After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 51 What did Lord Pei do with his brother?
Master Sheng has always been guilty of this daughter in his heart, but when compared with the Sheng family Xingrong, this guilt is often so small that it can be ignored.

In particular, he has always been clear in his heart that Sheng Baoling was not really forced to be sent to the palace back then.

The first emperor was generous and merciful, and gave the second way, King Jing, who was about the same age as Sheng Baoling.

But at that time, Empress Dowager Fan's power was all over the sky, and all the people in the court and the public were her people, even King Jing, how could she keep the Sheng family?
In the choice of the daughter of Sheng family Xingrong and Sheng Baoling, he had no choice but to abandon this daughter.

He is the head of the Sheng family, and he has no other choice if he wants to take pictures of the Sheng family.

Second Uncle Sheng was stabbed in the heart by Sheng Baoling's words.

Bao Dai did say that she did not want to enter the palace, but the palace was not good. The food and clothing were all the best in the entire Song Dynasty. Looking at Sheng Baoling now, as the empress dowager, how noble her status is, even with the Sheng family , also rises together with the tide, shining brightly on the lintel.

Instead of finding an ordinary family to marry, it would be better to enter the palace and be the master, with someone to wait on, why not?
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Sheng Baoling said in a deep voice, "Father, second uncle, the prosperity of the Sheng family has never been based on sending people to the palace. If only one woman can support the entire Sheng family, What about the son of the Sheng family?"

"Where's your brother? Where's your cousin?"

"These are just short-term things, how long?"

Sheng Baoling's words can be said to be heartbreaking.

But it is precisely because relying on Sheng Baoling alone, I have obtained some benefits that I have never had before, and I am afraid that one day in the future, the little emperor will take power, and Sheng Baoling, the queen mother, will no longer be able to rely on the Sheng family. sent to the palace.

Sheng Baodai listened outside, her uneasy heart finally sank.

Listening to Sheng Baoling's words, Master Sheng and Second Uncle Sheng wanted to say something, but found that they didn't know what to say at all.

At this point, whatever you say is wrong.

Sheng Baoling is not Sheng Baodai, she is not only the daughter of the Sheng family, but also the current empress dowager.

Taking ten thousand steps back, there is already a difference between monarch and minister.

Even if Master Shan wanted to say something, he had to take into account the difference in status.

Seeing that the two were speechless, Sheng Baoling's face remained unchanged, and said in a deep voice, "Daughter is still the same sentence, Bao Dai's temperament is not suitable for entering the palace. If the second uncle is really thinking about Bao Dai, then this matter will be ignored." Bring it up again."

As he said that, seeing Master Sheng hesitated to speak, Sheng Baoling stopped giving him a chance to speak, and quickly said,
"I think the father and the second uncle should have something to say, so the daughter left first."

After the words fell, she turned around and walked outside.

The moment the study room was opened, she met Sheng Baodai's reddish eye sockets head-on, she smiled, stretched out her hand and patted Sheng Baodai's head, "Why panic, I will protect you if I say so, and I will protect you."

Saying this sentence, Sheng Baodai's tears that originally swirled in his eyes slid down his cheeks.

Outside, the sisters are deeply affectionate, but inside the study, there is a dignified atmosphere.

Master Sheng and Second Uncle Sheng didn't speak for a long time.

Second Uncle Sheng had a look of worry on his face, "Brother, what should we do about this?"

If Sheng Baoling does not agree to send Sheng Baodai to the palace, no matter how they plan, it will be useless.

At this moment, Mr. Sheng's complexion was not very good. Anyone who was said by his own daughter would feel very uncomfortable, especially when he said it in front of his younger brother.

He couldn't hold back his face.

"What else can I do? After she said that, I can still tie people up and throw them in!?"

Uncle Sheng, who had been blown all over his face, couldn't say a word after all.

...

When he was about to leave Sheng's mansion, Sheng Baoling was obviously depressed. When he met Sheng Gong who came back from outside, he also had a gloomy expression when he saw Sheng Gong.

It seems that I have suffered a big loss.

"What's wrong, brother?" Sheng Baoling asked.

Sheng Gong sneered, and said with Sheng Baoling, "Pei Xuanjin, that bastard son, plotting against your elder brother and me, that's really cool!"

I know that Pei Ci has a lot of thoughts, but I never knew that he would put his eyes on such things.

"It's just a few taels of silver, so I search like this, no girl deserves him!" Sheng Gong cursed as if he had caught someone listening to him.

Sheng Baoling was silent... Is Pei Ci digging?

Seeing Sheng Gong's anger burning on his head, and not knowing what Pei Ci did to make Sheng Gong so angry, Sheng Baoling smiled, "I'm afraid it's not good for my brother to insult the prime minister in public like this."

"If it reaches Master Yuan and the others..."

Sheng Gong sneered, "Those old men can say whatever they like, and the girl's marriage has to be mixed up. What kind of decent people are they?"

Sheng Baoling: "..."

It seems that the elder brother was really angry with Pei Ci.

At this moment, she was really curious about what a decent gentleman like Pei Ci could do.

Let the elder brother yell at him regardless of the occasion.

Leaving secretly from the back door of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Baoling took Jian Jia to avoid the guards, put on a veiled hat, and walked towards the market.

Jian Jia was still a little flustered, in the past, the empress would go out of the palace alone to wander around, but this time, she brought herself with her.

If someone finds out, I'm afraid I'll get some boards, and my head will fall to the ground.

"Your Majesty, let's just come out like this...isn't it good?" Jian Jia hesitated, intending to drag her master back.

Sheng Baoling's eyes were slightly bent, and a faint smile spilled out of the corners of his eyes, "The palace is so boring, don't you want to come out for a walk?"

Sometimes after staying outside the palace for a long time, looking at the palace city again is like looking at a cage.

Jian Jia pursed her lips, "I think this is what I want, but I'm going out in an open and honest way..."

Instead of acting like a thief with a guilty conscience, for fear of being discovered.

She kept praying in her heart, but don't meet acquaintances!
However, what she never expected was that just after turning the corner, when her mother bought a candied haws, she ran into the left minister, Pei Ci, who was walking towards her.

Jian Jia was stunned, what kind of relationship did her mother-in-law have with Mr. Pei, how did she go and see her?

Even Sheng Baoling was slightly surprised, "Why is Mr. Pei here?"

Didn't Pei Ci travel in carriages or sedan chairs?
Walking like this, can you stand it?

Sheng Baoling stared suspiciously at Pei Ci for a few moments, but he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and then fainted in front of his eyes with a pale face.

Pei Ci's gaze stayed briefly on the candied haws in Sheng Baoling's hand for a while, then he looked away calmly and said, "Shicai and Ziyang ate too much, take a few steps to digest."

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, Xiaoshi, that makes sense.

But Jian Jia behind her was full of doubts, who would walk in the market in broad daylight to digest food?

What's more, Prime Minister Pei is so weak, so if he wants to digest food, he should go back to Pei's mansion, right?

Seeing Pei Ci, Sheng Baoling remembered the way Sheng Gong yelled just now, and couldn't help curling his lips, and asked curiously, "What did Mr. Pei and elder brother do?"
