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

Chapter 56 Did I Forget Something?

"Probably not coming."

Sheng Gong said, Pei Ci was not feeling well, and he would have to recuperate for a while, not to mention the husband had left, so they had no chance to come to Sheng's mansion.

But listen, there is always something wrong in his heart, staring at the younger sister in front of him with deep eyes, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Sheng Baoling's heart thumped, and he panicked, and he couldn't help but tightened his cuffs, fearing that Sheng Gong would see what he was thinking.

"It's... just asking."

But seeing her frightened look, Sheng Gong frowned, holding a sachet in his hand, looking at Sheng Baoling, every word was extremely slow and serious, like a brother, "Tell brother, But who among them bullied you?"

He is clear about the tempers of those friends. Although there are one or two tempers that are unreliable and like to bully others, they will not bully his sister Sheng Gong.

But it doesn't rule out that there is such a bear-hearted leopard who is so courageous, seeing that Sese is easy to bully.

Sheng Baoling, who was still a little flustered at first, was stunned for a moment when he heard what Sheng Gong asked himself, and then heaved a sigh of relief for no reason, with a smile on his face, "No, just ask, if you don't come, you will come later." When I can't see you anymore, I want to say goodbye."

Sheng Gong smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, since we can't see each other, there is no need to say goodbye."

That's what he said, but Sheng Baoling's heart sank, a little lost, and he felt that the sachet in his arms didn't seem so pretty anymore.

Back at the house, Jian Jia was packing things outside, Sheng Baoling took out the sachet and held it in the palm of his hand, it was heavy, and what came to mind was that the man was wearing white clothes.

With every frown and smile, Pei Ci was a young man with a gentle and refined look.

Can't see you?

Sheng Baoling sighed slightly, put the sachet into the box, hid it, and didn't look at it again.

On the day when the results were released, Sheng Baoling sat in the carriage, listening to the commotion on the street, as well as congratulating each other with his father, elder brother and several friends and colleagues.

Even Jian Jia had a smile on her face, "Great girl, the eldest son is the second best Jinshi!"

Judging by the reaction of the master outside, it is probably quite advanced.

Sheng Baoling quietly opened a corner of the curtain of the carriage, looked outside, looked around, as if looking for someone, but he couldn't see the figure he wanted to see, so he couldn't help but sighed.

Jian Jia was taken aback, "What's the matter, girl?"

The son is on the list, shouldn't he be happy, why are you still sighing?

Sheng Baoling looked at Jian Jia, and suddenly said, "Jian Jia, go and have a look and ask, and look at those friends who came to the house earlier, is there anyone on the list?"

Although Jian Jia didn't understand why Sheng Baoling suddenly became interested in those people, she obediently got out of the carriage and went to inquire.

It is said to inquire, but in fact, it is to stand beside Sheng Gong and the others, and listen to what they have said, and they can probably understand it.

After a while, Jian Jia ran back happily, "Girl, I found out all about it, and it seems that two of them have also won, and the number one scholar is Lang!"

Sheng Baoling's eyes lit up immediately, "Did you find out the name of Zhuangyuan Lang?"

Jian Jia shook her head, "I didn't listen."

Sheng Baoling was disappointed for a while, but soon, she was happy again. She thought to herself, it should belong to that person, and it can only be that person.

On the same day, when I returned to the Sheng Mansion, the entire Sheng Mansion was full of excitement, but not long after, this excitement was completely broken by a Yi decree.

Sheng Baoling was also sick. He had a fever for two days, and when he woke up again, his head was dizzy and empty.

She often leans against the window and looks outside, watching the wind blow the leaves, listening to the laughter of the people outside, and the chirping of the birds outside, all of which are just as in her impression.

But she always felt that something was missing, something was missing, but she couldn't remember it.

When Jian Jia came in with food, seeing this scene, she hurried forward and closed the window, "Girl, your body is just right, it's impossible to blow the wind anymore."

Looking at the food at that table, Sheng Baoling had no appetite at all, pursed his thin lips, and asked after a while, "Jian Jia, did I forget something?"

Jian Jia was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Sheng Baoling would ask such a question suddenly, she looked nervously up and down, left and right, her complexion was rosy, she didn't look like she was sick again.

What's more, in the past two days, the imperial doctor was invited to come to see, so naturally there is no problem.

"Girl, why not talk to your servant, what did you forget?"

Sheng Baoling bit her lips, but she couldn't say a word. She just asked because she didn't know what she had forgotten.

If she knew what she had forgotten, how could she ask this question.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Sheng Baoling's voice was flat, maybe he just forgot some ordinary trivial matters.

Jian Jia looked at Sheng Baoling like this, but she was always worried, whether it was about entering the palace, the girl couldn't bear it?
Otherwise, as for being ill, it will take a few days to recover.

...

That night, when Sheng Baoling woke up from her dream, the sky was still not completely bright. She stood up, lit a lamp, sat aside, took out the incense pills from the wooden box, and placed them in the incense burner to light them.

When the fragrance lingered in the sleeping hall, the whole body slowly relaxed.

She squinted her eyes slightly, smelling the fragrance, and thought of Pei Ci again... The figure in white in the dream did not have the sachet sent out.

It's dawn, I just want to understand, I don't plan to think deeply about the things that I may have forgotten in the past, but the dreams I have at night are always so real.

It seems that she is really young and ignorant, clumsily approaching that seemingly elusive celestial being step by step.

But they are all like the sachet that was not sent out, and was forgotten and hidden in the end.

It's okay if I can't remember, but if I had that kind of thought at that time, how could I enter the palace willingly and stay in this palace for so many years.

At this time, Sheng Baoling had long believed that during that period of time he had forgotten, the person in white was Pei Ci.

So much so that at this moment, she recalled that when she "meet" Pei Ci for the first time a few years ago, she was amazed and lost her mind for a moment, as if she had seen it before, but she didn't think about anything else at that time.

At that time, she accompanied the late emperor and was already a queen, and Pei Ci was a trusted minister selected by the late emperor.

In the dispute with the first queen mother, Pei Ci chose the first emperor, step by step, and brought the power back into his hands bit by bit for the first emperor.

As a minister and as a friend, he can't fault him in the slightest.

Really like his words.

Sheng Baoling sighed slightly, and slightly clenched the sachet he brought back during the day.

She was only a few years old at that time, maybe Pei Ci had long forgotten that her old friend's younger sister was just gentler.

Sheng Baoling only felt that he was affected by frequent dreams recently, and his heart began to shake, and he fell bit by bit to a position that should not be tilted.

There are signs, but they fall uncontrollably, and can only watch them fall little by little, and no matter what they do or think, it is useless.
