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

Chapter 57

The next day after court, Sheng Baoling had a meal, and Jian Jia noticed the obvious tiredness in Sheng Baoling's eyes, so he lit incense knowingly.

"Your Majesty, you didn't sleep well last night, were you dreaming?" She asked warmly.

Sheng Baoling was eating, but he was a little absent-minded. Hearing Jian Jia's words now, he thought of last night's dream again, and frowned, "Jian Jia, do you know why people always dream of the same person?"

Jian Jia blinked, she didn't understand, but she guessed that Sheng Baoling seemed to be saying that she had been dreaming about other people frequently recently, so she couldn't help laughing, "I have heard it before, and I think about it every day, and I think about it at night." Dream."

Hearing this, Sheng Baoling frowned, and his hand holding the chopsticks was also a little tight.

Thoughts every day?
Who can she think of?
...

After breakfast, the concubine went to the Hall of Compassion and Peace to pay her respects.

Sheng Baoling sat on the upper seat, took the teacup handed over by Jian Jia in his hand, held the lid of the teacup with his white fingertips, pressed his lip stained lips against the rim of the teacup, took two sips of the hot tea, and then put it down, His eyes passed by the concubines who had just entered the palace sitting below.

Jin Milan had the highest status among them, so she sat closer to Sheng Baoling.

Jin Milan entered the palace, except that her clothes became more luxurious and her make-up was more refined, but she couldn't see any other changes.

Sheng Baoling saw ambition in her eyes.

She had seen that kind of ambition in the Empress Dowager before, but now, she saw it in Jin Milan.

Sheng Baoling smiled lightly, this imperial palace is like a cage made of gold, and those flying outside are always thinking about the wealth and honor inside.

But those inside the cage always want to leave the palace, and what they think about is the freedom that they haven't experienced before.

Those on the outside want to come in, and those on the inside want to leave.

If she had had the chance to choose back then, perhaps she would not have set foot on this palace gate.

After all, Jin Milan is a girl's family, although her heart is heavy, she knows it secretly, and always has something in her words, as if she is comparing herself with other concubines.

Knowing what Jin Milan was doing these past few days, Sheng Baoling also found out that she was pulling all the good things to her side, and if they were not good, she would take the good ones and let others Stand up for her.

Sheng Baoling sighed inwardly.

It's me, I couldn't do this when I entered the palace, what happened and who was around me was all arranged by the late emperor.

Thinking of this, Sheng Baoling couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips. She didn't think so at the beginning, but looking back now, she found that the late emperor seemed to raise herself as a daughter more than the queen.

After the greeting, the concubines talked one after another, and some even took out handkerchiefs or handkerchiefs from their cuffs to cover their faces and wipe the traces of tea left at the corners of their mouths.

Jin Milan has never made such a small move before. In her perception, a person with her status will secure the position of empress, or even the empress dowager. She needs to be dignified and stable. Be generous, never petty.

The petty act of covering his mouth with a handkerchief can no longer be done.

Her every move fell on Sheng Baoling, who was drinking hot tea casually, and she raised her eyebrows slightly, "I heard rumors before that the girl from the Jin family was born very well. Know that the rumors are true.”

Those brows and eyes are extremely beautiful.

After being praised, Jin Milan also acted generously, "My concubine thanked the empress dowager for her ridiculous praise."

The daughter of Gao's family who was sealed off to repair the instrument was a little uncomfortable when she heard it.

This Jin Milan used to overwhelm her before entering the palace, but now that she has entered the palace, her position is higher than her, she overwhelms her with everything, and now she still looks good in front of the empress dowager.

Seeing Jin Milan's posturing, she felt annoyed in her heart, she immediately let out a cold scoff in her heart, turned her eyes away, and stopped looking at that face that disgusted her.

I'm afraid that if I look at it for a while, my hands will itch.

But at this time, the other Liu Zhaorong seemed much calmer, with a gentle and gentle temperament. When others talked, she just listened with lowered eyes and didn't say a word. When someone mentioned her, she raised her eyes slightly. , with a shallow smile, gentle as water.

It seems that there is nothing to ask for, which is not common in this palace.

Three people with different temperaments got together, and Sheng Baoling had a smile on his face.

After the three of them paid their respects and left the Hall of Compassion, she pursed her lips, "This palace hasn't been as lively as it is today for a long time."

Jian Jia could understand the meaning of Sheng Baoling's words, and smiled, "That's right, Gao Xiuyi almost made a hole in Jin Guiyi's body.

That angry but deliberately endured look, as if he needed to move his hands to feel relieved.

There is also that Liu Zhaorong, who neither fights nor grabs, is as gentle as water, seems to give in, he does not compare with the other two, and does not get involved in their affairs.

But in fact, this is where she is smart.

Under the movement, her stillness showed her advantage.

Sheng Baoling gently scratched the material of the cuffs with his fingertips, and the smile on his lips deepened, "I think with these three people, the official family should start to feel at ease."

What a pleasure to be near a beautiful woman.

Jian Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the empress was talking ironically.

With these three people in the harem, how can the official life be calm and comfortable.

Sheng Baoling shook his cuffs slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Go and forge the snow accumulated last time, and send it to Liu Zhaorong."

Jian Jia was stunned for a moment, the snow forging had been left unused all the time, she just wanted to make fresh clothes for her mother when it was hot in May and June.

With such a good material, there is only one horse like this in the Palace of Compassion.

"Your Majesty, there's only one horse for the snowfall, just to let the other two Empresses notice, but I can also give you other things."

As Jian Jia said, she thought to herself: This doesn't necessarily require snow forging, it's a pity to just send it out like this.

The smile on Sheng Baoling's lips has not dissipated, and when he looked at Jian Jia, his eyes seemed to be full of stars shining, "If it is not precious and unique, how can it reflect the Ai family's love for Liu Zhaorong?"

She wanted to win with silence, and she didn't like to watch this kind of drama where she pretended to stay out of the matter and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Now that he has entered the palace, he will be jealous and jealous, so it doesn't matter what he does, even if it's a play, he should finish watching it.

Jian Jia sighed slightly, it's a pity that this horse has been forged with snow.

But he didn't say anything else, he just ordered people to go, forged the snow out and sent it to Liu Zhaorong.

Under Jian Jia Qiuyi's deliberate instructions, the news that the Empress Dowager rewarded Liu Zhaorong with the snow forging spread throughout the entire palace in less than half an hour.

Liu Zhaorong, who received the Snow Forging, was obviously taken aback for a moment. She selfishly felt that she would not receive any reward today...

When she wanted to understand what Sheng Baoling meant, her eyes, which were as calm as autumn water, completely darkened.
