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

Chapter 62
What worried Sheng Baoling was that the related dreams and what happened in Pei's mansion today made her realize that those were unusual.

But just this one time didn't completely prove anything, but my heart was filled with inexplicable anxiety and panic, and I couldn't get peace of mind for a long time.

Jian Jia could clearly feel the master's emotional changes, but she didn't know the details, so she could only watch anxiously, even if she wanted to comfort her, she couldn't do anything.

When Sheng Baoling was about to take a break, she lit the tranquilizing incense.

Only when she was completely enveloped by the familiar fragrance, Sheng Baoling gradually felt at ease and fell asleep peacefully.

Then Jian Jia closed the door softly.

In the dream, Sheng Baoling frowned...

In the dream, it was hot in midsummer, and there was an ice basin in the hall, and Jianjia on the side peeled the fruit, and handed the flesh to Sheng Baoling's mouth one by one.

"Your Majesty, this year's melons and fruits are sweeter than last year's."

Sheng Baoling was eating the fruit, which tasted so sweet that anyone should feel refreshed after eating it, but at the moment, she was worried.

No matter how sweet the fruit is in your mouth, it doesn't taste good in your heart.

Jian Jia looked at it, and sighed in her heart, and probably knew why she was worried, but she couldn't share her worries.

The empress has been thinking about Mr. Pei's offer of a marriage for a long time. She is the one who is by her side the most. The empress clearly cares about Mr. Pei in her heart, but due to her identity, she can't reveal it anyway.

The sincerity of Mr. Pei is clear to the empress in her heart.

In the end it was God's mischief, if they hadn't entered the palace back then, the empress and Master Pei should have had a good relationship, but the birth of the empress entered the palace, the difference between the monarch and the minister, even if they were interested in each other, it was impossible.

But recently, perhaps because she discovered the thoughts of the empress, Mr. Pei got close several times, causing Sheng Baoling to retreat again and again. The relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Pei Ci has never been married, and is close to the Queen Mother, and is an older queen mother. There are many rumors about the two in the court, and they all guess that Pei Ci has fallen into the Queen Mother's eyes.

Therefore, always alone.

It is these rumors that have damaged Pei Ci's reputation. Recently, the Pei family has been ridiculed one after another.

Sheng Baoling wanted to give Pei Ci a marriage, on the one hand to break Pei Ci's heart, on the other hand, it was for the sake of the Pei family and Pei Ci's reputation.

Pei Ci will be a famous official of a generation in the future, and his life will be clear, so he really shouldn't be burdened by love and fame.

The light in Sheng Baoling's eyes dimmed. Today in the court hall, he mentioned that it was time for Pei Ci to get married, and in the imperial garden, he mentioned the dignified appearance of the girl from the Tang family. He should understand what he meant.

But even she herself didn't understand why the thought of Pei Ciruo marrying that girl from the Tang family made her feel uncomfortable.

Sheng Baoling didn't want to think about it anymore, so he asked Jian Jia to extinguish the candle, but at this moment, someone came from outside, and Pei Ci begged to see him.

Jian Jia was taken aback for a moment, and Sheng Baoling was even more taken aback.

Pei Ci has always been measured, if it is not urgent, he will never enter the palace late at night.

When someone brought Pei Ci in, his steps seemed slower and more steady than before, and every step he took was in Sheng Baoling's heart.

From the moment Pei Ci entered the palace, Sheng Baoling knew in his heart that he definitely did not come for business.

Jian Jia understood and withdrew the palace servants from the palace, only Sheng Baoling and Pei Ci remained.

Entering the hall, Sheng Baoling was sitting upright, and in front of him, Pei Ci was standing with a calm expression, but Sheng Baoling could feel the turbulent waves from that calm expression.

She pursed her lips, got up and walked towards Pei Ci, and opened the bead curtain with her fingertips, "Master Pei entered the palace late at night, but do you have something to play?"

Pei Ci's eyes were dark and his voice was low, "What's your intention today?"

When those eyes looked at Sheng Baoling, they were filled with different emotions.

Sheng Baoling panicked for a moment, subconsciously recognized the line of sight, avoided those eyes, and didn't look at Pei Ci, for fear of revealing his mind.

"Pei Xiang is nearly [-] years old. He has worked so hard for the court and the people for so many years that he delayed his marriage. Now it's time to start a family."

Such a passage, before Pei Ci came to ask questions, she had already thought about it countless times in her mind, so that when she said it now, she felt relieved. Before that, she was still worried about saying no. Export, or forget the wording.

Pei Ci's thin lips were pursed, and a pair of beautiful eyes revealed a slightly different expression.

"The humble minister has no intention of starting a family."

His gaze was fixed on Sheng Baoling, leaving the latter with nowhere to hide.

That gaze was so obvious that Sheng Baoling began to feel a little flustered.

"The girl from the Tang family is dignified. I've met the Ai family before. She looks very good. She is very similar to you..."

But before Sheng Baoling finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Ci.

"Weichen has a desire to belong and doesn't want to get married." The voice was cold, and the atmosphere in the hall that should have been hot suddenly cooled down.

Sheng Baoling was stunned, this was the first time Pei Ci interrupted others.

His temperament has always been calm, and he is even more modest in his dealings with others. Although he is distant, he is polite and will never do anything to interrupt others.

At this moment, Sheng Baoling panicked.

She gritted her teeth, and naturally understood why Pei Ci had no intention of getting married, and who she belonged to in her heart.

But she shouldn't know.

Sheng Baoling's eyes dodged, and he wanted to say something to fool him. Today, he avoided Pei Ci, knowing that his mood must not be as stable as usual at the moment.

But just as she moved her lips and before she could speak, Pei Ci in front of her moved.

As if he knew Sheng Baoling's plan, his eyes were deep and dangerous, and he didn't give Sheng Baoling the slightest chance to retreat. He approached little by little, with a sharp and dangerous aura, advancing step by step.

Sheng Baoling was flustered and backed away again and again, until finally, he was cornered by Pei Ci.

Pei Ci lowered his eyes slightly and bent his head slightly, looking directly at Sheng Baoling who was wearing a queen mother's air in front of his eyes, "I don't want to get married."

Feeling the heat from Pei Ci's breathing on his face, the soft fluff on Sheng Baoling's face moved slightly, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heart was beating violently, as if there was a deer in it Rampage, can not stop for a moment.

She bit her lower lip tightly, a little at a loss, and her hands under her sleeves clenched into fists.

"It's a person who should get married." She said in a cold tone, restraining herself from expressing any emotions.

That girl from the Tang family has a good temperament and appreciates Pei Ci's talent.

It was because the marriage was divorced before, and there were some criticisms in Beijing, and because the wife of the father's wife was in the way, so the marriage was delayed, and the best age to discuss marriage was missed, so that now it has passed the ordinary girl's marriage At this age, I'm still waiting in my boudoir.
