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

Chapter 84 Calling You Xuanjin

When he said this, Sheng Baoling didn't think that what he said was too intimate, but just looked at Pei Ci.

Caring cannot be hidden.

Seeing her like this, Pei Ci's heart felt like a small boat rippling in the lake, shaking and shaking, a little dizzy.

That was the care he had never seen in Sheng Baoling at this time in his previous life.

Compared with the previous life, Sheng Baoling in front of him has changed a lot, especially in getting along with himself, the change has been great.

In her previous life, she had always treated herself respectfully, both as a minister and a teacher, but she never regarded her as a friend, let alone going out of the palace to visit her in Pei's mansion like she is doing now.

Just because I'm sick.

This change made him feel unreal, but he wanted to hold on to it firmly.

After a long while, Pei Ci said slowly, "The melons and fruits are refreshing, but I am just gluttonous for a while."

Sheng Baoling smiled, "Pei Xiang still looks like a child."

As she spoke, she unconsciously bent the corners of her mouth, and even her eyes, like a crescent moon in the sky.

Pei Ci was a little lost. He didn't look away silently until the servants outside came in to get the medicine bowl, but his fingertips under his sleeves tightened slightly.

"Are you ready to eat?"

Sheng Baoling shook his head slightly, "Not yet."

Breakfast is used, but lunch is not.

"If you don't mind, why don't you stay in Pei's house for dinner?" Pei Ci asked tentatively, his voice was flat, as if he was asking casually.

But only he himself knew how uneasy he felt when he asked such a sentence.

I was worried that Sheng Baoling would refuse, but also worried that she would discover something because of it.

Compared with Pei Ci, who thought too much about every word, Sheng Baoling obviously thought less, and his thoughts were not so deep, so he just nodded slightly, "That's fine."

For some reason, he didn't have much appetite earlier, but now that he arrived at Pei's mansion, he was hungry and really wanted to eat something.

Hearing that Sheng Baoling agreed, Pei Ci was stunned. It wasn't until the servants brought up the lunch and helped him to sit down that the little girl he carefully hid in his heart was sitting opposite him. very realistic.

He had thought about it more than once, what he would look like when he was having dinner with Sheng Baoling in Pei's mansion, and he knew very well in his heart that there was no such possibility at all, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

Previously, when she frequently came to listen to old scholar Qin's class, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of keeping Sheng Baoling for dinner, but at that time he realized that she was deliberately avoiding him, so he gave up such a thought.

But now, she is really in Pei's mansion, sitting down in his courtyard and house, and the two of them have a peaceful meal.

Just like ordinary couples...

Pei Ci, who realized that he was thinking too much, slowly looked away, holding a spoon in his hand, drinking the porridge in the bowl, and still had the bitter taste of the bowl of medicine in his mouth.

Sheng Baoling's appetite was so good that he almost forgot that there was another person in front of him.

"I didn't expect that the food in Pei's mansion is so good." The corner of Sheng Baoling's mouth curled up. No wonder the former emperor always came to this Pei's mansion. Sometimes you never returned to the palace even after the meal time. The people in the palace turned around in circles.

There are too many delicacies in the palace, such small porridge and side dishes are more popular.

If she had known that the porridge in Pei's mansion was so good, she would have stayed to eat it a few times even though she had the cheek to do so.

That is to say, Pei Ci didn't know Sheng Baoling's thoughts. If he knew, he might want to keep Sheng Baoling in the next few days.

"As long as you like it." The corner of Pei Ci's mouth hooked slightly.

Sheng Baoling didn't notice it, but just ate the food in the bowl, chatting with him from time to time, about the affairs in the court, some family talk, and some things related to the thorough investigation of the Minister of the Household Department.

The matter has been investigated to this point, and even the murder case many years ago has been pulled out. The little girl who lost her relatives and lived in the land of fireworks seems to have become a key witness.

Li Fang naturally thought of this person, and sent people overnight, trying to get rid of him without anyone noticing, but it was too late. Long before Liang Yu brought the matter to light, Sheng Baoling had already arranged for someone to stay with the little girl. Although he is not a peerless expert, he is more than enough to deal with these officials' lackeys.

Not only did the man have no hands, he was captured instead, and he still had token evidence on his body.

"Attempt to pay for murder, another crime." Sheng Baoling's voice was calm, but there was no big ups and downs in emotion.

Pei Ci nodded slightly, "You have arranged it very well, now let's see how many people can be pulled out of this matter."

For so many years, Li Fang is not the only one who is eating the oil and water of the Ministry of Finance.

"This matter is thanks to you. If you hadn't revealed something to Liang Yu, I wouldn't have been able to arrange this matter." Sheng Baoling said, casting a grateful look at Pei Ci.

Liang Yu has never been in harmony with people in the court, he is extremely rigid, he doesn't listen to good or bad things, he only believes in evidence and himself.

When the late emperor was still there, he admired Mr. Liang very much. He investigated all cases, and anyone who was guilty would risk his life to punish him.

Such a person would naturally not collude with Li Fang and Lou Taishi and others, so it is best for He to leave this matter to him to investigate.

Obviously, Pei Ci also thought of this, so he revealed this matter to Liang Yu, and then Liang Yu revealed the matter. In the end, Sheng Baoling naturally handed over the matter to Liang Yu for investigation.

Others naturally wouldn't doubt it, let alone say anything more.

"The duty of the humble minister is, the empress dowager is welcome." Pei Ci said.

Sheng Baoling shook his head, "This place is not in the palace. The two families of Sheng and Pei are in contact, and you and I are considered friends. From now on, we will be called each other by name. What do you think, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Ci was silent for a moment, he was naturally willing, and finally nodded in response.

Sheng Baoling smiled, put down his chopsticks, and poured tea, "So, from now on, I will call you Xuan Jin like the late emperor."

The word "Xuan Jin" hit Pei Ci's heart unexpectedly!

He thought that the so-called matching of names and taboos refers to Pei Ci.

Unexpectedly, she called her watch directly...

For a moment, my heart fluctuated, and a "bang bang" resounded through the sky.

At this time, Sheng Baoling didn't know how much influence the word Xuan Jin had on Pei Ci when he said it from his own mouth. He just thought that his Biao words were extremely nice, even better than the two words Pei Ci.

Resignation, resignation, she always felt that after listening to it, it seemed that he was about to die like the world, and sometimes she really didn't want to shout like that.

But Xuan Jin is pleasant to hear, he is like a "Jin", unparalleled in beauty.
