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

Chapter 95 If there is no Sheng family, how would she be where Sheng Baoling is today?
The case of changing the death row prisoner was handled properly, even if the little emperor didn't want it in his heart, he had no choice but to say a few words.

After this incident, King Jing's reputation and popularity in Bianjing even increased.

And recently, it was the Queen Mother's birthday.

The counselors of Prince Jing's Mansion were caught in a dilemma when it came to preparing the ceremony.

If the Empress Dowager is the first, naturally there is no need to be difficult in this matter, but now, on the face of it, King Jing and the Empress Dowager are not on good terms. If they are too flamboyant, the little emperor might be afraid.

But secretly, the queen mother has been helping King Jing. If it is perfunctory and shabby, it will affect the relationship between King Jing and the queen mother.

What kind of birthday gift should be prepared for this is really a difficult problem.

What this counselor of King Jing's Mansion didn't know was that King Jing had already prepared a birthday gift in private, but he didn't plan to give it out in the open, but when he was going to meet in private, Hand it over to Sheng Baoling.

In the study, the counselor mentioned the queen mother's birthday to King Jing. King Jing's attitude was calm and he didn't have much emotion.

The counselor nodded, this is indeed true.

Compared with the previous empress dowager, this little empress dowager is really low-key and simple. In previous years, the presents received on the queen's birthday were a bit more common. I heard that in the palace, the expenses for food and clothing were also extremely simple.

If this gift is too luxurious, it may be counterproductive.

...

Pei Mansion
The housekeeper sent several birthday gifts prepared according to Pei Ci's instructions to the study.

Things are placed on the desk, there are high-quality inkstones, high-quality wolf brushes, high-quality jade Ruyi, and jade that is hard to find for a lot of money.

Pei Ci sized up a few things, finally picked up the piece of jade, and played with it in his hands, already having a plan in his heart.

The butler quietly looked at Pei Ci's expression, and found that although his lord still had a straight face as usual, when he held the jade, his eyes were obviously much gentler, presumably he wanted to do something with this jade .

Could it be that your lord is planning to use this piece of jade to make something for the empress dowager's birthday gift?
"Just this bottle of jade wishful." Pei Ci said in a cold voice, but his eyes did not fall on the bottle of jade wishful, instead he kept looking at the jade in his hand.

Obviously, he was much more satisfied with this piece of jade than with Yu Ruyi.

The butler was stunned for a moment, and ordered people to take the rest of the things down. When he was about to leave, he looked back at Pei Ci again. Didn't your lord want to beat this piece of jade by himself?
After the butler left, Pei Ci put the jade on the table, took a pen, and drew a pattern on the paper. After a while, the pattern of a jade pendant appeared on the paper.

When drawing this style, what appeared in front of his eyes was the woman in the pink dress, with beautiful eyes and hopeful eyes, and a charming smile.

The corners of his lips hooked up, and a smile overflowed from his eyes, but no one could see it.

...

Sheng Baoling returned to Sheng Mansion two days before her birthday.

There wasn't a lot of ostentation, and the carriage was deliberately low-key.

Sheng Gong was not in the mansion and went out. When he saw Sheng Baodai, he could faintly sense that Sheng Baoling was not in a very high mood.

Sheng Baoling probably knew what was going on in his heart, it must be because of the marriage between King Jing and the girl from the Qi family.

Sheng Baodai thought that she had hidden her emotions well, but she didn't know that all her emotions were seen by Sheng Baoling.

But King Jing is definitely not a good match for Sheng Baodai, this point, even Sheng Baodai herself is clear in her heart.

But knowing it in your heart is one thing, but being able to accept it is another.

Sheng Baodai has King Jing in her heart, and after all these years, it's not like she hasn't had the chance to get a good marriage, but she didn't even look at it, and all she could think about was the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.

After waiting for several years, he finally waited until the young man returned to Bianjing, when he was at the age of marriage, but the person he was going to was not himself.

The depression in my heart can't be dissipated in ten days and a half months.

"Knowing that my sister has everything in the palace, and my sister has nothing to give, I embroidered a sachet, and my sister can take it with me."

With that said, Sheng Baodai handed the sachet filled with calming spices that she had embroidered a few days ago to Sheng Baoling.

After Sheng Baoling took it, he didn't give the sachet to Jian Jia who was next to him. Instead, he brought it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it twice, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "It smells good."

I looked at it carefully again, "Embroiderers are also good at it."

It can be seen that Sheng Baoling prepared this birthday gift with great care.

She really took Sheng Baoling, the eldest sister, into her heart and treated her very carefully.

Seeing Sheng Baoling's behavior, the depression in Sheng Baodai's heart dissipated a lot, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, smiling from the bottom of her heart, "As long as my sister likes it."

Sheng Baoling smiled, put away the sachet, and took Sheng Baodai to the hall.

Mr. Sheng and others had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and only Sheng Baodai ran out to look for Sheng Baoling.

Looking at this scene, Jian Jia felt really uncomfortable.

Needless to say, it must be because the empress did not bring Miss Baodai into the palace, which made the Sheng family unhappy. The attitude of the Sheng family today is completely different from the attitude of the Sheng family last year. , has changed too much, as if it is not the same Sheng family at all.

The empress was very concerned about the Sheng family, and she couldn't eat well or sleep well for many times, but now she just failed to fulfill their wish, so she treated each other like this.

Thinking about it outside, the empress is the empress dowager, and now she is close to the Sheng family because she is thinking about her family in her heart. There are many things that the empress does not care about.

Too much to say, the current situation of the Sheng family is all in exchange for the freedom of the empress.

But now, the members of the Sheng family don't feel grateful at all, and they treat each other like this because of Miss Baodai's matter.

If it wasn't really inappropriate, Jian Jia really wanted to scold him: White-eyed wolf!
In this Sheng mansion, the only ones who really treat her mother-in-law sincerely are Miss Baodai, the eldest son and the younger son.

Sheng Baoling said in his heart that it was a lie that there were no waves at all, and he was somewhat disappointed, but he had already prepared in his heart, and seeing this scene, he could accept it.

From the time she entered the palace, she knew exactly what she was to the Sheng family.

Seeing this daughter, Mr. Shan felt extremely complicated.

It's not that he didn't feel sorry for this daughter in the past, but now that she is an empress dowager, she is still a member of the Sheng family, but she doesn't know how to think about the Sheng family and continue this honor. Wouldn't it be better for one more person in the palace to take care of each other?
Why don't you know how to promote your own sisters.

In his heart, he was really disappointed.

If there was no Sheng family, how would she be where Sheng Baoling is today?
