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

Chapter 96
There is disappointment in Master Sheng's eyes, it's for the daughter in front of him, and the same is true for the second room and his party next to him. In the past, they loved this niece the most, because this niece lost her mother since she was a child, and they treated her as their own daughter. Bao Dai is no different.

Although he didn't ask for anything in return, but now, he was greatly disappointed.

This Baodai is her own sister, so when she enters the palace, she will naturally help her, and will not rob her of her wealth, why is she so guarded.

"My minister sees the Empress Dowager."

"Women see the Empress Dowager."

Different from the first time I went back to Sheng Mansion, the warmth back then, but now, is all alienation and politeness.

If you don't know, you might think that this family has always been like this.

Although Sheng Baoling felt a little disappointed in her heart, she didn't show it at all on the face. In the Sheng Mansion, she never regarded herself as the queen mother, but now, these closest people are called the queen mother. How can a loss be described? "Father, second uncle, second aunt, third aunt, don't be too polite."

Jian Jia at the side saw it, she felt so sorry for her mother, she couldn't help being annoyed, if she mentioned something to go back to the Sheng's house, she should have guessed that the people in this Sheng's house would more or less know that the mother hadn't let Miss Baodai into the palace. Some faces.

It's good at this moment, in previous years, birthdays were fine in the palace, and the late emperor was busy, but now he came to this Sheng mansion to suffer.

The co-authors of this big family are connected by blood, but it is everyone's heart.

Now all come to poke her mother's heart.

It's the third bedroom, who is watching the drama from the sidelines at the moment, and was originally not happy to watch the second bedroom show off. If Sheng Baodai enters the palace, how can she have a good life as the third bedroom?

Fortunately, Sheng Baodai did not enter the palace.

At this time, Sheng Baoqin, the concubine of the third room, was proud, but she was afraid of being seen by others, so she hid it very well.

The same was true for the two concubines in the second room, and they stood together with Sheng Baoqin, but when they looked at Sheng Baoling, they felt a little guilty, and unconsciously lowered their eyes, not daring to look any further, thinking of the last time, when they said that Sheng Baodai was caught What happened.

On the contrary, Sheng Baodai was faintly aware of their changes, her brows were frowned, she was originally straightforward, and she was influenced by Pei Wan's quick words in the palace, now she was thinking of something, feeling unhappy, so she blurted out, "Father Why is mother so polite today, sister came back after a long time, why is she like a guest who came to Sheng's mansion."

As soon as Sheng Baodai said this, the atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment.

She pulled Sheng Baoling and sat down beside her, but she didn't regard Sheng Baoling as a queen mother at all. In her own family, there were not so many rules, she was her own sister.

"I heard from elder brother that Sheng Lang will be back in a few days." Sheng Baodai said.

This was a few days ago when she overheard Sheng Gong and Mr. Sheng say that Sheng Lang is in much better health and will be returning to Bianjing in a few days.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know what he looks like now. Will he be a little bald?

Thinking about it, Sheng Baodai couldn't help laughing.

Thinking of Sheng Lang's appearance last time, Sheng Baoling also smiled slightly. It's good that Sheng Lang came back, and lived in Bianjing City for a while, she hadn't seen this brother for many years.

It was obviously different from the last time. At that time, the elders of the Sheng family all pulled Sheng Baoling to talk about the family affairs, asking about their health, and their words were full of distress and care, but today, it is really deserted.

Sheng Baodai said a few words from time to time, and the group of people waited for Sheng Gong to come back in the overly quiet hall, and had lunch together.

After a while, Sheng Gong finally came back. Before entering the hall, a hearty voice came in first, "I came back later, did you wait for me for a long time?"

Hearing the sound, Sheng Baoling stood up and faced forward, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Just wait for a while, it's okay to wait a little longer."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure appeared behind Sheng Gong, dressed in white clothes like frost, consistent with the dream, the same as every time she had seen before.

Sheng Baoling froze for a moment, looked at Sheng Gong, and saw Sheng Gong explaining, "When I came back, I met Xuan Jin and saw that he was not feeling well, so I brought him back together and let him rest in the mansion for a while, so I came back a little late. .”

With Pei Ci's body, the carriage should not be too bumpy.

At this time, Sheng Gong would blame Pei Ci for being late.

Facing Sheng Baoling's gaze, Pei Ci cupped his hands slightly, but he didn't call out the Empress Dowager as usual.

For some reason, Sheng Baoling felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

For a moment, she thought of the first time she returned to the Sheng Mansion after the late emperor left. At that time, the people in the Sheng Mansion, whether it was her father, or her second uncle and aunt, treated her kindly and never alienated her.

On the contrary, Pei Ci was estranged, and he called Empress Dowager, louder and more respectful than anyone else.

But today, it's the other way around.

Sheng Gong was careless at first, so naturally he didn't notice the strange atmosphere of the people in this room, Sheng Baodai wanted to talk to Sheng Gong secretly, but was pulled aside by the second house lady, and sat with her.

On the contrary, Pei Ci noticed the change from the moment he entered the hall. The people in the Sheng Mansion treated Sheng Baoling with too much politeness and respect, not at all like ordinary girls returning home.

It was completely different from the last time he met Sheng Baoling in Sheng Mansion.

Sheng Gong kept serving dishes to Sheng Baoling, and asked a lot of things about the palace, Sheng Baoling answered them one by one, but the people on the side, listening to these things about the palace, the expressions on their faces were really not good. how nice.

A lunch, a table of people, each with their own minds, can't talk about one piece, let alone a family.

Sheng Baoling didn't eat much, so she lost interest and continued to take it with her, but because it was rare to go back to the Sheng Mansion, if she was in a hurry to go back, let the little emperor and outsiders know, and treat her as divorced from the Sheng Mansion.

After lunch, Sheng Gong still wanted to take Sheng Baoling to Mr. Sheng's study to talk, and it would be good for the family to talk about themselves.

When Sheng Gong said something, Sheng Baoling frowned, Master Sheng turned around, didn't say whether it was good or bad, and left with his hands behind his back.

Pei Ci, who had witnessed this scene, knew that others could not be treated by himself, but when it came to Sheng Baoling, he couldn't see her being wronged at all.

He gave this bad friend Sheng Gong a hand, and went to the side corridor to talk, "Did you really not see the expressions on the faces of your father and your second room when they saw your sister today, or did you just pretend not to?"

Sheng Gong was stunned for a moment, "What face?"

He was too busy talking to Sheng Baoling, so how could he care about other people's faces?
Pei Ci had no choice but to say in a deep voice, "Your second wife's younger sister has not entered the palace, and your father and the second wife feel somewhat unhappy."

Sheng Gong frowned, he didn't think about it, after all, Bao Dai didn't want to enter the palace...
