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

Chapter 99

The three of them ate, talking one after another, although the atmosphere was not hot, it was quiet and comfortable, much more comfortable than when they were in the Sheng Mansion.

Sheng Baoling was originally not in high spirits when he was in the Sheng Mansion, so naturally he didn't eat anything, but now, facing Pei Ci's face, his appetite soared inexplicably.

The people on the left and right of her watched this scene, feeling relieved for a while.

After half an hour, Sheng Baoling was eating and the two were talking about the affairs of the court, but it was not a big deal.

If it was another girl sitting between the two of them, she might not be able to get in the conversation at this moment, and she would have left the table early, but it was Sheng Baoling who was sitting at the moment.

Even though she remained silent, when the two talked about differences, they would still look at her and ask her what she thought.

It is really harmonious for the three of them to eat such a meal at the same table.

Because the atmosphere was so good, Jian Jia couldn't help expressing that if Mr. Pei was replaced by the young master, it would be a real family.

"I heard that Sheng Lang is going back to Beijing?" Pei Ci suddenly asked, but when he asked, his eyes turned to Sheng Baoling who was beside him.

He glanced at it indiscriminately, and then looked away, as if he was just asking casually.

But Sheng Baoling knew that he was reminding himself that Sheng Lang was back, and if she left the palace again, she would no longer be able to use Sheng Lang's identity.

Sheng Gong only knew that Sheng Baoling used Sheng Lang's identity to go to Pei's private school for a while last year, but he didn't know that this year, she used Sheng Lang's identity to go to Pei's privately for seventy or eighty times.

If Sheng Lang came back and Sheng Baoling used his identity to go to Pei's house, it would be exposed sooner or later.

Sheng Gong nodded slightly, "I'm coming back, and I'll be there in a few days."

"I don't know if I haven't seen him in the past few years. Has his hair grown out?"

Thinking of his younger brother's bald head a few years ago, Sheng Gong couldn't help laughing.

Dumb, very cute, look, she looks more like a little girl than Sheng Baoling.

Sheng Baoling frowned, almost forgot about it, Sheng Lang's identity can no longer be used.

Jian Jia on the side was relieved when she heard this, she was always worried that the empress would be exposed sooner or later, and now that the young master is coming back, the identity of the empress can no longer be used, and if she goes out of the palace again, she can no longer use the little prince The identity of the son went to Pei's house.

In this way, the possibility of meeting King Jing is greatly reduced, and there is no need to be so worried, which is more or less a good thing.

In her heart, she felt at ease.

Pei Ci looked at Sheng Baoling again, and saw that although her face was calm, those eyes revealed what she was thinking.

It seems a pity.

For a moment, he even thought that this pity was that Sheng Baoling felt pity that he would not be able to come to Pei's mansion frequently in the next few days.

Even though Sheng Baoling came to Pei's residence, most of the time he was looking for the old scholar Qin.

But for the rest of the time, he was talking to himself in the study.

Last time, I went to the incense room...

Thinking of the Xiangfang, Pei Ci thought of that time in the Xiangfang, when Sheng Baoling almost fell down, and accidentally encountered that little lip contact, and his heart suddenly felt hot.

Afterwards until now, neither of the two mentioned this matter, nor did they apologize for it or anything like that.

But only Pei Ci knew that in private, when he was eating, dealing with official affairs, chatting with others, and even walking on the street, when he saw any familiar street scenes related to Sheng Baoling, he would always think of that day in Xiangfang unexpected.

Sometimes in the dream, I dreamed again and again.

It's just that everything in the dream was bolder than that day, and every time I woke up, I felt a sense of loss and emptiness in my heart.

What he wants is always much more than the original.

Sheng Baoling lowered his eyes and drank the soup in the bowl slowly, that's all, that's fine, in private, he doesn't have much contact with Pei Ci, lest he can't hide his thoughts in the future, and it will be difficult .

Different from the two people who were full of their own melancholy, Sheng Gong ate and drank well, with a bulging belly, and even called someone to bring a pastry for him to take home to eat.

When he was getting money, Sheng Gong touched himself pretendingly, and said in surprise, "Ah! I didn't bring any money!"

Sheng Baoling sat beside him, quietly watching his brother's clumsy performance.

Before Sheng Gong continued to perform, Pei Ci took out his purse and took out the money without even looking at Sheng Gong.

The whole movement is smooth and flowing, without any hesitation, which shows that he is a generous person.

It is very different from the image of the stingy left minister in Sheng Gong's mouth, it is not the same person at all.

Sheng Gong's eyes narrowed immediately, as expected, he couldn't be too honest when necessary, look, how could Pei Ci refuse to pay if he put on a pretense?
It seems that this trick is still effective against Pei Ci.

After paying the money, Pei Ci immediately looked at Sheng Baoling, as if Sheng Baoling was the only one eating at the table.

"Are you going back to the palace?"

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, "I've been out for a while, it's time to go back."

At this time, Sheng Gong didn't even notice the difference between Pei Ci and Sheng Baoling.

He even didn't realize that these words should have come from his own mouth, but at this moment, Pei Ci did it for him.

He followed the two of them back to the back door of Sheng Mansion, and entered from inside. Sheng Gong just wanted to send Sheng Baoling out of the gate of Sheng Mansion, but was called away by his servants, saying that Mr. Sheng had something important to discuss.

After Sheng Gong left.Sheng Baoling and Pei Ci walked along the path in the courtyard.

After hesitating, Pei Ci took out the thing, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and handed it to Sheng Baoling who was next to him, "You gave me a seal before, but now this one is worth it.

I've heard before that Pei Ci is a person who doesn't like to owe people anything, but owes favors to others. I haven't experienced it at that time, but now I have experienced it for myself.

She smiled and took it from Pei Ci's hand. She took it very steadily, but did not touch the skin of Pei Ci's fingertips.

It is a jade seal with excellent hand feel.

Small and exquisite, it is most suitable to carry on the body.

It's just that looking at this technique, it doesn't look like a famous craftsman in Bianjing can polish it.

In order to make something before, Sheng Baoling did a lot of research on the techniques and categories of various craftsmen in the city.

"Thank you." The corners of Sheng Baoling's mouth were curved, and a smile was always on his lips.

Before sending the things out, Pei Ci was in Pei's mansion, even from Pei's mansion to Sheng's mansion, from Sheng's mansion to the restaurant, and from the restaurant to Sheng's mansion all the way, thinking how to send it away .

Would Sheng Baoling find it strange?

He was backing off again in his heart, just because, in his previous life, he had sent a similar one on her birthday, but was rejected, saying that he loved it.

Here he is, how uneasy...
