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

Chapter 31
Even though the sound of the fireworks blooming rang again, King Jing was standing beside him. Although his voice was low, Sheng Baoling could still hear him.

Her hand in the handbook suddenly tightened, but her face remained the same, just watching the fireworks blooming like delicate flowers, as if she hadn't heard it.

It was too late to wait for Sheng Baoling to respond, King Jing turned to look at Sheng Baoling, only to see that she was fascinated by the fireworks, obviously did not hear what he said just now.

He breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief in his heart, and he couldn't figure out whether it was because Sheng Baoling didn't hear what he said just now, or because he finally said what was suppressed in his heart, even though the other party didn't hear it.

King Jing withdrew his gaze, followed Sheng Baoling's gaze to the night sky, and felt that this year's fireworks were something he had never seen in previous years.

Sheng Baoling actually felt a little uneasy, once, she could pretend that she didn't hear, but if King Ruojing said it for the second time, she definitely couldn't pretend not to hear like just now.

She knew in her heart that if she agreed, King Jing would definitely do what she said and help her leave Bianjing City.

It is not difficult for King Jing to take a person out of Bianjing.

But everything comes with a sacrifice and reward, Jing Wang will not help her for no reason.

Sheng Baoling couldn't respond, even if she had thought about leaving the palace, leaving Bianjing, and living a free life, that was in the past.

Now, she can't move such thoughts, let alone express such thoughts to anyone.

Fortunately, King Jing didn't say it a second time.

Perhaps, he himself knew that such words should not be said.

I don't know how long it took, King Jing had already left, and Jian Jia approached Sheng Baoling, "Mother, it's windy outside, let's go back."

Sheng Baoling shook his head, looking fixedly into the distance, "Wait a little longer."

Jian Jia doesn't understand, what are you waiting for?
Just following Sheng Baoling, looking in the same direction, there is only a steady stream of fireworks, nothing else.

...

Everywhere in Bianjing is lively, but Pei's mansion is peaceful. Most of the people in the mansion go home to reunite with their families, so the lights in the mansion are less than usual. From the outside, it looks as if there is no one inside. like.

A few years ago, when Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei were there, there were still preparations in the mansion, and the reunion dinner was quite lively.

But this year, the two of them were not here, so the Pei family simply didn't even eat the reunion dinner.

It happened that Pei Wan's childhood was here, and she had no energy all day long. She lay on the bed and was fed porridge by the maid next to her. Now she was a little bit more energetic and thought about it. She asked the maid next to her, "Have you had dinner, brother?"

The maid replied, "Someone delivered it earlier, I think I'm eating right now."

"Your Excellency also sent some jewelry for food and other things. The girl will see what you like and keep a few for use, and the rest can be put away."

Pei Wan nodded slightly, but suddenly asked, "Brother, did you only give it to me? Or did you give it to those from other courtyards too?"

The maid knew exactly what her girl was thinking, with a smile on her face, "Of course my lord only gave it to our courtyard."

The few on the side, how can they compare with the eldest girls of her family, how can I say they are the serious daughters of the Pei family.

Others can't figure it out, but the lord can figure out who is his real sister no matter what he says.

The corners of Pei Wan's mouth twitched, feeling that her stomach hurt and her waist was sore all day, but now she is much better, "Brother, it's not too bad."

She just can't understand the few in the mansion.

The Pei Qing who was born out of a concubine was originally a servant girl by her mother's side, and her mind was not right.

In the past, my mother even invited her a daughter-in-law, but she didn't learn the slightest bit of knowledge.

On the contrary, she has learned all the methods and thoughts of her little mother. She talks about Shen Cong'an all day long, because she wants to marry into the Weiyuan Hou's mansion, but she always talks about her big sister, who is the same as that cheeky girl in Pei's house. Pei Hua, who was staying at home, quarreled, thinking that no one would know about his petty thoughts.

The borrowed Pei Hua was just a relative from the mother's side who lived more than ten houses away. She followed her mother to make friends with relatives, but her mother suddenly fell ill and left, so her mother left her to live in the mansion temporarily.

Who knows, this stay has been for several years, and she still said that her surname is Pei, and she doesn't know how many layers of makeup she has put on her face.

Last year, she mentioned it once, but she kept getting closer to her brother, trying her best to stay in Pei's house.

That is to say, the elder brother is upright and not close to women. Now, Pei Hua doesn't even have the chance to get close to his elder brother.

At that time, Pei Wan hoped that Pei Hua would be more daring, probably at that time her elder brother ordered someone to "invite" her out of Pei's mansion, so there is no chance of showing her face in the mansion now.

One sentence at a time, one yuan to his brother, yelling like Shen Cong'an is like her own brother.

Thinking of Shen Cong'an, Pei Wan felt angry and curled her lips.

The maid put down the bowl, handed the handkerchief to Pei Wan, but suddenly said, "Young Master Shen also brought something, can you take a look together later, Miss?"

Without raising her eyes, Pei Wan took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "Is it only for my yard, or for the other two yards?"

The maid sneered, "Second Miss and Cousin Girl's, of course it's not as good as the girl's."

"Lv'er looks at it from a distance, it's just some inconspicuous jewelry."

However, Pei Wan snorted softly, "He is a bowl of water, and every younger sister has to soak in the rain and dew. After a year or two, he can directly marry those two younger sisters back to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion together." .”

"My elder brother is older, my younger sister is shorter, I don't mind people listening to me, I still choke on the food I ate last night."

These two words were heard by the nanny who came in with Mrs. Tang, and the nanny hurriedly quickened her pace, "My aunt, don't dare to say that! If someone else hears it and spread it outside, you still can't hear it." Got it."

"Although Mr. Shen is a bit careless, you are the one who is on the bright side and has a marriage contract. Those two, how can you look at them!"

However, Pei Wan didn't listen at all, her eyes were sharp, and her heart was like a mirror, "This marriage will have to be withdrawn sooner or later."

Shen Cong'an's temperament is not what she wants to marry.

The mother comforted, "Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, how can you look down on a concubine and a cousin girl whose surname is not even Pei, then Mr. Shen is a caring person, even this temperament, it is not impossible to change, let's go Look."

Pei Wan snorted, "If he, Shen Cong'an, can change his temper, I, Pei Wan, will just let it go, and I won't say a word in the future!"

Mammy: "..."

I'm afraid that the girl's temperament will have to be tempered, otherwise she will suffer a lot if she really marries into the Marquis of Weiyuan in the future.

A few days ago, I heard that the Empress Dowager intends to find some girls to accompany her in the palace, maybe the adults can find a way to send the eldest girls to the palace.

It's also good to sharpen your temper and lip service.
