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

Chapter 7

Back in the palace, on Sheng Baoling's face, the smile that hung on his lips during the day was obviously less, and a little more indifferent.

Even the little emperor came to accompany him to have dinner, and he seemed to be in a lack of interest.

Smelling the incense in the palace, the little emperor glanced at Zhu'er who was waiting aside without any trace, his eyes were slightly gloomy, but when he looked at Sheng Baoling again, he looked like an obedient child.

"Have the queen mother read the brochures sent today?"

A few days ago, due to physical problems, the little emperor never asked anyone to send the booklet.

Today, however, Sheng Baoling left the palace, and the little emperor sent someone to bring today's booklet over.

Sheng Baoling's tone was light, and he responded, "You can't be reckless about the year name, and you need to discuss it with several ministers tomorrow."

After hearing Sheng Baoling's words, the little emperor obediently said, "This matter, the queen mother will decide."

"The son obeys the mother's orders in everything."

But the moment he lowered his eyes, his hand suddenly tightened the chopsticks in his hand, the light in his eyes dimmed, but his fingers quickly loosened.

Even though he couldn't see the expression on the little emperor's face at this moment, Sheng Baoling knew in his heart that it must not be much better.

Because of her poor health, she ignored most of the things before, but now that her health is good, she will naturally not ignore many affairs of the court.

It was originally scheduled to go to court tomorrow to listen to politics.

And the little emperor sent the booklet today, nothing more than to use the excuse that he has no time, so that he can completely take the power into his hands in a fair and honest manner.

At such a young age, he has such vigilance and deep thoughts, which even the late emperor of the past cannot match.

Once the little emperor has all the power in his hands, and if he has no trump card, neither he nor the Sheng family behind him will be able to live a good life.

In the future, when the little emperor has full wings, the Sheng family will only become the second Fan family.

Therefore, it is another way for the father to send someone into the palace.

But since the little emperor has such thoughts, no matter how many people are sent into the palace, even if he secures the position of empress, it will be useless in the final analysis.

A faint smile appeared on Sheng Baoling's lips, but with a bit of coldness.

Only by controlling everything in your hands is the best policy.

The little emperor in front of her was never someone she could rely on.

When the little emperor left, he glanced at Zhu'er invisibly, the latter's back felt cold, his body trembled fiercely, and his cold hands were suddenly clenched.

When she raised her gaze quietly, the little emperor looked obedient and reassuring.

One can't help but wonder if that trembling gaze just now is really him.

The excerpt from the above was suppressed for two days.

Many ministers, after getting the news, were very dissatisfied with Sheng Baoling's move.

With the new emperor ascending the throne, the queen mother's move is not to follow the example of the previous queen mother?
It wasn't until Sheng Baoling summoned several ministers to discuss together, and finally, the new emperor's year title was determined, with the words "benevolence" and "virtue".

Wait for the spring of next year to change the year name.

From this year name, it can be seen that those who were dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager's expectations for the new emperor gradually dissipated.

Because Sheng Baoling got up early and had a poor appetite, Jian Jia ordered someone to serve breakfast until the court was over.

But after only two mouthfuls of porridge, Sheng Baoling looked at the memorial on the desk, but frowned, "Is there any interesting news outside the palace?"

Jian Jia looked at the untouched meals on the desk, and sighed slightly in her heart, "Mrs. Pei, the Pei Family School opened yesterday, and around today, all the young masters who were originally scheduled to study at the Pei Family School will go."

If there is anything interesting recently, it can only be this one.

Sheng Baoling paused slightly with his fingertips, "It's indeed an interesting story, it would be a pity if you don't go and see it."

During the speech, she looked up at Jian Jia, with a slight smile on her lips, "What do you think?"

Jian Jia pursed her lips tightly and remained silent for a while.

Half an hour later, Jian Jia in the Empress Dowager's palace was out of the palace to do some business, and turned around and went into a tailor shop in the city.

After a while, a man in a silver-gray gown came out from the inside, his steps were slow and low-key, but his face really made this person not low-key at all.

He went all the way to Pei's mansion, along the way, many people cast their eyes.

I don't know whose young master is born so exquisitely. Although the clothes on his body are made of ordinary materials, they make his complexion extremely white. At first glance, he is a noble man who rarely shows up outside. His noble aura is a bit hidden Can't live.

On the contrary, some men, after a few glances, sneered and thought to themselves: Although they are good-looking, they are really feminine.

When they arrived at Pei's mansion, Sheng Baoling was stopped by the porter.

Just when Sheng Baoling was about to let him pass it on, a cool voice sounded from behind him. In the rustling autumn wind, it was like a gurgling stream hitting a stone, which was surprisingly pleasant.

"This is the young master of the Sheng Mansion, so don't be rude."

Sheng Baoling looked back, and bumped into Pei Ci's eyes, which were still neither sad nor happy, but made Sheng Baoling inexplicably flustered.

Wearing a purple official uniform, it complements the whole person with a bit of austerity, making people afraid to look at each other.

She lowered her eyes subconsciously, and her eyes fell on the wrist bones under his sleeves. She was thin, but good-looking.

The concierge hurriedly apologized.

Pei Ci walked towards the mansion from outside, and walked beside Sheng Baoling. There seemed to be a third person standing at the distance between the two of them.

He slowed down his pace a little, "Why did your empress come here?"

The voice is soft, the eyes are not squinted, if it is not that there is only Sheng Baoling walking beside him, it makes people doubt whether he is really talking to the person beside him.

Sheng Baoling pursed her thin lips, "Isn't it the son of Sheng Mansion?"

Pei Ci stopped, turned his gaze to Sheng Baoling.

At this time, already in the courtyard of Pei Mansion, the autumn leaves were blown down by the wind at the right time, and they fell on Sheng Baoling's shoulders and stood still. Pei Ci's eyes fell on the fallen leaves, and the tip of his thumb lightly crushed it. The index finger refers to the pulp, and it has not moved for a long time.

Sensing Pei Ci's gaze, Sheng Baoling frowned slightly, and subconsciously reached out to sweep her shoulder, but before touching the fallen leaf, the leaf had quietly slipped from her shoulder.

Only then did Pei Ci look away from her shoulders, and bowed his hands in a salute, "I was disrespectful just now, please forgive me."

The voice was low and light, only two people could hear it.

Obviously, whether it was at the door just now or this time, Pei Ci probably guessed that Sheng Baoling was going out of the palace secretly in such a disguise.

If you expose your identity, you may be in trouble.

Only then did he call her the son of the Sheng family and bring her into the mansion.

As for which son of the Sheng family it is, no one will go into it.

"Master Pei, you don't need to be too polite, I should be the one who thanked you." Sheng Baoling nodded slightly.

After a while, she said again, "I heard that Pei's residence has set up a private school. I was curious, so I wanted to take a look."
