The eighth master's steps were a little hurried. Not long after he entered the DPRK on business, he often went out of Beijing in the past two years. Every time she goes out, E-Niang is worried. So once he returns to Beijing, he will go to greet Eniang for the first time.

"What time is the beginning of the day?" The eighth master asked.

Chen Guo thought for a moment and said, "Go back to the master, today is the fifteenth." ”

Because there is no queen in the palace, the concubines do not need to ask for peace on weekdays. But there is now an imperial concubine Tong Jia in the harem. Because he is Kangxi's maternal family, he is a cousin with Kangxi, and it is said that he has a childhood sweetheart's feelings, so the concubines of the harem will still go to greet Tong Guifei on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and sometimes they will be led by Tong Guifei to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother.

The eighth master's Eniang Wei is now just a concubine with no rank, and she is not qualified to ask for peace. But Concubine Hui, as the head of the four concubines, will definitely go on such a day.

So when the eighth master heard that today was the fifteenth, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. At this time, Concubine Hui is afraid that she is still at Concubine Tong's, or the Queen Mother has not returned to the palace. He will be able to see Eniang first when he goes to Chuxiu Palace in a while.

It's not that he has any dissatisfaction with Concubine Hui. It's just that every time I want to see my mother, I have to say hello to others first, and it is a pimple in my heart after all. So he was very motivated when he was a child, and hoped that one day he could make his mother more expensive than his son, and he would be crowned a concubine, and he would become the head of the first house.

Chen Guo obviously thought about it too, and seeing that his grandfather was in a good mood, he also became happy.

Wei lived in the side hall to the west of Chuxiu Palace.

The palace was sad for a long time, and Wei also believed in the Buddha like most women in the palace. Reciting the scriptures and copying the scriptures every day and counting the Buddha beans, the time is also better.

When the eighth master came, she had just knelt in front of the Buddha and finished reciting a scripture to keep the eighth master safe.

When he heard that the eighth master was coming, his face suddenly showed joy.

She was already beautiful, and this smile was more like a flower blooming, and suddenly became more beautiful.

"Lift me up." She said to the palace maid beside her. After kneeling for a long time, my legs were numb for a while.

The palace maid hurriedly helped her up, and as soon as she walked to the hall, she saw the eighth master open the curtain and come in.

"Erchen greets Eniang. E-Niang has been fine lately! ”

"Excuse me, sit down and talk." Wei hurriedly said: "E-Niang is all right in the palace. As for you, this errand has been out for so long, and everything is going well? E-niang, look at you again! ”

Wei looked at the eighth master distressedly. She is such a son, and she knows how hard her son works for her position. Seeing that he put in a lot of effort from others at a young age, she didn't feel good in her heart.

The eighth master looked at her with a smile and said, "The errand went very well, and I have just returned to Huang Ama." Jiangnan is a rich land, and Erchen did not suffer in the past. E-niang is distressed about her son, so she always says that her son-in-law has lost weight. ”

"Just coax me! Are you skinny or not, I haven't seen it yet? I must have rushed again on the way back. Wei said.

"I can't hide anything from my mother." The eighth master smiled, "Naturally, my appetite is worse when I am in a hurry." After a while, Eniang will make up for her son, okay? ”

Wei smiled and said, "Knowing that you are back today, I made soup stew in the small kitchen early in the morning, and also made your favorite sour soup fish fillet." ”

Although Concubine Hui is the lord of the first palace of Chuxiu Palace. But Wei has lived with him for so many years, and his relationship with Concubine Hui has passed. Besides, the eighth master was also raised by Concubine Hui when he was a child, and he had the grace of nurturing, so it was even more impossible to treat Wei harshly. So this small kitchen or something, Wei went to say it, and he also obeyed the orders.

"Blessed is the minister." The eighth master showed a greedy expression, and the amused Wei was in a better mood.

The mother and son talked, and a little eunuch came in outside to say that Concubine Hui had returned from Cining Palace.

"Eniang, my son-in-law went to ask Concubine Hui for peace." The eighth master got up and said.

"Let's go, let's go together." Wei also got up.

In the main hall, Concubine Hui just sat down to take a breath. There are already minions who have come to report that the eighth master is coming. She had to pick herself up again.

Although going to Cining Palace to ask for peace is just a sitting, but the concubines are talking with wit, which is quite brain-consuming. So she just wants to see no one and be quiet alone.

However, it is also a rule for the eighth master to come and greet her, so she has to see her.

So when the eighth master, mother and son came, Concubine Hui already had a gentle smile like a signature on her face.

"Eighth Elder Brother did it go well this time? Looking thinner, it can be seen that it is hard. I will let your mother make up for you. "Words of concern come casually. Concubine Hui's words are also a little sincere. After all, it is a child who has raised himself.

"Concubine Xie Hui's mother remembers, Erchen's errand went very smoothly this time." The eighth master replied with a smile.

"It's good if it goes well. Rest for a few days. Concubine Hui said.

After a few more greetings, the eighth master also saw that Concubine Hui's spirit was insufficient, so he got up and said: "Erchen sees that Concubine Hui is also tired today, you rest first, and Erchen will come back another day to greet Concubine Hui." ”

"Well, go ahead, have lunch with your mother." Concubine Hui was not polite.

Only then did the eighth master retreat with the Wei family and return to the side hall.

After lunch, the eighth master went back to his brother's office.

He is only fifteen years old this year, and he has not yet left the palace to build a mansion.

Now except for the eldest elder brother, who has left the palace to build a mansion, the second elder brother and the prince live in Yuqing Palace, and the rest of the elder brothers over the age of six live in the elder brother's office. So it's still very lively in the Brother's office.

This will be the time of the lunch break, and when the eighth master enters the elder brother's office, it will be quiet. He went back to his yard and was about to rest, when he heard footsteps outside, and then the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother walked in together.

"Starling, you're back!" The two of them were grinning, obviously waiting for him all the way.

"The ninth brother and the tenth brother sit." The eighth master also smiled. Among the many brothers, these two younger brothers are the closest to him.

Because his mother was from a humble background, even the minions dared to bully him when he was a child. The mothers of these two younger brothers are both in high positions, but they never look down on him, but love to follow him.

"Starling, didn't you say that it would take two or three months to go to Jiangnan this time! Why did you come back so soon? "Brother Ten is a quick temper, and he didn't sit down steadily, so he started to ask.

The ninth elder brother also looked at the eighth master, obviously very curious.

"Huang Ama is urgently summoned." The eighth master just said this simply.

"Why?" Brother Ten asked again.

"It's not peaceful on the Mongolian side, I'm afraid I'm going to go with it." Eight Masters said.

"Going to war?" The tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were both stunned.

The eighth master nodded and said, "If nothing happens, it should be on the expedition this month." ”

"Hey, Huang Ama will definitely not agree to my going!" Brother Ten said distressedly. He's only thirteen years old, so he's a little younger.

The eighth master couldn't help laughing and said, "You are not afraid of the danger of going to the battlefield!" ”
