Chapter 135: A Rare Tenderness
"But Gege, you," Qingzhu said halfway, but didn't continue.
Mao Tongtong understood what she meant. She is a small character, and she has to consider how much to ask for a doctor, not to mention changing the doctor to a good master? The hospital won't sell her face.
"Isn't Imperial Doctor Xu coming to check my pulse in two days, I don't know if I can let him go and show the good master." Mao Tongtong said.
"Ah, yes. Doctor Xu's medical skills are still very good. Qingzhu suddenly, "You can try it." At the end, he sighed again, "It would be nice if the master was here." ”
After all, the eighth master is the prince, and his words can be much more useful.
"I guess I'm going back soon. He said he wouldn't be out for too long this time. Mao Tongtong said.
At this time, the eighth master, who was nagged by Mao Tongtong's master and servant, was indeed on his way back to Beijing.
After inspecting a few places mentioned by Jin Fu, and looking at his plan and calculated data, Ba Ye and Su He decided to return to Beijing immediately to report to Kangxi, and strive for the early implementation of the project.
Therefore, Mao Tongtong met the eighth master that night.
"E-Niang, how are you getting better these days?" Because of the late return, the eighth master did not go to Chuxiu Palace to ask Wei's peace, but came directly to ask Mao Tongtong.
"Not so good." Mao Tongtong replied: "The slave maid thinks that the medicine of the imperial doctor is not right, and is thinking about changing the imperial doctor to the good master." ”
"Change the doctor?" The eighth master frowned.
"A cough has been dragging on for more than half a month and hasn't gotten better, shouldn't I change to a doctor to take a look?" Mao Tongtong asked rhetorically.
The eighth master didn't speak for a long time.
"Can't you change it?" Mao Tongtong was puzzled. Isn't it said that it is expensive to pay attention to mothers and children? Wei finally gave birth to the son of the eighth master, and the eighth master is now quite reused by Kangxi. Is it difficult to change your own mother to a doctor?
"I'll go see it tomorrow." Eight Masters said.
Mao Tongtong opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips again. The eighth master's face is not very good-looking. She will also understand that the life of the eighth master's mother and son in the palace is not very easy.
It's no wonder that the eighth master in history wants to get ahead every day and wants to compete for the throne. When they become emperors, their mother and son are the most noble people in the world, and they no longer have to look at the faces of others.
"The master is tired, the slave maid asked people to prepare hot water and wait for the master to bathe." Mao Tongtong changed the subject.
"Hmm." The eighth master answered, and there was no more to say.
Mao Tongtong knew that he was in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he simply went to tell things and left the eighth master alone in the house.
When she came in from the outside, she saw the eighth master leaning on the soft couch and falling asleep. A handsome face is full of exhaustion.
Mao Tongtong sighed lightly and took a thin blanket to cover him. Who knew that the eighth master opened his eyes.
"If you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while." Mao Tongtong said softly.
"Press your head on the master." The eighth master closed his eyes again.
Mao Tongtong sat on the soft couch, rubbed his hands, and waited until the fever was hot, and then pressed the temples of the eighth master.
After a long time, the eighth master exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes and said, "Okay, let's wait for the master to bathe." ”
"Okay." Mao Tongtong helped the eighth master to get up.
The minions have already prepared hot water, and the eighth master's clothes are also ready. Mao Tongtong didn't let Qingzhu serve them this time, and she didn't feel shy, but served the eighth master alone.
Today's eighth master is exceptionally silent. On weekdays, I will tease Mao Tongtong, and when I am interested, I will get a mandarin duck bath or something. But from beginning to end today, he has been closing his eyes and being served by Mao Tongtong.
"Master, the water is a little cold, the slave maid will add some for you." Mao Tongtong's speech today is also rare gentleness.
For some reason, she felt that such an eighth master looked distressing.
"No need, get up." The eighth master opened his eyes and said.
"Okay." Mao Tongtong responded.
After waiting for the eighth master to get dressed and come out, it will be time for dinner. Just now, Mao Tongtong asked the servant to go to the dining room to order.
Taking advantage of the effort before the dinner was delivered, Mao Tongtong took a handkerchief to wipe the hair of the eighth master.
"You are here today with a rare tenderness." The eighth master suddenly spoke.
Mao Tongtong was startled, and the hand holding the eighth master's hair used his strength.
"Whew!" The eighth master grinned and frowned.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Mao Tongtong said busily.
The eighth master turned his head to look at her a little speechlessly, and said helplessly: "I just praised you, so I will give you such a look." What do you think? ”
"It's not weird." Mao Tongtong said coquettishly: "The house is so quiet, when you suddenly speak, won't you scare the slave?" ”
"Do you miss your grandfather these days?" The eighth master smiled.
"Well, I miss you." Mao Tongtong admitted that there was no pressure. Didn't she think about it this morning?
The eighth master raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised that Mao Tongtong answered so briskly and straightforwardly. You know, she is a little shy on weekdays, and she doesn't even coquettishly do so.
"I've worked hard for you these days." The eighth master patted her hand.
can say the words of changing the imperial doctor, which shows that she is really interested in Eniang.
"The good master is very good to the slave and the maid, and only let the slave and the maid read the script, and does not let the slave and the maid be tired." Mao Tongtong said.
She genuinely likes Webster. A mild-mannered beauty can easily overwhelm people when they release a little kindness.
"What kind of script did you read to E-Niang?" The eighth master said with interest.
"It's just the stories of talented and beautiful people." Mao Tongtong said.
"You don't like it?" Eight Masters said.
"If you watch too much, you feel fake." Mao Tongtong said: "The script, it's fiction." How can there be so many ladies who can meet outsiders at will? Love at first sight? ”
"You can see it clearly." The eighth master laughed and said, "But this kind of words have always been quite popular." The girls seem to love it. ”
"I know it's fake and I love to watch it, it's just asking for it." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.
"Can't ask for it?" The eighth master repeated. Is it love at first sight, or something else?
Mao Tongtong happened to see Wu Youcai coming in with a food box, and said busily: "Dinner is coming, the master is hungry, the slave maid specially asked people to go to the dining room and order a few dishes that the master likes to eat." ”
The eighth master is also really hungry, so this topic will end here.
At night, the eighth master rarely did not exercise. Maybe I'm really tired, or I'm worried about Wei's illness. just hugged Mao Tongtong and fell asleep quickly.
Before dawn on the second day, the eighth master went to the court, and Mao Tongtong also got up early in the morning and went to Chuxiu Palace, waiting for the eighth master to come over.
When Wei heard that the eighth master was back, his spirits improved a lot.
However, today's morning court is very long, and when the eighth master comes to Chuxiu Palace, it is already time for lunch.
"Erchen greets E-niang." The eighth master saluted and raised his eyes to look at Wei, and his brows furrowed, "Why is Eniang's complexion not as good as when Erchen left?" Doesn't the decoction work these days? ”
"No, I'm feeling better today." Wei hurriedly laughed, and looked at Mao Tongtong and said, "Did you say it?" It's a lot better than yesterday. ”
