"Has Xiao Quanzi returned?" Mao Tongtong asked. She still remembered asking Xiao Quanzi to deliver a letter to the eighth master.

"I've been back a long time ago, and I've already told Gonggong Chen." Qingzhu Road.

"That'll do." Mao Tongtong nodded reassuringly, "Lest Lord Belle run in vain." Saying that, she glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's so late, hasn't Lord Belle returned yet?" ”

She suddenly returned home, and the eighth master must have come to ask why.

"Not yet. I heard that Lord Belle has been quite busy lately. "Seedlings said.

Mao Tongtong was sleeping in the afternoon, and their slaves and maids were not idle. Packing up the stuff, the packing of the news, the inquiring news. After all, I haven't been in the house for a few days, and I'm afraid I'll miss something.

"I guess it's going to be busier next." Mao Tongtong said. She had been accompanying the Eighth Master and them last night, and naturally knew that the Eighth Master was now taking over the affairs of the Internal Affairs Mansion.

On the surface, it seems to be a big fat difference, which can be snatched from the prince's hands, and this fat difference becomes untasty. Kangxi's intentions couldn't be more obvious, but it hurt the heart of the eighth master. It can only be said that in Kangxi's heart, the son of the eighth master really has no weight.

It is no wonder that the eighth master in history is bent on ascending to the throne. Only by sitting in that supreme position can you have more control over your own destiny.

"Gege, Lord Belle will come over even if he comes back late, you better get up. I went to sleep again, and I couldn't sleep at night. Qingzhu persuaded again.

"Alright, let's get up." Mao Tongtong looked helpless.

After Mao Tongtong finished bathing and changing clothes, the eighth master came back. When I saw her, the first thing I said asked, "Why did Tongtong come back suddenly?" Didn't you tell your grandfather that you wanted to stay in Zhuangzi for two more days? ”

"I can't bear to watch my master run around every day, it's better to come back early. Besides, it's not interesting to be alone in Zhuangzi. Mao Tongtong said.

"That's it?" The eighth master didn't believe it.

"Or else? Isn't it enough for me to feel sorry for my master? Mao Tongtong said coquettishly.

"Not really." The eighth master smiled: "I just think you have been a little abnormal in the past two days. ”

"What do you think is wrong with me?" Mao Tongtong tilted his head and asked. Of course, she herself knew, but she couldn't arouse the suspicion of the eighth master.

"Last night," as soon as the eighth master spoke, Mao Tongtong immediately interrupted: "Can the master not talk about this?" I, didn't I just take the initiative! ”

Her face was flushed, she lowered her head in a shy manner, and stomped her feet to be coquettish.

When the eighth master saw her like this, he laughed, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said, "The master also said that you have become bolder!" I didn't expect it to retract again overnight! ”

"It's all said, maybe it's been said!" Mao Tongtong took the opportunity to pinch the eighth master's waist.

"Yo, annoyed?" The eighth master smiled and dodged for a while, and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." ”

"People haven't eaten all day, they're hungry!" Mao Tongtong said coquettishly.

"How?" The eighth master suddenly felt distressed, "When will you go back to the house?" Even if you miss the time to eat, you can let the kitchenette make something! ”

"I'm not tired yet!" Mao Tongtong said a little uncomfortably: "I fell asleep when I came back from Zhuangzi, and I just got up!" ”

The eighth master was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Hahahaha, you!" ”

"Don't laugh!" Mao Tongtong slapped the eighth master's chest twice.

The eighth master grabbed her hand and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, good, don't laugh, don't laugh!" I don't have dinner, let's go together, okay? ”

"Well, I'm going to let people pass the food." Mao Tongtong nodded.

Qingzhu on the side hurriedly responded: "Lord Belle, Gege wait a minute, the slave maid will let people pass the meal immediately." ”

It didn't take long for the meal to arrive. In addition to Mao Tongtong's favorite yam lamb chop soup, there are also many dishes that the eighth master loves to eat.

Both of them were hungry, and they didn't bother to talk after the meal was served, so they both buried their heads in eating.

Soon, the meals on the table were quickly wiped out at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

"Tongtong can't serve any more rice." The eighth master opened his mouth to stop Mao Tongtong's request for another meal, "I'm very hungry, I can't eat too much at a time, it hurts my stomach." Let's have a bowl of soup. ”

Mao Tongtong also knew that what the eighth master said was right, so he obediently obeyed and asked Qingzhu to serve him a bowl of soup.

"Next time, I'll be tired again, and I'll eat something before going to bed." Eight Masters said.

"Got it." Mao Tongtong responded, but muttered in a low voice, "It's really long-winded." ”

The two sat next to each other, and the eighth master didn't hear it, so he said helplessly: "It's still too long-winded." If you're sick, don't you feel bad? Aren't you distressed? ”

"People say they know." Mao Tongtong said with a pout.

"The temperament is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't say it!" The eighth master smiled and pinched her pursed lips.

"Are you tired today?" Mao Tongtong changed the topic, "I feel that the Internal Affairs Office is a very complicated place. ”

"It's fine. There's a familiar process for everything. The eighth master smiled lightly.

When he first entered the court on an errand, no one could help him, and he didn't slowly grope his way through. Is that time still hard to come by? In any case, he still has his own contacts in the DPRK and China, and has accumulated a lot of experience in the course of running errands in the past few years. Although there were many things in the Internal Affairs Office, and there were dark thunders left by Ling Pu, he was not too worried.

There is no way back when we come to this point, we can only face the difficulties. If he didn't have this ability, Kangxi wouldn't let him go! After all, the crown prince is not a useless person, and he can't always be too weak as his opponent.

"Ye is really calm." Mao Tongtong admired.

"I've taken this errand, what else can I do if I'm not calm?" The eighth master smiled.

"Yes. Ye is so capable, others can do it, you must do it too! And even better! Mao Tongtong patted his ass back.

The eighth master was amused, patted her on the back and said: "Tongtong has never liked to say these flattering words, but today he suddenly said such a few words, so that the master is not used to it!" ”

"Do you think I'm not good?" Mao Tongtong raised her eyebrows.

"Good! How bad! The eighth master hurriedly said: "Listening to the master is comfortable!" ”

"Cut, it's true or false!" Mao Tongtong said disdainfully.

"Tongtong, I still like you to be so happy." The eighth master looked at her and suddenly said, "If you have something on your mind, tell the master, and the master will call the shots for you." Don't hide it in your heart alone, you are not happy, and you are worried. ”

The smile on Mao Tongtong's face froze, knowing that it was his abnormality last night that worried the eighth master.

"Master, I'm just homesick. You know, I'm favored at home, and Amma, Eniang, and Big Brother all love me. Since the summer when the capital was blocked, I haven't communicated with my family, so I can't help but feel a little sad. I am sad and sad, and it will be fine in a few days. Nothing else. Mao Tongtong looked at the eighth master very seriously.
