After talking to the concubine for a long time, it was time for lunch before I knew it. The good concubine hadn't seen the eighth master for a few days, so naturally she wanted to keep him for dinner.

Speaking of which, when the eighth master is in charge of the internal affairs office now, he often walks around the palace, but he is busier than before, but he doesn't have so much time to say goodbye to the concubine.

"When the spring is warm, you often bring Tuan Tuan into the palace to sit." The good concubine said to Mao Tongtong.

She has long been out of favor, and her life in the palace has become boring. Both day and night seem to get slow. She often felt that she had been sitting in front of the window for a long time, but in fact it was only half a day. There are only a few things that can pass the time every day, and as the days go by, I feel more and more sad.

Loneliness is a feeling that everyone in the palace will have. Especially the women who have fallen out of favor. Eating and waiting to die is sometimes not easy.

"Okay, the concubine must bring more groups into the palace to greet the mother." Mao Tongtong responded very happily.

Concubine Liang is Tuan Tuan's grandmother, and she should have come to visit often.

Seeing that she deserved it without the slightest hesitation, the smile on the concubine's face became a little more.

When the two were about to leave the palace, the good concubine asked about Tuan Tuan's first birthday.

"He's your eldest son, you can't be sloppy."

"E-niang, my son knows. When the date is set, the son will come to the palace again to tell Eniang. "The eighth master said.

"That's good." Concubine Liang smiled and watched the two leave at the gate of the palace.

"Master, are you going to celebrate Tuan Tuan's first birthday?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Hmm." The eighth master did not deny it. He doesn't need to be reminded by a good concubine, he will do it well. This is the son born to the woman he loves the most, and he is the eldest son, and he can't wait to give him the best.

Mao Tongtong frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Master, the three banquets of Tuan Tuan are quite grand, isn't it good to hold a big event now when you are one year old?" ”

"Tongtong doesn't like it?" The eighth master raised his eyebrows.

"I think the child is so young, there is no need to pay too much attention to these forms of things." Mao Tongtong said: "It's good for us to be lively and lively." Don't you still have to catch Zhou? I'm afraid that too many people will scare him. ”

What she didn't say in her heart was that Guo Luo Luo was pregnant now, but the eighth master held a first birthday banquet for Tuan Tuan, what would the guests think? What would Guo Luo Luo think in his heart?

Now that Guo Luo Luo has a child, he has no thoughts on the woman in the backyard for the time being. If this incident stimulates her, it will not be easy to do something excessive.

"Haha, it's just to exercise his courage! How can the son of the master be afraid of people? The eighth master laughed.

Mao Tongtong was a little helpless, she found that the eighth master was really stubborn in this kind of thing. At the beginning, she also washed the third banquet, and she also persuaded the eighth master, but he didn't listen! At that time, she felt that the eighth master was probably because he was a first-time father, so she was a little overexcited, so she didn't persuade much, and finally let the eighth master go.

She glanced at the eighth master, thinking about how to persuade her, but she saw the smile on the eighth master's face slowly fade, and said again: "Tongtong, the master doesn't want to be wronged." ”

Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this had to do with being wronged.

The eighth master smiled, there was a bit of bitterness in his smile, and he said in a low voice: "When I was a child, I would be envious when I saw my younger brothers at the lively washing banquet. Because Eniang said that there was no one when the lord was born. ”

Mao Tongtong's expression was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The ninth and tenth masters, who were born after the eighth master, one mother concubine is favored, and the other mother concubine has a high status, so Kangxi will naturally not treat him badly.

At this moment, she suddenly hated the good concubine a little! Why did she tell the eighth master about these injustices? Such a young child naturally longs for his father's love. But she made him feel inferior to others in comparison again and again since he was a child. It's too cruel for a child.

"Master, Tuan Tuan has our love and will not be wronged. He is still a one-year-old child, and he will not have any memories of the ceremonies you have done, big or small, when he grows up. Mao Tongtong persuaded softly.

"But I don't want him to ask later, or hear from others that I don't value his first birthday." Eight Masters said.

Mao Tongtong looked directly into the eyes of the eighth master, and said very seriously: "Master, you believe me." As long as Tuan Tuan always feels our love, he will not have bad thoughts because of other people's words. He will have his own judgment. ”

The eighth master's expression was a little dazed. Mao Tongtong's statement is very different from that of a good concubine.

What he heard from the good concubines since he was a child was how Kangxi was unfair to their mother and son. After listening to it a lot, he will subconsciously compare, and gradually find out that this is indeed the case, so he will accumulate resentment in his heart, and he will think about how to change the status quo!

On the one hand, he worked hard and felt that he was no worse than any prince, and on the other hand, he had some inferiority. I often wonder if it's because he's not good enough, so Kangxi ignores him and doesn't pay attention to him!

Listening to Mao Tongtong's words at this moment, he suddenly thought, if Eniang didn't say that to him when he was a child, but tried to make him not feel those injustices, would he be different?

"Master?" Mao Tongtong shook his hand a few years ago.

"Huh?" The eighth master came back to his senses.

"What do you think? So fascinating? If you really want to do something big for Tuan Tuan, do it. Mao Tongtong said.

The sadness of the eighth master just now was seen in her eyes, and Mao Tongtong suddenly felt a little distressed. If holding a birthday banquet for Tuan Tuan can make the eighth master's dream come true, she is willing to compromise.

The eighth master looked at Mao Tongtong, who looked concerned in front of him, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Master listens to Tongtong." Tuan Tuan's washing banquet is lively and lively for his family. Invite the eldest brother to the gathering, and the people next to him will not be invited. ”

Mao Tongtong was surprised that the eighth master changed his mind in an instant, but this was exactly what she wanted, so she immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for being willing to listen to my opinion." ”

"Yes, thank you." Eight Masters said.

"Huh?" Mao Tongtong was confused, what did she say?

The eighth master smiled and didn't explain, but he took her hand and led her all the way out of the palace gate.

During the Chinese New Year, except for the hustle and bustle of the first few days, there is still a break later. The eighth master finally fulfilled his promise and took Mao Tongtong and Tuan Tuan to the hot spring village for a vacation.

This can be said to be the most comfortable few days after Mao Tongtong gave birth. Every day, from morning to night, you can see the eighth master and Tuan Tuan, and I really experience the life of a family of three.

At this time, it is a good day to soak in the hot springs, and Mao Tongtong will soak several times a day. Sometimes it's indoors, and sometimes it's outdoors with the eighth master, enjoying the scenery and soaking in the hot springs.

In addition to soaking in the hot springs, the most she did was to play with the eighth master on the Zhuangzi with Tuan Tuan. Tuan Tuan, who is almost a year old, is learning to walk and want to talk. Looking at the changes of children every day, people have to sigh at the magic of life.
