Chapter 1020 - Disguise
The eighth master naturally didn't know these messy thoughts in Nian's heart. He walked so fast that he didn't even pay attention to Nian, who was wearing the bottom of a flower pot behind him. He had only one thought in his heart, that is, to end the greeting as soon as possible and go back to see Mao Tongtong as soon as possible.
The rain has stopped, but the weather is getting colder. But in order to keep up with the pace of the eighth master, Nian was stunned and sweated on his forehead.
The eighth master never looked back, she wanted to pretend to be coquettish or something. After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and insisted.
When the two of them entered the door of Chuxiu Palace, the eighth master seemed to finally remember that there was such a person as Nian behind him, so he glanced back.
This look surprised the eighth master. Nian's face was flushed, the sweat on his forehead had not had time to wipe it, and the person was panting slightly.
The eighth master was slightly ashamed, he only cared about his own thoughts, and forgot that it was very difficult for Nian to walk under the bottom of a flower pot.
Of course, he wouldn't apologize. Just paused slightly, gave Nian time to wipe his sweat, and then walked to Concubine Liang's residence.
Nian quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She endured hard work along the way, but she didn't miss the apology that flashed in the eyes of the eighth master just now. This has already served her purpose.
It is unrealistic to want to share the favor from the Mao family all at once. This morning's events have taught her a lesson! She can only start from the subtleties and subtly make the eighth master have a good impression of her.
Concubine Liang's meeting has already risen, and she is chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. It's a must-do for her every morning.
The eighth master and Nian Shi entered the house and did not disturb Concubine Liang, but sat outside and drank tea, quietly waiting for Concubine Liang to come out.
While drinking tea, Nian quietly looked at the furnishings in the room.
Although Concubine Liang has been crowned a concubine, she has never had an independent palace of her own, and still lives in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace. I don't know if she is reluctant to leave with Concubine Hui's sisterhood, or if Kangxi ignored it and didn't make arrangements. In Nian's view, it is most likely the latter.
Concubine Liang was favored in her early years, and because her background was too low, she was a concubine with no name for many years. If it weren't for the eighth master's appearance, Kangxi didn't want the eighth master to be too ugly, maybe the identity of the good concubine would not be mentioned. So the furnishings in this house don't look very good.
When she entered the second round of the draft, several mothers asked her to speak. They are all the main seats of the first palace, and the furnishings in the palace are much more gorgeous and exquisite than those of Concubine Liang.
After drinking a cup of tea, Concubine Liang finally came out.
Dressed in a moon-white flag suit, medium height, but with a slender figure, he was stunned to wear a straight flag suit a little graceful.
Nian put down the teacup and hurriedly saluted. But I thought in my heart, Concubine Liang really deserves her name! Just take such a rough look, a woman who is over forty years old, but she is still charming! You can imagine what a stunner you were when you were young! It's no wonder that the eighth master is handsome, and it seems that most of them have inherited the appearance of a good concubine!
"Erchen greets E-niang!" The eighth master showed his first smile after entering the palace.
"Get up, sit down and talk." Concubine Liang's voice was gentle, and she also had a gentle smile on her face.
"This is Nian's." She sat down and looked at Nian.
In fact, when Nian's entered the palace draft, Concubine Liang had seen it. Because the last show girls who can enter the second round have to live in Chuxiu Palace for a month.
Nian smiled a little shyly.
"What a beauty!" Concubine Liang said with a smile.
"The mother praised it falsely." Nian Shi hurriedly said: "In front of a beauty like Niangniang, the appearance of the concubine is very ordinary, and it is not beautiful. ”
"Hongu is old." Concubine Liang smiled: "You are in the flowering period!" It's just that you're a little weaker. It's better for women to be rounded. ”
The smile on Nian's face was a little stiff. Is this because she is too thin to give birth? But Concubine Liang herself is not a thin person!
"What Niangniang said is that the concubine will work hard to eat more and take care of her body!" Although he felt uncomfortable, Nian still obediently followed Concubine Liang's words.
Sure enough, Concubine Liang nodded with satisfaction. When you are an elder, you like such obedient juniors.
"Since you have entered the backyard of the Eighth Elder Brother, you must serve him well, get along with the people in the house, and spread more branches for the Eighth Elder Brother." Concubine Liang admonished.
"Niangniang's words, the concubines have all remembered them." Nian said with a slight blush. looks like a new daughter-in-law.
Seeing her shy appearance, Concubine Liang laughed again, nodded, and then talked to the eighth master.
"Is Mao's body okay? I'm four months pregnant. ”
"Well, she's fine, E-Niang doesn't have to worry." The eighth master smiled faintly and did not say anything about this morning.
Nian glanced at the eighth master, and also pursed his lips to keep smiling, he didn't know what to do.
"She is heavy now, and it is inconvenient to serve you, just when the newcomer enters the mansion and can share it. Even some things in the house can also be shared by Nian's now. When Mao's month is older, it is good to hand over, so as not to worry about her going into labor at that time. Concubine Liang said again.
A hint of surprise flashed in Nian's eyes, but he quickly lowered his eyes. What about stewardship! That's something she hasn't thought about yet! After all, she had just entered the mansion, and if she showed eagerness to take charge of the family's power, it would definitely cause disgust. So in her plan, it's a matter of planning after being favored. I didn't expect Concubine Liang to be a god assist, and she would take the initiative to ask the eighth master to let her share the housekeeper's affairs!
But although she was pleasantly surprised, she looked panicked, uneasy and stunned on her face.
The eighth master really glanced back at her, but soon looked at Concubine Liang, and said with a smile: "E-niang is really thoughtful for Tongtong, for fear that she will be tired, and she will feel more sorry for her son than she feels sorry for her son!" ”
"Don't you feel distressed? Still fighting with her for this? She is now pregnant with an heir, and she is already hard, but E-niang is afraid that you will be careless, so she can't think about it so much. Concubine Liang was amused, and her voice became lighter.
"Yes, E-Niang is right! No wonder Tongtong always thinks about entering the palace to say hello to Eniang! The eighth master also smiled.
"That's goodbye!" Concubine Liang hurriedly said: "The weather is getting colder now, and her body is heavy, so don't go into the palace to toss." I took my heart. ”
"Well, that's what Erchen told her." The eighth master smiled.
"That's exactly how it should be. You have to tell her this now, nothing is more important than her current body. Concubine Liang said.
"Good. When the son went back, he told her. E-Niang rest assured. The eighth master smiled.
It turns out that the eighth master listens to Concubine Liang's words like this! Nian suddenly felt that he had found an entry point! For an obedient and filial man, winning the love of his mother is also another way to compete for favor!
The mother and son talked for a while, Concubine Liang was going to leave the two of them for lunch, but the eighth master glanced at Nian's and said that he slept late yesterday and wanted to go back to rest earlier, so Concubine Liang responded with a smile.
Nian's waited until he got out of Chuxiu Palace, and then realized that the eighth master had used her as a cover! But she didn't even have a cave room last night! Tired what tired!
