Chapter 200 Lonely
"Are you writing a letter?" Eighth Master asked with a smile.

Mao Tongtong said without raising his head, "Just writing a letter!"

"It's like a running account." Ba Ye said.

"That's what makes it interesting!" Mao Tongtong disagreed.

"It's the same when you wrote home last time?" Eighth Master asked again.

"That's right!" Mao Tongtong nodded, "The servant is so far away from home, if I write a few words dryly, if the servant's Ama and Erniang think it's interesting, then it's better not to write!"

"You are too trivial." Ba Ye said.I even wrote down what I ate and drank, except what time I got up and when I went to bed every day, which was convenient several times.

"This is a letter from my servant, do you have any objections?" Mao Tongtong finally couldn't help giving Ba Ye a white look.

"All right, all right, I'm the one to read anyway." Ba Ye walked aside with a smile and took the book and began to read.

The room became quiet for a while, only the sound of green bamboo rubbing ink and the sound of Eighth Master flipping a book could be heard.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Qing Miao lit the candlesticks in the house, only then did Eighth Master realize that Mao Tongtong hadn't finished writing the letter.

"You're writing policy theory!" Ba Ye closed the book and walked to Mao Tongtong's side again.

Looking at the thick bundle of letter paper on the desk that Mao Tongtong had put aside, and seeing that she was still writing vigorously, Ba Ye really admired it.

"The servant has been in the palace for so long, and he wrote a letter home. Of course, he has a lot to say! Some are for Ama, some are for Er Niang, and some are for elder brother."

Speaking of Mao Mingxuan, Mao Tongtong suddenly paused.She forgot that Mao Mingxuan was going to take the imperial examination in the next year, so he must have entered Beijing by now.

Putting down the pen, Mao Tongtong pulled out five pages from the stack of papers he had just written, and crumpled them into a ball.

"What's wrong?" Ba Ye asked.

I was still in high spirits just now, but now I feel sad.

"Brother servant girl should not be in Yangzhou now." Mao Tongtong smiled wryly.

"Prepare for the exam at your uncle's house." Eighth Master said.

Mao Tongtong nodded, "Well, it should be. The Spring Festival is coming in February, and the eldest brother must have gone to Beijing. Even if this letter is sent back to Yangzhou, he will not be able to see it."

"Then it's only for you, Ama Erniang." Eighth Master said.

"Well, the servant girl has finished writing." Mao Tongtong folded the remaining ten pages.

"Your letter is really thick." Ba Ye laughed.

"Can the servant receive the reply?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Yes." Eighth Master nodded.He can send letters, and of course he can bring letters back.

Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye's smiling face, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Ba Ye was stunned by Mao Tongtong's sudden initiative.Seeing Mao Tongtong blushing and whispering: "Thank you, Lord." He then laughed.

Mao Tongtong knew in his heart that this was against the rules.How could she be treated this way if she wasn't relying on Eighth Master to spoil her.

Soon, it will be the Chinese New Year.

The palace began to hold palace banquets and various ceremonies, and lanterns were hung under the eaves.However, for a little princess like Mao Tongtong, the bustle in the palace has nothing to do with them.

Because, with their identities, they can't join in any excitement, so they can only stay honestly in elder brother's office.

Ba Ye would go out early and return late every day, except that he could sleep with Mao Tongtong at night, he couldn't even come back for dinner.

This year, for Mao Tongtong, it seemed particularly deserted.

In previous years in Yangzhou, Chinese New Year was the happiest time for her.There are not only new clothes to wear, but also delicious food. The key is that Ama doesn’t have to run errands, and the family can get together for several days.

At that time, Mao Chengyun would take Mrs. Chen, her and Mao Mingxuan to visit temple fairs and watch lanterns.Not to mention how lively the family is.

Even at Uncle Chen's house last year, it was more lively than in the palace.At any rate, the family can get together for a family reunion dinner.

This was the first time she had dinner alone on New Year's Eve after she came to the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at the table full of dishes, she has no appetite at all.

It is said that the New Year is when you gain weight, but she is still thin.Even the newly made clothes, the waist is a little empty.They thought she was not feeling well because of the green bamboo.

Ba Ye was also very tired every day, so he didn't pay attention.After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, when he was finally free, Ba Ye realized that Mao Tongtong had a bad complexion.

"Are you sick? Let the imperial doctor come and take a look?" Ba Ye said.

It is generally taboo in the palace to invite imperial physicians during the New Year's Eve.So Ba Ye was afraid of Mao Tongtong because of this reason, so he endured the discomfort in his body.

Mao Tongtong shook his head.She thought she was quite cheerful.She can adapt to such a big thing as crossing, so there is nothing wrong with it.

But he didn't expect that one lonely year would defeat her.

"It's okay, I'm just a little homesick." She said sullenly.

She has not received a reply to the letter sent to her family years ago, and she feels even more sad in her heart.

"I heard that the south has been snowing heavily recently. I'm afraid the road is difficult to walk, so the letter will be delayed." Eighth Master said.

"Well, the servant knows. Since the Lord promised the servant, he will definitely be able to bring the letter back." Mao Tongtong said.

"There will be lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will take you out of the palace to have a look." Ba Ye said.

"Slave, can slaves leave the palace?" Mao Tongtong stuttered.

Ba Ye laughed and said: "Of course. If you have Master to take you, it's natural. The Lantern Festival in Beijing is very lively. You can see if it's better than your Yangzhou's."

"Okay!" Mao Tongtong happily replied, the expression on his face changed.

Seeing her, he immediately became happy, and Eighth Master said apologetically, "I've been busy these few days, so I didn't spend time with you."

"It's the servant girl's wild imagination, it's none of my business." Mao Tongtong said.

Ba Ye held her hand, squeezed it and said, "You have been in the palace for too short a time, and you haven't given birth to a son or a half daughter. I'm going to get married this year. I can only ask you to seal the side Fujin for you." Postpone."

Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye in surprise, she didn't expect that Ba Ye would now have the idea of ​​making her a side Fujin.

If she had the status of side Fujin, she would be able to accompany Ba Ye to attend the New Year's Palace banquet.

"You are still taking the medicine for conditioning your body?" Ba Ye asked, "Did the imperial doctor say when to stop?"

"The imperial doctor said that we need to take it for another three months before seeing it again." Mao Tongtong replied.

"It's been half a year since the treatment, why do you have to take it for another three months and watch it again?" Eighth Master frowned.

It is also because Mao Tongtong has been taking medicine that he is currently unable to conceive a child.

"The maidservant is much better now. I didn't feel much when I was young. The imperial physician's medicine is still very effective." Mao Tongtong said.

This disease takes time.Besides, she really doesn't want to be pregnant right now, otherwise, when Di Fujin enters the door, she will definitely be the first to be hated!Properly pierce Fujin's eyes!
