Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 939

Because he lived near the sleeping quarters, he was able to run into Kousaka Kyosuke's concubines from time to time.

It's only natural to see their radiant spirit... that kind of beautiful happiness can't be faked.

"Keep it up! I won't say much this time; I need to apologize for my previous interference..."

"No need for that. I was the one who asked for help back then. Don't apologize, or I'll never have the nerve to ask for help again."

Shijo Tei hurriedly said to Ayanokouji, who was bowing his head in apology.

Frankly speaking, all the mistakes were my own fault.

If you then blame others, it just makes you look pathetic and incompetent.

"When it comes to matters of the heart, we're all just half-baked, hahaha..." Hachiman laughed to himself as he spoke.

Ayanokouji looked at him with a complicated expression: "Hachi, you actually need to adjust your mindset as well."

Looking at his other companions, Horikita Manabu felt a little tired.

Hey~

Having already helped Shizuko, Komachi looked at her brother in the distance with a helpless expression.

"My brother must have brought up some self-harming stuff again, and then he found it funny and started laughing, without realizing how embarrassed the people around him were."

Horikita Suzune pondered, "This method of finding joy in oneself might be a good way to adjust one's state."

Shizuko nodded: "Yes, yes, I even envy your brother, Komachi. My brother is really just a robot, and it's so boring to spend too much time with him..."

What's most despicable is that she imitates her own husband!

Seriously, Shizuko really wants to smash Ayanokouji's head in!

"Actually, my brother was too calm..."

Seeing everyone talking about her brother's shortcomings, Horikita Suzune realized what was happening and quickly joined the group.

As a result, everything here was harmonious.

Noon time.

Seeing that Shizuko had come to him and seemed to have something to say, Kousaka Kyosuke quickly put her in his arms before speaking.

Su Chang, who was resting on the side like Kagura, chuckled and said, "Look, Shizuko, how much Kyosuke-sama dotes on you."

"Uh……"

"That's right! I'm going to spoil Shizuko!"

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his voice to announce.

Shizuko, who was lying in Kousaka Kyosuke's arms and almost fell asleep, rolled her eyes.

"Lord Kyosuke, please do what you have planned. You've already been with me, so please give me a break."

"I thought you missed me."

"I've been thinking about this for a while, but I'm here this time just to put in a good word for you."

After adjusting her posture slightly, Shizuko comfortably squinted her eyes and began to speak.

Although the warm thing behind her made her a little uncomfortable, she found it quite nice after getting used to it.

"What are you saying? Could it be that your brother has finally come to his senses and wants me to introduce him to some rich young lady?"

"No, it's about Lord Mikado. He has some questions he wants to ask you, and I just happened to be passing by and agreed to pass on his message to my brother."

"Is that so? Then I'll sit here for fifteen minutes and then go out. You can keep me company."

"Ah."

boo~

A warm breath reached her ear, and Shizuko tilted her head slightly, soon enveloped in an even more familiar warmth.

Su Chang stared intently, then whispered to Kagura, "Shizuko used to be super shy, but now she's so skilled she can rival me."

Kagura nodded her little head and observed carefully.

"This should be called practice makes perfect."

Just like her.

He was able to skillfully grasp the most crucial position of Kousaka Kyosuke with one hand.

Kyosuke Kosaka liked it when she stroked him from the front and back or rubbed against him...

“That’s right, practice makes perfect!” Su Chang replied quickly, her mind flashing through images of her taking off her clothes and entwining with Kousaka Kyosuke in the blink of an eye.

She still remembers that process very clearly; it was all so harmonious that there wasn't a single thing that felt out of place.

It was pretty much the same just now.

It seems she might be the most skilled one~

Before she knew it, Su Chang had become proud.

A quarter of an hour later.

Kyosuke Kosaka was saying goodbye to Kagura, Susa, and Shizuko, and naturally, he had to say goodbye in a rather sentimental way.

He then left feeling refreshed.

"Wow, I feel so much more energetic!" After Kyosuke Kosaka left, Su Chang couldn't help but look at herself in amazement.

Jingzi complained, "Madam Sushang, is it possible for you to always be full of energy as long as you are filled with desire energy?"

"It's better than you, always acting like you're going to die, but afterwards you're no different from me."

"...Everyone does it this way."

"Because it feels so good!"

Su Chang looked radiant.

Shizuko continued to mutter to herself, "Only you dare to speak your desires so frankly..."

She glanced at Kagura without realizing it and found that Kagura was still dizzy, so she was too weak to say anything more.

She continued doing farm work with Chitanda.

the other side.

Kyosuke Kousaka found Emperor Shijo.

The two were standing in front of the pond at the Fishing Hall when Kyosuke Kosaka took the initiative to ask him something.

"Is there a problem? Just say it directly, there's no need to act like a daughter."

"...Kyosuke-sama, I want to ask about matters of the heart, something rather personal."

"You don't know how to get along with your wife? That's simple, just coax her a bit more. I heard your wife has a very good temper, so what kind of emotional problem is this?"

"She does have a very good temper, almost too good... but she's too young—at least in my eyes—I really don't know how to approach her..."

"Oh, so that's the problem."

Kousaka Kyosuke feigned composure, but was completely bewildered.

It turns out that Shijou Tei also had a similar situation to him.

Speaking of which, Shijou Tei was even more unlucky, as his wife was only 12 years old when she first started wearing clothes.

Even Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't bring himself to do it.

I remember that Akiko, who entered the palace, was also 12 years old, but that wasn't her actual age; she was surprisingly young.

If the Taoist priest hadn't become the Guanbai (a high-ranking official in charge of official duties), the group would have started gossiping. Even so, whispering among themselves was inevitable.

The thick-skinned Taoist priest would definitely pretend not to hear.

After all, if Fujiwara no Teishi had given birth to an heir for Emperor Ichijō, the Taoist priest would probably still be doomed.

There was a very simple and blunt principle in the Heian period: "A good regent is one who is not the emperor's maternal grandfather."

The most typical example is a certain nominal regent of the Fujiwara Hokuke family, who had no status as a maternal relative, and whose family power declined after his death. This is a good example.

Given the precedent, it's not hard to understand why the Taoist priest would take the risk of sending Akiko, who was not even old enough to wear a robe, to the palace.

But I digress. Let's get back to the main point.

Shijou Tei didn't want to harm his young wife, so he wanted to ask him for help.

"You're asking me this kind of question... What do you take me for, some kind of idle person?"

Kyosuke Kosaka muttered something to himself, but didn't show any emotion on his face.

He also understands.

Shijo Tei's willingness to ask for his help shows that he trusts him, so he shouldn't show any negative emotions.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't have much to say about this.

In his opinion, Emperor Shijo's sister, Maki, was a good woman, and it was only right to help her out of respect for her.

"That's simple. Just make more physical contact with her, don't show any resistance, and tell her that she can have a safe childbirth when she's older. Then there shouldn't be any problems..."

"Eh?"
