Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Haha!

Yang Nai, who was watching, almost burst out laughing.

She found it very interesting to see Kyosuke Kosaka burying his head in his work.

"Makoto-sama's daughter has finally married into the family. Now everyone can rest easy."

Yang thought to himself.

Although she didn't know what others were thinking, she had often noticed visits from mid-level nobles and was quite clear that some people wanted to become vassals of Kousaka Kyosuke.

If Consort Zhen had married later, there might have been a power struggle, causing turmoil within the household.

Yang Nai definitely didn't want this to happen.

Compared to Shijo Makoto, who clearly has a good reputation and is indeed kind-hearted, Haruno is unwilling to trust anyone else.

She felt quite at ease having Makoto Shijo in charge of the manor's external affairs.

As the head of a conglomerate, his abilities must be considerable.

In addition, they don't interfere much in internal affairs, and they clearly distinguish between rights and obligations, which is very satisfying.

Similarly, one person was quite taken aback.

That is, Qianhua.

Upon seeing that Maki was actually the daughter of the Regent, she couldn't help but wonder if her friend, Kaguya Shinomiya, had also come to this world.

If so, where exactly is it? Does Princess Zhenfei know?

Chika was puzzled and wanted to ask.

But since Consort Zhen had only been there a short time, she obviously didn't have much of a chance to ask, so she could only suppress her doubts.

I thought I'd talk about it another time.

In fact, Chika had no idea how conflicted Maki was.

Having already been asked by Toyomi to conceal the news of Kaguya Shinomiya from Chika, she was extremely uneasy.

Given her position, she naturally had to accept the request.

But I still feel melancholy inside.

She was clearly a decent person, so why was she dragged down to this state by that stupid eldest son?

Sigh, all we can do is hope that God will protect her.

"I don't want to be friends with her... I just feel sorry for her and want to show my concern as a classmate and relative."

Consort Zhen muttered to herself.

Suddenly, she secretly glanced at Kyosuke Kousaka, who was eating at the head of the table.

All thoughts about Kaguya vanished from my mind in an instant, leaving me feeling completely disoriented.

What should she do?

After finishing the meal.

Princess Zhenfei was immediately troubled by another matter.

"One, take a bath together?" In the bath, Zhenfei bit her tongue while speaking, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

"It's okay. If you're shy, just hide to the side. The bath is shaped like a bow, so you can just hide if you're shy."

Chika patiently comforted her.

Maki subconsciously shook her head: "I'm not shy, I'm not shy at all, I'm already Lord Kyosuke's woman..."

The more she talked, the more confused she became. She felt a surge of heat rush to her head, and she felt dizzy.

No, she absolutely cannot faint and scare the others!

"What powerful spirit and awareness!"

Su Chang looked on with admiration.

Komachi nodded admiringly, "I wish I could be like Lady Maki."

In fact, Komachi had come to her senses.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't have that kind of courage.

Meng Ye chuckled and said, "I admire you so much too..."

Why did I see fear and shame? Did she misread it?

No, I need to take a closer look.

Xiangzi smiled and didn't try to persuade her. "She's still a young girl. It's too difficult for her to be completely honest with someone she's just met."

She now understood why Kyosuke Kousaka had been so enthusiastic about building bathhouses.

When the bathhouse was built, it was naturally designed for one-person bathing in order to save hot water. Knowing that some people were shy, it was specially designed with a flat "U" shape.

So considerate.

Fujishikibu was not surprised at all.

She was a little nervous when she first came here, but now she doesn't feel anything.

In fact, many of their partners had already guessed Kyosuke Kosaka's intention to build the bathhouse, and they all pretended not to understand.

They were, after all, an "old married couple," so they didn't bother with such a slightly malicious little thing.

While rubbing Megumi's back, Kousaka Kyosuke didn't pay much attention to what was happening with Maki.

The main problem is that caring about it won't make a difference.

Just do it.

Not doing it is definitely not an option, so let's do it!

He wouldn't dwell on such a simple principle at all.

At most, I'm just a little embarrassed.

Time flew by, and it was time to finish the bath.

Kousaka Kyosuke entered the bright red, festively decorated new room with Maki.

The room belongs to Princess Zhenfei.

Today and tomorrow are being used for the new house, but as for the day after tomorrow, Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't know if he'll be able to make it.

After all, he had taken the initiative to invite Fujiwara Yukinari, Fujiwara Michitsuna, and the others over, so he couldn't just have a few drinks with them and then come back, could he?

One should still have some self-respect.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

Isn't this a basic principle of being a human being?

A lot came to mind at once, but Kousaka Kyosuke didn't know what to say to Maki.

Calm and confident? Not a chance!

Especially after learning that Zhenfei was a famous "loser," a "loser" who left a deep impression on him.

If I feel that I've gone a little too far in my treatment, and Princess Zhenfei cries, that would be very bad.

"I look forward to your guidance from now on."

Regardless, Kyosuke Kousaka took the initiative first.

Isn't it too much to let a woman go first? He still has some self-awareness.

Moreover, what he needs to do next is something he's a bit more concerned about.

"You're too kind. I hope you'll take good care of me for the rest of my life."

Consort Zhen, who was still thinking of taking the initiative, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed.

"Let's sit down and talk."

"Okay, Kyosuke-sama."

"Come……"

Kousaka Kyosuke deliberately supported the real concubine.

Sensing this, Maki slowed down her sitting pace and allowed Kousaka Kyosuke to help her sit down.

Try not to let your body become stiff, so that Kyosuke Kosaka will notice.

“I don’t have many rules here. As you just saw, there’s no obstacle for other people who want to do their own thing. I hope you can gradually adapt to that.”

"I understand, Lord Kyosuke."

The seated Consort Zhen immediately spoke.

Because of Chika's constant explanations, she quickly understood Kousaka Kyosuke's attitude towards his spouse.

That is to let things slide.

Furthermore, he would also spend time with her every one or two days, making him a super qualified husband.
