Hanamaru Shrine under construction

When Boya came back from the Major General's Mansion, Prince Keming had already completed the tasks assigned by the palace, and was leaning tiredly on his ribs, letting his wife massage his shoulders.Holding the wind talisman in his hand, Boya didn't notice his parents inside the tent, he hurried past them and went straight to his sister's den.Prince Keming, who was ignored, had blue veins popping out of his head. He sat up, held his wife's hand, and reprimanded him, "Bo Ya! Be a man who is upright, self-restraining, mature and stable. Look at what you look like now, like a wild monkey." !"

"Father, you are back, I'm sorry I didn't notice." Boya hurriedly slid his legs and slid on the floor for two meters before stopping. He saluted his parents and waved his hand, "I won't tell you, I have an urgent matter to find Kagura, is she awake? It doesn't matter if she doesn't..." After speaking, he lifted the wall and walked to his sister.

Such an impatient look made Prince Keming angry again.

Hiroya's mother is the daughter of Tokihei Fujiwara. According to the correct history, she is the sister of Mr. Fujiwara's wife and her grandmother, but in this era of chaotic time, the two families are only relatives.The concubine has a huge family and is also a well-connected family. The Queen's Palace and the East Palace are both sisters of her family. Fujiwara Tokihei is very strict with her daughter's upbringing, so this concubine is also well-known for her knowledge and understanding.Seeing her son now, the princess is also very distressed, she and the prince are both honest and well-behaved people, why did they give birth to such a deviant son as Boya.

Hearing that Boya said that she was going to find Kagura, the princess didn't care about her husband at this moment. She immediately left Prince Keming aside, hurried into the tent, and said, "Boya, don't tease your sister. I can’t play with you, what if I get caught in the wind.” When she entered the door, she saw her son taking off her daughter’s clothes, and she didn’t know what was stuffed inside.

Looking at his mother, Boya withdrew his hand and helped his sister cover the thin quilt again, saying, "I'm not making trouble, mother, this is the guardian amulet given by Yu Ji."

Hearing this explanation, the princess was relieved, but turned her head and changed her face again, covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Bo Ya, how can you call women by their names directly!" Palely said, "Did I be too negligent to raise you so rude!"

In the Heian period, it was taboo to call a woman by her first name, and everyone called her by her house name, or the official name of her father, brother, or husband.

Scratching his head, Boya thought he was careless, and hurriedly corrected, "I was wrong, mother, don't be angry." Yu Ji herself didn't care, and she probably wouldn't respond to calling her by another name.

"It's good if you know your mistakes, and you can't be so rude in the future." The mother is soft-hearted towards her son, and the princess is the same. Seeing that Boya has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, she doesn't criticize him too much. Finding the wind talisman, he said, "That Ji Jun is also interested, you have to write down this kindness." Compared with the half-knowledgeable Boya, the princess knows more, and now the believers of Yamata no Orochi are still hiding in the The imperial family didn't disappear because of the emperor's prohibition, they hid very deeply, and she didn't know if there were people who believed in snake gods around her.

Prince Kemei is getting closer to Mr. Fujiwara now, and he also knows that although this maiden is young, she is favored by the gods. Regardless of whether this wind talisman is used or not, the more means available to protect her daughter, the better.Besides, there are not many noble ladies with spiritual power in the capital, and this Ji Jun herself is also the target of the snake god, so she still wants to protect Kagura, no wonder she can get the approval of the gods.

Different from the nervousness of the prince and concubine, Prince Keming obviously didn't think that anyone could reach out to his home. He thought the nervousness of his wife and son was unnecessary. , there were some rumors before..." He looked at his wife thoughtfully.

Knowing that her husband is worried that the person who promotes the rumors also has himself, after all, their interests are connected now, and she is afraid that there will be a gap because of this. She just listened to Ji's rumors. If the major general is really related to Ibaraki Doji, how can he serve in front of the Holy Lord.

"I was stupid." Prince Keming hurriedly apologized for doubting his wife. Seeing that the princess was not really angry, he looked at Rare's son who took the initiative to mention women, and joked, "Bo Ya has also reached the age to hold Yuanfu ceremony. Do you have a woman you like?"

There is no hard and fast rule on the time of Yuanfu in this era, but Prince Keming didn't want Boya to enter the power center too early, so he planned to delay it on the grounds that it would not be an auspicious day.

Although the coming-of-age ceremony is to be postponed, boys will always have some thoughts when they grow up.After all, it was popular in the Heian era to get married on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, which is called extra bedtime. At this time, the bride chosen will be a few years older than the groom, usually 12 years old for men and 16 years old for women.

Hearing his father's question, Boya, who had been teasing his younger sister, raised his head, thought seriously for a long time, shook his head and said, "No, there is no one in Heian-kyo who can fight except Inari Miko, and he is not worthy to be my opponent at all." The daughter of the master's family is too young, but [Miss Luan] beside her looks quite strong.

Prince Keming "..."

The princess "..."

Who is this unlucky kid like?

...

After the Major General's Mansion sent Boya away, Lai Guang, who received a letter from He Maozhongxing, went out with Xianyu. She sat in the bullock cart as usual, and Zong Sanzuowen followed on horseback.No one knew where the Time Traveling Army was hiding, so just in case, Fu Sangshen was arranged to accompany him on the way to He Mao's house.The number of escorts was determined by Tsurumaru's proposal to draw lots, and the final winner was Zongzo, who took care of his younger brother with peace of mind after arriving, and never competed, snatched, or cooperated in making troubles.

The pink-haired Fu Sangshen took off his cassock and put on the samurai water dry that is common in Heian-kyo, which made him sharpen his previous decadent temperament.Even though Zongsan never said it outright, Xianyu still noticed sensitively that he was extra cautious when he got the escort mission. This ordinary trip made him nervous as if he was on the battlefield, and even the knuckles holding the rein were white.

This time, it was not the sword or the token of the lord of the world who acted this time, but Zong San Zuowen himself.

Reminiscent of everyone's expressions when they went out, Xianyu couldn't help but wonder at this moment, is this lottery really lucky?

The road from Major General's Mansion to He Mao's house was not too far, but the speed of the ox cart was painful, and when Xianyu was about to fall asleep, Laiguang's reminder came from outside.She rubbed her eyes and got off the bullock cart, Zong San also turned over and got off the horse, watching her wobbled down, and even reached out to give her a hand.When she raised her head to thank her, Zong San had already looked away.

He Mao Zhongxing was waiting at the door at the moment, and when he saw Laiguang coming, he didn't intend to go over to greet him, and Laiguang didn't mind his friend's awkwardness, so he walked over with Xianyu and said, "Zhongxing, these two days Yuji I just ask you to take care of it." After speaking, he whispered, "Let your sister be gentle, and don't scare my daughter."

The corner of the mouth covered by the fan drew a dangerous arc, and He Maozhong smiled sinisterly, "Do you want to curse for a few more days?"

Raiko quickly shut up.

After getting a satisfactory result, He Mao Zhongxing lowered his head to look at Yu Ji. Facing the young disciple, the coldness on his face eased slightly, and he nodded slightly, "Yu Ji, don't worry, Wenzi will take good care of you. Her temper Although it's not soft, it's not as vicious as the rumors say, and it won't treat you harshly because you have a nasty father."

"Hey Tadayaki..." Laiguang was dissatisfied.

"Shut up." Yan Ling Bin.

"!!!" Xianyu was shocked, when this trick was successful just once? !

Seeing Xianyu's skeptical expression on life, He Maozhongxing knew what she was thinking. It seems that Qingming is not the only one who is not good at this basic yin and yang technique. In the backyard, you go directly to her, there are other witches at home, and it is inconvenient for Laiguang and I to go there."

Laikou looked at his daughter worriedly, it was really not a coincidence.

Xianyu was still a little nervous when he was at the mansion, but now he has relaxed and said, "Father, I'm going." As she said that, she entered the courtyard of He Mao's house alone. She had lived here for a while, and she was no stranger to it.Zong San on the side thought for a moment, then stepped up to follow Xianyu's footsteps, and explained, "I'll take you to the yard and leave."

"Okay." Xianyu replied.

The entire He Mao's house was re-divided by He Mao Zhongxing with Yin-Yang techniques. Although it looks like an ordinary courtyard from the outside, the inside is like entering another world. The space created by the barrier is closely connected with the present world. If Xianyu hadn't lived there for a while, Couldn't find the way to the backyard at all.She took Zongsan directly through the bamboo forest and approached the path, and told him how to leave by the way, but when Xianyu and Zongsan left from the bamboo forest, they unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

That was the princess Kotoko of Daisuke Shikibe's family, and she was following a woman in good spirits right now.

Xianyu stopped and looked across the flower bed at the two people opposite. Zong San was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.

"Qinzi, you have to hold this talisman carefully. It can drive away monsters. You heard what the witch said just now. You have a feminine physique and are easy to attract monsters. In the future, don't casually get acquainted with strange men. Like the one you met before The fox demon is not a kind monster, but luckily Master Qingguang rescued him."

The woman's persuasion Qinzi obviously dismissed it, she said, "Mother, you are so noisy, have I never had any accidents when I grow up, I make a big fuss..."

The mother and daughter quarreled and left, but Xianyu never looked back. She pursed her lower lip, lowered her head and held her cuffed clothes.

"..."

Zong San raised his hand and lightly touched Xian Yu's hair. When she looked up in surprise, she saw him suddenly holding her hand, looking straight ahead and saying, "Let's go."

Xianyu looked at the hand being pulled, and the sourness in his heart just now seemed to have disappeared.

...

In the backyard of Kamo's house, Fumiko saw off Daisuke Shikibe's mother and daughter who came to ask for the talisman. She pulled down the curtain and looked at another priestess inside the house.

It was an elderly woman with gray hair. She was wearing a simple single dress and her long hair was tied up with hemp rope, just like an ordinary village woman. The air currents in the world did not dare to bully them.She closed her eyes slightly, and only opened them when Xianyu stepped into the backyard.

Wenzi respected this elderly priestess very much. She said, "You have been waiting for a guest, Lord of Northern Ise... Master Tado Miko."
