The Tale of Genji

"No." Abe Seimei, who was being asked, said with difficulty, with a stiff face, "I don't have such worries, Raiko."

"You won't forget me."

He said firmly.

Regardless of whether it is out of fellowship, his own position, or his necessity to Genji, as long as Minamoto Yorimitsu remains the Genji patriarch and does not worry about the family, he will never be forgotten or ignored.

Minamoto Raimitsu forgot that it is impossible for anyone to forget him Abe Seimei.

"Seimei, it's great that you have such confidence." Minamoto Raimitsu said, as if he was very satisfied, "I will always watch you, Junior Brother."

The young Onmyoji showed a faint smile, like the moonlight falling through the leaves in the forest at night. "May I ask, Laikou... who is your marriage partner?"

"Hime-kun of the Fujiwara family—Momiji Hime." Minamoto Raimiko said.

If you want to say which nobleman is the most powerful now, it is of course the Fujiwara family.

Naturally, there are also many nobles who want to marry the Fujiwara family, so as to get involved with the surname Fujiwara.

Marriage is also one of the most common political means in Heian-kyo's political arena.Once a daughter is born in an aristocratic family in this era, they will treat it as a treasure and raise it carefully, because the only way out for these women is to enter the palace or marry a nobleman, so that they can rely on them for the rest of their lives, and their family's political status can also be guaranteed. be stabilized and improved.

Therefore, all women must learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate their taste, as well as various ways of dealing with others, in order to be perfect, to become the woman everyone dreams of, and to be loved by their husbands—only the girls of the two families are the exception.

Genji is based on the Yin-Yang Dao and is responsible for all matters related to Yamata no Orochi. The girls in the family either become sacrificial priestesses or become purification priestesses who slay demons. Even girls without spiritual power have their own With my own responsibilities, I am naturally different from girls from ordinary noble families.

Besides, Genji's status is noble and his bloodline is extraordinary, and his family dominates in the Yin and Yang Dao—and most of the nobles want to marry Genji's girls—they can only be flattered.

Then there is the Fujiwara family.

It doesn't matter what the girls of the Fujiwara family are, as long as their surname is Fujiwara, then they are the most beautiful and talented women in this Heian capital, and countless people will try their best to please them.

That was the beautiful brilliance brought out by the power of the Fujiwara family.

And now Minamoto Raimitsu is going to marry a girl from the Fujiwara family.

"Is this an alliance?" Guangyuan asked.

"That's right." Minamoto Raimitsu showed him the inside story indifferently, "I helped the Fujiwara family so much, so he naturally had to show the corresponding sincerity. His Majesty also meant the same thing. The Fujiwara family recently The jump is too high, you need to press down."

From several aspects, the eldest lady of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Momiji, was married to Minamoto Raimitsu who is still single.

In this kind of game, the Fujiwara family was suppressed and lost the trust of Emperor Tonghu. Genji married the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family and got real benefits. .

In short, everyone is happy except Fujiwara.

And the only loser, Mr. Fujiwara, Mr. Guangyuan, who happily listened to political stories by Minamoto's side, didn't care about this.

Although he once took over the waka written to him by a girl from the Fujiwara clan, he didn't have a good impression of this family either.What he likes are those beautiful girls, not the old man of Fujiwara Kane's family.

If there is a conflict between Yuan Laiguang and Tonghudi—on the one hand, the father who gives him a strong fatherly love, and on the other hand, the elder brother who shields him from the wind and rain and gives him the greatest sense of security—Guangyuan will hesitate and let his nature Li's weakness and hesitation prevailed, not knowing what to do.But if it was the Fujiwara family, wouldn't it be obvious if they were close?

Guangyuan asked: "Does that brother like that Hongye Ji?"

Minamoto Raimiko thought for a while, and then replied: "I saw it by chance when I went to the Fujiwara family to eliminate demons. It's normal for that demon fox to be planted in her hands-it is indeed extraordinary beauty, although it is still not as good as it is. Fuck you, but it's normal to attract monsters." After the compliment, the conversation suddenly changed, "But she won't live long."

Guangyuan's expression was confused: "Is someone going to kill her?"

"No." Minamoto Raimiko gave the answer, "It's because she doesn't want to live anymore."

"The murderer who killed Hongye Ji was herself."

There are many people in this world, and everyone is different.Everyone in Kyoto is sought after and has a good reputation. Fujiwara Momiji, which is beautiful and praised by countless people, belongs to a very different kind.The noble girl who was pampered and raised doesn't miss this kind of life, she just thinks that the daily life is boring and makes her want to go crazy.

What does she want?No one knows this question, and Fujiwara Momiji, who was asked by Minamoto Raimitsu why he wants to associate with the fox, just replied: Maybe it's freedom.

So if you are willing to leave everything behind, it doesn't matter if you are accompanied by monsters.

Even if she didn't really love that monster, she would be happy as long as she could get out of that dreary place anyway, and she could accept whatever kind of life that greeted her afterwards.

This kind of thinking is completely heresy in the current era, even the Fujiwara and Kane couple who love this daughter deeply will never support her.

The demon fox incident was a desperate attempt by Fujiwara Hongye. The Fujiwara family only thought that their daughter was too beautiful and had a good reputation, so they were entangled by that shameless monster and wanted to take their daughter away, so He spoke frankly in front of Minamoto Raimiko, and didn't think there was anything wrong with his daughter.

But he didn't know that it was the fox demon who was being teased, and Fujiwara Hongye meant to elope.

At first, it was a love interest, and then under the deliberate management of Fujiwara Hongye, it went from the skin to the heart and became an infatuation.

The fox demon gave everything he had to Fujiwara Hongye, whether he was sincere or anything, and kept nothing for himself.Fujiwara Hongye also happily accepted this dedication, and played with this monster in the palm of his hand.

"She is really talented in this respect." Minamoto Raimiko sincerely admired his future wife, "The fox is a shrewd monster, and the fox monster who was deceived by her has countless criminal records. Hongye Ji lives deep in the courtyard. Among them, the first time he made a move, he was able to deceive him into obsession, but he didn't pay anything—"

"It would be great if she was born in my Genji."

There are only two ways to make the monster obedient.

One is absolute force, but it can only make monsters obey.One is love, which can make monsters serve you wholeheartedly.

Fujiwara Momiji is almost self-taught in playing with emotions - if this kind of talent was born in Minamoto Raimitsu, she can play with her casually, as long as she can work for her to complete the task, and the rest is free.However, she was born in the Fujiwara family——

So she wants to kill herself.

Guangyuan has long been accustomed to Minamoto Raimitsu's habit of wanting outstanding talents when he sees them, and he doesn't care about Fujiwara Momiji.If she can live longer, Guangyuanshi will also express some objections: Brother, you have such good conditions, there is no need to marry a girl who is not suitable to be Genji's mistress, it is better to marry another girl who is beautiful inside and outside.

But now the fact is that Fujiwara Momiji is dying, Minamoto Yorimitsu doesn't mind this and still plans to marry her——

Then listen to brother.

Anyway, that Hongye Ji will die soon, there is no way for a dead person to compete with a living person for her elder brother.

When she was still alive, there was no need to do anything more. Minamoto Yorimitsu knew what Fujiwara Koye had done and was still ready to marry someone home. This could only prove that Fujiwara Koye was useful to her.

After all, the theory of true love doesn't work here with Minamoto Raimiko, and Genji doesn't need to rely on Fujiwara at all.

To put it bluntly, it was Fujiwara who lost this time, and it was also Fujiwara who sent his daughter to sue for peace. Fujiwara Momiji was chosen only because her age was closest to Minamoto Yorimitsu.Under this premise, Minamoto Yorimitsu wanted any daughter of Fujiwara's family. Even if she said she wanted to change on the eve of her wedding, Fujiwara's side could only say yes with a smile.

That being the case, Guangyuan decided not to worry about being robbed of his brother with Fujiwara Hongye.

He still has this kind of tolerance.

Mr. Guanghua said so.
