The Tale of Genji

Speaking of marriage.

"I am not the only one who is going to get married recently." Minamoto Laiguang said, "Minister Zuo told me last time that he wanted to marry his daughter Kui Ji to you. When I entered the palace the day before yesterday, Your Majesty also had the same intention .”

Guangyuan's only said: "I heard that the Queen of Honghui Palace also likes Kui Ji very much."

"What's the use if she likes it?" Minamoto Raimiko asked back.

Isn't the relationship between men and women in Heian-kyo messy enough?Kui Ji is four years older than Yuan Shi, and she was originally scheduled to be the crown prince's concubine... Are these problems?The daughter of the Honghui Palace was surnamed Fujiwara, and the right minister Fujiwara Kane was of the same family as her. Emperor Tonghu would never agree to let the daughter of the left minister marry her son.

Yuan Laiguang's right to decide on marriage is not in the hands of the Honghui Palace Nuyu at all, even if she wants to marry Guang Yuan a wife of status... In this matter, Yuan Laiguang has more decision-making power than her.

After all, she is Guangyuan's protector, and while granting him shelter, she also has the right to decide on his choice.

But for the sake of Emperor Tonghu's power, Minamoto decided not to get involved in this matter.After all, Emperor Tonghu is full of paternal love for Guangyuanshi, and he will definitely find him a beautiful girl of noble birth as his wife-Kuiji fits this standard very well.

Now as long as Guangyuan has no objection, Kui Ji will be his wife.

Minister Zuo, who has always liked Genji more, will happily marry his daughter.

"It's all up to your will, Light."

"If you think this marriage is good, then Kui Ji will be your wife. If you don't like it, then either Your Majesty or I will find a better woman than Kui Ji to be your wife. .”

"Will it be more beautiful?" the honest Yan Kong Guangyuan asked.

Minamoto Raimitsu: "... yes." Although Aoihime is indeed beautiful, it doesn't mean that there is no one more beautiful than her.Apart from other things, if you just look at the appearance, Minamoto Raimitsu has never seen anyone more beautiful than Guangyuan.

Fujiwara Hongye is also considered a standard line, her beauty is really a bit too much.

Junior brother...ah, junior brother forget it.Although Abe Seimei is indeed very beautiful, the son of the white fox who inherited the beauty of his mother, the white fox Ge Ye, is the dream of women in the entire Heian capital, and wants to have a good night with him regardless of the girl's backs—but the half-demon is not a human being at all. How can it be counted in it?

"Pfft...you don't need to worry, brother." Guangyuanshi let out a short chuckle as if he couldn't suppress it.He is always very relaxed when he is around Minamoto, like a real child, happily enjoying the privileges of being a young person and the care and love from the elders. "I have no objection to the marriage."

Marry who is not married, Guangyuan has no dissatisfaction with having Minister Zuo's beloved daughter as his wife.

What's more, this is the candidate who is valued by the Queen of Honghui Palace - although he lost his mother when he was very young, and the mother he often sees in his dreams is just his own fantasy, but this does not prevent Guangyuan's love for that always The female imperial court of Honghui Palace who was targeting him had extremely poor senses-if she could be unhappy, Guangyuanshi was very happy.

"Kui Ji comes from a noble family and has a good reputation in Beijing. I don't have any dissatisfaction with having such a girl as my wife."

Minamoto Raimitsu asked him, "Is it the truth?"

Guangyuan said frankly: "Naturally it is the truth - I really can't think of a reason to refuse."

Yuan Laiguang said: "Don't regret after getting married."

Guangyuan really showed a pensive look: "But there are so many beautiful and lovely girls in the world... just like Kagura, I want to treat them better and care about them more, it's also a normal thing ?”

Minamoto Raimitsu: ...You still say it!

If I hadn't separated you from Kagura before, believe it or not, the one who said to marry you now is Kagura! !

When the time comes, see if Boya's sister-in-law will beat you to death! ! !

Guangyuan felt aggrieved: "Is this my fault, brother?" He just habitually treats girls more tenderly and caringly...it's not what he wants to be liked.

Like those waka songs he received... well, Kagura is different from the girls outside, but how did he know that things would turn out like this?

He is obviously just like Yuan Boya, taking care of Kagura as a younger sister!

"Yes, yes, it's not your problem... Forget it." Minamoto Raimitsu also has nothing to do with Guangguang, this child is really obedient and obedient, and he can quickly understand it by inference in class. It's really difficult for such a good student Let her not be more partial.Besides, it's not his fault, and he's not promiscuous...that is to say, how flirtatious a ten-year-old can be.

When I grow up...that's a matter of the future.

Minamoto Yorimitsu doesn't want to waste time thinking about this kind of thing that hasn't happened yet, and to put it bluntly, this is also Guangyuan's personal matter. After getting into trouble, verbally say a few words to him and tell him to restrain himself—this will be the case with the affairs of the Liujo Xiyu Palace in the future. Grind back on top.

But this is all in the future. Right now, Guangyuan is still a child who listens to stories next to her-although the stories are a bit dark, they can be regarded as early political field textbooks.Minamoto Raimitsu rubbed his hair and said to him, "Your Majesty wants to hold a Yuanfu ceremony for you when you are 12 years old."

Guangyuan's first reaction to this was: "Am I going to get married in the future?"

"Forget Kuihime for now." Minamoto Raimiko said, "If you're really so curious, after the marriage is settled, I will arrange for you to meet?"

Guangyuan's resolutely rejected the proposal: "I don't want to bother you, brother." He raised his face, and his smiling face was really innocent, lovely, pure and moving. "I'll see you sooner or later. I'm not in a hurry. Compared to Kui Ji, I think the time spent with my brother is more precious."

These words sounded too sweet, but Minamoto Raimitsu was used to it.

Probably... this is Guangyuan's nature.

Sweet words are easy to come by, as long as he wants to make people happy, there is no time when he can't succeed.

But, "Even so, you can't escape the afternoon banquet."

Yuan Laiguang said.

Speaking of which, they are considered to be of the same generation, but Minamoto Laiguang is relatively precocious in psychology, and Guangyuan is a full 12 years younger than her, so in fact she raised him as a son—of course, younger than Minamoto Laiguang Yuan Boya, who is eight years old, is also treated in the same way.

He is said to be a younger brother, but in fact he is a son.

In this era, daughters need to be carefully cultivated and married to expand their sphere of influence or alliances after they grow up, while sons are used to inherit the family business.Minamoto Raimitsu claims to be a fair person, and she will never be overly partial to her two sons. In fact, she clearly divides the category between Minamoto and Minamoto Boya——

Yuan Boya has spiritual power and outstanding martial arts, and she will be her heir in the field of Yin and Yang in the future.

Guang Yuanshi has no spiritual power but has a noble status and full of political talent, so he will be a mess in the officialdom in the future.

Yuan Laiguang planned different development routes for his two sons (not) and trained them differently.

Yuan Boya threw him in the group of onmyojis, let them get along, and let him go to practice in the mountains from time to time, and then took a test to check his progress after returning, and he did not miss his cultural practice while repeating this cycle.

The Encyclopedia of Monsters must be memorized, and the necessary skills of onmyojis such as drawing symbols must also be passed. In addition, Genji's connections in the Onmyodo are gradually opening up to him, and Yuan Boya is also familiar with those affiliated forces. .The task of eliminating demons must also be done.All in all, the 14-year-old Yuan Boya is so busy that he even has to cut back a lot of time with Kagura.

However, Guangyuan, who takes the political line, is different. What he wants to learn are the romantic, calligraphy and poetry, flower appreciation and spices, waka painting and other skills that will be used in the aristocratic exchanges. Most of the aristocrats usually interact.

This is also reflected in other ways.

For example, when Raimiko Minamoto goes out, if he wants to meet someone from the Yin and Yang Dao, he will decide whether to take Minamoto Boya with him depending on the situation.If it is an aristocratic gathering with political implications, they will consider whether to bring Guangyuan according to the arrangement of Guangyuan's homework.

Cough, although from a certain point of view this can be regarded as a show - in order to show Emperor Tonghu that Genji really didn't abuse his son, on the contrary, he raised his son well, you choose a protector for your son There's nothing wrong with the choice—but it's also true that Minamoto Yorimitsu wanted to cultivate Minamoto.

That is to say, could it be because of this that Emperor Tonghu hated her so much?

I'm really sorry for stealing your son.
