[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

Fortunately, although Tokugawa Yoshimune forcibly took Zhang Zi away, he treated Zhang Zi pretty well.While the women in Ooku were still fighting openly and secretly for the favor of Tokugawa Yoshimune and the three melons in the inner house, Zhang Zi lived in Tokugawa Yoshimune’s Zhongao—this made the women in Ooku almost gnaw their silver teeth. .

But for Zhang Zi, this is not an honor at all, but an insult:

"I don't want to live in Edo Castle! Either arrange a shrine for me! Or, just like those feudal lords, give me a mansion!"

Tokugawa Yoshimune said: "Just you and your maid?"

"That's right!"

"No. What if you are robbed?"

"you!"

"Since I can bring you to Edo, someone will naturally have the same idea and take you away from my nose. Therefore, it is most appropriate for you to stay in Zhongao."

Zhang Zi was so angry that his willow eyebrows stood on end.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Or, what are you expecting me to do to you?"

Zhang Zi grabbed the fan at hand and smashed it.

Seeing Zhang Zi disappearing at the door, one of Tokugawa Yoshimune's confidantes, Norohara Chief Aoki Kunyang, who was ordered to learn Dutch, asked him: "General, why did you anger Saioh?"

"Woman, it's just a lot of things! Where do I have time to listen to her babbling? I just need her to help purify Edo and strengthen the prestige of the shogunate."

That is to say, although Prince Amaterasu is a maiden favored by Amaterasu, for Tokugawa Yoshimune, all he needs is Zhang Zi's ability to purify evil spirits, but he doesn't want the emperor's sister to interfere with their Tokugawa shogunate political affairs.

In fact, Tokugawa Yoshimune himself knows very well that as long as his elders are afraid of death, as long as Zhang Zi has this ability, she will eventually gain power, and what he can do is to control her and consolidate the status and power of the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Okay, let's not talk about her. What's the price of rice in the city now?"

Tokugawa Yoshimune forcibly changed the subject because the Ishitaka system was the foundation of the Tokugawa shogunate, and as the key to the Ishitaka system, rice prices became one of the core contents of his government affairs.Now that the dead air is spreading outside, Tokugawa Yoshimune has to ask about the price of rice at least twice every ten days.

Zhang Zi was very annoyed by Tokugawa Yoshimune, but her maids were very happy.

Because they haven't eaten such delicious white rice for a long time.

When Zhang Zi returned to her room, her maid happily brought out the food prepared for her by the shogunate, saying:

"Your Highness, look, there is white rice."

"Yes, yes, when we were at Ise Shrine, we could only eat sticky rice. When we arrived in Kyoto, we didn't even have sticky rice."

"In that case, coming to Edo is not a bad thing. Isn't it?"

"Hey~!"

Compared with the joy of the maids, Zhang Zi felt very heavy:

"Do you think this is really good?"

Zhang Zi's friend and maid Shang Zi said:

"Your Highness, may I ask, are you worried?"

"Yes. Just left Kyoto..."

"Your Highness, you have to think the same way. You and the emperor are half-brothers and sisters, and the relationship is mediocre. And the matter of purifying evil spirits is not something you can do on your own. Although General Tokugawa was rude first, the Tokugawa shogunate His strength is obvious to all. With his support, more people will benefit, won’t they?”

"That's what he said."

Zhang Zi knew very well how polite Shang Zi's words were, and how watery they were.What kind of relationship is mediocre, is it almost a political enemy!In fact, it has been clearly written in the Tale of Genji, because those who will go to Ise Shrine to be King Sai are basically the princesses and granddaughters who have lost their power.Because I went to Ise Shrine, I couldn’t return to Kyoto without the emperor’s call, and Saio’s resignation, in addition to the emperor’s order, and only when the emperor abdicated and replaced him, Saio would follow abdicate.

However, the maidens of Ise Shrine, including King Saio, are all chastity maidens.

That is to say, Zhang Zi will serve as Saio because she has a bad relationship with Emperor Nakagomon.And now that she is 26 years old, 15 years of youth will be wasted in vain, or because Emperor Nakagomon has no pity for her, and he has been reluctant to call her to resign and return to Beijing!

If it is said that others still place high hopes on her and think that she should be loyal to the emperor, Zhang Zi himself does not have too many ideas.

She is very clear that she is the maiden of Amaterasu Omikami, and after experiencing all kinds of events such as Ise Jingu Saiwang and the caged bird, she now knows better than anyone else that everything about her comes from Amaterasu Omikami she serves.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zi let go.

She ordered: "Let the following prepare. After the meal, I will take a shower and fast."

Then hold a sacred service to serve Amaterasu Omisami.

"Yes."

The maids responded in unison.

As Zhang Zi's maids and former Ise Jingu Miko, they are very clear about their mission.
