Heiankyo love story

Zhenhua Festival came as scheduled. This festival was scheduled to be held at night. During the day, just after dawn, an ox cart from Ouchi came to Fujiwara's house to pick up Jiang Xue. It's like going to a festival.Although Dingzi Zhonggong's worries were a bit excessive, they were not unreasonable.

In the afternoon, when Akane Yuangong was served by Fujihime and put on a formal dress, she really panicked, and she subconsciously grabbed Fujiji and asked, "Where did Xue go?"

Fujiki replied with a smile: "Sister Xue went to Ouchi early in the morning. Nakamiya misses Sister Xue very much."

"Nakamiya...is Fujiwara Dadako..." Akane Motomiya muttered to herself, as if realizing something, "Yes, Yuki once said that Dingzi Nakamiya was very kind to her. It is said that even the sachet is from Nakamiya It's made, it really smells good."

Fujihime's complexion changed slightly when she heard the words, but she concealed her displeasure very well, and kept smiling humbly in front of Miko and said: "The incense recipes of the Fujiwara family are slightly different from other places, even if the same incense recipes are in Different people may also make slight adjustments. Dingzi Zhonggong once received the guidance of Zhaiyuan, and has unique skills in the preparation of black squares. Although the vine is not as good as Dingzi Zhonggong, if the god likes it, the vine can burn the incense in the house. Change to black."

Although Akane Yuangong is slow, she is not stupid, and Fujihime would ask her every day if she changed the incense. She said she liked the "plum blossom" she used now and kept it all the time. Hearing Fujihime's question, she was anxious He shook his head again and again.

"No, that's not what I meant—the scent of plum blossoms is also very good! I just think... the incense used by Xue is very suitable for her. In my case... I still prefer plum blossoms."

Fujihime's heart relaxed, and a gurgling warm current came up from the bottom of his heart, and his expression changed, becoming softer and more happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Plum blossom is the most commonly used incense in spring. It is full of vitality and is very suitable for His Highness Shenzi. Black Fang incense is mostly used in winter. It is calm and elegant. Sister Xue likes it, so she has been using it all the time. I also like Black Fang the most."

"Hey?! Is there a seasonal limit for incense?"

Yuan Gongqian was at a loss, and felt as if she was back in the examination room. When she saw that the papers were full of unfamiliar questions, she panicked.

Fujihime looked at Akane Yuangong silently for a moment, held back her smile, and continued to help her straighten her wig, then said with a light smile: "That's natural. As a nobleman, everything should correspond to the four seasons, not just incense. The color of the clothes should also be changed. The 'Limei' worn by His Highness Shenzi today is the color of the spring clothes. If you wear the wrong clothes, you will be ridiculed."

It really is a great noble——!

Yuan Gongqian was almost dripping with cold sweat, and deeply felt that she was about to fail in ancient history.

"But, but, I'm not a nobleman?"

Fujihime straightened his face immediately, and said seriously: "Please take back this sentence, Your Highness Miko. You are the Miko of the Dragon God, a distinguished guest of the Fujiwara family, please show your self-consciousness as a nobleman. I will not indulge Your Highness Miko like Sister Yuki .”

Yuan Gongqian was scolded by the elementary school students, and she was so weak that she could only weakly call her lovely Xue Xuemei to come back soon.

The life of an aristocrat...is really not a human life!

Yuan Gongqian couldn't bear the momentum of Fujihime who became serious, so she could only bow her head and say: "...Yes."

Fujihime smiled for a moment, and then sighed with some distress.

"Oh... it would be great if Sister Xue listened to persuasion like this."

Hey? ? ?

Yuan Gongqian's ears were pricked up. Just now, she thought to herself that Xuexue's ability to adapt to these ancient rules is amazing. After hearing this, Xuexue didn't listen to this elementary school student at all? !

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Xue Xuemei has never seen her wearing a kimono, let alone a kimono. They are all dressed in the country on the other side of the sea!

Yuan Gongqian asked tentatively: "Xue...it seems that she rarely wears a dress?"

Fujiki pondered for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

"Because it's not necessary. If Sister Xue likes it, you can wear twelve single clothes at home, or just a small gown... But if Sister Xue doesn't like it, it's okay to wear Tang suits. As for formal dresses, if you need to wear On occasions where there is a dress, Sister Xue will also wear a dress, not everyone is worthy of Sister Xue wearing a dress to meet."

ok, ok...

Akane Yuangong was defeated by Fujihime's words.

That is to say, most people don't deserve Xue Xuemei to wear a dress at all. What a proud way to say it.

But when you think about it, it seems that she didn't usually see Xue Xuemei dressed so grandly. When she went to see Mr. Qingming, she specially put on twelve singles. Xue Xuemei was still in her original outfit. I wore it once and it was particularly gorgeous.

When the two met for the first time, Xue Xuemei's dress was very gorgeous, it was Datang's dress, right?

So, this means...Xue Xuemei thinks she is someone who deserves to be greeted with costumes?

Although Yuan Gongqian knew that Jiang Xue was only welcoming the "God Son of the Dragon God", but when the "God Son of the Dragon God" was herself, she still inevitably felt a touch of being valued.

Fuji Jizai looked at Akane Yuangong carefully, and was relieved to be sure that she would not be called rude in any way now.

"Today's ceremony... please rest assured, His Royal Highness, Dragon God and Eight Leaf will definitely protect you."

Yuan Gongqian took it for granted that this was a festival for viewing flowers, and said with a smile: "Yes! Isn't Fujihime going to the festival together?"

Fujihime shook her head slightly, feeling a little guilty in her heart, but she still kept silent about the truth about the "Flower Festival".

"My identity is not enough to participate. I will pray for His Royal Highness Son of God here."

In this way, Yuan Gongqian waited for the ceremony with full expectation in a state of ignorance, and several other people also had their own thoughts because of this festival.

Abe Yasuaki received the order from Onmyouryo, threw away the letter with a blank expression, and went straight to the place where the festival was held.

Ma Cang Ye Wang took the initiative to take over the task of protecting the nobleman, waiting for the letter from the Major General Tachibana Youya of Zuo Jinwei Mansion who was also responsible for protecting the son of God.

In the cold palace, Dingzi Zhonggong held Jiang Xue's hand, hesitated to speak several times, and finally made up his mind, the struggle between expressions disappeared, leaving only a firm smile.

"Sister Xue, this time...it's all my idea. I can't imagine what would happen if Xue Ji was injured during the Zhenhua Festival...I can't take the risk of losing you...It doesn't matter if you are called mean, if the dragon If Son of God wants to resent, if Dragon God wants to punish, blame it all on me!"

Jiang Xue couldn't help being taken aback.

She was wondering what was going on in the harem, and wondered if there were any new changes in the harem, thinking that before Zhangzi entered the palace, no matter how stupid these women in the harem were, they should know that it was time to live in peace, otherwise they would come out now , only to be hit by Mr. Fujiwara—how could he allow someone to be favored by the Emperor before Zhang Zi entered the palace?

After arguing for a long time, Dingzi Zhonggong is actually struggling with this kind of thing!

Dingzi Zhonggong felt very seriously that such an action might offend the gods, and he was really ready to meet the gods' punishment.

Although this kind of thinking is absurd and ridiculous, it is impossible not to be moved by such a heart.

Jiang Xue was in a complicated mood, she laughed unknowingly, and subconsciously made her voice more gentle.

"Please rest assured, Sister Dingzi... Dragon God and Shenzi will never blame you for this. Even if you really want to blame, then you should blame me for running away. Sister Dingzi just gave me an excuse. I was timid and couldn't do it. Carry out the mission of the Star Clan and firmly follow the Son of God, so there is no need for Sister Stingzi to do so."

Dingzi Zhonggong did not let go of the burden in his heart, but looked at Jiang Xue with sad eyes for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xue, if I am no longer Zhonggong...would you still want to see me?"

Jiang Xue said without hesitation: "From the beginning, I came to see sister Dingzi, not Dingzi Zhonggong!"

Dingzi Zhonggong's body shook slightly, and she just froze in place. After a while, she closed her eyes with a smile, and two lines of tears fell silently.

"It's so good... so good... Sister Xue... must be a treasure bestowed on me by the gods."

Jiang Xue didn't quite understand why Dingzi Zhonggong suddenly cried, and what she said earlier was also weird, but this didn't prevent her from leaning over to hug him as soon as she saw Dingzi Zhonggong crying.

Hugs are the best comfort when you cry.

Especially when you don't know what to say.

Sobbing softly, Dingzi Zhonggong stretched out his hand to hug his younger sister, wanting to hold her tightly in his arms, but was afraid that such entanglement would make her uncomfortable. In such repeated entanglements, in the end Dingzi Zhonggong still remained the same. As usual, she hugged Jiang Xue gently.

It's like holding falling snow in your hands. If you hold it tightly, the snow will melt. Only by holding it gently can you see the crystal whiteness of the snowflakes for a long time.

"...Sister Xue, I plan to become a monk. If there is any accident at Zhenhua Festival this time, don't make any excuses for me... I will plead guilty to the gods and Buddhas myself, and use the rest of my life to serve the gods and Buddhas. Regarding this matter, Your Majesty It has been granted."

"what……"

Jiang Xue was really taken aback.

This is something that has never been done before.

"Sister Dingzi... want to become a monk?" She slowed down a little bit, not thinking about the situation of "there was no such incident before", and put herself in Dingzi's shoes, "Hmm...has the monastery to become a monk has been chosen? After that Where does Sister Dingzi want to live? She should not be able to live in Ouchi anymore, if Sister Dingzi has nowhere to go for a while... maybe I can ask my father to let Sister Dingzi live in another courtyard first."

The hardest part is not after making a decision, but before.

Once you think about it and say it, all the burdens will disappear.

Dingzi Zhonggong originally thought that Sister Xue might not understand her actions. However, Sister Xue did not ask the reason, but thought about her future life wholeheartedly, and she wanted to cry again.

This is such a sincere concern...

Since her brother passed away, she hadn't received such pure care for a long time.

Dingzi Nakamiya lowered his head and wiped away his tears, wanting to face his sister with the best smile.

"Sister Xue... I was originally a monk, and it was a chance that I never thought about returning to the harem again. Now it's time for me to leave. This position in the middle palace... must be the daughter of the Fujiwara family who can preside over the gods. Only by being responsible can the Fujiwara family’s prosperity be preserved. Although I am a lost Nakamiya, I will not have nowhere to go. In the past, my private residence Nijo Palace once caught fire, but now it has been repaired and can be lived in. I plan to bring Let Qingshao Nayan leave the palace together. This time... it should be the last time that Sister Xue and I meet in the harem."

Jiang Xue blinked.

From Dingzi Zhonggong's words, she didn't feel too much worry about "losing Zhonggong status and wealth and glory", but felt a sense of relief from a heavy burden.

Why do you want to say such a thing at this time?In fact, Dingzi Zhonggong didn't need to explain too much, and just regarded this time as an ordinary meeting, and after moving out of the harem, she would naturally visit when she got the news.

What exactly does Sting Zi want to express and gain through these words?

Relieved...

……I see.

Jiang Xue suddenly realized that she took Fujiwara Takako's hand confidently, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Sister Tingzi. You are free."

Fujiwara Joko burst into tears when she heard "freedom".

Yes, that's exactly what she wanted.

When she got these words from sister Xue who looked like snow falling in the sky and birds flying in the clouds, "Fujiwara Dadako" was truly freed from the name "Fujiwara" that had bound her for half her life.

She is finally free.
