Heiankyo love story

When Jiang Xue heard this, she would understand. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a player who would automatically leave after a year, this arrangement was really considerate, and every aspect was considered for her—it would allow the mistress of the Fujiwara family to say " It doesn't matter if the person you like is a commoner", this is already an extraordinary favor.

What she is most worried about is that Mr. Fujiwara and Mrs. Lunzi suddenly had a brain twitch and "beat the mandarin ducks" for no reason. They betrothed her to someone she didn't know. people brought back.

It's not that she really wants to take the "lonely life" route. If she continues to refuse, when she launches a full-scale strategy, it will inevitably be misunderstood by Mr. Fujiwara and Mrs. Rinko, right?

For the aristocratic parents of this era, such an arrangement is appropriate and tolerant, and it would be a lie to say that they are not moved.

Jiang Xue made up her mind, leaned on Mrs. Lunzi's shoulder, and replied softly and joyfully: "...Master, if I have someone I like, I will definitely tell you. However, these love letters... are still Don't ask someone to replace it, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is a misunderstanding."

Madam Lunzi smiled and nodded.

"You are my cherished daughter, and I wish you the greatest happiness a woman can have."

Jiang Xue's heart moved slightly, and she swallowed back the words she was about to blurt out reflexively.

This is not someone she knows in real life. In a game, what's the point of arguing with her about "the greatest happiness of a woman" with a noble lady thousands of years ago?

She never thought that the greatest happiness for a woman is to find a good husband. Otherwise, why would she insist on doing game testing work? With her looks and her early savings, as long as she is willing to "make do with a little bit of grievance", she will be able to " Marry a good man."

She just "won't".

In this way, the mother and daughter stayed together for a while, and Jiang Xue found some clues from Mrs. Lunzi's previous comfort.

"My lord, His Highness Zhangzi...does he have to enter the palace?"

Mrs. Lunzi tapped Jiang Xue's eyebrows lightly with one hand, and said with remorse and regret: "Xue, you are Zhang Zi's sister, you don't need to call her that, I'm sorry, at that time... But now, in my heart, you Both Zhangzi and Zhangzi are my most cherished daughters. Xue, you are a smart girl, and my mother doesn’t want to hide it from you——From the time Zhangzi was five years old, she already knew that she was going to enter the palace, and that was her destiny. Held this year After the ceremony, Zhangzi will enter the palace. As the most cherished daughter of the Fujiwara family, Zhangzi must make her own contribution to the Fujiwara family."

Jiang Xue thought that in the past few weeks, she had only heard about "Fujiwara Akiko entering the palace with a grand ceremony", at most she could only discuss a few words, and she had no sense of reality about it. Now "Zhang Zi" suddenly became her "sister", and then heard Mrs. Lunzi's words were so straightforward, she couldn't help feeling a little more pity for the princess who couldn't help herself, and murmured: "But, she is 13 years old... Can she not see the outside appearance in her whole life?"

Mrs. Lunzi tightened her hands, her body trembled slightly, then she hugged Jiang Xue more tenderly and stronger, and whispered softly like a sigh: "Xue... this is the fate of noble girls... all I can do is pave the way for her. The way..." She suddenly raised her voice, crying out in her voice, "That's why I hope you can not be troubled by this fate, and you can freely pursue your own happiness, your music tells you that ——You are a bird with wings, you are the white snow falling lightly, you are the wind that travels the world, you are the goddess who is not stained by the dust of the world, you are the eternal star in my hand... Promise me, you will definitely Live happily, Xue Ji?"

Jiang Xue quietly raised her head and saw Mrs. Lunzi weeping silently. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears for her, but Mrs. Lunzi grabbed her wrist and begged again.

"Make a promise with me, you will definitely get happiness, Xue."

Promise me, don't repeat our fate, let's enjoy the free sky together.

In a trance, Jiang Xue seemed to hear such a voice.

It was a weak and desperate sound like the last cry of a bird with broken wings lying on the ground.

This is the unknown side of the glamorous and impressive Mr. Fujiwara's main wife.

Under the flowers and brocades, there are still roots crawling on the ground, and in the depths of the burning oil, there are haggard fire cores.

Jiang Xue saw the sincerity of "Lunzi" here.

In the end, no matter whether it is the wife of Mr. Fujiwara, or Nakamiya Sadako of the Imperial Palace Ouchi, they all have such unwillingness lurking deep in their hearts. It is ridiculous and lamentable that they can only give up such a weak hope. On others, not on your own.

but……

She doesn't hate such people.

Jiang Xue gently put her hands on Mrs. Lunzi's face, covering her weeping face, put her forehead on Mrs. Lunzi's heart, and solemnly agreed.

"My lord, I promise you."

Mrs. Lunzi hugged Jiang Xue tightly in silence.

After a long time, the noble Mrs. Fujiwara left Jiang Xue's small courtyard, leaving only a bronze medal with the family crest that she quietly stuffed into Jiang Xue's hand.

Jiang Xue observed the slender bronze medal in her hand against the light.

She didn't know much about family patterns, but this pattern looked familiar.

It came from Mrs. Rinko's hand, and it's not Fujiwara's family crest, so it can only be the family crest of Rinko's father's clan Genji.

Mrs. Rinko was able to gain a firm foothold in the backyard of Mr. Fujiwara, not because of the favor of Mr. Fujiwara. The husband and wife can walk side by side until now because Rinko came from a prominent background. His father is Minamoto Masanobu and his mother is Fujiwara Muko. , the combination of the two of them is a combination of power, not a combination of feelings.

Rinko's father and brother have been powerful in the court, and this power is also Rinko's power—maybe some of the power even Fujiwara Michizane can't get in touch with.

With this bronze medal as a token, maybe she can borrow Genji's power?

"Pin your hopes on me...do you..."

Jiang Xue threw up the bronze medal, held it lightly, and narrowed her eyes against the sunlight.

"Then, just watch, how far I can go—"

Don't give in to power, don't bow your head because of interests, but simply pursue what you want, live freely and happily - if this is what you want to see, then I will show it to you!

Mrs. Lunzi...

Even though she was crying and telling her helplessness like this, she still inadvertently leaked a secret - "All I can do is pave the way for Zhang Zi".

Even Abe Seimei said that it is inconvenient to investigate "Fujiwara's family affairs", is it simply "the stator attracted ghosts because of loneliness and worry"?

I'm so sorry.

Jiang Xue said this in her heart, picked up the erhu and called someone to set up an ox cart, she wanted to enter the palace to visit Zhonggong.

She only promised "to be happy", but she didn't promise to "pave the way for Zhangzi", let alone stand by and stand by the plight of Dingzi - although those words are so ingenious, it is easy for people to sympathize with Mrs. Lunzi position, thus ignoring the cruelty beneath the gentleness in her words.

However, Zhangzi is innocent, so is Dingzi guilty?

Jiang Xue is more familiar with "Chonggong Dingzi" than "Zhangzi" whom he has never met so far.

In the last week, she strayed into Stator's Palace while sneaking into Ouchi.The young and haggard woman leaned on the corridor and watched the flowers in the courtyard fall, feeling melancholy and lonely.This lonely Zhonggong actually regarded her as a flower demon, and happily invited her to sit down, drink tea and chat.

——Are you a flower demon?Can you chat with me?Don't worry, I won't tell the onmyojis.

--OK.

Jiang Xue jumped down lightly from the eaves and took Stator's outstretched hand.

Last week's lonely Nakamiya, this week's older sister who cares about her younger sister...

Jiang Xue couldn't think of any reason to sit back and watch Stingzi be killed by Mrs. Lunzi.

The ox cart of the Fujiwara family drove directly into Ouchi, until it was inconvenient to continue, Jiang Xue jumped out of the cart and sent a few people back.

Minamoto knelt on the ground silently.

Jiang Xue sighed helplessly.

"Laijiu, this is the palace, nothing will happen. Unemployed men are not allowed to walk freely in the palace. You can wait for me outside the gate of the palace."

Minamoto Raihisa whispered, "Ouchi is not safe."

Jiang Xue looked at the little ghosts everywhere in Ouchi, thinking to herself that this place is not safe, and when she was in a dilemma how to persuade Minamoto to leave, a gorgeous voice came from behind.

"Huh? Your Highness Xue Ji? Why do you come to Da Nei when you have time? Are you here to visit Yingtong?"

Ju Youya walked over with a smile.

Jiang Xue seemed to be pardoned, and immediately said to Yuan Laijiu: "Okay, I will let Major General Tachibana take me there, so Laijiu can feel at ease."

Minamoto Raihisa bowed his head and remained silent.

Ju Youya is so clever, she knows the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and quickly replied: "It seems that there is someone else who came to visit Xue Ji... No matter who it is, I will send Xue Ji well."

Minamoto Raijiu received the promise from the Major General of the Zuo Konoe Mansion, and then saluted Jiang Xue again, and silently resigned.

Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and looked gratefully at Ju Youya.

"Major General Ju, thank you. Otherwise, I really don't know how to persuade Lai Jiu to leave. I'm here to visit Zhonggong, can Major General Ju be free to accompany me?"

Ju Youya smiled and unfolded her folding fan, her eyes sparkling.

"If I accompany His Royal Highness Xue Ji, I will be free anytime."

This sentence was more like a joke than a serious answer, so Jiang Xue cooperated with him, pretending to be serious and said: "Then, how can I thank Major General Ju?"
