Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1293

Kagura replied:

"Since you've taken up an official position, you're bound to get caught up in this vortex. As long as you don't go too deep, there won't be any problems."

Having spent so much time with Kyosuke Kousaka, she naturally learned a great deal from his presence.

This includes Kyosuke Kousaka's specific ideas.

"That seems to be true... Kyosuke really has a tough time."

Sagiri murmured.

When she was bored in the modern world, she would watch TV dramas and often see storylines about office workers being bullied in various ways.

Unexpectedly, even husbands in this world cannot avoid this kind of thing.

"So you must serve Kyosuke-sama well~"

Mengye chuckled and came closer.

Upon hearing this, Sagiri was immediately filled with fighting spirit and subconsciously clenched her small fist.

"I will definitely do a great job!"

Currently, she has learned how to make Kousaka Kyosuke comfortable through numerous observations.

So there's absolutely no problem with her taking charge!

"Me too!"

Su Chang also came over to join in the fun.

Kinnara also came over excitedly, mimicking Su Chang's low voice as she cheered, "Me too!"

Eh?

Sagiri was slightly confused. She remembered that Kinnara didn't seem to be the one.

Oh, maybe it's because her husband is too charming.

Forget it, let's not worry about such details~

Uh……

Shizuko looked at the atmosphere around her, which was gradually becoming more lively, and felt a rather complicated feeling.

For now, due to the discussion of matters in plain clothes.

She, Chitanda, and the others who usually went to the manor together stayed there for the time being.

Of course, she had nothing to do with it.

After all, the proper functioning of the manor depends on her husband, Kyosuke Kosaka.

Because of Kyosuke Kousaka's existence.

Only then can the people in the manor work quietly without being bothered.

Don't underestimate this point.

Through numerous conversations with Su Chang, Jingzi came to understand that the world is full of difficulties.

It's like the system of sending people to a manor.

This is a question that will be on the history exam.

Shizuko discovered that what she learned in class was far different from what actually happened.

Originally, the Qin family had been following the rules and honestly paying annual tribute and taxes to the vassal lord, and in return, they received protection.

Unexpectedly, this clan leader was demoted to a small country due to political struggles, and then the Qin family began to suffer – becoming the main target of the Treasury Province's tax collection.

He was also the first person to have his "big plan" implemented after the Emperor came of age.

Then, of course, things just fizzled out as Su Chang and Su Yi married Kousaka Kyosuke one after the other.

This also seems to be related to the fact that everyone is unwilling to let Emperor Ichijo do whatever he wants.

Then Fujiwara Yukinari, who was in charge of the execution, gradually became a mere bystander.

"Speaking of which, this was truly an era of fine traditions. The Emperor, representing an official organization, wanting to collect taxes was considered an act of arbitrariness..."

Shizuko suddenly remembered the previous emperor who was related to Kagura.

The previous emperor, Emperor Hanayama.

Despite his absurd title, he actually once wanted to make a big splash, just like Emperor Ichijo.

Like Emperor Ichijo, he wanted to collect taxes from the manor, but he was tricked by the manor's father, Fujiwara no Kaneie, and ended up becoming a monk.

Upon reflection, one can conclude that politics is indeed terrifying.

"...Huh, what happened here?"

Shizuko snapped out of her daze and turned her head to see Sakayanagi Arisu, who had just arrived and seemed to be planning to come and have some fun.

At that moment, Shizuko was by the door, so she naturally noticed Sakayanagi Arisu muttering to herself immediately.

"They were discussing political matters. It was just that Kyosuke-sama was worried about being sent to preside over some ceremonies, and it actually happened..."

"Is that so? That's really bad."

Sakayanagi Yuqi said thoughtfully.

To be honest, she initially couldn't understand why her husband, who was almost on the fringes of politics, would care so much about this.

Then, after hearing Su Chang casually mention that "those monks and sumo wrestlers are all very strong," he finally understood!

The identity of the person presiding over the ceremony may be very important.

But what's even more noteworthy is... their strength!

To put it bluntly, who knows if the people participating in important ceremonies have any ulterior motives?

If a problem does arise, it could be very serious.

As for why Kyosuke Kousaka didn't participate as a guardian?

Sakayanagi Arisu immediately thought of the Taoist priest.

As the most famous regent in history, he would probably not easily let go of any opportunity that could erode imperial power.

According to records, this Kanpaku eventually became virtually indistinguishable from the Emperor.

However, the level of difficulty may be correspondingly increased in this era where gods and monsters exist.

But this doesn't mean that the Taoist priest wouldn't do some daring things.

"If you're interested, you can ask Mrs. Xiangzi."

Jingzi reminded.

Sakayanagi Arisu quickly shook her head: "No, I can't."

"If you think it's okay, then it's okay. It's not a big deal. Besides, Lady Xiangzi isn't like Lord Kyosuke who would eat people."

"eat human?"

"You're focusing on the wrong thing. Just do whatever you want to do."

Shizuko calmly changed the subject.

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and agreed, sitting quietly without saying anything more.

"It's over, Lord Kyosuke has completely lost his 'majesty'."

Sakayanagi Yuqi secretly said.

Naturally, her words were more of a teasing remark.

Regardless of how you put it, Kyosuke Kousaka is definitely the most important, most amazing, and most interesting man in Arisu Sakayanagi's eyes.

If I were to be "eaten" one day, it wouldn't seem so bad~

But I'm still very curious.

This curiosity continued until noon, when she had lunch with Horikita Suzune, Kiryuin Fuka, Kushida Kikyo, and Ichinose Honami, among others.

"Eating it means..."

Horikita Suzune fell into deep thought.

She didn't quite understand what that meant.

Kikyo Kushida coughed lightly: "I have read some shoujo manga."

Horikita Suzune subconsciously said, "Isn't that just a book that only describes erotic content?"

"No way!" Kikyo Kushida immediately retorted, "It's not just erotic, there's something else entirely!"

"It really has a suggestive element..."

Horikita Suzune stared speechlessly at Kushida Kikyo, her front end beginning to lean back.

Kikyo Kushida retorted, "Shoujo manga was originally designed to respond to the latent needs of women."

Horikita Suzune blinked and murmured, "Lurking desires..."

Kikyo Kushida's expression underwent a rather subtle change.
