But whatever.
We cannot give up the opportunity to hold power just because we are often criticized and blamed.
Suppressing his restlessness, Kyosuke Kosaka hurried to his lodgings.
Fujiwara no Michitsuna had previously hinted that he would most likely be reinstated tomorrow.
Once everything is over, he will be promoted and become a nobleman, below the rank of duke.
Kyosuke Kousaka flew along, constantly pondering the political and military situation.
When we finally arrived at our residence, the main bedroom, I grabbed someone at random... Let's party!
98. Reinstatement / Chaotic Kyoto / An Admirable Opponent / Postponed
The party went on until night.
I heard the alarm bells ringing, my stomach growling.
Still feeling restless, Kyosuke Kousaka skillfully shifted his body, pulled back the shoji screen, and stepped outside.
He called on Komachi, who was waiting outside, to help prepare the meal.
While waiting, they fed Fumino and Satsuki, who were limp.
Having recovered her strength, Su Yi put on a light purple robe and went outside to give orders.
My younger sister, Su Chang, leaned against a brocade couch.
They watched idly as Kyosuke Kousaka fed Fumino and Satsuki.
The others gradually woke up as well.
Compared to before, everyone is somewhat... used to it and no longer pretends to be asleep.
Outside, Su Yi discovered that Komachi had already had food prepared.
She couldn't help but smile and offer a compliment.
"No wonder Lord Kyosuke likes Komachi so much."
"whee……"
Komachi's youthful face blossomed into a happy and adorable smile.
Su Yi then looked at Yi Hua and Si Ye beside her, whose expressions were hard to hide.
He then whispered to them:
"Lord Kyosuke needs to balance his yin and yang after all his busy work, please don't be offended."
Both Ichika and Yotsuba bowed their heads and hurriedly said they dared not.
Seeing how nervous the two were, Su Yi could only gently hold their hands and say a few words of comfort.
She really likes her sisters Nino, Miku, and Itsuki.
Therefore, the addition of a single flower and a four-leaf clover is equally welcome.
Actually.
She had an idea when she saw that the two looked just like Nino, Miku, and Itsuki.
In her view, a woman who looks exactly like her husband's concubine should not marry anyone else.
Naturally, Suyi wouldn't make decisions for her husband on her own initiative.
Now, I'm quietly guiding Ichika and Yotsuba to realize the problem.
To avoid any uncontrollable variables in the future.
"...Is this the preparation Miku was talking about?"
Seeing that Su Yi had let go of herself, Ichika, who was gradually calming down, was only confused.
She secretly observed Yotsuba.
Seeing that Yotsuba's face was only red, I was basically relieved.
She never expected this to happen—
Today's daytime conditions were just like yesterday's, with overcast skies and a sense of oppression.
Yesterday, Ichika and Yotsuba stayed in the bedroom at the urging of the other ladies, as well as Nino, Miku, and Satsuki.
The sleeping quarters were in the spacious mother's room in the center of the palace.
The mother's room was furnished with straw mats that were even softer than modern tatami mats.
At intervals, neatly stacked squares of brocade sheets were placed.
It seems to imply that people can sleep or lie down anywhere they want.
Last night, Ichika and Yotsuba slept with the other three sisters.
Just before dawn, Ichika heard a noise.
She thought Yotsuba had gotten up in fear again and was about to go and comfort her.
To her surprise, she saw Kousaka Kyosuke holding the sleepy Yotsuba, preparing to kiss her.
At that moment, Yihua was bewildered and helpless, her mind completely blank!
However, she soon discovered a dramatic scene—
Just as he was about to bend down and make full contact with Yotsuba, Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly leaned back!
He seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly and gently put Yotsuba down.
Then his eyes swept around and met Ichika's eyes.
Kousaka Kyosuke only glanced at Ichika before quickly patting Nino on the shoulder.
Finally, he hugged Miku, who had woken up after hearing the noise, and went to the other side.
Soon, strange moans came from the corner.
Hearing the noise, May woke up and, still half asleep, walked in that direction...
My mind was a complete mess, and I had no idea how I ended up leaving with Yotsuba.
"Sister Ichika, Sister Yotsuba, let's start serving the dishes."
"it is good."
"...Okay, okay!"
Reminded, Ichika and Yotsuba hurriedly carried the dishes to their mother's room.
When I went inside, the surroundings were a bit messy.
What reassured Ichika was that everyone was dressed.
Kousaka Kyosuke, sitting in the central seat, was only wearing a thin white undergarment.
She sat cross-legged in a relaxed posture with her hair down.
When Komachi went to serve the dishes, he patted her head.
Everything seemed so natural.
The dishes have been served.
Ichika and Yotsuba, along with Komachi, helped tidy up the surroundings.
Upon smelling the strange, orchid-like, musky scent, all three were deeply moved.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
But soon it became lively as Su Chang, Xiang Zi, and Qian Hua took the initiative to chat.
Especially after Kyosuke Kosaka took the initiative to speak, the surroundings became even more harmonious and peaceful.
Yihua felt very strange.
Looking at her three younger sisters, Nino, Miku, and Itsuki, eating and listening at the same time, she felt increasingly out of place.
"Ichika-neechan, Yotsuba-neechan, once you're done tidying up, you can find a place to sit anywhere."
Komachi whispered a reminder.
Ichika nodded silently, and together with Yotsuba and Komachi, they sat quietly.
When she noticed her other younger sisters occasionally looking at her with concern, she couldn't help but smile and respond.
At that moment, she realized that her younger sisters were really doing well.
Aside from doing some simple chores during the day, I spend most of my free time doing things I enjoy.
He even ate with the master's wife.
This is exactly the same standard as a side room.
If you analyze it carefully, the treatment should be much better than that of a concubine!
