Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"I disagree. Aren't fresh persimmons sweeter? They're even sweeter when dried and made into persimmon cakes."

"Fresh cantaloupes are much more tempting."

"No, you don't know what dried persimmons are all about. They look wrinkled and grayish, but once you tear them open, they're a fresh, bright orange color!"

The two people who were drinking started discussing food at some point.

Seeing this situation, Fujiwara Masakazu was quite exhausted.

"Shouldn't we be discussing political matters? Shouldn't we be getting to know each other better?"

Hiroto and Shogo, who were evaluating the taste of cantaloupe and dried persimmon, became more and more enthusiastic as they discussed it.

They agreed to bring the physical evidence another day to determine who was right and who was wrong.

Just when Fujiwara Masakazu thought it was over, he heard Fujiwara Tomoyuki speak again with a smile.

"Speaking of persimmons, I heard they're planning to transplant some persimmon trees into the yard. By the way, Changhe, do you like persimmons?"

"I prefer dried persimmons; fresh persimmons just can't completely hide their astringent taste."

When Fujiwara Tomoyuki asked him about it, Fujiwara Masakazu immediately smiled and answered.

Tomoyuki Fujiwara.

He was a member of the Fujiwara family, just like him.

However, this member of the same clan who participated in the Battle of Mount Ooe clearly had a much higher goal.

Judging from the current trend, the vacant assistant officer position in the Prosecution Office is reserved for this person.

It was impossible for Fujiwara Masakazu not to be respectful.

"You like dried persimmons? That's wonderful! When the persimmons ripen in the fall, I'll have someone make some for you..."

Well.

Looking at the radiant smile that flashed across Fujiwara Masakazu's face at lightning speed, Shogo seemed to understand something.

"This person... clearly favors power more."

The discussion about food with Hiroto was intentional.

After all, Changwu didn't want to talk about political matters.

But Fujiwara Masakazu was not.

Therefore, Shogo wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

As for whether it will make this person unhappy?

There is no way around this.

Ultimately, the current situation is already quite good; there's no need to continue pushing it further.

Of course, Changwu also understood that this situation was more like "a well-fed man not knowing the hunger of a starving man".

Compared to his stable and happy life, with his daughter and husband Kyosuke Kosaka taking care of and promoting him.

Fujiwara Masakazu's situation is indeed a bit troublesome.

Unfortunately, Shogo was also powerless to help.

Life is just so helpless...

Day 433 of crossing

It’s the hour of Mao.

Kousaka Kyosuke saw Sei Shonagon get up from her bed right on time.

This swift and decisive action almost made Kyosuke Kousaka question his very existence.

"You're so punctual."

Kyosuke Kosaka finally blurted out his complaint.

Sei Shonagon said apologetically, "I must have woken you up..."

"That's not it. I'm never a heavy sleeper, and I'm fine even if I sleep less. I'm just starting to wonder if I'm being disliked?"

"Kyosuke-sama, you who have spent another night with me have the least right to say that."

Sei Shonagon narrowed her eyes, her face full of hostility.

What have they done to her these past few days?

What's more, she even went to ask other people for advice... which is extremely embarrassing!

Kousaka Kyosuke said quickly:

"I've never doubted you, absolutely not, I would never doubt you. I'm just a little curious about how you have so much energy so early in the morning."

Sei Shonagon pursed her lips, not intending to exploit Kousaka Kyosuke's weakness, and simply began to patiently explain.

"Because people in the palace also get up this early."

"Yes, I almost forgot about that."

"Remember everything about me well!"

Sei Shonagon raised her hand and tugged at Kousaka Kyosuke with a little force.

"what!"

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately resembled a prawn arching its back.

"He's just putting on an act again..." Sei Shonagon muttered, but couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Kyosuke Kosaka's exaggeratedly wide-eyed expression, she felt a surge of joy.

As for why we are certain that Kyosuke Kousaka is just putting on an act?

Needless to say?

Sei Shonagon has gained considerable experience in controlling the intensity of her movements these past few days.

They could even say they are very confident.

"Straighten your back, I'm dressing you."

"it is good."

Kousaka Kyosuke stopped pretending and obediently did as Sei Shonagon instructed.

This new wife is actually quite interesting.

They love to retaliate in small ways no matter how you make a joke.

The counterattack was tinged with subtle ambiguity and a hint of submissiveness.

It's so addictive.

"Nuozi is a very traditional woman, just like me."

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed inwardly, deeply appreciating the beauty of this world.

The banquet is scheduled for a few more days.

Since Sei Shonagon has hinted that she doesn't mind, then there's no problem.

This is good.

Two quarters of an hour later.

With everything prepared, Kousaka Kyosuke bid farewell to Sei Shonagon and his other companions.

As usual, I went out with Kinnara and Kagura.

Unexpectedly, she saw Menreiki, who seemed to be waiting for her, as soon as she stepped outside.

"What? You're just going to wait at the door and not come in?"

Kyosuke Kousaka walked towards Menreiki with a sigh.

Menreiki is like a ghost, with almost no presence.

Importantly, she is also particularly good at concealing her aura.

"If you don't come out by Chenshi (7-9 AM), I'll go in. Besides, it's interesting to observe the other people."

"That's not necessarily funny."

Kyosuke Kosaka gently tapped Menreiki's head with a chop to the neck.

By the way.

Menreiki also seems to have a voyeuristic tendency.

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted her to change, but then he thought about it and decided not to say anything.

Ultimately, Menreiki is quite intelligent and knows what she shouldn't do.

Therefore, he doesn't need to provide much education.

"I have some good news to tell you."

"Could it be that you're pregnant with my child?"
