Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"That depends on my arrangements at the time. Don't worry, I'll at least give a generous gift. To be honest, I've suffered quite a loss this past year."

"You should marry more women in the future, then you won't be at a disadvantage."

Kyosuke Kosaka kindly offered his suggestion.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna chuckled and shook his head, saying nothing more.

Kyosuke Kosaka strongly suspects that this guy intends to live a lonely life.

Being single is pretty good too.

Kousaka Kyosuke silently comforted Fujiwara Michitsuna in his heart.

Saying it verbally is too provocative.

Then just say it in your heart.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Standing behind Kousaka Kyosuke, Shijo Tei felt a strange unease.

"Lord Kyosuke is preparing to marry Lady Sei Shonagon again..."

Kyosuke Kousaka's record of getting married several times in just over a year has once again shocked Emperor Shijo.

He is the twin brother of his older sister, Maki, who is also the wife of Kyosuke Kousaka.

He didn't have many complicated feelings about his brother-in-law remarrying.

For him.

As long as Kyosuke Kousaka can take good care of his older sister Maki, he has absolutely no objections.

Ultimately, this is an era of polygamy.

You can't forbid someone from having multiple wives, can you?

Some time passed.

A female official came to report on the situation.

"His Highness has instructed you to go and fetch the Young Counselor in half an hour..."

"Yes, please be sure to convey my heartfelt thanks to His Highness."

Kyosuke Kosaka said solemnly to the lady-in-waiting.

It seems that the friendship between Teishi and Sei Shonagon was not superficial.

Kyosuke Kosaka was deeply moved by this.

But...

"It will be very difficult to back out later."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

I'm sorry, but this is a matter of position that cannot be changed.

Not much to say.

Wait half an hour.

When Kousaka Kyosuke went to pick up Sei Shonagon, he discovered two more oxcarts loaded with silks and satins.

"He married a rich girl."

"It's this late... and you're still being so sarcastic."

Sei Shonagon looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with a sullen expression.

She wondered if Kyosuke Kosaka could always be so quick-witted.

"Thank you so much, Lord Dingzi, for making this possible."

Kyosuke Kosaka's smile faded slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.

Sei Shonagon's eyes unconsciously became moist, and then she spoke with her head down.

"Lord Dingzi is a good person..."

"Yes."

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't interrupt and nodded seriously.

Then a long silence followed.

Until Sei Shonagon broke the silence herself.

"Alright~ Now that I'm about to become a wife, I'll start doing my duty from now on."

"I'm flattered to hear you say that."

"Humph."

Sei Shonagon wrinkled her nose and pouted.

Kyosuke Kosaka guessed that "Shonagon still has a bit of a temper."

This is good.

Kyosuke Kousaka likes people who have their own opinions.

"Let's go."

Kousaka Kyosuke took Sei Shonagon's hand and led her into the oxcart.

Sei Shonagon's cheeks finally flushed as she let Kousaka Kyosuke lead her.

It was as if I could hear the pounding of my heart inside my body.

It felt like a little deer was running wildly in her heart.

Very magical feeling.

“There are quite a few people on my side, and the rules are a bit different from those of other noble residences. I believe you will like it.”

Once inside the carriage, and after ordering the driver to proceed, Kousaka Kyosuke began to whisper with Sei Shonagon.

Hearing what Kousaka Kyosuke said, the somewhat shy Sei Shonagon felt much less nervous.

"I know it's just like what Xiangzi described, just like the beautiful wisteria flowers."

"This description..."

Kousaka Kyosuke was speechless.

The wisteria flower is the emblem of the Fujiwara family.

It carries connotations of elegance, beauty, and romance.

Among them, the most important one is its amazing reproductive ability!

When it blooms, the number of flowers is astonishing!

It's quite common to see a flower waterfall hanging more than a meter long.

Therefore, Xiangzi was not only saying that the girls in the palace were beautiful and outstanding, but also implying that there were quite a lot of them.

"And Noriko said that Kyosuke-sama is very gentle..."

Sei Shonagon continued in an extremely soft voice.

For some reason, her ears turned red at a visible speed, and Kousaka Kyosuke could feel their burning heat just by looking at them.

Kyosuke Kousaka immediately became curious.

I'm curious what Fujishikibu wrote to Sei Shonagon.

Why is Sei Shonagon more shy than ever before?

Did you perhaps write down your love history for this pen pal?

Kosaka Kyosuke doesn’t quite understand.

He never inquired about the letters that Kyoko and Fujishikibu sent to Sei Shonagon.

Ultimately, this is a very private matter.

all in all.

It's a blessing that we were able to bring Sei Shonagon back so quickly today.

"I remember that Shonagon knows quite a few other people, like Ayase, Rumi, Ruri... oh, and Utaha too. I need to send her a long letter right away!"

Upon arriving at our lodgings, we disembarked from the carriage.

Kousaka Kyosuke led Sei Shonagon hand in hand toward her bedchamber.

Sei Shonagon is dressed in traditional tsubo-style clothing and wears a city woman's hat.

Just like any other noblewoman going out.

This contrasts sharply with the vibrant and adorable scene inside the palace.
