Yuchuan felt that it was not just because of talent or blood concentration. The fact that the shrine maiden was recognized by the gods at such a young age showed that her hard work and devout faith were noticed by the gods on Takama-ga-hara.

As for others... maybe they just look more hardworking and pious. Who else can know the specific situation except themselves?

This is also one of the reasons why Yuchuan looked down on her and firmly chose the witch.

However, he still had to be humble and modest. Yuchuan Gon Gongshi stood obediently in front of the door of Hidaka Mari's bedroom with his head bowed. He didn't dare to say much or make any rash moves.

Yuchuan only raised his eyes slightly after hearing the reply from the Lord God's personal attendant, his face full of disbelief.

Because instead of asking her to come in and answer the question, the adult's order was passed down through someone else's mouth!

Five years ago, every time such an unexpected situation occurred, Yuchuan could enter the place where the adults and Lord Watanabe were having fun and talk to the witch face to face. How could he be stopped outside the bedroom door like today?

Just from this one difference, Yuchuan had a feeling that there would be some verbal sparring going on!

As for the reply, it was full of doubts. Let Watanabe-sama go and accompany Tsukimi Satoki directly! ?

What does this mean? Or is this what the adult meant?

The original words that Amekawa reported to his superiors were, "Mrs. Tsukimi has entered the shrine. She wants to see the miko-sama, the shrine master, Mr. Watanabe, and Ms. Saotome."

Only three minutes had passed, and Yuchuan remembered it clearly, without making a single mistake, so she was puzzled by the answer.

Simply pushing Watanabe-sama out to "grind off", "pierce" and "extinguish" Tsukimi Ryosaki's arrogance and anger is something that only Hidaka Shinto could do. On the contrary, the miko would never let Watanabe Toru face Tsukimi Ryosaki directly.

Gambling is everywhere in the shrine. Matters big and small can be infinitely exaggerated or minimized. It just depends on whether there are interests involved and no one is willing to give in, or someone just doesn't care and lets the other party encroach.

In the past, specifically five years ago, the interest groups headed by Hoshimi Haruka secretly chose the latter, but this helpless escape completely disappeared the year before last. Now, secretly, when facing the people of Hidaka Mari's faction, the priestesses of Hoshimi Haruka's faction will fight if they can!

"May I ask you one more question, sir? Was this an order from the miko or the god?" Yuchuan smiled faintly, and his tone and posture were extremely low when he spoke.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister is different from the priestess's personal attendant who has to be rotated every two years. The personal attendant of the lord does not need to be rotated, and it all depends on the lord's preference.

Although the woman in front of Yuchuan does not have much power, her invisible status is quite high, so he should try not to confront her openly.

"Why, Yuchuan Quangongshi thinks that I am confusing the public and blurring the orders issued by the two adults? Or do you have a problem with any of the adults?"

Hidaka Mari's close attendant raised his eyebrows slightly, with wrinkles clearly visible at the corners of his eyes. With just one question, he became even more arrogant, trying to make it difficult for Yuchuan to get off the stage.

"You are joking, sir..." Yu Chuan countered the opponent's moves, ignoring his opponent's rhythm:

"But this matter involves Lord Watanabe and Lady Tsukimi, so we need to be careful. Lady Tsukimi is angry but not saying anything, but Lord Watanabe, if something happens then...

“It is better to first clarify the people who are responsible.

"I will definitely not be able to escape, and Ikeguchi Gon-miyaji will not be able to escape responsibility either, so your Excellency..."

"Huh..." The woman chuckled, "Is Yuchuan Quan Gongsi threatening me?"

"Sir, I am only stating the pros and cons and considering everything for you." Seeing that the other party was caught up in his own whirlpool and thinking rhythm, Yuchuan took the opportunity to pursue:

"As always, my lord has allowed me to go into the inner chambers and confirm the order with the miko and the lord. Then I can clear myself completely. Even if the truth is revealed, it will have nothing to do with you."

The woman smiled, stood up and stepped aside, extending her hand to invite Yuchuan into the Lord's bedroom. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was gritting her teeth, and she spoke in a very low voice: "I have seen that Yuchuan, the Palace Master Quan, is sharp-tongued. His reputation is well-deserved, hehe..."

Yuchuan didn't argue with her anymore and pushed the door open.

She knew that she had created a grudge with the other party today, but Yuchuan did not regret it.

From the moment the other party didn't let her confirm with the witch in person as she had done in the past, Yuchuan knew that she would be at odds with her today.

Even if it's not today, it will be tomorrow. It's a matter of time. After all, the masters behind them are different.

The God and the Miko are cousins, so it's not easy for them to quarrel with each other in front of each other. So they can only act as his subordinates, which is not decent!

After entering, Yuchuan lowered his head and walked in small steps to the side of the huge bed in the bedroom, which he could just glimpse with his peripheral vision.

Unfortunately, she took the wrong path and ended up walking towards Hidaka Mari's side, where she happened to be met with Hidaka Mari's half-smile. She was so embarrassed that after bowing, Yuchuan immediately turned around and walked over there.

Seeing that the witch was still sleeping on the bed, with a large area of ​​her snow-white back revealing a smooth, glowing white jade, Yuchuan withdrew his gaze and quickly knelt beside Xing Jianyao, leaning over to whisper in her ear.

She knew that the witch was actually awake, but was just too lazy to open her eyes.

"I understand. Let's go and let Brother Toru meet Tsukimi... um, tell him it was my idea."

Hoshimi Haruka really didn't expect that Tsukimi Saki would not play by the rules. She said she would come in the afternoon, and after repeated assurances, she treated her words as nonsense and showed up unexpectedly in the morning.

However, up to now, both Xing Jianyao herself and her aunt still had weak legs and no strength in their bodies, and it was difficult for them to get up for a while.

She can only let her brother Toru deal with Tsukimi Saki first. Hoshimi Haruka hopes that he will not hold back and let Tsukimi Saki taste their pain!

So Hoshimi Haruka gave another instruction: "Tell Brother Toru to try his best to make Tsukimi Saki happy and satisfied."

Yuchuan didn't understand and just nodded.

Hoshimi Haruka also didn't want Watanabe Toru to continue using his body to win over and satisfy these women. Her possessiveness was at work, but she couldn't do anything about it as she had no say.

It would be great if Brother Toru could really regain his freedom and not have to do anything he doesn't want to do. Xing Jianyao is willing to help him, but unfortunately she doesn't have the ability to do so now.

"Then how should we arrange for Miss Saotome?" Yuchuan asked again.

"Don't worry about her for now. When she's mentioned in Tsukimi later, let Saotome go see her as well."

"Yes."

Without further ado, Yuchuan, having received the order, bowed and left the bedroom to find Watanabe Tetsuya.

Mari Hidaka, who witnessed everything, watched these scenes and praised: "Xiaoyao has a good vision. She was able to find such a capable and loyal subordinate as Yuchuan Gon Gongji. When the future of the shrine is handed over to you, with her assistance, nothing will go wrong."

Xing Jianyao didn't know why her aunt suddenly mentioned Yuchuan. She had never mentioned him before. After all, Yuchuan was her subordinate and she needed to avoid suspicion of him clearly.

Some things are fine if you don't joke about them, but once you start...

"Since Auntie thinks Yuchuan does a good job, how about I transfer her to you for use?" Xing Jianyao said without turning her head.

She stood up and put on her clothes. All the women were about to arrive. As the host, if she didn't show up yet, she might not be able to hold the place.

Hidaka Mari was speechless after hearing what her niece said. She shook her head and said, "Don't be so excited, Xiaoyao... Auntie didn't mean anything else."

"I know what my aunt is thinking, and I don't have any other intentions." Xing Jianyao turned around and smiled at Hidaka Mari, signaling her to be at ease and not to think too much:

“It’s just that my aunt is the shrine’s chief priestess, so naturally all the priestesses, including me, need to follow the orders and commands of the chief priestess.

"Similarly, whether it's me or Yuchuan Quan Gongsi, they are all subordinates of my aunt, that's all."

"Xiaoyao has really grown a lot..."

Looking at her high-spirited niece, Hidaka Mari seemed to see her deceased sister. The smile in her eyes faded a little, only the corners of her mouth still had a smile.

She was her elder sister for the first twenty years. Could it be that she would be her niece or her sister’s biological daughter for the next twenty years?

Hidaka Mari didn't know, and now she didn't have the mood to think about these things, she also dragged her weak body out of bed...

After walking out of the shrine's bedroom, Yuchuan turned left and headed straight for Watanabe's Japanese-style room with a clear goal.

Watanabe was walking back and forth with Noriko under the corridor, talking and laughing.

Yuchuan Quan Gongji knew that his wife was pregnant. Looking at the newlywed couple who were made for each other under the corridor, he couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

After appearing, Yuchuan, who was slightly polite, did not beat around the bush: "Sir Watanabe... there is a guest who has come all the way from Kyoto. The shrine master and the shrine maiden are not feeling well and are both recuperating.

"They sent me to order you to go and entertain them."

Chapter 325 Sakuraba Miki prepares to die together, and Watanabe Tetsuya takes turns serving her

Tsukimi Ryosaki is very angry right now.

Saotome Hazuki's betrayal and monopolization, Hidaka Mari's aunt and nephew going crazy all night, Watanabe Toru has attracted a new woman in Tokyo, and they are women from the Sakuraba family and the Kunomiya family. They have a high status and are very troublesome. I heard that they are chasing him from Tokyo!

The most important thing is that even after Tsukimiri herself entered the shrine, no one showed up to look for her. This shows that the so-called "Five Women of Kyoto" are now in name only.

This is not the situation that Tsukimi Saki wants to see. Faced with external enemies, they must first deal with the internal chaos and disorder and rebuild an unbreakable line of defense and alliance.

Thinking of this, Tsukimi Rizaki's heart undoubtedly calmed down a lot.

She no longer pursued the rude disregard of Hoshimi Haruka and Hidaka Mari. Watanabe Tetsuya had his own way of compensating for his escape and disappearance. Even for Saotome Hazuki, Tsukimi Risaki only planned to give her a lenient sentence.

It would be another story if Saotome didn’t have eyes.

When I was thinking about what to do with Saotome next, Mizunotsuki and the Gonmiyasu named Ikeguchi came in, and Mizunotsuki brought a piece of information.

"President, it seems that in addition to you, Hidaka Shrine has other distinguished guests from afar today."

With interest, she shifted her eyes from Mizunotsuki's charming face with a sinister smile to Ikeguchi who was grinning beside her. Tsukimi thought of the two convoys parked in a remote corner at the foot of the mountain, and then she realized it belatedly.

"Is he a guest from Tokyo?" she asked Ikeguchi.

Ikeguchi Gon Gongshi bent his body and broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Tsukimiri's question.

In order to maintain his good impression, Ikeguchi had to lick Tsukimiri as usual, trying to satisfy her: "Yes... Tsukimiri-sama, I am a guest from Tokyo, I arrived an hour before you."

"That's strange, why didn't I see them?" Tsukimi Ryosaki patiently coaxed.

"The guests from Tokyo were entertained by Gonmiyaji Amekawa. Maybe she arranged for them to rest somewhere else... Well, I'm not sure about the details."

"No, you know." Yue Jianli said firmly, leaving no room for doubt: "I also want to meet the two young ladies from Tokyo. I would like to trouble Ikeguchi Gon Gongshi to introduce them to me and bring them to see me.

"Okay?"

Every request that Tsukimi Rin Saki made was difficult, which made Ikeguchi feel uncomfortable but he couldn't refuse. In the end, he could only drag his dazed body to do the work.

However, to Ikeguchi's surprise, when she found Kujo Sakura and Sakuraba Mihime and explained her purpose, the two young ladies, who seemed difficult to talk to, actually pondered for a moment, looked at each other and agreed to her request.

They had been at the shrine for nearly two hours and hadn't seen anyone. When they asked, they found out that everyone was busy. They were naturally unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.

Now that there are outsiders who want to see them, even if they take the initiative to find the other party, it is better than staying where they are and not knowing what is going on.

Especially for the hot-tempered Sakura Jiugong, if she hadn't considered that this was in someone else's territory and not in Tokyo, she would have made a scene long ago.

She endures!

And she also wanted to meet the other five ladies of Kyoto, which was one of the purposes of coming to [Amenakamachi].

Apart from the old woman Saotome, Kujo Sakura didn't want to make any more enemies.

She came to join the big family centered on Tetsuya Watanabe and to divide up Teacher Watanabe's family, not to cause trouble. Jiugong Sakura needs to make her views clear to other women.

Jiugong Feng had already taken a nap because of motion sickness, and it was estimated that she would have to get up for lunch. So the two young ladies each brought their own maids and followed Ikeguchi to meet Tsukimi and Mizunotsuki.

The meeting of the three pairs of master and servant started earlier than expected.

Their first impression of Tsukimi was that it was very strange. Wearing black stockings on the legs was normal, and wearing stockings on the hands was also understandable, but why were the waist and neck areas that were barely visible also wearing thin, transparent and refreshing black stockings?

Thinking about what they had heard from the older uncles and aunts about Tsukimi Risaki's special disorder, her extreme cleanliness obsession and her unwillingness to allow any foreign objects to touch her skin except those she was used to, Kujo Sakura and Sakuraba Mihime understood why she did this.

It’s just that... the look that Tsukimi Rin Saki gave them, or to be more precise, the look that she gave Sakuraba Mihime, was extremely strange.
