Aoden carried his bento and, under the leadership of a certain Yuzaka Light, walked quickly to the depths of Edo Castle Motomaru.

[Note: Okuchi: A type of official position of Oku in the Edo period. It is mainly responsible for serving the general or the Imperial Office, and is also the main class of candidates for the general's side room]

In a moment, the two of them came to a secluded and deep area.

Yuzhong Light stepped into Yujima, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully to the Yujima in front of him:

"Your Highness Tianzhangyuan, Lord Ju is here."

Take the second room and the imperial throne room - both are functional areas in ancient Japanese palace rooms. The former is the place where subordinates report news to the lord and give instructions; the lord usually sits in the latter to accept the worship of his ministers, listen to the subordinates report news, and summon or issue instructions.

As soon as Yuzhong Light finished speaking, a gentle female voice that was extremely familiar to Qingdeng came from the throne:

"Let him come in. And, you all retreat."

Yu Zhongliu drooped her shoulders, her index fingers, middle fingers and ring fingers on her hands were gently pressed against the tatami, bent down, her forehead was almost lying on the ground, and responded with a respectful but breathless voice:

"yes!"

Immediately afterwards, two Yu Xiaoshou, who were kneeling outside the left and right sides of the door between the imperial thrones, stretched out their slender arms at the same time, and slowly opened the door in an orderly manner.

[Yu Xiao's surname: the personal maid at the Imperial Terrace. From 7 to 13 years old, the Qiben family girl is the "Yuan Fu Xiao's surname" after the 13-year-old man, and he has the opportunity to be promoted to Yuzhong Light]

Spotless tatami, tasteful interior decoration, just-mature green potted plants, and beautiful beauty...

Just the next moment when Qingdeng faced the beautiful woman's eyes, she showed a peerless smile.

Zonako has two main types of dressing styles on weekdays.

One is the "Yawasako pattern" in which she wore a female kimono and tied her hair into Shimada Hikari.

The other is the "female warrior mode" wearing a female kendo suit and tied her hair into a high ponytail.

Tianzhangyuan also has two types of dressing styles on weekdays.

One is the "witch model" that is only dressed like this in the Moon Palace Shrine.

The costume is a super witch suit with white and purple on the top, and the hairstyle is also a very typical witch hairstyle: the hair is tied into a low ponytail dragged behind the back, the braid is wrapped with white wax paper, and tied with white and red lines.

Another type is the "Godian Tai Sect Model" that is most well-known by the shogunate officials.

The hair is tied into a short ponytail with a white hairband; because he has become a monk, he cannot wear too bright and exaggerated clothing. Therefore, the overall dressing style of the "Dayutai Model" is elegant. The outer layer is a purple hood, the middle layer is a blue valguard sleeve, and the innermost layer is a white bottom. It is solid color from the inside to the outside. There is no exquisite pattern on the fabric, and there is no decorative objects such as a bun on the head.

Just like Sanako's "Yamato Satsuko mode" and "Veteran mode" can bring people a completely different impression, the two modes of Tianzhangyuan can also make people have completely different feelings.

If it is said that Tianzhangyuan is in the "witch mode", it is a quirky big sister.

Then, the Tenzhangyuan, which is the "Oritoku Station Model", is a steady and calm queen, and can make people feel intuitively - the woman in front of me is one of the most noble figures in the Edo Shogunate!

Qingdeng stepped forward and stepped forward quickly, stepped past the second time, and stepped into the imperial throne room.

As soon as his front foot stepped on the comfortable and soft tatami, the sound of the door being closed was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of slight footsteps gradually faded away... Yu Zhongguang and Yu Xiao both followed the orders of Tianzhangyuan and left quickly without any stop.

In this quiet space, only a pair of lonely men and widows are left.

Just in the light of the Yuzhong, the next moment when the footsteps of the Yu Xiao surname completely disappeared—

"Haaaa... I'm so tired... This kind of sitting posture is really tiring..."

Tianzhangyuan's waist seemed to have lost its bones and bent down instantly.

She first leaned forward with her upper body, then fell to the left, and collapsed on the tatami like mud.

Okay, the weird big sister that Qingdeng is familiar with is back.

"Your Highness, if the female officials of the Great O, the shogunate ministers, would be scared to the ground when they see you now."

Qingdeng complained half-jokingly, while sitting cross-legged directly opposite Tianzhangyuan.

Without outsiders, his relationship with Tokugawa Ishimatsu and Tenzhangyuan has always been very casual.

"That's why I specially sent them away."

Tianzhangyuan, who was lying on the ground, turned over, and while facing Qingdeng, he supported his left forearm, supported his head, and continued with a smile:

"Without idle people waiting to disturb you, you and I can be much more relaxed and comfortable, right?"

"That's right."

Qingdeng nodded in agreement.

Then, he changed his mind:

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Your Highness suddenly called me here, why do you want?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly want to have lunch with you, and by the way... let's play with Double Six?"

As she said that, she took out a plate of "Shuangliu" from behind her and pushed it to Qingdeng's knee like a magic trick.

“‘Double Six’?”

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows.

"Double Six" - can be understood as a board game from the Edo era, a very old popular game. It is an imported product and is not created by the Japanese.

It originated in Mesopotamia in 2600 BC. It was introduced through India and rooted in China. It was introduced to Japan during the Nara period (710-784).

This game is similar to the modern "monopoly". Roll dice to determine the points, and play the game on the grid based on the points. The winner of the finish line will be won.

The chessboard is filled with good or bad "life experiences" such as fire at home, broken hands and feet, and sudden inheritance and becoming a super Monopoly.

The reason why it is named "Double Six" is because this game requires two dices, and the maximum point of two dices is two six.

In Qingdeng's eyes, in this era where there are neither electronic products nor chess and card entertainment, "Double Six" is the most fun tabletop game.

When he is bored on weekdays, he occasionally plays "Double Six" with the Chief Minister, Harada Zuosuke and others.

Qingdeng raised his gaze and stared straight at Tianzhangyuan's face, as if looking for something.

Before Tianzhangyuan discovered his small move, he nodded gently.

"I understand, then let's play."

After saying that, he opened the game box in front of him and began to arrange chess pieces.

At this time, Tianzhangyuan sat up.

"Tsk... This kind of clothes with a very long and tight skirt is really in trouble..."

The clothes worn by the Tianzhang Courtyard under the "Dayutai Station Model" are very typical aristocratic clothes.

The hem of the lower body is very narrow, as if the legs are tied together, so narrow that it cannot swing the legs greatly. When walking, you can only take small steps.

At the same time, because the hem of the skirt is very narrow, it is impossible to choose the other sitting posture except "kneeling".

But... this is not a problem with the unrestrained Tianzhangyuan.

"Well~ It's still more comfortable."

She pulled the hem of her skirt high in one breath, pulled it above her knees, and sat cross-legged like Qingdeng.

In an instant, the room became a little brighter.

Of course, this is not because the candlelight was lit or the sunlight was shining in - it is because the legs of Tianzhangyuan were reflecting.

I saw that her two calves were slender and well-proportioned, slender and not lose their fleshiness, as white as jade, and as smooth as the incarnation of silk.

Seeing this, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel: naturally beautiful girls like Tianzhangyuan, Sanako, Kinoshita Mai, and Elordi are really magical creatures. Don't they have body hair?

If the person sitting in front of him at this time was Sanako, Kinoshita Mai or the Master, he would have opened his eyes without any concealment and took in the tempting beauty in his eyes.

However... the partner is his friend and boss.

He is hungry to his beloved women; he is polite to ordinary women - this is where Qingdeng always insists that he is a gentleman and hates others' greatest confidence in saying that he is lustful.

So, he subconsciously opened his eyes and did not look at the beautiful legs of Tianzhangyuan. His actions were completely captured by Tianzhangyuan.

"Oh yo ~~"

She narrowed her eyes, her mouth slightly raised, and her red lips bent into the shape of a cat's mouth.

"Jujun, you don't need to be so polite. I just exposed a piece of my calves. Why should I be so shy? So you kids are really~ I immediately think of 'this' and the illegitimate child when you see the calves."

When talking about "this", Tianzhangyuan raised his right hand and pointed his tail - in the Edo era, the tail point represents a girlfriend or mistress.

After hearing this, Qingdeng couldn't help but say in a helpless tone:

"First of all, I'm not shy; secondly, I'm 20 years old this year and I'm not a child; finally, when I see my calves, I think of my mistress and illegitimate child. People who have this kind of imagination are no longer children, but patients who should see a doctor, right?"

Qing Deng's explanation failed to win the approval of Tianzhangyuan.

She "chased her relentlessly" and let out a joke-filled laugh.

"Oh yo ~ I'm starting to argue~ I think you're shy at all."

"You are 20 years old this year, so what? I am 26 years old this year......"

The further Tianzhangyuan said, the lower his tone became.

First, the volume gradually became lower and turned into a mosquito hum, but in the end, I couldn't even say anything.

Then, her head was "depressed".
