Chapter 21: The Tale of Taketori
The next morning
Yawning, Shang Yang walked out of his room, and the sun shone through the window into the house, illuminating the whole house warm.
Today, it's a good day.
Stretching his waist, Shang Yang walked into the living room and saw Kaguya and Ai chatting while eating breakfast. Of course, most of the time it's Kaguya who says that love is basically a response with words like "um" and "ah".
But even so, Kaguya is still in high spirits, gushing about the group of suitors to love, perhaps, Kaguya is also the type who hates loneliness.
Shang Yang didn't interrupt them, walked to the table and sat on the floor, and began to eat breakfast.
"Princess, if it goes on like this, rumors about you will definitely spread to the ears of those top nobles, and maybe King Yamato of Fujiwara Kyochu will also come to see you."
After listening to Kaguya talk about the suitors in detail for a while, Shang Yang put down the porridge and said casually.
"The concubine body must not marry a human being...... "Kaguya pressed his temples with some distress, "The concubine body is an immortal Penglai person, if the concubine body marries a human being, after forty or fifty years, the concubine body will still look like this peerless beautiful girl, and the human being who is the concubine husband will become old, and when he dies, the concubine body will have to be widowed forever, which is so tragic." β
"Remarry, it's better to find another one if you die."
Shang Yang lowered his head and blew on the steaming tea, and said casually, but after saying that, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly looked up at Kaguya and Ai.
Sure enough, the two of them stared at him, their eyes almost bursting into flames.
"Hmph, the concubine body won't be like that, the concubine body is like an idiot."
Kaguya snorted dissatisfiedly, she looked at Shang Yang, word by word.
"The concubine body is a very traditional type, and the concubine body is together before life, and buried together after death, although it is impossible to be buried together now, but at least you must be able to accompany the concubine forever."
"Accompany you forever, this one basically marks out all human beings, okay......"
Shang Yang complained.
"Eh, that's what I said," Kaguya was stunned for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and then moved his gaze to Shang Yang, revealing an inexplicable smile, and said.
"Shang Yang, otherwise the concubine will marry you, and the concubine will feel that it will always be with you and love in the future, and it will be a good life to live like this, but I said in advance, you must raise a concubine, and you are not allowed to touch the concubine after marriage."
"Then who the hell am I wronged, hey!"
When Shang Yang heard this, he glared at Kaguya, who was covering his mouth and snickering, and almost flipped the table.
"The concubine is joking~ Moreover, the concubine's father will not let the concubine marry the 'low' monsters on the ground."
Kaguya waved his hand and chuckled, but when he said the word "father", Kaguya was visibly unhappy.
Of course, Shang Yang knew why Kaguya was unhappy, and it is said that after Kaguya took the medicine of Penglai, it was the execution order of Kaguya that was personally issued by Tsukiyomi, and then found that Kaguya could no longer be killed, so he was exiled to the ground.
In other words, the princess of the moon, Kaguya, has been executed, and it is Kaguya from Penglai who is alive now.
"Well, I heard you say that you can go to another world where you don't know anything about the Moon Capital, and if you elope to another world with love and concubine, it's okay," Kaguya didn't bother about anything, and continued to cover his mouth and smiled, "Of course, you still have to raise a concubine." β
"You're still relying on me, aren't you?"
Shang Yang was furious and slapped the table.
"But it's not a question of whether Kaguya wants to marry or not, right?"
Love said softly.
"Yes, love~" Kaguya was suddenly a little depressed, "Maro said that he and his mother-in-law won't live long, and he and his mother-in-law hope to see the concubine have a good home before they die...... Shang Yang, otherwise you continue to pretend to be Saibe Akita to propose, and the concubine agrees to you and then take the concubine away. β
"Don't," Shang Yang refused, "Let's not talk about what I will do with the real Saibe Akita who is affected by my "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation", even if he has nothing to do with us, the nobles who can't find where you marry will think that the Taketori couple hid you, do you want the old Taketori couple to live in peace?" β
"Ha~" sighed, Kaguya didn't think of this problem, but I really couldn't stand it lately.
"Why don't you mention some impossible conditions and make it difficult for the suitors to retreat?"
Love suddenly mentioned a Jianyì.
"Impossible conditions...... Kaguya closed his eyes, made a gesture of thought, and then opened his eyes suddenly, revealing a hint of a smile, "Maybe it's funny, but it's not necessarily, concubine, let's try it~!" β
As he spoke, Kaguya stood up and wanted to run outside, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, so he turned around and pulled up Shang Yang, who was drinking tea.
"Love, Shang Yang lends me to use."
"Hmm." Love nodded and agreed.
"Hey, I haven't agreed yet." Shang Yang protested helplessly.
Taketori Ong's house. Chamber
A green lotus appeared in the air out of thin air, and in the blue light emitted by the green lotus, Shang Yang and Hui Ye appeared in the house.
Then, Qinglian quickly shrank and flew into Shang Yang's heart and disappeared.
"Let you take a ride for free, remember to owe me once~" Shang Yang sat cross-legged casually, and then asked.
"How's it going, did you think of what you were going to ask for?"
"Well," Kaguya also sat on the ground like Shang Yang, took out a fan out of nowhere, and opened it to cover his smile, "By the way, Shang Yang, I heard you say that the history of another world also records the concubine's body?" β
"Of course, I guess there are many worlds, Taketori Monogatari," Shang Yang didn't hide Kaguya, "but the versions are different, some mention the Moon City, some don't mention it, and some have different plots, so you don't have to care about it at all." β
"Then tell the concubine body, what are the requirements of the concubine body in those stories?" Kaguya asked curiously.
"I said, you shouldn't have thought about it at all, you want to just follow the story......" Shang Yang squinted.
"Hey, the concubine body won't be able to do it, the concubine body has already been thought about." Pouting, Kaguya said disdainfully.
"Let's talk about it." As he spoke, Shang Yang didn't know where to pick up a cup of tea and began to taste it slowly.
"Of the suitors, there are five of them with the highest status," Kaguya said, folding her fan, "and I'm going to ask them for ...... Well, don't sue you! β
"Cough cough cough ......" Shang Yang was directly choked......
Afternoon. Penglai Mountain Hui night blind date meeting
Please ignore the name or something, anyway, Kaguya makes her request, and the suitors must find the treasure Kaguya asked for to give her.
The first is the prince of caryophyllus.
After the prince of caryophyllum entered the inner room, Kaguya behind the curtain spoke softly.
"In the land of the far west, there is a treasure called 'Daintrian's Bookshelf', which contains 900,666 fantasy books that record the wisdom of demons, and I asked the prince to bring them for his concubine."
β¦β¦ Ha?!
Shang Yang, who was sitting on the side with a demonic aura, suddenly had black lines on his face, and he always felt that his behavior of letting Kabaya get in touch with otaku culture over the years would make Taketori Monogatari become a pit daddy story...... Daintrian's bookshelf, Kaguya, how do you want this thing!
The prince of Shizhu went out with a puzzled face, and Shang Yang increased his forehead with his hand, and he couldn't bear to look directly at this poor man.
The right minister came in second, and behind the curtain, Kaguya also spoke softly.
"In a corner of the world, there is a girl named Xana, she is a fire mist warrior who secretly protects humanity from being devoured by the Red World Disciples and has signed a contract with the Red World Demon God, please find her and bring her to the concubine."
Burst!
Shang Yang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, Hui Ye, let this right minister old man go to Xia Na, do you think he died fast enough, don't talk about how he can go to the world, even if he finds it, I'm afraid my first reaction is to cut this old man, are you borrowing a knife to kill people......
[Poof!] ]
Miss Taketori almost wanted to squirt blood, but at this moment, Miss Lordgod felt that this time, Taketori Monogatari was over......
Similarly, the right minister also went out with a puzzled face, and Shang Yang sighed, old man, let's go.
Da Nayan is the third, Kaguya couldn't help but laugh and said.
"Somewhere in my country, there is a woman named Rin Tosaka, and the black silk stockings she wears are a supreme treasure, please go and fetch them for her concubine, and if you can, draw a portrait of her and bring them back."
I'll go!
Shang Yang can't look directly at Kaguya, get killed, this person must be killed, whether it can be found or not, peeking at Miss Rin's black silk is a dead end. I don't need to do it, if he dares to go to the Moon World, I guarantee that tens of thousands of people will immediately pass over to dismember him, and it is estimated that there is a certain head surnamed Chen, who is definitely going to take the imperial fleet with him. Kaguya, I'll swallow you anyway, if you continue to talk about it, it will cause tragedy in the world......
Sending this great man away with extremely compassionate eyes, Shang Yang sighed, as he could ......
Then came the fourth Nakayan, Kaguya coughed lightly and continued.
"There is a writer in my country, whose name is Hikaru Sugii, who wrote a novel called "The Notebook of God", which has a great plot, and is a rare and good book, please go and get all the volumes for the concubine."
OK...... What a sister!
Although it seems to be much simpler, it still can't be good or bad, and this novel won't be written until a thousand years later, so this time it ignores the timeline......
Watching Zhong Nayan, who was obviously happy, leave, Shang Yang supported his forehead, and I knew the truth with tears of laughter......
The last one, Fujiwara is not better than others.
Shang Yang glanced at him casually, Fujiwara Bubi and others have not changed much compared to ten years ago, but, in Shang Yang's eyes, Fujiwara Bubi and others have changed, he is sick, he has a disease called power, and those in history who died soon after not having rights, power has become a part of his life, if he takes away his power now, I believe he will die soon.
Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, awake to the power of the world. This is almost every man's dream, but Shang Yang thinks that he still only needs his sister's knee pillow......
sighed, Shang Yang continued to watch the play.
Kaguya looked at Shang Yang on the side and smiled, what Ai experienced ten years ago, she had already heard Shang Yang say, although Shang Yang felt that it was not interesting to rectify a slave of power now, and love would no longer care about him, but this did not prevent Kaguya from wanting to vent for love and brush the idea of love's favorability (fog).
Clearing her throat, Kaguya said.
"The concubine heard that on the other side of the sea, in the Tang Dynasty, a country like a high heaven, there is an artifact that has been passed down since ancient times and is a symbol of the power of the gods of the previous dynasties - the jade seal and the clan bi, please go and get it for the concubine.
"This, this ......" Fujiwara didn't wait for the words, and a cold sweat broke out, how dare he go to the idea of fighting Tang's Zhenguo artifact.
But even so, Fujiwara gritted his teeth and withdrew.
You're going to kill Fujiwara, Kaguya.
Watching Fujiwara Bubi and others leave, Shang Yang sincerely grieved for him, the first four pieces can be said to be a pit father, something they can't find no matter how they find it, but Fujiwara is not the same as the treasure they are looking for, where it is very clear to everyone, it is in the Hanyuan Hall of Chang'an Daming Palace, the capital of the Tang Empire, but the key question is, did Fujiwara not wait for him to dare to go to Chang'an Daming Palace to ask Tang Tianzi to give him the jade seal of the country? I'm afraid that as soon as he finishes speaking, he will be beheaded by His Royal Highness Han Yuan.
Even if he stole it, even if he stole it, and brought the heirloom jade seal back to the eleventh district, it is estimated that he will be followed by all the water troops of the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that there are still 100,000 army elites on it, maybe even the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry (1) can be sent.
May my Lord Jingle bless you......
Seeing Fujiwara not waiting to leave, Kaguya stood up happily, stretched his waist a little indecently, walked in front of Shang Yang in a few steps, and said with a smile.
"Shang Yang, let's go, the concubine is going to soak in the hot spring, last night's hot pot is very delicious, and the concubine is going to eat tonight!" The concubine body has to chase all night tonight, you accompany the concubine to watch it~"
Said their requirements one by one, Kaguya didn't mean to be polite to Shang Yang at all.
"Ha ......"
Sighing, Shang Yang stood up helplessly, summoned the Yuan Shen Qinglian, and then left.
FUJIWARA KYYO. Fujiwara Mansion
Fujiwara Bubi waited for a gloomy face to return to the house, and when the people saw his face, they all hurriedly avoided it, not daring to say a word.
Over the years, with the increase of Fujiwara's power, his majesty at home has also become heavier, and he has always kept a straight face, and the house has become much deserted in the past few years.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, a beautiful girl greeted her and asked Fujiwara about it.
"Sister Hong, this is not something you should ask, go back to your room!" Fujiwara did not wait for the girl to shout.
Meihong was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped aside, Fujiwara didn't wait or look at her, and walked straight to the study.
Mei Hong watched her father go away and lowered her head lonely.
