Early the next morning, Tsugawa Castle was in the bedroom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm...."Soji slowly opened his eyes and turned over. What catches your eye is a graceful figure. Thinking of last night's madness, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Soji's mouth.

Soji Tsugawa gently slid his hand on Xiaolan's face beside him, and his movements were very gentle, for fear of waking up the sleeping Xiaolan.

However, it still made Xiaolan, who was sleeping soundly, notice the abnormality. "Ah, Your Highness, are you awake?" Xiaolan opened her eyes, looked at Tsugawa Soji beside her and said.

"Yes, wake up. It's dawn and I'm going to get up and practice kendo. Soji said with a smile.

"Ah" Xiaolan saw that it was already so late, and hurriedly said: "The slave and maid should die, I slept to death for a while, so I got up and prepared breakfast for His Highness" As she spoke, she was about to struggle to get up.

"Okay, you can rest quickly, I hurt you last night," Soji Tsugawa said cheaply.

"Your Highness...," Xiao Lan said with a blushing face.

"Okay, you rest for a while, I'll ask someone to prepare the meal later," Tsugawa said to Xiaolan.

"Hi," Lan replied.

Soji Tsugawa got up and got dressed, picked up Kitagawa's text and walked out. Leaving Xiaolan lying in the quilt, looking at the smile on her face, as if she was still reminiscing about something.....

......

"You two, go to the city to find a cook, from today Xiaolan is not in charge of the food and other chores inside and outside the castle tower, and send someone to inform Saigo Mu-sama, send a few maids to the city, and take care of the living and chores in the castle tower." Soji, who walked out of the castle tower, said to the two flags guarding the castle tower.

"Hi," the two flags replied.

"En" Soji Tsugawa nodded, and left,

"Hey, why don't you think Miss Xiaolan is responsible for cooking? Did he make some mistake and be punished by the Lord? An ashigaru said.

"You stupid, in my eyes, Miss Xiaolan is lucky this time. In the future, maybe we will be called Mrs. Xiaolan. The other achido pouted lightly.

"Lady Xiaolan? You... You mean the lord and the little orchid girl~~~" Ashigaru stammered.

"Isn't this nonsense, I didn't see when the lord got up today, I must have been tired last night," said the other with a wicked smile.

"Then it can't be said that she will become a lady, Miss Xiaolan is just a maid after all, and besides, didn't there be news two days ago that the lord is going to marry the princess of the Shimono SD Township?" Ashigaru asked, puzzled.

"Cut, you don't understand. Although the lord is about to marry the main room, but the position of this side room should still have a share of Miss Xiaolan, after all, in these years, a good lord like our lord is rare. The other ashigaru sighed,

"Well, that's what I said," Ashigaru said regretfully, "Won't you never smell the smell of Miss Xiaolan's cooking again?" As soon as I said that, I was hungry again....."

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat, don't hurry up and do what the lord ordered just now." The other ashigaru scolded.

"Yes, yes, let's go."

"Let's go, you go to Kakuyama Castle to inform Lord Saigo, and I'll go to the city to find a cook."

"Why didn't you go to Hornhill City?"

"What's the matter? To go or not to go? Did you owe me 5 cents last night? Why don't you pay me back now? ”

"Don't don't, can't I go......"

......

"Mabei, I called you here because I have something to ask you." Soji Tsugawa took off his samurai suit, which had been soaked with sweat, and said to Kuroda Iekane.

"Hi," Kuroda replied.

"Have all the gifts from the Togo family been delivered?" Soji took a sip of water and said.

"Returning to my lordship, the things you ordered were personally delivered by your subordinates yesterday," Kuroda replied.

"Well, what did the Dongxiang family say?"

"The Togo family is very grateful for the gift from the family, and Togo Yoshiyu-sama said that he would choose a good day to send his wife to Tsugawa Castle as soon as possible." Kuroda Iekane replied.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and continued, "How's the wedding preparations?" ”

"All the objects of the wedding, Lord Xixiang Muzao is preparing, and the lord of this wedding, in addition to the retainers of the family, do you need to invite other wealthy families to watch the ceremony?" Kuroda Iekane replied.

Zongji thought for a while and said, "Forget it, it's an eventful time, it's better not to invite outsiders, just invite the retainers of the family to Tsugawa Castle." In addition, during the wedding, the guards of each city should not be slackened in the slightest, so as not to be taken advantage of by other wealthy families. ”

"Hi," Kuroda said Kane, "My lord, do you have any other orders?" ”

"Well, besides, my maid Xiaolan, I've decided to include it as a side room," Soji said with a smile.

"Hey, congratulations." Kuroda Iekane looked at Soji Tsugawa with eyes that all men understand.

"However, marrying the lady of the main room is imminent, considering the face of the Dongxiang family, it is not appropriate to make a big deal at this juncture, so I will inform the whole leader, saying that His Royal Highness has accepted Xiaolan as a side room."

"Yes, my lord"

"In addition, Xiaolan has an older brother named Miki Naogo. Now he is working as a foot light in Iwatani Castle, and he has been promoted to be the head of the foot light team. Soji Tsugawa said to Kuroda Iekane.

Kuroda Iekane hurriedly said, "Hey, lord. Yoshikawa-sama also sent a message saying that Miki-sama was brave and stood out in ashigaru training, and now he is the leader of the Iwatani Castle Taisword Ashigaru squad. ”

"Oh?" Soharu Tsugawa said in surprise, "Is there such a thing? Yes, it makes me very happy, after all, he has won this honor by his own efforts, so as not to let others gossip. ”

"Hi. Congratulations to the lord for getting another talent," Kuroda said happily.

"Well, it's okay, you go back and continue training" Soji Tsugawa nodded and said to Kuroda Iekane.

"Hi"

.......

"Xiaolan, why don't you sleep more?" Tsugawa Soji, who was approving the official document, saw Xiaolan come behind him and hugged him, turned his head and said.

"Your Highness, it's almost noon, and the slaves and maids can't sleep. Besides, slave maid, slave maid also thinks a little bit about His Royal Highness. Xiaolan said with a smile.

"You've only missed me just past the morning?" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Xiaolan nodded heavily and said.

"By the way, Xiaolan, I have already asked the real guard to send an order to inform the collar, you are now the wife of my side room of Tsugawa Soji, and you don't need to call yourself a slave in the future." Soji Tsugawa patted Xiaolan's hand and said.

Xiaolan couldn't believe her ears as if she had misheard. "Lady of the Side Room?" Xiaolan said in surprise.

Seeing Xiaolan's disbelieving eyes, Soji Tsugawa hurriedly said, "Yes, Mrs. Side Room." But I can't hold a wedding, I've wronged you."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Xiaolan said excitedly. She didn't expect Soji to give her a name. You must know that the maid at this time is the private property of the samurai, let alone sleeping for a night, you can cut and kill at will. Having such a title, even if it is only a side room, will indicate that she has gone from a slave to a noble lady in one fell swoop......

"Well, you deserve it." Soji smiled and said, "In addition, you don't have to worry about the clutter in the castle tower in the future, I have already ordered someone to rearrange the cook." And let someone inform Saigo Kichang to rearrange a few maids, and you will arrange these people in the future. ”

Xiaolan immediately fell to the ground and said, "Hey, the slave must manage these people well and take care of the affairs in the castle for His Highness." ”

Zongzhi shook his head, "I said don't call yourself a slave, I will also be the side room lady of His Royal Highness in the future, pay attention, did you hear it?" ”

"Yes," Xiaolan said embarrassedly, and for a while she couldn't adapt to the change in her identity.

"Slave, concubine, let's go to see if lunch is ready" Xiaolan almost made a mistake, and quickly changed her words.

"Well, let's go" After speaking, Zongzhi buried his head in approving the official document again.

......

"Your Highness, is it delicious?" During the meal, Xiaolan said to Zongzhi.

"It's okay, but it's not as delicious as my Xiaolan's cooking," Soji said with a smile.

"Hehe, then slave," Seeing Zongzhi glaring at her, Xiaolan immediately realized something, and continued, "The concubine will make food for His Highness when she has time in the future." ”

"Well, the maid sent by Lord Saigo has also arrived, you can arrange it after eating, I'll leave to discuss some things with the real guards later." Soji said casually. After speaking, as if thinking of something, he turned his head and continued, "I'll go back and rest for a while when I'm done." Don't be too tired these days, Your Highness will be distressed. ”

"Well, I know Your Highness," Xiaolan said happily.

......

Soji Tsugawa, who walked out of the castle tower, looked at the blue sky, sighed and said, "Alas, it is true that the king will not reign sooner from now on." Gentle Township, Gentle Township, don't fall into it. My ambition of Tsugawa Soji, I can't just give up halfway like this" After speaking, he settled down and strode away.
