"Ahh

Xiuguang, who was now sitting in a luxurious room, suddenly sneezed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Highness, are you alright? It was the same when it was in Kyushu, and it is still now, so it won't get into trouble again, right? ”

Xiuzong next to him remembered his time in Kyushu, so he looked at his Royal Highness with some concern.

"It's okay, it's just that my nose itches suddenly,"

Xiuguang waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, then turned to the other figure in front of him, bent down and bowed his head,

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Prince Zhiren, it was really rude just now."

Xiuguang's voice was respectful, because he was now facing someone of noble status.

"It's fine. Xiuguang, you came here on purpose, you must be tired. ”

The man smiled gently, and then very casually closed the ancient book in his hand and placed it beside him.

This noble person is His Royal Highness Prince Tomohito Hachijonomiya, who secretly helped Hidemitsu on the eve of the Edo riots.

Since it was already evening, Prince Hachijo was wearing a shirt embroidered with 168 chrysanthemums that symbolized the royal family, and it was not a formal shirt, but an ordinary home wear.

By the way, the place where Hidemitsu and the others are now located is in the Hachijonomiya Mansion on Hachijo Street, Kyoto.

On the third day after returning from Kyushu, Hidemitsu secretly came to Kyoto and met Prince Hachijo. Of course, this time, like last time, it was a covert break-in.

Maybe it's because of the precedent of the last time, or maybe it's because of his own gentle and unfazed personality, so Prince Hachijo was not very surprised, but immediately closed the door of the Japanese room and invited Hidemitsu and Hidemune to sit down.

Speaking of which, this time Xiuguang only brought Xiuzong and Iris Shinai. And Shang Chang is responsible for staying behind to take care of the house as always. Xiuguang probably thinks that Shang Chang is still more reliable in terms of staying behind, so when he is usually in action, he has developed the habit of going out to take Xiuzong and staying behind with Shang Chang.

Well...... As for Shang Chang's current mood, it is estimated that he is still as frightened as before. But Xiuguang doesn't know.

"This time, I have come to express my gratitude to you, Your Royal Highness."

Xiuguang leaned down and made a gesture of thanks,

"If it weren't for His Highness's handwritten documents, my trip to Kyushu might not have been able to make any progress."

"No thanks, I just did what I could."

Prince Hachijo didn't care about this, and waved generously, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

"However, according to your statement, this trip should be very smooth, right?"

"It was not smooth, although it was tortuous, but it was also a success in completing the various expected goals perfectly."

"yes, that's congratulations. I live up to your hard work this time. ”

"Yes, so I would like to thank you, Your Royal Highness. This is some of the local specialties I brought back from Kyushu, and they are not particularly valuable, but please smile at them. ”

"Thank you. It's not about value, and I don't really care about that. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen these specialties from faraway places. In the past, Totoko used to bring some to me. ”

Prince Hachijo smiled, then took the gift box containing the special product from Hidemitsu's hand, and looked at it with great interest, but because of the etiquette, Prince Hachijo held back his curiosity and put the gift box aside first.

"Speaking of which, have you ever visited the Kujo family's house? Recently, I heard that the wife of the head of the family, Tadashi, is pregnant, and I am still thinking about when to congratulate her. ”

"Ah, I've already visited this afternoon."

Hearing Prince Hachijo talk about this, Hidemitsu smiled and thought back to the scene this afternoon,

"I didn't expect Sister Wanzi to get pregnant so soon. When I went to visit the Kujo family this afternoon, Sister Wanko was very happy. Tadaei-sama was very shy. ”

Although he was very happy, at the same time Xiuguang ignored one thing.

…… The current finish, it seems that he is only fifteen years old, right?

At the age of fifteen, she became pregnant with a child......

But Xiuguang didn't notice any of this at all. Maybe it's because in this day and age, it's normal to have a baby at this age?

Hawkers, no matter so much. In short, whether it is from the standpoint of a younger brother, or as the young head of the Toyotomi family, it is a thing worthy of Hidemitsu's joy that Wanko is pregnant.

So after he learned the news, he was very serious and happy to congratulate and bless Zhongrong and Wanzi.

If a child is born between the two, the relationship between the Toyotomi family and the minister will be even closer. That's a good thing you can't hope for. And if Wanko can be happy, Hidemitsu will be happy for them.

According to the doctor's approximate time, the child in Wanko's womb will probably be born early next year. And the news of Wanko's pregnancy has not yet been officially told to the Toyotomi family, and Hidemitsu only learned about it because she came. But in a few days, the Toyotomi family should be able to officially receive the news.

Xiuguang was a little worried about the relationship between the two before, after all, the two were married because of politics. The last time I came to visit on the eve of the Edo riots, I saw that the relationship between the two was very harmonious, and Hidemitsu was relieved.

Now that about five months have passed, when Xiuguang comes to visit again, the relationship between the two is still as good as before. And by chance, Hidemitsu also heard that it seems that some time ago, some elders in the Kujou family and other regent families had the idea of letting Tadashi set up a side room, but Tadaei himself refused.

Hearing this, Xiuguang felt more at ease.

"Speaking of which, Hidemitsu, I heard that the Tokugawa family's Hidetada-sama has gone to Beijing."

Prince Hachijo looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace, as if holding back a smile.

"Ah, yes."

Xiuguang paused after listening, and then smiled as well,

"Lord Xiuzhong is really idle. Since last year's Edo riots, Hidetada-sama seems to have been much more relaxed. ”

"Yes, and he specially took the two brothers to Beijing to serve them, what a good brother."

Prince Hachijo said with a smile as he replied.

Both of them probably know the inside story of this matter. Now it's just that it's inconvenient to say it openly, so they just smile at each other.

However, no matter what, Xiuzhong is really pitiful in a sense. Xiuguang thought so.

However, whether Xiuzhong will be a puppet general in accordance with his father Ieyasu's wishes, or whether he will have his own various secret practices, Xiuguang doesn't know.
