Xiuguang temporarily calmed down, stabilized his state in front of Xiukang, and then greeted with a smile,

"Sister Xiukang, Xiuguang has come to visit you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

This "sister" made Xiukang feel very uncomfortable. Although she is nominally Xiuguang's sister-in-law, and she also has many biological brothers and sisters, no one has ever called her that. Xiuzhong and Zhongji have always referred to themselves by the official name of "Your Excellency Major General".

However, although he was a little uncomfortable, Xiukang reluctantly accepted the title. In her opinion, Xiuguang is just an eight-year-old child, and it is understandable to call this kind of thing. In her eyes, Xiuguang, a child, looks quite delicate, with a very friendly face, which makes people look very comfortable.

If memory serves, he should be two years younger than Nagayoshimaru. Xiukang looked at the child in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his eldest man.

"I came here a few days ago, mainly because I heard that Sister Hideyasu was going to hold a sumo tournament in Fushimi Castle. I have been listening to people in my family talk about the past, and I have heard a lot about your deeds, so I don't admire you very much. I hope I can watch this conference! ”

Xiuguang succinctly explained his intentions and expressed his respect to Xiukang.

"Oh, I see. Speaking of His Royal Highness's visit this time, did Mrs. Yodo know? ”

"Mother doesn't know. I hope Sister Xiukang doesn't tell her mother, or I'll be blamed. ”

Xiuguang tried his best to pretend to be pitiful. And when Xiukang saw it, he hooked the corners of his mouth,

"I see. Hideyasu welcomes His Highness to watch the sumo tournament. It's just that His Royal Highness is noble and can't appear in the crowd at will, so please follow my retainer Honda Genshiro Tomimasa to another observation deck to watch. I'm so sorry that I can't stay with His Highness for a long time because of my status as the organizer. ”

Hideyasu's retainer Mototomi immediately appeared to the side and led the three of them to a hidden observation deck.

While walking in the aisle of the mansion, Xiuguang couldn't help but grab the corner of Fuzheng's clothes and asked:

"Lord Fuzheng, does Sister Xiukang have any disease? She looked so haggard. ”

Fu Zheng glanced at Xiuguang, hesitated for a while, and replied:

"Lord Xiukang, I'm not sick. It's just a sickness of worry. ”

After speaking, Fu Zheng kept silent.

Xiuguang felt very strange, and thought carefully for a while, but he couldn't figure it out.

……

……

After dealing with Xiuguang's affairs, Xiukang returned to the conference venue.

"Father, the little highness of the Toyotomi family has arrived. I've already told Tomimae to take him to the observation deck. ”

The first thing she had to do at this time was to report what had just happened to her father, Ieyasu.

"That's right. I wonder what he talked about with His Excellency the Major General? ”

Ieyasu was clearly pleased with Hideyasu's move.

"Actually, he didn't say anything, he just greeted me like a child, saying that he admired me."

"Oh, like a child, the same?"

Ieyasu was intrigued and stroked his beard with his hand.

"Your Excellency, can I ask you one thing?"

"Father, please tell me, Xiukang will do it."

"Haha, it's not a big deal. After the sumo tournament, I would like to meet this child. ”

"I see, Father. I'll arrange it later. ”

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency."

"Father, please excuse me, this is what an unfilial daughter should do."

Xiukang hesitated for a moment, but she immediately covered it up and nodded in agreement.

……

……

After Mototomi brought the three of them to the observation deck, he left immediately in order not to disturb the three of them.

Hidemitsu looked at the sumo wrestling match below, a little absent-minded.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, it's rare to have a sumo wrestling match to watch, why do you look like you're on your mind?"

Sensing that something was wrong with Xiuguang, Xiuzong shifted his gaze from the game to him, lowered his voice, and asked a little strangely.

"Xiuzong, don't you think there's something wrong with Lord Xiuyasu's appearance? And what Honda-sama said just now is really incomprehensible. ”

"Ah, indeed. Lady Xiuyasu, it's really different. ”

"What's different?"

"Your Highness, do you know what a smile looks like when people smile from the heart?"

Xiuzong suddenly asked Xiuguang,

"The smile that comes from the heart is really beautiful. I've seen it with Hideyasu-sama before. Before Taiko-sama died, Hideyasu-sama accompanied him with Bizen-sama Ukita-sama. I had just come to Toyotomi's house as a hostage, and I happened to be there. Hideyasu-sama's smile is that kind of smile. ”

Xiuzong frowned and continued:

"But not now. Your Highness, you have also noticed, although Lord Xiuyasu laughed several times just now, but that feeling ...... And, for some reason, Hideyasu-sama is really much haggard than before. ”

"yes. I don't know why it's like this. ”

Xiuguang remembered the history books about Xiukang that he had read before. I remember that Xiukang seems to have died of illness, and the time of death is not far away.

In order to find out the reason, Xiuguang is thinking hard.

"That, Your Highness...... Didn't you just hear what Honda-sama said about 'worrying', and Shang and Shang thought it might be the reason......

Shang Chang, who had no sense of existence on the side, just suddenly spoke weakly, but Xiuguang's brain circuit was instantly cleared up a little.

"Well, what Shang Chang said makes sense. But who is this 'worry' worried about......"

"Uh-huh! I've never heard of anyone I've been thinking about......"

The three of them talked quietly on the side for a long time, but nothing came out of the discussion. Therefore, Xiuguangjue decided to put this matter aside and "watch" the game with peace of mind.

"Well, it should be Ieyasu......"

Xiuguang's eyes saw an old man sitting in a certain direction who was leisurely watching the game.

"The Kwai family crest, it's him."

There was nothing intimidating about Ieyasu, who sat next to Hideyasu, dressed in a blue-black kimono, cross-legged like an ordinary old man, waving a fan, and watching the game with great interest.

"Home, Ieyasu-sama, it's not so good, it's terrible......"

Shocho, whose impression of Ieyasu had been completely cleansed, looked at him with a wince.

"Don't keep looking at him, Shang Chang."

Xiuguang stopped Shang Chang's eye movement and motioned for him to turn his head to look away.

"He'll come to us in person. Now you don't want to stare at him. ”

Watch it for a long time, be careful of being targeted. Xiuguang thought silently in his heart.

The three of them pretended to be three ordinary children and watched the game below from the observation deck until the end of the whole meeting.

The atmosphere at the game scene was relaxed, but the relaxed atmosphere on Xiuguang's side was all performed. Because on the Tokugawa family's turf, they had no idea when something was going to happen.

As the sun sets, Xiuguang finally receives Xiukang's invitation. No, it should be said that it was an invitation from the other.

"Your Highness Hidemitsu, my father, Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, would like to see you and catch up with you. Please come with me. ”
