After Hideyori left the main hall, the conversation between Lady Yodo and the others did not end. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the expression when she first came to the main hall, Lady Yodo's face has been so gloomy since she just mentioned the birth of Kunichiyo.

The elder Katagiri and Yuan and the close attendant Osamu Ohno also noticed her mood at this time, so they didn't dare to say anything.

At the end of all the reports, Mrs. Yodo suddenly said this sentence from her mouth:

"It seems that the only good news this time is the news of the death of Yasuma-sama......"

When Mrs. Yodo said this, she was completely inadvertently said sincerely. Although she didn't care much about this kind of revelation, she scared the old man and Yuan a lot.

This lady ...... You can't speak, right......

Ji Yuan quickly looked around, and after confirming that no other retainers or maids were present except for his own people, he was relieved and relieved.

The reason why Gen was so nervous just now was actually because the "Yasumasa-sama" that Mr. Yodo had just said was the famous general of the Tokugawa family, Yasumasa Sakakihara.

This Yasumasa is a genealogy of the Tokugawa family, and he is a fierce general who is listed among the names of "The Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa" and "The Sixteen Divine Generals of Tokugawa". And this fierce general, who had followed Ieyasu all his life, died of illness in Tatebayashi Castle not long ago.

In other words, the words that came out of the mouth of the husband just now were obviously happy that the Tokugawa family had lost a fierce general.

Rejoicing in this mood is certainly a common feeling that all people who are really partial to the Toyotomi family will have after hearing about it, but ...... No one will blatantly say it directly, and no one will dare to say it blatantly.

Because as long as the samurai knows a little bit about politics and affairs, if this kind of words are heard by the Tokugawa family, then they don't know what will happen.

So Ji Yuan was very flustered just now, and he glanced around to see if there were any maids or retainers eavesdropping.

"Husband, ma'am! What are you talking about! ”

And Yuan can only use the way of interjecting a sentence from time to time to alleviate the gloomy atmosphere that currently permeates the main hall. At the same time, he frowned a little and looked at Osamu Ohno, who was sitting next to him without saying a word, as if he was complaining to the chief about why he didn't stop Mrs. Yodo's unrestrained words.

"The old minister has taken his leave in advance."

Sighing, after reporting this, and Yuan left the main hall a little tired.

But some of the deliberations in the main hall are not over.

After Jiyuan left, there were several other henchmen of Mrs. Yodo.

"Chacha-sama, are you calling us?"

The two who walked in were the Great Treasury Bureau and the Court Bureau. They straightened out their clothes on their slightly obese bodies and sat down beside Mrs. Yodo.

Both of them are trusted servants of Lady Yodo. The Ōzo Ōkiō is the nurse of Mrs. Yodo and the mother of Osamu Ohno. The mother of the court bureau is the daughter of Asai Ryomasa, and she herself is one of Mrs. Yodo's nurses. In other words, they are all cronies who grew up with Mrs. Yodo.

"Lord Chacha, I think you seem to be worried about something?"

It is worthy of the Great Treasury Bureau, who has accompanied Mrs. Diandian for decades, and immediately saw her worried look.

"You heard it outside just now, right?"

Mrs. Yodo lifted her cheeks slightly, and the gloom on her face had not yet dissipated.

"It's Ajiang's business."

"Ah, it's the fact that Lord Ajiang gave birth to another boy."

"yes."

Looking at the sad color on Lady Dian's face, the Great Treasury Bureau asked speculatively:

"Could it be that you are a little worried because the heirs of the Tokugawa family are increasing day by day?"

“…… Or Ohzo, you know me. ”

Lady Yodo sighed lightly, and then said:

"There are many heirs to the Tokugawa family, but our Toyotomi family does not have one. Not to mention Xiulai, Xiuguang's age is still young, and his health is not very good. ”

"After all, Miss Chihime is not at that age yet. Lord Chacha, don't be in a hurry about this matter. ”

Thinking of Qianhime, the Great Treasury Secretary couldn't help but smile.

They are all people who have a deep relationship with the Asai family, so when they treat Chihime, the daughter of Ajiang who is also from the Asai family, they are still more caring and loving.

However, at this time, the Great Treasury Bureau noticed that Mrs. Yodo, who usually smiles when she mentions Qianhime, actually became more and more gloomy at this time.

“…… Chacha-sama? ”

The Great Treasury Bureau suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Ah Qian is not yet at that age, it doesn't mean that Xiu Lai is not at that age."

I saw Mrs. Yodo say this.

The Great Treasury Bureau also immediately understood what Mrs. Yodo wanted to express, and was immediately shocked:

"Tea, Tea-sama, don't you want Hideyori-sama to set up a side room?!"

As soon as these words came out, both the Court Raising Bureau and the close attendant Osamu Ohno showed surprised expressions without exception.

"yes. Let Xiu Lai stand in the side room, this is the best way to go,"

Her eyes were a little hollow, her words were a little trembling, and Mrs. Yodo looked a little terrible at this time.

"Xiu Lai is already fourteen years old, and Ah Qian is only ten years old."

"Hideyori-sama is only fourteen years old, so just wait another four years or so, right? Chihime ......"

"Do you really want Ah Qianlai to give birth to the heir of the Toyotomi family?!"

Mrs. Yodo suddenly turned her head and yelled at the Great Tibetan Secretary Bureau, who had been admonishing.

“…… In this way, it will only harm Ah Qian. ”

She whispered with worry and uncertainty.

Although her words were full of anxiety and confusion, as well as many complicated feelings that could not be expressed in words, she could feel what she was trying to express.

Alas...... It's really hard to judge, Chacha-sama.

Chacha-sama is undoubtedly fond of Chihime-sama. But......

The Secretariat didn't know how to explain this feeling, so he had to sigh.

"Madame, I agree."

Osamu Ohno, who has not spoken, also spoke.

"At a time like this, having Hideyori-sama set up a side room is also beneficial for the continuation of the Toyotomi family."

After some thought, the court bureau next to it also came to the same opinion as the governor.

"Governor!"

Although he reprimanded his son dissatisfied, he didn't seem to mean to change his mind.

"Then the matter was decided."

Mrs. Yodo finally made this decision,

"I'll leave it to you to choose the candidate for Xiulai's side room, Daizo."

“…… Be. ”

Regarding this matter, the Great Treasury Secretary Bureau, who was worried, had to nod and agree.
