"There's some truth to what you're saying," I added after a moment of silence, "especially the 'if it's discussed as a family matter.'" ”

"What do you mean, Father?" Wasuka Keikatsu asked tentatively.

"I mean, can this be discussed as a family matter?" I looked at him seriously, "I know that you have been fighting with Zhou Jing for a long time, and you are very competitive with his ability and character, and Zhou Jing himself is also very competitive. However, it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Kamikawa cannot be allowed to succeed the main room...... He is already the eldest son, and if he gives him the title of son-in-law, where will he be placed in the current family governor's letter? ”

"This, Erchen didn't think about it so much!" Wasuka Keikatsu looked surprised.

"So this is your private suggestion," I nodded, "Then you go back and meet Akitsu, and then go back to Shikoku and ask your father why he is also a son-in-law, Gamo Nobuhide and Ii Nobunao can only worship the character 'Xuan', but you, like Renmu Keimasa, worship the character 'Jing' as the common character of the clan." ”

"Your Majesty is terrified!" Wasuka Keikatsu finally understood what a terrible suggestion he had just made, "This is really just the idea of the minister...... Your Majesty, go back and reflect! ”

With that, he bowed deeply to me and exited the room.

I looked at his back and shook my head slightly. His proposal to let Xiao Xia succeed to the main room just now, I really thought about it seriously. Personally, Xiao Xia is my most cherished side room, and I also know that she has always been worried about this matter, and even Baoxinyuan used to feel regretful. However, she is Zhou Jing's mother, and if she is appointed as the main room, it is likely to shake the status of the new family governor Xinjing. Moreover, in terms of her jealous surname, it is also inappropriate to be the main room, for example, this time when she learned that Nana died, Yu Jia immediately rushed from Imabari Castle to help preside over the funeral, receive the relatives of her colleagues who came to mourn, and also help preside over the affairs of the Forgotten Sorrow Temple, but Xiao Xia stayed in Kira Castle with the surname, saying that she wanted to take care of her daughter-in-law Akiko, who was under house arrest...... What is this?

Originally, I had planned to leave the main room empty for the time being, firstly to avoid disputes, and secondly, to remember Nana. However, as I questioned Keikatsu, this is no longer a simple family matter, let alone a matter of me, and the colleagues in the Oda system who want to strengthen ties with me, the daimyo who are attached to the family on the periphery, and the vassals who have their own calculations in the family are all very concerned about the candidate for this position! It's only been a few days, and there have been suggestions from Oda Nobutaka, Otomo Sorin, and Wasuka Keikatsu, and if it drags on for a while, it is estimated that the situation will be even more complicated!

So, if you have to set up a steproom, who should you set up?

A figure who was always busy soon jumped into my mind. That's Yuga.

If you think about it, since I don't plan to marry her, she is indeed the most suitable person at the moment. Although in terms of origin, she is not as noble as Janet, and even less than Xiao Xia, and in terms of feelings, she is far less intimate than Xiao Xia and me, but in addition to the free and easy Naohu, she is the most knowledgeable of the few, and she is also my first woman.

What's more, her son Jing Zheng, who has now left the Renmu family, cannot shake Xinjing's status; Her daughters, Mitsu and Yutsu, are married to Gamo Nobuhide and Oda Nobutaka respectively, and if she is appointed as a stepfamily, it can not only further win over the Gamo family, but also express support for Oda Nobutaka, which can be regarded as an explanation of his previous enthusiasm.

Let's take over as the main room! I made this decision in my heart.

……，…… Two days later, after the first seven days of Nana's burial, I gathered all the retainers in Kyoto and announced the candidates for the stepfamily.

"My successor has been decided to be Mrs. Yuga."

This choice obviously surprised the retainers, and for a while, everyone did not receive the order immediately, and some people couldn't help but turn their heads and ears.

As a result, the deadlock was broken by Keikatsu Beesuka, who was at the top of the list of ministers and had been beaten by me not long ago.

"There is a lord in the inner hall of the main hall, which is really gratifying!" He bowed down and was the first to express his approval.

And seeing that the son-in-law of the Wasuka family and the son-in-law of the Zong family said this, the rest of the people also came back to their senses and echoed his opinion.

"Yes, that's a great deal!"

"Mrs. Yujia is virtuous and virtuous, and if she presides over the family affairs of the main hall (lord), it is a blessing for the family!"

......, "Then it was decided." I nodded with satisfaction, and asked the maid to ask Yu Jia to accept everyone's advance.

Yujia was also clearly caught off guard. I just told her not to go to the Forgotten House today, waiting in my inner room, and didn't tell her the news. Perhaps, when she heard my command, she thought that I had decided to pamper her, so she smiled a little shyly; And when the maids helped her out to meet her retainers at my command, her shame disappeared immediately, and the expression on her face became very surprised, even terrified.

"Yujia, I'll continue to ask you in the future!" I whispered encouragement to her.

"Yes." Yu Jia agreed, tried to calm down, and accepted everyone's advance.

However, as soon as she returned to the inner room, she immediately regained her panicked expression.

"Let's ask Your Highness to take back your fate!" She knelt down and said.

"It's already been announced, how can it be taken back?" I looked at her earnestly. I had expected her reaction, and I didn't consult her in advance, but I knew that she would try her best to refuse.

"However, how can the concubine afford the position of the main room!" She muttered, "The concubine is from a humble background, and she doesn't even have a Miao character ......."

"Since he served as the main room and became the stepmother of Xinjing, then he should be honored as Imabari Hall or Daigodai from now on, and it doesn't matter if there is a Miao character or not. If you really don't mind, just use my Kira family's Miao characters," I explained her, and then said encouragingly, "Actually, it's very easy to make a main room, just like you normally...... Of course, now because of the different identities, sometimes I have to be more self-conscious. ”

"Yes," Yu Jia agreed obediently, but the panicked expression on her face hadn't completely disappeared, "It's just that if Xiao Xia knew, she would be very angry!" ”

"That's also something that can't be helped," Speaking of Xiao Xia, I also felt very helpless. However, for the sake of the family's Antai, I had to wronged her: "I will try to convince her." You can do your own thing with peace of mind. ”

"The concubine is ordered," Yu Jia looked at me worriedly, "Then the concubine is still back in the Forgotten Courtyard." ”

"Yes, go ahead!" I nodded.

Just as Yuga feared, when the news reached Shikoku, Konatsu soon came to Kyoto. She was really very dissatisfied, and when she found me in Lin Guangyuan, she immediately angrily pulled my clothes and went to the inner room, leaving a room of worshippers looking at each other.

"Your Highness! What the hell is going on! She shouted loudly, trying to overwhelm me with momentum, "Why Yuga? ”

"Why can't it be Yuga?" I asked calmly, "She is my earliest side room, according to the order of order, shouldn't she be the successor to the main room?" ”

"However, Yuka's status is so low...... She didn't even come from a martial arts family, and she didn't even have the word Miao! Xiao Xia pointed out unconvinced.

"As a side room of the Kira family, the status is not low," I was still very calm, "If you say that there is no Miao character, then how does 'Kira Yuka' sound?" …… Anyway, the matter has been decided. ”

Hearing me say so resolutely, Xiao Xia was even more angry. She raised her head and glared at me with big black eyes, her chest rising and falling sharply with anger.

"What, aren't you convinced?" I held back the pity in my heart, hardened my heart and said, "Don't look at what you did?" Nana passed away, Yu Jia hurriedly rushed over, helping inside and out, but you made a small surname and stayed in Kira Castle in anger......"

"The concubine is taking care of Akiko!" Xiao Xia shouted, "She's three or four months pregnant!" ”

"Akiko is three or four months pregnant?" I was very surprised, "Why haven't you heard Zhou Jing say it before?" ”

"It was a critical moment to determine the family's major policies, and Zhou Jing said that he didn't want to interfere with His Highness's decision with this kind of thing...... Because of these reasons, Mingzi's mood is very low and a little unstable, and Zhou Jing is now going to Kyushu again, so the concubine has to stay in Kira City to take care of her, lest she can't think of doing something stupid! Nana glared at me, and looked very indignant in her words, "Really, I didn't figure out the situation, so I blamed the concubine without authorization!" ”

"This ......" I fell silent. Reasoning, I blamed her wrong, and I should apologize to her. But at this juncture, I can't show weakness to her, lest she become more arrogant.

"Could it be that the status of the concubine in His Highness's heart is not as good as Yu Jia?" Seeing that I was still with a tiger face, Xiao Xia's anger was even more disappointed, "Caicai was still there before, and the concubine endured it......"

"It's not a question of who to pamper...... You know, even Nana wasn't as favored as you when she was alive," I seized on the loophole in her words and took the opportunity to fight back, "But the location of the main room means a huge responsibility. Can you take this responsibility? ”

Xiao Xia was speechless for this question. She knows that in terms of taking responsibility, she is not only inferior to the general knowledge of vegetables, but also inferior to Yu Jia, who is responsible for family affairs.

It's time to stop...... I think with satisfaction.

However, I obviously underestimated her persistence and underestimated her anger. She was stunned for a moment, but then she suddenly came over and grabbed my arm and bit me down.

"Ahh I couldn't help but exclaim. Now I know what it's like to hate itchy...... "Let it go!" …… Shut up! I yelled.

"Don't let it go!" Xiao Xia was really fooled, and opened her mouth to talk to me. So I took the opportunity to pull my arm out of the tiger's mouth.

However, when he found out that he had fallen for me, Xiao Xia coldly grabbed my other arm and bit it down again.

"You crazy!" I was so angry that I couldn't break free for a while, so I had to fight with her regardless of my image.

Gradually, her clothes were torn, and then my clothes were also torn off by her, and the two of them rolled to the ground with their bodies on their heads. At this time, the anger had completely turned into passion, I pressed on her delicate body, rubbed her ** vigorously with both hands, and stabbed my lower body into her body.

"Look at how dare you rebel!" I scolded as I straightened her waist and sprinted in and out of her body.

"It's just going to rebel!" Xiao Xia twisted her thin waist and reflexively occupied the upper position. So I was depressed and found that if she was serious, I really couldn't subdue her. In terms of close-fitting skills, she has a clear advantage when she grew up in the mountains.

However, as the ups and downs continued, Xiao Xia began to moan coquettishly, and her body gradually softened. I took the opportunity to fall sideways and crush her underneath. This time she didn't resist again, and obediently accepted the caresses I gave her.

When I was about to reach the top, she suddenly came back to her strength, twisted my supported arm with her backhand, and pinched hard where she had bitten before. This action of hers, I know, is deliberate, to vent the anger in my heart. But at this time, I couldn't stop, so I had to endure it patiently, and turn all this depressed mood and the enthusiasm accumulated in the past two or three months into energy and vent it in her body.

"Are you satisfied?" When I was done, I gasped and stretched my bruised arm out in front of her eyes. Really, her bite was not light, how could she still resist pinching? Fortunately, the weather was still cold, and when I was bitten by her before, I was still wearing a cotton shirt, otherwise I would have had to cause a bloody crime.

"En......" Xiao Xia snorted, opening her eyes and looking at me, her eyes were so charming that they seemed to be dripping water.

"Speaking of which, you dare to yell at me and bite me with your mouth open." I sighed without complaint.

"Concubines don't usually dare," Xiao Xia laughed, "I dared to offend just now, and I just relied on that anger!" ”

"So is the anger out now?"

"It's gone," Xiao Xia sighed, "Actually, the concubine body also knows that it is not easy to serve as the main room of His Royal Highness, at least like Cai Cai and Yu Jia, the concubine body will definitely not be able to do it." However, if she gives up this position, the concubine is really unwilling...... Your Highness, the concubine is really unwilling! ”

"How about you just take care of it?" I gently stroked her loose hair, "In this era, who can do what they want?" Even if it's me, don't I be involuntary a lot of the time? ”

Natsu closed her eyes and enjoyed my touch. After being silent for a while, she finally nodded: "Yes, the concubine understands." ”

"Then don't be angry." I smiled with relief.

"Don't be angry," Xiao Xia opened her watery eyes again, and then brought the plump ** over and pressed it tightly to my chest, "Although I can't get the position of His Highness's main room, but the position of His Highness's pillow, the concubine body must occupy it!" ”
