Tokugawa Ieyasu returned to his bedroom in Okazaki Honjo and sat silently.
Today, he feels more deeply the complexity of the relationship between husband and wife. Until then, he had always believed that men and women were only opposites. He thought that standing in this position would be enough to deal with the relationship between husband and wife, but today Sena Ji completely subverted his thoughts. The relationship between a man and a woman seems to be completely different from that of a husband and wife.
The problems that can be solved between men and women are like a problem when it comes to couples. If that resistance was rational and well-founded, Tokugawa Ieyasu could have persuaded her or accepted her accusations. But her resistance was only a momentary emotional impulse, with no rational reflection or humility, and she only opened her teeth and claws like a madman.
Could it be that this qiΔ was more resentful to his wife than the physical subjugation, and she couldn't help but resist it? Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that he had to re-examine the stumbling relationship between him and Senahime. Perhaps it is the long-term discord that led to today's outbreak.
The growth paths of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sena Hime are completely different, and what Sena Hime hopes for and what Tokugawa Ieyasu expects seem to be a little incompatible. Tokugawa Ieyasu became more and more accustomed to connecting with the world's life to gain insight into the world, while Sena Hime remained obsessed with personal happiness. If she can get what she wants, that's fine; But the root of her pursuit is a castle in the sky, and according to her personality, it is impossible to laugh at it.
For Tokugawa Ieyasu. If the world is peaceful. He is also not in a hurry to make a marriage contract for a child who is only four or five years old. But the reality is too harsh. Although before the next crisis arrives. There will be a brief peace, but a crisis is inevitable. He needed Sena Ji to understand this, but she didn't pay attention to it at all. Tokugawa Ieyasu gradually discovered that as a samurai, he no longer had the energy and time to convince a woman who was not willing to understand this qiΔ at all.
So, as soon as he thought of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt the anger in his heart burning more and more. There can be no more peace. If she were another woman, she might as well laugh it off and let her stay away, but after all, she was her own wife, and she was Takechiyo's mother.
At this time, near the courtyard where he was, there were still some retainers who had not left, and their hearty chatting and laughter came from the Great Academy. These retainers understood Tokugawa Ieyasu, and they were all overjoyed at the fact that they had openly parted ways with the Imagawa family. And today, when he changed his name for the sake of the family's future, these retainers were equally happy. Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed. You can't think about it anymore. At least tonight, he wants to forget about his unhappiness and have fun with these retainers.
Immediately, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Koheita who was following closely behind: "I'll walk around casually, you don't have to follow." Thinking of Sandaojo unreservedly honoring his maid Keyou, Tokugawa Ieyasu involuntarily raised his feet and walked out of the bedroom.
But you are the maid of his stepmother, Mrs. Hanaein, and when he visited this stepmother, his stepmother saw that he seemed to be a little irritable because of the lack of women for a long time, so he offered the beautiful maid by her side, Keyou, who has always been a good woman, naturally will not refuse, so from that night on, the maid can you become Tokugawa Ieyasu's woman. In Tokugawa Ieyasu's opinion, you have no name, but she has always longed for Tokugawa Ieyasu's affection, but she always controls herself. While he was satisfied with Ke You's appearance at this time, it was just that he immediately thought that if Ke You became a side room, or even a main room, her pursuit would probably change naturally.
In the darkness of the night, it was dark. The Milky Way has not yet appeared, but the night sky is already dotted with stars, twinkling dots. The cool breeze is very pleasant. Tokugawa Ieyasu walked into the middle gate and suddenly remembered Aki. The childlike turtle is always waiting for his father to appear. Discord between husband and wife is a discord between parents in the eyes of a daughter. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu was angry with Senahime, if he made Kame's loneliness, his daughter would be too pitiful. In addition, over the years, she has also lived a miserable hostage life, and it can be said that she has never been happy. Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately quietly changed the direction of travel.
He decided to return to the Tsukiyama Palace and show his face at the brightly lit festival. As long as she shows up, her daughter will be very happy! Although he didn't want to talk to Senahime, he wanted his child to be able to feel his father's love, at least to touch her head, so that she could experience the warmth of his father. After some noise, Sena probably didn't want to come out again. That would be fine, and the child would be happy to see his father's smile.
And his sister-in-law, Takechiyo, really don't know how he is doing at this time in the Enoe-Imagawa family, although I learned from the mouth of Sena Hime, who returned before, that the hostages of the Tokugawa family, including his own sister-in-law, have been restricted in Prima Castle, but their lives are still good, at least they have not been persecuted.
Thinking like this, Tokugawa Ieyasu had already unknowingly come to the front of the palace, but there was not a single light in the courtyard, and there was no noise. Tokugawa Ieyasu opened the wood door and walked in. He hunched over and looked around. In the courtyard, there were only broken tea bowls thrown out by Sena Hime in the afternoon and offerings that had cooled down from the drought, and the surroundings were quiet and very deserted. Tokugawa Ieyasu snorted helplessly, and the anger that had disappeared burned in his chest again. Senahime probably wanted her child to think that it was her father and not her mother, and didn't take the matter seriously.
Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately turned around and walked towards Mido Castle - he shouldn't have come at all, he regretted it. He has all kinds of ways to get rid of unpleasantness, but Sena Hime doesn't. She would only hide her frustration and anger deep in her heart and taste it alone.
After seeing the lights in the residence of Midojo's stepmother, Mrs. Hanaein, Tokugawa Ieyasu stopped and took a deep breath, his heart heavy. He couldn't be as fluttering as he used to be, as if he was falling in love. Go back, or visit Haekeiin and chat about some family life? Just as he was thinking of this, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash in front of your window. The dark shadow was not indoors, but outside the window, peeking in the courtyard. Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but frown, and quietly leaned over to the dark shadow.
"Who?" He asked in a whisper, reproachfully.
"Ah...... Yes? "The other wolf bèi unbearable. It was a young woman.
"Who?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked again.
The other party was even more panicked. Curl up under the window. The voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan. "Please...... Please...... Excuse me. β
"What's your name? Who sent you? β
"You...... You are ......"
"I am the master of this city. What are your intentions to peep here? Say it! β
"Ah, city lord?" But you don't seem to be in the room, and the windows aren't open. "I beg your pardon! I...... I...... I'm Awan. β
"Awan? Awan beside Tsukiyama? β
"Yes...... Be. β
Tokugawa Ieyasu let out a low groan, gritted his teeth hatefully, and then said, "Don't let people notice." Follow me! β
"Yes...... Be...... Be. β
"Don't tremble, stupid!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu felt like he had been poured cold water in winter, and his heart was unusually unhappy. He just walked forward silently. Stars loom in the night sky. There was a worm all around. After leaving Sandao City and walking from Wine Valley to the Hippodrome, he realized that the moon had come out. Although it was the last quarter moon that was about to set, it still seemed dazzling to his eyes, who were accustomed to the night.
"Right here." Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the broken branch of the cherry blossom tree and looked back at Awan, "Tell me what happened, and if there is half a lie, I will not be spared!" "Why ask these things. Tokugawa Ieyasu also felt incredible, but he did suddenly become irritable.
"I beg your pardon!" Awan was no longer shivering like he was before. Under the moonlight. Her face was as dignified as Ke You, but her expression was sad, "It's not Madame's order, it's my own opinion." β
"You want to disobey my orders? Want to maintain Tsukiyama? β
"Nope! No! Awan shook his head seriously, "I don't dare to disobey the orders of the adults...... It is indeed my own decision to do such a rebellious thing. β
"Oh." Tokugawa Ieyasu felt as if he had been tricked by this little woman, and he felt hateful and ridiculous.
This woman accompanied Sena Ji from Sunfu and was Sena's personal maid. If she confided everything her master had ordered, Tokugawa Ieyasu might be even more unhappy.
"I heard that you were born in a family of priests."
"Yes. The father of the family is the Nagami Shimamori of the three pond carp carp Myojin. β
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"A fifteen-year-old woman would take it upon herself to spy on others. Tell me why. Tokugawa Ieyasu asked deliberately sternly.
Awan swallowed fiercely: "I said." β
She replied categorically. This seemed to be a strong woman, and after her mood gradually calmed down, she raised her head to look at Tokugawa Ieyasu, and her eyes flashed with enthusiasm: "Because ...... Because of love. β
"Love?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked in surprise, "You...... Result...... Who do you love? You're in the maid's room. β
"I love adults."
"Nonsense! There is no affection on your face. If you talk nonsense, I won't spare you! β
Awan swallowed again. She fought fiercely in the depths of her heart, her eyes wide open without blinking: "What I say is true. β
"You went to that room because you loved me? Where did you know that I would go there? β
"If you really love someone, you don't need to ...... You don't need to ask, you can know. β
"I know what you're thinking. I envy Madame for having such a maid as you, but will I believe what you say? β
"Whether adults believe it or not, I am telling the truth."
"Haha, okay. Actually, I don't need to ask, I know that Madame ordered you to come and spy on my whereabouts. This is the end of the matter. But why did the lady cancel the ceremony for the turtle? β
"Madame said she was not feeling well, so she rested."
Did she command that the offerings and the sacrificial tables should not be touched? Otherwise, you'll clean up and now you're sacrificing with the turtle. Forget it, don't mention this. Since you are upright by nature, I ask you again, today I quarreled with my wife, who do you think is right and who is wrong? But it doesn't hurt to say that. β
Awan's expression suddenly became very flustered. She was obviously thinking in her heart, but her words surprised Tokugawa Ieyasu, "Even if Awan answers, it will be unjust." β
"Why?"
"Awan loves adults, so when judging, he will definitely favor adults."
"Haha, okay, you don't have to say any more."
"But...... I'm telling the truth. Whenever an adult creeps into that room. Awandu was very sad. β
Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression became stern again. Her ultimate goal is to maintain Tsukiyama. will give the above explanation: "You say you love me? β
"Yes."
"I'll go there. Why are you sad? β
"Because of jealousy."
"Jealousy...... Do you know what jealousy is? You've never touched a man at all. β
"No, I know."
I don't know what Awan thought of, she replied seriously. Tokugawa Ieyasu felt incredible, and finally controlled himself, but didn't laugh: "You mean you've touched a man?" β
"Yes."
"At what age?" Seeing that Awan was serious, Tokugawa Ieyasu gradually became irritable in his heart. What else will this little girl do for her master?
"Yes...... It was at the age of twelve. Awan replied cautiously, as if reminiscing.
"Oh. You've been very thoughtful! I've heard that you've been serving Sena since you were thirteen years old. If you come into contact with a man later, you won't be able to live with the master. But before that, there was nothing wrong with that. Is it really twelve? β
Awan's body trembled violently, his eyes still full of vigilance. The Tokugawa family recovered: "Do you really respect your wife so much? β
"Yes. I'm very proud of her. β
"You are jealous of others, but what about Madame, isn't she jealous?"
Awan did not answer.
"You know the taste of jealousy, and you probably know the psychology of the lady."
"Madame did not ...... Jealousy. β
"No?" Tokugawa Ieyasu watched Awan blink his eyes nervously, as if he saw Senahime's distorted affection, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay." In that case, I believe you are. β
"That's exactly what happened."
"Since you love me. I can rest assured that you will be treated. Zhushan is not jealous, and he is very tacit. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Why do you have such an expression? You've touched men. Come to me. Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and stood up.
"Lord...... Lord! Awan shouted. This is not the case. In order to cover the mountain, she said too much. Tsukiyama's jealousy is so strong that it arouses Awan's disgust and makes her reveal her flaws.
"What's wrong?" Tokugawa Ieyasu casually turned his head, still in a mocking tone, "The moon is about to set. Come here while there's still light. β
"Lord ......"
"Why do you have such a weird expression? When I went back, I told Mrs. SΓΉ that we were ...... Tell her clearly, I will marry you as a side chamber. β
"Huh?" Awan suddenly began to cry. This incredibly immature voice is very different from Tsukiyama, Kira, and Keyou. Once the emotions accumulated in her heart exploded, it was like a torrent, and she cried and threw herself at Tokugawa Ieyasu. Her sudden and absurd actions made Tokugawa Ieyasu wonder if she was armed with a murder weapon. But she just snuggled tightly to Tokugawa Ieyasu's chest and cried.
"Lord...... Please! Be sure to ...... Madame keeps it a secret. Madame......"
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Awan again in astonishment. Probably because of the contradiction between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sena Hime, Awan's psychology has changed subtly. What she meant was that she could obey Tokugawa Ieyasu, but she couldn't let her wife know because her jealousy was too strong.
"Why keep it a secret from Tsukiyama? Didn't you say she wasn't jealous? β
"But...... In that case, Awan will be in trouble. She clung to Tokugawa Ieyasu's chest, crying and trembling excitedly.
The moon has gone down. Tianhe is like a belt studded with diamonds, dazzling. The crisp chirping of insects knocks on people's hearts. At some point, Tokugawa Ieyasu hugged Awan, and he couldn't help but think of his bed with Senahime. I don't know when it started, and I don't know why, they became so discordant. But as long as they are out of tune, other women will appear next to Tokugawa Ieyasu. If Sena Hime is in love with him and there is no estrangement, then these women will quietly walk away from him. But they always stopped, and the gap between the two grew deeper and deeper.
Awan is a prime example.
Senahime arranged for Awan to come to Koyou's place to investigate, which put Tokugawa Ieyasu in an embarrassing situation that he had never expected. And it was Sena Hime herself who threw the torch into the boiling oil pot. Tokugawa Ieyasu's affection for Sena Hime grew more and more estranged, and his youthful passion finally broke free from the shackles of reason and burned. Just as the human will cannot control life and death, once a man and a woman embrace each other, they cannot control that subtle passion.
At the beginning. Tokugawa Ieyasu just looked at the heavenly river from afar. He was bathed in the evening breeze. Listen to the sound of insects. Strive to be clear and peaceful inside. But in the face of Awan, who scorched to express his admiration to him, Tokugawa Ieyasu deep down, the flame of affection gradually burned. In Awan, he seemed to feel some kind of mystery of creation, and finally forgot about himself......
The cedar trees swayed.
There was a faint singing voice in the distance, probably who was singing the beauty of Tianhe in the city.
"Awan," Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly pushed Awan away, "you don't have to worry. He said softly. He patted his shirt and walked away.
Awan stared at the sky in pain, trance, fear and dazedness. Worship Vega, the annual meeting, the eyes of the lady, the woman who has a skin-to-skin relationship with the man...... In her mind, all kinds of thoughts are intertwined, and she is in a mess about where to go in the future.
"Lord......" Awan staggered to his feet. She suddenly realized that it had been so long since she had come on a mission tonight. I had to leave in a hurry.
Senahime lay on the bed, waiting for Awan to return. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. and even began to curse themselves. She regretted canceling the festival of Tanabata and regretting being too rude to Tokugawa Ieyasu. But she didn't reflect, she just felt more crazy, lonely and anxious.
But Awan did not return. What the hell is she doing? Senahime's mind was filled with all sorts of delusions.
Senahime had made an excuse to go to Sandao Castle and take a cursory look at Na Ke from the shade of the trees. She felt that a woman with a rural atmosphere wanted to compete with herself for favor, and she couldn't help it. But she also admits that Komi's delicate richness is reminiscent of grapes in the wild with dewdrops, a brilliance that she does not have.
"Hmph, it's such a woman!" Sena Hime imagined Tokugawa Ieyasu hugging this woman affectionately, and was filled with jealousy, "When will Awan come back?" Could it be that someone found her and brought her to Tokugawa Ieyasu? She had told Awan not to mention her, no matter what happened.
This woman was forced to commit suicide even by her father for the sake of her husband, but she was not loved by her husband. She did not hold the Qixi Festival that her daughter was looking forward to day and night. The husband hugged the other women to sleep, and she could only stay alone in the empty room, crying like a flower in the rain.
Sena Hime cried louder and louder. She knew that she would be ridiculed, but she still burst into tears and couldn't control it.
"Mother." A turtle's voice came from the door. She obviously had expectations for the festival, and she was afraid that she had secretly run over with the maid on her back. Hearing her daughter's voice, Sena-hime became even more sad and cried more and more high-pitched.
"Mother." The turtle barked again. But Sena Hime still cried incessantly. Soon, the daughter quietly left.
"Turtle, I beg your pardon. Forgive my mother......" When Sena Hime cried again, the door was gently opened, and the comer was even more cautious.
Awan walked in trembling like a ghost. She quietly sat down in front of the bed, staring blankly at the crying Senahime, silent for a while.
Sena stopped crying. The room fell silent, except for the dim light flickering softly.
"Ma'am." Awan seemed terrified. Senahime, who thought that no one was on her side, suddenly jumped up when she heard the voice. "Ahh Awan? β
"Yes."
"When did you come in? Why don't you speak? Sena asked.
"This ...... This ......" Awan was even more panicked, and his body curled up tighter and tighter. "Because...... Because Madame cried so sadly. β
"You're crying too? It scared me. Alas! You're probably the only one who can cry for me. β
Awan hung his head deeply.
"You seem to be very sad. Where did the lord go? β
"No...... No, I didn't go. β
"Didn't go? Then why are you back so late? What happened? β
"No, no, nothing happened."
"Nope! You must be hiding something. You have unkempt hair and pale lips - you've been discovered? β
Awan told herself: You must not cry, but strong emotions finally broke her will. She burst into tears.
As expected, Sena Ji asked more urgently: "If you have something to hide from me, you will never be spared!" What's going on? Stopped by whom? β
Her face was pale. If Awan is discovered, it will definitely be a big deal, and it will soon reach Tokugawa Ieyasu's ears, and Tokugawa Ieyasu will definitely understand that it was her command, and it will only alienate her even more, and then she seemed to think of something, and immediately glared and asked, "You told me?" β
"Nope." Awan held back sobbing.
"Huh? Why do you have dead leaves on your back......" Senahime gently stroked Awan, and a strange brilliance suddenly radiated from her eyes, "You...... You...... Have you been touched? β
"Ma'am." Awani pushed Senahime's hand away and stood up suddenly. She couldn't control herself anymore, and her whole body trembled, "But...... However, I did not name Madame. β
"Didn't say me? Hugh is to hide, who is he? You said! Who is he? β
"Yes...... Be...... I was discovered by my lord. β
"What? The lord ......" Sena Ji suddenly collapsed to the ground.
There is no doubt that she was completely abandoned. She stopped crying, and she had no more anger.
