My mother's love song

The Genji who was still "standing" at the end has become a legend.

Even though a year has passed since that legendary night, people still talk about it with relish.

In March of the same year after the pacification of Mt. Oe, Takiyashahime, who claimed to be a descendant of Taira no Masakado and the daughter of Gyuto Ten-oh, led the demons to invade the mainland, using Onigashima in the Kanto Sea as her base.

This time, it was Genji who was entrusted with an important task by the court.

At this time, Genji's identity had already been announced as the elder of the Genji clan.

The so-called Genji elder refers to the leader of the entire Genji clan.

In principle, the person with the highest official rank in the Genji clan would become the Genji elder.

The elders of the Genji clan have various rights within the Genji clan, such as sacrifices, convening meetings, judging, and recommending clan members for official positions.

Genji, who became the leader of the Genji clan, was personally seen off by the emperor and led his army into battle.

It only took him half a month to defeat the Onigashima army that had landed in the Edo area, and even brought the mastermind of the rebellion, Takiyashahime, under his command.

"Takiko has been wandering for half of his life, and he only regrets that he has never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, Takiko is willing to be your adoptive father."

Even the daughter of the demon Taira no Masakado thought that Genji's bravery was comparable to that of her biological father!

At this point, Genji's military exploits and prestige reached an unprecedented level.

When he returned to the capital, he was granted the highest official position by the court.

The two right ministers are the generals who conquered the barbarians.

Apart from the mascot-like Daijo-chan and the left minister Fujiwara no Michinaga, the fourteen-year-old Genji was already a true high-ranking official.

Because the Shogun is a wartime official position, in the peaceful times when Oeyama and Onigashima have surrendered, it is actually a retired and nominal position.

So now, people prefer to call this boy "General" rather than "General".

The Great Palace.

"So...what happened to His Majesty the Great?"

"Haven't you heard the rumor... that the Ogosho-sama is as stunningly beautiful as Takako!"

A samurai said mysteriously: "I think Her Highness the Great is the most beautiful woman in Japan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was in an uproar.

"First of all, His Highness the Great is a boy... no, a man, right?"

In the Heian period, at the age of fourteen, one could no longer be called a boy but a man.

"Beauty has nothing to do with gender, right? Your idea is too shallow."

The man said with confidence: "Your Highness the Great Palace has a beauty that transcends gender.

If Takako is the Daji of Heian-kyō, then His Majesty the Great is the Lanling King of Japan."

Lanling King Gao Changgong is quite well-known in Japan.

During the Tang Dynasty, Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty introduced "Lanling Prince's March into Battle" to Japan.

Later, after Empress Konohime of the Nara Dynasty ordered the famous dancer Owarihama no Suzu to perform in the palace, this dance became more popular among the Japanese people.

By the Heian period, "Prince Lanling's March into Battle" had become a common theme song at festivals.

"Come to think of it... I seem to have heard of that rumor..."

"what?"

The samurai put the back of his hand to his mouth and whispered, "Prince Ogosho was a favorite of the Emperor before he became famous. They had a secret relationship..."

"An unspeakable relationship!?"

“That’s the kind… hehehe.”

He made obscene gestures with a wicked smile on his face, and everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

"Think about it carefully. Although His Highness has made great achievements, if he didn't have someone behind him, would he really be so successful in the officialdom? Would Fujiwara no Michinaga allow someone to be on an equal footing with him?"

"Makes sense."

"Your Majesty is clearly being served by peerless beauties like the Empress, the Empress, and Takako all day long, but he still favors the Ogosho-dono. This just proves that the Ogosho-dono is more beautiful than any other woman in the Heian Palace!"

"Yes, yes, that's right, brother."

"I bet that Her Highness the Great is at least as beautiful as Fujiwara no Takako! It's still unclear who will win the title of 'Japan's Most Beautiful Woman'!"

And just like that, word spreads from one person to ten people and from ten to a hundred people.

Since when did Rod become as famous as Fujiwara no Takako among the people?

People call them, Light and Son of Honor.

The two of them exude a noble aura like the sun, with a radiant and shining appearance.

Control the beauties and boys in front and behind His Majesty the Emperor.

Who is the most beautiful woman in Japan?

……

……

……

"Yes! I also want to know, between Takako and the Ogosho-dono, who is the most beautiful woman in Japan?"

Heian Palace, in a lush garden in Ouchi.

Three beautiful women dressed in luxurious twelve-piece kimonos sit and chat under a cherry tree.

The one who spoke was an exotic beauty with gorgeous long silver hair and blue eyes.

Although she looks like a French beauty, she has a Japanese name, Fujiwara no Sadako, and her occupation is empress.

"Oh~~~ this is a very difficult question to answer.

In my opinion, the light of the kiss is more cute than beautiful..."

Sitting next to Sadako was a typical Oriental woman with her long, gorgeous black hair draped behind her.

This person called Sei Shonagon had many occupations.

Among them, the more important ones were the empress's attendant ladies-in-waiting, writers, and the Ogosho-dono who had been married for a year.

"Although the lower body is not cute at all, but rather ferocious..."

Sei Shonagon's cheeks felt hot, and she added in a low voice that only she could hear.

"Lord Sadako, Lord Kiyoko? How long are you going to continue this boring topic?"

The last of the three, the woman sitting next to Sei Shonagon, had long peach-colored hair that rainbowed in the sunlight.

Although both Sadako and Noko were rare beauties in the world, they were still within the human realm. This woman's appearance seemed to have been sublimated to a higher level.

The gorgeous Tang Dynasty clothing perfectly wraps her curvy figure. Although the dress is so luxurious and gorgeous, it even seems inferior and simple compared to her beauty.

Her neat face reveals her elegance and grace, her delicate features reveal infinite charm, and her golden almond eyes radiate the clear luster of the sun.

The appearance of a god is just like this.

Her occupation is the emperor's concubine and the most beautiful woman in Japan. Her name is Fujiwara no Takako.

Tsuneko pouted her red lips unhappily: "No matter where I go recently, this topic always comes up. They compare me with the Great Palace Lord. I'm almost annoyed to death."

"Ah... Your Excellency is angry?" The Queen smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

"Why should I be angry? I'm not angry!"

"My husband has caused you trouble, Master Takako, please don't take it to heart. Wrinkles would dim your sunny beauty."

Sei Shonagon followed his master's lead and bullied Tsukuko together.

"You two... I want to beat someone up."

Zunzi clenched his shaking fists, and finally sighed helplessly and said.

"Really? Even if you compare me to a boy I've never met before, I don't know how to react..."

"Hey?" "Huh?"

Dingzi and Nuozi opened their eyes wide.

"Have you never seen Hikari no Kiyoshi?" "Don't you know His Majesty the Great?"

Zunzi shook his head.

"Why? Hasn't Hikari-no-Kinari been in Ouchi every day these days? How could you not have seen him?"

"Wasn't the singing ceremony in the first month of this year hosted by His Majesty the Great Palace and His Majesty? Did the entire royal family participate?"

Zunzi scratched his cheek and said, "No, I wasn't in the palace a while ago... From the Chinese New Year until last month, I went back because of something in my hometown..."

"Go back...what do you think of the palace?"

Dingzi and Nuozi were speechless.

Zunzi laughed dryly and said, "Because you see... His Majesty has approved it! Hahaha!"

Because Abe Haruaki has returned to the capital, I have to go out and hide from the limelight. I will come back after that guy leaves the capital.

She couldn't tell the real reason.

"So, Tsuyoshi has never met Shonagon's husband?" Sadako asked half-doubtfully.

"Well, no... why are you looking at me like that? The new Genji elder, I will go visit him when I have time."

Zunzi muttered softly, I want to see if he is as handsome as the legend says.

"Zunzi really cares about this!" Dingzi cheered.

"Do you need me to introduce you to it?" Nuozi asked.

"unnecessary."

Zunzi waved his hand and then stood up: "I have an appointment with His Majesty next time, so I'll take my leave first, both of you."

"oh oh."

"Take care, my Lord."

After saying goodbye to Sadako and Noko, Fujiwara no Takako left the garden and returned to Ouchi.

"The Shogun Minamitsu?"

Fujiwara no Takako held his chin in his hand, thinking.

I haven’t heard of this name. Is there such a character in Genji?

Speaking of which, when I returned to the capital last month, the first thing I did was to rush to see Your Majesty.

In the end, the kid said he was going to play chess with Ogosho, leaving me aside...

Fujiwara Takako clenched his fists and the corners of his mouth trembled.

"Could it be that...I lost to a man?"

Chapter 725: Yumozuo: Ladies, I am speechless. My husband was taken away by a relative's mama's boy.

Fujiwara no Takako entered Heian Palace four years ago.

At that time, she didn't have a surname, and her name was not Zunzi.

When registering to enter the palace, she called herself by the pseudonym "Zao-onna", and was later given the name Fujiwara no Takako by the emperor.

Of course, the name Zao Nu comes from her real name.

【Tamamonomae】.

This is different from the nine-tailed fox legend that is well-known in Japan.

Because according to legend, Tamamonomae entered the palace at the age of eighteen and later became a female official in charge of serving Emperor Toba. Legend has it that she won the favor of Emperor Toba with her beauty and knowledge and was named Tamamonomae.

The first bug is the identity of the emperor who was bewitched by Tamamonomae.

Now Fujiwara no Takako serves Emperor Ichijo.
