My mother's love song

Whether it is to serve you in your daily life or to sleep with you at night, please feel free to order her around... It is an honor for this child to serve His Majesty the Great Palace."

Although she was a maid who didn't even have the title of a concubine, Rhode had already seen through the man's idea that if she got pregnant with the Ogoro's child, her family would rise to prominence in the future.

"is this okay?"

Rhodes looked at the girl beside him.

She was obviously only about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she couldn't be said to be stunningly beautiful, she could be described as pretty as a flower.

From her fair skin and slender fingers, it can be seen that until today she has been living a pampered life as a princess in a wealthy family, but now her father is going to give her to an unknown man as a political donation...

Rhodes was very resistant to telling the truth.

The Ogosho said with displeasure: "Sir, please consider your daughter's feelings."

"This is my own wish, Your Highness."

"Ok?"

The girl kneeling on the ground lowered her head and blushed as she said humbly, "I have admired Your Highness for a long time. I do not ask for anything in return, I just want to serve you... I beg Your Highness not to despise me."

"……Eh."

Rhodes observed her expression for a long time, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that she was not lying.

In other words, this girl is actually his fangirl.

In fact, he should have thought of this earlier.

Perhaps when her father was worrying about how to curry favor with the general, she volunteered to be the general's maid.

As the daughter of an official appointed by the imperial court and the guardian of a country, there is no problem with her status even if she is a maid who can serve in the emperor's bedchamber.

So Rhode hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, you can stay here from now on."

“Really?! That’s great!”

The father and daughter thanked each other repeatedly, especially the girl, who was so happy that she cried.

Looking at their reactions, Rhodes even felt like he had done a good thing.

In this way, more and more officials and nobles followed suit and sent their daughters to Rhodes.

The dozen or so maids living in this mansion now all have almost similar situations. They are noble daughters who were carefully selected from other officials' families and sent to Rhodes' mansion and volunteered to be servants.

They worked in the mansion during the day, and at night they would kneel beside the Ogosho after he fell asleep, standing guard and ready to be called at any time.

"Aha……"

Rhodes stretched and got up from the bed.

Seeing this, the maids kneeling beside the bed hurriedly came to him with clothes.

Rhodes naturally spread his arms and looked down at the beautiful noble daughters who were kneeling at his feet to change his clothes.

Although I have become accustomed to such situations, I still can't help feeling a sense of superiority and conquest.

“Power is wonderful.”

"Hmm? What are you talking about, Your Highness?"

"No, nothing. Just a little sigh."

As he said this, he reached his hand into the collar of the maid's kimono and moved his hand around skillfully.

"Hate it... Your Highness, please don't interfere with our work."

After changing his clothes, Rhodes would go to the dojo in the mansion for morning exercises.

The fixed items are ten kilometers of running, one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, and one hundred squats.

Day after day without interruption, fortunately Rhodes' hair not only did not decrease in length, but became very lush.

As the famous swordsman of the Gion School in Japan, his daily training plan does not include any sword-related content, not even meditation.

Rhodes' training is not to pursue a higher level of martial arts, but to make his growing body appear in the best condition.

Maybe it was because he had been away from home for too long, but recently Rod's body had started to grow for the first time.

When he returns to modern Tokyo and reunites with Aika next time, what kind of expression will he show when he sees his son who is a head taller than him and has eight-pack abs?

"It's really exciting."

By the time Rod finished his morning exercises, Fujiwara Kaori and Sei Shonagon had also gotten up.

Although the Ogosho had several wives and concubines, Musashi and the others did not actually live with Rod, but in another mansion.

In Japan during the Heian period, couples did not live together, but a form of marriage called visiting wife marriage was popular.

Simply put, visiting marriage means that the husband can have multiple wives, but the wife has to live in her parents' home and cannot live with her husband. If the husband misses his wife, he can visit her parents' home and stay there for a few days, but he cannot live there for a long time.

If a child is born, the child will live with the mother, and the husband will be responsible for the living expenses of his wife and child.

Although this may sound like a form of marriage that benefits men, it is actually a primitive feature of matriarchal society.

After all, the man is only a "guest" in the marriage, while the woman is the "host" who holds the dominant power in the family and the education and control over the children.

The custom of visiting the wife for marriage is still preserved in some ethnic minority customs in China in the 21st century. The reason why it became popular in the Heian period of Japan, which was deeply influenced by Confucian culture, is probably because aristocratic men thought it was romantic and cheerful.

Ogosho also agreed with this and decided on a whim to spend the night at Miss Tsuru's place.

Afterwards, he went to the living room of his house and had breakfast with Nuozi and Xiangzi.

By the way, it doesn't mean that Sei Shonagon was treated specially and allowed to live with her husband just because she was the principal wife.

Minamoto no Raikou is now one of the Ogosho's legal wives, and she became pregnant with Rhodes' child at the beginning of this year, but she did not move here to live, but continued to stay in Kiyokawa Genji's home.

The reason why Sei Shonagon was here was because she couldn't take care of herself after marriage, so she was taken in by Rhodes.

As for Xiangzi, a year has passed, and she is still not Rhode's wife. She is just borrowing this house.

Because the Shogun's palace, the Ogosho, was originally built on the basis of the Fujiwara residence and the entire street nearby.

Although Murasaki Shikibu, a widow, could end her solitary life and return home to live with her father and brother, she continued to live here at Rod's request.

After breakfast, the Ogosho would ride into the palace on the oxcart of Sei Shonagon or Murasaki Shikibu.

If he was riding in Nuozi's car, he would take this opportunity to have an in-depth discussion on literature with his beloved wife in the car.

Recently, there have been voices from Nuozi's family that say, "It's almost time to have a child. Our Nuozi can't lose to Lord Raikou."

You are talking about it, father-in-law.

His Majesty the Great is quite attuned to public opinion.

On the bumpy ox cart, Rhodes crushed Nuozi.

"Wait... No... Idiot, stop it..."

Sei Shonagon had his hands held down and was struggling desperately in his seat.

"The sound insulation in the carriage is very poor...passersby on the road will hear it..."

Sei Shonagon's shoulders were half naked, and her long, white legs stretched out from under her twelve-piece skirt, constantly kicking against the boy.

Such tempting resistance not only had no effect, but made Rhodes' desire burn even more fiercely.

He smiled slyly as he untied the belt of his Twelve-piece suit.

"Isn't it because you scream too loudly every time, Nuozi?"

"Varied……"

Sei Shonagon's cheeks flushed red.

"I didn't scream that loudly! Compared to Musashi-chan, Momiji-chan and the others, it's nothing! Idiot... Hikari-chan, you big idiot!"

The response to the girl's complaints was the boy's kiss.

Their lips touched, and Rhodes' kissing skills quickly tamed Sei Shonagon, the unruly and unprecedented girl.

"...Woo."

When Rhodes left those delicious and sweet lips, Nuozi's beautiful eyes were already filled with passion.

"Wait, I have to go see Lady Sadoko later, so I can't do that now... Come to my room tonight... Hikari no Kiss..."

Sei Shonagon's chest heaved violently. She swallowed her saliva and looked at her husband with eager eyes.

"Today is a dangerous day, so I will definitely be able to conceive your child...

At night, you can treat me however you want, just be patient...be obedient, okay?"

"Okay! Since you said so, I won't be shy! I will definitely make you pregnant with my child!"

As he said this, Rhodes peeled off the gorgeous Tang-style clothes, revealing Nuozi's body which became more and more voluptuous and attractive after marriage, and pounced on her.

"...Don't just listen halfway!!!"

Sei Shonagon's angry roar was heard from the carriage, but it was quickly replaced by a cute and charming moan.

The oxcart was swaying along the Suzaku Road, and before we knew it, it had already entered the palace, but it showed no sign of stopping...

Half an hour later.

Ogosho got off the oxcart while sorting his clothes, said goodbye to his wife who had collapsed on the ground, and strolled around Heian Palace.

As soon as Rhodes entered the palace, everyone's attention would be focused on him.

He actually didn't have a stable job. After all, the Shogun was a sinecure in peacetime.

Before the shogunate era, the shogun usually held other official positions concurrently, but Rhodes did not, and even the work of the elder of the Minamoto clan was handed over to Raikou.

Rhodes had heard that in ancient times, the biggest job of a noble was to socialize, holding tea parties, banquets, dances, and the like every day.

Then, showing up in the palace and demonstrating majesty is the sacred job of the Ogosho.

Rod was perfectly content being the biggest street scoundrel in Japan.

Recently, he has not only had a good relationship with Empress Fujiwara no Sadako, but has also become familiar with Kaori's boss, Empress Fujiwara no Akiko.

"Your Highness Zhangzi, would you like to take a look at the Tang Dynasty erotic paintings in my collection?"

"Shut up, you rude fellow. Do you believe I will cut off your mouth and throw it into Lake Biwa to feed the fish!?"

Unlike the gentle and dignified Empress, Her Majesty the Empress is a strong woman, which is extremely rare in the Heian period. She would give Omiya an angry look when he told dirty jokes.

"It's obvious that the same dirty joke was well received when told to Zunzi, ah..."

Resting his head on Tamamonomae's thighs and using the fat, furry fox tail as a blanket, Ogosho looked at the afternoon sky and said.

"Huh? Are you saying that I, Tamamo, am a lewd and wanton woman?"

Tamamonomae pursed his lips in displeasure, revealing a ferocious expression, and whipped the boy's face with his tail.

"Ouch... Stop it, sister, my dear sister, stop picking your ears..."

Ogosho, who had half of his ear spoon inserted into his ears, quickly gave in.

Tamamo snorted and said angrily, "I'm telling you, you can't say such things in front of His Majesty the Emperor, okay? Xiaoyu, I... oops, my hand slipped."

"……ah!!!!!"

Along with a surge of heat from deep in his right ear and a brief tinnitus, Rhodes lost his hearing on one side.

Tamamonomae quickly pulled out the bloody ear spoon and hugged him tightly.

“…Gurgle, Ogosho-sama! What’s wrong with you? Why is blood gushing out of your ears? Damn it, who is it! Who hurt my dear brother like this!?”

"It's you!"

Rhodes punched her in the face.

Tamamonomae's incomparably beautiful face was sunken, just like Nobita after being beaten by Fat Tiger.

"Tsk, what do you mean by enhancing the brother-sister relationship? I really believed your lies... It turns out that you should find a virtuous and gentle woman to clean your ears."

Leaving Tamamonomae who had fainted on the ground (actually she was pretending to be dead to avoid responsibility), Ogosho walked towards the Queen's bedroom while treating her ears.

"Come to think of it, it's about time for His Highness Dingzi to take this month's 'magic pill'."

Recently, Fujiwara Sadako no longer uses a teacup to take the elixir, nor does she ask other girls to "help" her, but instead starts drinking it directly.

Although due to an accident, both Noko and Yaobhikuni were unable to attend, it was indeed Sadako herself who raised this point.

Of course... His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know about this.

"I feel like Sadako has been looking better lately, and she's getting prettier and prettier... It's amazing."
