"Since this is your decision, I naturally have no objection. So please take your seats."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few cushions suddenly appeared in the courtyard. Several people looked happy and sat on them one after another.

Chapter 57: Fame

Several people sat down side by side and started to greet Kaguya one by one, but their words always revealed a sense of wanting to stay away.

That's right, which serious young master would come to the door just by seeing a figure? Those who can come to the door are probably just some unimportant side branches.

Finally, after talking about this and that for a long time, someone couldn't help but speak.

"I see that Princess Kaguya is well-educated, gentle, and beautiful. I wonder if she is engaged?"

As soon as these words came out, Kaguya felt something was wrong.

These people just chatted with her for a while and didn't even see what she looked like, but they actually started thinking about marrying her. Isn't that too stupid?

"I have been cultivating with Master Luo, so naturally I have no desire to dwell on worldly matters. If you have any further questions, I may be able to answer them, but please do not mention the engagement again."

Kaguya frowned slightly. She had to firmly deny this matter. It would be best to dispel these people's ideas once and for all and let them give up this matter completely, otherwise there would definitely be endless troubles in the future.

It’s a pity that if they could be brushed off so easily, they wouldn’t have come.

"Princess Kaguya is overthinking it. We have Onmyojis in our house. If Princess Kaguya needs us, we will ask for them." Someone said with a smile.

If you don't have some skills when you go out, you must have some background. There are people they can't afford to offend, but they are not many.

So as one of the top families, isn't it reasonable for them to have some Onmyojis in the family?

"I appreciate your kindness, sirs. However, I've also heard that some Yin-Yang masters won't share their knowledge. I wonder if the Yin-Yang masters in your houses would be willing to teach me."

Several people fell silent.

It was indeed as Kaguya said, the Onmyoji in their family could only give them a good look on a daily basis, let alone teach them everything they knew. Even if Kaguya went back with them, she probably wouldn't learn anything.

And most importantly, they were also worried that the Onmyoji in the family would be attracted by Kaguya's beauty. If those people wanted to snatch her from them, they would not have any chance at all.

So they just wanted to trick Kaguya back first. As for whether she would be discovered by others after she got there, that still depended on them.

But now it seems that Kaguya really understands Onmyoji, which makes it impossible for them to fool her.

"If Princess Kaguya trusts us, we will definitely help you with all our strength." Some people were still unwilling to give up and wanted to make another attempt.

Seeing this, Kaguya smiled lightly.

"You gentlemen, you have rashly visited a woman like me without informing me. This is already a breach of etiquette. How can I dare to trust you anymore?"

Several people were silent. They didn't expect that the point they had not paid attention to before would now become their weak point.

"So please return, my lords. When you are able to get the Yin-Yang Master to fully assist me, I will carefully consider your opinions."

This time they have no reason.

Kaguya noticed the embarrassment of the few people, and this was exactly what she expected, because the few people who were rejected for this reason probably wouldn't come again.

"Well, in that case, I won't bother you anymore."

Several people sighed helplessly.

At this point, they have no other reason.

I was originally full of confidence and wanted to come and see Kaguya, but in the end I had to go back in shame without even seeing her, just like Jerry who just went out and met Tom.

But not only did they lack Jerry's skills, they also lacked Jerry's courage. In this yard with a cat named Onmyoji, they dared not make any unnecessary moves.

As for why they did not doubt the authenticity of the Onmyoji, although they were lustful and had no skills, they were not blind. The flowering trees on both sides were the best proof.

The few of them took a last lingering look at Kaguya behind the veil, and then followed Zomaro out.

After the few people walked out completely, the layout in the courtyard slowly disappeared and returned to its previous state.

"I never thought that I would be proposed to by a human one day. How was it, Lord Luo? Did you enjoy it?"

Kaguya remained kneeling and asked Luo Bai, who looked cheerful beside her.

"That's just the beginning. Don't underestimate your charm." Luo Bai smiled and shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Kaguya thought.

"It's true that these people have returned, but you can't guarantee that they won't tell others about your affairs.

What if they think that even if they can’t get it, their family members might get it, and they can have a piece of the pie too?”

Luo Bai's expression was calm, and his tone was quite sarcastic.

He has read so many classics and stories recently, and the mythology and history of the West really opened his eyes.

From gods to humans, there are such people among gods, and there may be some among humans as well, especially the children of high-ranking officials who are uneducated and unskilled.

After hearing what Luo Bai said, Kaguya's expression became even more unhappy.

She could accept the admiration of others. After all, with her beauty, she was born to be the center of attention. But if there really was someone who held the same opinion as Luo Bai, she would absolutely not accept it.

"I don't know what they will do, but let's wait for now. I hope they don't realize it themselves."

Kaguya spoke softly, but her eyes were looking at the figures leaving outside.

If she is really offended, she doesn't mind taking action against mortals.

Having lived in Yuedu for such a long time, she had no good feelings towards the people on earth. If it weren't for Zaomaro and his wife taking such good care of her at the beginning, she would have left after recovering her strength, or at least she would not have stayed with them and considered their thoughts.

The only reason I stayed here now was to let Zaomaro and the other man spend their old age in peace.

The two discussed it again for a while, as if they had forgotten about the matter. Luo Bai started reading a book, while Kaguya began studying her cell phone.

The sun rises and sets, nothing changes, but a new chapter has begun.

Within a few days, Kaguya-hime's beauty quickly spread throughout Heijokyo.

Everyone knew that there was a new beautiful woman in Heijokyo who was as beautiful as a fairy, and many people came to visit Zaomaro's home, but most of them left with regret after hearing about Kaguya and Luo Bai's studies.

The minority, like the ones before them, have Onmyojis in their families or homes, and are not worried about Luo Bai's reputation as an Onmyoji at all.

Because most of these people came to find Zoumaro and then came to find Kaguya, Kaguya had no way to refuse and could only receive them a few more times in the same way as before.

After driving away another group of people, even Kaguya no longer had the leisurely attitude she had before.

"Please help me, Lord Luo Bai, I'm almost annoyed to death by them." Kaguya looked like she had lost all hope in life. She finally understood how Luo Bai felt when she came to see him every day.

If those people were disrespectful to her and made some mistakes, it would be easy to solve and deal with it secretly, but those people were at least respectful on the surface, so she had no reason to take action.

"Don't worry, there are many ways, but there is no need for me to take action." Luo Bai took a sip of tea from the teacup and motioned Kaguya to look outside.

Following Luo Bai's gaze, I saw Zaomaro walking in with a few people.

Chapter 58: The Beginning of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

"As long as you can get rid of them, no one will bother you anymore." Luo Bai put down the teacup, smiled gently, and his figure gradually dimmed.

It seems that these people should be of high status.

Kaguya looked at the people approaching thoughtfully, silently thinking about her next move.

While Kaguya was thinking, Zoumaro came over with a few people.

There were five people traveling with them, one of them was relatively young, and the others looked middle-aged, but none of them were not dressed gorgeously.

Several of them seemed to have been dressed up carefully, with jewels and jade adorning their bodies, making them dazzling and brilliant. The clothes they wore were also tailored by tailors in their respective homes, showing their noble temperament.

Normally these people don't dress like this when they go out. They dressed up this time just to make themselves known to everyone.

"Father, who are these adults?" Kaguya asked softly, but the eyes of the people around Zaomaro lit up.

"Kaguya, these gentlemen are the most prestigious people in this country. If you are willing, you should choose between them."

Zaomaro spoke tremblingly and began to introduce the identities of the people around him.

The younger one is the current Prince Ishizuki. Counting from his side, they are Prince Kurumi, the Right Minister, the Dainagon, and the Chunagon.

The status of these people in this country is among the best and cannot be improved.

After the introduction, Zaomaro stood aside and had no say in the following conversation.

"I wonder why you gentlemen have come to visit me?"

"I've heard rumors in the palace that Princess Kaguya's beauty is unmatched in the world. Many people lose their appetite just by hearing her name, so I wanted to come here and see if she's as beautiful as the rumors say."

The young Prince Shizuo spoke first, his tone tinged with arrogance.

Kaguya frowned slightly, "So the other adults are here for this reason too?"

The Right Minister said: "I came here to look for my only son. I saw a crowd of people gathered here, so I came here to take a look."

Grand Minister: "I noticed that the people in the palace have not returned for a long time. I heard that they gathered here, so I came here to find out the reason. I heard the name of Princess Kaguya and came here on the way."

"I am in charge of the circulation of the streets here. I saw that it was congested and heard about Princess Kaguya, so I came to visit you."

Prince Che Chi said: "I went out on some business today, and when I returned I found several colleagues gathered here, so I was curious and wanted to know more about this matter."

The words and actions of several people were inconsistent. Except for Prince Ishizuki at the beginning, no one expressed that they came to express their opinion on Kaguya's coming. But if they were driven away for these reasons, they would definitely find other reasons.

Kaguya naturally understood all this, and she had no intention of letting them leave for the time being.

The appearance of these people here, regardless of whether they succeed or not, is enough to stop the others who are still outside. At least if their identities are not enough, it will be impossible for them to participate.

Kaguya was also thinking about how to make these people return empty-handed.

"Since I have delayed the affairs of Prince Shizuo's palace because of me, I am naturally willing to give Prince Shizuo an explanation.

As an unmarried woman, I shouldn't be seen in public, but since this matter was caused by me, I am willing to let Prince Shizu verify it."

There was a hint of helplessness in Kaguya's tone, which made Prince Ishisaku nod slightly in satisfaction.

As for the others, although they heard Kaguya say that she was going to give an explanation to Prince Ishizuka, they had no intention of leaving and stared at Kaguya's figure behind the veil.

Kaguya stood up behind the veil, took a step forward, and then used one hand to push aside the veil, revealing a slightly pale cheek.

Looking at the people in front of her with different appearances, Kaguya forced a smile and was about to salute, but just as she raised her arm, she suddenly changed her posture, covered her cheek with her sleeve, coughed lightly twice, and retreated behind the veil.

"Please forgive me, my lords. Today, there are many people looking for me. I am exhausted and feel a little unwell. I am afraid that it will affect you, lords. Please allow me to stay behind the veil."

Having said that, Kaguya sat back down without waiting for anyone's response.

However, the few people seemed not to have heard Kaguya's words, and stood there with dull eyes.

After a while, it was Prince Shizu who spoke again: "She is indeed extremely beautiful..."

The others looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Now I finally understand why the people in the mansion are obsessed. I don't blame them. I don't blame them."

Prince Shizuo waved his hand, sighed, and turned to leave.

The others did not stop him and continued to give answers to the reasons they had found before. They also left with inexplicable emotions. Only Prince Kurumi, also known as Fujiwara no Fuhito, looked around before leaving, as if he was looking for something.

Next time they come, they will probably propose like those guys did.

Kaguya thought silently, looking at Luo Bai who reappeared on the side.

"What kind of difficult problems should I give them so that they will give up on their own accord?"

"That depends on your wisdom."

"Really, Lord Luo Bai, can't you help me a little?" Kaguya said unhappily.

"If I help you, this matter will be meaningless." Luo Bai chuckled and shook his head.

He was just a spectator and not participating in the performance. At most, he would give Kaguya some suggestions from the audience. It was impossible to ask him to take action, and he was not very free now.

When these people came here just now, he deliberately observed their situation, especially Fujiwara no Fuhito.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to come here since he has children and is not short of women. Even if Kaguya is legendary and beautiful, he should just laugh it off. His behavior today is extremely unreasonable.

It's like I was influenced by something and had to get involved.

Of course, the key is not Fujiwara no Fuhito, but himself.

Thinking back to the conversations with Kaguya these days, Luo Bai almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.

With his personality, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to talk to Kaguya about slandering others, but he had described those people as that in front of Kaguya before, and he didn't notice anything wrong at that time.

Until now, if he had not discovered Fujiwara no Fuhito's abnormality, he probably still wouldn't think there was anything wrong at that time.

There are actually things in this world that can affect his consciousness without him feeling a bit. Even Shenqi, who opened up the demon world, can't do it.
