Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace
Episode 53: Let's shop
--No, no, no, wait a minute!
"No, I don't have to stop by, but I'll buy it myself after I get into the inn."
The prince smiled at his sister, who was about to say no.
"I can't give you anything to celebrate Rain's move to her private room.
Tachibin (living room) seems to have been prepared, and I have bought a lot of other products. "
I did get the little shelf Tachibin asked for, and I also got the pin.
Speaking of small things, did you buy candy balls?
But where does the Prince need to fight it?
However, the prince did not lower his opinion with a smile.
As a result, it was decided to "shop first when I get to the city".
- Really?
Tachibin or Tachiyoshi, I want you to stop this prince.
Shopping with the Prince is too bad for my heart.
Unfortunately, Tachiyoshi was on the horse running outside.
After that, the cars went smoothly and entered the town where they were due to stay on schedule.
There is a post town in this country at a certain distance along the street, but it seems to be on a large scale among them.
Hee, it's busy.
Rain sister looks out the window of a car at the streets.
"Yes, Rain sister, I have a plan to protect."
That's what the prince said.
"What is it?
The prince smiles at his sister Yu who asks.
But if this smile is a songwriter, I will learn on this short road.
"I'm just a light here, okay?
Since the name of Prince Akechi (Machen), it would be bright to take it.
In short, they say not to call it "Prince".
"... uh, Akesama?
"Oh, that's fine."
Even if the prince is good, other things may not be good.
After entering the city, Yu asked Tachiyoshi, who was perfectly attached to the side of the car, through a small window.
"Um, yeah, I'm telling you, okay?
Tachiyoshi, whose gaze was the same as that of Yu's sister in the carriage, slightly shook her shoulders.
"... hang out with the dojo."
It was a seeping word of renunciation.
As for the prince's children, there may actually be a lot of struggle against indifference.
This exchange eventually stopped in front of a building with a car.
The building has a slightly stylish exterior or a mix of Western-style designs, which is clearly different from the surrounding building.
"... here?
Rain stepped out of the car and looked up at the building. Her cheeks were about to twitch.
Something obviously seems different from the store I was going to.
"I think there are some rare items here because they are handled by ships."
However, the prince did not pay attention to such a thing and tried to get into the building quickly.
After that, Tachiyoshi walks next to Yu's sister, leaving her horse with a car.
"... you're familiar with Ming-sama, right?"
Rain sister looked up at Tachiyoshi and asked in a small voice, her eyebrows turned down.
"Originally, I didn't really want to be enclosed in the palace.
It seems that the anger accumulated because I stayed here without going anywhere. "
I see, the Prince seems to be an actionist by nature.
It was recently dragged into the rear palace.
--It's not because of my follow-ups, right?
Her conscious sister, who was somehow taken care of by Tachibin, almost scratched her cold sweat.
Anyway, when Rain sister came here, I decided to reopen it and shop.
Rain sister is a girlfriend and likes to shop.
In the city that is occasionally opened in the back palace, I am not interested because there are a lot of decorations and it is not a practical item, so I would like to buy something cute that I usually use.
Looking at the store with that feeling, there was a product that jumped into Yu's eyes.
--Ah, hairpin found!
I've seen the hairpin itself for the first time in my life.
Moreover, it is cute that it has various kinds of ornaments of artificial flowers, large and small.
As a Rain sister who holds her hair together during cleaning, it seems that the hair pin can be expected to have a fastening effect rather than a wig.
So when I chose a set of hairpins with small artificial flowers, I added them to the ones with large artificial flowers by the hand of Prince.
Next, we choose handkerchiefs and underwear (hakufu) for the comb, which is the original purpose, but the design is somewhere western because it only deals with marine objects.
It was new to this country and somehow nostalgic to my sister Rain.
And all of them have a nice touch and are obviously luxurious, but they close their eyes.
Even more so.
"Rain sister has beautiful hair."
That's what I was told by Prince, and he bought me a powder detergent for my hair.
When I said I was looking for fabrics, they chose silk fabrics.
What a luxury I've never worn silk pants in my previous life.
When you've finished shopping like this, grab your luggage and leave the shop, you'll get in a car again and head to the hotel tonight.
Eventually, it was a private inn that arrived.
--It's not an official lodge.
There are two kinds of accommodation in this country, one for officials and one for private use.
Officials are privileged classes, so naturally, accommodation for officials is better.
Just like in previous generations in Japan, it's equipped to stay alone.
In contrast, in most private lodgings, meals are self-catering.
If you stay at a cheap lodging, there are places where you can just rent out a room.
In fact, when Rain sister came out of the border, she stayed in a cheap lodging, even when she couldn't rent cooking tools.
Therefore, when traveling, a large amount of ingredients and everyday fine tools are also moved together, and they are moved with moving luggage.
That's why I thought I'd go to the official lodging after seeing the lack of luggage.
Even so, the hotel I chose for Prince is a luxurious building, so it's probably for the wealthy in the private sector.
