According to the letter, the Emperor would soon dispatch a hunting envoy to Ise, and she was told to give them a special reception (This hunting envoy is believed to have been ARIWARA no Narihira, her cousin's husband and Emperor Heizei's grandson). |
そこには、近々勅命により狩の使が行くが通常よりは丁重にもてなすように、と記されてあった(この「狩の使」が、恬子の従姉の夫であり、平城天皇の孫でもある在原業平と考えられている)。 |
