Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

In the blink of an eye, the autumn rests, and the Beijing officials are transferred.Under Yinggong Palace, the original Dazai was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War.Then seal the honor and ribbon, one person is under ten thousand people, it can be said that the power is overwhelming, and no one dares to contend with it.

In the same month, General Genji visited Yunlin Academy and read through the sixty volumes of Tiantai.Send confidants to the palace to send red leaves in the mountains, which means lovesickness.Zhonggong accepted it, and replied him in a business-like manner.This made Mr. Genji very depressed.Not reconciled, he entered the palace under the pretext of visiting the East Palace.

First, I went to pay homage to His Majesty in Jin Dynasty, and it was no surprise that the Qing Palace of the Ministry of War was also here.When they were free, the three of them began to gossip about the past and the past.In fact, General Genji didn't want to see the Minister of War more often.The contrast between the two is too obvious.Although Mr. Guang has a reward, compared with His Royal Highness Ying, it is really nothing to say.

The friendship between the two is not as pure and simple as it was when they were young.After several confrontations, there were more losses than victories, which was embarrassing.If it's just a face-to-face conversation, it's fine.But he has a plan today, and others may not be able to see it.But General Genji always felt that there was nowhere to hide in front of Yinggong, and no disguise could hide it from him.

On the contrary, the emperor's appearance is more and more like the first emperor, but his temperament is not so weak, gentle but also full of persistence.When Genji saw it, he was both nostalgic and guilty, and his expression was complicated, but still beautiful.

Fortunately, these three people are not ordinary people, even if there is no heart-to-heart to talk about, there will be no shortage of romantic and poetic feelings.Taking advantage of the twentieth moon finally revealed, it is better to be more elegant with such affection.

"Such a beautiful moonlight, you should do some orchestral play." His Majesty suggested enthusiastically.He hadn't picked up his beloved flute for a long time, but now he couldn't wait.

Yingying laughed and said, "If your majesty does not dislike my brother's poor piano skills, I would like to ask you to accompany me."

Suzaku shouted for goodness, and asked someone to fetch the musical instrument.Genji came here today for another purpose, and he didn't intend to linger here too much, and urgently needed an excuse.After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Speaking of which, His Majesty Donggong is also learning piano recently."

"That's right," His Majesty couldn't help laughing when talking about this, "That kid doesn't know why, he insists on being as good as Yingying. He also knows everything that Yingying knows. He is so cute."

This dumbfounding thing happened after His Majesty's fasting ended.The great Confucian who taught Donggong in Chaoyang House was the former teacher of Suzaku and Yingying.Speaking of His Royal Highness Prince Ying's previous talents, this great Confucianist is really a treasure.Speaking of every place, you can tell what His Royal Highness Ying is like.Donggong was really admiring and unconvinced after hearing this.

He has always known how powerful his fourth brother is, but it is another matter to tell it from others.After a few days, Quan vowed that he would be as good as his brother.Yinggong is good at painting, and he wants to learn it too; I heard that Yinggong is a master at playing the qin, and some people turned out the qin that was usually yelling and boring from the corner, and practiced fingering with their mouths pouting.

When Suzaku came back, he saw the child's unconvinced expression as if it was about to be too late.Yingying was still on the sidelines, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, while criticizing the use of too strong colors, and at the same time saying that his fingering for plucking the strings was wrong.Dong Gong was so angry that he was acting like a fool, and almost rolled around at the feet of the two of them.

His Majesty, who really couldn't stand it, took the boss's strength to comfort Donggong, telling him that everything should not come in a hurry.He cited many more examples, such as calligraphy, Ying Gongxia is definitely not as good as him at Donggong's age.On the other side, His Highness Ying raised his eyebrows, and was about to open his mouth to argue when his Majesty gave him a hard look.I just kept my mouth shut and pretended it was the truth.

Under Quan's extremely suspicious eyes, Suzaku said with certainty that it was true many times.Only then did he calm down the difficult child, put down his pen happily, and told the two elder brothers that he wanted to go out to play.

"I remember my father once told me to treat the East Palace as my own... This child has already written a good hand at such a young age. I don't have any strengths myself, and I can count on him a lot in the future."

Hearing what His Majesty said, Genji was very hesitant.It can be seen that His Majesty's expression is sincere and does not seem to be fake, and he can't help but fantasize.If His Majesty really likes to be satisfied with Donggong, Pingquan and his relationship so much, then maybe many things will not be as difficult as they are now.The chances of feeling smooth and comfortable again are not small.

He didn't care about these things before, maybe he didn't think it was necessary to bother with management.But after experiencing several ups and downs, he felt the inconsistency of the world, and he still tasted the benefits of that kind of power.

However, the Lord General did not forget the purpose of coming tonight.While the topic was still spinning around here, he hurriedly continued and said: "It is said that the king of the middle palace will leave the palace of the east palace today. The emperor once told me that she has no one to protect her, and at the same time she is the queen mother of the east palace. I can't bear not to take care of her. At this time, I should go to see her."

It is really rare for Zhonggong to retreat to Sanjo Palace to visit his children.Although Donggong didn't say anything, why didn't he miss his mother in his heart.He seems clever in everything, but after all he is just a child.

Although Mr. Genji's words were a bit abrupt, His Majesty thought it was just a thought of him for a while, and didn't notice anything wrong.Then he nodded and replied: "You are right, you should go and visit."

Mr. Genji was overjoyed, he hurriedly stood up, "I can't play with my brother and brother today, let's see you again when I have such a good time."

After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Yinggong.Jianying just smiled, without showing the expression that made her feel frightened.Guangyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.Suzaku didn't try to persuade him to stay, he only confessed a few words, and then asked someone to send Mr. Genji out.

After sending off Mr. Genji, the fragrance like heavy cherry blossoms in the air also faded.The cold moon shines brightly, the wind blows the shadows of the trees, and the cool atmosphere of autumn diffuses.It makes people feel comfortable when they are in peace.

Seeing Yingying remained silent, she tuned the strings with a relaxed expression.His Majesty relaxed his slightly tense nerves just now.This is what it feels like to be with someone who is really close.Although it was gossip just now, it still made people feel a little tired.

"Tired?" Yingying plucked the strings, made sure the tone was right, and played half of the tune at will.

The sound of music very well relieved His Majesty's tired mood.Suzaku relaxed his body, and replied very casually, "It's not bad. It's just that I didn't expect Guang to come here."

Yingying knew exactly why Genji entered the palace, so she didn't talk to him.The piano has been brought, and the moonlight should be just right, so there is no reason to miss the opportunity.So he brought a new piece of music that he saw occasionally and played it for His Majesty.

In recent months, there have been some bad rumors circulating in the palace.It is said that there is some ambiguity between Mr. Genji and Mr. Shangshi.He himself can sometimes detect some clues.

But the secrets are too difficult to reveal, and His Majesty always has a guilty heart towards the Imperial Box Palace.Knowing that this matter happened before entering the palace, it is helpless if it didn't start today.Since the two agree with each other, they don't blame them too much, they just turn a blind eye.

As for His Majesty Yingying Palace, he is not dissatisfied with His Majesty's behavior.Since it was something Suzaku was happy with, of course he wouldn't stop it.Yinggong has its own plan, the ultimate goal may not even be predictable by Suzaku.

General Genji seized the time to meet his sweetheart while Nakamiya was leaving the East Palace, but how indifferent Nakamiya's expression made him feel very worried.He left without saying a few words.He didn't even pay attention to the reluctant expression under the East Palace.

Prince Quan was naturally reluctant to let his mother leave him too early.Being used to going to bed early, he was still waiting here at this time, probably waiting for his mother to withdraw on purpose.

As a mother, there are infinite thoughts of parting and parting in her heart. No matter how hard she is to give up and ask carefully, she is still worried.However, the person with evil fate was by his side, so he really didn't dare to spend too much time to let others see the flaws.They could only say goodbye to each other, and retreated wiping away tears.

General Genji left the East Palace angrily because he failed to achieve his goal.On the way, I ran into the son of the empress dowager's eldest brother, Teng Dana Yan, who was called Tou Zhibian.He is the handsome and most powerful young man today, and suddenly he meets General Genji's reserved and vigilant team.So he stood there for a moment, and murmured: "The white rainbow pierces the sun, and the prince fears it."

Guangyuan was very displeased when he heard it, but there was nothing he could do.It is reported that the empress dowager has been in a bad mood recently and has a very bad temper.Therefore, even those close to her must speak so recklessly.Although the king of the general is very annoyed, it is worth holding back and pretending to be calm.

It's just that after going back, every time I think about the two lines I chanted, I feel very troubled in my heart.Annoyed, so I haven't heard from the King of Shangshi for a long time.Unexpectedly, when the autumn rain first fell, the other party somehow sent a song.

It is written in the letter that the letter has been waiting for a long time, and the letter will not arrive. How can I miss it every day.It is the autumn of sentimentality, and the handwriting of songs and poems that suppress enthusiasm is all lovable.So I asked the emissary to wait for a while, and opened the cabinet where the Tang paper was placed, and even the brushes were carefully selected.

That demeanor was particularly affectionate, which aroused the curiosity of all the maids around him, and they all exchanged glances and whispered while holding their sleeves.This reply was naturally embellished and very emotional.But only he himself knows that there are many people who communicate with each other, but they are just perfunctory, and they are not deeply attached to their hearts.

As for Shangshi, because of His Majesty's tacitly conniving attitude, Obscure Moon Ye, who was originally a little worried, was relieved.It became more convenient and more frequent for those messengers who sent letters to leave the palace.

"Is this appropriate?"

Suzaku looked in the direction pointed by Yinggong, and saw Zhong Nayan who was following Shang Shi standing in a far corner, and was conveying something to someone.

This location is already very remote, but she certainly did not expect that His Majesty and the Minister of War would often take a walk here.All this move fell into their eyes.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you..." His Majesty sighed and explained with difficulty, "Since I can't give her favor, I might as well pretend that I didn't find out about it. If it wasn't for me, how could her good life be so difficult for nothing?" Locked in this deep palace."

Ying Gong glanced at him, "...you have always been so kind."

His Majesty shook his head, said with a wry smile, "It's all about deceiving yourself, why do you laugh at me?"

"That's not what it means," Firefly said seriously.But there was an obscure and incomprehensible ridicule hidden in those eyes, "I only hope that other people can have such kindness."

"What does this mean?" Suzaku was very puzzled, very puzzled.

"Hey, why does Suzaku pretend not to understand?" Yingying took two steps forward, pinched a handful of red leaves, and played with her fingertips, "You know that this kind of thing can't be hidden if things go on like this. When the real thing happens, who are you going to protect?"

"I……"

Yingying glanced at Suzaku's hesitant face, summoned an attendant behind her, and whispered some instructions.The attendant nodded after listening, and ran to Zhong Nayan, who was still whispering in front of him, to remind him.Seeing His Majesty and Qing Gong here, Zhong Nayan and the person who sent the letter knelt down in horror, trembling and afraid to speak.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Hotaru pulled Suzaku past Suzaku and left to the other side.The two had their own thoughts and kept silent all the way.Suzaku probably knew a thing or two about how he wanted to come to Yingying.If he always wants to do this, it is not impossible to treat it as invisible.Today's reminder is just a warning, but there will be no next time.

Qing Gong's kindness is pitifully small, and for His Majesty's sake, that's all.I only hope that in the future, other people will also consider the pain of a child's love, and give a little bit of kindness to them.
