Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Chapter 119 Summer Solstice

In the end, Mr. Genji rode lightly and left Suma.He left Kyoto with the shame and atonement of his life.His Majesty never made a decree to inform Chong Qing, but he also indicated that he would not have the chance to come back here before the Eastern Palace became the throne.

He left on a hazy morning, not wanting to disturb too many people.Mrs. Duzi wept and followed all the way, sending her husband away.I don't know if there will be a time to meet again in this life, which is really heartbreaking.

Before leaving the city gate, he saw a low-key ox cart waiting on the side of the official road.Seeing a group of them coming, they sent a servant to ask.Then I saw Qing Gong of the Ministry of War bent down and got out of the car.

"In the end, you are still willing to give me a ride." Guangyuan's tone seemed to lament the coldness of the world.Suddenly he laughed at himself again, his eyes full of bitterness.

Hearing what he said, Yingying didn't say too much caring words, but asked people to send many practical things.He glanced up and down at the haggard elder brother, thinking that when he was the most innocent and ignorant child, the relationship between people would not have so many unsurpassable tests.

Since it's a farewell, it shouldn't be so silent.After handing over some things, Yingying still sincerely expressed condolences: "The mountains are high and the water is far away, please take care of yourself, brother."

"In this life... the only thing I can do is look at Yujing from the horizon, drifting away... don't mention it, don't mention it..."

Guang Yuan's eyes were full of hot tears, it was knowing that he was doing it on his own that was the most depressing.After weeping sadly for a while, he bowed to Ying Palace and said: "There is nothing else to worry about. It's just... the family members in my house, please take care of them on your behalf."

Yinggong glanced at the gorgeous frame behind, thinking that it must be Mrs. Zi who was taken away by Genji and married after being brought up.It's pitiful to think about it, her husband is exiled, and she is a weak woman who doesn't know how to deal with herself.He nodded, agreeing to the request.

Genji also breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Yinggong had agreed.At this juncture, he didn't know who to ask to go. Seeing that Yingying was willing to come and see him off, he knew that he was a reliable person.Because we have to hurry, let's say goodbye to the hatchback.Glancing back reluctantly, Genji saluted again at Yingying Palace, beckoned his servants to mount their horses, and then went all the way away.

Ying watched his back until he disappeared, then boarded the frame and left.Now his mood is neither happy nor sad, coming today is just to say goodbye.As for what she was saying goodbye to, Yinggong herself couldn't tell.

He had a vague premonition that perhaps in the next many years, he would never see this peerless elder brother again.It's like this bustling imperial capital finally bid farewell to the spring of cherry blowing and snow dancing, and ushered in the sunny summer.It's just that the sound of cicadas will resound for a long time after that.

Then a little episode happened.Seeing Genji's loss of power, His Royal Highness didn't want her daughter to spend her youthful years empty-handed, so she thought about taking Mrs. Zi back.His stepwife was originally envious and jealous of Mrs. Zi, but now she is even more unwilling to get involved in bad things, and disagrees very much.During the stalemate, Mrs. Zi had no choice but to write to Santiaoyuan for help.

After Yinggong received the letter, someone asked her what she meant, and got a reply that she only wanted to wait for Guangyuan's return in the Erjo courtyard.Yingying sighed, and then called someone to come forward to solve such trivial matters.It is also a good thing to send some people to take care of this affectionate woman so that she is not disturbed by the wind and rain.

This time, Mr. Genji went out of Beijing, and his subordinate Zhonggong finally got his own result.His Royal Highness Prince Quan has always refused to see her, and he is not even willing to ask someone to convey a word.

In the end, she was disheartened and sent back to Santiao Palace by His Majesty.For the rest of her life, she was also the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, atone for her sins as she wished.Even if he regretted it extremely, why did he avoid Donggong's request to see him in the first place?His Royal Highness Quan was very disappointed with his mother, not to mention that such entanglements were a gap that no amount of compensation could make up.

There is a saying in the world that you can't see your mother if you don't see the underworld.When this highness is willing to let go of the paranoia in his heart and see his beloved mother again, he doesn't know when he will go.

Dong Gonggong suffered a serious illness, and after recovering, he did not feel the ease of regaining a new life.Putting away the coquettish personality that was exposed before, the person became more and more calm.Sometimes, always see the shadow under the firefly palace on him.

His Majesty was distracted several times because of this, and when he realized it, he felt extremely ashamed.He was still dissatisfied with Yinggong in his heart, and he didn't want to admit that he was thinking about him.

In order to relieve such lonely emotions, Suzaku found many things for herself to do.In addition to handling government affairs diligently every day, the teaching of the East Palace has also become more rigorous.Prince Quan already intended to study a lot, so he put aside his despondency and learned a lot from Suzaku.

It's just that the anomaly between Suzaku and Yingying is so obvious that even people in Donggong who feel a little bit sad can feel that something is amiss.After two days of enduring it, Donggong finally couldn't bear it anymore.He deliberately slapped the memorial in his hand on the table vigorously to wake up His Majesty who was distracted——

"What happened? Are you tired? Then take a rest."

"I'm fine," Dong Gong shook his head seriously.

Obviously I am the one who needs comfort the most, and I have to worry about you in the end.Prince Quan felt a little worthless for himself, and then took the pen from Suzaku's hand.

"Although I don't know what happened between you and Brother Yinghuang, if there is a problem that is not resolved, it will definitely cause more trouble. So..." Dong Gong held His Majesty's shoulder, and said in a very serious tone, "Hurry up and get down!" Let Brother Ying come into the palace."

His Majesty Donggong smiled so kindly that he could not accept it.Now Suzaku still doesn't know how to face Yingying, he still can't accept the vicious methods Yinggong uses in these matters.Especially when these calculations are used against people close to him.If Yinggong had said that all of this was for His Majesty, then Suzaku might have hated herself.

But Prince Quan didn't know the reason, and didn't know that the predicament he faced was also calculated by another brother.Now Quan regards His Majesty and His Majesty Yingying as his support, and he is the closest person in the world.If something could be done to resolve the estrangement between the two, His Majesty Donggong would definitely do his best.

The atmosphere in the court after that was also very strange.The original situation where one side fell and the other rose did not happen again, and the person who was sitting on the wall and swaying in the wind turned out to be like duckweed without direction.As for some timid people, thinking of the bloody storm that was forcibly suppressed some time ago, they are even more apprehensive and dare not make mistakes at will.

No one knows what happened the night before Donggong's serious illness.But Guangyuan's downfall is already a certainty.Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Qing Gong of the Ministry of War who was still in the palace, and wondered in their hearts what role this person played in it.

As for the Palace of the Ministry of War, it was the same as before, without any extraordinary actions or changes.Let some people feel extremely disappointed, always feel that this should not be the case.But only those who are familiar with him know that His Highness's inattentive eyes are full of sorrow that makes people feel extremely sad.

·

It's summer in a blink of an eye, and it's already a bitter summer under Yingying Palace.In this kind of weather, I stayed in the Santiao courtyard more and refused to go out, and took five or six days of leave to hide in the room.I just hate that the ancient trees in the courtyard are no longer taller, covering all of this place.

Yingying has always been very self-disciplined, always impatient and will not forget to criticize because of indulgence and enjoyment.Such a situation is quite surprising now, Chengxiang Palace would send people to visit from time to time, but seeing that Yinggong's expression was as usual, and he was only taking a rest to escape the heat, he didn't look depressed at all.

As for the knowing son Mo Ruomu, Cheng Xiangdian naturally knew that something was wrong.The performance of Yinggong at this time is like a butterfly in summer, living and dying; like a famous flower that lacks care, mourning and weeping at night, losing all vitality.

Because he didn't get attention and recognition, his body was still young and vigorous, but the soul inside had withered, and he was confused and lost all day long.If things go on like this, there will be damage. The so-called authorities are obsessed. If the palace has not figured it out, others will be helpless.

This negative attitude lasted until Ying Gongxia's birthday.His Majesty would have spent so much time celebrating it every year, but this time he had chosen a gift and didn't know how to give it.

After Ying Gongxia asked for leave, she never canceled her leave to enter the court.His Majesty was already angry in his heart, but now he also complained.I wonder if this is an act of indifference?

When there was a conflict like this last time, Suzaku would always send a signal of reconciliation, thinking of his age and the difficulty of missing each other.But this time, he suddenly became angry.The birthday gift that was originally intended to be given as a signal of relaxation was also placed on the desk beside him.

·

Ying Gongxia has always felt extremely sleepy in recent days, and feels lonely in his heart.Cultivate health and cultivation in one's own residence, not keen on vulgar things.Today, I managed to pull myself together.Every half an hour, someone would be called to ask if there was any news from the palace.

The servant was also trembling when he was asked, until the congratulatory instrument in the palace brought it, and hurriedly carried it to see His Highness.Ying looked at those luxurious things many times back and forth, covering her eyes with disappointment, and asked someone to store them for storage.

The attendants were confused, they were obviously anxious just now, how could they lose interest now?I had no choice but to lift it up and prepare to go down.I don't want to be stopped by His Highness again.

"Is there a letter from Your Majesty?"

The attendant recalled it for a while, and Fang carefully replied: "The villain has never seen it."

The grayness on Yinggong's face became more and more obvious, she waved her hand to tell people to go down, she was so disheartened that she didn't want to say anything more.

When the East Palace came down, he saw his always energetic elder brother His Highness leaning aside with a sluggish expression, his eyes closed and he looked very tired.For this reason, he was greatly surprised, thinking that today is his birthday, why did he become like this.

"His Royal Highness?"

This call finally made people have some reactions. Seeing that Quan was here, Yingying was also a little surprised, so she asked, "Why are you here?"

This eye opening made people feel even more sad, the originally streamer eyes were extremely dim and lost their spirit.His face has also lost a lot of weight. Although it's not that it's out of shape, it can be considered that the belt is getting wider.

"Today is my brother's birthday, I've come to congratulate you from now on."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Yingying felt unspeakable guilt in her heart, so she could only thank Dong Palace gently and gratefully.Quan moved the gifts he brought over, and when he looked away, he saw many unpacked He Yi beside him.He didn't seem to care about the random appearance.With a slight movement in his heart, he opened the box he brought, and said casually: "Brother Emperor, His Majesty is coming too, but unfortunately there are too many things in the court. Brother Emperor, when will you cancel your vacation? Your Majesty and I are too busy without you." It's impossible."

His Highness originally wanted to say that the vacation was gone and he would go back, but suddenly realized that he had already stayed in the mansion for a long time.He could only hold the corner of his mouth, and said under cover: "Of course... I'll be back soon."

"Brother, you are really..." His Majesty Dong Gong complained, and then changed into a very playful tone, "No wonder His Majesty said that he will give you the congratulatory gift after you go back. I will hold it for you first, brother Huang wants I'm going to get it myself."

Ying Gong's eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her tone and asked, "Your Majesty really said that?"

"Then... of course, anyway, anyway, go back soon!"

Seeing Donggong touching her nose uncomfortably, Yinggong smiled warmly.Raising his hand and rubbing Quan's head, he thanked softly: "Quan, thank you so much for coming today."

"No..." Donggong muttered and complained with some boredom: "I really don't understand what's wrong with you two, but you both look like you miss each other very much. Why don't you tell me in person? If you make a mistake What, Brother Huang, go and apologize to His Majesty."

"Quan... do you think apologizing is useful?"

Dong Gonggong was silent, and came over for a while before answering: "If the other party is completely disappointed, an apology is still useful. But if that person's heart has no room to redeem, no matter how much you apologize... it will not help the matter." Bar."

"... You don't even want to meet each other anymore, right?"

Ying Gong accepted the following sentence with a wry smile.
