Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

This bitter thing that makes people feel infinitely sad is nothing but dispensable in this harem.No one will notice that there is another woman who deserves to be loved in this imperial palace.

Hearing about this today, he just sighed twice and ordered some maids to be dispatched to the East Palace.Suzaku didn't say anything, just accepted it, and then asked someone to arrange their errands, and everything was over.

After that, His Royal Highness Suzaku seldom indulged in the joy of singing poems.On the contrary, I read more of those classics on governing the world, and learned a lot about being a king by reviewing the old and learning the new.He is also more and more dedicated to teaching the younger brother's knowledge.It was still the gentle and introverted, elegant and delicate Dong Gongxia.

Let's say that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has become more and more excellent under the guidance of the East Palace.The great Confucianists in the institute admired the prince very much, and even urged the juniors in the family who were about the same age to make friends with the prince more often.After Yingying becomes an adult, she will definitely become a very prestigious prince among the nobles.

His Highness Prince Ying has been so versatile and talented since he was a child.He has a great relationship with His Royal Highness Suzaku.Donggong is good at calligraphy and painting, and His Highness Ying practiced uninterrupted every day, not to mention learning the piano to comfort his elder brother.As for riding and archery, and martial arts, I never gave up.

Regardless of his young age, he is very busy every day, and he rarely feels at ease.This kind of life is completely different from the whole leisurely and comfortable palace.Suzaku felt sorry for Yingying's hard work, so why didn't she persuade her.It's just that the fourth prince resolutely refused with the words that you can't give up halfway.

After learning the art of playing the piano for many months, His Royal Highness Prince Ying has also achieved some success, so he comes to the East Palace every day.Suzaku dotes on this younger brother and teaches him every day. The picture of the two of them getting along is very loving.

It was the midsummer season, and it was rare that there was a shower in the evening.After the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, it was a bit cool.The two of them sat near the imperial pond to enjoy the scenery. Prince Ying learned a new tune and tuned it with the flute under the East Palace.The flute and the qin are extremely harmonious and pleasing to the ear.

Music has the function of comforting people's hearts, and it can also convey affection and heart, and all kinds of moods can be conveyed by it.That half of the sadness and disappointment dissipated in the silent company and comfort of Prince Ying, and the other half gradually settled down, seeing the coldness and ugliness of the floating world.

Donggong finally let go of the pent-up pain in his heart, and no longer has wishful thinking about certain things.It's better to protect a person and let him live his life so happily.Let nothing sad and regretful happen in his life.

After the song was over, Donggong put down the flute and looked at Prince Ying who bowed his head and tuned, and smiled very gently.

"Suzaku? What's wrong? Did I play something wrong just now?"

"No, the firefly played very well, which surprised Brother Huang."

Her Highness Ying is very happy to be praised like this.Smiling brightly, the face that inherited her mother's gorgeous appearance gave people a very amazing sense of beauty.Dong Gong's heart missed two beats for some reason, he was stunned for a while, and laughed and said: "Oh, I used to think that Ying is very cute. Looking at it now, it looks so good. If you are a woman, I don't know how to confuse you." How many men go."

"Brother Emperor!"

Such words were caught off guard, and Prince Ying was so anxious that his nose was sweating.He yelled hastily, but he couldn't say anything.

"Hahaha, I'm not lying. You see, they all agree so much." Donggong pointed to the smiling maids next to him, and then squeezed His Royal Highness Ying's cheek, "Also, you have finally learned Call me Brother Huang!"

Perhaps it was because Yingying's rare shyness was so cute, Donggong couldn't help but grabbed the face of the Fourth Highness and rubbed it well.

His Highness Ying fell into Suzaku's arms, his face flushed, his eyes sparkling.Struggling to occasionally catch a glimpse of Suzaku's smiling face, he thought to himself: Donggong is the most beautiful person he has ever seen.

***

Compared to His Royal Highness Suzaku's hopeless thoughts, Prince Guang is like a fish in water in these matters.He has a natural appearance and a gentle temperament.What kind of woman willfully rejects him?

There are quite a few talented and beautiful women among the people who left Prince Guang, who was bound by the palace, to indulge in romantic affairs.He originally wanted a sweetheart but couldn't ask for it, but his newly married wife was not close to him.Lonely and lonely in my heart, I can't help looking for comfort from different women.

Just because of this, Minister Zuo's proud daughter became more and more displeased with her husband.It's a pity that Mr. Genji is so lovable, the Zuo minister's mansion can't bear to criticize him harshly, as long as he is still young, it will be fine after a while.

There have always been no secrets in this capital, and the news of the tryst between Mr. Genji and the former wife of the Eastern Palace was quickly spread by interested people.

That lady is extremely talented, and she is a rare beauty.Just like Ling Xiao Aoxue, she was overwhelmed at first sight.After her husband died, she lived alone, studying the collection of poems and books left by her husband.And he simply dismissed other suitors, and he didn't pretend at all.After the news spread, everyone was astonished and also sighed: Only Mr. Genji can climb and pluck this high-mountain flower.

There are also some narrow-minded people who are very jealous and comment: It is good luck that a woman of this age can still get the favor of Mr. Genji.

It's a pity that the world is harsh, and it is obvious that the man is chasing after him, but all these incidents are finally regarded as the woman's tricks.Forget it, such nonsense, I just sigh here.

The former Dong Gong was a very respected and noble person during his lifetime. Unfortunately, he died of illness early and was succeeded by the present.Today, he has always respected the former East Palace, and he always has some secret thoughts in his heart, thinking that this throne is worthy of it.He took good care of his widow and orphans.

When the news reached Imamami's ears, he specially announced Mr. Genji into the palace, and gave him a good warning: tell him not to do anything embarrassing.

After Honghuidian heard about this incident, he was even more sarcastic, bluntly saying that what these two people did was really embarrassing.And the marriage of Genji's son also stimulated this female royal from time to time.He is still gnashing his teeth in anger at Minister Zuo's rejection of Dong Gong's marriage proposal.But she changed her mind, instead of marrying the daughter of a princess, she should choose a match from the family.This is more beneficial to them.

Thinking about it this way, Honghuidian couldn't help but think of those beautiful younger sisters at home.Soon, Honghui Palace took them into the palace from time to time on the grounds of missing the sisters.

When the autumn wind blows, it is time to watch the red maple.Prince Ying fell ill due to a cold.The child was so hot that he took off his clothes while practicing fencing in the afternoon, caught a cold for a while, and developed a high fever at night.

For such a serious matter, the entire Chengxiang Palace stayed up all night.The maids ran around, looking for the imperial doctor to find a prescription, panicked and anxious.Her Highness the Royal Highness didn't take off her clothes, she stayed by His Highness the Prince's side all night, holding His Highness Ying's tightly clenched fists due to pain, she refused to leave half a step no matter how much she persuaded her.

This incident quickly alarmed Jinjin and Donggong, and the two also rushed over overnight, anxious for Prince Ying.Those eminent monks who had attained the Tao were proclaimed into the palace overnight to chant scriptures and pray for blessings to drive away evil spirits for the prince.

"My prince, how are you doing now?"

Today, I attach great importance to the Fourth Highness, and asked about the situation with concern.After a careful diagnosis, the imperial physicians said that it was wind evil entering the body.Asked for the prescription, decocted into a good medicine and fed it.

"How long will it take to heal?" Donggong stayed outside because he kept the etiquette, but because he was really worried about Yingying, he couldn't care less and followed in.

"It will be better if this high fever subsides."

His Royal Highness's delicate face was extremely pale at this moment, and his brows were tightly frowned, obviously extremely uncomfortable.After being force-fed a bowl of bitter medicine, he finally had some reactions, struggling and murmuring to drink water.The palace served Shangshui, and the imperial concubine helped the prince to feed him carefully.Seeing that frowning frown subside a little, the anxiety and pain in her heart eased a bit or two.

It will take a very long time to wait for the high fever to subside, and Nu Yugong advised Jinshang to focus on the dragon's body and go back as soon as possible.Although I am worried today, I can't stay here all night.

As for the East Palace, it is even more impossible to stay here.He looked at His Highness Ying's reluctance, and begged his father to let him stay for another half an hour, and leave after getting some comforting facts.

Knowing that the two of them have a deep brotherhood, he was both relieved and worried at the same time, so he nodded and agreed to let Donggong stay here and wait for him to take care of Prince Ying.Then he repeatedly told everyone to heal and serve well, and then he left worriedly.

Suzaku looked at the Fourth Highness distressedly, and couldn't help stroking his younger brother's forehead with his hand.The boy's palm was slightly cold, and Prince Ying subconsciously rubbed it.The scorching temperature made Suzaku worried.

His Royal Highness stood by, smiling and complaining tears, "This child said in the afternoon that he would protect the East Palace, but now he is suffering here. Really, he is really a child who does not make people worry at all."

Suzaku was moved by such a wish, but felt more deeply guilty.This child has paid so much for himself and worked so hard in a place where others can't see.When he was sad and helpless, he always found himself first.

Yes, the child has always been able to find himself.

"firefly……"

Dong Gonggong leaned down and rubbed Prince Ying's forehead with his face.Grateful, distressed, apologetic, moved... so many complicated emotions gathered together.Her lips trembled, but she couldn't speak.Suzaku rubbed Yingying's cheeks, sour tears welled up, but she didn't dare to drip down, for fear that she would become a burden to the child in an instant.

Now, Firefly.

Just treat it for me, get well soon.

The author has something to say: The former Mrs. Donggong is Mrs. Liutiao.It was the woman who turned into an evil spirit and killed Xi Yan and Mrs. Kui (Genji's wife).Her daughter later became the queen of Guangzi, called Queen Qiuhao.Guangyuan, who has no integrity, also hooked up with her daughter at the time, but was rejected (nice job)

The former Donggong is the brother of Emperor Tonghu (now Shang), who died long ago and did not succeed to the throne.

Also, I went to check again.In the original book, the female royals of Chengxiang Palace and the female royals of Honghui Palace were not sisters in the first place, but I remembered wrongly.However, in the original book, the first wife of Prince Yingying is indeed the sister of the female queen of Honghui Palace.I have to say, this relationship is really messy.But at that time, the blood of the Heianjing nobles recognized their mothers but not their fathers, so this kind of thing often happened--

that's all.

Thank you for your message, mine still has favorites.Good night~
