Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

The crowning ceremony under the handsome palace brought a cool breeze in the sweltering midsummer weather to the court hall.

In this great hall where arguing for their own self-interest, the upright and strong voice of the Fourth Highness made the young people dare not be presumptuous any longer.Even if there are some ignorant ghosts and ghosts who do some ignorant tricks secretly, they will always pay a heavy price.This kind of change is not bad, and the one who can feel the most comfort from it is naturally that the East Palace is under.

The mild-tempered but far-sighted eldest son of the emperor, as his intention to abdicate becomes more obvious, he accepts government affairs more and more quickly.He saw many shortcomings and was determined to correct them.However, freezing three feet does not take place in one day, and these disadvantages have accumulated over the years, so it is naturally impossible to get rid of them all at once.The implementation of the New Deal was very difficult, and the East Palace was exhausted.And with the participation of the fourth prince in politics, the situation was finally no longer besieged on all sides, with nowhere to start.

His Majesty Shuai Palace undoubtedly helped him a lot.

The court debate ended today, and a long-disputed reform decree was finally implemented.Suzaku controlled the excitement in his heart and looked down at the handsome palace below, only to see that his expression was calm, as if he had already expected this situation.

After the court, the two princes gathered in Chaoyang House.

"It's really hard for you to be in court today." Suzaku looked at His Highness Ying, and saw that the Fourth Highness was dressed in straight clothes and a black hat, and his whole body was full of youthful but not presumptuous elegance.His Majesty the East Palace seems to like Prince Ying very much, his eyes are full of tenderness, it is extremely lucky to be watched like this.

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince leaned aside, with a relaxed expression, quite lazy.He strictly abides by the etiquette in the palace, and only shows such a lazy look in front of close people.

"I heard about it from Suzaku before, and I have already started to prepare. Fortunately, I was well prepared and there was no delay."

His tone was indifferent, as if it was not worth mentioning.However, how could His Majesty the East Palace not know that the fourth prince was devoting himself to this new policy, and stayed up day and night.What's even more rare is the support of courtiers he won for this move.In this court that is divided into two factions and criticizes each other, there are very few ministers who can stand up for the benefit of the country and the people.

His Majesty Donggong suddenly felt that he was nothing compared to His Highness the Fourth Highness.He was in shackles, and many courtiers did not believe that this Eastern Palace servant was so determined to get rid of his asylum and die.They were skeptical, and even felt that the new policy was just a cover for the right minister to use Dong Gongxia to eradicate dissidents.

Seeing the gloom and guilt hidden in Suzaku's eyes, how could Prince Ying not know what his brother was thinking.He moved his body and approached, "You are the Eastern Palace. As long as you let them see your determination and courage as the future owner, there will naturally be ministers with clear minds who will offer their loyalty to you. As for those doubts and guesses, I will leave them alone." The vassal has come to clear the way for you."

His Majesty Donggong laughed, he was very used to His Royal Highness Ying's utterly serious confession.That kind of tone is too serious, no matter what, I can't bear to refuse this kind of friendship that is comparable to real gold.

"Suzaku just tell me that the grand scene you want to achieve is not a joke."

"Of course it's not a joke. Even if I bear a lot of doubts and ridicules, I have the awareness to go on." His Highness Suzaku's tone and demeanor were very serious, "Even if it is really difficult, as long as Yingying is by my side, I will be happy." There is a reason not to give up."

Hearing these words, His Royal Highness Ying was really stunned.He stared blankly at Suzaku's delicate and elegant face, and those eyes full of lakes and mountains.His Highness's heart was hit by Suzaku's words, and for the first time, he felt that after countless days and nights of chasing, he was finally looked back.

Handsome Palace moved his throat, lowered his eyes, and whispered softly in his slightly hoarse voice, "I will always...will be by Suzaku's side..."

Seeing His Highness Fourth Highness's somewhat unnaturally dazed expression, His Highness Suzaku was in a good mood, feeling inexplicably refreshed to win the round.He rubbed His Royal Highness's hair as usual.But at this time, it was naturally impossible to touch it. Halfway through his hand, he suddenly changed his way and rubbed His Highness Ying's cheek.

This warm touch shocked His Highness Fourth Highness out of the sky again after finally waking up from a slightly trance state.The heat that passed by so casually made the Fourth Highness tremble.A very lingering heat emerged from the depths of the body, lingered in the lower abdomen, gradually burned into a fire, and burned to the heart of the Fourth Highness.

At that moment, Fourth Highness felt a little parched.

All this happened in the blink of an eye.

The Fourth Highness didn't want to lose his composure, so he could barely suppress the restlessness in his heart.He stayed away from it calmly, as if by doing so, the elegant incense on Dong Gong's body would not be able to stir his heartstrings.

Suzaku didn't notice anything unusual about the commander-in-chief, he personally brought the tea set to cook, and decided to enjoy this rare leisure time with His Highness the Fourth Highness.Not to mention how elegant she is sitting upright.His Highness Ying's eyes fell on Suzaku's slender white hands, and his eyes turned around.He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the outside of the courtyard.

After brewing tea and talking about it, the two princes sat around and read a book.Seeing something interesting, the two had to communicate more.At this time, His Highness the Fourth Highness no longer needs the guidance of His Majesty Donggong.Sometimes, the insights he expresses are so admired by the world's great scholars.The two argued about an ancient saying, and in the end the Fourth Highness was slightly better.

Suzaku threw the book aside, it was rare for such an elegant person to disregard his image, "Ah, I lost."

"Suzaku is also very reasonable. This is not a clear-cut theory of winning and losing."

The fourth prince smiled, he liked Suzaku's relaxed side in front of him very much, like a green lotus leaning on a green leaf, with a very elegant and charming style.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered the time when I taught you how to read..." His Highness Suzaku looked at the roof and blinked, "It was still at that time that I had the dignity of being an imperial brother."

The fourth prince's eyes flashed, "...Suzaku, do you like me better at that time?"

"Ha, what are you talking about, Yingying is Yingying, I like it very much."

"Is that so..." His Majesty Shuai was thoughtful, and when he looked over again, his face was already very obedient, "Because I have always been obedient in Suzaku's heart, right?"

"Yes, he is very obedient and sensible," Suzaku sat up straight.Leaping forward, pinching the cheeks of His Royal Highness Fourth, pulling them to the side maliciously, "But this bad habit has never been changed!"

"Okay, okay... I'll change it, I'll change it," His Highness the Fourth Highness struggled away from Suzaku's hand, and tightly held the hand of the East Palace, who wanted to make trouble again, "I will change it right away, my... Your Royal Highness, brother."

After staying in the East Palace all afternoon, His Royal Highness Ying returned to Chengxiang Palace after dinner.The owner of the palace saw His Royal Highness come back, holding the Shuanglu card in one hand, and complained in a very insincere tone: "Ah, His Royal Highness is back, I have been waiting for a long time alone... ah, something went wrong. Already!"

The Fourth Highness didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sat beside his mother, "I am here to make amends to my mother, please forgive me."

Her Royal Highness snorted and threw away the cards.Shouting no more fights, no more fights, tell the palace servants to go down.The maids packed up their things calmly and retreated.

The maid of Chengxiang Palace stretched her body regardless of her appearance, made a fan with her hand, fanned the wind, and said: "I just got the news that today I intend to be promoted to the Central Palace next month."

"Oh? So fast?"

"Yeah, the situation is good now, I'm afraid it will change in the future." Chengxiang Palace's maid said with emotion, "Our Majesty still doesn't believe that His Majesty the East Palace will be able to stabilize Chao Gang."

"It doesn't matter, I just believe it." Shuai Gongxia waved his hand indifferently, "Is the news accurate? Does anyone else know?"

"Absolutely right, this is the only family!" Nuyu smiled proudly, with a somewhat showy tone, "There are always things in the harem that are passed on faster and more secretly than in the previous dynasty, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Prince Ying nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I will go out of the palace to visit my grandfather tomorrow, so I can't stay in the palace to accompany my mother. Please...don't cry. "

"Ah, you child!" Cheng Xiangdian became angry after being exposed to the humiliating scene, "It's really, it's getting worse and worse!"

"After all, it was born by you... It still needs to have some demeanor inherited from the elders, doesn't it?"

Prince Ying smiled heartily, and ordered someone to prepare water for a bath.Seeing the back of his son leaving in a cool way, Cheng Xiangdian glared at him angrily.On the veil barrier, there was faint candlelight, and the long hair of the queen was winding on the ground like a flowing spring, and many unknown past events flowed out of the black hair with light movements.The gentle and nostalgic chuckle sounded and disappeared again, too fast to bear the wind——

"...Who said it wasn't?"

The author has something to say: Sorry——

Awaited--

Two or three more today!
