Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Countless fireworks bloomed in His Highness Ying's mind, just because of Dong Gong's subconscious muttering to himself.The tide of emotion in his heart overflowed, and the full of affection rushed to his throat. Almost in the next second, the fourth prince was about to hold Donggong's hand and express his lovesickness.

But in the end, he just opened his lips, took Suzaku's hand on his shoulder, and gently pressed his cheek against it as if he was blessed by the Buddha.

For the fourth prince, on this foreseeable and difficult road of love, to get such a response... is already very good, very good.

……

After the end of the year-end ceremony, the palace held its own Tage Festival.

This time is the busiest season, the concubines of the various palaces are competing for beauty, whether it is dressing or makeup, they are all top-notch.The most beautiful among them is Zhong Gong. She is already a beautiful person, but now she has added a bit of maternal brilliance, which makes people unable to look away.

At this banquet, it was very rare that the barnacle female royal even brought Prince Quan to participate.For the only son, the barnacle female imperial guard is very careful, and almost does not let him appear in front of others.It seems that as long as you hide, you can resist all harm.Cheng Xiangdian once commented that Barnacle's move was so cautious that he was as timid as a mouse, and it was very unnecessary.

When His Highness Ying accompanied her mother to the table, she happened to see His Highness Barnacle holding a small bowl and feeding the Fifth Prince himself.That careful and tender appearance is really a loving mother.Cheng Xiangdian was very surprised, and winked at his son, "Ah, it's really rare that she brought the fifth prince here."

Shuai Gongxia glanced over there, helped his mother to sit down, and said calmly: "It always has to appear for a while, otherwise it will be forgotten... Maybe it is the order of the father."

There were constant small frictions among the palaces in the harem, and after the fifth prince was born, His Majesty's favor deepened.While Feixiangshe's people became arrogant, they would always offend some people, both overtly and secretly.

Last time, Feixiangshe and the servants of Xuanyao Palace had a dispute about making new clothes and getting accessories for the palace banquet.Both sides spoke very impolitely, and the leader of Feixiangshe bluntly said that the women in Xuanyao Hall were of low status and were not favored, and no matter how well-dressed they were, it was useless.This is really too much!Fortunately, Jiao Shibu appeared in time, and the female palace closed her mouth and left angrily when she saw her abnormally cold face.

This is just a small episode, and there are only a lot of small frictions like this.And His Royal Highness Barnacle didn't seem to care much about Yuxia's matter, and the result became worse.

"When you were young, I wasn't so narrow-minded. At that time, Yingying was very lively, running around in the garden, climbing high, and not crying when you fell down. It's so cute!" Her Royal Highness was beaming. Talking about the appearance of the fourth prince when he was a child, Gu Pan Shenfei's appearance is very lively and agile.The fourth prince listened with a smile on his face, and said that his naughty back then made His Royal Highness tired.

"I'm not afraid of being tired. You are so good now, but I have half of the credit." Cheng Xiangdian waved his hand and shook his head at the other side, "You are really too careful... I don't know if Prince Quan can put him down. Brothers and sisters recognize all."

The prince thought, according to what Barnacle and Imakami think, it is enough for His Highness Quan to know a Prince Guang.

……

After chatting for a while, the palace banquet is about to begin.In the past, such banquets were hosted by His Majesty himself, but this time it was His Majesty the East Palace.Suzaku is tall and straight, with a bright face.There is a calm and unhurried demeanor around him, which is very intoxicating.When the banquet was held, the impromptu poems were both appropriate to the occasion and the season, worthy of his status as the eldest son of the Eastern Palace.

Honghui Palace's daughter, Yu Buwu, was robbed of the limelight by Feixiangshe, and she tried her best to show her status here.Although she is not as good as the Palace of Barnacles in appearance, she has the most ostentation and uses the most luxurious things, overwhelming the other side.

Especially when the East Palace announced the Tage Festival on behalf of His Majesty, the joy and pride on her face could no longer be concealed.Before long, her son will become the most noble person, she will become the supreme empress dowager, and her family will continue the glory of the past generations.For her at this time, it was victory.

In fact, the banquet of Tage is similar every year.The only difference is that people's moods are different.Just like the Right Minister and Honghui Palace, because His Royal Highness Suzaku is about to ascend the throne, their interest is very high.Those who want to cling to will be enthusiastic and flattering, and they will be very active and lively.

However, for some young people, the real lively and fun is still in the middle of the night.Everyone is drunk, and in any corner, they can have a romantic affair.As they sang and passed by, the sleeves of those beautiful people were exposed.I saw it, and quietly inquired at the table.After the banquet is over, go to her and talk about a song about you coming and going, and then make good things happen.

Mr. Shan Xian of Zuo Minister's family took a fancy to a female son.Her appearance is very charming, and her eyes are also full of affection.It made him want to kiss Fangze very much, but he was very depressed because of the occasion and it was not easy to move around.Just as he was restless, when he turned his eyes, he saw His Highness Prince Ying sitting alone, drinking by himself.

That scene was very beautiful and leisurely, but it was a bit out of tune with the current atmosphere - Her Highness Ying had no intention of talking to others at all.Shan Xian recalled that when he had just stepped on the song, the fourth prince's interest was not very high.This is really strange!

On weekdays, the female princes who are close to him will occasionally mention this prince, and they all say that he is handsome but he knows nothing, which hurts the hearts of many girls.In order to make his lover happy, he also wondered why the prince didn't know anything when he was angry.

Mr. Shanxian rolled his eyes and thought of what he said back then that he would take Prince Ying to meet the world.He stroked his chin with great interest, threw the young lady whom he had been thinking about, picked up a jug of wine, and walked towards His Highness the Fourth Highness.

Ying originally wanted to go to the East Palace, but unfortunately, the East Palace was surrounded by several ministers at this time.These ministers are very talented people, the prince didn't want to disturb them, so they sat alone and drank wine.

This wine is very clear, not strong, but the aroma is very unique.It was the good wine that the two Highnesses tasted in Chaoyang House that day.After coming into contact with this familiar smell, His Highness the Fourth Highness naturally missed His Highness Suzaku in his heart.Recalling the beauty of the touch that day, the prince couldn't help but think about Piaoyuan, but there was passion in his eyes.

Just as he was in a silent trance, he suddenly patted someone on the shoulder——

"Your handsome palace!"

This almost caused Prince Ying to choke on the wine.His Highness the Fourth Highness cursed an extremely indecent sentence in his heart, and looked behind him.The general in the head was swept by the knife-wielding gaze, his back trembled three times, and then he leaned over with a smile:

"Your Highness, why are you drinking alone here?" Mr. Shanxian shook his head, very angry at His Royal Highness's behavior, "It's a pity, such a pity for such a good festival night!"

The fourth prince secretly rolled his eyes and pushed the lieutenant general's hand on his shoulder, and asked in a voice without ups and downs: "Then, what do you think, the lieutenant general, how should we not waste this beautiful moment?"

General Shan Xian laughed heartily, and pointed to the side with his chopsticks.The coquettish and unrestrained smile caused a small exclamation from the female family over there.

"Of course I'm looking for a beautiful woman, so I can live up to my love..."

"So that's how it is..." There was nothing new in the answer, the prince turned his head and continued tasting wine.

Seeing that the fourth prince didn't take the bait, Lieutenant General Shan Xian murmured in his heart: No, it must be that he hasn't enlightened yet, probably not.Thinking of this, he hurriedly grabbed Prince Ying's wine glass, and made a big fuss, "Why, it's a waste of them being so well-dressed and beautiful, and you don't have any one to admire?"

His Highness Ying took a handkerchief to wipe the residual wine spilled on his hands, and gave a very unconvincing reason: "The expensive essence is not expensive, and it should be on par with Brother Guanghuang."

"Ha," Mr. Shanxian sneered without hesitation.Prince Guang respects his image, and there are few rumors about sex. The women he associates with are all noble, elegant, and beautiful.But as a good friend of Mr. Genji, how could Mr. Shanxian not understand the character of this character?

General Shan Xian liked to expose this friend's romantic affairs the most, he turned his mouth and said disdainfully: "Don't be fooled by his sanctimonious appearance, when it comes to cleanliness, you should look up to the East Palace——"

How could His Royal Highness Ying not know about these things, when he heard Lieutenant General say that, he just let out a very insincere "Oh" and stopped talking.

But it's so boring to just give up like this.Facing Prince Ying who doesn't like oil and salt, Mr. Shan Xian has a mentality of an old lady.She secretly swears that today she must let the prince open this love aperture!

"Hey! I was taken away by you!" The lieutenant general shouted angrily, "I am a few years older than you, follow me tonight, and I will take you to see the world!"

The prince was speechless, and was about to answer when he heard a very gentle voice from the side——

"What world are you going to take him to see?"

When the two looked up, they saw Dong Gongxia standing in front of them with a slight smile.

The author has something to say: Lieutenant General is actually a super fun person, hahaha——

In addition to being female, I still like him quite a lot.

In addition, something will happen tomorrow night, so it is estimated that the update will not be possible.I'll make it up on Friday~

Also, if you are a sedentary party, you must pay attention to your neck health.I used to look down at my mobile phone and got cervical spondylosis, and it finally got better. Recently, because of overtime work, I don’t move around at home, and it seems to have relapsed again, alas.Be sure to pay attention to your health, okay, good night
