Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Lieutenant General Shan Xian turned around and ran away.

With the mentality of running for his life, he ran all the way in a panic, until the East Palace and the Shuai Palace could no longer see him.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous..." The lieutenant general and minister patted his chest, looking back from time to time, "Why does it feel like being caught while having an affair?"

Mr. Shan Xian, who had lingering fears, obviously didn't realize that there was something wrong with his metaphor.He thought back to the eyes that Donggong looked at just now, full of threats and malice.

I definitely saw that there is a terrible evil ghost now behind Dong Gongxia!Absolutely not wrong!That gentle Highness is really scary.I obviously did nothing wrong, why are you looking at me with such terrifying eyes.

Mr. Shan Xian hugged his shivering body, wanting to cry but no tears.

Prince Ying looked at the back of the lieutenant general fleeing, and laughed happily.He propped his forehead with his hands, and his eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons when he smiled, which was really pretty.Dong Gong glanced at Ying helplessly, and after thinking about it, he felt that the scene just now was very funny, so he couldn't help but also laughed.

With such joy, the atmosphere became very relaxed.Prince Ying calmed down for a while before going to get the wine glass on the low table, with a pleasant smile still on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, it's better to drink less wine," His Royal Highness Suzaku stopped his hand, "If you drink too much, you'll get a headache and it's not good for your health."

"It's okay, I don't drink much. This is the same kind I drank at Chaoyangshe last time, and the taste is more mellow. Why don't you try it again?"

Last time at Chaoyang House, the two brothers competed for wine.The wine was indeed clear and delicious, with endless aftertaste.Suzaku's eyes lit up when the Fourth Highness said this.In the end, he nodded and said that he only drank a little.His Royal Highness Ying smiled, turned his wrist, and poured a cup for himself and Dong Gong.

Holding the wine cups, the two of them were not in a hurry, and put the fine wine to their noses leisurely, smelling the clear aroma of the wine.They chatted one after another.

"Have we finished talking about everything?" Prince Ying was referring to the scene where several ministers came to the East Palace just now.

His Royal Highness Suzaku nodded, "There is no problem with the government affairs before, and the new policy will continue to be implemented after the spring. The officials appointed by the county council are also all right."

"It's good that it goes smoothly. There is no change in Kyushu, and all the news is good."

Half a year ago, the newly appointed taciturn but very upright Dazai Daiji-sama was none other than Noyama Kohei's father.He went to Kyushu with the order of His Royal Highness, except for being in charge of Dazaifu.It is even more important to control the entire Kyushu in secret, and dig out the forces behind it that are hidden deeper.

But before he took office, he left his only son Xingping in the capital because his noisy son would cause trouble.This made Mr. Onoshan heartbroken, and the handsome palace gave him half a month's leave before he recovered.

"You don't have to be so anxious, and let those people continue to be drunk and dreamy, and don't have to wake up so early."

"Those people can do it, but the Second Prince can't." The fourth prince took a sip of the wine, his eyes serious, "It's just that our Lord Yeshan has worked so hard, and we can't have a good rest in the New Year."

Suzaku fixedly glanced at Prince Ying, turned around, and asked the question that he cared about just now.

"Just now, Mr. Shan Xian from Zuo Chancellor's family told you the world-famous things..."

"Huh?" The Fourth Highness rolled his eyes with a smile, "Why, does Suzaku care?"

Suzaku felt a little uncomfortable on his back from being stared at by those eyes, but due to his responsibility as an elder brother, he still bite the bullet and said, "Mr. Shan Xian is a straightforward and easy-going person, so it's good to make friends with him. However, in this style... It's always too flirtatious. Ah, I'm not against people who have relationships with Hotaru... But, in this regard, that... it's better to be more restrained. Well, it's better to be restrained."

The East Palace organized the words and sentences for a long time, but finally found the right words, and he couldn't help repeating them seriously.

The fourth prince finally couldn't bear it any longer, put down the wine cup, and laughed more wantonly than before.He laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, and he leaned against Dong Gong.Embarrassed and helpless by his laughter, Suzaku lifted the shoulders of His Royal Highness and said angrily, "What's so funny about this!"

"No, Suzaku, no..." Prince Ying laughed incoherently. Seeing that His Royal Highness was really annoyed, he held his breath and suppressed his smile, "I didn't mean to laugh, it's just... just because it's too late. Happy."

Suzaku's face was puzzled, and there was still a little bit of annoyance that did not fade away, which made his facial features brighten up.

The light of the jade pot turns, and the fragrance of the beautiful night flows.

Every word and every movement of the people in front of you can be painted.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, but the prince would rather die drunk in this scenery forever.There was a hot and sour feeling of alcohol rushing into the eyes, Yingying immersed herself in it, and got closer to the Taoyuan Township in her dream.

"Suzaku, you can care about me so much...why am I unhappy?"

His Majesty the East Palace sighed, and pushed the head of His Highness the Fourth Prince away, "Brother Huang is not joking. Although it is difficult, Brother Huang still hopes that you can find a daughter with similar status and like-mindedness to get married. Instead of Follow them around..."

Equivalent status, like-minded?Didn't I already find it, the fourth prince thought to himself.Although, there is still a little difference, but there is no need to worry.

"I didn't mess around with them." His Highness looked innocent, and spread his palms to show his innocence, "Just now, I did not agree to what the Lieutenant General told me."

"It's just a little bit of concern. It's best if you can measure it."

"Because of this, Suzaku trusts and cares about me. I am very happy, very very happy!"

After talking for a long time and then came back, Suzaku secretly rolled his eyes.It was only when His Royal Highness was too drunk to speak clearly.

Speaking of Donggong's feelings for His Highness the Fourth Highness, there is no doubt that it is an incomparable brotherhood in the world.Since His Royal Highness Ying first entered the imperial palace, he showed his heart to Suzaku without reservation, and Suzaku has guarded Prince Ying like a treasure.And because of such dependence, Suzaku couldn't bear to refuse Prince Ying's request.

Time and time again, as we get older, some encounters seem out of place, too intimate.Sometimes Donggong also felt uncomfortable, but the innocent eyes that the fourth prince looked over in vain always made Donggong feel that he was thinking too much.

At this time, Donggong is only a commander-in-chief, but he has just grown up, his love has not yet opened, and he doesn't know what the relationship between a man and a woman is.I have to take care of it carefully everywhere, and I am very worried.

And Her Highness Ying is greedy for every tactile sensation of being in contact with Suzaku, so of course she conceals her true appearance in her heart, pretending to be the innocent appearance that Suzaku likes.

The banquet was really lively. Someone recited a good poem to congratulate the New Year in the hall, which attracted applause from all the halls.I was aroused today and said that I want to couplet poems.The servants in the hall presented the box containing the rhymes, and His Majesty waved his hand and told Prince Quan to catch it.

His Highness the Fifth was hugged in his arms, giggling and grabbing one from the box.The palace attendants opened it and announced loudly: "I found the rhyme of the word 'Wu'."

Princes, princes, ministers and all the learned people who are proficient in literature came forward, Lieutenant General Lieutenant General liked the excitement the most, so he spoke the first sentence first.Secondly, Mr. Genji followed closely.Everyone couldn't help comparing the two, secretly evaluating who was better.

As for the rest, they seemed a little stage frightened.In front of the talented emperor, the princes, and many generous people, it is really embarrassing to appear in front of such a large audience.Affected by this kind of psychology, the couplet poems, which were not difficult at first, turned into a heavy burden.Some old doctors, though inconspicuous in their shabby clothes, are veterans of the literary world.Accustomed to this way, showing a familiar look.

For a while, this poetry competition became a special event for several people.

His Majesty the Shuai Palace had no interest in other matters unrelated to the East Palace. He motioned forward and asked the East Palace next to him, "Do you want to participate?"

Suzaku lazily glanced at the people in the hall who were struggling to think of the next line of Prince Guang's poem, looking uninterested, "Don't dare to compete with them."

The two His Highnesses had no intention of participating in such a lively event, so they just hid aside and talked about ordinary trivial matters, and they were very leisurely.While chatting like this, I heard a respectful and flattering greeting.

"Sir, please greet the two Highnesses."

Standing in front of Suzaku and Hotaru was a Daisuke of the Minbu.He is extremely fat, usually pampered, very rich, his face is full of oil.At this time, he was holding a wine glass, bending over with difficulty and standing in front of the two princes to say hello.

According to his position, it is rare for him to have direct contact with the prince on weekdays.Only at this kind of banquet can one have the opportunity to say a word or two with such an honorable person.

Because of this, even now he could hardly stand up, and greasy sweat appeared on his forehead.He still bent over respectfully and carefully, with a smile on his face.

Illuminated by the bright candlelight lantern, Suzaku didn't see clearly the facial features of this lord for a moment.He struggled to recognize it for a while, and then hurriedly asked him to stand up and asked the lord to sit down.

Daisuke-sama was very happy, straightened his fat waist, wiped the oily sweat from his face with his sleeve, and sat down with difficulty.Seeing him like this, Prince Ying couldn't help laughing, and His Royal Highness Suzaku twisted the flesh on his waist severely a few times.

The author has something to say:

Regarding Prince Guang, after reading novels, I feel that he is not a person who is particularly keen on political struggles.On the contrary, I like falling in love, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, reciting poems and composing Fu very much.However, writing from the perspective of Suzaku, there will always be some contrast when writing about it, which will make him stand out.But think about it, isn't it fair? It doesn't matter, others will give it to you, obviously someone has worked so hard to protect it.

Make up for the update on Thursday and Friday, there will be a chapter later
