Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

This pinch is not heavy, but it is not light.

The Fourth Highness was pinched so that his whole body tensed up, and he didn't dare to make a sound.After Donggong stopped, Prince Ying looked over pitifully, with a very innocent accusation in his eyes.Suzaku glared at him.

Daisuke-sama, who saw the interaction between the two princes, didn't know what happened, so he agreed with a smile: "The relationship between the two princes is really good."

"My lord, is there something important to do here?" Prince Ying was in a good mood, put away his playful expression, and asked.

The grown-up laughed, and the fat on his chin twitched.His round face was so fat that it was boundless, and his eyes were squeezed into two curved slits.Even so, the two Highnesses still felt that his eyes must have rolled several times. "Hey hey hey, it's not important, it's not important, I dare not have important things..."

"Oh?"

"Your Royal Highnesses look like dragons and phoenixes, and I dare to take advantage of this feast today to wish your Highnesses... this, this... your health is safe, safe."

"Thank you for your concern, sir, and may you be in good health."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Shuai!" Daisuke raised his voice, and the fat on his cheeks trembled twice.The lord obviously had something to say, he rubbed his hands, leaned forward, his loose clothes were stretched on his flesh, and turned into a circle, "This Tage feast is the most romantic, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies It should be a perfect match. I don't know, this...hehe, do the two Highnesses have a female son whom you admire?"

What happened today, one by one, came to worry about such things.The fourth prince secretly thought it was very funny.He just smiled and didn't speak while holding the wine cup.His Majesty Donggong disliked this lord's behavior very much, but his temper has always been relatively mild.He euphemistically expressed that he and Prince Ying had no such intentions.

If the grown-up is sensible, he will take advantage of the donkey going down the slope to avoid coming and going.But what Suzaku didn't expect was that he would make an inch of it, and said with joy on his face: "That's why I didn't meet a good one. Oh, there are too many people at this banquet. The minister just knows that there is a lovely person with both talent and appearance." My son, why don't you ask your servants to introduce you to the two highnesses!"

His Majesty Donggong had never seen such a brazen person before, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything.On the contrary, Prince Ying laughed, and he said: "I don't know which daughter is it, who is so respected by you, my lord?"

"Your Highness, please look this way," the lord moved his body very courteously, pointing in a certain direction, "it's the woman in the white dress and green skirt."

His Highness Ying looked over, and saw that the young lady was dressed in a beautiful and elegant attire, which was indeed very different among all the beauties.While speaking, the woman's body moved, and in response to a bachelor's words, she combined a poem.The words are also elegant and unique, which is very good.As for the facial features, they are far away, and through the curtain, they can't be seen very clearly.

However, as far as this is concerned, it has already been spent on this.This type is indeed based on the intention of the East Palace.As for the fourth prince, he looked different, so he probably noticed a point or two.

Shuai Gongxia glanced at it from a distance, noncommittal.He only said to this courteous minister who was laughing and smiling: "This young lady is indeed different, she is amazing and stunning, but..."

Daisuke-sama was very happy to be praised, but His Highness paused in the second half of the sentence, which made his face change in fright, "Just, just what, what?"

"It's just that there are two people between me and His Royal Highness, but my lord only introduced one daughter. Could it be that my lord wants me to compete with the East Palace?"

"This! This! This... Where does this come from! This subject is just..."

Daisuke was terrified, stuttered and couldn't speak, cold sweat dripped down the fat on his face.Just as he was about to explain, Dong Gongxia said coolly: "It turns out that Daisuke-sama came here with the intention of making my brothers quarrel."

The future host is majestic Tiancheng, and he glanced over, hiding nine days of thunder: "My lord, it's really a good plan."

Daisuke Minbu resigned in a shitty manner.

Prince Ying looked at the posture of the minister who was almost running away in embarrassment, propped his chin and sighed leisurely: "Oh, this is the second person Suzaku scares away today."

Suzaku laughed, "Oh, isn't it you who are scheming?"

"Okay then," Prince Ying readily acknowledged, "you one and me one, so we'll be even."

Dong Gong, who didn't know the meaning of this at all, was helpless. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only cry and laugh while holding his forehead to admit it.

……

In a blink of an eye, April has arrived, and at this time, the cherry blossoms in the world have withered.If people want to see the cherry blossoms again, they can only recall the peerless demeanor of Mr. Genji at the cherry blossom banquet in the February Palace.At the palace banquet, Prince Guang once again amazed the world by dancing to the song "Spring Oriole Singing"!What is the peerless demeanor, I will not say more here, only know that after a long time, someone still mentioned it.

Soon, the sunflower festival of the new year will come again.There is no doubt that this year's envoy is of course Mr. Genji.How many people in the palace wanted to go to see the magnificent scenery, but they couldn't go, they all felt extremely regretful and stomped their feet in annoyance.Prince Ying recalled the warm memories of watching the Sunflower Festival with Suzaku that year.But this year, he is naturally more willing to accompany Donggong in the palace.

Perhaps it was because everyone's hearts were tied to the outside world, the Chaoyang Palace seemed extraordinarily quiet and the atmosphere was very leisurely.One of them deals with government affairs and the other reads books.It is also very pleasant to exchange opinions occasionally.

"call……"

Finally finished dealing with the matters in hand, Suzaku stretched out his arms, feeling his shoulders were sore.When he turned his head and was about to ask His Royal Highness to take a rest together, he saw that the Fourth Prince was fascinated by something in front of the bookcase.Suzaku walked over and patted His Highness Fourth on the shoulder.

"What are you looking at?"

"Well, this."

His Highness the Fourth Highness raised his hand, it was a collection of poems.These poems were all written by Donggong a long time ago, they were collected together, and they have not been supplemented for a long time.Dong Gong took it and flipped through it himself.Just as he was about to say something with a smile, he saw a light piece of paper flying down and floating between the two of them.

His Highness Ying has excellent eyesight, and he recognized the handwriting of a girl's family at a glance.But before he could move, Dong Gong had already picked up the paper.

"Ah, it turned out to be this." After realizing what it was, Suzaku smiled, "I forgot when it was put here?"

"What is it?"

"A long time ago, someone sent it." Donggong didn't elaborate on who it was.He just pointed to a very high box on the bookcase and said, "Originally, I put all these letters in that cabinet, but I didn't expect that there were still some missing."

The fourth prince groaned, glanced at the box, and said to Suzaku: "I've been reading this collection of poems for a long time, and I think it's very well written, and I'm fascinated by it."

"I wrote it a long time ago, and now I don't have such leisure time."

"Writing poems is just a way of cultivating. When you are interested, write a sentence or two. It is not beautiful to deliberately." The fourth prince was so relieved, "Now is a good time, why don't I play a song or two to relieve fatigue."

"Haha, of course I can't ask for it. Maybe I haven't heard the sound of Yingying's piano for a long time. Come here, get the piano quickly!"

……

……

After the Aoi Festival was over, the Fourth Highness went to the Minister's Office and met Noyama Kohei once.This lord specially brought the good news from Kyushu to His Royal Highness this time.His father has already mastered the power of Dazaifu and the power of Kyushu.The process report was very detailed, His Royal Highness read each item one by one, and praised: "Lord Ye Shan is indeed a formidable person."

Lord Xingping and You Rongyan, if there is a tail behind him, it must have been raised long ago!

Seeing his appearance, the prince took it for granted, and asked casually, "Is there anything interesting recently?"

"Hey! Your Highness! How do you know that I know a lot of interesting things!"

"Of course it's because you look like I'm going to bite someone if you don't let me talk..."

"..."

Your Majesty Handsome Palace, you really don't speak good things as always.

Although he was slandering in his heart, Lord Xingping happily shared with His Highness the anecdotes about Kyoto that he had learned recently.The most ups and downs are the series of things that happened during the sunflower festival.

It is said that on the day of the festival in the Zhaiyuan, Mrs. Kui and Mrs. Liutiao went to watch together, and the two bullock carts happened to be blocked head-on.One is the wife of Mr. Genji, and the other has a relationship with him.This meeting really whetted the appetite of the onlookers.The two sides fought each other, and in the end Mrs. Liu Tiao endured the humiliation and gave way.She is also a noble and proud person, and she doesn't know how to be ashamed of being humiliated like this.

As for Mrs. Kui winning this game, she didn't win every game.On the day of the Aoi Festival, Genji finished his work as an imperial envoy and came out to watch.In the end, he didn't bring his wife out, but brought the wife he raised in Ertiaoyuan.It seems that Prince Guang's love is not with the first two wives.

Master Ye Shan spoke with joy, and finally commented with great emotion.For the two wives of the Shang family who had lost face in front of the public, they expressed a lot of emotion.This anecdote was told by Mr. Xingping that it was full of ups and downs, and it was only applauded.However, there is only one audience here, His Highness the Fourth Highness, so he was very disappointed.

But what he didn't expect was that today's handsome palace minister unexpectedly expressed his own opinion——

"Since there are so many twists and turns, it is really exciting."

Xingping was very pleasantly surprised, "Really! You think so too, Your Highness!"

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness replied lightly, obviously not distracted, "Xingping, are you very interested in that lady from Nitiaoyuan?"

"That's natural. I don't know what kind of person it is that attracted the attention of Mr. Genji."

"Oh, then you should go and investigate carefully to see what kind of beauty this daughter of the Ministry of War is."

……

Before waiting for the excited Master Yeshan to find out something.Minister Zuo really had an accident.Besides, the fact that Kui Ji was fighting for the car and her husband left her to go out with other women did make Mrs. Kui very angry and annoyed.Seeing that resentful appearance, Mr. Shan Xian was very angry, wishing to catch his friend and beat him up.Minister Zuo also sighed again and again, unable to figure out what he had done to make his son-in-law neglect his daughter so much.

Mrs. Kui's appearance was too haggard, which was really distressing. Minister Zuo hurriedly called the imperial doctor to see her.Unexpectedly, this investigation turned out to be pregnant.

The author has something to say:

The plot of the car dispute and Mrs. Kui's pregnancy was moved forward by two years.At this time, Ying 13, Guang 20, and Suzaku 21 are all real years old.

Done, sleep!
