Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Just as the minister of the interior thought, the general has had a miserable time during this period.

Facing the coercion and lure of the right minister, he neither dared to speak too much to offend others, nor did he really want to agree to such a request that would never return.

The messages in the hall became more and more intense, as if it was a certainty that the two families would marry each other, and some people even prepared congratulatory gifts.And the invitations from Honghui Palace became more and more frequent. The general asked his daughter to pretend to be sick to avoid all kinds of invitations, and Honghui Palace immediately sent the royal doctor in the palace to come to see the doctor, as a gesture of concern.

My father waited and waited and waited for the turning point he said, but there was no sign of him. The general was so anxious that a circle of blisters appeared on his mouth, and he couldn't eat or sleep well.

Finally, the general, who couldn't bear it any longer, ran to his father crying for help.In the helpless words, there was a bit of complaint: It was agreed earlier that His Majesty would come forward to resolve this matter, why it has been so long since there was any movement, didn't father agree with Jinshang?

The Minister of Internal Affairs heard the meaning behind his son's words, and snorted coldly, "I'm going to imply what I want, and it's not my daughter!"

Knowing that he had offended his father by saying the wrong thing again, the general rushed to apologize.But after begging for a long time, Master Oral Medicine was still so angry that he didn't speak.The general had no choice but to look at His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince sitting beside him with pleading eyes.

His Majesty the Shuai Palace has been living in the Sanjo Courtyard recently, and he is quite busy with government affairs.The time to see Suzaku has also decreased, which made him feel the pain of lovesickness that the predecessors said "not seeing each other in one day is like three autumns apart".However, the adults in the inner palace always let the handsome palace servants accompany them on the pretext of playing chess, so that the fourth prince didn't even have a chance to calm down and think about the East Palace.

After playing two games of chess with his grandfather, His Royal Highness Ying released the water calmly, so happy that the master of the inner palace raised his beard.Thinking of this, he could go back earlier, but he didn't expect that the arrival of the general would disturb the interest of the master of the inner palace, which made the inner minister very unhappy.Playing with his temper and ignoring his son, Prince Ying couldn't leave.

After receiving the distress signal from his uncle, the Fourth Prince glanced at the Lord of the Neifu, only to see him squinting his eyes as if I just didn't want to talk.Prince Ying sighed helplessly in his heart, adjusted his posture and analyzed it with the general.

"I also know the difficulties of my uncle," the prince explained the matter a little more clearly, "but the emperor doesn't know. He saw that you are getting closer to the right minister day by day, and His Royal Highness Honghui still cares about Wutong so much. Ji, I think you are willing to make this marriage."

"This, this, this!" The general was dumbfounded, and he said all the truth in a flash, "I dare not do this! How dare I accept this marriage? The right minister has a high position and authority, but I just dare not." Refuse!"

"Then why, uncle, don't you cry in front of the emperor?"

"This……"

"I also heard that my father wanted to marry Wutong Ji for my brother, but my grandfather refused because my younger sister was still young. You can also use this reason to explain to my father."

"But..." the general hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice, "Since it was my father who came forward last time, why didn't my father..."

Prince Ying took a deep breath, looked at his grandfather whose face was becoming more and more ugly, and finally understood the elder's feelings a little in his heart.He sorted out his language and continued:

"But you are Wu Tong Ji's father, aren't you? Last time, the matter of father and emperor's desire to get married was not announced on the table. If my grandfather hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know about it. So it's just intentional, and he can come forward to refuse. But this time, the minister on the right made a public show of favor. Even if the emperor did not want to see such a scene, he would not speak out because of various reasons. One, he did not want to offend the two clans. Two, he also wanted to To test your attitude. You have not stated your position, and the emperor still thinks that you are willing to attach yourself to the right ministers, and you look down on the royal family."

With the character of a general, it's unclear if he doesn't hit a heavy hammer.At the end of the sentence, His Royal Highness described the seriousness of the matter again, and the general was so frightened that his buttocks fell on the ground.

"So, if you want to solve this matter, go to the palace now. Cry about your difficulties, only saying that Ji Wutong is innocent and ignorant, and that she is too young and ignorant to be a crown princess. Father will understand your difficulties. "

"As long as I cry in the palace, will His Majesty help to refuse!"

"As long as you sincerely ask..."

"Okay, okay, I'm entering the palace now, I'm entering the palace now!"

The general walked out in a hurry, his figure was so eager that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes.

Finally sent the lord away, the face of the lord of the Neifu is still stinky.He opened his eyes reluctantly, stared at the fourth prince, and let out a cold snort from his nose, "Scaremongering!"

His Royal Highness Ying smiled, "Tell me the truth."

"Your uncle has mediocre qualifications, but he doesn't want to make progress, and always wants to escape when things happen. He is drunk all day long, and when I am an old bone, I can always solve everything for him!" Speaking of his eldest son, Neifu Adults are never satisfied.Among the several sons and daughters, the one who is most sympathetic to the minister of the inner palace is the daughter of Chengxiang Palace, but she is born as a woman, and her family business is hopeless. "I don't ask him how to honor the lintel of the family, he will keep everything, and his life will be safe."

Prince Ying was sympathetic to his grandfather's concerns, but he didn't like to criticize his elders, so he comforted him: "The brothers and sisters are all smart people, so grandfather doesn't need to worry."

This is indeed true, and the face of the Minister of Internal Affairs is also slightly better.

"This matter...will hurt Donggong's face in the end, you..."

"Grandpa doesn't need to worry, the East Palace has already known about it." His Highness the Fourth Highness signaled the ministers of the inner court not to worry about the East Palace, "It was the emperor's brother's suggestion to ask my uncle to ask Father the Emperor."

"I see……"

That day the two princes discussed how to resolve the matter, His Royal Highness Ying told Suzaku the fact that Jinshang had intended to marry.After hearing this, Suzaku said, if this is the case, the emperor will be even more willing to agree to the general's request.Knowing a son is like a father, Suzaku knows better than anyone: how much his father does not want Honghui Palace and the right minister to have their wishes come true.Even for this matter, he had made a move.

……

The general listened to what the prince said, went into the palace and cried out his difficulties.In the end, he came out wiping his tears, looking very pitiful.

Not long after, another banquet was held in Honghui Hall.This time, Imagami just happened to pass by and had fun together happily.At the banquet, he specially summoned Wutong Ji.He said with a smile: "It is indeed like a peony, but it is still a little smaller. It will not be fully bloomed. In two years, it will be a world-renowned beauty. It's a pity that among my sons, the one who can match it, But only your brother!"

After these words came out, the faces of the Queen of Honghui Palace were extremely ugly in the second half of the game.It can be said that the banquet was held with a strong smile.

After today's words spread, everyone knew that this relationship could not be married.The rest of the people's eagerness to move was restless, and eventually they were all drowned in the crowd's discussion.

It is needless to say how angry His Royal Highness Honghui was.The general, however, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried into the palace to thank His Royal Highness the fourth prince.Unexpectedly, the East Palace also happened to be in Chengxiang Hall.The general was a little embarrassed at first, but he felt a little relieved when he saw that the two princes were still close to each other and there was no discord.After saying a few words without embarrassment, he left and went to greet the maid of Chengxiang Palace.

"Look at my uncle, he couldn't speak clearly just now."

"Who made me the victim here?" Dong Gong smiled softly, "I'm afraid I will hold grudges in my heart."

"How can others know how good you are?"

This is said sincerely and earnestly, which is really touching.Donggong's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. Looking into His Highness Shangying's eyes, he joked, "Where did you learn such sweet words? What kind of female son did you say it to the emperor brother, huh?"

Shuai Gongxia smiled heartily, "Suzaku likes it? Then I will tell you every day..."

"Not big or small, what nonsense."

His Majesty Dong Gong only thought it was a harmless joke, but he didn't know how much truth Prince Ying had mixed into it.His Highness looked at Suzaku's indifferent expression, and comforted himself in his heart, that one day Suzaku would believe all this and engrave all the words he said on his heart.Let Suzaku be like himself, tossing and turning for each other, with lovesickness flooding like a sea.
