Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

The emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.The changes in this palace are not small.

First, let’s talk about the owner who is extremely elegant and finally got his wish.After Tonghuyuan abdicated, the whole person seemed to relax.He let go of the heavy burden on his body and fell in love with his elegant and carefree hobbies.Reciting poems and painting every day, I am so happy—even the wrinkles on my face have decreased a lot, and I have regained my youthful charm.

Now, the only thing he worries about is His Highness Fifth Prince Quan.He would often ask people to bring the fifth prince from the palace to the Vermilion Bird Courtyard, to educate him personally and play with him.The strong feeling of licking the calf is really touching.

As for political affairs, he naturally left them all to the new emperor and didn't want to worry about them.It's just that before he abdicated, he repeatedly told him to take good care of the other princes, especially this poor man who had no support from his mother.

Tonghuyuan has already abdicated, and his harem has to make arrangements.The Honghui Hall is the Queen Mother, and her wish for many years has finally come true, so naturally she wants to stay in the main hall.Barnacle Zhonggong is the mother of the Eastern Palace, no matter to take care of the Eastern Palace or her status, she will stay in Feixiangshe.Thinking about it, Honghuidian must be very unhappy.

The other female royal changers also had no one to miss in this imperial palace, and naturally they also dispersed for the new emperor's ascension to the throne.Let's not talk about how sour and complicated other people's hearts are, but the daughter of Chengxiang Palace is really happy in her heart.After all the matters were taken care of, she happily returned to the residence of the Minister of the Interior with a group of maids.

The wife of the Minister of the Interior has been looking forward to it for many years, and finally sees her daughter coming home.Excited and unbearable, the mother and daughter hugged each other and wept sadly, causing everyone around to wipe away their tears with their sleeves.

After all the flying birds scattered in the forest, the originally bustling and bustling imperial palace revealed a little bit of loneliness.But these are really not a bad thing for the handsome palace.

Because the Chengxiang Hall in the palace was specially given to His Highness the Fourth Highness, as long as he wanted to, he could stay in the palace and accompany Suzaku all the time.And this turbulent harem has dispersed many people, making His Highness Ying feel in vain that he and Suzaku are the only two people in the palace.This kind of situation where no one can disturb him and Suzaku's closeness makes him very satisfied and enjoys, and he wishes to continue like this for the rest of his life.

After this change, everyone has a little change around them.The new emperor's ascension to the throne seemed to bring a new kind of expectation.When the wind of the beginning of all things blows through the treetops, lovely green shoots grow, giving people the hope of waiting again.

It's just that among the royal family, the only one who feels depressed is Mr. Genji.Suzaku is a very kind elder brother, and his attitude towards Hikari is still very gentle and caring after he ascended the throne.Although Emperor Tonghu has many instructions, emotionally speaking, he is a little closer to His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness.Therefore, compared with Tonghuyuan's reign, the attention that Genji Gongzi received was not so kind.But the most important thing is that Genji finds that he can no longer easily approach the sweetheart he misses and loves in the name of asking for peace, and becomes extremely disappointed and distressed.

In a blink of an eye, it is early spring again, the cherry blossoms are still in their prime, and the wisteria is in full bloom again.The most gorgeous two-color flowers competed for beauty, which reminded people of the debate over the cherry vines a while ago, and they all defended their favorite flowers.

Besides, the rattan flower is the emblem of the right minister's clan.At this time, Suzaku ascended the throne, and as the right ministers of the new emperor's family, the power in the court became stronger and stronger.In addition, the power of the internal ministers headed by the fourth prince seems to have a rift with the new emperor, and they stand on the sidelines with no one to compete with him.The Zuo minister's faction had to temporarily avoid their edge, and thus formed a scene of dominance by one family.This powerful adult seems to have seen the grand occasion of the family reaching the pinnacle. He is full of ambition, showing his sharpness, and has forgotten all the troubles of the previous days.It is also such a good time, he naturally wants to prove that vine flowers are the most glorious flowers in the world.

For this reason, Minister You specially held a banquet of rattan flowers in his mansion.

In order to support himself, the right minister invited all the famous public officials and nobles in the imperial capital, and the momentum was so huge that it was astonishing.Some families with a slightly lower family background, in order to get the opportunity to enter the Banquet of Vine Flowers, tried everything possible.As for the people who got the invitations, they naturally had to show off for a while, telling how they were valued and how extraordinary they were.

The invitation to His Highness Prince Ying was handed to His Highness the Fourth Highness in person when Minister You came to meet Suzaku one day.That day, His Majesty Shuai happened to be in the Qingliang Hall, and the right minister came straight in and said that he came to deliver the post.

His Highness Ying slightly raised his eyebrows, accepted the invitation without changing his face, and said hard work.The minister on the right laughed and said that it would be the greatest honor to invite His Highness the Fourth Highness to visit.His Majesty Shuai Gong smiled without saying a word, expressing that he will attend when the time comes.Seeing this, the right minister said he was rude and left Qingliang Hall.

"He is very clear," the fourth prince threw the invitation in front of him, and snorted softly, "Knows that I am here."

Suzaku picked up the invitation card and looked it over carefully.The paper used to make the invitations is exquisite and gorgeous, and the decorations are also very elegant.The handwriting on it is wild and bold, very imposing.He looked at it carefully, and said with a gentle smile, "It really matches my grandfather's temperament."

"I don't want to go." The fourth prince curled his lips and almost rolled his eyes.

Suzaku laughed loudly, "Just now I agreed politely, why did I turn my face now?"

Shuai Gong tilted his head, propped his chin with his hand, approached Suzaku and said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it's because compared to Fujika, my brother thinks that the emperor's brother is more beautiful, and he's so pretty."

"You're talking nonsense again!" Suzaku slammed Shuai Gong's forehead hard, not wanting to pay any attention to such teasing words. "However, if you really don't want to go, then don't force it. It's true that you can't appreciate the real beauty in such a flower feast."

His Highness the Fourth Highness was knocked, and when he saw it was good, he retreated back, lowering his eyes with a smile to cover up the seriousness in his eyes.Then he said: "Since the invitations have been delivered in person, why not go, I just feel a little boring."

Shuai Gong lowered his head slightly, his sword eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his deep eyes seemed to contain stars, attracting people to stop.Suzaku turned to look at him, feeling a continuous soreness in his heart for some reason.At that time, he bestowed the Palace of Chengxiang to His Majesty Shuai because he actually had his own selfish motives.

Just because all the old people in the palace left one after another, in this palace that symbolized supreme authority, he felt lonely in his heart.

Subconsciously, Suzaku wanted someone to accompany her.And the No.1 choice that came to mind was Prince Yingying.Even if he is selfish, Suzaku really doesn't want to be that real loner.

Although the fourth prince didn't say anything, Suzaku had already sensed his exhaustion hidden behind others.That sound of boredom may be the unconscious expression of His Highness Fourth Highness's mood towards the current hustle and bustle.

This child should have been the most carefree and wanton prince in this royal capital.It is because of me, a useless brother, that I carry so many burdens.I swore to keep his promise before, but I broke my promise.

The new emperor felt so ashamed that he couldn't help but shake his brother's hand.His Royal Highness Ying looked at Suzaku's initiative to hold her in surprise, but before he could react, he was overjoyed because of Suzaku's next sentence: "If Ying feels bored, how about going to Chunshan to enjoy the scenery next time? If you don't I hate you, Brother Huang will go with you..."

That kind of real joy surged up from my heart.The prince tightened his palms, firmly held Suzaku's hand in his own, narrowed his eyes and said: "You said this, don't go back on your word!"

"Of course not." Suzaku was not surprised that there was something wrong with it, but he didn't break away as long as the fourth prince still had a childlike heart, "It's fine if you don't despise me for being vulgar."

His Highness Ying smiled and said nothing, just picked up the disliked invitation and put it in his sleeve, then went to talk about other interesting things with Suzaku.

The right minister's rattan banquet was for showing off and demonstration, so he also sent the invitation to Mr. Genji.When the invitation was received, the prince was greeting Tonghu, and he didn't want to go at first.But I heard my father say: "Such an arrogant tone, he is very confident in the wisterias in his house. Naturally, it's elegant and fun, just go!"

Hearing what his father said, Genji also agreed.

One is that he is the most chic and romantic character, and he is never afraid of such a scene.Secondly, he remembered that he had met a girl as beautiful as the moon at the cherry blossom banquet in the palace last year. After some inquiries, he probably confirmed that she was a daughter of the right minister's family.If you can take this banquet, it might be an elegant thing to meet him again.

In this way, Minister You invited all the people he wanted.Everyone found out that this banquet not only had various ministers, but also distinguished figures such as Hongye Zhigong and Genji Gongzi.They all said that the right minister's family is worthy of being the largest family today, and the right minister is the most powerful minister.If you want to come to any person related to it, the future must be unlimited.

Those who reacted quickly were already thinking about what kind of gift to prepare to catch the eyes of this powerful official.All of a sudden, it was reported that many people with some face were tearing and insulting in public in order to fight for a treasure.The funny and absurd appearance really makes people laugh out loud.

The author has something to say: I'm still sick, so I'll post a chapter today.It will be completed at dawn (I dare not say tomorrow).

This week has been really exciting. I have had a cold for half a month and then I started to cough.The most depressing thing is that I was directly sprayed by the strange flower at work.I think it's all my fault that the performance is not doing well.Then, recently, because of a lot of pressure, my health is not good, and the most important thing is that my tear point is low, I cried in embarrassment on the spot, damn it, and was seen by the leader.I felt like my life was going dark.

My personality is relatively soft, and because I am a newcomer, I really dare not fight her.I can only bear it silently.Afterwards, colleagues gave me candy, and I was cured (…).The leader also specially came to comfort me, saying that the colleague who slandered me had a bad relationship with her husband and was not interested in work. If something went wrong, she would do nothing but shirk responsibility. No one wanted to talk to her anymore, and then I became more healed(…)

Then, when I went out this afternoon and had dinner, I knelt down again, wanting to vomit.

This Nima has twists and turns, ups and downs.Well, I really have no place to complain, but I still feel angry and it's hard to hold back.Please don't mind, sorry...
