Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Suzaku knew that His Royal Highness Prince Ying had a visitor today.Your Majesty has a high status and is not the son of an ordinary family.Except for Prince Ying, there is no one else who has been able to interact with him on an equal footing since childhood, and talk openly.So Suzaku envied such a friendship very much.

Or maybe it came from the elder brother's concern for the younger brother, he naturally attached great importance to these young masters who came to visit today.Hearing that the young masters had already arrived at Chengxiang Hall, Suzaku also came here after finishing the government affairs in hand.

The prince didn't expect that Suzaku would come here, so he was overjoyed and asked someone to invite him quickly.Bo Sheng and Xing Ping, who were still laughing and joking just now, were also sitting upright, wanting to see His Majesty.

Although Mr. Jiu Yuren had acquaintance with these two noble gentlemen, seeing Tian Yan was something he couldn't even imagine.It was a great fortune to have the opportunity to meet the Fourth Prince, and His Majesty's arrival was no longer a surprise but a shock to him.

He mostly hears about the affairs in the Imperial Palace, and he always hears rumors that although His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief are close and friendly on the surface, they have a lot of quarrels secretly.Young Master Yu Ren had a good impression of His Majesty the handsome palace, and he had a somewhat frightening impression of His Majesty as rumored.He simply believed that for such a generous man under the handsome palace, the ones who would make enemies with him must be some petty, domineering and ignorant people.However, Yu Ren didn't dare to criticize the owner, he only dared to lower his head and carefully observe his surroundings.

After a while, a young man in white came in.His appearance is gentle and delicate, and his temperament is quite elegant.Before Jiuyu could react, he heard the people around him calling His Majesty's voice.He subconsciously saluted with the others, and secretly looked at the young master from the corner of his eye.

His Majesty Suzaku will be 23 years old this year, the most youthful time.As soon as he walked in, he looked at the handsome palace who was welcoming him.The eyes are full of tenderness, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Why are you free to come here?"

"It's not far away, just come and have a look..."

The Fourth Prince exchanged greetings with His Majesty, in an intimate and casual tone, without any suspicion.But in just a few words, it can be seen that Suzaku attaches great importance to His Highness Prince Ying, and his tone is full of protection.

Hearing the rumors, Jiuyu originally thought that this was a man with dark eyes and the arrogance of the upper class nobles.But I didn't expect such a handsome man to walk in, I was really stunned.

"This is Mr. Jiu Yuren?"

The young His Majesty sitting at the top looked down and asked with a smile.Young Master Yuren was still in a daze, but he didn't respond.Bai Sheng, who was sitting on the side, poked his arm secretly, and Yucai woke up suddenly.He hastened to make amends, "Your Majesty, please forgive the grassroots for their rudeness. When they saw Tianyan for the first time, the grassroots were terrified. They did not mean to offend Your Majesty."

"You don't need to be nervous," Suzaku comforted the nervous young man with a gentle voice, "I also heard about the last time Ying rescued you. I came here today just to meet Ying's friend, so you don't have to be so restrained."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Yu Ren was filled with gratitude when he mentioned what happened last time.He knelt in the middle, bowed his head on the ground, and performed very solemn etiquette.I was so nervous that my forehead and hands were sweating non-stop. "If it wasn't for His Royal Highness's help last time, I can't think of it as kind. I haven't thanked Your Highness for saving my life just now, which is Yuren's stupidity. Please also, Commander-in-Chief Palace, please be sure to know the gratitude of Cao Min. If it is useful in the future, you can use Yuren Please give Yu Ren a chance to repay his kindness."

"It's just a little effort, you don't have to be so kind." His Majesty Shuai Gong motioned him to get up, and said that the matter is over, and don't affect the mood of having fun and studying in this imperial capital in the future.

Mr. Bo Sheng noticed that his friend was too nervous, so he made fun of him, "Last time, Xingping and I also saved you. Why didn't you say such words of thanks to us?"

"Yes, hurry up, now I've given you a chance, hurry up and say it!" Ye Shan also stood aside, pretending to force him.

Young Master Yuren's face was flushed red, and he stammered, "I'll go, I told you guys thank you at home last time."

"It doesn't count last time, don't care, say it again now!" Mr. Bai Sheng played a rogue, "Don't worry about Xingping, just tell me."

"What do you mean leave me alone? If you want to say it, you should tell me first, you both have to say it!"

Mr. Bosheng and Mr. Yeshan started arguing about this extremely boring and naive issue.Yu Ren was not as nervous as before.Thinking of the way Prince Ying talked to him gently just now, he felt very happy.The blush on his face hadn't faded yet, he only dared to quietly glance at His Majesty the handsome palace who was talking to His Majesty.

Suzaku watched the three of Bosheng quarreling together indulgently, and liked such a friendly and innocent scene very much.Looking around with a smile, he found that Prince Ying next to him was looking at him with a smile in his eyes.Suzaku was puzzled, and tried to ask what was wrong with his mouth.Shuai Gongxia shook his head slightly, pointed to his temples, and replied very softly: "There are hairs coming out."

Suzaku was taken aback for a moment, then reacted randomly.I thought it was on the way here just now, it was hooked down by a branch on the side of the road, but I didn't notice it.What a gaffe.He sighed secretly, and was about to raise his hand to tidy up.Seeing that Ying raised her hand very naturally, she took the first step to grab the loose strand of hair and gently pinned it behind Suzaku's ear.

His movements are gentle and his eyes are focused.Taking advantage of the situation, he also licked his brother's sideburn hair to make them more docile.But after finishing this action, when the two eyes met again, both Suzaku and Yingying were stunned.

If you say that the most unpredictable thing in this world is the words "can't help it".Had it not been for Suzaku's sudden visit today, Prince Ying would have felt boundless joy in his heart.I just feel that every frown and smile of this person is gentle and affectionate, which is hard to compare with anyone else.A ray of hair is just a small opportunity, but it arouses Prince Ying's longing that has been kept secret for many years.That movement is so natural and smooth, I don't know how many times I have simulated it in my mind.

A cavity of love flows from the bottom of the heart to the fingertips, and the feeling of light touch is so clear, which awakens the hidden feelings that are hidden in many times when the two have no contact.Inadvertently, intentionally—the temperature is so hot.

The embarrassment was about to be concealed, and the eyes of the two separated.Suzaku covered her eyes, only feeling that the feeling of passing by her temples just now was still there, and she was arrogant.Prince Ying rubbed his fingers, feeling lingering in his heart, hoping that the touch would stay for a while longer.

***

As long as there are Yeshan and Baisheng, the lively atmosphere will not disappear.Even watching the two of them talk back and joke with each other, you can laugh all morning.Perhaps Suzaku was about to leave after sitting for a while because government affairs still had to be done and it was not appropriate to stay for long.Before leaving, he specifically told him that if he had a chance next time, he could come back to the palace again.There are many treasured classics in the palace that they are allowed to borrow.

After Bosheng and Yuren heard this, they felt joy from the bottom of their hearts, and they planned to take it if they had the opportunity.Only Lord Yeshan secretly slandered in his heart, not coming!If it's because of this, definitely don't come!

Although Suzaku is a very gentle person, the majesty of the master is still there, and the sense of oppression is very obvious.People who have no rules in fighting and fighting on weekdays have no choice but to restrain themselves at this time.But when His Majesty left, he revealed his lively and mischievous nature.After drinking the good wine hidden in the palace, he lay down lazily on the ground.

Prince Ying has a good capacity for alcohol, and possesses an excellent self-esteem.Mr. Yuren was too drunk to drink too much.Sitting at the side, he seemed to want to talk to Shuai Gong, but he couldn't find a word to talk about, showing a distressed expression.

At this time, Master Ye Shan, holding the wine cup and rubbing his stomach, sniffed, and saw Yu Ren's lowered head and frowning slightly with one side of his head.He exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, from this angle... Yu Ren, you still look a little like Your Majesty."

"Really! Let me see!" Mr. Bo Sheng raised his head, which was buried in his sleeve, and moved forward twice, "Let me see! Hmm...it seems a bit like it."

"Ok?"

The period related to Suzaku always arouses Prince Ying's interest.Hearing what the two said, Yingying couldn't help but look over.Yuren was taken aback by Ye Shan, and hurriedly raised his head.I was seeing the eyes of the handsome palace looking over with incomparable concentration.

Like a frightened rabbit, he hastily lowered his head, tightly closing his eyes and not daring to raise his head.It took about a while before His Royal Highness's voice, which was as cold as a mountain stream, sounded, "Is that so, I don't think it looks like it..."

Yu Ren breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little sad and disappointed.

After leaving Chengxiang Hall, the three of them boarded an ox cart and went back to Santiaoyuan.Because they both drank some wine, Baisheng and Xingping both lay half-lying and closed their eyes to rest their minds.Yuren seemed to have something on his mind along the way, until it was a long time since he left the imperial palace, he pushed Bai Sheng beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Did you never talk about marriage for so many years under the handsome palace?"

"Ah?" Mr. Bo Sheng was at a loss, completely unable to understand why Yu Ren asked such a question suddenly.

"I, I... I'm just a little curious," Yuren stammered and explained, "Isn't Mr. Shikibu Cheng proposing to you recently? His Majesty Shuai is older than you, right? Why didn't you marry a wife?" ?”

Mentioning his own marriage, Mr. Bo Sheng blushed a little.However, he still calmed down and answered his friend's question, "Well, it is said that His Majesty Tonghu originally arranged a marriage for his brother, but there will be no follow-up after that."

"Eh? Why is that?"

"This one……"

"At that time, His Majesty Tonghu abdicated, so there were many variables." Ye Shanzi, who had closed his eyes and rested, suddenly opened his eyes and said to the two, "It's just a trivial matter, so there is no need to inquire about it."

Bo Sheng shrugged his shoulders, and echoed, "Well, I'm not very clear about what's going on here, and I can't say anything."

Yuren was startled by Ye Shan's eyes, and heard Bai Sheng say this again.I wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment, I had no choice but to stop talking.

The author has something to say: Ying: Ah, Brother Liao was discovered
