Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Let's say that Prince Ying hurried out of the imperial palace that day, and was extremely troubled by his worries.The scenery in spring is slightly humid, clear and charming, but I don't care to appreciate it.With this depression in his arms, he had nowhere to go, so he walked freely on the imperial street trusting the horse.Not long after, they came to Er Tiao Avenue.

Shuai Gongxia suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Mr. Genji for many days.I heard that Genji has been living in the Nijoin recently, since he is already here, let's go visit him.After stopping the horse, he went up to knock on the door.After some inquiries, Mr. Guang was indeed here.The concierge flew forward to report without stopping, and after a while, Guang greeted him personally.

"Yingying, how come you have the time to come here." Guang was also very surprised to see Prince Ying, and stepped forward to welcome him in.

"Just came out of the palace, just passing by here, so I came to see Brother Huang."

"Yes, come in and sit down."

Before Yingying's visit, Mr. Guang was having fun with others.There is a chessboard on the ground, all kinds of chess pieces are scattered, as if swept by a dress.There are also several very wonderful paintings next to it.There is an elegant and quiet incense smell in the air, which is the top-grade co-incense.The decoration of the room is just like Mr. Guang himself, noble, elegant and interesting.

Yingying glanced over the elegant and interesting things scattered on the ground, and said softly: "I'm bothering the emperor..."

"It's okay." Guang waved his hand indifferently, took the tea set and started cooking tea again, "There are Buddhist ceremonies held in the palace these few days, did you just run out after hearing about it?"

"I've never been interested in this...why hasn't Brother Huang appeared in the past few days?"

"Probably because my humble heart can't stand the test of the Buddha's voice. It's really uncomfortable to sit there."

For the Buddhist event in the palace, Mr. Genji just showed up on the first day and never appeared again.Perhaps because he was afraid of being reminded of some sad memories, he couldn't bear to hear it, so he just stayed in his residence in Nijoyuan to spend his days leisurely.Have some fun with the sweetheart you brought back from the mountains.The two got married not long ago, and it was an extremely sweet time, and they didn't get tired of staying together all day.Moreover, this lovely person is very similar to the person whom Genji misses day and night, and she has the beauty of innocence and innocence, and she is very compatible with the light.

Before Shuai Gongxia arrived, the two were playing chess and painting here for fun.Hearing that His Highness was coming to visit, this lovely girl hurriedly dodged to the back like a frightened bird.The beautiful dress on her body is like the long wings of a bird, sweeping away the chess pieces on the ground, leaving a glimpse in the air.

At this time, she was hiding behind, quietly looking at her husband and the handsome palace——

The young lady named Ruozi asked the maids beside her softly, "Who is this young master..."

"He is His Majesty Shuai, the younger brother of His Majesty and Young Master." Mrs. Zi's wet nurse, Shao Nayan, answered her this way.

"That's what Guang Yi said, is that handsome palace magistrate who is excellent in calligraphy, painting, and piano?" Mrs. Zi boldly poked her head out again, trying to see clearly, "He doesn't look like Guang at all. , but it's also pretty."

"It's... it's not proper to stay here, you'd better go into the inner room."

"No, I want to wait here for the light. He said he would play chess with me."

The little movement from behind did not escape the ears of His Majesty Shuai Palace.He tilted his head behind him, and the back immediately fell silent.

"It's not the right time to disturb the interest of the emperor."

"It's okay, we shouldn't meet in such a mess." Mr. Genji seemed worried and embarrassed, "It's just that the child is too young and innocent, and doesn't know etiquette, so I'm afraid it will make people uncomfortable."

The deep reason is naturally not like this, Mr. Genji has his own concerns, and he doesn't want Mrs. Zi to be exposed in front of others.As for His Royal Highness Ying, he doesn't have the rude habit of peeping at the appearance of other women's family members, so he doesn't care about it.

The two haven't seen each other for some time, and it's interesting to talk about things that have nothing to do with each other's identities.Mr. Genji was making incense recently. He knew that Prince Ying was a master, so he asked many questions.The prince also answered a lot in detail without missing a single point, and also said a lot of his own unique insights.

"These words really opened my eyes. Those things that I thought were inappropriate before have all been resolved."

"I haven't made incense for quite a while, and I'm unfamiliar with many places. However, I have a very precious collection of incense and incense at home. If the emperor needs it, I can send someone to send it."

"If this is the case, it would be great! You don't need to bother to send it. I will send someone to pick it up from your house for such a good thing. I will make a copy and send it back to you intact."

"That's fine, I'll go back and look for it."

These two very good-looking and delicate people sit together and talk about elegant things, it's like a famous painting.Especially on a sunny day, the scenery is like new, which makes these two people more and more beautiful.Hearing that the Fourth Prince, who was comparable to Genji, was visiting, everyone in the Erjo Courtyard ran over and hid in one place to peek.They sighed at each other, it really is well-deserved reputation, famous is not as good as meeting.

Even the butterflies who are lingering in the flowers are attracted by this beautiful scenery, flying up and down and gathering.Or maybe it was because he was worried about his lowliness and disturbing the two excellent young masters, so he was only willing to hover and dance on the flowers in the garden, and refused to leave.

Butterflies are in pairs, chasing and frolicking, revealing a touch of affection.The eyes of Shuai Gongxia were attracted by this scene, following their figures, there was a little sadness in his brows.

"Yingying, it seems that you have something on your mind?" Mr. Guang is a few years older than Shuai Gongxia, and has rich experience in these matters. How can he not see that the prince is actually disturbed by love, "Could it be because he is thinking about someone?"

"I..." Now that it has been seen, the prince no longer hides it.This incident has really worried him lately.He thought that his elder brother in front of him had always been invincible in such matters, and he revealed a little under distress, "...It is indeed because I miss one person, but..."

"Ah, you've finally come to your senses. I still treat you as an ignorant child and worry about your elders."

"That's not the case. I've admired that person for a long time, but I'm afraid of being abrupt, so I dare not speak out." "Is that so! Yingying is really a long-term lover..."

Mr. Guang still sighed with emotion, and when he looked sideways, he saw that Yingying's eyes were full of melancholy, as if she was besieged by love.No matter which girl sees it, she will feel distressed and want to comfort him.I don't know which female son is so lucky to be favored by Yingying.

"If you are worried about this, I don't think there is any need..." Genji said.

Ying's ears moved, she looked over sincerely, and asked for advice in a sincere tone: "I also ask Brother Huang to give me some guidance."

"You are so self-sufficient, all worries are useless. That girl doesn't know what you want, how to ask her to respond. If you really have a heart of love, why not confess to her sincerely," Guang knew that the prince was serious, He made a very sincere suggestion.Don't dare to talk nonsense about those crooked ways of stealing incense and jade.

"But……"

"You don't have to feel abrupt. As long as you speak sincerely and show your heart, how can others accuse you of being rude? Besides, Ying is so good, how do you know that daughter has never liked you?"

What Mr. Genji said makes sense.Especially the sentence: If you have not expressed your heart, how do you ask others to respond.The prince thought that since he was already in love, why he was so timid and dared not take the next step.Think of him walking in the world, always open and aboveboard.But in this matter, he backed down again and again.

Prince Ying wants to get close to Suzaku in a legitimate way, instead of using the excuse of innocence and ignorance to covet that little intimacy that was stolen.

It's just that he hesitated so much, but in the end it was because he didn't want Suzaku to dislike him.If that person hates him because of this, he won't even have a chance to get close.Although Prince Ying believed that Suzaku was not such a person, he was still terrified.

"There are many excellent women in this world, but one who has never responded to your feelings, you don't need to be sad. Just find another confidant, and you can always find what you want..." Genji was still talking there, but Yingying His Highness fell into his own thoughts.

There are indeed many good women in the world.

However, there is only one Suzaku.

After Prince Ying left the Erjo Courtyard, Mrs. Zi, who had been hiding behind the door, ran out like a cheerful bird and jumped into the arms of Mr. Genji.The wet nurse behind her only frowned, worried that the master would dislike her because she didn't know how to behave.It's just that Mrs. Zi doesn't understand the worries of the wet nurse, and she talks to her husband very innocently and cutely.

"Is that son just now the handsome palace?"

"Yeah, Ruozi already knows who he is." "I heard it from behind just now." "You..." Genji stroked her long hair helplessly, and warned, "Don't be so reckless in the future, If you are rude and abrupt, you will be ridiculed."

"Well, I won't be like this in the future," Mrs. Zi pouted, turning her nimble eyes and said again: "What happened to him just now, he looks very sad."

"Because I met a girl I liked and didn't know how to confess, I was very worried," Guang said affectionately with his arms around her, "Just like when I met you, I wanted to bring you back very much, but I was afraid of being frightened." your turn."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Zi's pretty face turned red.She sat up from his arms, and said shyly: "But the light still brought me back... Besides, I... also want to live with the light."

"Yes..." Mr. Genji stroked Mrs. Zi's long and beautiful black hair, and said softly, "Fortunately, I brought you back..."

***

Although the meeting with Mr. Genji in Nijoin did not dispel His Royal Highness' doubts, it also pointed out a clear path for him.As for whether to go or not, it depends on Ying Ying's own wishes.

Yingying was indeed a little angry at the little dispute with Suzaku.But when he regained his composure, he also knew that this was actually due to the fear of losing Suzaku, and he shouldn't blame others.However, he has been very hesitant recently.I want to express my heart, but I am afraid that something will go wrong if I am not fully prepared.The most worrying thing is what kind of reason should be used to persuade Suzaku to accept this self, which is really very distressing.

About a few days later, Genji sent someone over to borrow the incense book.After the prince found out, he went to the bookcase to look for it himself.Because he hasn't touched these elegant playthings for a long time, he doesn't remember where he put them.

After looking around for a long time, Yingying finally found it in the corner.He pulled him out casually, but accidentally dropped another book of poems on the ground.Yingying bent down to pick it up, and found that it was an old collection of poems given to him by Chengxiangdian on his birthday that year.

Although the prince has read this collection of poems, he has never finished reading it, and later put it on the cabinet.If my mother knows that I treat her gift like this, I'm afraid she will be angry.His Royal Highness Ying thought about it, and flipped through it casually with a smile.Turning to a page, I saw that the paper here is old and has deep marks.I imagine this page is often read.His Highness took a closer look, and saw the Chinese characters Cheng Ming written at the end of the poem.I think it is the person who created these poems.

I have never known who the owner of this verse is, but I did not expect to know it today.The prince smiled and put the book away carefully.Because those poems have a broad artistic conception and are very admirable to read, he decided to read them carefully in the next few days.It's just that now I want to send that ancient book to Mr. Genji.

In order to thank Mr. Genji for his guidance that day, not only this ancient book on making incense, His Highness Ying also found several other precious incense books.Then someone found some very precious spices, put them into a gift box, and sent them to Erjoin to express their gratitude.

The author has something to say: Bin Zheng, Zhao Ritian, the cat in the glass bottle, Che Xuan, Hua Jianci, Qwer, stepping on carrots

Thank you for your encouragement of mine grenades!mwah!Please continue to leave a message for support!Ask for collection!

Aw, Yingying is about to confess, there are still things that will stimulate him to confess boldly~ Let's go!My mother supports you, hehehe!

In addition, Ruozi's Ruo means young and young in Japanese, and the whole meaning should be young purple.After getting married as an adult, she can no longer be called Ruozi.But for the convenience of calling, we will not make a rigorous name.
