Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

On a certain day when the sky was already bright, Master Genji woke up from his sleep.He opened his eyes bewilderedly, and it took him a while to realize that he was in the palace now.Someone next to him made a noise, he turned his head and saw the waiter who was flirting with him last night.

This waiter is already quite old, but he is still pretentious, pretending to be flirtatious and hooking up with some young princes.He originally played with her, but later he didn't want to talk to her.And last night, I don't know whether it was because I drank too much or was in a bad mood, but I gave in half-heartedly.

The sky was bright, and the real face hidden under the heavy makeup and powder last night was exposed, the wrinkled and sagging skin, and the dark bags under the eyes made Genji feel sick in his heart.He comforted himself in his heart, maybe the old woman also has her benefits.Then he put the hand on his waist in disgust, threw it aside impatiently, sat up and quickly put on his clothes.

Being moved like this, the waiter also woke up.She sighed softly, and looked at Mr. Genji with innocent and pitiful eyes.Seeing him quickly put on his clothes, he said: "Young master is really heartless, why don't you stay for a while?"

Genji didn't even show his expression, and quickly replied: "There is a festival today, so we need to prepare early."

"Yes, today is the sunflower festival. Unfortunately, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so I can't go to watch it." The waiter pityed himself in the mirror, hugging the quilt with a look of longing, "Thinking about the peerless elegance of the Palace of Red Leaves, if you can get it in this life Just looking at it, I really have no regrets.”

I don't know what picture this woman thought of, and she laughed foolishly.

His Majesty the Shuai Palace will serve as the imperial emissary for Sunflower Sacrifice today, proclaiming the decree on behalf of the Lord.Think of his gorgeous eyebrows, solemn body; golden waist imperial envoy, unique.Living up to the prosperity of the imperial capital, it has a unique sense of majesty.It is admirable and does not dare to desecrate at will.

This kind of glory is even more exciting because after the new emperor ascended the throne, the prosperity of the people of Guotai Minan became even more exciting.When he appeared in front of the crowd, the strong cheers erupted from the crowd were so loud that they shook Yujing.

Mr. Genji had been surrounded like this before.He didn't even need to think about it, the lively scene would automatically appear in front of his eyes.

Comparing it with today last year, it seems that I am not as good as before.When the emissary selected the candidate, although he had already prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed.These days, I also frequently drink to relieve my sorrow.Last night, he was an imperial guard in the palace, and he didn't hold back drinking and messing around with a bunch of children, so he got together with this old Dian servant.

"If you want to go, there will naturally be a lover to take you there." Genji really didn't have the patience to stay with this woman any longer, so he casually said something.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, and joked with some malice: "However, with your ability, can't you still not take down my emperor brother?"

This waiter has been with so many men, and he already knows what men are thinking clearly, so how could he not be able to tell that Yuan Shi was making fun of himself for being flirtatious.I think she never suffers when she travels deep in the palace.The last time I had a tryst with Genji, I was still vivid in my memory when the head general found out that he broke in and made fun of him.At that time, she was so ashamed and angry that she could only pretend to be sick and hide for a while.

Now how could she be verbally younger than her by the same person, and her face was slapped by the same person, so she pretended to be distressed and said: "Your handsome palace is upright, and your demeanor has always been calm and not frivolous, how could you just take the bait casually?" .”

Genji choked on these words, and no matter how happy the waiter was smiling, he hurriedly left a sentence, I'm leaving, and walked out with a breeze under his feet.

What the waiter said is also true, the handsome palace has already become the obsession of the women in the harem.There was a rumor among them that if anyone wanted to associate with the handsome palace, he must have exchanged souls with the Demon King.How many women who threatened to win His Highness all returned bitterly in the end, and over time it became the obsession of the women in the harem.

His Royal Highness Xiangying assists Suzaku to govern Chaogang, and the two brothers complement each other and trust each other, which is more admirable than him who can only indulge in the sensuality of his children.Mr. Genji was walking on the road, he saw that the palace was quiet, they were all busy for the sunflower festival, he seemed like an outsider by himself.He became more and more frustrated, thinking of the tacit understanding between His Majesty and the commander-in-chief, the brotherhood is extremely enviable.

In this way, I thought of the East Palace.He is the guardian of Prince Quan, and Donggong loves him very much.When Prince Quan came to the throne, He Chou would not have such admirable brothers together.What's more, the close relationship between him and Prince Quan is not as simple as brothers.At that time, I will definitely not be the dispensable existence I am now.Thinking of this, Genji felt much better in his heart.

I haven't visited Zhonggong for many days, and I miss him very much.The footsteps that were originally leaving the palace turned around and went to Feixiangshe.

Speaking of starting in the morning, Prince Ying got up early to prepare for the ceremony.He has his own plans for today, and he continues to proceed with various matters in an orderly manner with a belief that he must win.After bathing and changing clothes, after praying and worshiping, he went to the palace to meet Suzaku.

He is dressed differently today, extremely handsome and extraordinary.When he kowtowed and stood up, he looked directly at Suzaku with such concentration that Suzaku could not avoid it.After receiving the order from His Majesty, Yingying smiled at Suzaku and silently mouthed "wait for me".Then, holding the saber at his waist, he walked out of the hall in a very chic stride.

Suzaku felt her heart skip a beat, looking at Ying Ying's back, couldn't help but chased two steps forward.After Prince Ying returned to the palace that day, he asked himself for a reward, and the result would be known after the Sunflower Festival.What will Hotaru say to herself after the ceremony?Suzaku thought a little uneasily, if it was what he thought... Suzaku shook his head, trying to cover up and warned himself not to think wildly.All this is an illusion.

The noisy sounds of sacrifices passed through the palace wall and faintly spread into the palace.All the court servants who had the means begged their father and elder brother to take them out to watch the ceremony.Qingliang Hall was very quiet, Suzaku was bored, stood up and walked out.The remaining attendants outside didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, so they followed from a distance.

His Majesty wandered aimlessly in the palace, and came to the place where Houliang Hall and Feixiang House meet.There used to be many beautiful vines and white sand paved here, and it was a place that the young Suzaku liked to come to—but after the Barnacle Zhonggong became the master of Feixiangshe, he seldom came here.Thinking that he was in a bad mood when he was young, most of which were due to disputes with his mother, so he likes to go here to relax.And Yingying is always the one who finds herself the fastest.

He also held the handsome palace when he was young, paddled the white sand on the ground, and learned to read and write.A small warm body is nestled in his arms, not to mention how reassuring it is.

A little bigger is the school bookstore outside, Gongchangdian.Reading and reading together is just common, but it is a heroic man for two people to learn swordsmanship and archery together.It's just that later, he leaned aside and watched Ying Ying practice martial arts.He likes the way Yingying holds a bow and shoots arrows the most, that kind of calm and sharp demeanor is the most beautiful.

There are also the sound of the flute at the place of listening to the snow, and the cuju in the atrium. There are many traces of two people accompanying each other in this palace.Everywhere I go brings back so many memories.

Suzaku walked to the gate of Chengxiang Hall without knowing it, and the people in the palace greeted him respectfully when they saw him coming.One of them reported: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Shuai Palace once said that if you visit, he will tell you that he will come back after the Sunflower Festival is over. I think there will be no delays."

These words were really touching, and all the palace servants agreed with each other, saying that His Majesty and His Majesty the Handsome Palace care about each other, which is really heartwarming and touching.Hearing these words, Suzaku felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and muttered in a volume that no one could hear, "Who's going to wait for him..."

It's just that in the eyes of others, His Majesty's originally worried brows and eyes stretched out at this moment.The gentle and jade-like young man did not hide his warm smile like the rising sun in April.

Wandering around in the palace, Suzaku wandered around wherever he had memories with Yingying.Finally, I came to the side of Yuchi, which is the other side of Yuchi, which is rarely visited by people.He and Yingying once saw the green pines and white snow in winter, watched the magnificent sunset and clouds here, and drank fine wine here.The aroma of wine in memory is mixed with elegant incense, entangled with the most tender taste.

At this time of spring, the sunshine is so beautiful, and the word "passionate" is very appropriate to describe the shimmering on the imperial pond.Suzaku looked at the scene of lush vegetation in front of him, and there were many tender feelings in his heart.

Here it is, he thought.

He waved away the crowd, and sat alone in front of the lake, counting the memories of his years reflected on the lake.If he returns, find me here.Then listen to how important the requested reward is to him.
