Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Chapter 72 Practice

After confessing her feelings to Suzaku, Ying wished she could stay with him every day and never leave him.Even if they just sit next to Suzaku and the two of them keep silent, that's fine.

This person who is in a relationship always has so many sweet words that can't be finished.It seems that everything can be talked about in the future, involving love.The kind of tiresome love words come from Yingshi when she opens her mouth, without repeating every sentence.However, his tone was sincere, and his eyes were determined without any frivolity.Hearing Suzaku's heartbeat, she wanted to cover her ears or gag Yingying's mouth for many times.

However, even though Yingying always wanted to be by Suzaku's side, her hands and feet were extremely disciplined.The reason is that on the night of the Sunflower Festival, Yingying stayed in the Qingliang Hall.The two slept separately, but Shuai Gong still didn't sleep well.

How can I sleep peacefully when I think that the person I admire is not far away?When he woke up the next day, the blue color under His Highness Ying's eyes was very obvious, but even Suzaku was startled.

It was one afternoon, Lord Noyama Xinghei, who had not been in the palace for a long time, came to ask to see the commander-in-chief.He brought some news from Dazaifu to the handsome palace, as well as the recent developments of several ministers.

"Recently, Mr. Genji's relationship with Minister Zuo's family has become closer again. Mrs. Xiankui passed away, and the relationship between the Weng and his son-in-law is not as good as before. In the past few days, General Genji has been visiting every day, and it is said that he brought Many rare gifts. Minister Zuo's response is not indifferent."

"It's not surprising. Brother Guanghuang has been very diligent in entering the palace recently."

"Uh... to see His Majesty Zhonggong?" Master Xingping asked excitedly.

The handsome palace glared at him, and then said slowly: "No, I'm going to see Donggong."

"Ha, this guardian has become diligent recently. I thought he was only interested in looking for flowers and asking willows and not about world affairs." Mr. Xingping's tone was a little sour, because a girl he liked recently rejected him.The reason is that the person she admires is Mr. Genji, which makes Xingping have a bad tone when he mentions General Genji.

"People always have a time to make progress, not to mention that my brother, the emperor, is talented and learned from others. It would be a pity if I didn't make a good use of it."

The reason why Genji was so enthusiastic about teaching Donggong suddenly, he put down his dignity and went to reconnect with Minister Zuo.Combining the information Suzaku disclosed to her before, Yingying can also guess the reason for five or six points.Even if it's for convenience in the future, Yingying thinks it's better not to let Donggong and Genji get too close.However, this matter is slightly more difficult to do, so it is better not to act rashly.

After thinking about it for a while, it is the best choice to wait and see.Ying put the matter aside and asked Mr. Ye Shan, "Is there anything else?"

"There's nothing else," Ye Shan shook his head, "It's just that a few ministers came to my side recently, trying to please you."

"Do you still need to tell me about this?" Yingying looked at him with a half-smile.

Xingping smiled, "Of course I have already helped His Highness take care of it, but the things they sent..."

"You take it."

"Thank you, Your Highness! You are a good person, Your Highness!"

Shuai Gong's straightforward decision made Xingping call him lucky, and praised him countless times.His Royal Highness Ying only felt a fly buzzing in his ear, and he kicked it unceremoniously, making this nagging Master Yeshan go back and forth.

Master Ye Shan narrowly escaped the kick, smiled and made a farewell ceremony, and ran outside.

Hotaru rubbed her forehead, thinking that it was necessary to transfer Ye Shan's father back to Beijing from Kyushu, so that he could teach Xingping, an unreliable person.Just thinking like this, he saw Xingping holding his hat and going back.

"Why haven't you left yet!"

"Isn't there something to finish?" Xingping smiled flatteringly.Fortunately, he remembered this matter halfway, if he didn't do it well, he would be beaten to death by Bo Sheng.

"Well, Yuren...he will leave Yujing to go back to his hometown the day after tomorrow. Bosheng wants to hold a banquet in the mansion to see him off tomorrow, and asks His Highness if you want to go."

"Yu Ren is leaving?" Yingying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he had indeed said that he would go back to his hometown with his father after the Sunflower Festival.

"That's right. Originally, Yu Ren said that Your Highness, you have a lot of time to do and don't want to disturb you. But Bai Sheng wanted to invite you here, so he had to send me to run errands. Alas, it's hard work."

"……what time tomorrow?"

"Well, I think it was nighttime..."

"You tell Bosheng, I will go."

"Hey, then I'll go back first."

"Hurry up and go."

After Mr. Xingping left, His Royal Highness Ying sat quietly for a while, then got up to look for His Majesty.

Suzaku was dealing with government affairs in the palace, saw Yingying walking in slowly, and greeted, "Here you are-" He pointed to his side and motioned for the commander-in-chief to sit down.

Now was the time when Suzaku was concentrating, Yingdang would not interrupt his train of thought hastily.He just took out half of the memorials naturally and helped them deal with them together.If other people saw this, they would probably faint from such a rebellious act.However, Suzaku gave Ying the greatest trust, not only did not blame and doubt, but got used to it.

The two cooperated tacitly and moved quickly.The original weight of the government affairs was quickly resolved.Suzaku stretched her waist, propped her head on her hands and said to Yingying, "Thanks to you, I helped a lot."

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard." Yingying felt a little distressed.

Suzaku pursed her lips and shook her head, "Today's work is over today, I don't like procrastinating."

There is an episode here, when Tonghuyuan was still in power, the atmosphere in the palace was relaxed and everyone's movements were slow.As a result, when Suzaku ascended the throne, not to mention vigorous and resolute, but also the least pleasing to procrastinate.The ministers who were accustomed to idleness were forced to speed up their actions at this time, and they really complained.For a while, they were summoned by His Majesty to report a few trivial matters in their opinion, which were vaguely reported.His Majesty frowned, the cold light in his eyes made one's heart tremble, and he almost collapsed in the hall.

His Majesty Shuai Palace was present at those times.Seeing Suzaku's serious look, he felt an itch in his heart.He felt that even such an inviolable Suzaku would make him unable to love him.It's just that Suzaku at that time didn't notice Yingying's small thoughts. Seeing that he was serious, he thought he was fighting against him.

And it is such a powerful young master who will show a shyness in front of himself that others cannot see.When he was in a hurry, he would unconsciously bite his lower lip with his canine teeth, and frown slightly.Such a picture is not an exaggeration for Firefly to describe it with thousands of styles.Every time I see it, I feel that I can’t see it enough, and I even want to touch it——

"Why are you looking at me like this again?" Suzaku's expression was slightly dissatisfied and arrogant.He snorted coolly, "Don't say anything like that because you are good-looking, I don't believe it."

Yeah, it blocked it.Ying yelled cute in her heart, felt her throat was itchy, and really wanted to hold her in her arms.He coughed while suppressing a smile, "This is the truth, how can you not believe it?"

After being harassed for many days, Suzaku, who had temporarily learned how to deal with it, snorted again, expressing that she didn't want to hear his nonsense.His Royal Highness Ying took the opportunity to sit closer, and Suzaku gave Suzaku a cold look, as if to say: What do you want to do again.

"I'm going back home tomorrow."

"Oh, something?"

Ying felt that Suzaku's tone was too cheerful, which made him not very happy.

"Do you still remember that Mr. Jiu Yuren?"

"Ah, I have an impression. I remember his father's knowledge is very admirable." Suzaku remembered it after being said in this way. "I still wanted to call him into office, but unfortunately he was rejected. What a pity..."

"Enen, it's a pity," Yingying echoed insincerely, "He will return to his hometown with his father the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow I will go back to the mansion for a banquet, in order to see them off."

"Well, that's what it should be, and it's true that I should go and give it away." Suzaku nodded, thinking that he should also show something, after all, he once appreciated the talents of the father and son so much.

So he asked someone to take out a very precious and suitable inkstone from the cabinet, and ordered someone to find a good box to put it away, and handed it to the handsome palace servant.

"When you give this gift to Mr. Jiu tomorrow, you don't need to mention that I gave it to you. It's a farewell gift."

"Oh—" Yingmu replied, and put the box away.Seeing that Suzaku had lowered his head to read the book again, he couldn't help asking a bit unwillingly: "Well, you don't have anything else to say?"

"Ah?" Suzaku looked puzzled, "What do you want to say?"

"That's right... I'm going to practice it for others tomorrow!"

"Oh..." Suzaku looked at Yingying's expectant face, and hesitantly said, "Well...be careful on the road?"

His Royal Highness Ying flung his sleeves and walked away depressedly, hating himself for being too reserved for the first time in his life.Suzaku sat on the spot more and more perplexed, expressing that it is becoming more and more difficult to guess the minds of children nowadays.

At night on the second day, Ying took a car back to Sanjoyuan.He first visited several elders and met the knowledgeable Mr. Jiu.Although Suzaku told him not to speak out, Shuai Gong would not let go of any chance to attract talents for Suzaku and show favor.So it was natural to tell the origin of the gift, "This is what His Majesty entrusted me to deliver to you."

That Mr. Jiu was already very excited when he saw this handsome palace majesty who was unique in a million. Hearing that His Majesty specially rewarded him with a gift, he subconsciously wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Yingying.

"When His Majesty handed this inkstone to me, he specifically told me not to tell the history, just because he was afraid that the master would not accept it." Ying stopped the doctor's movement, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I am the last person who can tell lies. If I take this back, His Majesty will know that I slipped the tongue, and he will blame me at that time. Therefore, I beg you to accept it, and don’t disappoint Your Majesty’s wishes. Just think it’s for my sake. .”

What he said was impeccable. Mr. Jiu was already grateful for the kindness of these two people, and now he was even more moved and accepted the gift. "Your Highness once saved a child's life. Now, how can He De be so loved by His Majesty? It's really embarrassing."

"Mr. is a talented person. It is justified to be rewarded this way. There is no need to do so." Ying did not mention the fact that she had saved a famous person, but said: "If Mr. returns from his studies one day, please come back again." Please give me a lesson for Your Majesty."

The words were very sincere, and Mr. Jiu was so grateful that he agreed repeatedly.The lord of the Neifu was watching the matter from the sidelines, and when he saw such a scene, he stood up and gave a word of comfort.He also said that the banquet would start in a while, and asked Ying to stay with a group of juniors, so as not to be turned off by a few old people here.

Ying smiled and bid farewell to the two elders, and was led to another room after politely saying goodbye.The sliding door hadn't opened yet, and there was a commotion inside.Among them, Bosheng and Xingping have the loudest voices.

The maid bent down and opened the door for His Highness, and the people inside burst into cheers when they saw him.Seeing that Shuai Gong really appeared here, Yuren was so surprised that he froze.Bo Sheng next to him tugged at the hem of his clothes and said triumphantly: "Look, I told you that His Royal Highness will definitely come!"

Mr. Yuren was in a daze for a while, until Shuaigong walked in and sat aside.Only then did he suppress the excitement in his heart, resist the heat in his eyes and say to Bo Sheng: "Well, really, thank you."

May you go to Tianya Road here, a journey to Chaoge and a journey to wine.

These good friends gathered together, although it was a time of sad parting, but from the bottom of their hearts, they wished that Mr. Yu Ren would be safe and happy in the future, and stay away from the troubles of the world.They came over in turn to honor the honored wine with wine cups, and said words of sincere wishes, which diluted the sorrow of parting and made them more proud.

Mr. Yuren didn't drink much at first, and he didn't dare to drink too much when he had to go on his way tomorrow, but everyone still paid back.The room was warm enough, and I was sweating, but the drunken haze receded.When a person becomes sober and excited, he becomes bold.

Taking advantage of everyone's arguing and no one paying attention to him, Yu Ren quietly took the wine glass and came to Shuai Gongxia's side.Holding the wine cup, he smiled shyly and said to His Highness, "Your Highness, please allow me to toast you."

Shuai Gong raised the wine cup, paused for a while, then raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.Yu Ren was very happy, he drank the contents of the glass with a sullen head, and boldly said: "Thank you for coming today."

"Acquaintance, it should be." Shuai Gongxia said very openly and frankly, "Actually, I came today to thank you."

"Your Highness, did you get something?"

"Although it is not perfect, it is much better than the previous depression."

"That's really congratulations, Your Highness. May your wishes come true as soon as possible."

Ying smiled and poured another glass for the two of them, "Thank you."

Yu Ren drank what was in his cup and exhaled, "Then, Your Highness, I'll go there first."

"Ah."

Let's stop here.Yuren thought so when he turned around.That beautiful dream went away like the stars and the moon with the music on the day of the sunflower festival, and I was lucky to just hide in the crowd and take a look.It's like the first day they met, you left in amazement, leaving me obsessed, and I always wake up in the end.

When Yu Ren returned to his seat, his emotions had been adjusted, as if he had lifted a heavy burden from his heart.Bo Sheng next to him tugged on his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to your highness?"

"It's just a toast to him, thank you for coming today."

"only these?!"

"Of course, what else can I say?"

Bo Sheng stared at his friend for a while, then looked away and muttered "Okay", with an imperceptible disappointment hidden in his tone.However, he quickly pulled himself together and dragged Yuren to the lively place.

Because Yuren had to get up early the next day to go on his way, it was really not advisable to stay too late.In the end, the commander-in-chief of the palace stopped the group of young masters and asked someone to arrange an ox cart to send them home one by one.But Bai Sheng and Yu Ren were already drunk, and Mr. Xing Ping was still yelling nonsense while holding a jug.He called the maids to take them all back to their respective rooms, and asked the lord of the inner palace what was going on there, and got a reply that they had left long ago.The handsome palace left the banquet hall in peace.

It was quite late at this time, and there was no need to go back to the palace when it was approaching midnight, so he rested here for the night.When passing by the courtyard of Chengxiang Hall, Ying deliberately asked the maid on duty if her mother had rested.It just so happened that someone from inside came to send a message, saying that His Royal Highness has not rested yet, please come in and talk for a while.

The maids were busy putting down the curtains, but they were stopped by Chengxiang Palace, "Why do mothers and children meet like this? It's just a few words."

"It's so late, mother should go to bed earlier."

"I can't sleep, I'm bored..." Nuyu complained, still full of energy, "How are you?"

Cheng Xiangdian asked this question without thinking, but Shuai Gong naturally understood what his mother meant.He smiled, "I have expressed my intention, although I have not received a clear answer, but I will always be by that person's side."

"That's not bad," Nu Yu shouted in surprise, "As long as you don't separate, everything will be fine."

"My son is waiting for the moment when everything will come true," Yingying nodded lightly, saying very confidently.

Cheng Xiangdian satisfied his curiosity, and after chatting with his son for a few more words, Ying left.The unconcealable joy and pride on her face made the waiters next to her very puzzled.

"Which person is worthy of His Highness's waiting?" Jiao Shibu asked His Royal Highness with a puzzled face.In her opinion, no one would be willing to reject this excellent prince.

Nu Yu concealed the truth and didn't say anything, but said with a smile: "He is a very outstanding person, beautiful and elegant, and a person worthy of admiration."

It is really rare to get such a high evaluation from Chengxiang Palace.Jiao Shibu was a little surprised, "There is such a person? Could it be a certain princess of the royal family... If such a noble person is really such a noble person, it is not impossible for him to look above the top. Your Highness, please don't be sad because of it."

"Yeah, who knows... maybe such a person has already fallen in love with Yingying, but he can't say it."
