Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

If the moonlight is transformed by the deep affection of the women, then one or two reasons why the jade plate on the head has not dissipated for thousands of years can be learned from it.The women whispered their prayers to Yue'er every night, only Kaguya Ji who lived in the Moon Palace could hear it most clearly.

The petite girl was wearing a light scarlet gown and a mountain-colored twelfth single, standing quietly under the wisteria.That quiet and speechless gesture can only be sculpted by the word affectionate.

She called softly, and the white mist out of her mouth covered her voice, but everyone knew that the person she called was the East Palace in front of her.Her eyes were so clear that there was no one else in her eyes.

Hotaru stood not far from them, silently watching what Suzaku was talking to that woman.

After seeing the woman waiting here, Suzaku didn't speak for a while.Then, he patted Yingying's hand lightly and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Yingying didn't stop her, watching Suzaku walk towards the girl.

The woman was talking under the Hedong Palace, her face was as dewy as a begonia, and she was extremely beautiful.Speaking of the latter, she seemed to be excited, and she took a step forward to approach the East Palace, her eyes were full of affectionate resentment.However, Dong Gongxia's expression was always peaceful. When the woman approached, he took a step back politely and said something else.

It was this sentence that completely shattered that woman's expectations.Her eyes were wide open, and tears kept rolling down her face.As if she couldn't believe it, she confirmed it one last time.Dong Gongxia looked gentle, but his words were extremely firm.

The woman lowered her head sadly, unable to bear the grief any longer, turned around and ran away quickly.The brightly colored clothes streaked across the night, and were quickly hidden by the darkness, just like her broken love.

Suzaku watched her go away, heaved a sigh of relief, and then walked back to Yingying's side.

"who is it?"

Suzaku actually didn't want Yingying to know what was going on.But His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is a very smart and serious person. If His Majesty Donggong didn't say it, he would investigate it himself.Suzaku also promised Yingying that if there was anything, she would tell him clearly.

"It's the one at the Qiqiao Festival Banquet..." Before Suzaku finished speaking, Yingying interrupted, "Is that the lady named Suzaku Duishi?"

Suzaku sighed, "Didn't Yingying already guess it?"

"The facts still need to be verified by someone, and you can't wrong someone for no reason." Ying raised her head and explained in a serious tone.

"Injustice?"

"My mother said that being hated and resented by others is also a punishment. People who bear the grievances of others cannot go to bliss. Therefore, you must investigate the facts before hating and resenting others."

"Hate it? Resentment?" Suzaku was taken aback, "Yingying, are you referring to that young lady just now?"

Yingying didn't speak, but bit her lower lip, a little angry and acquiesced.Suzaku sighed, held his younger brother's hand, squatted down, and looked at Prince Ying's level, "What did that person do wrong that Ying can't stand it?"

In fact, the lady did nothing wrong.She just expressed her heart honestly and wanted to get a response.It's just that her feelings were rejected, and the girl was the one who hurt the most in this matter.

Yingying naturally understood, but it was this intention that made him unacceptable.While waiting for Suzaku to come back just now, His Royal Highness realized that the most uncontrollable thing in this world is other people's feelings.With the excellence of Donggong, even if he himself has no intention, more people will focus on Donggong in the future.

Suzaku, he will meet different people in the future, and the changes in his mood at that time are naturally beyond the control of Firefly.Just as Hotaru worried, gradually, she will no longer be the only one in Suzaku's sight.And Firefly, there is no way to prevent this from happening.

At least, he can't right now.Therefore, this sense of powerlessness can only be transferred into a negative emotion.

"...It can't be said that I hate and hate it." Suzaku's eyes were upright and peaceful, and Yingying no longer got angry, and said the truth in her heart, "It's just... that I don't like it."

"Don't you like that girl?"

"No, I don't know her well."

"What is it that you don't like?"

In fact, Suzaku understood Yingying, but he wanted him to say it himself.

At this time, Suzaku had sent Yingying to Chengxiang Hall, and the female officials in the hall had already prepared lanterns to welcome the return of His Highness the Prince.However, Donggong and the prince were still outside the courtyard, looking at each other quietly.

Prince Ying turned his head, he already knew where the restless mood came from.He somewhat regretted saying those serious words, but he didn't want Suzaku to skip over his emotions just like that, and wanted Suzaku to understand and care about his unhappiness.

Seeing that Yingying didn't speak, Suzaku sighed helplessly. He took His Royal Highness's hand and said to Yingying with the same serious tone: "Listen, Yingying. Her Royal Highness is right, so others did nothing wrong. You can’t resent it because of your own personal anger.”

"...I know." Ying answered in a low voice, he already knew he was wrong, but...

"So, does Suzaku like her?"

"what?"

"That female son, does Suzaku like him?"

After going around and around, this question finally got to the part that Firefly cared about the most.

"No, I don't like that young lady." Suzaku shook her head, telling the truth.He has always been a gentle and kind person, so even if he doesn't like it, he is unwilling to say serious words and hurt others' hearts, "Although, even if I avoid doing it. But that girl still makes me feel very guilty."

"However, Suzaku did nothing wrong. Rather than giving extravagant hopes of no future, it is better to clarify the facts. Deceit is the most unforgivable thing."

"Where did Firefly get those words?" Suzaku was startled again.

"Mother told me."

"So that's how it is...His Royal Highness, you are really a sharp-tongued person."

Rather than saying that her words are sharp, she is actually more informal.Suzaku sighed unnaturally.Is it really okay to say such powerful words with my child who is not yet an adult?

Seeing Hotaru's relaxed face, Suzaku reached out and pinched it.

Although His Royal Highness is already very sensible.However, he was still a child.Whether it is judgment or the standard of action, it is only based on one's own likes and dislikes.Although learning to control emotions with facts, it will somewhat curb the child's nature and freedom.It would be too cruel to let him know this now.However, in the status of a prince, there is nothing he can do.

"Firefly, there are many things in this world that you can't just accept if you like it, and you don't have to accept it if you don't like it. Therefore, Yingying must learn to be patient."

"why?"

Suzaku smiled bitterly, knowing that he would ask such a question.

"Where did Suzaku come to this conclusion?"

Probably because of the persecution of her mother since she was a child, the suffering she has seen in the palace, and the inescapable responsibility of being the East Palace—more than His Highness Prince Ying, probably in the eight years of her life.

"This is just the fact that Brother Huang told you in advance. Yingying will naturally know the reason in the future." Suzaku didn't explain much in the end, but just said this.As soon as the words just uttered, Donggong regretted it.Let Ying be more self-willed and do whatever she wants, which is what Suzaku expects, "So, it doesn't matter if you don't remember now."

"Okay," Yingying muttered, then suddenly raised her voice, and said, "Then just turn the things you don't like into something you can control."

"Eh?"

What His Royal Highness said today has repeatedly surprised the East Palace.

He was stunned, and replied: "However, the established facts cannot be changed..."

"That refers to what has already happened, and the future cannot be controlled. Find the factors that are beneficial to you, and take the changes into your own hands!"

Dong Gong couldn't help but smile, "This is also taught by His Royal Highness?"

"No, I thought of it from Suzaku's words."

"Brother Huang," Suzaku resignedly emphasized his status, then murmured in a low voice, "Why do you feel like you have taught me a lesson?"

"In short, I will not allow things that I cannot accept to happen. No matter what, I will not let obstacles take away what I cherish."

Why did you bring it up here?

"There is no way for Hotaru, who is really serious..."

With such firm eyes, she didn't want him to be hurt at all.Suzaku stroked Yingying's bun, and finally landed on the prince's shoulder, patted, "Okay, I understand. Hurry back, don't keep Your Royal Highness waiting too long."

Firefly could sense Suzaku's powerlessness, although she didn't understand it very well, but His Royal Highness had no intention of giving in to this feeling of powerlessness.Therefore, although Suzaku only received an ambiguous reply, Yingying, who expressed her inner thoughts, was not very disappointed.

"Then, I'll go back first, Suzaku also needs to rest early."

"Okay, let's go back."

Donggong hugged His Royal Highness the prince, watched him walk into the hall, surrounded by people, and then took his attendants to the Royal Flower Hall.

The moonlight that witnessed the conversation between the two princes was still bright.Kaguya Hime's eyes followed Suzaku gently, hovering over the covered bridge of the Imperial Palace.

Halfway down the East Palace, he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Honghui Palace.

One who bears the resentment of others cannot attain bliss.

What about people who hate others?

Can a person who cannot develop a tolerant heart like the Buddha be able to go to bliss?

Human emotions are really more elusive and eternal than the starry sky.

The author has something to say: an unknown rival in love was eliminated by His Royal Highness Ying's automatic defense system.Anyway, Hotaru won't let Suzaku go. XD
