Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

The small lotus pond building on Ruishan Mountain is always surrounded by clouds and mists, making it ethereal like a fairyland.Hidden away from the place of the world, freed from the shackles of mortal status, everything becomes as one pleases.The small boat between the pink lotus and the green leaves follows the waves, and the ripples slowly rippling are the lingering sentimentality of lovers when their lips and teeth are attached to each other.

However, this seemingly blissful place is not their home yet.There are still too many unresolved ties in the mortal world below, holding their ankles.Although reluctant to part, but still have to say goodbye to the green mountains and rivers here.As You Lin went away, there was a very obvious reluctance in the eyes of the two of them.We can only make an agreement with each other, if there is a chance, we must come here again.Spring flowers and autumn moon, summer wind and winter snow, there is still a lot of time waiting for them to pick and appreciate.

After Suzaku responded, Yingying was full of sweethearts.If he disappeared for a while, he would think very hard.Occasionally, when I see flowers and plants, I can think of how I was with Suzaku, and I can't help but smile sweetly when I think about it.

All the maids in the Palace of Internal Ministers must have fallen in love with some beautiful young lady in Chuanshuai Palace.If not, why does he always have spring in his brows and eyes, a look of deep affection.

Seeing his son like this, Cheng Xiangdian guessed that his wish must have come true.While happy for Shuai Gong, I really can't understand his constant obsession.She simply waved her bare hand and told him to go back to the palace earlier, so she didn't have to make trouble with her.

If young people taste the taste of love one day, they will know the taste of the essence, and they will not be able to let go of it no matter what.As long as the two of them can find a chance to be alone, they must cuddle together like mandarin ducks.Suzaku considers herself not a person who is obsessed with love, but every time she is teased by Yingying, she can't stand it.Almost the whole person drowned in his arms.The fiery breaths of each other are entangled, and between the hesitating and licking, the hot love is burning.

Although it has not reached the time of complete integration, it will be a matter of time if this continues.The strength of Hotaru holding Suzaku made him feel that this person would definitely swallow him whole.

And when Hotaru was getting close, Suzaku was really overwhelmed by the occasional wickedness she showed.

At this time, the two of them were hiding in the dark gap between a door and the door of Chengxiang Hall.Each other's bodies squeezed into a small space, feeling the heat of each other's body.Suzaku leaned against the wall, almost wanting to embed herself in the wall.Firefly put her arms around his waist, leaning slightly, relying on her height to wrap Suzaku in the shadow.The hot breath sprayed on Suzaku's fair and slender neck, with a playful smile on his face.

And not far from them, probably no more than a wall and a corridor, echoed the shouts and footsteps of people looking for people under the East Palace. "Brother Huang, Brother Huang... It's strange, I clearly heard them talking inside."

There was still a half-turned book on the floor of the room, and there was still half of the wine in the wine cup, but the person disappeared.Prince Quan searched for the traces of the two elder brothers, but he couldn't find them. "Brother, where are you?"

Suzaku was extremely nervous at this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.The eyes seemed to be washed with water, showing a look of grievance and accusation.He was just talking with Ying, when he suddenly heard Quan running in.Before he could react, Hotaru had already grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the crack.

He admitted that he had come to Chengxiang Hall so many times, but he never knew that such a place existed.The sound of Quan's trotting footsteps was outside, and the gap was actually not wide, and Suzaku even saw the hem of Quan's clothes when he ran past.As long as he walked a little closer, he would see the two brothers hugging each other in an overly intimate gesture.If he was discovered like this, how would he explain everything in front of this innocent but very smart child?Thinking of this, Suzaku almost couldn't stand up.

Ying Gongxia caught Suzaku in a timely manner, leaned over to his ear and said, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, "Suzaku must stand firm, if Quan finds out, it will not end well."

Could it be my fault? Suzaku heard the sound and gave Ying a hard look.But in this dim place, this stare is full of thousands of amorous feelings, he doesn't know it, but Yingying can't stand such a look.He gasped slightly, clasped Suzaku's wrist tightly, and kissed it very crisply.

Suzaku was terrified and struggled with hands and feet.Before he could move a few times, he was locked firmly.Firefly's deep smile echoed in Suzaku's ears, vicious but full of temptation, "If you struggle more loudly, you will really be discovered..."

Hotaru stroked Suzaku's arm lightly and ambiguously, as if encouraging his movements.The starlight in Wu Chen's pupils has already turned into the fire of a prairie fire.This tough and absolute posture made him excited, like a beast of prey, deciding the life and death of the prey.

Suzaku's body trembled slightly, from worry and fear at the beginning, to the madness hidden in the depths of his heart being stimulated by the tense and slightly stimulating atmosphere at this time.He let himself go softly, allowing the person who kissed him to plunder the city, and responded to him boldly and fieryly.Hearing his longing breath swallowing in the quiet and dark corner, falling into his heart.

The two just hugged each other and kissed passionately, venting their unbearable feelings in the corner of Yousen Imperial Palace.I didn't even notice the sound of Quan running slowly away.

When they exited the corner, the clothes on the two of them were already messy.Suzaku's bun was broken by Yingying again, and her long hair lingered to cover her plump and juicy red lips, as well as her glistening eyes.

Suzaku was very dissatisfied with Hotaru's behavior of messing up her hair when she was getting close, so she couldn't help frowning and staring at her.Although Suzaku looks a little distracted, Yingying still knows how to measure.When she couldn't help herself, she did make some movements that troubled Suzaku. This is where she should pay attention to her appearance, and she couldn't let the owner walk out with her hair disheveled like this.

When the maid was called in, she was also taken aback when she saw His Majesty's unrestrained appearance.They were still neat when they came here, why are they all scattered now?

Suzaku coughed, and said in a low voice, "I didn't comb my hair well this morning, it was messed up just now. Come and help me comb it." The maid bowed down and responded politely, then turned to get the comber Objects come.With a smug smile on Yingying's face, she picked up the half-read book on the floor, turned to face the sky and read it slowly.

Until the maid came in with a bronze mirror makeup box, Yingying said to Suzaku jokingly: "Would you like me to comb it for you?"

Suzaku looked over, and the word "rejection" was clearly written in his eyes.The two looked at each other very seriously for a while, before Yingying regretfully dismissed the idea of ​​binding Suzaku's hair.

When the hot afternoon sun was covered by clouds, when it was not so hot, Yinggong ordered the people in the palace to go to the imperial pond to pick many lotus flowers for vase decoration.He sorted out a bunch himself, matched it with very elegant celadon, and sent it to Qingliang Hall.

Suzaku received such a bouquet of flowers, along with the souvenirs they brought with them, writing a letter was better than a few words.He smiled and ordered the celadon vase to be placed in a conspicuous place.He lowered his head and wrote a few strokes on the paper, then raised his head and asked, "Where is Shuai Gong now?"

"I was listening to the snow place when I came here." The palace attendant beside him replied in a low voice.

"He's the most afraid of heat, why is he running outside now?" Suzaku put down the memorial that he didn't want to read anymore, and stood up, "Let's go and have a look."

Suzaku led the people in and came to the Pavilion of Listening to the Snow and Enjoying the Scenery in the Imperial Court.There is an ice basin next to it, and a maid is sitting on the side playing a fan.I saw that the bamboo curtains all around had been lowered to shade the sun, and the side facing the imperial pond was rolled up.Shuai Gong is writing a painting, and what is on the table is the unfinished one that the two of them collaborated on last time.

"Although they are all Xia Lian, I don't know why I feel that they are not as good as what I saw back then." Shuai Gong put down the pen and sighed after making up a few more strokes, "Looking at it this way, I actually ruined the pen and ink that day. "

Suzaku went up to admire it carefully, and expressed his own opinion, "If you draw the spirit in the painting, where are the lotus flowers not the same? I think that after the drawing here, it has been perfected a lot."

"That's because you came over..."

Suzaku didn't understand, but Yingying raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, picked up a pen and drew a few random strokes on the lotus, depicting a simple and freehand human figure.Her temperament was exactly the same as Suzaku's, as if a pool full of lotus flowers had turned into elves.At this time, he was standing in front of Yingying, with the beautiful scenery of a pool as his backdrop, so the painting should be the same.

"Suzaku can always be painted."

He was at a loss by Shuai Gong's candid and candid words, but fortunately he was steady so he didn't lose his composure.Suzaku wanted to say something subconsciously, but didn't know what to say to the smiling face of Shangshuai Gong.He was stunned for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, and looked down at the paintings on the table, not letting himself pay attention to this person who always makes people wonder what to do.

"Brother Emperor!"

There was an angry voice at the door.I saw Donggong with his hips akimbo, pouted angrily at the two elder brothers.He ran in quickly with his legs, and first paid respects to his majesty towards Suzaku in a formal manner.Then he yelled at the two brothers accusingly: "Where did you go in the morning! I clearly heard your voices, but when I entered the door, I couldn't see anyone! Tell me, where did you hide! "

"Oh, under the East Palace..." Shuai Gong smiled like a cunning beast.He picked up the Fifth Prince, who was at his feet, and put it on the table beside him.The stable palace attendant had carefully put away the pen, ink and paintings on the table.

"We've been in the room all the time." Ignoring Suzaku's embarrassing expression, His Highness Yingying was very frank in both tone and expression, "It's just that you didn't see it."

"Impossible, I have been looking for it for a long time!"

"Oh, that's why you're too short."

"..."

Suzaku couldn't hold back for a moment, and burst out laughing.Donggong looked at him very aggrieved, with a pitiful expression.Probably because he felt that he still had a conscience, so he couldn't bully his younger brother so blatantly.Suzaku calmed down, and said very gently: "We... are indeed in the room all the time."

Shuai Gong nodded in agreement beside him, as if I was not lying, Suzaku ruthlessly strangled the soft flesh in his waist.His expression changed after being pinched, and he tried his best not to let himself cry out.

"Then you have been here all the time, why can't you hear my voice calling you?"

"Uh, maybe it was in the yard at that time," Suzaku randomly found an excuse, seeing that he couldn't make it up.Ying Ying followed up coolly, "It's because you are too short to see."

Dong Gong's small face was successfully distorted by anger, Suzaku maintained a smile and pinched Shuai Gong's waist even harder than before, with the potential to wring a piece of flesh off.

Children are very childish and forgetful.After being joked about, he also forgot about the little episode in the morning.He began to hold the cup of cold drink, and angrily talked about what happened in the afternoon class.Amidst Donggong's insane complaints, Yingying and Suzaku probably understood why the spring was like a small firecracker today.

It was only because of an academic dispute with Guangjun in the afternoon.Genji taught Donggong to believe in the elders' principles, and to follow the elders' wishes when they don't know.On the other hand, Donggong believes that people live in the world, use history as a mirror, and the principles of the predecessors come first, and they still have to have their own thinking in the present.The two couldn't stop arguing. Of course, Mr. Genji would not be serious with a child, so he casually comforted him with a few words.

But it was this kind of attitude that made Donggong feel very uncomfortable, feeling that this elder brother whom he had always respected and loved did not treat him as he thought.Some sad and depressed Quan told his mother about it.And what made him completely angry was that Barnacle Nakamiya said to him in a gentle and kind tone: "You are still young, so naturally you have to listen to the elders..."

"...So I ran out," Donggong blinked, and suppressed the tears of grievance that came up, "Brother Huang, I still think I was right, why did Brother Guanghuang and mother say that? .”

Suzaku glanced out and saw that Quan's wet nurse and other attendants were waiting in the corridor not far away, so she knew that this child was still very modest.After listening to Quan's narration with her chin propped, Hotaru stretched out her hand and pressed Quan's shoulder, "You're not wrong, why are you sad?"

Donggong looked up at them with puffed cheeks.

"Since you know how to use history as a mirror, you should know the principles of the predecessors," Suzaku patiently explained, "but the successes and failures of the predecessors, of course it is meaningless if you don't discern. Knowing the proposition and being cautious, of course you are right."

The explanation and support of the two imperial brothers made Quan happy all of a sudden.The sorrowful clouds dissipated, and the smile on that cute little face was really pleasing to the eye.Suzaku sighed in his heart, this child really looked more and more like his second brother.It's just that Genji at this age is not as lively as Prince Quan.

"Brother Guanghuang can make mistakes too." Quan rolled over on the mat and turned over, "I thought a character like him wouldn't make mistakes."

"Who can't make mistakes? Why do you think he can't make mistakes." Shuai Gong snorted.

"Because he is good-looking!" Donggong said firmly.

"..."

"But now it seems that I am right, so I look better than him!" Prince Quan was a little proud, his little eyebrows trembling, "Although I am still a little younger now, I will definitely look better than him when I grow up. .”

Shuai Gong was choked up by these words, picked up the cup next to him and poured water desperately.His Majesty Suzaku laughed to one side, pointed at Quan and nodded desperately, "Yes, yes, you look good, you look the best."

Next, Ying and Quan quarreled and played tricks.Suzaku watched the battle with relish, and was often amused by it.Quan is not as clever as Yingying for the time being, and he is often caught in the conversation.At this time, Suzaku would subtly mention something beside him, or simply help Quan deal with the handsome palace.

Occasionally, when she couldn't say it, Donggong simply started to play tricks, "I'm still young, why don't you let me go."

Yingying was very dissatisfied with Quan's act of temporarily taking Suzaku away, with a slight chill in her mouth, "You didn't let me, you see, His Majesty has helped you."

"Your Majesty the emperor helped me because I'm smart and cute, are you as cute as me!" Quan stared back unwillingly.Shuai Gong is really ashamed to admit that he is cute on this issue, so he can only hold back his breath to comfort himself that adults don't remember villains.

It's rare to see Hotaru deflated, and it's still about the dispute about appearance.Suzaku was in a good mood, took Dong Gong's little hand to let him sit next to her, and took the cold handkerchief to wipe his sweat.Yingying looked at Quan's proud little eyes that occasionally flew over, and almost wanted to pick him up and throw him out.

After playing around for a while, he explained some unknown issues to Donggong by the way.Donggong's wet nurse was waiting outside, indicating that it was time for Donggong to go back.This scene was exactly the same as when teaching Shuai Gong more than ten years ago, and both Suzaku and Yingying were deeply moved.

Before leaving, Donggong happily took Suzaku's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to see my father in two days. At that time, you, Brother Ying, and me, will go together, okay?"

"This..." Suzaku was taken aback, "Didn't Lord Guang accompany you in the past, and besides, there was His Majesty Zhonggong."

"I want to go with you. When I went to see my father, he often said that it would be great if the three brothers could go to see him together."

Donggong is well-behaved and sensible, even though it was just an unintentional sigh from Tonghuyuan, he secretly remembered it for a long time.He raised his head and looked at the two elder brothers expectantly, hoping that they would agree.

Now the relationship between their father and son is complicated, if not a sentence or two, or an occasional greeting can untie the knot.However, they are father and son no matter what, and they cannot cut off such a human relationship.

Hotaru patted Suzaku's shoulder and nodded slightly.Suzaku was already emotional, bent down and patted Quan's cheek, "My good boy, let's go see Father Emperor together in two days."

Quan cheered, trotted to hold the nurse's hand, turned around and said goodbye to the two brothers, and followed the nurse back happily.His Majesty Suzaku and Shuai Gong watched him leave, each with their own thoughts.

"Quan, what a good boy..."

"That's true," Yingying echoed, and lowered her head to play with Suzaku's fingers, "If the future is passed on to him, what do you think?"

Such words are simply outrageous, but Suzaku never cares about what Yingying said.He replied seriously: "From the point of view of this moment, he is indeed a very reassuring child."

"With your words, it is enough."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's nothing," Yingying raised the corners of her mouth and shook her head with a smile. "Although I don't know how to teach the child, I will try my best to give this child what I know in this life. Although he already has a guardian, if he can learn more Things are good. I am very relieved to have such a word from you now."

"It is my luck to have you so dedicated. In the future, this child will definitely live up to your hopes."

"Ah."

Hotaru smiled softly at Suzaku, and took his hand into her own, clasping her fingers together with a firm sense of security.Putting back all hesitation, he told himself that those decisions were not wrong.

The author has something to say: ah ha ha ha, today's hand speed exploded!

I don’t know how many chapters can be sweeter, I’m still looking forward to the little abuse~ hehehe
