Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

In the middle of the night, Yinggong was awakened by a loud thunder.He suddenly sat up, stretched his palm to the side but didn't touch Suzaku's hand.He panicked, struggled again and realized that he did not stay in Qingliang Palace today, but in Chengxiang Palace.Outside, purple lightning split the sky, illuminating the entire paper door.

The night watch maid held a dim candle, and cautiously greeted outside the door if she was okay.Ying touched the cold sweat on his forehead, blinked hard, "It's okay, you go down." The hoarse voice really startled even himself.

The maid hesitated for a moment, but she closed the sliding door and retreated.

Firefly threw herself back on the mat, panting heavily.I was very irritable for no reason, and there was always a bad feeling about something happening.Anxiety lingered in his heart, causing Shuai Gongjiang to be kicked aside.Such depressed thoughts lasted for a while, before Ying fell asleep again while tossing and turning.

Waking up on the second day, Shuai Gong's eyes were a little blue, as if he hadn't had a good rest.Suzaku touched it with his fingertips, "Didn't you rest yesterday?"

Yingying still had some headaches, she nodded sloppyly, and wanted to find a place to lie down and sleep well for a while.Suzaku saw his intention and took a soft pillow to signal him to take the opportunity to rest.Firefly waved her hand to signal no, and wanted to lie down on Suzaku's lap.

"Let's sleep on the pillow," Suzaku resigned helplessly, "Quan will come over later."

Today is the day to visit Tonghuyuan together, Donggong will come to visit the present in a while, and then leave for Suzakuyuan together.If Yingying was lying on Suzaku's lap now, it would cause a storm if other people saw her.Shuai Gong pulled the pillow, threw it to the side, and lay down with his eyes closed in a daze.Seeing Ying like this, Suzaku reached out and patted his back gently, as if coaxing His Highness Ying when he was young.

In this wonderful relationship, it seems that Hotaru is always taking the lead.But many times, his dependence on Suzaku was even deeper than he thought.It is understandable to say that this is a habit brought out since childhood, but what makes Suzaku feel gratified is Yingzai's undefended attitude.For the identity of the host, it is a blessing to have such a person who does not hide anything from time to time.

Firefly was sleepy at first, but because of the uneasiness, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Suzaku's pat and caress finally had some effect, Yinggong fell asleep in a daze, and still felt the sound from outside in the light sleep.After sleeping for less than two quarters of an hour, the attendants lifted the curtain to report that the Barnacle Central Palace and the East Palace had arrived.

Zhonggong took Donggong to bow down to see Suzaku, and at the same time Yingying also bowed down to salute.Quan looked like saluting, but his expression was eccentric and very cute.There was tenderness in Suzaku's eyes, and he signaled the two of them to get up in a gentle tone.After saying a few polite words, Zhong Gong was about to sit behind the curtain.They have to wait for the audience of Mr. Genji before they can set off together.

"His Royal Highness, I want to talk to the two imperial brothers." Quan asked his mother for instructions in a low voice, his eyes full of pleading.On such an occasion, Zhonggong would naturally not refute his son's request.Gently told not to offend the two elder brothers, then walked away by himself.

The bamboo curtain was lowered slowly, and Donggong spread a very cheerful smile and ran to Shuai Gongxia.Sitting down close to him with cross-legged, the corners of his mouth were widened with his head raised.Shuai Gong smiled at him, stretched out his hand to touch Dong Gong's head, and said some funny things.Suzaku watched from the sidelines, seeing that Yingying's spirit was much better than before, so she was relieved a lot.

"I didn't know that His Majesty Donggong and His Majesty Shuai have such a good relationship."

"Looking at Donggong, I really admire this elder brother."

Sitting bored, the maids began to gossip, and the topic naturally couldn't be separated from the prince present.Ying Gongxia has always been cold and unfeeling, treating others like ice.Facing the East Palace today, showing such tenderness, everyone was amazed and deeply attracted by this scene.Just thinking of the letter of confession like a rock sinking into the ocean, I felt infinitely disappointed again.I don't know who is so lucky to be treated so tenderly by the handsome palace.

"There is only a child like Dong Gong in this palace, and he is so cute. Even if he is as indifferent as Shuai Gong, he can't help but love him."

"That's right. Speaking of which, His Majesty and His Majesty Shuai have never chosen a concubine to marry a wife... Have you heard any news?"

"Oh, I haven't heard of it at all," said a well-informed palace attendant.Everyone likes to inquire about the news in the palace from her.But this time she said with great regret: "It's not unusual, it has never been heard. It would be really strange if it got out one day."

The unchanging answer disappointed the group of women.You must know that there has been no interesting news from this palace for a long time.They shook the folding fans in their hands, a little unwilling to let go of the current topic.A slightly weak voice sounded, as timid as its owner.But what he said was not timid at all, "If His Majesty never chooses a concubine, then there will be no heirs..."

"It's not allowed to talk nonsense, just shut up!" An older female officer next to him reprimanded.Seeing the speaker shrink back in fright, he smiled triumphantly and coldly, "If there is no heir, someone will be happy..."

Everyone looked at each other tacitly, and there was an atmosphere called knowing each other in the air.In this weird atmosphere, there were inscrutable smiles on the corners of their mouths, and they looked at each other and chatted about other topics happily.

"Have you heard, Mr. Genji recently fell in love with the princess of Changlu Palace?"

"Princess Changlu Palace?" Someone exclaimed, then lowered his voice and said eagerly: "But I remember her, she..."

"That's right, our flamboyant Highness, who is looking for flowers and asking willows, might be surprised this time."

……

The palace attendants on one side were chatting and laughing, it was very lively, but the barnacle palace was very quiet.This concubine has always been well-known in the world for her elegant manners and perfect etiquette.Even her attendants are the same, very polite.Comparing the hatchback, it seems that other people are very frivolous.

The laughter came faintly, and Zhonggong Xiumei put her hands on her knees, and said softly: "... Tell me, why does Donggong have such a good relationship with his imperial brothers?"

"...Of course it's because the East Palace is pleasing to the people." The people who followed him didn't know what His Highness meant by what he said, so they said some nice words, thinking that they couldn't go wrong.

Nakamiya was noncommittal to this answer, and did not show much dissatisfaction.The expression of the eyes is still soft, with a little sadness, like vines in spring.This kind of gaze lightly fell on the nurse in the East Palace next to her, without giving people a sense of oppression, and slowly fell on the tassels of the bamboo curtain, as if she could not drift far away.

Genji son finally arrived in the anticipation of everyone.As soon as he appeared, there was a small commotion around him - for a long time, he hadn't seen Guang Jun on such a grand occasion.One reason is that people don't really like banquets nowadays, and the other reason is that the palace is too old to attract his interest.

Mr. Guang entered Qingliang Palace, saluted His Majesty and East Palace, and greeted each other with Shuai Palace.Because Hotaru had learned how to make incense with his mother, his nose was very sensitive, and he immediately smelled the different incense on Genji's body from usual.The incense is not to say that it is not enough status, it is indeed a very noble thing.It's just that the taste is simple and simple, and it also has a dull tide, because it has been left for a while.

This kind of collocation does not match Guangjun's attire today, it is not his style at all.Mr. Genji has noble taste and uses all the good things of the moment.The item he chooses will definitely be popular in the whole imperial capital.I don't know if this incense is smelled by other people today, will there always be an old and damp smell in the Qingliang Temple in the future.

Realizing that Mr. Genji wanted to enter the palace directly from another place, Shuaigong didn't intend to make fun of it, and just talked to him with a normal expression.If Genji knew, he must not know how to thank this brother for his thoughtfulness.

It turned out that he did come directly from somewhere else.In recent days, he did not know where he came to know that the princess of Changlu Palace is a very rare character because of her superb piano skills.Fascinated by this, he immediately pursued her and wrote several beautiful and moving love letters.After some time, the princess finally wrote back to him.

The paper used and the words and sentences are very old-fashioned, with a serious look of sitting upright.Genji speculated that it must be because the princess had a strict upbringing since she was a child, and her personality was a bit old-fashioned.But the more this happened, the more interested he was aroused.Finally kissed Fangze last night.

But what he didn't expect was that when he woke up this morning, the princess was as beautiful as he thought.To describe it as ugly, I'm afraid it can't even compare to the maids in Erjo Courtyard.Especially the red nose, it really turns people off.Shocked, Genji ran away, forgetting to go back and change his clothes before entering the palace.

The old incense smell on the clothes reminded Guangjun what happened last night, he was depressed, and felt that even the elegant incense from Qingliang Temple could not dispel the bad luck smell.

The author has something to say: overtime + procrastination = dog leash!

I released the last flower and made soy sauce ~ her appearance was originally before Izumi was born and Mrs. Aoi passed away ~ I came out directly from the new love house to meet the old love, Genji, you have a really big heart.

In fact, the setting here is that after Mrs. Aoi's death, Genji became more and more erotic, which is more in line with the next development.

In addition, there will be three updates on Sunday, and it will still be updated on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, okay~

When it's over, I will list the timeline of the original work, and you can take a look at it at that time ~ Thank you for your support!
