Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Under the careful care of the two female Royal Highnesses and the imperial physician, the situation in Tonghuyuan finally improved day by day.Although it was just a minor ailment this time, the recovery time was much slower because of his age.But finally came the joyful good news.

Dong Gongxia, who had been left in the imperial palace all this time, also came to Suzaku Court under the guard of Shuai Palace.The relationship between father and son has always been very touching, and Prince Quan's respect and love for his father is the most real among the several princes.So when the emperor's father fell ill, Donggong was the one who worried the most.

Although the energy is far less than before, but with Donggong's company, Tonghuyuan's smile has become a little more.Keeping a happy mood helps recovery, so Donggong insisted on staying in Tonghuyuan to accompany his father.Although worried about Donggong's young age, Tonghuyuan still hopes that the youngest son can stay by his side.Because of this, Shuai Gong didn't try to persuade him any more, but only said a few more words about taking care of his health.

After Donggong stayed, Zhonggong had no reason to return to the palace, so please stay here to take care of her.Tong Huyuan naturally agreed.It's just that the maid of Honghui Palace is very disdainful. She doesn't want to be a superfluous character here, and she is disgusting every day.Just when Nakamiya said she wanted to stay, she immediately said she wanted to leave immediately.

Tonghuyuan didn't say anything, but told the Shuai Palace to ask him to escort Honghui Palace back.He also ordered a few words to tell His Majesty, and asked Shuai Gong to convey it on his behalf.Hong Huidian scribbled that he would trouble Shuai Palace to leave, and then he didn't even want to be polite, so he just took a group of people back to pack their luggage and prepare to go back to the palace.

When Shuai Gongxia went out, Donggong came to see him off, "Brother Huang can send me here, I am really grateful."

"It doesn't have to be like this," Shuai Gong patted his horsewhip, "Father has always valued you, if you can stay here, he will probably get well sooner."

Quan was a little embarrassed, twisted his body, and said shamelessly: "The past two days... Your Majesty, brother, must be very tired of being pestered by me."

"Who says it's not..." Shuai Gong laughed, raised his hand and touched Prince Quan's head, "I just can't stand it anymore, so I ask Your Majesty to let me send you here."

"Ah, I thought Brother Huang pleaded for me because he pityed me."

"No, I just feel sorry for Suzaku."

Dong Gong looked at him angrily, his eyes were full of questioning that he must tell the truth.Shuai Gong pinched Dong Gong's face and got on his horse.The tall and upright appearance on horseback is really like a god.

"Your Majesty has not allowed you to come, just because you are afraid that you will not be able to take good care of you when everyone is upset. If you also contract the disease due to some accident, it will be a bad thing. Please don't think that Brother Huang treats you badly because of this. .”

"No, I know what His Majesty the Emperor means. I've been self-willed these days." Quan said in a very obedient and sensible way that he is not an ignorant kid who makes trouble for no reason. "Although it is better to say it in person, but Brother Ying can Apologize for me and His Majesty, because of Quan's waywardness these days."

"Although I don't think Suzaku will blame you...but since you asked for it, I will bring it for you."

"Great, thank you Brother Yinghuang!"

"Okay, I'm leaving, you go back quickly."

Ying bid farewell to the East Palace, escorted the daughter of Honghui Palace back to the imperial palace, and then went to Suzaku.After conveying the instructions from Tonghuyuan and the apology from the East Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief.Suzaku handed over a cup of tea and said hard work.

"It doesn't matter," Ying waved her hand, and talked to Suzaku about the situation in Tonghuyuan, "I see that the father's improvement is slightly better than before. It's just that the human spirit is not as good as before."

"Spring is warm and cold, it's time to be sick. And father is a casual person..." Suzaku sighed.Since Tonghuyuan abdicated, everything is easy and there is no need to worry about it, of course it is carefree.Not to mention singing and singing every night, but it is also quite fun.He especially loves rhythm, and often has good songs handed down.If there is someone like Concubine Yang by her side, there must be another Tang Minghuang.Fortunately, this Jiangshan Sheji has finally been entrusted with, and there is no discussion about it.

His Majesty Ying Gong didn't take this matter very seriously, he only said that the emperor's character is just like this, so there is no need to persuade him too much.After contracting the disease this time, if he felt powerless, he would naturally restrain himself.

For the sake of the health of Tonghuyuan, eminent monks and masters from all over the palace were invited to teach the Dharma and popular scriptures.This matter is very serious, and Shuai Gong, who has never cared about it, also bowed his head and listened.If one is criticized for deviant in this regard, it would not be such a good reputation.

The prayer for the Buddha lecture was held for about a month before it was successfully concluded.Because the Dharma was taught by eminent monks, many people became enlightened and found some relief from the difficulties in this secular world.However, like His Majesty Suzaku, the person who is most bound by the mortal world, the more he realizes, the harder it is.No one wants their sweetheart to show sadness, and this is the reason why the handsome palace has always disliked this way.

A few more years passed, and it was time for the red leaves to fall.At this time in previous years, there must be a celebration of red leaves, which is my favorite program today.Because it is the most suitable for Ying Gongxia, he must pick the most eye-catching one with his own hands and wear it on the temples of Ying Gongxia.

It's just that this year the wind is bleak, and the red leaves in the palace are not as bright as in previous years.The wind in the court got tighter, and the confrontation made people lose their appreciation.

General Genji seemed to be bothered by the tense atmosphere and wanted to go to Saga, but he didn't make it due to various reasons.His Majesty Shuai Gong received several letters from all over Kyushu, and his expression was very solemn.Following His Majesty's side, Dong Gong felt the tense atmosphere from the court for the first time, her little face was tense.But His Majesty Suzaku is the one who can't be free.The forces of North Korea and China seem to have the intention of uniting, and it is very urgent to exert pressure together.Perhaps some small things that happen at this time will become the trigger for the outbreak of people's debate.

The things in it are extremely complicated, and people can't understand them.By the time Suzaku and Shuai Gong tried their best to settle the situation, it was already the end of November.Those beautiful red maples have already fallen into the dust, leaving only the branches hanging in the air.

"I guess it's my illusion. I always feel that this year's time passes faster." During a walk, Suzaku sighed to Yinggong beside him.

Seeing Suzaku's black and blue eyes, Ying felt extremely distressed, and took two steps forward to hold his hand and said, "This year is very busy, and the burden on me is too great."

"That's true," Suzaku, who had always been patient and tenacious, couldn't help feeling this way.The tiredness on his face could no longer be tolerated.He rested his head lightly on Ying Gong's shoulder, and pretended to be resting.Shuai Gong put his arms around him, kissed Suzaku's forehead, and silently gave him comfort.

"firefly……"

"Ok?"

"When did you grow so tall?"

Shuai Gong was stunned for a moment, before he could answer, he heard Suzaku chuckle, "Ah, you have surpassed me since you were 15 years old. This year, you have grown so much that I have to look up."

However, I still can't share the slightest for you.

Yingying paused in her heart, feeling unwilling, and her eyes became much darker.

Suzaku leaned against his arms with eyes closed, and patted Shuai Gong's hand, "Don't think so much, you've already helped me a lot. It's just that I've been a little tired recently, so I always have some rare emotions."

"...It will be fine in a while," Shuai Gong comforted weakly.He didn't know how long it would take before he could end up in this state.He didn't even believe what he said.Yingsu has always been a confident and firm person, but now that she is in such a dilemma, she has already encountered a very difficult situation.

"Yeah, it will be fine after a while," Suzaku straightened up, repeating as if to cheer himself up.Then he smiled at Yinggong: "I want to see plum blossoms first, do you know which places have the best plum blossoms?"

"I don't know yet," Yingying paused, and her heart surged suddenly, "but it doesn't matter. We can look for it together in the future, and one day we will find the most beautiful one."

Suzaku smiled, "That's right. At that time, we can go find together..."

The moment of thinking about the future time is so peaceful now, but it is just the warmth before the winter wind howls.Both Suzaku and Hotaru knew that this moment of calm was just an illusion of tranquility before the confrontation broke out.Before long, there will always be a time when a closure is needed.

One night before the arrival of the New Year, the news reported by Suzaku Court overnight ignited every restless brazier in the imperial palace.Everyone woke up from their slumber, their clothes soaked in cold sweat——

The old disease in Tonghuyuan relapsed, and the person has fallen into a coma, and there is a great sign of going west.

The author has something to say: I am now lying dead on the bed because of a stomach problem, and I also have a sign of going west.
