Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

After that, Tonghuyuan has been in a deep coma.It's rare that I can't express myself clearly when I'm awake.Only vague and feeble responses could be made.The originally elegant face became extremely thin and haggard at this time, and the decayed and withered appearance made people feel sad when they saw it, and they could shed tears from time to time.

And the strong guardianship of the female guards in the Honghui Palace also makes it difficult for others to approach. Even at such a moment, it is suspicious to fight against each other, which leads to resentment.But it also dilutes some anxiety, maybe this is where the strength of a strong person lies.

As for those who are at a disadvantage, they can only rejoice that everything in front of them has been arranged properly, and no major changes can occur.I also put aside the momentary conflict of emotions, and plan to ask for it if I have a chance in the future.

As for the handsome palace, everything has already been properly arranged.When he came to report to His Majesty, Suzaku was silent for a while, then sighed sadly: "This feeling of waiting to leave..."

Before he finished speaking, he was already crying.

Although the illness in Tonghuyuan did not make him panic to the point of being at a loss, it was also extremely sad.He has been looking forward to his father's gaze since he was a child. Whenever that complex gaze falls on him, Suzaku can always feel the clear pride and subtle disgust inside.Although they get along strangely, this still can't change the bond between father and son.

His Majesty is gentle and restrained, so as an adult, he naturally wouldn't show a look of great grief and pain.But sometimes, being able to express one's feelings freely is a kind of compassion, isn't it?

Saying anything now seems powerless and pale, but this is just part of life.The elders who walk in the front will leave one day, and as children, they must make such preparations every day.

"It would be hypocritical to say something to make you feel sorry for you at this time." Ying took Suzaku's right hand and pulled him into her arms again, "So I'd better let you take a rest here."

"Nonsense," Suzaku said with a wry smile, but did not refuse.Carefully and slowly relax your body, as if you want to remove a heavy burden from your shoulders very lightly.At the end, he let out a long breath, as if he had accomplished a great event.

"In the past few days, His Royal Highness Mother has been taking care of Emperor Father. She refuses other people's visits, which makes me very worried."

"Well, there is a lot of dissatisfaction in the middle palace, but I can't find a chance to see it. The two should not quarrel in front of everyone. But it will be hard to say in the future."

His Majesty and His Majesty the Shuai Palace naturally went to visit his father, but at that time Tonghuyuan was always in a coma.Suzaku also offered to look after her, but was mercilessly rejected by His Royal Highness the Queen.But judging from the imperial physician's report, they had to meet in Tonghuyuan when they were awake no matter what.

This opportunity did not wait too long, about a day or two later.Tonghuyuan finally woke up from the long-term coma, his face became rosy, and even eating was much smoother.The people who got the news didn't feel so lucky.Just because everyone knows that this is just the reflection of a long-term sick person.

His Royal Highness Honghui raised his hand to feed his husband the last mouthful of soup, and waved his hand to make the kneeling maid retreat.Her expression was indifferent, but the movements in her hands were very meticulous and orderly.

"It's already at this time, do you still want to hide from them and not see anyone?"

Tonghuyuan laughed, "You are really straightforward. Actually, it's because you are tired of taking care of me, a useless drag."

"Probably... I have already avoided a lot of trouble for you. With the relationship between you and me, it is considered as humane and righteous to do this." Her Royal Highness said nonchalantly, "Besides, you don't have to lament that you have already gotten used to We hate each other... Ha, maybe this frankness now makes you and me a little easier. At the end of life, it's better to be comfortable."

Her Royal Highness spoke the most ruthless words in an extremely elegant tone, and Tonghuyuan listened silently, showing a serious expression.He didn't reprimand this His Highness for his rudeness and boldness, or he saw the irreparable rift between the two sides during the long confrontation.That false pretense really wasn't necessary.

In this incomprehensible world, being frank with one's own mind has become a kind of favor.

"You're right... I don't like you... I even hate you..."

Even though the facts were already known, the maid from the Honghui Palace trembled almost invisible when she heard these words, "...what do you want to say."

"But I did try my best to fall in love with you."

Even if I couldn't help myself, I also wanted to like you.

However, in the end, it reached such an irreparable point.

When Tonghuyuan ascended the throne, the power of the right minister had already grown in the court.Marrying a woman from a prominent family was the most reasonable thing for the young owner at that time.As a result, the daughter of the minister of the right, who was in her prime, was selected as a servant of the Royal Box Palace, and it was not long before she was in charge of the Honghui Palace.

During the time they were just together, the relationship between the two was of course very sweet.At that time, Her Royal Highness had a luxurious appearance and a fiery and dedicated personality.Although a bit domineering, it can't hide her amorous feelings.This made His Majesty, who was somewhat meek, feel a different charm.Therefore, Tonghuyuan said that he once wanted to fall in love with Nvyu, it was not a lie to deceive her.

However, the fact that His Majesty indulged in the warmth of his children in private made Nuyu jealous, very dissatisfied and sad.She is not a patient person, of course she will argue with His Majesty.That single-minded and enthusiastic character has become a domineering that men criticize.

However, His Majesty was tired of coping with the imperial court's strife and struggle, and he also deeply felt his own incompetence and restraint.Behind the beloved woman stood a force that frightened him.Even if he is a little more pleasant to other women in the harem, he will be asked to participate in the next day's court meeting.

The gap is always getting bigger and bigger in the little things that accumulate over time.In order to balance the forces in the court, more and more noble daughters of families entered the imperial palace and became the masters of the palace.But the forces behind them did not make His Majesty feel happy at all.He began to like those weak and helpless women who had no obvious status.

And when the passion receded, the man's eyes no longer fell on him.The beautiful concubine who waited all night in the cold and gorgeous palace probably finally understood that this love is just a poor joke.

……

When their child was born into this world, the cold relationship softened for a while.Tonghuyuan really likes this child who is very similar to himself.Honghuidian also softened his attitude because of the tenderness shown by this man.

However, the contradiction has existed from the very beginning.With an heir, this irreparable contradiction will continue to be passed on.The warmth at this time is just the prelude to a future breakdown, the ferocious smirk of ruthless fate.

Tonghuyuan is dissatisfied with Honghui Palace for making Suzaku the successor tool of the family's interests, and the female emperor is annoyed at Tonghuyuan's naive way of letting the prince out of the family's protection.The two stood on opposite shores and fought and quarreled, and the helpless child cried helplessly on the small boat in the waves.

Seeing the baby Suzaku weeping helplessly, Tong Huyuan thought of the tragic situation in which he was now in the quagmire, and hated him immensely.And Nuyu felt that this child would be as incompetent and careless as his father in the future, so she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.That face resembling that of his father became a disaster.Because of selfishness and cowardice, the eldest son of the emperor was abandoned by his parents.

……

The appearance of getting along with each other icily slipped into an irreversible abyss after a few years.

It is nothing new for His Majesty to be addicted to the pleasures of the harem and not to be keen on the former dynasty.The fact that different women are favored and out of favor is nothing more than gossip among women in the palace in recent years.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this amorous majesty would suddenly love a low-status dresser so much—even to the point of ignoring the existence of other people for her, and only adored her alone.

The changer is the Tonghu Nvyu who was later posthumously crowned three, and the biological mother of Genji.But at this time, she was still just a little-known low-ranking dresser, and she only captured the heart of this majesty who lingered in the flowers in the occasional glance.

Everyone thought that His Majesty was just as greedy for novelty as before.But slowly, His Majesty's love for this dresser has reached the point of dazzling.The jealous harem women almost teamed up to torture and humiliate her.

And Honghuidian, who thought he had given up his heart after years of watching with cold eyes, felt surprisingly angry at this time.The long-awaited nostalgia, the love that once had but passed away reappeared in someone else's body.That man's heart rested everywhere like a butterfly, but now he showed the attitude of a tired bird returning to the forest.

Yeah, this is really ridiculous...

……

The harem of the Honghui Palace Commander naturally knows what other people have done.But she didn't stop it at all, and it became encouragement in His Majesty's eyes.The usual cynicism from Her Majesty the Royal Highness angered him even more in this state.

This somewhat cowardly man suddenly showed an extremely tough posture.Ignoring the previous dynasty's advice, he favored Tonghu more and more in the harem to change clothes.Even in order to protect her, he took her to the Houliang Palace.However, things only got worse and worse, and Tonghu Changyi finally became seriously ill because he couldn't stand the torture.

Because of His Majesty's reluctance and procrastination, he has been reluctant to let her change clothes back to her mother's home to recuperate.That poor woman finally couldn't bear such affection, leaving a poor child to go to the bliss in the west early.And because her child inherited her mother's beautiful appearance and her father's guilt, she continued to stir up waves of emotions and desires in this deep and secluded palace.

This love is probably a curse...

The author has something to say: Royal box palace.Also known as the Zhenguan Hall, it is located directly above the north of the Changning Hall, with the Denghua Hall on the west side and the Honghui Hall on the lower corner of the west side.On the east side is Xuanyao Hall, and on the lower corner of the east side is Lijing Hall.Bie Dang of the Yuxia Palace (the head of the female officials of the Yuxia Palace) is often used as a transitional position before the canonization of the female emperor.I remember it was also translated as Shangshi.I didn’t have the materials with me when I wrote this, so I’ll check the original book tomorrow to make sure.

I don't know how the Honghui Palace entered the palace, but for the time being, I refer to the method of Obscure Moon Night.In other words, I only profiled such an important female supporting role at the very beginning, and I also admire myself.I haven't finished talking about the previous generation, because this plot is quite important, please allow me to talk a little longer.

I am guilty (kneeling) for working overtime to death and still being addicted to games.but!The style of writing in the first few chapters is too weird, I played a few games of Naruto, and finally found the Japanese style!For this sake, please don't slap your face (...)
