Chapter 26 Living Room of the Four Princesses

Princess, Horatio. princess. "I asked the king to call you over from Wittenberg. You met Hamlet last night, how was it? You really can't stand it, right? Why did he suddenly become like that? I'm always talking nonsense. On the margins, he loses his temper at every turn, sees him laughing non-stop, and sees him crying in front of the ministers all over the court, and is full of crazy words all day long, I tell you, bite the king. You don't know how hard I have worked for him alone. He was also timid, timid and eccentric when he was a child, but he hasn't reached that point yet. Sometimes he will come up with some weird ideas to make us happy. He was originally a very innocent child. He was the child his father expected in his later years, and his father loved him very much, and he was the only child I cherished the most, so we followed his wishes in everything from childhood to adulthood, it seems This is hurting him. After all, children born to older parents are still relatively poor in qualifications. He can't rely on his parents like this forever, and act like a baby with his parents. You know how much he liked his late father. Come on, I love to stay in his father's room from morning to night. When I was a child, it was even more extreme. Whenever I couldn't see his father for a while, he would pout everywhere and ask people where his father was. Everyone couldn't bear him. His father because That unexpected heart attack happened so suddenly, he must have been very confused and didn't know what to do. Since the first king left, he has become so independent. Plus I, alas, this is also very embarrassing I have considered the overall situation in Denmark. Marrying Claudius in name is another unexpected thing for the child. Probably because of this, it made him feel even worse. Think about the child carefully. It’s also very pitiful, and I really can’t blame him. But he is also the dignified Prince Hamlet of Denmark, and he will inherit the throne soon, because his parents only know how to cry and make troubles when they are not around for a while, and the first one will be looked down upon by the ministers. Now this paragraph Period is very important. Although Claudius and I are married, it is impossible to leave to other cities. I am also Hamlet's biological mother, and we will live together. Besides, the current king is originally Not an outsider, he is such a good uncle with Hamlet, as long as Hamlet is willing to adjust his awkward mood for a while, I think everything can go smoothly. Claudius also made his previous frivolous behavior He has calmed down a lot, and now he is trying to match the great achievements of the former king. He has also worried a lot about Hamlet. They are relatives, and they probably have many things to worry about. I am between the two of them. It makes me break out in a cold sweat every time. Hamlet has looked down on his uncle from the bottom of his heart, that’s not okay. Even if they are father and son now, Hamlet should pay more attention to his manners, he is no longer the uncle goat he used to be. The situation is tense now. Look at Norway. There is even news that the army has been sent out of the country. Really, look at what he is doing at such an urgent time. As long as Hamlet will listen to us obediently, er The hearts of the people in King City of Ersino will be much more stable, and the king can also focus on diplomacy.What a stupid kid.I think he is not self-conscious enough as a Danish prince. He is twenty-three years old, and he is still like a girl, always following the former king and his mother.Horatio, how old are you? "

Huo. "Back to Your Majesty, thanks to you, I am twenty-two this year." princess. "Look. Hamlet should be regarded as your older brother by one year, but on the contrary, you look five years older than him, and your body is better than his. Remember that your school grades are better than his. The most important thing is The attitude is steady. How are Mom and Dad recently?" Huo. "Thank you for your concern. They are still living leisurely in the city in the countryside. This is all thanks to the good government of Denmark." princess. "I envy your mother very much. I don't know how happy I will be to have such an outstanding son. In contrast, Hamlet, judging by his current appearance, probably has nothing to look forward to. He made a fuss over a little sad thing, and Crying, vomiting,—”

Huo. "Forgive me for contradicting you, Your Highness Hamlet, no, Your Highness, no, His Highness Hamlet is by no means such a bad person. He is the only person I respect, and I am worthless and frivolous, who suffers every time. Correction from His Highness Hamlet. I like His Highness Hamlet the most, so every time I face His Highness Hamlet, I don’t know what I’m talking about. His Highness Hamlet has a good mind, so he knows what I’m going to say before I even open my mouth What, it just makes me feel helpless." princess. "That's not his strength. I know you want to defend your good friend, but it's not worth pointing out his shortcomings to praise him. He has been able to look at other people's faces since he was a child, which is evidence of his natural cringe. It is completely redundant for a man who stands up to the sky."

Huo. "Forgive me for contradicting you. You shouldn't accuse Hamlet one by one like this. My mother has never entered the bedroom before me. She won't sleep until after I go to bed. Even if I tell her to go to bed first, she He absolutely refused, and answered me, "You are not my only child. You will soon become a retainer of His Majesty the King. I am raising you for the King now. How can I be rude." I am so useless My child, seeing my mother respect and love me so sincerely, I will also spur myself to be an upright person.Her Majesty the Princess has said too much about Her Royal Highness Hamlet, which will put Hamlet in a dilemma.Your Majesty Princess, didn't you just say that Her Highness Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark, did you forget that you said so.Your Royal Highness Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark, not your own child, Your Majesty the Princess.Moreover, he is also the master we should sacrifice our lives to protect in the future.Please take good care of Your Majesty Hamlet. "

princess. "Oh, oh. I didn't expect to be sent by you in reverse. I know you are loyal to Hamlet, but you are still a child after all. I will never forgive you for your arrogant tone. The second time. Most other people will not understand the true relationship between biological parents and children, so outsiders must not easily make irresponsible remarks on other people’s families. I think your mother is indeed a good mother, although it is different from my approach It's not the same, but even I will never open my mouth to interfere with your housework. The mother and son's affairs, just leave it to the mother and son. There are many situations that are different between the subordinates and the Wang family, so you are not allowed to have this kind of situation again in the future An impulsive and impertinent accusation—did Hamlet say something to you?"

Huo. "Back to Your Majesty, that's not true,—" princess. "You don't have to be so nervous all of a sudden. Where did the energy go? Be careful that people will say that you have the same problem as Hamlet. A boy should act like a boy. Even if he is scolded, he must answer loudly and squarely. Hamlet Did you speak ill of me outside again? Am I right?" Huo. "Excuse me for contradicting you, no, excuse me, excuse me,—forgive me,—" princess. "What are you talking about. It's ugly for boys to be too timid. I won't blame you for anything you say other than false accusations. You're like a man. Be open about it. Hamlet said something about us ?”

Huo. "His Highness said that you are very pitiful, and he sympathizes with you." princess. "Sympathy? Poor? This is strange. Are you speaking for him again? Is Hamlet trying to shut you up again?" Huo. "No, please forgive me for contradicting you. Your Highness Hamlet is not someone who would do despicable things like shutting someone's mouth. If His Highness Hamlet cannot say something in front of that person, he will never say it behind his back. If he If you have something to say, you will definitely say it in front of that person, he was like this in college, and he is like this now, so Your Highness Hamlet will always be like this.”

princess. "As soon as you hear Hamlet's name, you immediately pout your lips, and your voice becomes so loud. I know you must get along very well. Hamlet has no airs, and he doesn't know how to be stingy by nature, so he gets along very well with the younger generation." Huo. "Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything, I will not answer any more." princess. "I'm not talking about you. Aren't you a friend of Hamlet? Not only Hamlet, but I also rely on you. After talking with you like this, I also learned a lot. You are so easy to get angry, really exactly like Hamlet The young people nowadays are becoming more and more similar. Don't put on such an ugly face, let go, and tell me what you have to say. Hamlet will not speak ill of others behind his back, I I only found out after hearing what you said. If it’s true, I’m also very happy. Then maybe the child is really good to some extent.”

Huo. "So I just--" princess. "That's enough, you are not allowed to make inappropriate accusations. You are all too excited. Hamlet, too, why would he say something about sympathizing with us? Isn't this different from the usual him? Could it be true?" Huo. "Your Majesty, Princess. Even I feel sorry for Her Majesty, Princess." princess. "You are still talking about these things. Your bad habit is that you like to tease the elderly. Why am I pitiful? Come on, you can talk about it. I hate this kind of mystic talk the most." Huo. "To Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you don't know what Her Majesty Hamlet is thinking. Her Majesty Hamlet said to Horatio earnestly last night, I am too young, and I am always causing trouble to my uncle and queen. They are so pitiful." Uncle is willing to take the throne, I don’t know how grateful I am. His Royal Highness Hamlet believes in the love of the king, sometimes he will say some willful words to him, and sometimes he will deliberately talk back to him, but it is all because of the love between uncle and nephew. His relationship is at ease. Your Highness even said, aren't we the closest relatives? In fact, there is nothing to care about. Maybe I am acting like a baby, but in fact, uncle should know, but he said something depressed alone. Love turned into hatred, it's so funny. His Highness also said, I really like my uncle. Hearing His Highness's words, I was so happy that Horatio almost cried. At that time, I shouted in my heart, Long live Denmark Your Highness Hamlet is a great prince, he will not doubt others casually, His Highness's judgment is as fresh and warm as the spring breeze blowing through a wheat field, without any hindrance. When His Highness mentioned Her Majesty the Princess to Horatio, of course, It comes from the absolute trust and pride in the biological mother. Regarding this wedding, His Highness also said that it is the greatest sin for a son of man to carefully consider everything about his parents, and such a person is not qualified to be a human being."

princess. "Who? Who is not qualified to be a human being? Tell me carefully again." Huo. "I think I have made it very clear. Your Highness means that if there is someone who is a son of man and still thinks about the wedding, that kind of inferior person is better off dead. Your Highness Hamlet's character is It is very pure, it is very bright, and it is as clear as the lake in the mountains. Sir Horatio received many noble lessons from His Highness Hamlet yesterday. His Highness Hamlet is a role model for all our classmates." princess. "That's incredible. You praised Hamlet like this, and even my face turned red when I heard it. The child you respect, not that child, must be another good boy named Hamlet somewhere. I really don't know. I can't imagine that child would say something so majestic. Why do you groom him so much? No one knows the child's personality better than the biological mother. No, the child's weakness, because that is exactly the mother's weakness. I also I am not a person without flaws. My flaws as a human being have also been passed on to that child. I know all about the black nails on the child’s whole body down to the little finger of his right foot. If you try to deceive me with sweet words, it won’t work. Yes. Please be honest with me, I know you have something to hide from me. If Hamlet is really such a sensible and honest boy as you say, I don't have to worry about it, but I don't believe it. I don't think you didn't treat me at all. Tell the truth. You are an innocent child who can't lie. That child does have a hearty side just like what you said just now. I already knew that. What he showed you last night was his side Right. But you still have other things to hide from me. Looking at the child's recent appearance, I can tell that what he thinks in his heart is definitely not as frank as you said just now. It's just that he acted willfully because he was assured that we were relatives. I don't think so. Horatio, how. Tell me the truth. The greater the mother's love, the greater the suspicion. I'm really glad that you defended Hamlet like hell. How can I not be happy? Well, Hamlet is lucky to have you as a good friend, but I am worried about something deeper. I am always alone worried about whether Hamlet will tell me frankly as a mother if he has something on his mind, but Hamlet will only I'm just trying to explain it to me. Hamlet's current difficulty, my mother's, I also want to jump in and solve the matter without being discovered by others. You know? Mothers are very stupid. I have been talking to you just now. You said a lot of things that seem to have bad intentions, but I am definitely not saying that I hate Hamlet. This kind of thing is too natural, and I feel embarrassed to say it, but the person I love most in this world is still that child and Hamlet .I love him so much that I just can't watch that boy be somber by himself. Please, Horatio, help me. You know what's bothering Hamlet."

Huo. "Your Majesty, I don't know." princess. "You still have to say that--" Huo. "No, I'm sorry, I really don't know. I really lost my composure last night. It is true that His Majesty Hamlet seems to have troubles like what His Majesty the Princess said. He seems to want to tell me, but I don't. Wearing a coat, it's freezing cold, there's no way to calm down and listen. I'm such a fool, it's useless. Not only is it useless, but I even did something wrong. Your Majesty, things are not good, I simply came from Weitan I moaned in bed all night last night and couldn’t sleep at all. It’s all my fault, I will definitely try to solve this matter, and I plan to talk to His Royal Highness Hamlet later.” princess. "What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand at all. You're talking so nonsense that others are confused and don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean? You and Hamlet were arguing Is it? If that’s the case, I can be your arbitrator. It’s because you’re arguing over an inexplicable philosophical topic again, so there’s no need for you to worry so much.” Huo. "Your Majesty. We are not children anymore. It is not such a simple matter. I set fire to the stable family. I am Judas. I am worse than Judas. I betrayed everyone I love." princess. "It's ugly for a handsome boy to cry all the time. What do you want from me? You usually play this kind of exaggerated lines like acting like Judas set fire, and then cry and laugh. Game? It's a great game. It's promising. Go down, Horatio. I forgive you today, but please take care of yourself later." King, Queen, Horatio. king. "You are here, I have been looking for you for a long time. Oh, Horatio is also here, that's just right, I was busy when you came to see me in the morning, and I couldn't talk to you slowly, but I also have many things I want to discuss with you .You are not in good spirits, what's wrong?" princess. "Horatio, you can go down first today. What about Judas setting fire, a big boy crying in front of others, he can't help us." king. "Judas set fire? That's new. I think there must be some truth in it. You are just too easy to get angry, princess. Horatio is a decent man. Let's talk about it later." Huo. "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't. I saw the true feelings of Her Majesty the Queen as a mother, and I was talking nonsense in a moment of excitement. Please forgive my ugliness." king. "Horatio, wait a minute, you don't have to leave, just stay here. I have something I want you to hear, too, so come closer and don't say it too loudly. Gertrude, this surprises me. I understand, I finally understand why Hamlet has been so restless recently." princess. "Oh. Sure enough, it's because of our relationship?" Huo. "No, it's all my fault, I will,—" king. "What are you two talking about. Oh, calm down, I'll sit with you too. Horatio, sit down. I want to discuss it with you too. I was shocked when I heard what Polonius said just now. Jump. This is absolutely unexpected. Polonius has already offered me his resignation letter. Anyway, I will accept it for the time being. Princess, don’t be frightened after hearing this. Please calm down and listen to me. This is a nerve-wracking experience. Now, Ophelia, she—” princess. "Ophelia? I see, I doubted that before." king. "Oh, you don't need to stand up, Gertrude, sit down first and think about it. Horatio, you heard it too, this matter has already lost face." Huo. "So that's how it is. Sure enough, there is a mastermind. Ophelia is the daughter of Lady Polonius, she has such a beautiful face, and she actually fabricated such groundless slanders against the peaceful royal family of Hamlet. It's not just Denmark. China, and spread rumors to the University of Wittenberg, you really can’t judge people by their appearance. So what’s the motive? Sure enough, it’s the resentment caused by the failure of the relationship, or——” princess. "Horatio, I think you'd better go down, you don't know anything, you just talk in your sleep here. Ophelia is pregnant." king. "Princess! Please be serious. I haven't said it so blatantly. It's very hard for a man to say it. It's too cruel to say it clearly." princess. "Women are very sensitive to a woman's body. Seeing Ophelia's sullen look, anyone would be so suspicious. It's ridiculous. Horatio, are you awake?" Huo. "I feel like I'm still dreaming." king. "I can't blame you, I also seem to be dreaming. But this matter can't be just sighing and watching, Horatio, I have something to ask you. Aren't you and Hamlet very close, you two You should tell the other party about everything.” Huo. "Yeah, I think we were like that until yesterday, but now I've lost all confidence." king. "You don't have to be so depressed. Think about it calmly, it's actually not such a big surprise. In the past two months, there have been the mourning of the late king, the celebration of my succession, and the wedding. There was a tumultuous confusion, and in the midst of this confusion Hamlet could not bear the grief of the death of the late king alone, so he turned to one person for tender comfort, and that was Ophelia. He may have confused grief with love Yes. I don’t know what Hamlet himself thinks about Ophelia now, but I think it’s almost started to cool down. If this is the case, it’s easy to let Ophelia go to the countryside for a while to avoid it. Yes. Rumors seem to be flying all over the city, and Polonius is also in a panic, but no matter what the rumors are, they will be forgotten by the public in half a year. Ophelia's side Polonius should handle it perfectly. I will help them as much as possible. Let us handle this matter. I will never let Ophelia's life be ruined like this. You can rest assured. In short, would you like to have a good talk with Hamlet? I also hope that you can let him talk about his unsuspecting inner world as much as possible. We will never do anything to hurt them." princess. "Horatio, this job must be very difficult for you. If it was me, I would refuse. This is what Hamlet did. In fact, the responsibility can be left to Hamlet alone, and everything can be solved by the child. The king sees It turns out that I understand Hamlet too far, the heart of the king in the age of debauchery when he was young, and the heart of boys today are still different after all.” king. "Oh, the heart of a man has never changed since ancient times. Hamlet should be completely convinced by me now. Horatio, what do you think?" Huo. "I, I, I have something to ask Your Highness Hamlet." king. "Oh, that's good. You can ask him what's really in his heart, and tell him our thoughts tactfully. I value you very much, so please. Hamlet is going to marry the English princess. This is an early date for both parties. It's settled." princess. "I have a question for Ophelia."
