Chapter 10: Rong Lan
One
When I got home from the banquet, it was almost evening. In the bedroom, the red candle is shining high, and the love is still in love. Tomorrow is about to separate, Rong Lan reluctantly leaned on Dengli's arms and said: "This time, I will leave my wife at home, I will be lonely, and I don't know how long it will take to come back?" ”
Dengli said softly: "A manly man, how can he linger on his children's personal affairs and delay state affairs? I'm not at home, you can embroider, write, and get used to it slowly. ”
Rong Lan said coquettishly: "There are so many people in the court, why do you want to go?" You are a prince, risking your life, this is not the case in our Datang, which prince is not pampered. ”
Dengli said: "Hui is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, if you don't win fame in life and death, no one will look up to you." When my father Khan was not for his outstanding achievements, he would not have been able to be a heroic khan. Dengli thought for a moment and said: "You Han people have a good saying, princes and generals are better than a kind." ”
Rong Lan disagreed, and said: "Even if you make meritorious contributions again, can you still be a khan?" With your eldest brother Ye Hu as the prince, this time Su Jiangshan, isn't it all his? ”
Dengli smiled slightly and said, "It's man-made. Not really. ”
Rong Lan was taken aback, looked at her husband beside her blankly, and said, "Do you want to be the prince?" ”
Dengli gently covered her mouth, half joking and half serious: "Don't you want to be the queen of Hui in the future?" ”
"Queen?" Rong Lan's heart became hot.
The queen of the world is the supreme glory in every woman's heart. How can Rong Lan resist.
Dengli instructed: "After I leave, you have time to go into the palace for a walk, and it can be seen that Father Khan likes you as a daughter-in-law, and if you have a good relationship with the queen, you will have your own benefits in the future." Got it? ”
Rong Lan nodded in understanding and said, "Don't worry, you must be a good helper for your wife." ”
With infinite love, he carried his newlywed wife to the bed and gently undressed her.
Rong Lan knew that she would not know how long she would be able to see her again, and her beautiful body would be the biggest motivation for her husband's safe return, so she took the initiative to send a gentle kiss. Dengli opened his mouth to take her lips in his mouth, tossing and turning.
Dengli touched Rong Lansi's soft carcass and pressed it intoxicated.
Rong Lan was suddenly immersed in a huge burst of happiness.

The next day, when Rong Lan woke up, her husband was nowhere to be seen.
Rong Lan stroked the pillow of Dengli, and her thoughts began to spread.
What a considerate husband, for fear of waking himself, he refused to wake her up even when he went on the expedition. Imagining the scene of Dengli quietly getting up and dressing, Rong Lan felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. As a woman, to receive such wholehearted love from her husband, she dies without regrets.
Die? No, you can't. I want to be a queen. Rong Lan thought.
The husband's advice is still in my ears, and the first step is to please the Khan.
How do you find a reason to enter the palace? I just saw Khan yesterday, so I can't go again today.
Rong Lan suddenly remembered that yesterday, the queen's eyes when she looked at her were full of anger and dissatisfaction. That's for Shu'er, Rong Lan knows.
After all, they are sisters, even if they work together now, Princess Ningguo still remembers Shu'er's royal identity.
Although she was also given the title of county lord, and now she is still the princess of Dengli, in the eyes of the queen, she is still not as good as the lowly concubine Shu'er.
Rong Lan was indignant, but her husband's words made her have to calm down.
What is the use of the battle of will, one day I will be the hostess of Hui, and I am afraid that there will be no high-spirited time?
Thinking of this, Rong Lan had an idea. Yesterday Shu'er was wronged, which made the queen displeased, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and today I went to see Shu'er, first, to show that I care about Shu'er, and second, I can also let the queen avoid misunderstanding of herself, why not.
After making up her mind, Rong Lan instructed the maid to make up.
As soon as Rong Lan entered the palace gate, the waiter hurriedly greeted her with a smile and said, "Say hello to the princess." ”
Rong Lan said gently: "I heard that Mrs. Shu is sick, I want to go and see her, I don't know her in the palace, can I bother to lead the way?" ”
The waiter hurriedly said, "Mrs. Shu lives in the Green Garden, and the villain is willing to lead the way for the princess." ”
Rong Lan took the maid Xing'er and followed behind the waiter, and after a short time, she came to the gate of the green garden.
The so-called doorway, in fact, there is no gate, only an arched doorway, on which the word green garden is written. Around the arch, there is a woody fragrance, although the flowers have gone, but the leaves still exude a rich fragrance.
The waiter said, "Inside is Mrs. Shu's residence." It's inconvenient for the villain to go in, so the princess can do it herself. ”
Rong Lan said: "Thank you for your hard work. ”
The maid Xing'er took out a silver bean, put it in the waiter's hand, and said, "The princess will reward you with tea." ”
The waiter was delighted.

When Shu'er took Qingmei out, Qingmei had completely lost the brilliance of youth. Although it is only a few days, the loss of freedom is enough to make people despair and lose hope.
Shu'er hugged Qingmei and cried, comforting her: "Okay, didn't Khan let you out?" Don't cry anymore. ”
Qingmei choked up and said, "Finally, Khan still remembers me." ”
The guard said, "If it weren't for Mrs. Shu's intercession for you, you don't know how long you would have been imprisoned." Don't hurry up and thank Mrs. Shu. ”
Qingmei wiped away her tears and said, "You begged him to let me go?" Did he have any trouble for you? ”
Shu'er smiled: "Khan thought of your goodness, and as soon as I said it, he agreed." The queen was also very cheerful. Even I didn't expect it to go this way. ”
Qingmei was terrified for the rest of her life, crying and saying, "I know, Miss will definitely save me." ”
Shu'er comforted her with kind words, took Qingmei back to the green garden, and after she took a bath and helped her wipe some dredging medicine, Qingmei gradually calmed down, and was frightened for several days, and finally could sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Shu'er was drinking tea when she heard a few knocks outside the door.
Who knocked on the door so early? No one comes to this green garden on weekdays.
Shu'er opened the door and found Rong Lan standing at the door with a smile.
Shu'er was a little surprised, and said lightly: "Why are you?" ”
Rong Lan said: "I came to see you, what, don't you welcome me?" ”
Shu'er said: "Don't dare to be. Shu'er is now suffering from a stubborn disease, isn't the princess afraid of infection? ”
Rong Lan said with a smile: "It turns out that Mrs. still remembers my nonsense yesterday. Rong Lan can't make amends here, and I hope that Mrs. won't blame her. ”
Seeing her like this, Shu'er didn't say anything, so she invited her to come in and sit down, and poured her a cup of tea with her own hands.
Rong Lan looked around and said curtly, "Is Qingmei okay?" ”
Shu'er said: "Princess Cheng cares, and it's okay." Shu'er knew that Rong Lan had bad intentions, and between her words, she was respectful and distant.
Rong Lan looked at her today, she couldn't say how happy she was, and she had a caring look on her face, and said regretfully: "The three of us married into the Hui Dynasty together, but I didn't expect that only you had ups and downs, but you were riddled with demons, which is regrettable." ”
Shu'er said calmly: "Shu'er doesn't feel tribulation, and she is at peace with what she encounters, which is Shu'er's always temperament." ”
Rong Lan said: "It's rare that Mrs. is weak and rich, and my generation is ashamed of herself. ”
Shu'er said: "I'm not as good as the palace here, only a cup of tea to entertain guests, if the princess has nothing to do, I won't stay." ”
Rong Lan smiled awkwardly: "I came to see Madame with kindness, is Madam going to issue an eviction order?" ”
Shu'er took a sip of tea and said, "If the princess thinks so, it's okay." ”
Rong Lan's anger rose suddenly, she stood up, then sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "I heard that Madame's body is incomplete and full of red rashes, so I specially brought some medicinal herbs, hoping to benefit Madame." As soon as Rong Lan signaled, the maid immediately placed a delicate box on the table.
Rong Lan said sincerely: "It is full of good medicines for the treatment of the skin, it is a little bit of my heart, and I hope that Mrs. will not give up." ”
Shu'er looked at the box and felt that it was difficult to refuse, so she said, "Thank you so much princess." ”
Rong Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb Madame's rest." I'll come back when I have time to visit later. ”
When Rong Lan got up to say goodbye, she accidentally glanced at it and saw a danqing hanging on the wall. The peony of the national color and fragrance is enchanting and rich, and there are two fluttering butterflies flying among the flowers, which are lifelike. What attracted her was not this peony picture, but a few lines of words on the picture: The world says that I love Chang'an, but in fact, I only love Chang'an.
Under that painting, there are the words "Li Shu". Needless to say, it is Shu'er's handiwork.
Rong Lan smiled and walked out of the room, thinking to herself:
I only love Chang'an, who is this "so"?
Shu'er sent it to the door.
Shu'er looked at Rong Lan's attentive and concerned appearance, and wondered in her heart, could it be that she had always blamed Rong Lan wrongly? Otherwise, what is she looking at herself for like this? In her eyes, is it still worth stammering like this?

Rong Lan left the Green Park and went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace instead.
Xing'er couldn't help but say: "The slave maid really can't see why the princess is so flattering to a nameless, shareless, and unfavored lady?" The slave looked at her and was very cold to the princess. ”
Rong Lan smiled faintly and said, "What do you know, so that you can show my generosity." It doesn't matter if she likes it or not, the important thing is that the queen likes it. ”
Apricot seems to have understood.
The two of them went one after the other, and from a distance, they saw the queen's bedroom in front of them.
When he was about to approach, he suddenly saw a wandering man standing at the corner in front of the palace gate, who lowered his head and seemed to be thoughtful. Rong Lan felt strange, that person, vaguely, seemed to be Prince Ye Hu.
Prince, what is he doing here? It seems that there is something difficult to decide.
The man seemed to have finally made up his mind, turned the corner, and walked briskly up the steps.
The maid stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to see the queen?" You wait a minute, let the slave and the maid be clear. ”
Ye Hu hesitated for a moment and nodded. The maid turned and went in.
Rong Lan stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, I thought I had seen the wrong person." ”
Ye Hu was taken aback and said, "Why is my brother-in-law here?" ”
Rong Lan smiled: "I'm also here to meet the queen." Why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came to say goodbye? ”
Ye Hu was a little flustered, lovesick and unbearable, and finally found an opportunity to come to see the queen, but who knew that he ran into his brother and daughter-in-law.
Ye Hu said perfunctorily: "Ah, it's nothing, since the younger brother-in-law is here, there must be something to say to the queen, so it's inconvenient for me to bother, so I won't go." After speaking, he didn't care about etiquette and hurried away.
Rong Lan was a little inexplicable. What a strange prince. After hesitating for a long time, he left again.
The maid came out, disappeared the prince, looked around, and said strangely, "Why is it gone?" The queen summoned her. ”
Rong Lan said: "The prince may have something to do temporarily, and he has already left. I just happened to greet the Queen, so I don't have to tell you any more. ”
The maid smiled and said, "The princess and daughter, naturally there is no need to report." ”
Rong Lan came in and saw Princess Ning Guo smiling as if she was waiting for something.
Seeing Rong Lan, Princess Ning Guo was slightly stunned, then quickly regained her smile and said, "It turned out to be you." ”
The princess's eyes crossed over to Rong Lan and looked outside.
The maid said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already left. I don't know what's going on. ”
Princess Ning nodded nonchalantly and said, "Ah, maybe it's a matter of returning the Khan to me." I knew in my heart that he must have met Rong Lan, so he had to leave.
Princess Ningguo looked at Rong Lan lazily and said, "Is there something wrong?" "Between his expressions, he was extremely tired.
Rong Lan invited An and said: "Mrs. Shu has been sick for a long time, and she has not visited. ”
Princess Ning Guo was slightly surprised, looking at Rong Lan's eyes, as if she was distinguishing the truth from the falsehood of what she said. Rong Lan said calmly: "Madame was very happy to see me visiting, and talked to me for a while. ”
Princess Ning Guo seemed to be very concerned: "Then what did she tell you?" ”
Rong Lan saw that the princess was very concerned, and she was overjoyed, and thought, sure enough, she had a deep sisterhood.
Rong Lan said: "It's just talking about the old times or something." ”
Princess Ning Guo said lightly: "You don't treat Shu'er very well on weekdays, why do you want to go to see her?" Didn't you still dislike her for being sick yesterday? ”
Rong Lan said with a smile: "I said the wrong thing yesterday, and I regret it after I go back, we are all women of the Tang Dynasty, where can we still be divided?" Fortunately, Mrs. Shu did not blame. ”
Princess Ning Guo said: "It's naturally good that you can think like this." No matter how bad she is, she is also the sister of the golden branches and jade leaves of the main palace, do you understand? Don't forget who you are. ”
Rong Lan looked at the princess's gradually serious eyes, sweat broke out all of a sudden, and hurriedly admitted: "Yes, yes." The concubine body knows. ”
Princess Ningguo lazily dragged her long voice and said, "Okay, you can step aside." ”
Rong Lan was secretly lucky, fortunately she remedied it in time, otherwise, if she offended the queen, she would have suffered a lot.
Princess Ningguo watched Rong Lan go away, and scolded in her heart, it was all this unlucky Rong Lan, it was a bad thing, otherwise, at this time, Ye Hu was by her side.
What the hell is he here to do? Thinking of that day, he attached it to his ear and said softly, Khan is dead, you are my woman, how gentle and beautiful, his hand, touching his chest, how ecstatic.
Princess Ning Guo knew that this Ye Hu was already a worm in the palm of her hand, and she could no longer climb into the palm of her hand.
Everything is ready, and there is only one time missing.
Princess Ning Guo smiled proudly, thinking to herself, as long as I have a crush on the man, who can resist my charm?
