Chapter 56
One
The vague and quiet days passed like this for a few months.
Finally, one day, Dengli felt that this matter could no longer be hidden.
The will of the Tang Emperor has come, and three months later, Princess Chonghui gave Yingyi Khan Dengli as the queen.
For this marriage, Emperor Suzong was embarrassed for a long time.
The crime of rebellion against the servant Gu Huai'en, for the sake of Queen Hui, is already an extrajudicial mercy. There has never been a precedent for such a light punishment. So much so that it caused the dissatisfaction of many courtiers.
"The felony of rebellion, once it is gracious, it will set a precedent, and in the future, it will be impossible to follow if the group rises up and takes effect." These are Guo Ziyi's exact words.
It's not that Su Zong doesn't understand this truth, it's just that his difficulties are also obvious.
Behind the Fugu clan was the increasingly powerful Hui Hui, and he had to throw a rat trap.
At this moment, a piece of news came from the prison that made him even more troubled: Fugu Huaien fell ill and died.
The culprit is dead, and the family members have lost the meaning of imprisonment, and how to deal with it is even more of a dilemma.
Kill, can't kill, can't put it, can't let it go, like a hot potato, stuck to Su Zong's hand, making him upset.
It was at this time that he received a handwritten letter from the Khan of Dengri.
"Inherit Your Majesty's marriage, so that Xiao Shi can ride the dragon and get the jade. Over the years, the two have been in harmony, and the phoenix is flying. Unexpectedly, the sky is jealous and red-faced, and the bare relatives can be sick for a long time, and Fang drives the immortals. A lonely widower, self-harming to the shadow. Reminiscing about the old feelings, it is full of pity. I am glad to hear that my deceased wife has a young sister Ronghui, and she is in the boudoir, and her voice is quite Xiao Xiao's sister, and she is willing to ask for a lady to be the successor. First, to comfort the minister's longing thoughts, and second, to continue the marriage of the good glue, this sincere His Majesty's kindness and righteousness. Neck hope, sit on the desk. Goodbye to Chendenli. ”
Dengli's letter, the words are sad, and the nostalgia for his deceased wife is moving. After Su Zong saw it, he sighed.
It is rare for him to have such lingering feelings of compassion for a generous man, and besides, it is normal for a sister to marry a dead sister to renew his marriage. Perhaps, he didn't want to sever the relationship with Datang because of Rong Lan's death, but he didn't know that he was painstaking and self-fulfilling.
But in this way, it is even more difficult to investigate the sins of the Fugu clan. The new queen of Hui can't marry out of prison. This is too bad for the Khan, and it also loses the Tang Dynasty.
After several considerations, Su Zong finally made a decision that shocked the government and the opposition: "In view of the fact that the first offender is dead, pardon the entire Fugu clan and release the Ning family, whose descendants and descendants will never be allowed to enter the office." Invited by the Yingyi Khan, the second daughter of the Fugu clan was honored and crowned the princess of Chonghui, and returned to the queen with his relatives. ”
As soon as the will came out, the Prime Minister of the Fugu clan celebrated, mixed with joy and sorrow.
The favor of a woman, in exchange for the peace of the whole family, is really happy to fall from the sky.
At the age of fourteen, Rong Hui suddenly experienced the taste of going from hell to heaven.
As the princess of Chonghui who was enshrined by the emperor, as soon as she came out of the prison, she was directly taken into the splendid Daming Palace.
Before leaving, the mother said with tears in her eyes: "Son, in the future, our whole family will count on you." Your sister is dead, but she is a great hero of our family. You must be like my sister and bless the safety of our family. ”
Chonghui said nervously: "However, the child doesn't know how to be a queen of Hui. ”
The mother sighed: "Your sister is very competitive, and it is inevitable to make enemies. You have a gentle personality and don't want to cause trouble. Go now, don't worry about anything, and put the khan first in everything. If it weren't for Khan marrying you, as soon as your sister died, I am afraid that our family would die without a place to be buried. Your sister is hardworking, you have to understand. ”
Chonghui cried and nodded, "The child has written it down." In the future, when the child is not with the mother, the mother should take care of herself. ”
Princess Chonghui boarded the car, and the palace people rushed away.
According to the will, after three months, she will follow the path her sister has walked, replace her sister, and complete the mission of harmony.

It's winter again, and Shu'er's belly is already visibly bulging. Nori's anxiety also deepened day by day.
He carefully cared for her belly, lest anything happen. After experiencing the pain of Rong Lan's two fetal injuries, and even losing his life because of this, he was a little fragile and nervous. For this reason, he even resisted the criticism of his ministers, and even went to Fugui City to sacrifice, such a thing that required the Khan's own efforts, and arranged for Don Mohe to replace it.
He was afraid that if he was negligent, he would lose the woman and child he loved.
However, now, this thorny question must be told to her in person.
This problem, the longer it drags on, the more serious the damage will be to her.
On a warm afternoon, Ying'er, who had just been a toddler, chased Bi'er and staggered all over the house, and Shu'er smiled brightly.
Dengli peeled an orange and handed it to Shu'er, hesitated, and said slowly: "There is something I want to tell you." ”
"What?" Shu'er didn't care at all, took the orange, put it in her mouth, and her face was full of happiness.
"In a few months, there will be another population in the palace." Dengli said with his head down.
"That's nature." Shu'er smiled and looked at her bulging belly: "Wu'er is about to be born." ”
Dengli shook his head and said embarrassedly: "I said, it's not Wu'er. ”
"Who's that? Who's coming? Shu'er asked curiously. Long eyelashes, bright eyes, flashing to the heart of the house.
"It's the new queen of Chang'an." Dengli finally spoke, but he didn't dare to look directly at Shu'er.
A petal of orange fell to the ground in Shu'er's hand, almost suspecting that she had misheard.
"What do you say? The new queen? Shu'er said in a trembling voice. Even Bi'er on the side hugged Ying'er in surprise, and in the room, only Ying'er's vague children's whispers were there.
Dengli said apologetically: "It's Rong Lan's sister Rong Hui." has been canonized as the princess of Chonghui, and will marry in a few days. ”
Shu'er was speechless for a long time, and in her heart, there was the sound of flowers falling. It should be, the sound of heartbreak.
"Why?" For a long time, she heard her voice almost down to the dust.
"Don't be upset. I know, I'm sorry for you. Originally, this position should have been left to you. Dengli said at a loss.
Shu'er endured her disappointment and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Why is it her?" Does Khan like her? Didn't the khan want to give his concubines an understanding? ”
Dengli sighed and said, "That Ronghui, I haven't even seen it, how can I like it?" It was Rong Lan who begged bitterly before he died, and in order to avoid the death penalty of his whole clan, I had to do it. ”
Shu'er's heart sank. Rong Lan is a chess player in the end, and when she is dying, she will not forget the honor of her servant family.
No wonder, Xing'er would say that even if Rong Lan died, her wife Shu would not be able to be the queen.
All this was planned a long time ago, and she was only hidden from her, but she was still stupidly dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Festival.
Shu'er seemed to see Rong Lan sneering proudly: You can't fight me! You're my loser! This harem will always be my servant's family! Even if I die, it won't be your turn! You will always be a concubine!
Shu'er shook her body, and a burst of golden flowers shone in front of her.
Dengli hurriedly supported her and shouted in distress: "How are you? ”
Shu'er smiled miserably: "The concubine is fine." Although the concubines are lowly, they are very strong. ”
Dengli said bitterly: "I swore in front of Rong Lan, so I can't break it." However, don't worry, I won't wronged you. Tomorrow, I will appoint our Ying'er as the crown prince. ”
Shu'er looked at Dengli in surprise, dazed.
Dengli nodded firmly: "Your son is the prince of Hui!" Khan of the future! ”
Shu'er instinctively shook her head and said hurriedly: "No! The voice was hurried and urgent.
Dengli asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" Don't you like Ying'er to be the prince? ”
Shu'er told herself in her heart that she couldn't deceive Dengli anymore. How can Donmohe's flesh and blood be the crown prince? Where will this be placed!
But she said weakly: "Ying'er is still young. ”
Dengli smiled: "Although he is small, he will grow up." ”
Shu'er said hesitantly: "The Khan is still in his prime, why rush for a while? Wait, maybe, Wu'er, will be better than him. ”
Dengli smiled, "What's wrong with you?" Where is there a mother who doesn't want her son to be born? No matter how good Wu'er is, he is also a younger brother, and he cannot encroach on his brother. ”
Shu'er wanted to say something more, but was held in Dengli's arms and said softly: "I owe you, let me compensate you." That's it. I only hope you can understand me, after all, Rong Lan and I have a relationship, and you don't want it, your husband is a ruthless man. ”
Shu'er leaned against Dengli's chest, tears streaming down her face.
She said in her heart, I owe you. I deceived you.
This man, who wants nothing from her, loves her as much as possible, and she has this huge secret in her arms, and what face does she have to fight for the dignity of the queen?
She raised her face and burst into tears: "The concubine has nothing to ask for, as long as the Khan loves him for a lifetime." ”
Three
"Mother," Ying'er was held in Bi'er's arms, spread out her little hands, and her white and tender palms, a small crystal snowflake, disappeared in an instant.
Ying'er murmured anxiously: "Gone? ”
Shu'er smiled and pointed to the sky: "There." ”
Ying'er looked up with a chubby little face and looked curiously at the snowflakes falling slowly in the sky.
"It's so cold in this place! It snows for half of the year. Bi'er grumbled as she walked.
"At this time in Chang'an, it should be the imperial capital full of fallen leaves." Shu'er said.
"This bitter cold ghost place, what better than God!" Bi'er said disdainfully.
Shu'er said lightly: "Good things are coming, if you don't like it, it's better to say less." ”
Bi'er said unconvinced: "Madam, you have a big belly, and you are busy with the layout of Luo Fengyi Palace, the slave doesn't understand, why do you bother to make wedding clothes for her?!" ”
Shu'er smiled bitterly: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, why bother." simply send a whole favor, and it will be easier to get along in the future. ”
Bi'er said: "You are the mother of the prince, who dares to underestimate the harem!" ”
As she was talking, Ying'er suddenly cried in Bi'er's arms. Shu'er said softly: "The prince thinks he's hungry, let's go back to the palace quickly." ”
Bi'er suddenly said, "The Prime Minister is fine." ”
Shu'er was taken aback, turned her face to see that a tall figure was blocking in front of her, it was Don Mohe, who had been absent for more than a year.
Suddenly met, Shu'er was flustered for a while.
Don Mohe was wearing a cloak, and Shu'er vaguely recognized that it was still the same one back then. It's just that things are people, and feelings change.
Don Mohe bowed his head: "Mrs. Shu is fine." ”
Shu'er nodded awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a while.
Or Bi'er broke the deadlock and said with a smile: "My lord, are you going to meet the Khan?" Khan in Fengyi Palace. ”
Don Mohe smiled slightly, turned his face to look at Ying'er: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shu'er smiled: "It's Ying'er." For some reason, she instinctively resisted the title of prince.
Don Mohe stretched out his hand to Ying'er and said with a smile: "Let Uncle hug me." ”
Uncle? Shu'er was stunned.
Ying'er has already taken advantage of the situation from Bi'er's arms to Don Mohe's arms.
Don Mohe said happily: "Look, this child is destined for me, and he doesn't recognize his birth, as soon as I hugged him, he came over." ”
Ying'er playfully tugged at Donmohe's green stubble and giggled happily.
Shu'er scolded: "Don't be naughty! Uncle will be angry. ”
Don Mohe smiled: "It's just a child, where can you be angry?" ”
"Uncle!" Ying'er exclaimed clearly.
Donmohe's heart was sour. This is Shu'er's son, the child of her and Dengli, he is in his arms, in a trance, but he looks like his own son.
Shu'er looked at the big and the small one blankly, thinking stupidly, this is a father and son, but they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they can't recognize each other. Whose fault is it?
Don Mohe held the child in his arms, but his eyes did not leave Shu'er.
The last time I saw her, she held her belly, and now that I see her, she is pregnant again.
The beloved woman has already given birth to children for others, and this woman has become completely and has nothing to do with herself.
The hateful thing is that every time he sees her and thinks of her, his heart still aches faintly.
Where there is love, there is pain.
Shu'er said lightly: "I heard that Mrs. Zixia is very virtuous, and this palace admires her very much. Bring her here when you have time someday, and it's good to get to know her. ”
Don Mohe's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Yes." ”
Shu'er felt a pain in her heart. He has a woman, why, he is sour?
In this situation, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, Shu'er signaled: "Bi'er, it's too cold, let's go back early." If the Prime Minister has something, let's not delay. ”
Bi'er took Ying'er from Don Mohe's hands, and Ying'er was still narcissistic.
"Uncle! Embrace! Ying'er shouted.
Don Mohe said softly: "Uncle will hold you again another day." Be well-behaved. ”
Shu'er put her hand on her waist and said slowly: "It's easy to go, adult." ”
Don Mohe glanced at her deeply, turned his head and left quickly, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart.
Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.
It is better to get along with each other, and from now on, forget about the rivers and lakes.
