Walking around in and out of the palace, the monarch and his ministers felt like their throats were smoking from morning to night. Seeing that the sky was darkening, they almost couldn't talk, so Chongzhen felt tired and asked Chang Yu to go out of the palace to busy himself. Bar.
Chang Yu stood up and left, pretending not to see Zhu Cixiang's eyes. When he left the palace, he saw Wang Zhijun outside: "Chang..."
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, let's go and relieve ourselves first." Chang Yu grinned and hurried to the eunuch's duty room next to him. His mouth was dry after drinking from morning to night, but he didn't dare to drink more water, because there was so much in the Qianqing Palace. There is no place for your eunuch to pee, it is for the exclusive use of the emperor, but you can't say, Your Majesty, please wait a moment while I go out to pee...
This is the emperor's favor that is envied in the eyes of others, but in Chang Yu's case, he is suffering. He can't eat enough, can't drink well, and doesn't dare to urinate.
After enjoying themselves, he came out and looked up at the sky. A bright moon was rising. Wang Zhijun hurriedly came over: "Eunuch Chang, our family has to serve the emperor so I won't send you out of the palace. Please tell me a date for our family to go to the Yamen to meet you." .
"No rush, no rush." Chang Yu stretched his body and said, "Our family has been in Beijing these days. It's convenient for the king and the father-in-law."
"Okay, see you later." Wang Zhijun hurriedly returned to Qianqing Palace. Chang Yu looked over there for a while and saw that Zhu Cixiang hadn't come out yet. He guessed that he was still listening to his father's sermons, so he also turned towards Qianqing. Walk outside the door.
There was a wind outlet outside the Qianqing door, and a gust of autumn wind came. Chang Yu quickly wrapped his clothes tightly. When the two eunuchs on duty saw him, they quickly saluted and said hello. Chang Yu casually said: "It's getting dark, please lock up."
"But His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't come out yet." A young eunuch said and glanced secretly not far away. There was a big eunuch standing over there. When Chang Yu glanced over, he hurried over to greet him, but it was Li Jizhou. This time He was the eunuch who had served Zhu Cixiang since he was a child. He was as trusted by Emperor Chongzhen as Gao Qiqian.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't be able to come out for a while. It's so windy outside that Eunuch Li is waiting in Duanben Palace." Chang Yu casually chatted. Li Jizhou chuckled and shook his head: "The only thing we have to do is count the nine cold days. We have to stay here, why should we be afraid of this mere autumn wind.”
The two said a few more words, and Chang Yu said goodbye and walked towards Donghua Gate to prepare to leave the palace. When he arrived near Duanben Palace, several palace maids carrying lanterns walked towards them. Chang Yu didn't pay attention but glanced at them casually. He saw one of them shining brightly. Even though it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, the woman was still eye-catching. This made him feel surprised. He had seen countless beauties since traveling through time, but few were as gorgeous as the woman in front of him. , and he didn’t know that there was such a beautiful lady in the palace. This made him look carefully, but he found that although the woman was beautiful, she was also a little old. It turned out that she was a beautiful young woman, and she was not a palace maid.
Could it be that the beautiful young woman in the palace is one of Emperor Chongzhen's concubines?
Impossible, Chang Yu had seen several of Emperor Chongzhen's concubines. Although there were some who were outstanding in appearance, they were not as good as the woman in front of him, and it was impossible for the concubines to be inside or outside the palace at this time.
Just when I was confused, a palace maid came forward to say hello.
Chang Yu was so powerful that he was feared on the battlefield, but he was very approachable in the palace, especially the palace maids, who never put on airs in front of him. Peace.
Chang Yu responded with a smile. Seeing that the beauty was also observing her, he glanced at the maid next to him. The maid quickly reminded in a low voice: "This is Queen Yi'an."
Ah, Chang Yu's heart was shocked, it turned out to be her, and he hurried forward: "Chen, Chang Yu pays regards to the queen."
I was shocked, no wonder she was so beautiful, this girl was actually Zhang Yan, one of the five most beautiful queens in China!
That's right, she is the most beautiful woman in the late Ming Dynasty who passed through eight levels among five thousand beauties, the queen of Zhu Youxiao and the sister-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen!
Zhang Yan entered the palace and became a queen at the age of fifteen. The emperor's husband indulged in sensuality and ignored the government affairs. Wei Zhongxian blocked the sky and made the court full of smoke. His wife, Zhu Youxiao's nanny, the Hakka family, also made the harem uneasy. Zhang Yan used her own
She paid a price for her efforts to fight against him. She was plotted by the Hakka family to have a miscarriage and could no longer have children. When Zhu Youxiao was dying, the Hakka family made a fake seed and pretended to be the heir of Xi Zong. Zhang Yan firmly opposed it and insisted that King Xin take over.
It is said that Emperor Chongzhen's ascension to the throne was largely due to the push of his sister-in-law Zhang Yan.
Before Zhu Youxiao's death, he entrusted Queen Zhang to his younger brother Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, with the order: "The palace has been with me for seven years, and I have often spoken uprightly and remonstrated, and I have benefited a lot. From now on, when I am young and widowed, I will be kind and compassionate, and I will do good deeds in the palace."
Later, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he felt the kindness of his sister-in-law and respected her very much. He was named Queen Yi'an. Throughout the Chongzhen dynasty, Zhu Youjian treated his sister-in-law with great respect and courtesy. One thing in particular illustrates Zhang Yan's role in the emperor's reign.
As for the status in the palace, as mentioned earlier, the Ming Dynasty had ancestral rules and the harem was not allowed to discuss politics. Once, Empress Zhou said to Emperor Chongzhen that Zhou Yanru was not a good person and his character was too bad... Emperor Chongzhen became angry. Who do you listen to?
That’s right, Empress Zhou said that after listening to her sister-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen lost his temper...
As one of the five famous queens in ancient China, Zhang Yan is recorded in historical records as "slim and plump, with a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like cherry blossoms, a nose like hanging gallbladder, and white teeth..." That's quite a lot.
She is beautiful, but she is just such a beauty. She entered the palace at the age of fifteen and became a widow at the age of twenty-two.
There are many disputes at the door of a humane widow, not to mention a young and beautiful widow. Even if she lives in the deep palace, there will be disputes at her door. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen cannot do such obscene things, but there are obscene things in the palace.
There are quite a few people, such as some eunuchs.
The little eunuch has both the heart and the courage, but the big eunuch is different. For example, Chen Derun, Wei Zhongxian's old subordinate, the chief eunuch, was greedy for Zhang Yan's beauty. Once, while she was getting up and the maids were waiting on her, Chen Derun pretended to make trouble.
Rushing to his dormitory, Zhang Yan complained directly to Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen was furious and demoted Chen Derun directly to the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing to grow vegetables.
Chang Yu has admired Zhang Yan's reputation for a long time, but because he lives in seclusion in the palace, he has never seen her. When he met her by chance today, he couldn't help but sigh, she is really beautiful in her bones but not in her skin. Zhang Yan is now nearly forty years old.
But the MILFs are just right, beating all the young girls.
"You are Chang Yu. I have heard of your name for a long time." Zhang Yan looked at Chang Yu with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, I'm so busy with trivial matters that I didn't meet with the Queen as early as possible." Chang Yu said quickly, turning his eyes away and not daring to look directly at Zhang Yan again. It wasn't that he didn't dare, it was just that he was too rude. Zhang Yan smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?
Trivial matters are all national affairs. I heard that you are very good at fighting, and the emperor also likes you very much."
Chang Yu smiled noncommittally and changed the subject: "The autumn breeze is cool, why didn't the Queen return to the palace?"
"I went out for a walk after dinner and felt that the wind was getting stronger, so I went back to the palace." Zhang Yan said and asked, "Did Eunuch Chang just come out of Qianqing Palace?"
Chang Yu responded: "My lord, please send the queen back to the palace."
He was just being polite. Zhang Yan could have refused, but maybe she was too curious about this magical eunuch. After all, Chang Yu's name has been so popular in the past year or so, especially in the palace, he said it day by day.
There are all kinds of incredible rumors about him. Even Zhang Yan, who lives in a deep palace, is about to get calluses. When she meets him by chance, she naturally wants to see more.
"That's a waste of time for you. They say you are busy with all kinds of business." Zhang Yan smiled lightly, and Chang Yu was filled with emotion. They all say that a beautiful woman's fart tastes delicious. It's true, this smile can steal the soul, and the words in her mouth are full of emotion.
He said: "It doesn't matter."
"Then I'll trouble you." Zhang Yanzhi knew that the eunuch in front of her was extremely powerful, but was completely different from Wei Zhongxian, and had a life-saving benevolence for the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family, so she would not treat Chang Yu as an ordinary eunuch or a slave, no matter what
