Wansui Mountain is the Jingshan Park of later generations. It was a small hill named "Qingshan" in the Yuan Dynasty. When the Forbidden City was built in the Ming Dynasty, coal was piled here, commonly known as "Coal Mountain". During the construction of the Forbidden City, the earth and rocks from the Tongzi River and the South China Sea of Taiye Lake were excavated and accumulated here.
Therefore, because outside the Xuanwu Gate, there must be a mountain to match Xuanwu, so it became a large inner mountain and named Long live Mountain. Fruit trees and flowers were planted under the mountain, which was also called the Back Garden and became the royal garden.
When Chang Yu first traveled through time, he met Princess Kunxing (the Changping Princess of the Qing Dynasty) Zhu Yuluo in the Longevity Mountain. Although there was an imperial garden in the palace, many harem concubines were happy to visit the Longevity Mountain outside the palace, because
This mountain is the highest point in Beijing. You can climb up and see far away, which relieves the sorrow of being in the palace without seeing the light of day.
Of course, this place is also one of the favorites of the eunuchs and maids in the palace. The other place is Rabbit Mountain in Xiyuan, close to the West City Wall. It is said that many eunuchs and maids like to go there for trysts. As for why it is called Rabbit Mountain
Ershan can only be understood.
The weather was not very good and was a bit cold. Chang Yu wore a felt hat and chatted with Fang San. He walked in a low-key manner and met some eunuchs and maids on the way. Most of them did not recognize him. Even if there were those who recognized him, they would stay away when they saw their solemn expressions.
Don't disturb each other.
Although spring has already begun, the severe cold in the north is not abating. The flowers and plants in Long live Mountain are still green and withered at first glance. Several eunuchs and servants are repairing flower branches among the flowers. Looking up, there are many people walking in the mountains.
Standing in front of a cluster of unknown flowers, Chang Yu sniffed and shrugged. Fang San was very happy behind him: "Is it possible that the factory owner can smell the fragrance of flowers?"
Chang Yu chuckled and was about to speak when he suddenly felt the fragrance of flowers. He sniffed hard and looked up to see several women in palace makeup not far away, staring at him from a distance.
Who is this person? Chang Yu was startled at first, and then cursed himself secretly. The woman wearing palace clothes in the palace can naturally only be a woman from Chongzhen, but this person is a bit unfamiliar.
"Concubine Yuan Guifei" Fang San whispered from the side.
Chang Yu walked in quickly, bowed and kowtowed: "Chang Yu has seen the imperial concubine."
Chongzhen worked diligently in government throughout his life and did not fall into womanizing. Except for Empress Zhou, there were only seven concubines in the harem according to historical records. Among them, Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan were the most favored. There was also one who was misrepresented to be the birth mother of Princess Zhu Auao of Kunxing.
Concubine Wang Shun, as for the other two concubines surnamed Wang, as well as the five concubines Liu, Fang, and Shen, they were all mentioned in one sentence, and their names or even titles were not recorded.
It is well known that Concubine Tian Xiuying was favored by Chongzhen. In fact, he also favored Concubine Yuan very much. When he was King Xin, Concubine Yuan was a concubine. After he ascended the throne, he was made a concubine and made her live in Yikun, one of the six east palaces.
Concubine Yuan was extremely doting on her. Moreover, Concubine Yuan was courteous and courteous to Empress Zhou. Their relationship was particularly strong, unlike the plastic sisters like Tian Xiuying and Empress Zhou.
"It turns out he is really the factory supervisor of Dongchang, and he is actually as young as rumored." Concubine Yuan Guifei chuckled and looked at Chang Yu, slightly surprised.
"Not long after I entered the palace, I haven't had the honor to meet the imperial concubine. There are rumors in the palace that the imperial concubine is beautiful, gentle and virtuous. When I meet her today, she is sincere and will not deceive me." Chang Yu saw that Yuan Guifei was about thirty years old and she was very graceful.
, her appearance was also extraordinary, so she praised her with a sweet mouth.
Sure enough, Concubine Yuan Guifei covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this: "It is rumored that the factory director of Dongchang is young and handsome, and has both civil and military skills. I don't know whether the rumors are true or not after seeing you today, but his words are sweet."
Chang Yu bowed and smiled silently, sighing in his heart. Concubine Yuan Guifei was a kind-hearted person. When the city was destroyed, Chongzhen asked her to commit suicide. Later, the rope broke and she fell to the ground and fell into a coma. After waking up after a long time, Chongzhen couldn't bear the humiliation of the thieves and drew his sword.
After being hacked and killed, the imperial concubine fainted and died in a pool of blood. She was later rescued by the Qing emperor and given a home to support her. However, she died of depression due to her severe injuries and worries about the ruin of her country and her family.
"I heard that the little factory governor likes tea. There are some good teas in Yikun Palace. When will the little factory governor be free, would you like to come to Yikun Palace to taste tea?" Concubine Yuan Guifei looked at Chang Yu and suddenly said with a smile.
.
Chang Yu hurriedly saluted: "The imperial concubine invited me, I dare not refuse, I will definitely go when I have time."
Concubine Yuan Guifei nodded slightly, turned around and left with the palace maid. After walking only a few steps, she turned back and glanced at Chang Yu again. She seemed to still have something to say. Perhaps she was really curious about this person. However, due to the chaotic environment and the sensitive identities of the two, they could not
Just have a chat.
"Who in the palace doesn't know that Mr. Chang is very resourceful and resourceful. You can kill enemies by mounting your horse, and you can make money by dismounting your horse. Moreover, the emperor is a celebrity in front of you and all the concubines in the harem want to get closer to you."
Looking at the figure of Concubine Yuan Gui in the distance, Fang San said softly.
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing. How could he not know what Fang San said? But he had no intention of getting involved in any palace fights. That was a woman's business. He was a dignified man who went into battle to kill the enemy and defend his family and country with blood.
, Fang is the true nature of a man.
The more he thought about it, the more ambitious he became, and the more he felt that life in the palace was extremely boring. At this time, he was competing with the intruders on the battlefield, but he was surrounded by this high wall, unable to move or walk.
No, I was really depressed. I couldn't even climb high and scream. It was not a big hat to disturb the tranquility of the imperial city.
Chang Yu was a little bored, so Fang San didn't say anything, but quietly followed him up the Long Live Mountain.
"Are you Eunuch Chang Yu ahead?" As he was walking, he suddenly heard a childish voice. Chang Yu was startled and looked around, only to see two teenage boys standing a few meters away looking at him nervously.
"I have met King Ding, His Highness King Yong." Before Chang Yu could recover, Fang San wanted to kowtow.
It turned out to be two little princes. Chang Yu suddenly realized it and quickly saluted.
Chongzhen's harem was not large, and there were not many children. There are seven recorded sons and six daughters (three of whom died in infancy, and four of whose biological mothers are unrecorded, one of whom was born to Concubine Yuan Guifei).
The seven sons were all born to Empress Zhou (one of three died in infancy) and Concubine Tian (two of four died in infancy). At this time, there were only four left. Prince Zhu Cixiang and Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong were born to Empress Zhou, and the eternal king Zhu
Cizhao and Lingwang Zhu Cihuan were born to Concubine Tian.
Of the two people in front of me, the one who is taller is Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong (that is, the real third prince Zhu. For political purposes in the Qing Dynasty, the fifth son Zhu Cihuan was regarded as the third prince Zhu, and he spread rumors that he died at the age of five). The shorter and chubby one is Yong Wang Zhu.
Ci Zhao.
When Zhu San and Zhu Si saw Chang Yu salute, they were a little confused and at a loss. From the way they greeted Chang Yu, they knew they were a little afraid of this famous eunuch in the palace. Otherwise, ordinary princes would not call eunuchs father-in-law.
They are all called by their first names.
"Brother Huang said that Eunuch Chang, you are invincible with your fists and kicks. No one in the entire palace can beat you, but is it true?" The fat boy Zhu Wu looked up at Chang Yu and swallowed hard: "Brother Huang also said that you have killed in battle.
Is it true that the thief has fought against the intruder?"
Chang Yu laughed loudly when he heard this: "Next time when I return to the palace, how about the young one picks off the robber's dog head and shows it to your two highnesses?"
The two little princes were immediately shocked, and their faces turned pale: "I heard that the intruder has three heads and six arms, but is it true?" Zhu San asked, trembling.
Chang Yu raised his hand and made a beheading gesture: "Ten heads are not as fast as our sword! How about I chop them up and play them as a ball for your two highnesses?"
Ah! The two brothers got excited and ran away. The eunuchs following behind them kept shouting: "Your Highness, slow down, slow down..."
After all, he is still a little kid...
Chang Yu smiled secretly and shook his head, and was about to continue climbing. Suddenly, an eunuch rushed over and shouted: "Eunuch Chang, Eunuch Bingbi wants to see you."
Wang Chengen?
Chang Yu was startled, maybe the emperor wanted to summon him, but he turned around and was denied. If Chongzhen was looking for him, he would have summoned him directly. Why was Wang Chengen looking for him?
