Chapter 361: Yichun Chengxin

Qichun Garden is located south of the Old Summer Palace and Changchun Garden. It was built in the Qianlong period and was established during the Jiaqing period. It first had 30 scenic spots in Qichun Garden, and then it was newly formed in more than 20 scenic spots. The more famous scenic spots are Fuchun Hall, Qingxia Zhai, Hanqiu Hall, Shengdong Room, Siyi Bookstore, Chunze Zhai, Weizao Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Bixiang Hall, Zhuxiang Garden, Xiyu Mountain House, Yanyu Tower, Hanhui Tower, Chengxin Hall, Changhe Hall, Zhanqingxuan, Zhaoliangjie, Lingxu Pavilion and other places.

It was Xingzhen's first time to come to Qichun Garden. Although it was already early winter, the scenery here was still the same. I saw the water scenery here, and there were scenery in the south of the Yangtze River everywhere. Several small gardens were separated by winding waterways, hidden and exposed, just like Chinese poetry and paintings, and full of charm.

At the beginning of the month, Xingzhen received the reward from Xianfeng and allowed her to live in Qichun Garden to raise her baby. The day was just right, and Chu Xiu Palace and others moved Xingzhen's phoenix carriage together to live. Swimming in this royal garden, Xingzhen felt a little emotional in her heart. If it weren't for a trip, how could she have truly seen such a beautiful royal garden scenery? But when she thought that in the time and space of her previous life, these scenery had long been destroyed by the British and French coalition forces and the Eight-Nation Alliance, she felt very sad.

It was noon at this time, and the warm sunshine was shining, just right for a walk. Xingzhen took Andhai and Kangqi to the outside of Chengxin Hall on Nanhu Island on Qichunyuan West Road for a walk and bask in the sun. Along the way, Xingzhen took out the roll of paper in her hand from time to time to look at it, with a faint sadness hanging between her eyebrows and eyes.

This note was sent to Andei by Ronglu, who asked someone to bring it to the palace. It wrote a paragraph in Chinese Pinyin, but it means that Ronglu had arranged it and wanted to see him. Ronglu was careful. He was afraid that only he and he could understand the things written in Chinese Pinyin in this world. This thing seems to be a foreign language, but foreigners can't understand it. Even if it is obtained by those who are interested, they cannot understand the meaning.

But why did Ronglu suddenly want to see him? Didn’t he help Zeng Guofan to train the Hunan Army? Several months ago, Xingzhen vaguely found out something that was deliberately neglected before, in addition to the evil of the Sacred Heart when he was serving the bed for the first time, there were also people who interfered with it. Xingzhen initially thought it was done by people in the palace, but later she found out that it was done by people outside the palace, and this person seemed to be Ronglu.

Xingzhen couldn't help but smile miserably when she thought about this, thinking that he had done so many things just to make Xianfeng forget himself and then rescue him from the palace, but he didn't know that before meeting Ronglu, he was no longer in a perfect state. She had to find all the humiliation she suffered, so she could not leave the palace with Ronglu.

Xingzhen looked back at An Dehai who was following with his head down, and asked lightly: "How is the emperor doing recently?"

An Dehai whispered: "The emperor has recently become fascinated by Prince Zheng and Su Shun. These Han girls each have their own unique skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. They are all in one place. The four most outstanding girls. The emperor gave them names. They are Peony Spring, Apricot Flower Spring, Wulin Spring, and Haitang Spring, and they are called the Four Spring Queen."

Xingzhen smiled coldly and said, "This must be Su Laoliu's idea. He wants to offer a few beauties to win the emperor's favor, so that he can take a step forward." She said this, but she thought to herself in her heart. Xianfeng, who had only been emperor for ten years in the end, died at the age of thirty, because of the weakness of alcohol and sex. Xianfeng often drinks deer blood for tonics for beauty. Drinking too much of this tonic will kill people. It is best for Xianfeng to die. As long as the only heir to the throne in her belly is born, Xianfeng will not be of much use. However, Xianfeng should hold on for a few years, and it is not too late to die after her power is more stable.

Andhai continued to whisper: "I heard that the emperor has recently started to use Fushou cream. The queen even quarreled with the emperor about this matter. I heard that he also alarmed the imperial concubine Kang Ci."

Xingzhen said, "Fu Shou Paste is also opium." Xianfeng didn't find it strange to suck Fu Shou Paste. Historically, it was recorded that Xianfeng did suck opium to anesthetize himself, but that was when the Taiping Army was so powerful that the foreigners launched the Second Opium War. At that time, Xianfeng could only rely on opium to anesthet for sucking himself. At this time, Xianfeng began to suck opium, which only showed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was much stronger than history, which made Xianfeng feel discouraged, so he simply broke his can and started to suck opium as a spiritual sustenance.

The imperial concubine Kangci was the adoptive mother of Xianfeng, the biological mother of Prince Gong Yixin, and the daughter of Hua Lianga, the minister of the Ministry of Justice. She was originally from the left and right wings of Korqin, Mongolia. After her death, she carried the flag into the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner. She was the concubine of Emperor Daoguang of Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty. Although she had not become the queen in front of her, she was posthumously named by Emperor Xianfeng after her death, becoming the only queen in the history of the Qing Dynasty. She was neither the legitimate concubine of the previous emperor nor the biological mother of the emperor of this dynasty. Now this imperial concubine is also the only remaining concubine in the palace. Xianfeng and Prince Gong are both very filial to this elder, and Xingzhen often went to pay her respects before. Because Xingzhen was well-behaved, she was also loved by the imperial concubine.

Xingzhen often goes to see the imperial concubine and has another meaning. She often meets Prince Gong who comes to pay tribute to her mother. Xingzhen's brother-in-law is actually very powerful. His relationship in history is also his, so Cixi successfully settled the eight ministers including Sushun. Therefore, Xingzhen gradually became familiar with Prince Gong with the imperial concubine. Later generations often talk about TV series that Cixi and Yixin had a long-standing affair, which was really nonsense. At least Xingzhen knew that she only knew Yixin in the palace, and the two of them didn't know each other before.

When An Dehai talked about the imperial concubine, Xingzhen asked, "What is Prince Gong doing recently?"

An Dehai replied: "I heard that the emperor intended to be the position of the head of the military minister recently, but I heard that Prince Zheng and Sushun had put some eye drops and failed to succeed. They only became the military minister and added the title of the Chief Huangqi Chief."

Xingzhen smiled faintly and said, "Does Prince Gong know that it was the bad man from Prince Zheng and Su Shun?"

Andhai replied: "It seems that he already knows it. Prince Gong is still very angry."

Xingzhen nodded, not saying anything, thinking in her mind that this was a good opportunity. If she could unite with Prince Gong through this matter, she would be more confident in reaching the top in the future.

Kang Qi couldn't help but whisper, "Master, the emperor is afraid of sucking Fushou cream to damage the dragon body. When he sees the emperor, it's better to persuade him a few words."

Xingzhen snorted and said lightly: "The queen started arguing with the emperor just by persuading the emperor. Do you also want this palace to touch this brow? Do less things you don't miss, this is what Aunt Kang teaches me."

Kang Qi sighed lightly. This little master is no longer the innocent little girl back then. Now everything she does is extremely purposeful. As she said, she will not do anything that is not good.

The three of them walked along with a few palace maids and eunuchs. As they were talking, they came to the outside of Chengxin Hall on Nanhu Island on Qichunyuan West Road. Xingzhen had already made an appointment with Ronglu to meet here. Although this royal garden is also a forbidden area for the royal garden, it is always easier to enter and exit than the Forbidden City. How many craftsmen, gardeners, and artists are needed to maintain and serve the huge garden. If you make an appointment to meet here, Xingzhen believes that Ronglu must have a way to come in.

Xingzhen suddenly said, "I'm tired of walking, so I'll go inside to rest for a while and use some snacks?"

An Dehai responded quickly and asked Xingzhen to slowly walk inside. In this garden, Xingzhen came here to raise her baby. Because of Xianfeng's favor, she could walk around. Every time she went, there was a eunuch in charge who served her diligently.

When he entered Chengxin Hall, he saw the quiet house with the words Yunyi Hall written on it. Xingzhen went inside to rest. The eunuch in charge here ordered someone to serve tea.

After a while, a few eunuchs came in line with various refreshments. When they entered, an old eunuch greeted them and assigned the eunuchs' positions one by one. When the last one was the last one, the old eunuch hesitated for a while and said strangely: "Why is there one more? There are obviously six."

The eunuch said softly: "It's seven, father-in-law, you remember it wrong." The old eunuch was a little confused and patted his forehead and said: "Did I remember it wrong? Well, there are only seven, and the movements are more flexible. The nobleman in the house is a very favored person in front of the emperor. If there is a slight mistake, be careful of your life." The eunuch nodded and stepped into the house.

After these eunuchs presented their refreshments, Xingzhen recognized the last eunuch who was dressed by Ronglu at a glance, and couldn't help but smile. She picked up a few refreshments and ate them. Xingzhen suddenly pointed at the last eunuch and said, "I am a little tired. Everyone else should go down. This eunuch looks very clever, so she stays to serve." Then she said to An Dehai and Kangqi: "You go down too, don't you, please tell me not to come in and disturb me!"

Kang Qi and Andehai responded, and went down with other palace maids and eunuchs. But Kang Qi was a little surprised. Why did the master suddenly become interested in a little eunuch? He looked over and suddenly felt that the little eunuch was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

After everyone left, Xingzhen looked up and saw Ronglu's face turned pale and his fists were tightly pinched, but tears were flowing in his eyes.

Xingzhen sat on the soft chair, looked at his miserable expression, sighed and said lightly: "Why are you doing this?"

Ronglu took a deep breath before muttering, "Why can't you wait a little longer, I will definitely be able to take you out of the palace."

Xingzhen smiled bitterly and said lightly: "If you had said to me before my first bedtime, I would have gone out of the palace with you, but when we first met, I was already bullied. Song Qingyun was already dead at that time. All that lives is Yehenara Xingzhen who wants to take revenge!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
