Chen Yuanyuan

Chen Yuanyuan
Author: Huang Quan The moon slanted westward, its silver light scattering everywhere. Along the winding path, Wu Chunsheng, clutching a small wine jar, walked with faltering steps, the slanting moon casting a long shadow.
Wu Chunsheng sipped his wine, muttering, "...It's truly unbelievable! I've lost for three days straight...even my wife is so angry she's gone back to her parents' house..." The image of Liu Bao's wickedness flashed through his mind: "...Wu Chunsheng! I'll give you two more days...to gather five hundred taels of silver...otherwise...heh! heh! heh!..."
Wu Chunsheng shuddered, thinking, "...Liu Bao of this money exchange is no saint..." Wu Chunsheng regretted it a little: "...I really shouldn't have borrowed money from him to try and recoup my losses...borrowed two hundred, owed back five hundred...two days to repay...alas!...my life is in danger..." Lost
in thought, Wu Chunsheng reached his door, hesitated for a long time, finally sighed, and pushed open the door. As Wu Chunsheng passed the second room, he suddenly stopped, tilting his head back thoughtfully. After a long while, Wu Chunsheng, as if making a decision, finished the last sip of his wine, casually wiped his lips, and gently pushed open the door.
He tiptoed to the bedside, looking at the little girl sleeping soundly on her back. The girl was about ten years old, her childlike face tinged with a touch of allure. She had arched eyebrows, upturned eyelashes, a straight nose, delicate cheeks, and a hint of rosy lips. Her skin was snow-white, and her figure slender. One could imagine that this little girl would grow up to be a stunning beauty.
Wu Chunsheng's gaze fell on the little girl's chest, noticing her still-developing, slightly protruding breasts. "Gulp!" Wu Chunsheng swallowed hard, reaching out a slightly trembling hand to touch the little girl's chest. Even through her clothes, Wu Chunsheng could feel the softness and elasticity of her small breasts, and a primal lust arose within him, his penis immediately hardening.
"Ah!..." The little girl was asleep...? Long felt her breasts being kneaded. Opening her eyes, she immediately shrank back into the corner of the bed, both frightened and ashamed, stammering, "...Aunt...Uncle...what are you doing..."
Wu Chunsheng paused slightly, then revealed a shameless, lewd grin: "...Yuanyuan, don't be afraid!...Come on! Let your uncle give you a good rub..." Wu Chunsheng climbed onto the bed, approaching Chen Yuanyuan, his smile concealing a knife, saying, "...Come on! Don't hide..."
Chen Yuanyuan burst into tears, pleading, "No...Uncle...don't come any closer..." She tried to push him away, kicking her legs wildly.
Ignoring Chen Yuanyuan's resistance, Wu Chunsheng found an opening and tightly embraced her, pressing her onto the bed, rolling over and pinning her down, urgently saying, "Come on! Let your uncle give you a rub..." Before he could finish, he showered Chen Yuanyuan with kisses.
Chen Yuanyuan struggled violently, trying to break free from her uncle's clutches. However, Chen Yuanyuan did not escape; instead, her twisting and rubbing only fueled Wu Chunsheng's lust.
"Hiss!..." Chen Yuanyuan's clothes were roughly torn by Wu Chunsheng. "Swish!..." As pieces of cloth fell to the ground, Chen Yuanyuan's snow-white skin was gradually revealed.
"...No...no..." Chen Yuanyuan's cries grew increasingly hoarse, her struggles weaker and weaker. A sorrowful aura enveloped her, making her feel as if she too had been torn to pieces and scattered on the ground.
Chen Yuanyuan's entire vulva was now exposed. The delta region of her vagina only had sparse, light-colored pubic hair, clearly not yet fully developed. Two pink labia covered the vaginal opening, and when opened, pink clitoris could be seen. The entire vulva was a pinkish virgin color.
Wu Chunsheng's hands and lips were busy on Chen Yuanyuan's body: his lips kissed and rubbed her chest, lower abdomen, and thighs... One hand kneaded Chen Yuanyuan's slightly protruding breasts, while the other scratched her sparsely haired vulva.
Chen Yuanyuan felt no pleasure or excitement; she simply closed her eyes, letting tears flow freely. Although her eyes were closed, she could still clearly feel her uncle's hungry gaze upon her body. The thought of her naked body being so thoroughly seen and touched by her uncle filled her with shame. Her mind was filled only with grief, fear, helplessness, resentment, and despair...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Chen Yuanyuan was born in Jiangnan during the late Ming Dynasty. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by her aunt, but her uncle's gambling and drinking led to the family's decline. At the age of ten, Chen Yuanyuan was raped by her uncle and sold into a brothel to pay off gambling debts. From then on, she lived a life of prostitution, serving customers like a courtesan.
As an unknown "child prostitute," Chen Yuanyuan diligently learned local opera tunes and frequently sought advice from veteran folk artists. Her music instructors took pity on her and carefully guided her.
Chen Yuanyuan understood the environment of the time; she knew that in the brothels of Jiangnan during the late Ming Dynasty, one could not become a famous courtesan without becoming a skilled actress. Therefore, those in the brothel valued performances highly. Furthermore, Chen Yuanyuan hoped to use her social connections to meet some prominent figures and leave her profession, as the lives of feudal officials in the late Ming Dynasty were often romanticized, and many indulged in singing, dancing, and prostitution.
After entering the brothel, Chen Yuanyuan diligently studied, learned to read and write, and learned opera and singing. She later became a skilled lyricist, leaving behind collections such as "Wanfen Collection" and "Wuyu Lyrics," most of which are poignant and sorrowful.
At the age of eighteen, Chen Yuanyuan performed in opera in Suzhou, calling herself "Yufeng Actress Chen Yuanyuan." She played the role of a courtesan, described as "light and graceful, with delicate and charming speech." Her beauty, singing, and dancing skills quickly made her a popular courtesan, and her fame spread far and wide. Mao Pijiang
, a renowned scholar from Jiangnan and one of the famous "Four Gentlemen of Jiangnan," first met Chen Yuanyuan in the fourteenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign. The young and melancholic Mao Pijiang was immediately captivated by her and intended to bring her back to live a respectable life. On the eve of her departure for the imperial examinations in Beijing, Chen Yuanyuan completely entrusted herself to Mao Pijiang.
On the eve of their parting... After a passionate kiss, Chen Yuanyuan said to Mao Pijiang, "I am a woman of the night, a withered flower, yet I have been fortunate enough to receive your favor, and I will repay you with my whole life." Tears welled in her
eyes as she spoke. Mao Pijiang tenderly licked away the tears on Chen Yuanyuan's face, saying gently, "Yuanyuan! Don't say that. Although fate is cruel and beauty is often envied, my feelings for you are sincere. I swear to heaven..." Chen Yuanyuan quickly sealed Mao Pijiang's lips with hers, preventing him from continuing.
Mao Pijiang held Chen Yuanyuan tightly, his tongue swirling in her mouth, their two nimble, moist tongues intertwining. Mao Pijiang felt the pulsating heat and vibrations emanating from Chen Yuanyuan's full, soft breasts, gradually igniting a burning desire within him.
Although he had caressed and kissed Chen Yuanyuan's round, elastic breasts many times before, he still couldn't bear to part with them. They rolled and writhed naked on the large bed, caressing and licking each other.
Chen Yuanyuan's soft fingers gently grasped Mao Pijiang's penis, stroking it tenderly and slowly, her cherry-red lips kissing his chest before moving downwards, past his lower abdomen. Chen Yuanyuan slightly raised her rosy face, glanced at Mao Pijiang's intoxicated expression, and revealed a smug smile. She then opened her mouth and took the glans of his penis into her mouth, gently licking its hard, shiny surface. Her soft tongue gently licked it, yet Mao Pijiang's arousal was like a volcano about to erupt.
Mao Pijiang watched Chen Yuanyuan's tongue swirling around the glans, feeling an indescribable stimulation and emotion. Although Chen Yuanyuan hadn't yet taken the entire shaft into her mouth, Mao Pijiang was already very satisfied, because for someone with her proud and aloof demeanor to be so submissive filled him with immense tenderness and affection.
Chen Yuanyuan opened her small mouth and slowly took Mao Pijiang's penis into it. The sensation was so wonderful that Mao Pijiang couldn't help but groan, using the groan to release his inner excitement.
Chen Yuanyuan gently licked and kissed it, finally swallowing it completely. Mao Pijiang felt extremely excited, thrusting his waist and making his penis move in and out of Chen Yuanyuan's mouth. Chen Yuanyuan just held and sucked his penis tightly, her hands constantly stroking Mao Pijiang's scrotum.
The stimulation was so intense that Mao Pijiang couldn't control himself, feeling a tingling sensation in his penis that made him about to ejaculate! "...Yuanyuan, I..."
…“Mao Pijiang called out urgently, trying to alert Chen Yuanyuan and attempting to move his penis away. He thought that if he didn't move, Chen Yuanyuan would definitely swallow his ejaculated fluid.
But Chen Yuanyuan not only didn't move away, she swallowed and spit even more vigorously, her hands tightly gripping Mao Pijiang's buttocks. Mao Pijiang could no longer endure it. With a long cry, “Ah…” and a shuddering of his penis, gushes of hot fluid shot out, flowing into her throat.
“Glug!” Chen Yuanyuan completely received it. She continued sucking until Mao Pijiang's excited glans stopped throbbing, then she spat out his penis and carefully licked it.
Mao Pijiang seemed to have experienced the greatest pleasure and emotion of his life, and said with deep feeling, “…Yuanyuan, I love you, I will always love you!” ...
With a satisfied and happy smile, Chen Yuanyuan laid Mao Pijiang down on the bed, wiping his penis with a warm towel, then nestled against his arm like a little bird. Mao Pijiang gently kissed Chen Yuanyuan's forehead, stroking her long, beautiful hair to express his love and gratitude.
Chen Yuanyuan's thighs gently rubbed against Mao Pijiang's body, her jade-like hands lightly caressing his chest, making Mao Pijiang unable to resist embracing and kissing her again. Chen Yuanyuan passionately returned his kiss. Chen Yuanyuan's tongue teased in Mao Pijiang's mouth, and Mao Pijiang eagerly sucked her fragrant nectar. Soon, Mao Pijiang's limp penis hardened again, seemingly even hotter and more erect than before.
Chen Yuanyuan felt the stirring between Mao Pijiang's legs and moaned sweetly, "Oh!" "You...you're so naughty..."
Chen Yuanyuan shyly pushed Mao Pijiang away and turned away gently. This feeling of feigned resistance was incredibly alluring, driving Mao Pijiang even more frenzied and excited.
Mao Pijiang pounced on Chen Yuanyuan, pressing his hard penis tightly against her soft buttocks, his hands kneading her soft and elastic breasts. Only then did Mao Pijiang realize that Chen Yuanyuan's buttocks were already soaked with her juices, and the clitoris on her breasts were hard and hot.
Mao Pijiang gently turned Chen Yuanyuan's body over, and in one swift motion, he was on top of her. Mao Pijiang moved his lower body, rubbing against Chen Yuanyuan's smooth skin, while his lips kissed her eyes, her eyelashes, her nose, and his hands caressed her breasts.
Chen Yuanyuan Her breathing quickened, and as Mao Pijiang's hand began to probe her private parts, she moaned rhythmically, her tongue licking her dry, hot lips. When Mao Pijiang inserted his fingers into her slippery vagina, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her whole body trembling again.
Mao Pijiang admired her expression of heightened desire, slowly and deliberately teasing her. Mao Pijiang didn't intend to tease Chen Yuanyuan; he was simply filled with tender affection. But this passionate caress made Chen Yuanyuan feel a surge of lust, an unbearable itch, and she kept moaning and writhing, occasionally thrusting her lower limbs to cooperate with Mao Pijiang's probing fingers.
Mao Pijiang withdrew his fingers, and a wetness gushed from her vaginal opening. Chen Yuanyuan immediately felt a void in her vagina, "Mmm!" With a "whoosh," she reached out and grabbed Mao Pijiang's penis, pressing it against the entrance of her vagina. Mao Pijiang seemed to hear Chen Yuanyuan's indistinct murmurs: "...I want...I want..."
Mao Pijiang could no longer restrain himself; a surge of lust rushed to his head. He took a deep breath, then thrust his hips forward, "Swoosh!" His penis slid in, penetrating deep into Chen Yuanyuan's womb.
"Ah!" "Chen Yuanyuan let out a satisfied, wanton moan, her brows furrowing, her cherry lips parted slightly, and her hands tightly gripped Mao Pijiang's buttocks. Chen Yuanyuan seemed to have found a source of fulfillment in the edge of emptiness and helplessness, a complete sense of fulfillment that made her both happy and satisfied.
Mao Pijiang simply thrust in completely, holding Chen Yuanyuan's soft body tightly, but remained still, savoring the feeling of his hard penis pressing against her warm spot. It was a unique sensation in his heart, completely different from the feeling of gratifying himself through random thrusting.
But inside Chen Yuanyuan's warm... vagina..." The vaginal muscles writhed as if chewing, sending waves of tingling pleasure through Mao Pijiang, causing him to twitch involuntarily. But the pleasurable sensation of the folds of her vaginal walls scraping against the tip of his penis made him twitch even more, the rhythm gradually increasing.
Chen Yuanyuan's slender waist responded, capturing his movements, her half-open mouth moaning and whimpering, further fueling Mao Pijiang's desire. Chen Yuanyuan's orgasms surged one after another like waves, her lower body becoming wet and slippery as if soaked in water.
Suddenly, Mao Pijiang let out a hysterical roar, "Sizzle! Splatter!" Thick streams of semen shot out, completely soaking into Chen Yuanyuan's body.
"Oh!" "Chen Yuanyuan cried out as well, a warm, bubbling flow of heat like a clear spring. Drenched in fragrant sweat, Chen Yuanyuan tightly embraced Mao Pijiang, her vagina still contracting and sucking, as if trying to completely absorb him.
Mao Pijiang's powerful ejaculation left his penis still throbbing; he held Chen Yuanyuan even tighter, showering her cheeks with kisses like raindrops. After her climax, Chen Yuanyuan breathed heavily, a smile playing on her lips, savoring the unforgettable experience.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "...Yuanyuan, wait for me! After I achieve fame and success, I will definitely come to fetch you?" "Go home..." For the past two months, Mao Pijiang's words before parting had echoed in her mind. Chen Yuanyuan waited faithfully for her beloved to come and marry her.
In the dark feudal era, a beautiful woman, as lovely as a flower and as bright as the moon, often brought herself many misfortunes; as the saying goes, "beauty is often short-lived." Especially in years of famine and war, the fate of young women was even more precarious. Just as Mao Pijiang was rushing back to Suzhou from elsewhere, intending to marry Chen Yuanyuan, disaster struck, leaving him with lifelong regret.
When Mao Pijiang returned to Suzhou, Chen Yuanyuan had already been redeemed by an old lecher, Tian Hongyu. This incident spurred Mao Pijiang to search even more urgently for another "missing" confidante—Dong Xiaowan—fearing a repeat of the same fate. (※A little preview: The story of Dong Xiaowan and Mao Pijiang's on-again, off-again relationship will be told in the next chapter.)
Tian Hongyu had been a military officer in Yangzhou, and his daughter was chosen by Emperor Chongzhen to be a concubine, thus earning him the title of Left Grand Commandant. He was arrogant and domineering among the imperial relatives. Although Chen Yuanyuan was extremely unwilling, she received no help from others, as no one dared to offend Tian Hongyu. She could only tearfully follow Tian Hongyu back to his residence.
After bringing Chen Yuanyuan back, Tian Hongyu, in order to please his master, sent her to the palace, intending to provide the emperor with some comfort. During the audience, Chen Yuanyuan wore a red fairy dress, her eyebrows lightly painted, but Emperor Chongzhen, preoccupied with the nation's crisis, had no interest in even glancing at the beautiful woman from Jiangnan.
He didn't even look at her, only saying indifferently, "With the country in such a state, how can I have the leisure to appreciate such beauty?"
…He waved his hand and ordered her to be sent away. Chen Yuanyuan could only return to the Tian residence with a feeling of utter grievance, thinking, “My bright eyes and white teeth are unappreciated.
” As soon as Chen Yuanyuan returned to the Tian residence, Tian Hongyu was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together and lewdly saying, “…Heh, the Emperor doesn’t cherish his beauty, I can’t waste such a gift…Heh…Come, come…” He then pulled Chen Yuanyuan straight to the inner chamber. Before they even stood still, Tian Hongyu impatiently stripped himself naked and then reached out to undress Chen Yuanyuan.
On the embroidered crimson bridal bedclothes, Chen Yuanyuan lay supine, her snow-white, soft, and curvaceous body; but pressing down on her was the thin, withered old man—Tian Hongyu.
Tian Hongyu’s buttocks rose and fell rapidly, and he kept panting, “Hmph! Hmph!” His hands greedily and unscrupulously groped Chen Yuanyuan’s body. In no time, “Ah! So good!” Tian Hongyu ejaculated amidst a series of erratic tremors.
Chen Yuanyuan felt waves of tingling pleasure in her vagina, her desire slowly being aroused, when she felt his penis contract and swell inside her. A warm current enveloped her entire body, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "Mmm!" A wave of resentment and dissatisfaction washed over her, as if a heavy stone were pressing on her heart. She glared hatefully at Tian Hongyu.
"Bang!" Tian Hongyu slid off Chen Yuanyuan, landing heavily on the bed, panting heavily. Chen Yuanyuan turned her head to look at his limp penis, sighed softly, and reached out to grasp it, gently playing with it, trying to awaken it so it could later satisfy her empty desires.
Because Chen Yuanyuan was skilled in singing, she was assigned to the Tian family's musical band. However, she was a free-spirited and unassuming girl. Although she wore fine silks and lived in luxurious mansions, she constantly had to deal with Tian Hongyu's unrequited and unsuccessful advances, leaving her feeling perpetually unhappy. In
the sixteenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, the peasant uprising first broke through Tongguan Pass, and in an instant, the entire Shaanxi province was swept away. With overwhelming force, they quickly reached Beijing. The powerful and wealthy families in the capital were filled with fear and trepidation, worried that if the rebels captured Beijing, they would have nowhere to live.
Tian Hongyu was also racking his brains over this matter when the clever Chen Yuanyuan offered him a suggestion: "You'd better befriend some powerful military generals; that way you'll have someone to rely on in the future." Tian Hongyu thought this was a brilliant plan and immediately thought of Wu Sangui, who was in the capital at the time. Grand Secretary Wei Zaode, at Tian Hongyu's invitation, came to discuss countermeasures. He also strongly advocated capturing the powerful Wu Sangui and suggested that Tian Hongyu invite General Wu Sangui to Tian's residence to watch a performance, thus establishing a relationship.
Tian Hongyu then wrote a memorial to the emperor inviting Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui had long wanted to see the performance at Tian's house, having heard of a beautiful courtesan named Chen Yuanyuan. Upon hearing of the invitation, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, but he feigned reluctance, only accepting after Tian, the Grand Secretary, had repeatedly invited him.
At the banquet, Wu Sangui bluntly asked, "I heard that the courtesan Chen Yuanyuan of Yufeng has entered your residence. Is she among these courtesans?" Before he finished speaking, a stunningly beautiful courtesan, carrying a pipa, gracefully walked out.
Wu Sangui stared in disbelief. She was in her prime, ethereal and otherworldly; her hair was piled high like wisps of smoke; gold ornaments were delicately applied, her phoenix hairpin was half-removed, and her earrings were like rainbows. She wore a white silk dress over a purple and green skirt, with red mandarin duck hooks peeking out from her feet. She moved with light, graceful steps.
Standing before the group of "beautiful dancers," she plucked the strings and played "Zhaojun's Lament," a piece expressing her own sorrow. This singer was none other than Chen Yuanyuan, whom Wu Sangui had longed to see.
After hearing Chen Yuanyuan's song, Wu Sangui was captivated. He requested to meet the singer and said to Tian Hongyu, "Father-in-law! This Chen Yuanyuan truly deserves the title of 'one smile that could topple a city, another smile that could topple a nation'!"
Tian Hongyu didn't know how to respond. Wei Zaode whispered to Tian from the side, "Now that things have come to this, why don't you do me a favor? Besides, even the finest things cannot be preserved when all things are destroyed!
We are in a desperate situation, so let's use this beauty as a tactic!"
Tian Hongyu had no choice but to ask Chen Yuanyuan to offer him a toast. Chen Yuanyuan moved to sit before Wu Sangui, who seized the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "You must be very happy here, right?"
Chen Yuanyuan replied softly, "Even a courtesan like Hong Fu Nu didn't like Yang Su, the Duke of Yue of the Sui Dynasty, and fled to Li Jing instead. How could someone like me, who is inferior to Yang Su, possibly like this?!... General Wu, do you think I would like this? As the saying goes, 'How could Green Pearl be hidden in the Golden Valley, and what heart does Hong Fu have for the Duke of Yue?'" Wu Sangui nodded repeatedly, responding with a knowing smile.
Just as Wu Sangui was enjoying himself, news came of an emergency at the Shanhaiguan border. A servant presented the official report, which contained only nine large characters: "Daizhou has fallen, Zhou Yuji has been killed in battle." Despite his deep infatuation with Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui was forced to leave his seat with a heavy heart due to military orders.
Before leaving, Tian Hongyu sighed and said to Wu Sangui, "I am nearing the end of my life. What will you do if Li Zicheng captures Beijing?"
Wu Sangui seized the opportunity to get straight to the point, saying, "If you, Father-in-law, are willing to give me Chen Yuanyuan, then my gratitude to you will surpass my gratitude to the country; and I will certainly prioritize protecting the Tian family over protecting the nation."
Tian Hongyu said, "I am old; I will give her to you after my death." Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately frowned, revealing his displeasure. Tian Hongyu dared not refuse any longer and had no choice but to part with her. He immediately sent men to escort Chen Yuanyuan to the General's Mansion. Meanwhile,
inside the General's Mansion, the household was bustling with activity, preparing to return to Shanhaiguan to defend the capital. However, from the inner study, the sounds of playing the zither and singing could be heard. It turned out that Wu Sangui was eager for Chen Yuanyuan to sing for his pleasure.
Emperor Chongzhen issued several imperial edicts urging Wu Sangui to take up his post immediately and return to Shanhaiguan to defend the city. However, there was a clear rule in the army forbidding soldiers from bringing concubines. Wu Sangui initially insisted on taking Chen Yuanyuan with him, but his father, Wu Xiang, worried that his son taking Chen Yuanyuan to Ningyuan would delay military operations and strongly opposed it, leaving Chen Yuanyuan at home. Before his departure, Wu Sangui, however, managed to find some time to have Chen Yuanyuan play and sing a song, which was better than nothing.
Not long after Wu Sangui went to Shanhaiguan, on March 19th of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign (the first year of Yongchang in the Shun Dynasty), Li Zicheng personally led the Shun army into Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Coal Hill.
After the peasant uprising army entered Beijing, the rapid victories led some generals to become intoxicated by pleasure and indulgence, becoming deluded and believing that peace had finally been restored.
On the day Liu Zongmin arrived in Beijing, Liu, the "General of the Imperial Guard" and "Lord Liu," who was the head of all civil and military officials of the Great Shun Dynasty, occupied the brothel of Tian Hongyu, the father of Consort Tian. Upon arriving in Beijing, Liu Zongmin had inquired of the eunuchs, "Of the three thousand beauties in the imperial garden, why is there not a single one of unparalleled beauty?" The eunuchs replied, "There is a Chen Yuanyuan, whose beauty is rare indeed, and she is said to be in Tian Hongyu's household." Liu Zongmin then entered Tian's house
to demand Chen Yuanyuan, only to learn that she had been given to Wu Sangui and was now in Wu Xiang's residence. Liu Zongmin then arrested Wu Xiang and tortured him. Wu Xiang lied, saying that Chen Yuanyuan had gone to Ningyuan and died there due to the change in environment. Liu Zongmin did not believe him and pressed him even harder, eventually killing seven actors and ransacking Wu Xiang's house before finally finding Chen Yuanyuan.
After forcibly taking Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Zongmin presented her to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng, hearing of her talent for singing and dancing, invited her to perform, which delighted him greatly.
After Chen Yuanyuan finished singing, she glanced at the legendary figure—Li Zicheng, the rebel leader. Li Zicheng was dressed as a military general, tall and imposing with a broad back and a bronze complexion. His thick eyebrows stretched straight down to his temples, his large, dark eyes were bright and piercing, and his nose was straight and his mouth square.
While not handsome, he possessed an imposing and intimidating presence. At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. She felt deeply saddened by being treated like an object, given and taken at will. Her brows furrowed, and she appeared haggard, lost in thought, silent.
Li Zicheng approached Chen Yuanyuan with a hearty laugh, placing his large, fan-like hand on her shoulder, saying, "From now on, you will reside permanently in the palace, enjoying all the riches, delicacies, and fine silks you desire! Ha! Ha!
Ha!..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, suddenly realizing the mistake of yesterday. Originally, she planned to escape her life as a courtesan and become a respectable woman, but things didn't go as planned, and she became increasingly entangled. Chen Yuanyuan thought, "Even if I enter the palace, what good will it do? What good will wealth, luxury, and fine silks do? I'll still be like a caged bird, merely a plaything for men!"
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's head bowed and silent, Li Zicheng assumed she tacitly approved of his further actions. Overjoyed, he reached out and touched her breasts. Lost in thought,
Chen Yuanyuan felt her breasts being massaged and immediately reacted professionally, responding with a mixture of resistance and acceptance.
Chen Yuanyuan felt both sorrow for her ill-fated life and pride in her captivating beauty. This internal struggle led her back into lustful desires.
Clearing her mind of distractions, Chen Yuanyuan stood three feet away from Li Zicheng, and with a graceful dance, she slowly removed her clothes. Chen Yuanyuan's bold and provocative style startled Li Zicheng. For a moment, he stared wide-eyed, his gaze and body following Chen Yuanyuan's swirling dance steps, admiring this enchanting jade goddess.
When Chen Yuanyuan's clothes were removed, her voluptuous figure was revealed, swaying gracefully. Her breasts were high and firm, her abdomen smooth, and her legs were long and white. Between them was a triangular area, with a raised mons pubis covered in glossy black hair. Below the black hair was a fleshy slit that rippled slightly with her movements, making one want to reach out and caress it.
Li Zicheng, overcome with lust, felt his penis harden. He quickly removed his clothes, his eyes fixed on Chen Yuanyuan's genitals, a look of intense, ravenous desire on his face.
Chen Yuanyuan, seeing Li Zicheng's unusually thick and long penis, exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" In her life as a goddess, Chen Yuanyuan had seen many penises, but one as thick and long as this was rare. Seeing the bulging veins, one could imagine its hardness—like a steel rod capable of penetrating walls. The sight stirred Chen Yuanyuan's heart, filling her with a seductive allure, and her vagina began to flow with lustful fluids.
What did Chen Yuanyuan think? A tingling, itchy sensation, like ants crawling inside her, made her clench her legs and approach Li Zicheng with strange steps, facing him face to face, her chest pressed against his. She then squatted down, letting her breasts slide down his chest with a "whoosh!" A heat of friction seemed to travel to their very core.
Originally, Chen Yuanyuan had squatted down intending to take Li Zicheng's penis into her mouth, but "only when you reach the middle of the river do you realize the difficulty." Facing Li Zicheng's penis, she found that her small mouth couldn't possibly contain such a large penis, so she resorted to licking it with her tongue, occasionally rubbing it with her cheek. Chen Yuanyuan was convinced that such a rare, large, hard object would surely bring her to ecstasy, giving her an unprecedented experience. Her lust made her restless, and her movements unconsciously became more intense and faster.
Li Zicheng was originally a warrior, a master of warfare, able to traverse battlefields as if they were empty; but when it came to matters of love, he knew nothing of amorous caresses! He always acted like a warrior rushing into battle, seeking immediate gratification. Therefore, Li Zicheng couldn't resist Chen Yuanyuan's provocation. With a low growl, he stretched out his long arm and grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's waist. With a single wave of his hand, he swept the cups and plates off the table, placing Chen Yuanyuan's body on it. Standing on the edge of the table, he spread her legs, pressed his thick, long penis against her wet vulva, and thrust in forcefully.
Although Chen Yuanyuan was startled by Li Zicheng's series of rough actions, she was already aroused and could only let out a soft, weak moan, raising her legs to wrap around Li Zicheng's waist, allowing him to do as he pleased. However, when Li Zicheng's hard penis penetrated, the large opening caused Chen Yuanyuan a painful sensation as if her vulva was being torn apart. "Ah!" Chen Yuanyuan cried out in pain, her whole body trembling.
Li Zicheng showed no tenderness, only taking advantage of the lubrication of her vaginal fluids to thrust rapidly. Soon, Chen Yuanyuan's pain subsided, leaving only the pleasure of her vagina being filled by his large penis—a feeling of both excitement and fulfillment. Chen Yuanyuan's breathing grew heavier, her moans and murmurs louder, her body twisting and turning, her hips swaying left and right in response. It was truly a seductive sight, enough to make anyone swoon.
Li Zicheng's penis had three characteristics: long, thick, and an exceptionally large glans. These three features both frightened and attracted women, capable of taking a woman's life with a single touch. But today, Li Zicheng had truly seen something extraordinary, encountering Chen Yuanyuan's cunt. Though the opening was narrow, it was overflowing with vaginal fluids, making his thrusts smooth; and while the flow was smooth, the vagina itself contracted and sucked like a small mouth. All these sensations gave Li Zicheng an unprecedented feeling of pleasure. What
did Chen Yuanyuan think? Waves of pleasure washed over her, she had already climaxed several times, and the continuous orgasms made her dizzy and almost unable to bear it. Chen Yuanyuan forcefully contracted her lower abdomen, her hips began to rotate, and her vagina tightened, completely enveloping the glans of her penis, contracting and relaxing like a child sucking on a nipple.
Li Zicheng felt the pleasure of his penis being sucked, and also felt something touching around the urethral opening, causing a tingling and numb sensation in his penis, making him feel like he wanted to ejaculate. Knowing he could no longer hold back, Li Zicheng increased the speed of his thrusts, and each entry went deep into the inner wall, making Chen Yuanyuan's lower abdomen bulge as if his penis was about to burst out of her belly.
At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy, her whole body trembling, her face turning pale, and with a seductive cry, another wave of heat surged in her uterus. The intense heat scalded his penis, and Li Zicheng roared from his core, "Ah..." as his penis trembled and throbbed, "Sizzle!..." Streams of scalding semen shot out.
Li Zicheng, still unsatisfied, thrust a few more times, then "Hoo..." let out a long sigh and collapsed onto Chen Yuanyuan.
Their two sweat-drenched bodies pressed tightly together, both breathing weakly...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Just like Li Zicheng, some high-ranking generals in the Da Shun army were also engrossed in their military exploits, completely unaware of the imminent crisis facing the Da Shun regime. It wasn't until a messenger reported that Wu Sangui had returned his troops to Shanhaiguan and declared his intention to restore the Ming dynasty that Li Zicheng realized Liu Zongmin had caused trouble.
So, on the one hand, he rebuked Liu Zongmin for his recklessness, telling him not to persecute Wu Xiang any further, and that he himself would also accept the offer and dare not act rashly towards Chen Yuanyuan; on the other hand, he ordered Niu Jinxing to write "Wu Xiang's Letter to Wu Sangui," and sent Tang Tong with the letter, along with Li Zicheng's imperial edict, ten thousand taels of silver, a thousand taels of gold, and a thousand bolts of brocade, to Shanhaiguan to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, and even offered to grant Wu Sangui a marquisate.
Although Wu Sangui was displeased, he had to consider his future, partly because his entire family of thirty-eight was in their hands, and partly because of his own future. Just as Wu Sangui was in a dilemma, Zu Dashou, who had surrendered to the Qing, used the pretext of visiting his nephew to sneak into the pass, and spoke on behalf of Dorgon, urging his nephew to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Just then, Wu Sangui's spies sent to Beijing returned. Wu Sangui asked, "How is my home?"
The spies reported, "It's been ransacked by General Liu Zongmin!" Wu Sangui replied, "That's alright, they'll return it to me when I get back."
Another spy returned, and Wu Sangui asked again, "How is my father?" The spy reported, "My father has been captured by Liu Zongmin." Wu Sangui, somewhat impatient, said, "That's alright too, they'll release him when I get back, and they certainly won't dare do anything to my father!"
Finally, the third spy returned, and Wu Sangui anxiously asked, "How are my wife and Chen Yuanyuan?" The spy hurriedly reported, "Oh dear! My lord, this is terrible! The women in the family, including Chen Yuanyuan, have all been forcibly taken by Liu Zongmin!"
Upon hearing this news, Wu Sangui flew into a rage, his hair standing on end in fury—truly, "The tyrant's anger is for the sake of a beautiful woman." Wu Sangui drew his sword and angrily cursed, "This is outrageous! A blacksmith has forcibly taken the general's wife! How can I submit to them? A true man cannot even protect his own family and suffer such humiliation. How can I face my elders and brothers in the capital? Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, I have an irreconcilable hatred for you! My mind is made up; I will raise an army to suppress you!"
After cursing, Wu Sangui bit his middle finger and immediately imitated the way Shen Baoxu of the State of Chu during the Warring States period tearfully petitioned the court, requesting troops from the Qing rulers. Through Zu Daqin's mediation, Wu Sangui told Dorgon, "I have suffered misfortune. Li Zicheng has invaded the capital, captured the city, and caused the late emperor's death and the destruction of the ancestral temples. The people of the nation are heartbroken. I, Wu Sangui, have received the nation's favor and have an inescapable duty to avenge this humiliation. However, the area around Beijing is small and our forces are weak. I can only presume to weep before your court and hope Your Highness will lend me a helping hand."
Dorgon used this opportunity to coerce Wu Sangui into surrendering his troops and handing over the Ming Dynasty's beautiful land. Wu Sangui, now determined to "weep before the court for seven days, so as not to betray my country and history," opened the door to the Qing and became a rebel against Li Zicheng. Having let the wolf into the house, Wu Sangui, following Dorgon's wishes, ordered all his officers and soldiers to braid their hair and wrap their hands in white cloth, accepting Dorgon's command.
After the Qing army entered the pass, Wu Sangui was appointed Prince of Pingxi by Dorgon and served as their vanguard. He swore an oath and marched out to fight, encountering the peasant uprising army led by Li Zicheng at Yipianshi (seventy li north of present-day Linyi County, Hebei). The Shun army was a disorganized mob, and due to their hasty response, they suffered a severe defeat, losing many soldiers and generals, with corpses strewn across the fields.
They were defeated and forced to retreat on April 26th of the first year of the Yongchang reign of the Shun dynasty. Li Zicheng, defeated and fleeing back to Beijing, ordered the execution of Wu Xiang and his wife, their son Wu Sanfu, and over thirty-four members of their family. He also displayed Wu Xiang's head on the city wall.
Chen Yuanyuan, taking advantage of the chaos, hid in a commoner's home and escaped the massacre. Wu Sangui continued his advance, and the Shun army gradually retreated westward from the capital. Later, Li Zicheng himself was wounded and retreated all the way back to Xi'an. Wu Sangui returned to his hometown of Beijing, but could not find Chen Yuanyuan. He searched everywhere, and eventually his generals found her in a small village.
Wu Sangui was overjoyed to have found the beauty. He immediately ordered the construction of a five-colored pavilion, the preparation of a fragrant sedan chair, and the festivities of banners, drums, and music. He personally went to greet her, a scene described as "a candlelight welcoming her on the battlefield,
her face streaked with tears and stained with rouge." Although Chen Yuanyuan's life had been filled with hardship, her beauty remained undiminished. Upon meeting her, Wu Sangui asked Chen, "Yuanyuan! I never expected to find you here. Am I dreaming?"
Chen Yuanyuan, seeing that Wu Sangui had already surrendered to the Qing, wondered... With her hair braided, she was overwhelmed with emotion and could only reply faintly, "San Gui!
You are no longer the General of Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty! You are now the Prince of Pingxi of the Jianzhou!"
Wu Sangui originally intended to continue pursuing Li Zicheng, but Chen Yuanyuan really did not want to see him again, and the people were displaced by the war. So she said to Wu Sangui, "Li Zicheng is a heroic figure, his military discipline is strict, and he does not commit the slightest offense. Some of his generals only obey orders, and he manages them well. The reason they detained me is to try to recruit you. They have treated me with courtesy, so you don't need to pursue me anymore!"
Wu Sangui had obtained Chen Yuanyuan, and his goal had been achieved. What he was considering was how to settle Chen Yuanyuan. He was even more eager to be intimate with her, so he naturally took Chen Yuanyuan to the palace. Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but pray silently, "May all the war and man-made calamities end here!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ On the bed in the bedroom, Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan were intertwined like two naked worms.
In their passionate kiss, a strong scent of violets assaulted Wu Sangui's senses. Wu Sangui gently pushed Chen Yuanyuan away, carefully admiring her translucent body. Chen Yuanyuan shyly pulled the sheet to cover her lower body, though her two full thighs were clearly visible under the semi-transparent sheet, and even her slightly protruding labia were faintly visible.
Chen Yuanyuan's breasts were high and firm, their contours even and distinct. Around her two prominent nipples were alluring rosy halos, and her shy, bashful demeanor only amplified her captivating charm. Wu Sangui, mesmerized by her seductive allure, casually began to tease her breasts and nipples. This caused Chen Yuanyuan to tremble all over. She suddenly threw off the sheet covering her lower body, leaped up, and embraced Wu Sangui tightly, kissing him passionately.
Chen Yuanyuan's tongue skillfully swirled and explored in Wu Sangui's mouth, teasing him until his mouth felt itchy, burning, and dry. At this moment, an indescribable lust welled up within Wu Sangui, spreading from the depths of his heart along the veins, instantly burning throughout his body. Wu Sangui
moved his lower body as much as possible, directing his erect penis to find Chen Yuanyuan's source of pleasure. Chen Yuanyuan deliberately twisted her hips, teasing him as if trying to escape, making Wu Sangui anxious and breathless.
Chen Yuanyuan, lying on top of Wu Sangui, saw his aroused state and, based on experience, knew when to advance and when to retreat. She then used her tightly closed, hot vulva to press Wu Sangui's penis down, pressing it against her calves, rendering it unable to move.
Wu Sangui's penis throbbed, trying to find a way in, but due to the pressure from above, even with his strength, he was helpless. So, Wu Sangui gradually moved his hands from her slender waist down to her smooth, soft buttocks, beginning to caress them extensively, occasionally crossing the cleft to find the small slit.
When Wu Sangui's fingers touched the slit, he gently parted Chen Yuanyuan's slightly warm labia, repeatedly pinching the soft, tender clitoris. In no time, the clitoris swelled from being squeezed, and at the same time, a warm, slippery liquid flowed out from the small hole beneath
it. Wu Sangui's fingers, aided by the slippery texture, "whoosh!" probed into the wet, soft hole. In an instant, the narrow hole, barely wide enough for a finger to enter, gradually widened and relaxed, releasing a large amount of slightly sticky fluid. Chen Yuanyuan moaned softly.
Wu Sangui pushed his fingers further inside, relentlessly and rhythmically thrusting in and out, occasionally teasing the walls of her hot, wet vagina. Chen Yuanyuan's cheeks flushed pink, her forehead beaded with sweat, her breathing quickened, and her kisses became increasingly intense and passionate.
Chen Yuanyuan's body began to tremble slightly, her lower body shaking, and the fluid inside her vagina surged like a tide. So Wu Sangui inserted two fingers simultaneously, thrusting them deeper and more passionately inside, twisting and turning them rhythmically. He felt movement begin within Chen Yuanyuan's slippery vagina, and her hips began to move up and down.
Chen Yuanyuan raised her hips high, her wet vagina seeking Wu Sangui's penis. Wu Sangui, however, grasped his large, hard penis with his right hand, rubbing the large, peach-like glans back and forth against her wet labia. Chen Yuanyuan trembled as if electrocuted, clinging tightly to Wu Sangui like an octopus, panting softly.
Feeling unbearably burning with desire, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly leaned back, guiding Wu Sangui's penis to her vaginal opening, and with a "whoosh!" sound, a thick, long penis was swallowed. Chen Yuanyuan let out a moan, "Oh..." and her hands kneaded her breasts, then she sat on them and began to twist wildly.
Chen Yuanyuan writhed like a millstone, and Wu Sangui could feel her juices flowing out repeatedly, soaking her pubic hair and scrotum; the silk quilt beneath her was also drenched, as if she were lying in a puddle.
Wu Sangui sat up, facing Chen Yuanyuan, so he could see her working diligently below; he could see her high, firm breasts bouncing with her movements. Wu Sangui opened his mouth, and when her breasts came to his lips, he would sometimes suckle, sometimes lick, sometimes bite... while thrusting his body upwards, pushing
his penis deeper. With each thrust, Chen Yuanyuan quickly lowered her vagina. As Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Sangui thrust in and out, their intertwined bodies emitted a series
of "plop! plop!" sounds, accompanied by Chen Yuanyuan's wanton moans of "mmm! ahh!"
Each thrust of Wu Sangui seemed to touch Chen Yuanyuan's clitoris, soaking the entire bed with her fluids. Her cervix began to suckle with a beautiful sensation, and the tender flesh of her vaginal walls contracted and relaxed rhythmically.
Suddenly, Chen Yuanyuan trembled violently, her arms tightly gripping Wu Sangui's neck. Her fiery red lips pressed against his, kissing his mouth, sucking and biting wildly. A surge of heat erupted from her vagina, pushing her orgasmic pleasure to even greater heights. Coincidentally, Wu Sangui also ejaculated at the same time!
"Oh... ah..." the two responded with a chorus of spring songs, ascending to paradise together.
Upon entering Beijing, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty immediately set about establishing a nationwide Qing regime, and bestowed upon Wu Sangui 10,000 taels of silver and three fine horses. Wu Sangui then spearheaded the Qing army's advance, attacking the southwestern region ruled by the Southern Ming, passing through Sichuan and Guizhou before entering Yunnan, where he killed the last Ming emperor, Yongli, at Jinchan Temple near Wuhua Mountain.
Afterwards, Wu Sangui was ordered to garrison Yunnan, wielding considerable military power and establishing a regional separatist regime. To appease Wu Sangui, the Qing court bestowed upon him the title of Fujin (a high-ranking official title) upon his first wife, Zhang Hua, ordered his son, Wu Yingxiong, to serve in the capital, and granted him Princess Heshuo, the fourteenth daughter of Emperor Taizong, as his wife.
Upon entering Kunming, Wu Sangui occupied Wuhua Mountain, extensively constructing palaces and enclosing Cuihu Lake within the imperial gardens. They also occupied the Yongli Palace, commonly known as the "Golden Hall," which was renowned for its "unparalleled jade palace, unparalleled land, half green mountains and half clouds."
Wu Sangui also built a pavilion in the sea near the Daguan Pavilion, named "Jinhuapu"; and constructed villas and gardens in the northern suburbs, called "Anfu Garden," also known as "Wild Garden." These were filled with towering pavilions and lush flowers and trees. Furthermore, these places were connected, allowing one to travel by carriage from Wild Garden to the new mansion, and from the new mansion to a boat via Zhuantang to Jinhuapu, directly entering Dianchi Lake for sightseeing.
Anfu Garden was built specifically for Chen Yuanyuan. Not only was its construction lavish, but it also forcibly looted all kinds of famous flowers and strange rocks from the common people and placed them in the garden. Rare birds and animals were also seized en masse; besides searching Yunnan, people were sent to the Jiangnan region, Fujian and Guangdong, to purchase them.
Anfu Garden at that time boasted thousands of varieties of flowers and trees, many of them exquisite. For example, there was the "Goddess Flower
," whose plant resembled a hibiscus and could change color several times a day: white at midnight, green at dawn, red at dusk, orange at 5 PM, and purple at 7 PM; it bloomed every spring, with a flowering period lasting several dozen days before slowly withering.
The garden was filled with countless treasures and artifacts. For instance, there was a large marble screen, about six feet high, with patterns and images resembling landscapes, trees, and rocks, seemingly naturally formed, much like the work of the Yuan Dynasty painter Ni Zuan. It is said that a special envoy was sent to the marble quarry to force all the stonemasons in Shiju Village to spend nearly three years selecting stones from the Cangshan Mountains. Just for polishing the stone surface, the best workers in all of Yunnan were recruited, enduring countless hardships before the screen was finally completed. Later generations wrote a poem about it: "The craftsmen's ten fingers were dripping with blood, the blood seeping into the stone to become a masterpiece."
In Anfu Garden, there was a scenic pond, its surface as smooth as a mirror, crystal clear. Beside the pond was a painted pavilion with embroidered curtains and pearl screens, said to be Chen Yuanyuan's dressing table.
At this time, Wu Sangui, like King Fuchai of Zhou with Xi Shi, indulged in a life of pleasure with Chen Yuanyuan, reveling in the beauty of nature and the allure of her beauty.
However, Chen Yuanyuan began to "awaken from her dream of worldly splendor," seeing through the illusions of the world. She increasingly believed that the current Wu Sangui was not the same as before; she also knew that Wu Sangui harbored ambitions to usurp the throne. What Chen Yuanyuan least wanted to see was the ravages of war. Therefore, although Wu Sangui intended to make her his principal wife, she refused.
Sure enough, in the twelfth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1673), Wu Sangui, together with Prince Pingnan Shang Kexi and Prince Jingnan Geng Jimao, launched a rebellion under the banner of "Overthrowing the Qing and Restoring the Ming," and proclaimed himself "Grand Marshal of the Army and Cavalry of the Realm," igniting the flames of the anti-Qing war.
Just as Wu Sangui was preparing for a major offensive, someone unexpectedly poured cold water on his plans. That person was none other than Chen Yuanyuan. Knowing this, Chen Yuanyuan seized the opportunity to say to Wu Sangui, "I was originally a courtesan from Suzhou, but now I am Your Highness's concubine. I have served Your Majesty for twenty or thirty years, and my wealth and glory have reached their limit. I fear that if I continue to live a life of extravagance, I will be punished by Heaven..."
Wu Sangui was taken aback upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "You... how could you say such a thing!"
Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Wu Sangui and slowly said, "I request Your Highness to grant me a clean room. I am willing to wear a monk's robe, eat vegetarian food, and live out my natural lifespan."
This request greatly alarmed Wu Sangui: "I was just thinking of launching a rebellion to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and become emperor. At that time, you will also be incredibly powerful. How could you have such thoughts!"
Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "From ancient times to the present, how many people have disturbed the peace of the people in their struggle for the throne? And once they become emperor, they rack their brains to keep their throne. What joy is there in that? " "?"
Chen Yuanyuan paused slightly, then continued, "When I was young, I thought myself beautiful and had some improper thoughts. Now that I am the prince's second concubine, I find those thoughts utterly vulgar. I think the prince is too self-serving; why not relinquish his military power, and we could live in seclusion together, like Fan Li and Xi Shi, boating on the Five Lakes? How happy that would be! Life is but a few decades; why start another war, vie for power, fight for cities and territories, causing further suffering to the people?"
Wu Sangui listened quietly, finding some merit in Yuanyuan's words, but said, "That's the view of women!" Realizing he was now in a difficult position, he reluctantly replied, "A true man, if he cannot be remembered for good, will be remembered for evil!"
Hearing Wu Sangui's words, Chen Yuanyuan knew there was no turning back, and sighed, tears streaming down her face. The next morning, Chen Yuanyuan reiterated her request to Wu Sangui, insisting on going to the purification room. Wu Sangui repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, but she said with immense sorrow, "It's too late! Time flies. I've endured so much hardship and torment over the years. I've come to a realization, I see through everything. You are no longer the General Wu of yesteryear, and I am no longer the young Chen Yuanyuan. I no longer want to go back. The scenery of the North no longer holds my allure. I will remain by this desolate lotus pond, keeping watch over my books and lamp, to live out the rest of my days..."
Before she could finish speaking, Prime Minister Xia entered and reported, "Your Highness, the generals and soldiers have all assembled at the drill ground to await your instructions." As the sun set and dusk approached, amidst the mournful, piercing sound of the bugle, Wu Sangui had no time to ponder further and could only acquiesce to Chen Yuanyuan's request, dragging his slow steps towards the drill ground.
Chen Yuanyuan, with indescribable feelings, immediately moved to Hongjue Temple and became a nun under the tutelage of Zen Master Wang Lin. She changed her name to "Jijing" and adopted the pen name "Yu'an," chanting scriptures and Buddhist mantras day and night, never again paying attention to Wu Sangui.
To deal with Wu Sangui, Emperor Kangxi personally oversaw the suppression of the rebellion in Beijing. Later, he simply executed Wu Sangui's son, Wu Yingxiong, and grandson, Wu Shilin, both in Beijing.
In March of the seventeenth year of Kangxi's reign (1678), Wu Sangui offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth in Hengzhou. He proclaimed himself emperor, attacked Yuan Zhaowu, and named Hengzhou (present-day Hengyang City, Hunan Province) "Dingtianfu" (meaning "Prefecture of Fixed Heaven"). In August, he died at the age of sixty-seven.
Wu Sangui's first wife, Zhang, and grandsons Wu Shi and Wu Shi... Wu Sangui's wife, Guo, committed suicide, and the rest of the Wu family, men, women, and children, were all killed, except for Chen Yuanyuan.
That autumn, Chang Zhiying told Chen Yuanyuan that Wu Sangui had been defeated and died of illness in Hengzhou, Guangdao, Hunan. Chen Yuanyuan thoughtfully said, "The karmic debt of over thirty years is finally settled." She sighed and added, "Through his actions over the years, I've come to understand that he was nothing more than a seemingly strong but actually treacherous, fickle, and indecisive villain; in my heart, the real Wu Sangui is long dead..."
A few years later, on a desolate autumn evening, as Chen Yuanyuan was devoutly chanting sutras by the lamplight and with prayer beads in hand, there was a sudden, urgent knock at the door. Chang Zhiying rushed out and saw Cai Yurong leading Qing soldiers to confiscate treasures and antiques.
Chang Zhiying immediately turned to inform Chen Yuanyuan. Unwilling to be recognized by the soldiers and fearing unforeseen trouble, Chen Yuanyuan sent Chang Zhiying to escape through the back door. She then calmly walked to the window, gazing at the vast autumn sky and water, and murmured tenderly to herself, "Clear and pure lotus pond water! I will forever lean on you..."
With her hands clasped together, amidst the chanting of Buddhist prayers, "Auspiciousness within auspiciousness, departure within departure, supreme benefit at the assembly of Prajnaparamita, all enemies departed, Mahaprajnaparamita..." she peacefully leaped into the pond.
Ripples spread across the still water...
