One is Zhou Ehuang.
And Chou in the back.
Zhou Xiao is Zhou Ehuang's sister.
This one is Li Yu's father Tang's favorite. She is not only beautiful in appearance and good in writing, but also well-versed in temperament and plays the pipa well. King Li Jing thought she and Prince Li Yu were a good match, so he gave her to his son. Li Yu likes the beauty of E Huang and the versatility of E Huang who can sing and dance. After Li Yu ascended the throne, he was very kind to her and made her queen. Unexpectedly, in the tenth year after their marriage, the queen suddenly fell ill. At the beginning, Li Houzhu took good care of her and served soup, hoping that she would recover soon; As Zhou Ehuang's illness worsened, Li Yu's heart gradually cooled down.
Li transferred his feelings to his younger sister. They were very much in love and flew together, and soon became a new country.
Zhou Xiao is younger and more beautiful than Zhou Ehuang, but his talent is quite different. Li Yuhe talked about calligraphy and painting, and she was absent-minded; Li Yu invited her to sing and dance, but she couldn't keep up with the beat. Fortunately, she is good at playing chess, so Li Yu abandoned her hobby and played chess with her all day. Ministers tried to remonstrate many times, but he accepted on the surface, and pretended to call ministers into the palace to discuss, but within three days, he was still hiding in Zhou Xiao's bedroom. I often sing and dance all night, but I don't care about governing the country. At ordinary times, he often used the state treasury to recruit a large number of talented people and preach Buddhism. He also put on the cassock, recited the scriptures and worshipped the Buddha, praying for the blessing of the Buddha. He also gave himself the title of "Lotus Peak Layman", built a Buddhist temple in the imperial city, invited many monks and nuns to live there, and went to the Buddhist temple to worship with Zhou Xiao every day.
In addition, there are: "I saw the old branches of tung flowers, and it was misty and rainy on the first floor." Who will be disappointed by the railing, but I don't think I have a low opinion. After the dead city, I can see my charming figure again, and I can't help it during the festival. In the past, there was an old smoky moon, and the lotus pond cried and flew. "
"Diligent transplantation, bending sill small bar. * * * worry about the day, and you can't worry. Clear the way against the wind and irrigate the cold spring by the moon. Who expected that before and after the flower, the moth eyebrows were incomplete. " And "Dong Jun didn't know when he lost the fireworks master. What's the use of incense? Still last year. " -These two articles are said to have been written by Li Yu after seeing that he planted plum blossoms for Zhou Ehuang himself.
"A bitter haggard, lost aunt niang yun zhuang years old. Sweaty hands are scented, and eyebrows are stained with black smoke. " -This is a towel.
"Since the shoulder is cut, it is difficult to win several shares. Leave the phoenix tail in the sweet sky and the sandalwood trough in the rest. " -This is about the pipa.
The most famous poems in memory of Zhou Ehuang should be the following two:
"(Xie Xinen) Cherry blossoms fell to the last month, which seemed to be full of bed sorrow. Much like last year today, hate is the same. Clouds gaunt, tears red. Where is acacia bitter, the screen window is drunk in the dream. "
"(Sauvignon Blanc) A cloud and a vortex, a Pian Yu shuttle, a blouse and a pair of light snails. There are many autumn winds, and the rain is mild. There are three bananas outside the curtain, and the night is long! "
As predicted by the world, after her death, her sister's family became the heirs recognized by Queen Zhong (known as "the Emperor's Father"). Just because the little girl was too young to hold her clothes, Empress Dowager Zhong had to keep her in the palace until she grew up. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother Zhong died the next year, so Zhou's family had to continue waiting in the palace.
In the first year of Kaibao (AD 967), Li Yu finally served the mourning period, and ministers began to discuss the things after Li Yu's book was established. It is said that there was an episode at this time, and Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin, sent someone to inquire whether Li Yu could marry the daughter of Zhao Songzong's room, and learned that the heir had been locked in the palace for many years, which broke his plan. (Empress Zhou Zhong He did not wisely predict this step as early as when he was dying ...)
In the second year of Kaibao, the first and last wedding ceremony of the reigning monarch was held since the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After four years of waiting, the Zhou Xiao family finally became a formal country, which is the so-called Zhou Xiao in history. This year she was nineteen years old, which was the age when her sister married Li Yu.
On the second day of the wedding, Li Yu held a grand banquet. Traditionally, since Han Xizai, all ministers attending banquets have to write poems to congratulate each other. However, as we all know, this new country has lived in the palace for a long time since Zhou Ehuang died. The slogan of Empress Zhong and Guozhangfu is "Stay in the palace for many years". In fact, word of mouth says that two famous flowery words, such as "portable golden shoes", were written for her. Yesterday's grand wedding was actually just a show. The bride and groom had been married secretly, so there was no wedding. -the congratulatory message written by everyone is distorted and more ironic than the congratulatory message. Li Yu was not angry with the attitude of ministers and laughed it off.
When I married Li Yu a few weeks later, the national situation in Nantang had gone from bad to worse, and Li Yu had no interest in state affairs. Indulge in getting drunk. Although the little wife is still spoiled in all aspects, it is called the "special room", but in terms of feelings and life interest, it is no longer the grand occasion of Zhou Ehuang.
There are more and more beautiful women in Jinling Palace. However, after Xiao Zhou, my husband is even worse. The beauty in the palace not only has little chance to get close to Li Yu, but also can't get the corresponding fame. If they hold a grudge, they can't stand it. They may even make moves after a few weeks, otherwise they will be accused or sent out of the palace.
Nevertheless, there were several famous concubines in Li Yu's later period, which can be found in unofficial history legends. The most famous is The Empress. It is said that this beautiful woman bound her feet in order to win Li Yu's favor when dancing, which started the bad habit of Chinese women bound their feet (I don't believe this legend). Even if my mother tied her feet, it was definitely not deformed. Maybe she did something like a ballet dancer. I don't believe that she can really dance at the top of her feet in the afterlife. There is also a "little stamen" who later became Song Taizu's concubine. There is also a maid-in-waiting named Qing slave, probably one of the maids who failed to get the title because of obstruction in Xiao Zhou. Because after the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, she became a concubine of General Song and sent a letter to greet Li Yu, and Li Yu's reply was by no means an ordinary servant's words. However, in all kinds of records, the most detailed concubine is Huang from Jiangxia, and her father Huang Shouzhong was originally from the calyx of Maxi, Hunan. After his father died, Xiao Huang, who was still a baby, entered the court of Southern Tang Dynasty, and was later named "Aunt Bao" for her beauty and intelligence. Huang had great respect for him and became one of the few official concubines recognized.
