In 965, Li Yu's empress became seriously ill, and her 15-year-old sister entered the palace to visit her. But within a few days, the queen angrily scolded her sister: "Roll! I don't want to see you again in this life!" Li Yu was ecstatic and quietly carried his wife and sister into the next room.
Li Yu is the poet emperor who wrote that "Asking the king can have a few sorrows, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward".
His empress was named Emperor Zhou'e, the eldest daughter of Emperor Zhouzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and at the age of 19 she married Li Yu, who was still the King of Wu, and later, with Li Yu as emperor, she became empress.
Emperor Zhou'e was proficient in music, could drink with Li Yu all night, and could sing and dance, which was deeply liked by Li Yu.
After becoming empress, she once enjoyed the favor of the special room.
However, everything changed from the moment my sister entered the palace.
Emperor Zhou's sister was 14 years younger than her, and when she and Li Yu married, her sister was only 4 years old, a naïve girl who didn't know anything.
The sisters' relationship is very good, so the sister can often enter the palace to play with her sister.
In 965, the 29-year-old Emperor Zhou'e fell ill, and in order to avoid passing the disease on to his younger son, he asked him to live in the side hall with his son, who was only 4 years old.
But the weather is unpredictable.
Li Zhongxuan, who lives in the side hall, is playing in front of the Buddha statue, but he happens to encounter a large glass lamp falling.
The loud noise frightened the child into crying, and the maid arrived late, and finally the child was frightened and died.
When she learned the news, Emperor Zhou'e was in pain, and she was already seriously ill, and this time, her condition was even more serious.
In addition to being a bad emperor, Li Yu was really a good man.
He accompanied his wife with his clothes, and every time he fed her medicine, he would definitely taste it himself.
Under the careful care of her husband, although Emperor Zhou'e was uncomfortable, her condition slowly improved, and her spirit was getting better and better, and she often said to her husband: "I am really lucky in life when I marry you." ”
But she did not expect that this luck was actually broken by her sister herself.
This year, the 15-year-old sister heard that her sister was ill, so she came to the palace to visit and accompany her sister to talk.
Because Li Yu has been accompanying his wife, his sister has also been able to have very frequent contact with his brother-in-law.
Since she was a child, she grew up listening to the story of her brother-in-law's pampering of her sister, and now she has a filter and aura for her brother-in-law.
She also wanted to be pampered like her sister, so she began to deliberately show her posture in front of Li Yu.
After all, it is a sister, Li Yu looked at her, as if he saw his wife when he was young, the same youthful and beautiful, lively and moving, the same understanding of poetry and song, song and swallow dance.
He couldn't help but indulge in it.
After all, he was a king, and all the rules in the world had nothing to do with him, and he naturally wanted any woman.
However, considering his wife's mood, Li Yu secretly communicated with his sister in secret to avoid delaying his wife's recovery.
But the romantic Li Yu still couldn't help but write love poems to his sister, just like the love letters he wrote for his wife Zhou Ehuang.
He wrote the scene of the meeting between the two into this "Bodhisattva Man".
"The flower bright moon is dark and foggy, and now Xiaoxiao is good to go to Lang's side!" Thorn socks step incense steps, hand-held golden shoes. Seeing the south bank of the painting hall, I have always been snuggled and trembling. Slaves are hard to come out of. The Patriarch is merciful. ”
Emperor Zhou'e was not a fool, she had been an empress for many years, she was in the palace, how could she not have her own eyes and ears?
Emperor Zhou E, who was in the hospital bed, was furious and directly called his sister over, angrily scolded, and then never saw his sister again in this life.
(Southern Book of Tang: Hou was angry, and did not turn outward until he died, so the Lord mourned in order to wipe his traces.) ）
Emperor Zhou'e was a knowledgeable person, and she could not accept her beloved sister, carrying herself behind her back and being with her husband, who had given her infinite favor.
Under successive blows, her illness became more and more dangerous, and she never got better.
A few days after this incident, Emperor Zhou'e seemed to anticipate his own death.
She propped herself up, bathed and changed her clothes, put the jade cicada in her mouth, and never woke up again.
When Emperor Zhou died, she was only 29 years old.
Li Yu was very sad and wrote many mourning poems, among which the "Zhaohui Zhou Houyi" was famous for its more than 2,000 words, and Li Yu signed his own money as "Widower Yu".
But in this world, where is there any real affection?
For the death of his wife, Li Yu's discomfort is real.
But for his sister's liking, Li Yu is also from the heart.
After the death of Emperor Zhou'e, Li Yu planned to make his sister empress, but his mother Empress Zhong also died suddenly, and he had to keep filial piety for 3 years.
In these 3 years, although her sister did not have a name, she has always followed Li Yu.
Their relationship was very good, and as soon as the 3-year filial period expired, Li Yu crowned his sister as empress on the grounds that the empress's position was vacant.
【Lingfeng Historical Pavilion】
When she became empress, her sister was only 18 years old, just like her sister who was just as young.
She got the love she wanted, because Li Yu was a good man who was obsessed with her, and his love for her far exceeded the love he gave to his sister at that time, and she also enjoyed the favor of the special room.
Even when Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty opposed her becoming empress, Li Yu was able to insist on personally arranging the wedding, giving her full grace.
In the history books, the name of her sister is not recorded, but in order to distinguish her from her sister Emperor Zhou'e, people called Emperor Zhou'e "Great Zhou Hou" and "Little Zhou Hou".
Unfortunately, there is no gift in this world that does not have to pay a price.
Although Li Yu was obsessed, he was not good at being an emperor, and the country was destroyed at his hands, and Xiao Zhou became a prisoner of Zhao Kuangyin in the Northern Song Dynasty with him.
The days of the prisoners under the steps were not good, and at this time, the beauty of Xiao Zhou hou also became a disaster.
She was favored by Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi, and was often forced to go there, and she was in extreme pain, and every time she would angrily scold her husband Li Yu for being incompetent. Shortly after Li Yu's death, she followed her at the age of 28.
