[Comprehensive] The Concubine's Counterattack Manual

Hearing her question, Li Yu suddenly thought of what he and Zhou Jiamin did together on the day Zhong Xuanshang passed away. A bit of embarrassment appeared on his face. He immediately avoided Zhou Jiamin's sight and turned his head in silence.

A red cloud appeared on Zhou Jiamin's cheeks, and she said in a low voice: "I was in a bad mood that day, so I walked around the garden to relax." She raised her head, trying to reach out to grab Zhou Ehuang's hand, her eyes were filled with Tears, and said sincerely: "Sister, believe me, I really didn't know that something would happen to Zhongxuan."

Zhou Ehuang, who was facing the wall, felt the temperature of Zhou Jiamin's fingers, brushed her hand away without hesitation, and said coldly: "Jiamin, when I got married, you were still young, only five years old. In the beginning, I was in the palace. We I didn't have a chance to meet you until Your Majesty ascended the throne, so I could often invite you and your mother to stay in the palace. You are my only younger sister. I have already felt that you are alienated from me after being separated for many years. For you, it's just that your feelings for me are separated."

She took a deep breath and continued: "But as the eldest sister, I know you no less than my parents. I know that once you lie, your fingers will involuntarily mess with the things in your hands."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Jiamin's heart tightened, he lowered his head subconsciously, and immediately let go after seeing the wrinkled skirt in his hand.

Zhou Ehuang's lips were pursed into an arc, and there was no trace of blood on her face. After a long time, she sighed: "Tell me the truth, what the hell were you doing that day?"

Zhou Jiamin's eyes were red with anxiety, "I, I'm really relaxing in the garden, sister, trust me."

After being silent for a while, Ehuang said lightly, "Go, I don't want to see you now."

Zhou Jiamin pouted, and shouted full of grievances: "Sister..."

Li Yu couldn't bear it when he saw it, and immediately defended Zhou Jiamin: "Ehuang, Jiamin is your own sister, don't you believe what she said? Jiamin has always liked Zhongxuan, and Zhongxuan has a little headache. You are still nervous, Zhongxuan is gone, her pain is no less than yours, during the few days when you were in a coma, she has been crying, for several days, her eyes are swollen from crying, I know you are Zhongxuan I’m sad about your death, but you can’t ruin the relationship between your sisters because of some unwarranted speculation.”

Hearing Li Yu's rescue, Zhou Jiamin's nervous expression suddenly eased down.

The age difference between Zhou Ehuang and Zhou Jiamin sisters is quite large. When Zhou Ehuang married into the royal family, she was Princess Wu for the first time. It is impossible to pass someone from her natal family into the mansion to see her.So after Zhou Jiamin became sensible, she could only know from the narratives of people around her that she also had a sister who was the royal daughter-in-law.

The elder sister is the pride of the whole family. Speaking of her, no matter who they are, they will give a thumbs up and praise: "Ehuang is a virtuous and virtuous woman. It is really the luck of the Zhou family to have this daughter."

And because of Zhou Ehuang's sister, everyone compares her with Zhou Ehuang in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing actresses, and... appearance.

Ehuang, Ehuang, her life was completely occupied by this name.

The name Zhou Ehuang was like a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

After Zhou Jiamin got married, the first time Zhou Jiamin saw her was at Zhou Ehuang's empress ceremony. Zhou Ehuang was wearing a court dress representing the identity of a queen, standing side by side with her husband Li Yu at the highest point in the Tang Dynasty.

Women are dignified and solemn, while men are handsome and upright.

It's a match made in heaven in the scriptures, but that's all.

When all the people in the world were admiring the lord and the empress couple, Zhou Jiamin was attracted by the gentle and refined Li Yu. Ever since she felt her heart, she would follow Li Yu uncontrollably.She knew that it was wrong for her to do this. The king is her sister's husband-in-law, her brother-in-law, and in this life, she can only be her brother-in-law.

She backed away, but her mother suddenly said that she would choose a husband-in-law for her, and brought another bundle of picture scrolls, and watched the portraits of men placed in front of her. At that moment, what appeared in her mind was the corner of brother-in-law Li Yu's mouth smiling face.

The mother finally chose a scholar from a poor family. According to the father, this person has a bright future, and the most important thing is that he is a person praised by Zhou Ehuang.Zhou Jiamin subconsciously said no.Not surprisingly, my mother asked Zhou Ehuang to come and ask her to nod after persuasion to no avail.

When Zhou Ehuang persuaded her to agree to this marriage, Zhou Jiamin clenched her fists fiercely, she was not angry, why is your husband a real dragon emperor, and my husband can only be a little scholar with nothing?

Zhou Jiamin felt that Zhou Ehuang pretended to be a good person, and her purpose was to marry her off, so that she could no longer get close to the king.Zhou Jiamin suffocated, and began to desperately look for opportunities to appear in front of Li Yu.

Facts have proved that she is more favored by His Majesty than Zhou Ehuang.

She believed that if she was the same age as Zhou Ehuang, the king would definitely like her, not the hypocritical Zhou Ehuang!

Zhou Ehuang drew back his eyelashes slightly, and said calmly, "Is the lord accusing me of not caring enough about Zhongxuan?"

Li Yu reacted and held her hand tightly: "Ehuang, you know, I didn't mean that."

Zhou Ehuang's voice was extremely cold: "I'm tired, I don't want to waste any more time with you, you all go."

She hugged the brocade quilt, lay down slowly, turned her back to the two of them, and closed her eyes.

Li Yu's lips parted slightly. He wanted to go forward to explain something, but Zhou Jiamin stopped him and said softly, "Brother-in-law, let's let my sister be alone."

Li Yu hesitated for a while, and Zhou Jiamin's hand slowly covered his. The delicate touch made Li Yu's heart tremble, and he smiled warmly: "Ehuang, then I will go first, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Zhou Ehuang didn't answer, Li Yu followed Zhou Jiamin and left the Yaoguang Palace in embarrassment.

In November, a heavy snowfall just fell in Chang'an. As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, but the arrival of this snow, accompanied by the death of a prince, once again shrouded the already devastated Southern Tang Dynasty in a layer of haze. .

Zhou Ehuang sat up after the two of them left, leaned against the head of the bed, and carefully reviewed all the things that happened around her since Zhou Jiamin entered the palace.

Before he could figure it out, he heard a clear and moving voice, "Niang Niang, the medicine is here."

Zhou Ehuang raised his eyes. The person who came was wearing the uniform of the eunuch in the palace. In Ehuang's impression, the appearance of the eunuch was feminine, but the little eunuch in front of him had pretty features, especially his eyes, which were big and Smart.

Before Ehuang could open his mouth to ask, he reported his family name: "The slave's internal guard is newly transferred to serve the empress of the country."

Zhou Ehuang glanced at him up and down, smiled slightly, and said, "What's your name?"

The little palace supervisor lowered his head, "This servant's name is Chongsheng."

His voice was gentle and mellow, flowing into her heart like a gurgling stream.

Zhou Ehuang's lips curled up into a very faint smile, and his voice was clear and shallow, as quiet and soft as water: "Your voice is very nice."

"Thank you for the compliment, Empress of the Kingdom." He presented the medicine bowl to Ehuang, who drank the medicine in a few gulps without blinking an eye, and the bitter taste spread in his mouth. bitter.

Chongsheng's task was completed, and he took the medicine bowl and wanted to leave, but Ehuang stopped him, "Are you literate?" Ehuang asked.

Chong Sheng paused, and replied: "This slave can read a few words."

Zhou Ehuang handed him the book at hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Just read a paragraph to me."

Chong Sheng raised his head, he carefully supported E Huang to lie down, and said softly: "I heard that reading can calm the mind and soothe the mind, I hope this servant can make the empress sleep well."

Zhou Ehuang smiled and closed his eyes: "This is the best."

He opened the scroll, picked the first one and read it slowly: "The reeds are green, the reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the side of the water..."

The sound of Lang Lang's reading echoed in his ears, but Ehuang didn't feel noisy at all, but felt his heart gradually calm down.

This night, Ehuang slept very comfortably. When she woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. In Yaoguang Palace, only her eldest maid, Qi Luo, was watching over her. Seeing her wake up, her complexion was much better than yesterday. , Qi Luo's eyes lit up, and she said pleasantly: "Your Majesty, do you feel any discomfort?"

Zhou Ehuang shook his head and asked, "What time is it?"

Qi Luo replied: "It's past the hour of the day, is the empress going to get up?"

Zhou Ehuang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Help me up."

She saw that the weather outside was excellent, and the sunlight poured into the hall through the gaps in the leaves of the big tung tree in front of the hall, making the room warm.

Qi Luo first helped her up and sat on the carved phoenix bed, and hurried out to serve hot water.

When she came back, Qi Luo had a gloomy face and twisted the veil to clean Zhou Ehuang's face.

Zhou Ehuang seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, with a vague smile on his lips, and asked softly, "Unhappy today? What happened?"

"Niangniang..." Qi Luo spoke indignantly, and was about to tell Ehuang what she heard when she went to fetch water just now, but she caught a glimpse of Ehuang's slightly pale face, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to hide it.

She pursed her lips tightly and lowered her eyes, shook her head, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, my servant is fine."

The voice just fell.Suddenly, a clear voice came from the corridor.

"The flowers are bright and the moon is dark and the fog is light. I can go to Lang's side tonight. I wear socks and walk on the fragrant steps, and I carry gold-thread shoes. See you at the south bank of the painting hall. I have always been trembling with people. It is difficult for a slave to come out, so I teach you how to show mercy."

Zhou Ehuang twitched the corners of his lips: "Who is the poet in the corridor?"
