[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the face of the woman in front of him, and it was really very similar to the woman he saw in the picture.

Since the capture of Southern Tang, he often let the person in front of him accompany the king.It was even rumored in the palace that he was so moved by the person in front of him that he didn't care about her identity as the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty.In fact, only he himself knows that the reason for doing this is only because she is five points similar to the person in the painting.

'What you can't get is the best' He used to scoff at this sentence, but now he has to admit that there is some truth to this sentence.He, Zhao Kuangyin, has gotten countless women, but none of them impressed her deeply by the one-sided relationship.No matter how hard other women imitated that kind of steady and dignified posture, they couldn't imitate it.

Even, he has never seen with his own eyes the face of the person in the painting when he was alive.Once they met, he only saw a pair of eyes, and his face was completely covered by a light veil.Then he got the news that she was dead, and ended his life with her favorite dance music.That was a woman with pride engraved in her bones, and she was a perfect match for him.

It's a pity that because of Nantang's obstruction, they are destined to have no part after all.It's a pity that after he captured Southern Tang, all he got was a well-preserved corpse.

Even though Li Yu made the imperial doctors work hard, her body did not rot.But he was doomed to never see those eyes that made him most memorable.

All the ministers only thought that he didn't like Li Yu, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty very much, so people destroyed his almost completed mausoleum.The only ones who really knew his purpose were the few closest attendants around him.Since he was his closest person, he would naturally not tell anyone about it.He secretly transported the body of the person in the painting out, and no news came out.

Now that body that is extremely perfect in his opinion is placed in his royal tomb.Although he did not occupy the position of the queen, he was closer to him than the place where the queen was buried.That woman is really too special in his heart, so special that he can imagine the perfection in his heart.

Looking at the face in front of him that was five points similar to the person in the painting, he moved his fingers to touch her cheek.Seeing the girlish shyness on his face, he felt a bit dull.

The five-point similarity between the person in front of me and the person in the painting still depends on the facial features of the body. After all, the person in front of me and the person in the painting are really connected by blood.The pair of eyes that made him remember the deepest and the temperament of the whole body were really far from each other.The person in the painting, Kongu Youlan, is like a banished fairy in his heart, but the ignorant and vulgar woman in front of him is no different from those women he has been in contact with before.

What he saw in the eyes of the person in front of him was the desire for money and power, even if there was a hint of panic and anger disguised with unwillingness, there was no way to escape his eyes after all.Her love of luxury seems to be her nature. After so many years, many things have changed. Only this point, he can't see any changes.

Even people who grow up in the same environment will have their own advantages and disadvantages.His understanding of the person in the painting is actually limited to the information, but he can also vaguely glimpse her demeanor.

As for the impression of the person in front of him, since he checked the information, he no longer has any sexual intercourse between men and women.The difference between the two is no longer the difference between the genuine product and the imitation product. If you have to use a word to describe it, you can only use 'the difference between heaven and earth'.

Zhao Kuangyin took his hand off Zhou Nvying's cheek.Zhou Nvying always pretends to be shy and looks more similar to her eyes.It's just that no matter how similar they are, they are not after all.

Such inferior substitutes, not only did not make the reflection in my heart fade forever.On the contrary, let the memory of that glimpse gradually ferment like wine, and the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it becomes, the more unforgettable it is.

"Zhou Nuying, you can go. In the future, I will not summon you again."

Zhou Nvying's cheeks showed obvious surprise and a little panic.She always thought that the emperor Zhao Kuangyin was special to her.From the moment the two met, he had not cared about the difference in their identities and doted on her forcefully.On weekdays, I also like to sit face to face with her, just staring at her face.

In the palace of the Song Dynasty, Li Yu himself was already unable to protect himself, let alone torture her.So compared to the Southern Tang harem, she has a little more freedom.Although life is still poor, it is much better than when she was the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin's special treatment made her feel as if she had returned to the time when she just seduced Li Yu.The feeling of controlling the mood of an emperor in the palm of her hand was naturally quite unforgettable for her.

She wants to be favored by Zhao Kuangyin, even if she is special and cannot enter the palace openly, her life will obviously be better.It even reminded her of the years when she was held in the palm of her parents' hands before entering the palace.

Compared with seducing Li Yu, she was obviously more cautious when facing Zhao Kuangyin.Zhao Kuangyin is much more indifferent than Kuai Li Yu, he is obviously not that easy to control.I was afraid that if I did something wrong again, I would end up in a more miserable end.

It's just that she hasn't done anything yet, so why did Zhao Kuangyin let her go.In the past, when Zhao Kuangyin favored her, she always showed a forced look.As a "married woman", if she behaves too loosely, she will definitely not be liked.

In order to show her reluctance, she even cried to Li Yu every time she went back.In this way, she can both annoy Li Yu and achieve her own goals. For her, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

But now, when Zhao Kuangyin asked her to leave, she couldn't even say a word of intercession to herself.If you want to justify yourself, showing an ecstatic smile is the best.Zhou Nvying raised the corners of her lips, trying to put a smile on her eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Nvying's hands tightened slightly, she hoped that Zhao Kuangyin's dissatisfaction would be dissatisfied with her expression of ecstasy and relaxation.Now that he was dissatisfied, he couldn't let her go so easily.In this way, maybe he will suffer a little when he is favored, but it is much better than even the servant's face after falling out of favor.

"There's no need to be too polite." Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhou Nvying's hypocritical appearance at this time, and felt that it was the best choice for him to push her away.Comparing Zhou Nvying with Zhou Ehuang is an insult to Zhou Ehuang.Not to mention, Zhou Nuying was also the chief culprit in Zhou Ehuang's death.

Zhao Kuangyin is not a good man and a believer, but he would never do anything to force a woman from a good family on weekdays.The reason why there is no psychological burden on Zhou Nuying is because of the secrets of Zhou Nuying's seduction of Li Yu recorded in the data.She herself is not a clean person, so how can she be respected by others.

Moreover, in Zhao Kuangyin's view, he did not force Zhou Nvying.The first time Zhou Nvying saw him, she was ready to refuse and welcome, could this be regarded as his coercion?

What Zhou Nuying did made him look down on him, so he didn't need to consider the consequences of what he did.

Zhou Nvying couldn't help pursing her lips, and pressed the corners of her lips into a straight line.She knew that if she turned around and left today, she really wouldn't have another chance.As a queen of the former dynasty, it is impossible for her to meet the emperor who manages everything day by day.

Are you willing to leave her like this?Of course she is not reconciled!She didn't even know why the relationship between her and Zhao Kuangyin started and ended. "Your Majesty, can I ask a question?!"

"But it doesn't matter." Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't have the patience to continue playing with Zhou Nvying, he could still answer just a question.

"Your Majesty, why did you visit your maidservant in the first place? You should know that no matter how much the maidservant is not favored by Li Yu, she is still his nominal wife after all. You treated Li Yu very well at that time, but why did you take his wife away? "Zhou Nvying wanted to draw out Zhao Kuangyin's old love for her with this sentence.

Zhou Nuying still feels that Zhao Kuangyin must have feelings for her.Otherwise, since you want to be kind to Li Yu, why not be kind to Li Yu thoroughly? !

"You really want to know?!" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhou Nvying, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, showing obvious evil.He is much more dangerous than Li Yu, but it is easier for women to fly to the fire.

"Yes." Zhou Nvying's eyes were really obsessed.She finally remembered what scene she was in right now, and she suppressed that obsession as soon as it appeared.

Zhao Kuangyin got up and walked to a cabinet, and moved his fingers casually in the cabinet, not knowing what he did, the cabinet opened to one side.A huge painting appeared in the middle.

To Zhou Nvying, the people above really seemed to have known each other.She always appears when she has nightmares.Zhou Nvying's pupils narrowed slightly, she looked at the smiling person above, that person was... "Sister?!"

She always thought that Zhou Ehuang was dead, and she had indeed set up a lot of tricks before she died, which made her suffer a lot in the Southern Tang harem.But after the Southern Tang was captured, she felt that Zhou Ehuang's shadow had left her.

Who knew that after so many years, she would actually see this painting in Zhao Kuangyin's hands.This painting was written by Li Yu, but after it was painted, it disappeared for no reason.Unexpectedly, it would be here with Zhao Kuangyin.How did Zhou Ehuang meet Zhao Kuangyin, even if she did, how could she make Zhao Kuangyin never forget her? !

Losing to the same person twice in a row, the impact on Zhou Nuying is not insignificant.She looked at Zhao Kuangyin even with pleading eyes, wanting to know the truth.

Zhao Kuangyin walked up to the picture scroll that was exactly one person tall, and put his finger on the corner of the person's eyes.He wanted to touch the eyes that fascinated him very much, but he was afraid of ruining the painting he had taken from Li Yu.After all, the fingers are just suspended in the air, without actually touching the drawing paper. "That's right, she is your older sister. Ehuang's appearance is five points similar to yours."

Her self-righteous doting, but because she is five points similar to Zhou Ehuang?Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin never liked her, Zhou Nvying, but always liked a dead person who had already been buried.That's why Zhao Kuangyin likes to look at her face, and even feels dazed because of it.

She fought Zhou Ehuang all her life, but in the end, even after her death, she couldn't escape her shadow.It seems that everyone has a soft spot for her. She, Zhou Nvying, has worked so hard for so long, but she can't get anything?Why? ! "Why sister?! As far as I know, after my sister enters the palace, it is impossible for her to have time to spend with you!"

"Maybe it was love at first sight?" Zhao Kuangyin was actually not sure.When he met Zhou Ehuang, Zhou Ehuang did leave a deep impression on him at the first moment, but he didn't feel that he could be measured by 'like' or 'love'.

However, because he asked his subordinates to investigate some of Zhou Ehuang's past many times, this special impression became more and more profound.He even studied Zhou Ehuang's experience as a biography of a celebrity.By the time he realized something was wrong, he was already too late to withdraw.He would actually indulge himself in liking a dead man.

Could this still be considered 'love at first sight'?Maybe it's also 'love with time'?The use of these two words on him makes "love at first sight" more credible.

"Love at first sight, actually love at first sight?!" Zhou Nvying really felt that she was too ridiculous.What she wanted, what Zhou Ehuang got was really easy.

"When Emperor E was alive, I sent envoys to visit the Southern Tang Dynasty. The ministers should all know that I have long been interested in Emperor E." What Zhao Kuangyin said was indeed true.After the rumor of Zhou Nvying being favored, the ministers should all have guessed something.

However, Zhou Nuying's status in Southern Tang was so embarrassing, no one should take the initiative to tell Zhou Nuying.Zhou Nvying wished that the word Zhou Ehuang would never appear in her ears again, so how could she take the initiative to ask? !In this way, what many people know is a secret to Zhou Nuying.

Zhou Nuying lowered her eyes and stabilized her emotions.Therefore, from beginning to end, she was the only one kept in the dark.She suddenly thought of the way Li Yu looked at her on weekdays, how similar it was to Zhou Ehuang back then.

Just looking at her like that, it seemed that nothing she said or did could catch his eyes.Appears to be looking at a clown.She was defeated once again, at the hands of the same person.

"Your Majesty, the servants are leaving!" Zhou Nuying was afraid that she would lose her composure in front of Zhao Kuangyin if she continued to stay.She has seen how indifferent Zhao Kuangyin's methods are, even at this point.She still doesn't want to die!

"En." Zhao Kuangyin didn't turn around, but still looked at the painting in front of him.Even if the person in this painting can't touch the flesh and blood, just looking at it like this is more perfect than those who he can touch the flesh and blood.It's just that, thinking of someone who once held her in his arms, that sense of satisfaction has dropped a lot.

Zhao Kuangyin returned the cabinet to its place, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Come on."

"Your Majesty, what orders do you have?!" A guard in black knelt down in front of him.

"I heard that Li Yu has always hated me, and still misses his homeland?!" Zhao Kuangyin's voice was very cold.

"Yes!" The guard responded.Li Yu has always been only superficially docile, but in fact, he really didn't use any surrender to Da Song.

"You can follow me to see him off." Zhao Kuangyin tossed off his robe and walked out of the study.

……

Li Yu is in a room full of portraits.The walls around him are all portraits of the same person, and his men are still painting, and the outline of the woman can be vaguely seen.

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes were full of warmth.Now that his motherland is gone, he has more time to miss the woman in his heart.At this time, no matter whether he opened his eyes or closed them, he could only see one figure.Only the name of 'Zhou Ehuang' is loud in my heart.

Now that Nan Tang is gone, he doesn't need to be distracted by state affairs anymore, he can truly be the only one left in his heart.However, the guilt in my heart has never diminished, on the contrary, it has become deeper and deeper with the passage of time.

He couldn't forget that Zhou Ehuang died for him, no matter how many things he did, this fact would still make her heartache.A perfect woman like Zhou Ehuang should be loved by her husband and sought after by the world.Only because of his mistake, Zhou Ehuang was seriously ill.

In the end, Zhou Ehuang obviously still has three days to take another look at this world.It was also because Li Yu pretended to be clever and concealed it, lest she would feel uneasy, so that she would dance to her death the next day.She walked so chicly, but it became a regret that he could never make up for in his life.

It seemed that the more time he spent with Zhou Ehuang, the more mistakes he would make and the more he owed Zhou Ehuang.In fact, as he himself felt, he was not worthy of such a perfect Zhou Ehuang.Even though he knew he wasn't good enough, he still didn't want to let go.

He is selfish after all.Even now, there is only one thing he will not regret.That is to have her, and then watch her die in his arms.

It has been a while since Ehuang left, when Li Yu was still the lord of the country, he has been following Zhou Ehuang's instructions and let himself and Zhou Nvying torture each other.When Zhou Ehuang just passed away, he was still in the period of filial piety and could not establish a new queen.However, Zhou Nuying has been detained by him in the palace, and she can still be tortured if she is not the queen.

He never knew that the self-proclaimed meekness and generosity would one day fall in love with punishment.Moreover, it is still a punishment that can make people feel painful, but it will not be revealed on the surface.Sometimes he would watch someone execute Zhou Nuying's body, but most of the time he did it himself.It seems like that, it will feel easier.Although he knew very well in his heart that the feeling of guilt would not be reduced because of this.

After his filial piety period passed, he followed the wishes of the ministers and re-emerged.Zhou Nvying became a queen, but it didn't change her life.It was impossible for him to let her get what he wanted, and the reason why Zhou Nvying was appointed queen was to fulfill his promise to Zhou Ehuang.Let the Zhou family continue to raise all boats.

When the Southern Tang Dynasty was captured by the Great Song Dynasty, he was fortunate to have Zhou Nuying as his queen.If it weren't for the identity of Zhou Nu's British empress, how could Zhao Kuangyin see it at the first sight.When Zhao Kuangyin got along with Zhou Nuying, he knew that even if he met Ehuang in the Underworld, Zhao Kuangyin would no longer have an advantage over him.

Zhou Nuying is as vain as ever, and likes a luxurious life as always.When he watched her complaining to him, there was pride in his eyes, but his heart was full of sarcasm.

How could a man who fell in love with Ehuang fall in love with other women.In Zhao Kuangyin's mind, Zhou Nvying is just a poor substitute.Once it is found that the substitute is not even qualified to replace it, it will be discarded directly.

He didn't have time to pay attention to Zhou Nuying. For him, if he had that free time to talk with him, it would be better to paint a portrait of Ehuang.However, he also didn't have any affection for Zhao Kuangyin. He could clearly see that man's feelings for Ehuang.Now, he didn't even have the ability to protect Ehuang's body, and watched Zhao Kuangyin put her into his imperial tomb.What a waste of a husband...

"Li Yu, you've always known that, right?!" Zhou Nvying's face was full of resentment.

"Of course." Li Yu smiled slightly, but did not look up.Still concentrating on painting.

"You..." Zhou Nvying wanted to say something more, but the door of the room was opened again.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed sincerely. This room full of portraits hung on the walls, and there was nothing but a desk and a bed, was praised sincerely by Zhao Kuangyin.Everyone knew that what he praised was not the room, but the person in the painting.

This time, Zhao Kuangyin came here without being notified.Li Yu didn't put down his brush to pay his respects.Compared with whether he would be disrespectful in front of Zhao Kuangyin, he cared more about whether he could make his subordinates' paintings perfect.

Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry, he admired the paintings hanging on the wall with a bit of obsession in his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yu put down his brush.He looked at the painting under his hand and smiled again. "What is the emperor coming here for?"

"Send you on your way." Zhao Kuangyin didn't hide anything, he knew Li Yu would not resist.This person probably has no living body for a long time, but for some reason, he has been persisting.No matter how humiliated you are, you don't mean to commit suicide.

"What will happen to Zhou Nuying?!" Li Yu really wanted to leave with Zhou Ehuang, but he had promised Zhou Ehuang to torture Zhou Nuying.Naturally, he at least wanted to know what happened to Zhou Nuying.

"Naturally with you!" Zhao Kuangyin didn't care how Li Yu felt about Zhou Nvying.Since Li Yu was very concerned about Zhou Nvying's ending, he spent an extra glass of poisonous wine.

"No, I don't want to die! I don't want to!" Zhou Nvying felt that she only had one life at this time, so she was willing to die like this.Even if it is painful to live, at least it is alive.

However, how could she, a woman, resist those strong guards around Zhao Kuangyin.He was caught directly and drank poisonous wine.Compared with Li Yu, one step ahead.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Li Yu nodded. "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he took down the paintings on the wall one by one, and finally stacked them on the desk, which was quite heavy.He stroked the top drawing paper. In fact, he wanted to light all the portraits on fire and leave with him.However, with Zhao Kuangyin here, how could he let him do this.

Li Yu picked up a glass of poisoned wine and drank it down.Blood began to appear on his lips, but tears gradually slid down from his eyes.In the end, he still lost to Ehuang.It is really disrespectful to Ehuang to let so many scrolls be passed on to other people.

If there is an afterlife, you should use your whole life to apologize.I only hope that in the next life, this guilt will remain.
