At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Si Zong Chongzhen and Empress Zhou should be regarded as model couples. They loved each other when they were born, and they were both martyred when they went. This feeling is very rare.

Empress Zhou is not only beautiful, but also virtuous. She is knowledgeable and principled, and she also knows how to compromise and give in appropriately. Chongzhen also has a favorite named Tian Guifei. From the treatment of Tian Guifei by Queen Zhou, it can be seen that Chongzhen respects her very much.

"Ming Shi" made a legend for her, "Princess was born slim, taciturn and talented", and Tian Guifei was in her mansion when Emperor Chongzhen was still a king. Because "refined temperament, good Dan Qing" probably voted for Emperor Chongzhen, Tian Guifei was very popular. In the first year of Chongzhen, Tian was named "Li Fei" and was promoted to "Imperial concubine" only four months later.

Wu Meicun, a poet in the late Ming Dynasty, wrote a narrative poem "The Poem of Yonghe Palace", which depicts Tian Guifei's "elegant steps and slim waist, and her first call, which coincides with Jin Chai's love day. Abundance is unparalleled, and cuju talks about chess first. Flowers and birds in the forest sketch, and the clock king is forbidden to order plain hair. Yangliufeng tried the horse in the spring, and the phoenix tree blew the flute in the cold. " In Wu Meicun's works, Tian Guifei is not only elegant in temperament and graceful in manners, but also very versatile: she can play cuju, be good at talking, draw flowers and birds, write about Zhong Wang, try horses in the spring suburbs, and play the flute in the cold dusk. She is really a rare woman who is dynamic and quiet and as appropriate as possible.

If Tian Guifei is really like this, it is inevitable that she will be particularly favored by Chongzhen. However, there may be a constant storm in the palace, and there are many things about the disharmony between concubines and concubines in the palace in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was a man named Li Xunzhi who wrote a story about the palace memorial.

Emperor Chongzhen likes Tian Guifei to play the piano very much. It is said that Tian Guifei's piano skills are excellent, and Chongzhen is intoxicated with each performance. Once Emperor Chongzhen and Queen Zhou listened to Tian Guifei playing the piano together. When Emperor Chongzhen got carried away, he said something he shouldn't have said and asked Queen Zhou, "Why can't I be alone?" Tian Guifei plays the piano so well, how come you can't play it at all? Does that make sense? Empress Zhou is really a palace, and she replied with a straight look, "My concubine is a Confucian, but she only knows the achievements of silkworms." This is very powerful. Confucianism is the right way, and Confucianism regards benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust as the way to govern the country, but does not pay attention to debauchery. In the Zhou Dynasty, in the spring, the Emperor paid tribute to farming, indicating that he valued agriculture and advised mulberry. The queen kissed the silkworm to show her diligence in spinning. When the new valley is ripe and the silk is reeled and woven, the new valley produced by the field cultivated by the son of heaven is used as a sacrifice, and the son of heaven puts on the sacrificial clothes made of the queen's sericulture, silk reeling and weaving to sacrifice to his ancestors. What Queen Zhou said is very consistent with her mother's identity in the world, so Emperor Chongzhen can't reject it.

Empress Zhou disliked Tian Guifei very much, and once embarrassed her when she came to pay her respects at the New Year's Day. Let Tian Guifei wait outside the palace for a long time when it is freezing, which not only makes Tian Guifei lose face, but also suffers from bitter cold. On the contrary, the later Yuan Shufei received the courtesy of Queen Zhou. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen asked Empress Zhou, who was angry and went on a hunger strike. Finally, Emperor Chongzhen had to demote Tian Fei and moved to Qixiang Palace. The aforementioned "Yong He Gong Ci" written by Wu Meicun is about the storm. After that, Emperor Chongzhen and Queen Zhou enjoyed flowers at Yonghe Gate. After a week, Tian Fei was invited, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered Tian Fei to come by bus. The three emperors and empresses were reconciled.
