The story of Concubine Yang and Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty is a household name. Many people think that the relationship between Concubine Yang and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty is sincere love. But most people forget one thing, that is, Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of Yang, was the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong before becoming the concubine of Emperor Xuanzong. Yang Yuhuan and Wang Mao, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, are married. And they still fell in love at first sight, so the question is, who does Yang Yuhuan love more between Shouwang Mao and his father Emperor Xuanzong?
Shouwang Mao and Yang Yuhuan fell in love at first sight
In fact, Yang Yuhuan was the wife of Shouwanmao, the youngest son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and was deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. In the autumn of the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty (732), when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Luoyang for inspection, he took his son Shouwang Mao along the way. Shouwang Mao was 18 years old and Yang Yuhuan was 16 years old.
When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty passed through Puzhou, Shouwang Mao went to the Pujiu Temple in Puzhou for a visit. It happened that Yang Yuhuan also went there for incense. At the age of 16, it was a girl’s flowering season. Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan are both at puberty. It’s love at first sight when they meet. At that time, Shouwang Mao gave Yang Yuhuan a jade flute as a keepsake. Promise Yang Yuhuan to return to Beijing and tell his father that he will marry Yang Yuhuan according to the etiquette.
Yang Yuhuan was also very moved at that time, and said to Shouwangmao, “I hope you will know me forever, and don’t let me down.” It can be seen that Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan have been engaged for life. In the end, Yang Yuhuan and Shouwang Mao were the matchmakers of King Ning. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued a decree to let the Prime Minister Li Linfu come to Puzhou with the decree to canonize Yang Yuhuan as Princess Shou. We can see that the combination of Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan is completely from love and is justified. It can be said that they should have a happy life.
Tang Xuanzong fell in love with Yang Yuhuan
Things in the world are always so unsatisfactory. Maybe Shouwang Mao and Yang Yuhuan are so happy that they are envied by heaven. It was the sixth year after the couple married. Before the seven-year itch, when the two were in love, Emperor Xuanzong’s Concubine Wu Hui died of illness. In fact, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty loved this Concubine Wu Hui very much.
Since the death of Concubine Wu Hui, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty could not find a replacement for Concubine Wu Hui. The ministers were also anxious to see Li Longji depressed all day. At this time, the son-in-law Yang Hui saw that Yang Yuhuan, the wife of Shouwangmao, was the king of China, so he recommended Yang Yuhuan to Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the son-in-law Yang Hui is really the villain of Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan. If it weren’t for his talkative, Li Longji could not remember this.
When Li Longji heard this suggestion, he clapped his thigh, right! The beauty is far away from the horizon and in front of us. It is Yang Yuhuan, his daughter-in-law. Then, as we all know, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, began to plan step by step, and finally succeeded in turning his daughter-in-law into his concubine. In addition, it was also magnificent and vigorous. Bai Juyi, these unreasonable literati, also followed with his feet and wrote a song “Song of Eternal Regret” to eulogize the love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan.
Who does Yang Yuhuan love more
Whether Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji are in love or not, no one else has the right to make a conclusion. It has to be asked by the party concerned. Li Longji doesn’t have to ask, as long as it is beautiful, he will love. The most important thing is to see whether Yang Yuhuan loves Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, or even if Yang Yuhuan loves Li Longji a little, after all, love grows over time. So who does Yang Yuhuan love more to his husband, Shou Wangmao and Li Longji? We can draw conclusions from some details.
First of all, Shou Wangmao and Yang Yuhuan have sons, while Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji have no children even after they have been together for so many years. It is said that once Yang Guifei was pregnant, but she miscarried. It’s strange that Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji didn’t even have a descendant.
Besides, we know that litchi is the most delicious in Guangdong and Fujian, but Yang Yuhuan prefers to eat litchi from Sichuan. Why? Because after Yang Yuhuan was made a concubine by Li Longji, Shouwanmao was sent to Yizhou, Sichuan by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to cut off Yang Yuhuan and Shouwanmao. So Yang Yuhuan chose to eat lychees from Sichuan, which actually expressed his yearning for his husband. As the saying goes, people think of things.
Du Mu said, “When riding on the princess of the world of mortals, no one knows it is litchi.”. The reason behind it is that Yang Yuhuan misses Shouwangmao. Just imagine that it is common for people to eat litchi now. Yang Guifei is a royal concubine of a country. How could she be so excited about a litchi without eating any delicacies. She smiled happily when she saw litchi because it carried her thoughts of her husband, Shouwangmao.
But as a weak woman, what can she do to face the powerful Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty? If you show your displeasure, it is likely that you will kill Shouwang Mao. So the final conclusion is that Yang Yuhuan still loves his husband Shouwangmao. And Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
