Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 1 Selected

"Miss!" Yang Yu woke up from her sweet dream and couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Bi Yue! What are you doing so loudly?"

Seeing the shyness on her face, Bi Yue couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, have you dreamed of the beauty again?" Narrowly looking at the collection of poems in Yang Yu's hand, Yang Yu couldn't help but blush, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" !"

Biyue smiled and said, "Miss will have this dream of being a beauty every time she reads an anthology of poetry, and this time will be no exception, right?" Yang Yu smiled shyly and remained silent.Yang Yu read softly: "Last year and today, in this door, the face of the peach blossoms reflected each other red. I don't know where the face is going? The peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze."

Bi Yue laughed and said, "Miss, have you seen clearly whether Cui Hu is handsome or not this time?"

Yang Yu blushed, and said: "I just envy the story of Cui Hu and Jiangniang in my heart! Because of the poem, I became acquainted, loved each other because of the poem, and made a good story because of the poem! What an expected true love!"

Qiu Chan walked in, "Miss always feels so grateful every time, do you want to find someone as talented as Cui Hu?"

Yang Yu blushed even more, "Qiu Chan! It's becoming more and more unruly!" Bi Yue said, "Miss, tell us the story of Cui Hu! Maybe we won't make fun of Miss! "

Yang Yu glanced at them coquettishly and said: "This Cui Hu went to play during Qingming, but found a piece of azure peach forest: the peach blossoms are burning,
Covered with branches, the breeze blows, and the fragrance surrounds people, making people suspect that they have strayed into the peach blossom garden.Cui Hu saw a family and wanted to ask for water, but he thought that the girl was dressed in light clothes, but there was an elegant and refined charm in her brows, her pink and rosy face was full of autumn waves, and she was dressed without makeup , the plain and clean cloths further bring out the innocence and beauty of the girl, just like a peach blossom in the spring breeze, Cui Hu hated meeting that girl, and that girl is none other than Jiangniang!"

Bi Yue interjected, "Are they already together?" Yang Yu smiled, "You're in a hurry!"

"That Jiang Niang is very talented. Cui Hu couldn't help sighing that the flowers are ready to be picked. Don't wait for the flowers to be empty and break the branches. Both of them are very interested, but they are in love and only polite. Cui Hu said goodbye soon. But The beautiful image of Jiang Niang has always remained in his heart. In the Qingming Festival of the second year, he came here again, but the door was closed and no one was at home. Cui Hu was disappointed, so he wrote down the poem that has been passed down through the ages! Cui Hu was worried when he arrived at the beautiful woman, and went there again after a few days, but heard bursts of crying! It turned out that Jiangniang had died! It turned out that after she came back that day, she saw Cui Hu's poems and hated herself for missing a good opportunity , thought that we would never see each other again in this life, so I didn't eat or speak, and I was so worried that I couldn't afford to get sick!"

Biyue and Qiuchan were fascinated by what they heard, and couldn't help crying. "Cui Hu was struck by lightning, and was shocked for a moment. He ran into the inner room, hugged Jiang Niang, who had not died, and shouted hoarsely: "Jiang Niang, take a step, Cui Hu will come with you! "Perhaps the heavens heard his cry, and that Jiang Niang actually came back from the dead! It's a good story for all ages!"

Biyue and Qiuchan couldn't help being moved, "No wonder Miss likes this poem so much, so there is such a story!" Yang Yu said softly: "If there is such a true feeling, I will die without regret!"

Bi Yue smiled and said, "Your Excellency loves Miss so much, he will definitely find a good husband-in-law for Miss!" Yang Yu laughed and scolded, "You're the only one talking too much!"

While the three were making fun of each other, Mrs. Yang hurried in with a solemn expression. Yang Yu was a little surprised and said, "Mother, what's going on?"

Mrs. Yang's face turned pale, and she hesitated to speak.Yang Yu couldn't help becoming anxious: "What happened!"

Mrs. Yang looked at her daughter, her face was like a bright moon, her eyes were like cold stars, her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her skin was as smooth as fat.

Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that the daughter of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is a stunning beauty?Mrs. Yang couldn't help sighing, she was burdened by such a good name, so having such a stunning appearance is a blessing or a curse?

Seeing that her mother was silent, Yang Yu couldn't help being deeply anxious. Mrs. Yang said, "Your father came back from court and said that Concubine Liu intends to choose you as a concubine in the palace. Your father has already agreed!"

The mother's words exploded in Yang Yu's ears like thunder, "What! Entering the palace as a concubine? No! Yu'er won't go! Doesn't father know what kind of place the harem is? How could he be willing to push his daughter into that dark place!"

Seeing her daughter's violent reaction, Mrs. Yang felt a pain in her heart, "Your father is helpless too! The concubine said it was a discussion, but in fact she had already made a decision, but she just told your father! The concubine has taken care of our Yang family for many years, how could your father refuse? ?”

Yang Yu was just in a daze, what she expected was the same affection from Cui Hu and Jiang Niang, but the emperor couldn't afford it!The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, how can he be single-minded about himself?He can't afford the affection he wants!

Seeing Yang Yu's bewildered face, Mrs. Yang felt a pain in her heart: "Yu'er, don't think too much, this is all fate!"

Yang Yu shook her head: "No! Yu'er doesn't want to enter the palace! I ask my father! I ask my father!"

"There is no need to say any more, this matter has been decided, you can just wait for the people from the palace to pick you up!" Master Yang's majestic voice came.Yang Yu looked up and saw that Lord Yang had already walked in, "If you don't want to, you will be resisting the decree. This is a serious crime! My Yang family can't bear it!"

"That's right! Sis, the concubine is in charge of the harem and has great power. We can't afford to offend him. What's more, our Yang family and Concubine Liu are in-laws. How can we not help each other? If sister is favored, it will also benefit the Yang family! Look, didn't the concubine agree that I would go to the Imperial Academy?"

Yang Yu glared at the person who came, it was his younger brother Yang Jue.He was born of a concubine, and he has always been at odds with him, so what he said was rather gloating.

Yang Yu glanced at her father, and there was a trace of pain in her eyes: "Could it be that father is ignoring Yu'er's lifelong happiness just for the honor and disgrace of the Yang family?"

Master Yang sighed, and gently hugged Yang Yu into his arms, "Yu'er, as a father, of course I know that the harem is a place to eat people, but Liu Taifei's order is really hard to disobey, Yu'er, just listen to your father once, okay? As a father, I don't ask you to favor the sixth palace, but I only ask you to be safe in the palace!"

Yang Yu was deeply moved by the pity and helplessness in her father's words. Her father still loves her, so how could she embarrass her father?Yang Yu closed her eyes in pain and said: "Okay! I'm entering the palace!" A line of tears flowed down slowly. Mrs. Yang was heartbroken and hugged her daughter tightly. Yang Yu sobbed softly in her mother's arms. It's just a dream after all!

On the second day, Aunt Rong, who was beside Concubine Liu, came to Yang's house. Looking at Yang Yu dressed up, she couldn't help admiring: "Miss Yang is indeed a peerless beauty!" Gently took Yang Yu's hand and looked up and down carefully. , Said: "It really has the demeanor of the concubine back then! Hands are like catkins, skin is like creamy fat, collar is like a grub, teeth are like a gourd rhinoceros, a gnat's head is moth eyebrows, she has a charming smile, and beautiful eyes!"

Yang Yu thought about it all night last night, since she was going to enter the palace, she let go of the sadness in her heart, and was careful in everything, as long as she didn't make mistakes.Hearing what Aunt Rong said, she said with a smile: "I never thought that Aunt Rong is quite talented!" Aunt Rong was very satisfied when she saw that she was gentle and approachable, and said: "I don't have any talents, but the concubine loves this Luoshen Fu and often sings it. Read, over time, I also learned a little, showing off in front of the lady! Hahaha!"

Seeing that Aunt Rong had no pretensions at all, Yang Yu couldn't help feeling relieved, so she bid farewell to her family and walked into the vast and deep Daming Palace.

Although today's Tang Dynasty is full of singing and dancing, drunk and dreamy, it is the afterglow of the setting sun, and the splendor is not there.

Yang Yu doesn't live with the family members who are waiting to be selected, but lives in the Changle Palace of the concubine, her outstanding status attracts everyone's attention.The concubine looked at Yang Yu and said with a smile: "It seems that the Ai family did not choose the wrong person, such a beautiful woman, how could the emperor not be tempted?"

Yang Yu was panicked, the concubine smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much, those family members are just making up the number, as long as you are selected for the Ai family!"

Yang Yu heard what the concubine said, and knew that she had planned everything, so she said, "Everything is arranged by the concubine!"

The concubine was very satisfied, so she ordered Aunt Rong to take Yang Yu to rest.

Looking at the magnificent harem, Yang Yu felt more and more uneasy.In this deep palace, how should she gain a foothold?What kind of person is the emperor?Everything made Yang Yu uneasy.

Now I can only take one step at a time, I just hope that I can live safely in the palace!
In the 14th year of Dazhong (860), that is, the second year of Yizong's accession to the throne, Xuanzong was buried in February, and the Yuan was changed to Xiantong in November.

Concubine Liu expanded the harem for the emperor on the grounds of extending her heirs.Tang Yizong's mother, Chao Shi, died early. Concubine Liu was kind to Tang Yizong in nurturing her, and the son of Liu Taifei, Zhao Wang Li Rui, had always been close to Tang Yizong, so the affairs of the harem were handed over to Liu Taifei.

Order Baiguan to speak of his daughter, sister, nephew and granddaughter since the age of ten.Because the emperor's concubines were all born in humble beginnings, Concubine Liu deliberately chose a lady from a great family to be her concubine so that she could assist the emperor.

Since Li Yan, Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, he often traveled to banquets and indulged in wine and sex, resulting in political corruption.

Moreover, the emperor only favored Concubine Guo Shu. Although Concubine Guo Shu had given birth to Princess Tongchang for the emperor, the emperor loved her very much, but there were no princes, and everyone in the harem had long complained.

"Your majesty, the courtiers and concubines do not obey!" Concubine Guo Shu said coquettishly. "My dear concubine, I don't want to be drafted, but Concubine Liu insists on expanding my harem in order to prolong her descendants, so I don't want to be too disobedient. Don't worry, my concubine, you and Tongchang are my lucky stars, and I will never fail you!"

Concubine Guo Shu was only happy when she heard this.Relying on her kindness in nurturing the emperor, Concubine Liu is gesticulating in the harem. She has always been lukewarm to herself, but now she wants to cultivate her own power!Fortunately, the emperor's affection for himself and Princess Tongchang is by no means ordinary!
Princess Tongchang is the most cherished daughter of Tang Yizong Li Yan. It is said that Princess Tongchang never spoke a word when she was three or four years old.One day, she suddenly sighed and uttered the first words in her life to her father: "Today I must live."

The parents were confused by the daughter's words.

Just when he couldn't figure it out, the guard of honor to welcome Li Yan as the emperor arrived at the gate of King Yun's mansion.

Overjoyed, Li Yan regarded his daughter as his lucky star, as if he was his darling, and loved her deeply.

Concubine Guo Shu leaned softly in the emperor's arms, and fed the emperor a mouthful of Xiaoyao soup, saying: "The emperor really loves the concubine and Tongchang, but the concubine is not talented and cannot please Liu Taifei!"

"My dear concubine, as long as I can please you, that's enough!" The emperor looked at Concubine Guo Shu tenderly.

Although Li Yan is the eldest son of Xuanzong Li Chen, Li Chen is also the emperor who has not formally established a heir all his life, and he does not have much affection for the eldest son.Therefore, when Li Yan was the prince, he was always trembling.

The king of Yun, Li Yan, was trapped in his palace. Only when Shen Ming was in the arms of the beauty, did he feel that he could temporarily forget the future that made him panic, but also full of hope.

Among all the concubines, the one who can understand and comfort him the most is the beautiful and gentle Concubine Guo.Guo Ji loves Li Yan deeply, and she is born with sculpted eyebrows, gentle and quiet, versatile, and even willing to taste suspicious food for him.As a result, Li Yan's affection for Guo Ji increased day by day until it became deeply affectionate.

Concubine Guo Shu smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Liu is very fond of Yang Yu, the daughter of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple!" The emperor frowned slightly: "Oh, it seems that the Yang family and Concubine Liu are quite close, they are cousins "The emperor is wise, that's right! After all, this concubine is not the emperor's biological mother, and she should not be too powerful!" Only Concubine Guo Shu dared to say these words.
