Chapter 658: Yang Yuhuan Chapter (Extra) IV

();

Since then, "Shame Flower" has become Yang Guifei's nickname. Mimosa is "ashamed" to see people, because of plant electricity. At the base of the leaf-perched momosa, there is a parenchyma cell tissue called the "leaf mattress", which is usually filled with enough water. When the leaves are stimulated, the water in the parenchyma cells immediately flows to the upper and both sides under the command of the plant's electricity. Due to the increase in the weight of the blades, the blades are closed and the petioles hang down. Mimosa plants are delicate and delicate, and in order to survive, they have developed this special ability to adapt to their environment through long-term natural selection.

The concubine smiled

Yang Guifei, the favorite concubine of Tang Xuanzong, has the beauty of the city and the country, is naturally beautiful, proficient in music, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. So much so that Tang Xuanzong doted on her.

A ride on the red dust concubine smiled

In order to win the favor of Yang Guifei, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was above 10,000 people, always appointed a special person to transport fresh lychees with dew from Sichuan (some said from Guangdong and Fujian) through post stations every five or ten miles during the lychee season. The enjoyment in the palace is extremely extravagant, the more rare the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the more the treasure of the world has to pay tribute, in addition to lychee, there is another fine wine that makes Tang Xuanzong seal the imperial wine of the palace, the water used for winemaking is the morning nectar on the high mountain, this wine has the unique geographical advantage of Sichuan Xingnong winemaking, the wine is mellow and fragrant, clear but not light, strong but not glamorous!

"When the concubine laughs on the red dust, no one knows that it is a lychee." At that time, what kind of moving scene was when Yang Guifei tasted lychees in Huaqing Palace, Tang Xuanzong always drank with this wine, Yang Guifei was of course more "looking back and smiling, and the six palaces have no color". Since then, there has been this famous joke in history. "Hua Qingsheng is drunk, and the concubine laughs at the wine"! The wine that entered the court as a tribute was also named: Lunon Smile.

The chaise was drunk

She is "looking back and smiling, and the six palaces have no color" and "three thousand favors in one", but she also fell out of favor for a while and used wine to drown her sorrows, and when she was drunk, she forgot about it and let loose her bones.

Tang Xuanzong made an appointment with Yang Guifei one day before, and ordered her to set up a banquet in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and go to enjoy the flowers and drink together. The next day, Yang Guifei went to the Baihua Pavilion first, prepared the imperial feast and waited for the drive, but when he was waiting to move, Tang Xuanzong's car did not arrive. It's been a long time, it's been a long time. It was reported that the emperor had been fortunate to Concubine Jiang's palace, and Yang Guifei heard the news and was annoyed to death. Yang Guifei is narrow-minded and jealous, especially charming, and women are the most reactive in addition to resentment. So that all kinds of feelings, it was difficult to dispel for a while, and the wine was sad, and the three cups were also drunk, and the spring was blazing, and I couldn't help laughing. So he forgot about it, let loose his bones, and frequently made all kinds of drunkenness with the two eunuchs Gao Lishi and Pei Lishi, and begged for pleasure and obscenity, and he was tired and returned to the palace.

Beauty Secrets

One of the secret techniques: abandon heavy makeup, pay attention to light makeup and sweep, and show the natural beauty of the human body. Tang Dynasty cosmetics, with lead and mercury as the main raw materials, long-term use, will be chronic poisoning, leave brown spots on the face, skin aging. Yang Yuhuan has been a female Taoist priest for five or six years, staying away from heavy makeup, not being harmed by lead and mercury, and later abandoning heavy makeup and pursuing light makeup with moth eyebrows.

Secret Art 2: Hot Spring Bathing and Patting. The Tang Dynasty inherited the customs of the Northern Dynasties, set up a hot spring palace concubine bath, and Huaqing Pool is the most famous one. Legend has it that the hot springs have the effect of dispelling evil spirits and warding off epidemics, and the hot springs are often bathed, and minerals such as sulfur in the hot springs can be used to treat skin diseases, and are recognized by the medical community today. "Song of Long Hatred" wrote: "The spring cold bathes in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is slippery and creamy. The waiter helped up the delicate and weak, and it was the time of the new inheritance. When Yang Guifei bathes in hot springs, she often dips peony bark, mulberry leaves, nettles, etc. into the water, which can calm the nerves, promote skin regeneration, and make it smooth and smooth. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu wrote a poem saying that "out of the bath, too real ice is a shadow". When bathing, Yang Guifei performed the technique of patting, patting the whole body, especially the facial skin, with her hands, so that the acupuncture points around the body were stimulated, and blood circulation was promoted to achieve strength.

The most classic version of Yang Guifei: Lin Fangbing's "Tang Ming Emperor" The beauty effect of skin function.

Secret technique three: Combine peony danpi, almonds, talc, and light powder to make Yang Taizhen red jade green. It is said that after ten days of giving, the complexion is like red jade, which is one of the secret recipes for the beauty of the beautiful women of the past dynasties, and even the later Empress Dowager Cixi also uses it every day. The almonds in this recipe are rich in bitter almond oil, which has a special effect on moisturizing the skin. Light powder is antibacterial, smooth and smooth, they "can be good for hairy tips, and good for drowning". The combination of three medicines has the ability to remove dirt and moisturize, and completely avoid the harm of lead and mercury in traditional beauty products.

Secret technique four: eat lychee, take ginseng, health and beauty invite pets. Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees, everyone knows it. Du Mu has a poem and says: "Chang'an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and the top of the mountain is opened one after another." As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee. "In order to vote for Yang Guifei's favor, Xuanzong ordered post stations around the country to quickly transfer Fujian and Guangxi lychees to Chang'an, how much manpower and financial resources were consumed, just for Yang Guifei to be happy and happy. Lychee, one of the tropical fruits in the south, contains rich nutrition, non-toxic, long-term eating of lychee, good for the heart and spleen, nourishing liver and blood, and benefiting people's color.

The Queen's Mystery

There is a question that has always plagued later generations of scholars, that is, since Tang Xuanzong was so infatuated with Yang Yuhuan at that time, why did Yang Yuhuan always be a noble concubine and not become a queen?

There is no clear record in the history books on this issue, and we can only find and dig clues from the relevant records to make relevant arguments and speculations. Judging from the clues in the historical records, the reason why Tang Xuanzong did not canonize Yang Yuhuan as the queen is likely to be related to his despicable means of obtaining Yang Yuhuan.

According to historical records such as "Old Tang Book", "New Tang Book", and "Zizhi Tongjian", Yang Yuhuan was originally the princess of Tang Xuanzong's son, Shouwang Li Mao, and Tang Xuanzong snatched it from his son through improper means. In July of the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan fell in love at first sight, under the repeated request of Concubine Wu Hui (Li Mao's mother), Tang Xuanzong issued an edict to establish Yang Yuhuan as the princess of Shou, after marriage, the two were unusually sweet, and at this time Tang Xuanzong did not see Yang Yuhuan.

Five years later, Tang Xuanzong saw Yang Yuhuan, and was deeply fascinated by Yang Yuhuan's appearance at first sight, and at this time she had been married to Shouwang Li Mao for almost five years. But Tang Xuanzong didn't care so much, he designed a superficial article, first under the banner of filial piety, saying that he wanted to recommend blessings to his mother Empress Dowager Dou, so he ordered Yang Yuhuan to become a Taoist priest, and gave the Taoist name "Taizhen", and ordered Yang Yuhuan to move out of Shouwang's Mansion and live in Taizhen Palace. Then, he married the daughter of the minister Wei Zhaoxun to Li Mao, the king of Shou, and made her a concubine, in order to appease the king of Shou. Five years later, Yang Yuhuan's precept period expired, and Tang Xuanzong issued an edict to let Yang Yuhuan return to the world, and enter the palace, officially canonized as a concubine, and raised it himself.
