Isn’t Yang Yuhuan Princess Shou How did it become (Yang Yuhuan loves Shouwang or Li Longji) again

The story of Yang Guifei and Tang Emperor Li Longji is well-known, and many people believe that there was a sincere love between Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong. But most people forget one thing, which is that Yang Yuhuan, the Noble Consort of Tang Xuanzong, was once his daughter-in-law before becoming his Noble Consort. Yang Yuhuan and Tang Xuanzong’s youngest son, Shouwang Mao, were married. And they fell in love at first sight, so the question arises, who does Yang Yuhuan love more between the married couple Shouwang Mao and his father Emperor Xuanzong of Tang?
Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan fell in love at first sight
In fact, even before Emperor Xuanzong of Tang set his sights on Yang Yuhuan, she was the wife of Prince Shou Mao, who was the youngest son of Emperor Xuanzong and deeply loved by him. In the autumn of the 20th year of the Kaiyuan reign of the Tang Dynasty (732 AD), Emperor Xuanzong of Tang went to Luoyang for inspection, accompanied by his young son Shouwang Mao. At that time, Shouwang Mao was 18 years old and Yang Yuhuan was 16 years old.
When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang passed through Puzhou, Shouwang Mao went to play at Pujiu Temple in Puzhou, and coincidentally Yang Yuhuan also went there to offer incense. At the age of 16, it was a girl’s flower season. Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan are both in their adolescence, and they met at first sight. At that time, Shouwang Mao gave Yang Yuhuan a jade flute as a token. Promise Yang Yuhuan to return to the capital and report to the Emperor, and marry Yang Yuhuan according to the ritual system.
Yang Yuhuan was also very moved at that time and said to Shouwangmao, “I hope you know your appearance, so please don’t betray my heart.” This shows that Shouwangmao and Yang Yuhuan have been secretly committed for life. In the end, Yang Yuhuan and Prince Shou Mao were the matchmakers provided by Prince Ning. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang issued an imperial decree, allowing Prime Minister Li Linfu to bring the decree to Puzhou to confer the title of Princess Shou upon Yang Yuhuan. The combination of Shouwang Mao and Yang Yuhuan is completely out of love and legitimate. It can be said that they should have lived a happy and fulfilling life together.
Tang Xuanzong fell in love with Yang Yuhuan
Human affairs are always so unsatisfactory, perhaps because Shouwang Mao and Yang Yuhuan are too happy, they have been envied by heaven. In the sixth year of marriage between this young couple. Before the seven-year itch, when the two were deeply in love, Empress Wu Huifei of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang passed away due to illness. In fact, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang loved Empress Wu Huifei very much.
Since the death of Empress Wu Hui, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang could no longer find anyone to replace her. The ministers saw that Li Longji was always depressed and anxious. At this moment, the son-in-law Yang Hui saw that the wife of Prince Shou Mao, Yang Yuhuan, was stunning, so he recommended Yang Yuhuan to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. It can be said that the son-in-law Yang Hui is really a villain of Shouwang Mao and Yang Yuhuan. If it weren’t for his talkative words, Li Longji wouldn’t have remembered this at all.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Li Longji slapped his thigh, yes! The beauty is far away and right in front of us, and her daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan is the most beautiful. Afterwards, as we are familiar with, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, began to plan step by step and ultimately succeeded in turning his daughter-in-law into his noble consort. And it also made a grand scene. Bai Juyi, these ignorant literati, also followed suit and wrote a song called ‘Song of Everlasting Regret’ to praise the love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan.
Who does Yang Yuhuan love more in her heart
Whether there is love between Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji or not, others have no right to draw conclusions. It depends on the parties involved. Li Longji doesn’t need to ask, as long as he looks good, he loves him. The most crucial thing is whether Yang Yuhuan loves Tang Xuanzong Li Longji or not, or even if Yang Yuhuan has such a little love for Li Longji, after all, love grows over time. Who loves Yang Yuhuan more than her husband Shou Wangmao and Li Longji? We can draw conclusions from some details.
Firstly, Shouwang Mao and Yang Yuhuan had a son, while Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji, even after being together for so many years, still had no offspring. It is said that one time Yang Guifei became pregnant but had a miscarriage. It is unknown whether Yang Guifei did it intentionally. Children are the crystallization of their parents’ love, and it is strange that Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji did not even have a descendant at that time.
Furthermore, we know that lychee is the most delicious in Guangdong and Fujian, but why does Yang Yuhuan insist on eating lychee from Sichuan? After Yang Yuhuan was conferred the title of Noble Consort by Li Longji, Shouwangmao was sent to Yizhou, Sichuan by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang with the aim of cutting off Yang Yuhuan and Shouwangmao. So Yang Yuhuan chose to eat Sichuan lychee, which actually expressed her longing for her husband. As the saying goes, seeing things makes one think of people.
Du Mu’s saying goes, ‘When the Red Dust Concubine smiles, no one knows it’s lychee coming.’. The reason behind it is that Yang Yuhuan misses Shouwang Mao, and it is common for people nowadays to eat lychee. Yang Guifei, as a noble consort of a country, has never tasted any delicacies from mountains and seas. How can she be so excited about a lychee. She smiled happily when she saw Litchi because it carried her longing for her husband Shouwangmao.
But as a weak woman, what can she do in the face of the strong Tang Xuanzong? If one expresses unhappiness, it is very likely to end the life of Shouwang Mao. So the final conclusion is that Yang Yuhuan still deeply loves her married husband Shouwangmao. Between Tang Xuanzong and Li Longji, it was just a compromise and a show.
