When it comes to Princess Yongtai, what does everyone think of? Below, the History Encyclopedia editor will introduce the historical deeds of this person to you.
In recent years, a series of ancient costume palace TV dramas have emerged one after another, leaving many viewers dazzled and unsure which TV drama to watch first. In most of these TV dramas, the stories are about the back and forth struggles between concubines and concubines in the imperial harem of ancient emperors for favor. Among them, many viewers expressed their desire to travel back to ancient times and become a noble royal princess after watching the TV series, but not every princess can achieve a happy life and happy ending. The woman we are going to talk about today, although she is a princess, her ending is not very tragic.
This princess is Princess Yongtai, the seventh daughter of Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian during the Tang Dynasty. The name of Princess Yongtai is Li Xianhui. This princess has been very intelligent and beautiful since childhood, and can be considered as the “flower of peach and plum, inferior to others”. Therefore, after Princess Yongtai was born, she was loved by her father Li Xian and can be said to be the pearl in Li Xian’s palm. When Princess Yongtai grew up and reached the age for marriage, Li Xian married his precious daughter to Wu Yanji as his wife. Originally, Princess Yongtai thought she could have a happy life, but unfortunately, things are unpredictable.
Not long after Princess Yongtai married her husband, she actually lived a very happy life, and not long after, Princess Yongtai also successfully became pregnant. After Princess Yongtai became pregnant, both the couple were very happy and looking forward to the arrival of the child. Little did they know that this pregnancy was the tragic beginning for Princess Yongtai. On the night before Princess Yongtai gave birth, her husband Wu Yanji was killed for disobeying Empress Wu. On the day Princess Yongtai gave birth, the woman unfortunately experienced difficult childbirth and ultimately died of excessive bleeding.
But in fact, the cause of Princess Yongtai’s death has become another mystery. People speculate that Princess Yongtai was implicated by her husband and suffered difficult childbirth during her birth, ultimately leading to her unfortunate death. Li Xian was deeply saddened by the history of his beloved daughter. In order to console Princess Yongtai’s spirit in heaven, Li Xian ordered the construction of an extremely luxurious princess tomb for her. Even more amazing is that a thousand years later, archaeologists accidentally discovered the tomb of Princess Yongtai. In addition to countless gold, silver, and jewels found in the tomb, they also discovered a man inside. However, the man had already passed away, and after expert speculation, it was believed that he was a grave robber, which is also a self inflicted consequence.
