reviously, we talked about the wealthy heiress Wang Yunxiu, who went from being the daughter of a famous general to the wife of Prime Minister Yuan Zai. With various accolades, she was undoubtedly a clear winner in life, but in the end, she was implicated and died by her husband. The person we are going to talk about today is the concubine taken by Wang Yunxiu’s husband. After Yuan Zai was executed, his first wife Wang Yunxiu chose to die rather than succumb to the chaos, but the concubine turned around and threw herself into someone else’s arms. She is Xue Yaoying! Today, the history encyclopedia editor will tell her story. Interested friends, let’s take a look together!
Xue Yaoying was a beloved concubine of the famous Tang Dynasty statesman Yuan Zai. It is said that she was incredibly beautiful, even the famous beauties in history, such as Green Pearl and Zhao Feiyan, were not as beautiful as her. Xue Yaoying must be a stunning beauty, otherwise she wouldn’t have been included in the palace by the current prime minister.
Xue Yaoying is stunningly beautiful, skilled in poetry and literature, skilled in singing and dancing, with a fairy like appearance and delicate body. She always carries a fragrant scent that Yuan Zai cannot put down and spends his days drinking and playing with her. Yuan Zai also specially brought Xue Yaoying clothes woven from dragon silk, which were as thin as cicada wings, less than two or three taels. Xue Yaoying danced gracefully in this dress in the Yuan mansion, and Yuan Zai even invited relatives and relatives to come and watch.
From a poor young man from a humble family to a renowned prime minister of the current dynasty, Yuan Zai has drifted away. He has become accustomed to a life of debauchery and extravagance, and his wife wrote poetry to advise him not to indulge in alcohol and sex, which Yuan Zai did not listen to. Later, Yuan Zai angered Emperor Tang and was ordered to be executed. His sons were all killed, and his female relatives were forced to do menial work in the palace. Wang Yunxiu would rather die than surrender, with an aura no less than that of General Li Guang, and was ultimately beaten to death. However, Xue Yaoying, the favored concubine of Yuan Zai, turned around and became someone else’s concubine, and there is no record of her later actions.
