In today’s society, being thin is considered beautiful, but in the Tang Dynasty, being plump was considered beautiful. We all know that compared to other dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was more open, so women at that time were more daring in dressing. It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as the aesthetic standard of beauty that Yang Yuhuan, a woman with a plump figure, became a benchmark for beauty. Not only that, her appearance was also very beautiful, so she became Emperor Xuanzong’s favorite Yang Guifei.
Although Yang Guifei was beautiful, she had an unspeakable physiological defect that was unbearable but fascinated by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. It is said that Yang Guifei has a strange smell on her body, which is what we call body odor. Body odor becomes even stronger when sweating, so people tend to stay away from her. The smell on Yang Guifei’s body is naturally very clear to the palace maids around her, but of course, Yang Guifei definitely doesn’t want others to know,
So she must have given a password to the people around her.
But how can this be hidden? In order to change this defect, Yang Guifei searched everywhere for ways to alleviate the odor on her body. Not only that, she also asked the emperor to find various spices for her. However, the mixture of spices and her scent became even more difficult to accept, and over time, no concubine liked to be with her anymore.
This method doesn’t work, so she often goes to take a shower to relieve the smell on her body. There are many petals floating in the water of Huaqing Pool, which is very fragrant, so she often goes there to take a shower, but even so, it cannot completely eliminate the smell on her body.
But Tang Xuanzong did not get tired of her because of this, instead he liked the scent on her very much. Yang Guifei not only had a scent on her body, but also often snored while sleeping due to her plump figure. However, this had a calming and purifying effect on Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who even favored beautiful women. Emperor Xuanzong not only did not pay attention but also liked Yang Yuhuan even more.
Yang Guifei often troubled by this, and Tang Xuanzong often comforted her and searched for various spices to win Yang Yuhuan’s favor. This shows that Tang Xuanzong was also a devoted man.
