In the book "The Romantic History of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty", Mrs. Xuanhua was originally the daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan. She was intelligent, graceful and graceful, with the appearance of a fish sinking into a geese, and a moonlit moon shying flowers.
When the jealous Empress Dugu died, Emperor Wen's palace became lonely. He searched the harem and planned to select beautiful women to accompany him in his old age.
The beautiful Mrs. Xuanhua was naturally chosen and has been favored ever since. They feasted every day, laughed and sang all the time, and were very happy.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After all, Emperor Wen was still in his sixties. He indulged in sex and was tired from political affairs. After catching a slight cold one day, he was bedridden. Mrs. Xuanhua stayed with him at the bedside and took care of Emperor Wen's medicine.

Mrs. Xuanhua in the film and television drama
One day Yang Guang entered the palace to greet Emperor Wen. Xuanhua could not avoid it for a while, so he had to say goodbye hurriedly. Yang Guang was a hungry ghost in his lust. When he saw Xuanhua, his soul had already disappeared and he kept peeking at him.
But I saw Xuanhua's " You are graceful and graceful, vaguely like Yue Kingdom Xi Shi; gentle and light, absolutely better than the Zhao family's Hede. She is so beautiful that she is ecstatic, and her face is radiant. She is really charming when she looks back and smiles, and the six palaces are pink and white. Color. "
Yang Guang peeked for a long time, his heart was burning with desire, but because of Emperor Wen's obstruction, he didn't dare to say anything and couldn't do anything. He came up with a plan, walked out of the palace, and stood on the main road of the branch palace to wait. He knew that Xuanhua would pass by this road when he left the palace, so that he could flirt with her when he bumped into her.
Xuanhua had worked hard to take care of Emperor Wen for days and wanted to rest in the harem, so he asked the palace people to wait on him and quietly walked out of the palace.
As soon as he reached the intersection of Fenggong, he was caught by Yang Guang and teased. Xuanhua scolded him sternly, but Yang Guang was still lustful and even started to pull off his clothes. In the clear sky and white sun, in the palace, fornication is actually going to happen.
Xuanhua was panicking, his face flushed with anxiety. Seeing that he could not reach the harem, he had to quickly retreat back to Emperor Wen's palace. Because he was walking in a hurry, a gold hairpin on his head was caught by a curtain hook and fell on a gold basin. The sound of a clang suddenly woke up Emperor Wen.
02
Emperor Wen opened his eyes and saw Xuanhua panicking, and asked why he was so panicked. Xuanhua didn't dare to tell the truth at first, so he just talked casually without panicking.
Emperor Wen looked strange when he saw it, his face was still flushed, he was breathing heavily in his mouth and nose, and his hair was loose and his clothes were messy. He said angrily: "If you don't tell me, you must have hidden feelings, I will give you death."
Seeing Emperor Wen's anger, Xuanhua had no choice but to kneel down and stop the prince at the intersection of the Fen Palace. He wanted to commit adultery and tell the truth. Tell each other.
After hearing this, Emperor Wen was so angry that he was stunned and shouted, "This beast is so shapeless, how can it be trusted by the country! It's all because Empress Dugu and Yang Su misunderstood me."
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret! Emperor Wen wanted to declare Yang Yong to the palace and establish him as the new emperor. Unexpectedly, Yang Guang became friends with Yang Su and murdered Emperor Wen and Yang Yong. With Yang Su's help, Yang Guang ascended the throne as emperor.
03
Xuanhua was horrified when he heard that Emperor Wen died and Yang Guang ascended the throne. When I think about something in the palace, I don't eat or sleep. I can't even sit or lie down at ease.
I thought for a moment, I have received great kindness from the late emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to repay it with my death today.
thought again for a while: Although Yang Guang became the emperor, I am his concubine, but I can't do anything with him.
I thought again for a while, I just avoided him yesterday and didn't hurt him, so it doesn't matter.
Xuanhua's thoughts are all because he hopes to survive, but also hopes to keep a distance from Yang Guang and not mess with ethics.
In just one day, Xuanhua had all kinds of plans and thoughts in his mind. Never made up my mind.
When the sun was calm, I suddenly saw an emissary coming with a gold box in his hand. He told Xuanhua that the new emperor had given his wife something, which she had hidden in a box, and she asked her to take it for herself.
Xuanhua took it and saw that the gold box was sealed with imperial seals on all sides, and there was an imperial monogram on the opening.
wondered if it was poison and asked the emissary. The emissary just said that he didn't know and asked the empress to open it and find out.
Xuanhua was sure it was poison. Suddenly he felt sad and burst into tears. He cried loudly: "I remember that my family was dead and kidnapped, and I have been fighting to die in the court. I have been favored by the late emperor, and it is only for this life." Fortunately, who knew that the beauty's fate would turn into a catastrophe. Thinking about it, it would be better to end up in the alley of Changmen, and still have to save his life.
One said, one cried, another cried, and the other said, "I have received great kindness from the late emperor, and I am willing to die today." But I hate what happened yesterday, my status is at stake, I can tolerate losing my virginity and fall into chaos, but why do I suddenly die? Although the concubine is shapeless, the divine grace is not generous. "
It can be seen that he feels a lot of regret. Although Xuanhua said that he would die with the late emperor, what he wanted more was to live. This is why he mistakenly thought that death was a gift and cried and said it.

Palace officials also They all thought it was poison and cried together. The inner messenger was afraid of causing trouble, so he urged Xuanhua to open the gold box.
Xuanhua felt relieved when he saw that Yangdi couldn't forget his feelings, and he felt unhappy, so he turned around and sat on the bed, silent. He was urged to reply, but Xuanhua still just bowed his head and said nothing. Under the persuasion of the palace officials, Xuanhua had no choice but to accept the order with a sigh to express his gratitude.
Although he accepted the agreement, Xuanhua was still unhappy. After sitting for a while, Emperor Yang fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Emperor Yang was filled with joy when he learned that Xuanhua had accepted the knot, and secretly brought a few palace guests to see Xuanhua in the evening.
Hua was supported and pulled by several palace people, and when he saw Yangdi, Xuanhua was ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't dare to resist.
Emperor Yang saw that Xuanhua was soft and pitiful, and the more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her. He spoke softly and did not force anyone to do anything. Xuanhua's feelings gradually moved, and he saw that Emperor Yang was very romantic and affectionate, so he moved his mind. That night, he fell in love with Wen Yuan. The emperor withdrew from the court and stayed in the Empress Xiao's palace for a while, then went east to west. Later, Duodao had a tryst with Xuanhua. Empress Xiao was in the main palace of Emperor Yang. When he was in the East Palace, he slept and ate with Emperor Yang, and they stayed together day and night. At first. It was assumed that Emperor Yang was newly mourned and wanted to stay alone in another palace, so he didn't care about him. Later, he sent someone to inquire and found out that he was lewd in Xuanhua Palace every night, which made Emperor Yang very angry. When he came to the palace, Empress Xiao started arguing with Emperor Yang, and threatened to tell the officials about Emperor Yang's scandal if Xuanhua was not punished.
Emperor Yang had no choice but to agree. When they arrived at Xuanhua Palace, everyone was happy in the past, but today they looked sad and unhappy. Emperor Yang asked about the reason for the quarrel with Empress Xiao.
The emperor gave him a free official court outside the imperial city, so that Emperor Yang could avoid his temporary thoughts and avoid causing trouble again. Emperor Yang was reluctant at first, but later he saw that Xuanhua was sincere and the queen had to worry about it, so he ordered the immortal to be sent to him. The palace was cleaned and Xuanhua was allowed to live there.

After Xuanhua left the palace, Emperor Yang either sighed, or talked to himself. Xuanhua, Xuanhua is all in my sleep. He was moody and moody. After a few words of comfort from Empress Xiao, he changed his color and made all sorts of noises in the palace. The palace servants and the eunuchs suffered a lot. It was as simple as a palm or as serious as a cone. When he was angry, he killed many people. .
Empress Xiao saw that Emperor Yang was in love with him and missed Xuanhua blindly, so she had no choice but to agree to Emperor Yang summoning Xuanhua into the palace.
Emperor Yang was overjoyed and immediately sent Pegasus to summon Xuanhua.
After Xuanhua left the palace, he felt at ease. When the palace attendants came to announce the order, Xuanhua refused to return to the palace. He took out a piece of luan paper and wrote the following inscription:
The red color has become thin, and the margin has become thin. Thank you for the spring breeze blowing to the ground, but the remaining flowers are difficult to grow on the branches.
If you gain favor or lose favor, how long will it last? Afraid of separation.
It turned out that Xuanhua was afraid that Emperor Yang would abandon him again and was unwilling to enter the palace. Yangdi read the poem and wrote a poem:
The rain is not thin, the dew is not thin. May the spring breeze blow day and night, and plant thousand-year-old branches.
There is no doubt about kindness, and there is no doubt about love. One day for twelve hours of joy, who can live or die?
Xuanhua saw the words and knew that Yangdi was sincerely affectionate. Unexpectedly, he could not refuse him, so he had to apply powder, paint on the eyebrows, dress up charmingly, and enter the palace.

Without Empress Xiao’s obstruction, Yangdi and Xuanhua were happy day and night, and their affection was ten times stronger than before.Today I enjoy flowers, and tomorrow night I play with the moon. In the end, I just drink wine, compose poems, and have fun in the palace.
Suddenly one day, Xuanhua fell ill and was bedridden. Emperor Yang went to visit him and saw Xuanhua sleeping there in a daze without saying a word.
asked about the cause of the disease and Xuanhua said it was not due to heat or cold. Why exactly? It turned out that after returning to the palace the night before, Xuanhua fell asleep and dreamed that a palace servant came with an order and said that the emperor was in the palace and ordered the empress to leave quickly. Xuanhua only said that it was Emperor Yang who called for Xuan, and he hurriedly followed the palace people. When he arrived at the palace, he suddenly saw the late emperor sitting on it. Bo, how come my corpse is not cold yet, you are committing adultery in the palace?"
Xuanhua was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He was speechless and could only refute that it was Emperor Yang who forced him to do so. The late emperor said, "He will naturally come to see me thirteen years later. I can't spare you today." He hit Xuanhua on the head with agarwood Ruyi, and Xuanhua suddenly woke up. It was just a dream, but I had a crushing headache and was in a daze. When I closed my eyes, I saw the palace man coming to summon me.
Emperor Yang comforted him, and Hou Xiao later visited and comforted him again.
Emperor Yang called the imperial doctors to see him early in the morning, and everyone said that Xuanhua was suffering from terminal illness. After suffering for another two or three days, Xuanhua died.
Alas, it is really like " we are happy for a few days, but we will be ruined forever "
Summary
Xuanhua is also a poor woman, she is a princess, but her fate is bumpy, and she ends up being infamous throughout the ages.
Under the feudal autocratic system, women have always been the subject of power and cannot help themselves. Even living a simple and innocent life has become a luxury.
Xuanhua is not unethical. This can be seen from the fact that she rejected Yang Guang at the beginning and scolded him harshly. However, overnight, Emperor Wen, who doted on her, died, and Yang Guang, who was obsessed with her, succeeded to the throne.
Xuanhua has become a duckweed, not knowing where to settle down. She wanted to live, but she didn't want to have incest with Yangdi.
Reality does not allow her to make a choice. Under the urging of the palace people, although she accepted Tongxinkou, she still resisted passively. After all, she was a weak woman, so how could she stand up to Emperor Yang who stood at the pinnacle of power.
Empress Xiao's opposition gave Xuanhua hope. He thought he could escape from the palace and stay away from Yang Guang. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yang was obsessed with her and announced her entry into the palace again. Xuanhua resisted with one word, but under Yangdi's obsession, she compromised again.
Emperor Wen's accusation against her in his dream was not a lingering nightmare deep in her heart.
She couldn't let go of ethics and morality, and couldn't wholeheartedly enjoy the glory and wealth brought by taking refuge in Yang Guang.
While having fun with Yang Guang, she thought that she was his concubine, but she did such a promiscuous thing, and she would despise herself. The ambivalence of being a bitch and building a memorial arch made her breathless.
She had a cowardly character and lacked the courage to die, which ultimately made her a burial object under the feudal autocratic system!
