Have you ever heard the poignant story of Mrs. Huzhu? She was born in a famous family, combining beauty and talent, and should have been the most dazzling pearl in the palace, but in the end she withdrew from the competition for favor. Behind the sanctimonious palace walls, what kind of love and hatred is staged? Let us look through the fog of history to explore the bumpy fate of Concubine Mei.
Concubine Mei, whose real name is Mei, was born in a wealthy Jiangnan family on the bank of the Qiantang River. Growing up in thousands of favors since childhood, she is not only outstanding in appearance, but also versatile, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at poetry and songs. A green silk like a waterfall, white skin and beautiful appearance, thin eyebrows, red lips lightly, the most eye-catching is the pair of paint-like beautiful eyes, revealing intelligence and agility. Concubine Mei's beauty lies not only in her charming appearance, but also in her temperament. Every time you smile shallowly, it is like a hundred flowers blooming, which makes people's hearts sway.
In the fourth year of Tianbao (745 AD), Tang Xuanzong Li Longji lost his beloved concubine Wu Huifei, and he was depressed day by day and couldn't sleep at night. The eunuch Gao Lishi was ordered to recruit beauties from all over the world to relieve the king's sorrows, and the beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, Concubine Mei, soon fell into his eyes. If you can get this beauty to serve the emperor, you will definitely be able to make the saint show her joy again.
When Concubine Mei was summoned to the palace, she was at a prime age, only 18 years old. When she first entered the palace, she was like a bud waiting to be released, fresh and refined, and beautiful. One day, with a warm breeze, Concubine Mei walked in the imperial garden, picking up fallen flowers, smelling the fragrance of flowers, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her face with spring, like a fairy descending to earth. At this time, Li Longji, who was very depressed, walked over, and suddenly bumped into Concubine Mei, and suddenly lost his soul, looking at this gentle and virtuous beauty stupidly.
Since Concubine Wu Hui went, he had never seen such a bright-eyed and well-looking woman. Li Longji's heart moved, and he immediately made Concubine Mei a nobleman. Li Longji, who had been lonely for a long time, fell in love at first sight, and soon indulged in Concubine Mei's gentle township, and found some comfort by serving left and right.
Under Concubine Mei's explanation, Li Longji gradually walked out of the haze of mourning concubines. In getting along, Li Longji was pleasantly surprised to find that Concubine Mei was not only beautiful, but also had outstanding talents. Whenever night falls, when the bright moon is in the sky, the two of them will drink wine and talk on the couch, taste tea and discuss poetry, and talk about the past and the present.
Concubine Mei is knowledgeable, sometimes witty and funny, sometimes high-minded in her speech and demeanor, which makes Li Longji refreshed. Above the court, Li Longji often talked about this virtuous concubine with the minister, and was full of praise, bluntly saying that Concubine Mei is a treasure of the country. For a time, Concubine Mei was quite favored and in the limelight.
However, the good times did not last long, and the heavens always seemed unwilling to favor Concubine Mei. In the fifth year of Tianbao (746 AD), Yang Yuhuan, a peerless beauty who moved the world, was called into the palace. It is not an exaggeration to describe Yang Yuhuan as a country and a city, sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and shy flowers. A dance of swords moves in all directions, and every gesture is full of style, and no one can match.
In contrast, Concubine Mei's beauty was overshadowed, like a bright moon meeting a bright sun, and she was instantly compared. Li Longji was very fond of Yang Yuhuan, and was soon canonized as a concubine, pouring all his attention and enthusiasm into her, and snubbing Concubine Mei. Gradually, Concubine Mei found that when she came, Li Longji's eyes always swept over her and fell on Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan always stood beside the emperor in a slim manner, smiling, and showing a charming style in his gestures. The two of them are like glue, you and I are nong, and they turn a blind eye to Concubine Mei. Concubine Mei's heart was tormented, and she was saddened by the sweet times of the past. How she longed for Li Longji to talk about poetry and tea with her as before, however, all this seemed to be a thing of the past.
In order to regain the Sacred Heart and win Li Longji's favor, Concubine Mei can be said to have worked hard. She studied poetry more diligently, chanting day and night, hoping to win the emperor's favor with her full stomach. However, no matter how hard Concubine Mei creates, every word is beautiful, and every sentence is splendid, Li Longji is always lacking in interest and perfunctory.
His heart has long been captured by Yang Guifei's enchanting dancing posture and delicate and tactful singing voice. Concubine Mei gradually felt desperate, in a dilemma, and didn't know what to do. She is talented and unwilling to be left behind, but she has watched the king who once loved her fall in love with another woman. Every time she saw Yang Yuhuan's smug smile, Concubine Mei's heart was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, and she couldn't bear to die. When she woke up on a cold night and looked at the cold bed, she couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears on the pillow.
In this cruel game of competition for favor, Concubine Mei and Yang Yuhuan tried their best to fight for tat, you fight for me. Concubine Mei is conceited and talented, has an arrogant temperament, and never disdains to flatter and please others, let alone deliberately seduce Li Longji. In her eyes, love should be based on appreciation and respect. However, Yang Yuhuan is good at observing words and feelings, and ingratiates himself with the king everywhere.
She is gentle and considerate, tactful, and knows how to capture a man's heart. Whenever Concubine Mei entered the palace, Yang Yuhuan would always deliberately snuggle up in Li Longji's arms, laughing angrily, showing a close and intimate appearance, for fear that others would not know that she had taken all her grace.
Even in terms of beauty and beauty, the two are secretly competing. Mei Fei carefully researched the production of incense powder, collected secret recipes from all over the world, and invented the one made of pearl powder and dendrobium"Hu Zhu"Whitening powder. This pink jade color is warm, moist but not greasy, and exudes a fragrant fragrance. When the ladies of the palace got this secret recipe, they were all overjoyed and rushed to follow suit.
However, is Yang Yuhuan a fuel-efficient lamp? Not to be outdone, she changed her ways to figure out the secrets of beauty, and even did everything she could to please Li Longji, no matter what Li Longji said, she always greeted her with a smile and regarded Li Longji's preferences as a guideline.
Once, at the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet, the moonlight was soft, and Concubine Mei was dressed up to attend, wanting to impress Li Longji with her talent. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished reciting a seven-character quatrain, Yang Yuhuan came over. She pretended to miss and spilled a glass of wine on Concubine Mei's skirt, and the aroma of wine was mixed with ridicule. Concubine Mei endured her anger and humiliation, and sat upright without saying a word.
How could such pediatric tricks get into her eyes? However, the amorous Li Longji only cared about talking and laughing with Yang Yuhuan, turning a blind eye to Concubine Mei's predicament, and even showing an impatient look. At that moment, Concubine Mei felt deep disappointment and chill. The oath of the past has been diluted by time. This man is not worth her sincerity.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755 AD), An Lushan raised troops to rebel, and Chang'an was in danger. Tang Xuanzong, who was in a panic, fled in a hurry with thousands of fans, and Concubine Mei was left in the empty palace because she fell out of favor and failed to go along. Looking at the bleak long street and listening to the sound of the approaching soldiers, Concubine Mei's heart was like ashes. The glory and wealth of the past have become like a dream.
The rebel army finally invaded the palace city, and the rebels swarmed in, clamoring to seize the palace maid, and Concubine Mei knew that the general situation was gone. How could she endure the humiliation of a thief? The haughty and elegant woman made the final decision. She changed into her most beautiful clothes and slowly walked to the lotus pond behind the dormitory. Looking at the calm mirror-like water, thinking back to the bits and pieces of the past, she was gloomy.
That's it, that's it, what's the joy of life, what's the pain of death? All grievances and hatreds are paid into the water. Concubine Mei jumped and threw herself into the pool, but she was dead. Concubine Mei, who was only 28 years old, died in this way and became another martyr of the Li Longji Dynasty.
A generation of beauties has withered, and beauties have been twilight and have no good deaths. Concubine Mei's life can be called a model of a beautiful woman's misfortune. Although she is both talented and beautiful, she will not escape the tricks of fate. As she invented"Hu Zhu", although it can cover up the traces of time, it cannot rewrite the mockery of fate. The lonely lamp in the cold palace, whispering, and the shadow of Grace gradually faded. The legend of Mrs. Huzhu was annihilated in the smoke and dust of history.
