There are few children recorded in the sui dynasty emperor Yang Guang's historical records, and the prototype of Princess Ruyi is Princess Yang of the children of the Sui Emperor. Princess Ruyi was Li Shimin's concubine, a royal woman who had experienced two dynasties, what was her life like?
Princess Ruyi, birth mother is unknown, some wild history records are born to the concubines of the Ruyi Sui Emperor, some say that they were born to lower-ranking concubines, and few think that they were born to Empress Xiao. The only thing we can be sure of is that Princess Ruyi is the biological daughter of the Sui Emperor. As the last princess of the Sui Dynasty, although she has a noble bloodline, the combination with Li Shimin is still worth exploring. Princess Ruyi and Li Shimin's grandmother were the daughters of Dugu Xin, and Princess Ruyi was Li Shimin's cousin, a typical political marriage union during the Sui Dynasty. The first son of Li Shimin and Princess Ruyi was a fusion of the two dynasties, and the nobility of this status can be described as unprecedented and unprecedented. But in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Ruyi and her son have been living in silence.
Princess Ruyi was a nobleman, that is, Li Shimin's side room, who was still the King of Qin at that time. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's southern conquest of the northern war was greatly contributed, and Li Shimin also had a long time to seize the wife. The subsequent change of Xuanwumen also verified Li Shimin's ambitions. Princess Ruyi was given the title of Princess Yang and re-entered the former imperial palace. The once familiar home has become the current home, still the same building, but the owner has changed.

In the Sui and Tang Heroes hit stills, Princess Ruyi's ending is to cut her hair and become a nun after returning to the vulgar, and Li Shimin, who is in love, is with Li Shimin. The truth of history is often cruel. Princess Ruyi and Li Shimin had two sons, Li Ke and Li Yan, who became victims of the political struggle of the Tang Dynasty. Princess Ruyi was Princess Yang, and the second half of her life is not recorded in the historical records. As a princess of the fallen country, she married into the imperial palace.
Princess Ruyi was not of high status in either the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty. From the time Emperor Wen of Sui did not accompany him like Princess Nanyang on the edge of the palace, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan married the former princess to Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin at the time, as a concubine, and was not yet a proper wife. In the eyes of her husband Li Shimin, Princess Ruyi did not pay much attention, we can see from the birth year of Princess Ruyi's son, Ruyi was pregnant during the period of filial piety, and in ancient times, when her father died, she had to keep filial piety for 27 months. Not even giving the opportunity to keep filial piety is enough to show that Princess Ruyi is not valued. When Li Shimin ascended the throne, Princess Ruyi was also not favored, and during the Zhenguan period, the other princes were all 800 households, while only 600 households and 400 households were born in the Ruyi group, which was treated differently.
The honor and disgrace of Princess Ruyi has always been implicated with Yang Guang, Li Shimin and her son, which can be said to be her life without freedom. Her life experienced the demise of the Sui Dynasty and the founding of the Tang Dynasty, from a generation of imperial daughters to imperial concubines, in which the wandering and hardships left us with unlimited reverie.
