One day, the Southern Qi Emperor Xiao Baojuan accidentally hurt his favorite concubine Pan Yu'er, Pan Yu'er angrily ordered him to kneel on the ground and personally punish him, Xiao Baojuan was not angry, but even begged for forgiveness: "Aifei, I don't dare anymore!" As long as Pan Yu'er likes it, even if it is the moon in the sky, he will try to pick it up and send it to her."
Pan Yu'er's mother was originally a palace concubine of Pan Shufei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wen of Song of the Southern Dynasty, and later the crown prince Liu Ji launched a coup d'état and killed her father to seize the throne, and Pan Shufei committed suicide and died. Pan Yu'er's mother served Shufei for many years, and because of the various benefits of Shufei's life, she used her surname, called Xiaojuan.
At the time of the palace change, Pan Xiaojuan escaped from Qingxi, which flowed from Xuanwu Lake to Rentaicheng and then to Qinhuai. After she escaped, she married Yu Baoqing and gave birth to a baby daughter.
However, Yu Baoqing did not do his job and was idle. Pan Xiaojuan ran away from home with her daughter in a fit of anger, and also changed her daughter to her own surname and named her Yu'er. The mother and daughter float around, selling art to make ends meet.
After several years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, Pan Yu'er learned a lot of kung fu. The skills she performed were often applauded. Aerial cable walking is her specialty. Pan Yu'er turned around and flew into the air on the rope, with a wonderful posture. She walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly one turned upside down, and the person was still standing on the rope, and the audience was simply stunned.
Yu'er was wearing an apricot yellow power suit, which was like the wind swinging on the rope, like a warbler and swallow. She is also very good at dancing swords, holding a sword in each hand, one finger on the right sword, and the left sword follows, from slow to fast, only to see the shadow of the sword, the sword wind is compelling. After watching her wonderful performance, the audience did not give it to each other.
One day, the great general Wang Jingze went on a tour, and when he met a mother and daughter selling art on the road, he couldn't help but praise it. Wang Jing once asked people to find a geisha, but he did not find it for a long time. He saw that Pan Yu'er was not only skilled, but also beautiful and moving. I thought to myself, if I get Pan Yu'er back to be a geisha, I must be likable.
When the crowd dispersed, he rode forward and explained his thoughts, but he was rejected sternly. Wang Jing, seeing that he was not soft, waved his hand and ordered his men to rob people. They pulled Pan Yu'er onto the horse and urged the horse to leave.
However, Pan Yu'er did not stay in the palace for long, because Wang Jing raised an army against the Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan. However, because the more than 100,000 people who followed him were, after all, a ragtag crowd, and had no weapons in their hands, they were quickly beaten to pieces.
Pan Yu'er followed the army, and when the army was defeated, she was wounded and captured by the Qi army. In this way, Pan Yu'er arrived at the palace. Not long after, the Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan died, and the crown prince Xiao Baojuan became emperor.
Baojuan is a young man with a large number of beautiful women, but he likes Pan Yu'er the most. One day, Tianzi played with a group of naughty children and practiced pole climbing.
The treasure scroll edge rod went straight up, up and down three times, Jie was like an ape, and the others all applauded in unison, but Pan Yu'er, who was standing on the side, was not impressed, and sneered: "This is nothing, look at me!" ”
Only to see her like a colorful cloud, flying to the top of the pole, immediately an upside down, white jade-like arms stretched out to the sides, thin waist slightly tilted. Suddenly, she turned over again, and saw that she had one foot independent on the pole, and her other foot was raised above her head, and the two jade hands were in an arc, climbing this foot, just like a fairy, independent of the clouds.
The treasure scroll looked dumbfounded under the pole, and thought to himself: "Such a beautiful person who has fallen in love with the country and has such superb skills, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second person in China!" ”
When she came down from the pole, instead of scolding her for underestimating himself, he grabbed her hands affectionately, carefully examined her for half a day, and finally blurted out: "You are a noble concubine!" From then on, the treasure scroll and Yu'er were inseparable, as long as Pan Yu'er liked it, even if it was the moon in the sky, he would try to pick it up and send it to her.
Pan Yu'er's figure was originally very slender and slender, and when she danced, she really jumped and waved her sleeves, pitched and jumped, lively and unrestrained, and looked at Xiao Baojuan dazzlingly. I overheard a palace maid exclaiming, "The noble concubine is like a hibiscus fairy, jumping on top of the lotus flower." ”
Hearing these words, Xiao Baojuan had a clever move, and suddenly he had a whim, he let Yu'er stop the dance steps and said to her: "Your dance style is really moving, but this kind of dance is too ordinary and has no meaning." Come up with a plan: let people make a lotus-shaped sheet of gold, similar in size to your footboard, and then place it on the ground according to a certain pattern, and you dance on the golden lotus. What do you mean?"
I can't imagine that after this hedonistic tianzi has played enough of the vulgar, this time I also want to play elegant! When Pan Yu'er heard it, she also felt quite curious and said, "You might as well try it." ”
That night, Pan Yu'er began to practice. She ordered people to draw many lotus patterns on the ground, and then tried to dance on the patterns.
With the sound of beautiful music, Yu'er walked to the scene with broken steps, dancing with the beat. Pan Yu'er's thin waist swings, jumps to wave her sleeves, soars back to the wind, agile as a swallow, and her feet are always impartially placed on the golden lotus.
She is barefoot and dancing, her feet are like jade, stepping on golden lotuses, golden and jade are shining, and the brilliance is dazzling. The faster she dances, the faster she dances, and the dance steps and the lotus flower become one, like a lotus fairy dancing in the air. The eyes of the palace people all looked straight, and they all admired: "The steps under the feet give birth to lotuses, and people are more beautiful than lotuses." ”
This is the origin of the allusion of "step by step lotus". The Tang Dynasty li shangyin once had a poem cloud: "Whoever said that Qiong Shu was going to see the court, it was not as good as the golden lotus step by step"!
Hundreds of years later, Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the official niang introduced the old and new, adding a new trick on the basis of "step by step to produce lotus flowers", turning the golden lotus piece into a golden lotus flower with a height of six feet, and for the convenience of dancing, the lady opened a precedent for women to wrap their feet. However, this "head skill" should still be attributed to Pan Yu'er, without her step-by-step lotus, would Lady Miao have a new trick of dancing on the lotus?
Xiao Baojuan played and played all day long, absurd in government affairs, and became the emperor of the subjugated country within a few days. However, several of his great "inventions" in court life, especially the "step-by-step lotus", made him stand out.
Pan Jinlian in the Ming Dynasty erotic novels, the name contains the meaning of beauty and small feet. Taking Pan as the surname and Jin Lian as the name is not unexpected to abruptly Pan Yu'er, but it also shows Pan Yu'er's influence on future generations.
