Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. This is Bai Juyi's Yang Guifei, he used incomparable talent and poetry to describe her showing a thousand charms and tenderness when she smiled, and the other concubines in the six palaces lost their color.
Similarly, Li Bai was not stingy about Yang Guifei's beauty, and wrote the famous sentence "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon".

This may be a big problem for ordinary people, but for Yang Guifei, this is a difficult problem to solve. However, she is not one to sit idly by, and in order to solve the problem, she begins to look for various solutions.
In ancient times, due to limited sanitary conditions, many people had the problem of fox odor. And Yang Guifei, as a concubine in the palace, will have more natural resources than ordinary people. In order to cover up this imperfection, she came up with a solution: she bathed with flower petals every day and also applied various spices to her body. This not only masks the smell of fox odor, but also gives off an attractive aroma.
So, whenever night falls, the concubine will soak in the pool full of flowers, and the fragrant bath water not only makes her skin more delicate, but also hides the smell of foxes.
It is said that Yang Guifei is particularly fond of roses and jasmine, because these two flowers are not only fragrant, but also have good beauty effects.
After solving the problem of fox odor, Yang Guifei can be said to be flawless, right? No, there is another problem waiting for her! According to historical records, Yang Guifei will snore when she sleeps. This snoring sound can be described as an "earth-shaking sound", and even Tang Xuanzong can hear it clearly.
However, Tang Xuanzong is also a person who understands the "joy of life", he feels that the snoring of the concubine is like a beautiful music, and he falls asleep when he listens to it.
For Tang Xuanzong, the existence of Yang Guifei is a beautiful enjoyment. Her fox smell and snoring instead became a unique symbol, which made Tang Xuanzong remember her more deeply. He even felt that these small flaws made Yang Guifei more cute and real.
