Xiao Baojuan, also known as the Marquis of Dongxiao, was the second son of Xiao Luan, the sixth emperor of Qi in the Southern Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Qi Ming Emperor. The absurdity of Xiao Baojuan's life is jaw-dropping, only you dare not think, there is nothing he does not dare to do. Xiao Baojuan liked to do some strange things since he was a child, and when he found that there were rats in the palace, he took the eunuch palace ladies to catch rats all night long. He likes to use his teeth to carry things when he wants to do miscellaneous things, even if his teeth fall out. After Xiao Baojuan succeeded Napan Yu'er as a concubine, what he did was even more absurd.
Pan Yu'er was Princess Pan's niece, and Xiao Baojuan was raised by Princess Pan due to the early death of her birth mother. Pan Yu'er was originally surnamed Yu, and after Xiao Bao rolled her to change her surname to Pan, she not only looked moving, but her singing and dancing skills were more good, so Xiao Bao Roll was very fond of her after getting Pan Yu'er, and stuck with her all day, taking Pan Yu'er everywhere, naturally willing to do anything for her. Even Xiao Baojuan squandered the national treasury for Pan Yu'er.
Xiao Bao's expenditure on Pan Yu'er's body was extremely luxurious, and all of Pan Yu'er's clothes and hand ornaments were the most precious, and they were basically used only once. Xiao Baojuan even built three splendid palaces for Pan Yu'er alone, namely the Hall of Immortals, the Hall of Yongshou, and the Hall of Jade Shou. After the palace was built, Xiao Baojuan ordered people to paste lotus petals made of pure gold on the ground, xiao Baojuan looked at the beautiful and moving Pan Yu'er walking on it, and could not help but exclaim, "This step gives birth to lotus flowers." And the idiom of step-by-step lotus is also derived from this. It is strange that the national treasury is not empty.
Although Pan Yu'er now enjoys all the glory and wealth, she came from a city well, so she often misses the life of the outside market. After Xiao Baojuan knew about it, he ordered people to build a street in the palace, which was no different from the outside market, there were shops and liquor stores, and Xiao Baojuan ordered the palace eunuchs to dress up as merchants and citizens to sell on both sides of the street and walk back and forth. He also let Pan Yu'er be the market administrator, act as his deputy, and if there was a dispute between the buyers and sellers, he would bring it to Pan Yu'er and let Pan Yu'er deal with it. Xiao Baohuan's move made Pan Yu'er very happy.
Moreover, Pan Yu'er also has a privilege, if Xiao Baojuan makes Pan Yu'er unhappy, Pan Yu'er has the right to let people scold Xiao Baojuan, and Xiao Baojuan is happy in it. Xiao Baojuan also built a wine shop, in which he was the owner of the shop to personally cut meat and sell meat, while Pan Yu was the boss lady in it to serve tea and sell wine, and the two had a lot of fun. Another time, Xiao Baojuan came to the Reading Martial Hall, he felt that the name of the Reading Martial Hall was not good, and the environment was too shabby, so he renamed the Reading Hall fangle garden, and asked people to renovate it, and also asked people to dig willow trees everywhere to transplant them into the garden. Therefore, the folk have a folk song "Reading the Martial Arts Hall, Planting Willows." Supreme slaughter meat, Pan Fei Gu wine". The two really played the inner courtyard of the palace to the extreme.
Although Xiao Baojuan was very fond of Pan Yu'er, he was slightly dissatisfied with the ministers of the DPRK and was immediately executed, and killed many loyal generals. Xiao Baojuan's various actions eventually led to the yongzhou assassination of Shi Xiaoyan, and finally Xiao Baojuan was beheaded by the eunuch Zhang Qi while fleeing the palace. Later, Pan Yu'er, because she was bent on keeping the festival for Xiao Baojuan, vowed to die from marrying the general Tian Anqi, and hanged herself. It is not a pity that Xiao Baojuan died so faintly, but Pan Yu'er's discipline of not following his death was also touching, and later Su Dongpo once lamented that "The jade slave will not live up to the eastern dusk."
