Yang Guifei is one of the four beauties of ancient China, about her posture, the famous Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once wrote a famous poem for her, "QingPing Tune I", "Yun wants to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." If it were not for the jade mountain head, it would be to the Yaotai Moon." Probably means that if Yang Guifei is not a fairy on the Jade Mountain, it can only be seen in the palace Yaotai where the Queen Mother of the West lives. Of course, Yang Yuhuan is not just a vase, in addition to having a proud posture, she is also a musician and dancer of the Tang Dynasty, and her "Neon Dress Feather Dance", presumably everyone has heard of it, and can be so knowledgeable and can sing and dance, thanks to the superior educational environment in her childhood. Yang Guifei, who was both internal and external, had been favored by Tang Xuanzong for eleven years, and it was reasonable to say that she should have opened up branches and leaves for the imperial family, but why had she not given birth to a son and a daughter for Tang Xuanzong in the past eleven years?
Yang Guifei, whose real name was Yang Yuhuan, was a Han Chinese, born in the seventh year of the New Century (719), her father Yang Xuanyan was the Shuzhou Sihu of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan spent time in Shuzhou before the age of ten, and then his father unfortunately died, and the third uncle Yang Xuanhuan rushed from Luoyang to Shuzhou to take care of the aftermath, and then took Yang Yuhuan to Luoyang.
Luoyang was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, extremely prosperous, the third uncle Yang Xuanhuan was also a dynasty official, he loved his niece Yang Yuhuan very much, raised her as his own daughter, and provided her with a superior educational environment, which led to Yang Guifei, who could sing and dance and know the rhythm of music.
Yang Yuhuan was not only Tang Xuanzong's husband in her life, her first husband was Tang Xuanzong's eighteenth son Shou Wang - Li Mao, Li Mao's mother was Wu Huifei, Wu Huifei was also one of Tang Xuanzong's favorite concubines, so does it sound a bit chaotic, yes, Tang Xuanzong married his son's wife as a concubine, then he did this, is he not afraid of being ridiculed by the people of the world? As the king of a country, as long as it is what you want, there is nothing you can't get.
Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao were married under the mediation of Concubine Wu Hui, but the two were married for five years and had no children under their knees, and it may be because of this that Tang Xuanzong could marry Yang Yuhuan with confidence. Because if Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao have children, then their mother and their grandfather are married, how should they call their mother? It's also very embarrassing to think about.
In the twenty-eighth year of the new century (740), Yang Yuhuan was ordered to become a monk and pray for Empress Dou's blessing. Five years later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang gave Wei Zhaoxun's daughter to Li Mao as his wife, and he married the twenty-six-year-old Yang Yuhuan.
After marriage, the two are like glue like lacquer, you nong and me, Tang Xuanzong sometimes even bothers to deal with government affairs, just to be more and Yang Guifei tired of crooked for a while, it is reasonable to say that the two have such a good relationship, it should be "more children and more blessings", then how to be favored for eleven years, Yang Guifei has nothing to do under her knees? Whose problem is it?
First look at Tang Xuanzong, according to records, Tang Xuanzong has a total of twenty-three sons and twenty-nine daughters, it can be said that there are many heirs, but when he married The Crooked, he was already more than fifty years old, although he was not yet an old dragon bell, but his energy and physical strength were not as good as before, and it was not so easy to want to dry wood and spring and get old, not to mention that he already had so many heirs, and whether the Fat Crooked could open branches and leaves for him, maybe he didn't care so much.
Let's talk about the fat and crooked, as mentioned earlier, he and Li Mao, the King of Shou, were married for five years and did not give birth to children for each other, but Li Mao later had five sons and two daughters, indicating that Li Mao had no problems in fertility. Neither she nor Li Mao nor Tang Xuanzong had given birth to a child, which was most likely a problem with Yang Guifei herself.
According to legend, although Yang Guifei was born beautiful as a flower, but she had a serious fox odor problem, in order to cover up her own fox odor, Yang Guifei in addition to loving bathing very much, also used fragrant muscle pills for many years to cover up the smell of her body. Imagine, as the emperor's favorite concubine, how can there be a peculiar smell on her body? If it is known, I am afraid that it will damage the royal face, and even lose the grace of the emperor.
But the problem is that one of the main ingredients in making fragrant muscle pills is musk, although musk is fragrant, it will make women infertile, long-term use, and the consequences are unimaginable. This is most likely the main reason why Yang Guifei never got pregnant.
Secondly, we all know that the Tang Dynasty is fat as beauty, and Yang Guifei is a famous "fat beauty" in the Tang Dynasty, but most of the body obesity is actually an unhealthy performance, Yang Guifei is likely to be a "polycystic" patient, most of the polycystic patients are accompanied by physical obesity and endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, ovulation abnormalities and other issues, such a physique is very difficult to conceive. Of course, this is just a personal speculation, and the real reason we have long since lost.
Although Yang Guifei did not bear children for Tang Xuanzong, it did not affect Tang Xuanzong's love for her in the slightest, from Du Mu's poem "A red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee." It can be seen that in order to please Yang Guifei's laughter, Tang Xuanzong moved the crowd and sent people who worked hard and hurt the people to bring yang Guifei her favorite lychees from the south. Therefore, it did not matter whether Yang Guifei could have children, what was important was that even if she could not have children, Tang Xuanzong still loved her as before.
