When mentioning Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, words such as arrogance, lewdness, cruelty, and cruelty will be associated with him. However, this tyrant had only five children in his life, three of which were born to queens (one of whom has an unknown biological mother). He was so lustful that he did not change the women around him when he became emperor.
When I was writing "The Ballad of Baicao", I checked the male protagonist's information and found that his daughter turned out to be the empress of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Empress Xiao was most famous for her romantic scandals with Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande, the Turkic great Chanyu, little Chanyu, and Li Shimin after the fall of the Sui Dynasty.
Historical records record that she lived to be over 80 years old. When Yang Guang was alive, she was a queen who enjoyed all the glory and wealth. After Yang Guang's death, she still lived for several decades and was eventually buried with Yang Guang.
What is her life like?
In addition, this article was written after "The Song of Leaving in Troubled Times: The Ballad of Baicao", and there are some discrepancies with the real history regarding Queen Xiao's life experience.
