Since ancient times, women with stunning beauty have had an extraordinary life.

Because they can't maintain this beauty on their own.

Xiao Baojuan, the Emperor of Qi during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, had a favorite concubine named Pan Yunu.

A legendary woman famous for her beautiful feet, a pair of beautiful feet that look like lotus flowers with every step.

Her name blooms like a lotus in the long river of history, leaving endless imagination and praise for the world.

"There are so many beauties in history that any dynasty can have several stunning beauties in history books."

"However, Pan Yunu was a rather special beauty. She made the Southern Dynasty Emperor Xiao Baojuan infatuated with her small feet."

"Xiao Baojuan's mother died early, and he lacked discipline. He loved to play since childhood and had no interest in studying. When he grew up, he became a second-generation rich man in the true sense of the word."

"After taking the throne, Xiao Baojuan's behavior became more and more outrageous. He sent his favorite minister Mei Chong'er to search for beautiful women among the people."

"Pan Yunu was thus chosen by Mei Chong'er and became Xiao Baojuan's concubine."

"At first, Pan Yunu did not attract Xiao Baojuan's attention."

"After all, Mei Chong'er has recruited a large number of beauties from the people, and Pan Yunu's looks can only be considered above average."

"However, when Xiao Baojuan saw Pan Yunu's beautiful feet, the lustful emperor quickly fell for her."

"The reason may be that Xiao Baojuan has a foot fetish."

"After Xiao Baojuan discovered Pan Yunu's beautiful feet, he made her a royal concubine."

"Whenever I had time, I would hold her ankles, rub them, knead them, pinch them, smell them, and even kiss and bite them."

"Occasionally, when he bit Pan Yunu's toes and hurt them, Pan Yunu would hit him on the back with her stick without mercy, which only made Xiao Baojuan feel more stimulated."

"It seems that this emperor has a strong tendency towards masochism."

"Later, in order to satisfy his own hobbies, Xiao Baojuan stopped patronizing other beauties and spent every day with Pan Yunu."

"In order to make the pair of jade feet more beautiful, Xiao Baojuan asked the craftsmen to make a beautiful lotus stand out of the gold foil."

"Pan Yunu stood on it and danced gracefully. Xiao Baojuan stared at Pan Yunu's light lotus steps and was fascinated."

"For a time, all the women in the world heard that the emperor liked small feet."

"They rushed to bind their feet, fearing that their big feet would not be able to adapt to the trend."

"Pan Yunu never dreamed that her beautiful feet would bring about the 1,500-year-long custom of foot binding in China."

Wu Zetian: Xiao Baojuan was a tyrannical man throughout his life, and he deserved to be put to death in the end.

Xiao Baojuan was the second son of Xiao Luan. His biological mother died early, and he was raised by Concubine Pan.

He has been stuttering since childhood, doesn't like studying, and just plays around all day.

He often worked with the guards in the East Palace to dig holes and catch mice all night long, but Xiao Luan didn't pay much attention to him.

Xiao Luan's eldest son, Xiao Baoyi, was born out of wedlock and was disabled, making it difficult for him to inherit the throne, so Xiao Baojuan was appointed crown prince.

Emperor Ming of Qi, Xiao Luan, died and Crown Prince Xiao Baojuan succeeded to the throne, becoming the sixth emperor of Southern Qi.

At first, Xiao Luan was worried that Xiao Baojuan was not cunning enough and would not be able to control his uncles and brothers in the future.

After Xiao Luan usurped the throne through conspiracy, he indiscriminately killed the descendants of Emperor Gao of Qi and Emperor Wu of Qi to consolidate his throne.

Before his death, Xiao Luan warned Xiao Baojuan not to lag behind others in doing things.

He was decisively executed to avoid repeating the mistake of the deposed Emperor Yulin King Xiao Zhaoye, who failed to decisively murder Xiao Luan.

Xiao Baojuan kept this in mind and carried it forward through his actions after ascending the throne.

Xiao Baojuan was an introvert who seldom spoke. He did not like to interact with ministers and often wandered out of the palace.

Every time they travel, they make sure to demolish houses and evict the residents.

When the harem caught fire, three luxurious palaces, namely Xianhua, Shenxian and Yushou, were built.

He also rewarded his subjects generously, causing financial difficulties for the country.

Most of the emperors of the Southern Dynasties were extravagant and corrupt, especially Xiao Baojuan.

Xiao Baojuan was extremely stingy with money and particularly liked doing jobs like butchering and trading.

A market was once set up in the palace, where eunuchs slaughtered pigs and sheep, and palace maids sold wine and meat.

Concubine Pan served as the mayor, and he served as Concubine Pan's deputy. In case of urgent matters, he would hand them over to Concubine Pan for decision.

When Xiao Baojuan was in power, he had to go out for more than 20 days in a month.

Sometimes during the day, sometimes at night.

He didn't want to be seen, and anyone who saw him would be killed.

Therefore, local officials kept a close eye on him, and whenever they saw him leaving the palace, they would immediately run around and call for the people to be driven away, leaving no one on the road.

Xiao Baojuan followed his father's instructions and immediately executed any prime minister who was not to his liking.

Civil officials were forced to resign, military generals rebelled, and the capital was in danger several times.

Xiao Baojuan also killed many ministers. After he ascended the throne, he killed the regent ministers and others.

Also due to Xiao Baojuan's stupidity and tyranny, several people rebelled one after another, but they were all defeated and killed.

After Xiao Baojuan put down the rebellion, he became even more stupid and violent. In addition to having fun day and night with his beloved concubine Pan Yunu, the treacherous minister Mei Chong'er and others, he also sent people to poison Xiao Yi, the Shangshu who had made the greatest efforts to put down the rebellion.

As a result, Xiao Yi's brother, Xiao Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, sent troops to attack Jiankang and supported King Nankang Xiao Baorong to become emperor in Jiangling.

Xiao Baojuan spent the whole day practicing military formations with his attendants and officials in front of the Huaguang Palace for entertainment.

However, they did not pay attention to the troops outside the city. Xiao Yan's army had already attacked the outside of the city.

When he heard the drumbeats outside the city, he put on a red robe and climbed onto the roof of Jingyang Tower to watch the excitement. A stray arrow almost injured his legs and feet.

His favorite minister knelt on the ground and begged him to reward the soldiers, but he still refused.

On the night when Xiao Yan and the generals of Qi attacked Jiankang City, Xiao Baojuan was singing and having fun in the Hande Hall.

Before he fell asleep, the city guard general and Northern Xuzhou Governor Wang Zhenguo led his troops into the palace at night.

When Xiao Baojuan heard the sound of the army breaking in, he hurriedly slipped out from the north gate.

The eunuch raised his knife and hit his knee, and another eunuch chopped off his head without saying a word.

The assassination was ordered by Zhang Ji and Wang Zhenguo, who were responsible for defending Jiankang and concurrently the Imperial Guards. They then sent the Secretariat to deliver Xiao Baojuan's head to Xiao Yan.

"It must be said that Xiao Baojuan was a strange man. He was completely obsessed with Pan Yunu."

"In the feudal history of our country, there has never been an emperor like Xiao Baojuan."

"Like an ordinary son-in-law, he often accompanied his wife to her parents' home and chatted with Pan Yunu's aunts and uncles on the kang."

"Pan Yunu was born in the market, and Xiao Baojuan was infected by the commercial atmosphere of the beauty's hometown and fell in love with this down-to-earth feeling."

"In order to bring the atmosphere of the market into the palace, Xiao Baojuan actually asked the palace servants to set up a busy market in the palace."

"The palace was decorated like the Qingming Festival Riverside Scene, and vendors were hawking their wares along the streets."

"Xiao Baojuan and Pan Yunu strolled through the garden, listening to the palace maids acting as merchants bargaining and enjoying themselves."

"Every day, Xiao Baojuan would go shopping with his wife with bound feet."

"Satisfy Pan Yunu's shopping desire and let her spend as much as she wants."

"Such a down-to-earth emperor is rare in history."

"The couple live like ordinary people. This kind of marriage supported by foot fetish is naturally a bit abnormal."

"What Xiao Baojuan coveted was nothing more than Pan Yunu's face and beautiful feet."

"Pan Yunu never left Xiao Baojuan, only because she coveted the wealth and glory of this lustful emperor."

"The relationship between the two is like that between a wealthy man and his sugar daddy's mistress. There is no real love at all."

"Over time, Pan Yunu found that Xiao Baojuan was becoming more and more dependent on her, and gradually became arrogant and domineering, bossing Xiao Baojuan around."

"The beauty ordered him around, and Xiao Baojuan obeyed her orders, throwing away the emperor's dignity."

"Although Xiao Baojuan obeys Pan Yunu in everything, only Pan Yunu can enjoy this kind of treatment."

"So much so that, in the eyes of others, Xiao Baojuan is an out-and-out tyrant and incompetent ruler."

Li Qingzhao: Pan Yunu dared to whip the emperor. After the emperor was killed, a general asked her to marry him, but she refused to marry and was strangled to death in prison.

Pan Yunu's original name was Yu Nizi, and she was just a maid of the Grand Marshal Wang Jingze.

In the later years of Emperor Ming of Qi, Wang Jingze rebelled and was killed.

Not long after, Emperor Ming of Qi died and Crown Prince Xiao Baojuan succeeded to the throne. Somehow, Yu Ni Zi was taken as Xiao Baojuan's concubine.

After becoming a concubine, Yu Nizi was very favored by Xiao Baojuan because Emperor Wen of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yilong, had a favorite concubine, Concubine Pan Shufei, who was the most favored in the harem.

So Xiao Baojuan also wanted to follow Liu Yilong's example, so he asked Yu Ni Zi to change his surname to Pan Yunu.

Pan Yunu gave birth to a daughter for Xiao Baojuan, but the daughter died when she was just 100 days old.

Fortunately, Xiao Baojuan loved Pan Yunu enough to make her a noble concubine and let her raise the crown prince Xiao Song, bypassing the queen who was also childless.

It has to be said that Xiao Baojuan really doted on Pan Yunu.

When a fire broke out in the palace, more than 3,000 palaces were burned down. Xiao Baojuan ordered the reconstruction of the palace and built three more palaces for Pan Yunu.

Xiao Baojuan also collected a lot of things to decorate the three halls, and many treasures became decorations in Pan Yunu's palace.

Moreover, Xiao Baojuan had people make lotus flowers out of gold and stick them on the ground, and then let Pan Yunu walk on them. The beauty, beautiful feet, and beautiful scenery are indeed pleasing to the eyes.

But this kind of visual pleasure was extremely costly. Pan Yunu's clothes and utensils were all rare and precious, and extremely luxurious.

In order to satisfy this luxury, Xiao Baojuan put a lot of thought into it and made up all kinds of excuses to plunder the people.

Places where saving is not necessary should be tightened up as much as possible, or even destroyed directly.

It can be said that he was extremely stingy in state affairs and extremely extravagant in his personal life, and he was completely like a tyrant.

Every incompetent emperor has some special hobbies, and Xiao Baojuan is no exception.

He built a special market in Fangle Garden, asked palace eunuchs to act as vendors, and let Pan Yunu be the market magistrate.

Xiao Baojuan himself worked as a recorder and was Pan Yunu's deputy.

In this market, Pan Yunu had the most power, even more than Xiao Baojuan.

Xiao Baojuan gave Pan Yunu a power that no other concubine could have, which was the power to whip the emperor.

I have to say that Xiao Baojuan's hobby is really special.

He actually let his concubine whip him, and Pan Yunu, relying on Xiao Baojuan's favor, actually dared to whip him.

Perhaps this was their unique little hobby, so Xiao Baojuan was sometimes afraid of Pan Yunu.

Of course, this fear was very limited. After all, Xiao Baojuan was the emperor and had the power of life and death.

So even though he was afraid of Pan Yunu at certain times, he still secretly had fun with Pan Yunu's sisters.

Of course, no matter what, Xiao Baojuan's favorite was still Pan Yunu.

Xiao Baojuan was not concerned about state affairs and just fooled around in life.

It seems that he really wants to experience the life of an ordinary person, but this experience can only be regarded as a little excitement for him to pass the boring life.

Such an emperor was destined not to be emperor for long. Xiao Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, rebelled and supported Xiao Baojuan's younger brother Xiao Baorong as emperor.

This incident did not free Xiao Baojuan from his indulgence in eating, drinking and having fun, and he continued to travel as usual.

As a result, it was not until Xiao Yan was about to reach Jiankang that Xiao Baojuan began to gather troops.

When they lacked troops, they used prisoners to fill the gap. They were simply unable to compete with Xiao Yan. It was only a matter of time before Xiao Baojuan was defeated.

When Xiao Baojuan was playing music and singing in the Hande Hall, the palace inside and outside had been arranged.

When Xiao Baojuan had just finished singing and lying down to sleep, he suddenly heard different noises. He was so scared that he quickly ran out from the north gate.

As a result, the palace gates were closed, and Xiao Baojuan was finally killed by the eunuch Huang Taiping and Zhang Qi, a military officer of Yanzhou.

After Xiao Baojuan died, Xiao Yan sent Zhang Hongce to the palace to clean up first.

Concubine Pan was taken into custody and handed over to the official in charge of the matter.

Pan Yunu was indeed a beauty, with a beauty that could captivate a country. After serving as a royal concubine for several years, she became even more beautiful and charming.

Xiao Yan originally wanted to take Pan Yunu as his concubine, and he even asked the attendant Wang Mao about this.

In Wang Mao's mind, Pan Yunu was the root of national disaster and one of the reasons for the demise of Southern Qi.

Pan Yunu's reputation was there. She was the most favored concubine of the tyrant emperor, and naturally she did contribute to the demise of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Therefore, if Xiao Yan really married Pan Yunu, there would naturally be a lot of discussion from the outside world, which would be detrimental to Xiao Yan's reputation.

There was no need for Xiao Yan to sacrifice his reputation for a woman. After all, there were so many beautiful women in the world.

Xiao Yan felt that what Wang Mao said made sense, so he gave up the idea and turned to marry another concubine of Xiao Baojuan.

As for Pan Yunu, who was let go by Xiao Yan, she received another proposal of marriage.

The military commander Tian Anqi took a fancy to Pan Yunu and asked Xiao Yan to give her to him as his wife.

Xiao Yan had no objection, but Pan Yunu was unwilling.

Pan Yunu was once the emperor's concubine. To her, Tian Anqi was just a servant.

Xiao Yan did not force Pan Yunu to marry Tian Anqi, but ordered her to be strangled to death in prison.

Perhaps it was at this moment that Pan Yunu truly showed people love, of course it could also be that she simply looked down on a military general.

No matter what, at that moment, Pan Yunu was just as Su Shi said, Yunu never let Dong Hun down.

However, she would rather die than be humiliated, and was unwilling to marry Tian Anqi, but she was still humiliated after her death.

"Of course, Xiao Baojuan, like King Zhou of Shang and King You of Zhou in history, did a lot of absurd things."

"Killing loyal ministers and building palaces has made the whole country a mess. The people are living in misery and the civil and military officials are furious."

"Xiao Yi was a rare upright and loyal minister. He could not bear to see the great country being ruined by Xiao Baojuan, and risked his life many times to make direct appeals, hoping that Xiao Baojuan would turn over a new leaf."

"Xiao Baojuan's actions are exactly the same as those of other tyrants."

"He blocked Xiao Yi's mouth with a cup of poisoned wine and killed this loyal minister."

"Xiao Baojuan should never have killed Xiao Yi and aroused public anger."

"Xiao Baojuan was like someone who had stirred up a hornet's nest. He was criticized by all the officials."

"Not long after, Xiao Yi's brother Xiao Yan led his troops to attack under the banner of supporting the country."

"Xiao Baojuan has been struggling for so many years, and the money in the national treasury is simply not enough to support military expenses."

"Plus, he is tyrannical and has been deserted by his friends and relatives. How could any general be willing to fight for him?"

"Within two years, Xiao Yan's army captured the capital."

"Xiao Yan's mind was filled with the tragic scene of his brother's death at the hands of Xiao Baojuan, and the country that was torn to pieces by Xiao Baojuan."

"Xiao Yan led his army into the capital and entered the palace."

"At this time, Xiao Baojuan was still feasting with beauties, and had no idea that Xiao Yan had already entered the palace."

"Just like that, Xiao Baojuan was beheaded by the unexpected Xiao Yan, and the country changed hands."

"Xiao Baojuan is dead, so Pan Yunu naturally became Xiao Yan's trophy."

"However, Xiao Yan is different from Xiao Baojuan. He does not have a foot fetish."

"So he did not keep Pan Yunu in the palace, but gave her to his beloved general Tian Anqi."

"What Pan Yunu didn't expect was that Tian Anqi's personality was rather traditional and conservative, and he couldn't satisfy her desires at all."

"The disheartened Pan Yunu missed Xiao Baojuan, so she hanged herself, following Xiao Baojuan, the absurd emperor, and ended her absurd life."

Liu Rushi: Pan Yunu was the concubine of the deposed emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty. She had a pair of beautiful feet, and lotus flowers bloomed with every step, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

A legendary woman famous for her beautiful feet, a pair of beautiful feet that look like lotus flowers with every step.

Pan Yunu's name blooms like a lotus in the long river of history, leaving endless imagination and praise for the world.

Pan Yunu was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was as beautiful as a flower, with fair skin and pretty face. She was a rare and peerless beauty.

Her beauty not only captivated Xiao Baojuan, the deposed emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, but also attracted the attention of many literati and poets of the time.

Her beautiful feet became famous because of their lotus-like shape with every step.

Pan Yunu's beautiful feet were not natural, but the result of hard training.

She started learning dance at a young age through constant practice and training.

Not only did she acquire a set of unique skills, but she also acquired a pair of beautiful feet.

She has slender ankles and soft soles, and she walks as light as the wind and dances gracefully.

Whenever she danced, Xiao Baojuan would watch her intently and linger on.

In addition, Pan Yunu also has unique ideas in clothing and makeup art.

Her makeup was fashionable and gorgeous, and was imitated by many women at that time.

In addition to her beautiful feet, Pan Yunu also had a tragic fate.

She was born into a poor family. Her parents died early and she was forced to be sold into the palace to become a maid.

However, she was favored by the deposed emperor and became his concubine.

Although her status and position were improved, her life in the palace was not satisfactory.

The deposed emperor was addicted to wine and sex and cared nothing for state affairs. The political situation was corrupt and the people were living in misery.

Although Xiao Baojuan was arrogant and licentious in history, he was deeply in love with Pan Yunu.

Xiao Baojuan once built a luxurious palace for Pan Yunu, which shows how much he loved her.

Although Pan Yunu was favored by the emperor, she was not spared in the political struggle.

In the chaotic political situation of the Southern Dynasty, she was caught in the vortex of power struggle.

Although she was not involved, she was still implicated in Xiao Baojuan's downfall.

Her fate also changed with the demise of the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the end, she chose to commit suicide and became an eternal legend.

As the favorite concubine of the deposed emperor of Southern Qi, Pan Yunu was undoubtedly the focal figure of that era.

Her beautiful feet even became the focus of discussion in the palace, making people forget her identity and only remember those intoxicating feet.

In general, Pan Yunu was a very legendary woman in the Southern Dynasties.

Although we cannot see Pan Yunu's beautiful feet with our own eyes, we can get a glimpse of her charm from historical records and paintings. (End of this chapter)
