It is said that Yang Guifei's skin is good because she ate Ejiao. What kind of story is this?

Shen Zhenzhu, the real queen of Tang Daizong Li Yu, was born in Xing Wu, Zhejiang (now Zhudun, Huzhou), and was elected to the East Palace in the last years of Xuanzong Kaiyuan. When Su Heng was a prince, he gave the application to Li Yu, the eldest son of later generations.

Shen Shi is beautiful and virtuous, so she is deeply loved by Li Yu. In the first year of Tianbao (742), the eldest son of Li Yu (later Dezong) was born. After entering Wang Fu, Shen Zhenzhu was radiant, and Yang Yuhuan was Shen Zhenzhu's great-grandmother, but Yang Yuhuan was almost as radiant as Shen Zhenzhu. The ladies-in-waiting at that time all rumored that they were really beautiful.

At a royal banquet, Yang Yuhuan looked at Shen Zhenzhu, and it was as radiant as the rumor said. Now he can't help being eclipsed, but he is not content to be inferior to Shen Zhenzhu's beauty, so he seized the opportunity to ask Shen Zhenzhu about the mystery of maintenance.

Princess Guangping is really gorgeous, and my palace can't compare with it! ? Shen Zhenzhu smiled humbly. Male and female servants are ashamed!

Yang Yuhuan smiled and raised his glass to Shen Zhenzhu. Princess Guangping is welcome. I hope the princess will tell me about the mysterious maintenance mystery! ? Empress Guifei, male and female servants only drink Ejiao soup since childhood. There's nothing magical about it. ? Ejiao is made of water from Dong 'e Ajing, Shandong Province, so it is traditionally called Ejiao. Dong 'e Ejiao, also known as Fuzhi Gum, Gongjiao Gum and Donkey Skin Gum, is also called the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine with ginseng and velvet antler, and is called the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. The origin of medicinal gum is limited by historical conditions and has not been accurately recorded. But this is like the legendary Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, passed down from generation to generation.

Since I told Ejiao, a thousand-year-old tonic medicine, I was very satisfied. The power of Guangping King also used this to balance Princess Zhang, and her position in Guangping King's heart became more and more stable.
