Yang Jian and Madam Xuan Hua had been husband and wife for 45 years.
Yang Jian's Lady Xuanhua was the daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan of the Southern Dynasty and the younger sister of Chen Shubao, the Latter Ruler of Chen. Her title was Princess Ning Yuan.
[Yang Jian's Lady Xuan Hua was raped by Yang Guang after Yang Jian's death.] The so-called "Ao" referred to the son marrying the father's widow or the younger brother taking in the elder brother's wife and concubine. As the princess of the Chen Kingdom, after being captured into the palace, Lady Xuanhua was first taken in as a concubine by Yang Jian and later by Yang Guang. This incident caused great harm and humiliation to Madam Xuan Hua. She could not bear it and eventually fell ill from depression and died early at the age of 29.
Yang Jian was the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and Madam Xuan Hua was one of his concubines. Lady Xuanhua's original name was Chen. She was the daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan of the Southern Dynasty and the half-sister of Empress Chen. During the Nanbei Dynasty, she was conferred the title of Princess Ning Yuan. After the Sui Dynasty was unified, Madam Xuan Hua became Yang Jian's concubine. Although Lady Xuanhua did not give birth to any children, her status gradually rose, and she became a figure second only to Empress Dugu in the palace. She was doted on by Yang Jian and even managed the six palaces on his behalf. In fact, she had become the Empress. After Yang Jian's death, Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and continued to dote on Madam Xuan Hua. Madam Xuan Hua found a few heart knots in the gold box that Yang Guang gave her, which showed Yang Guang's affection for her. There was a legendary story between Madam Xuan Hua and Yang Guang, but the details were unknown. Madam Xuan Hua eventually passed away due to illness at the age of twenty-nine.

After Empress Dugu learned that Yang Jian favored Madam Yuchi, she killed her. This matter had dealt a blow to Yang Jian's dignity, and he left the palace. However, Yang Jian and Empress Dugu were very close, and they quickly reconciled. Even though Yang Jian had other concubines, he still couldn't forget Dugu Jialuo until her death.
