The first and most famous is probably the wife of Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guangwu who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty. Empress Yin Lihua. Yin Lihua was born into a famous family in Xinye, and At that time, Liu Xiu was only the son of a county order. Yin Lihua grew up to be a country, Liu Xiu saw her at a banquet, and was instantly amazed by her, so later when chang'an was studying, he saw Zhi Jinwu leading the army to travel, and Liu Xiu, who was shocked, issued "Shi Eunuch as Zhi Jinwu, marry a wife and deserve Yin Lihua." Such an exclamation.
In 23 AD, Liu Xiu, who was already the leader of the rebel army, returned to Xinye, married the 19-year-old Lady of the Yin family as he wished, and spent three months of newlywed time between the husband and wife, Liu Xiu received the order of the First Emperor and went to Luoyang.
