Emperor Yang Jian of sui destroyed the State of Chen and took the Emperor of the State of Chen captive, even the princess and concubines. Before the fall of Chen Guo, Princess Lechang's husband Xu Deyan said to his wife, "Your appearance is unique, and you will definitely be occupied by Haoqiang." How will we be reunited then?
Princess Lechang smashed a bronze mirror in half, half to her husband, and half to herself in her arms; she made an agreement with Xu Deyan: On the fifteenth day of the first month of each year, she would sell the bronze mirror at the Chang'an Avenue market until the whereabouts of the other party were found.
Sure enough, Princess Lechang was captured and given to Yang Su, the chancellor, and Xu Deyan did not know where she had gone. Every year, Princess Lechang sent an old maid to sell mirrors in the market, the first year did not meet Xu Deyan, the second year did not meet Xu Deyan, the third year, Xu Deyan came, took out a pair of half mirrors in his arms, and sure enough, it was right. He followed the old maid to Yang Su's mansion and saw Princess Lechang, and the two of them hugged and cried.
When Yang Su learned of this, he returned Princess Lechang to Xu Deyan. Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan were reunited and lived a happy life.
