In ancient authoritarian societies, the emperor was the biggest prostitute and the imperial palace was the largest brothel. No one does not say that the emperor is. However, Emperor Wen of Han seems to be a special case, almost no one says that Emperor Wen of Han is lustful, in fact, it is true, and there are only a few women who have had an affair with Emperor Wen of Han. For this, liu heng, the emperor of Han Wen in "Beauty and The Heart", was single-minded and affectionate towards Dou Yifang. And in history, did Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty have feelings for Dou Yifang like in "Beauty and The Heart"?
In history, Liu Heng's original acting queen died shortly after giving birth to four sons. After the Daiwang became Emperor Wen of Han, the four sons born to the original queen also died of illness.

In this way, shortly after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, after his eldest son Liu Qili became crown prince in the first year of the first century (180 BC), Empress Dowager Dou Ji was made empress in March, Liu Yan was made Princess Guantao, and the youngest son Liu Wu was first made the Acting King, and later liang Xiaowang.
Empress Dou's parents died early and were buried in Guanjin, and Empress Bo ordered that Empress Dowager Dou's father be Posthumously honored as Marquis Ancheng and her mother as Lady Ancheng, and that a cemetery be placed in her hometown of Qinghe County, with the same specifications and rituals as Empress Bo's father's Lingwen Garden. After Emperor Jingdi of Han ascended the throne, Empress Dou built a large tomb in the south of Guanjin City to show filial piety and fill in the abyss where her father had fallen, and the human name was Dou Qingshan.

Later, Liu Heng fell in love with a beautiful woman, Lady Shen. Soon, an unfortunate thing happened to Dou Yifang, and the empress of the mother's world was blinded. Once a woman loses her watery eyes, her beauty is greatly reduced. If Dou Yifang has any regrets in this life, this is the biggest regret. Dou Yifang was only in his forties now, and for the next few decades, this virtuous woman could only be accompanied by darkness and loneliness.
Fortunately, Dou Yifang had experienced too many things, she looked very open, said something unpleasant, if she was not a queen now, she would not have any complaints. She got what she deserved, and she got what she didn't deserve. People have bad luck and bad luck, the moon has clouds and sunshine, and people can't always have a smooth sailing in their lives.
Dou Yifang could see open, but her brother and brother could not see it, the emperor liked other women, and the sister was blind, and the Dou brothers ran to the sister's bedchamber and asked: Sister, will the emperor depose you as an empress?
Dou Yifang calmly told his brother and brother: No. I have faith in the Emperor. I have faith in the feelings between us. It is good that the Emperor likes Lady Shen, but compared to the feelings between me and the Emperor, the feelings between them are just a wave.
Good for a confident woman.
And it is. Liu Heng just looks up to Lady Shen, it is impossible to fall in love with Lady Shen, and it is even more impossible to let Lady Shen replace the position of Dou Yifang, if Liu Heng has to make a choice, he will not hesitate to choose Dou Yifang. Or we can say that the love between Liu Heng and Dou Yifang has been sublimated to an indestructible family affection, and the feelings with Mrs. Shen are just condiments in life. After all, as an emperor, the problem of face is very important, and he can't lead a blind old lady around all day, so he has to choose Lady Shen, who meets his taste in every way.
To put it bluntly, Liu Heng's favor for Lady Shen is nothing more than an illusion, a shallow level of pampering.
There is one little thing to illustrate.
Because Dou Yifang was blind and had limited mobility, Liu Heng attended many fewer activities with her, but he would definitely lead Dou Yifang to participate in some important activities in the palace.
After a grand royal safari, Liu Heng and Dou Yifang sat down to rest, and the unruly Lady Shen ran over, holding the emperor's favor and wanting to sit on an equal footing with the empress. Unexpectedly, a minister named Yuan Ang did not allow her to sit down, led her to the side, and let her sit with the waiter.
