According to the epitaph, Li Shu's date of birth can be determined as 628. In addition, since this inscription was written by Xu's closest relative Dou Huaiqi, there can be no mistake, so the nineteen women mentioned in the inscription should be true. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty was compiled in the Northern Song Dynasty for fear of misinformation.
Moral Li Shu was brilliant from an early age. She learned the Book of Changes when she was nine years old, and she could understand her reserved and modest words. At the age of seven, he studied calligraphy and the true meaning of famous artists such as Zhong You and Zhang Zhi.
Besides, Li Shu's personality is gentle, dignified and beautiful. He doesn't like extravagant or superficial and decadent music. Her moral integrity can be compared with the wives of Qi Liang and Lai Zi in ancient times.
Thus, in 632, Li Shu, aged 9, was made the monarch of Lanling, with 3,000 food cities.
Shortly after his marriage was sealed, Emperor Taizong chose Xu from his father's home and took his daughter Dou Huaiqiu, the son of Sun Doudesu, and the Queen Mother. The specific year and month of Li Shu are not recorded in the history books. However, both husband and wife are beautiful after marriage. What is particularly commendable is that both of them love calligraphy and have high attainments, which can be described as like-minded. This can be seen from Xu's personal monument
Li is polite and expressionless, gets along well with Dou Sao, treats his in-laws with great filial piety and abides by the law.
After his untimely death in 650, Tang Gaozong acceded to the throne, worshipped Li Shu as the princess royal of Lanling, and added 50 food cities. The princess restrained herself from extravagance and was content with frugality. She immediately refused the tin gift from the court.
However, even if you are a princess, Li Shu will not live long. August 1969, 18, 32-year-old Pingle, Wannian County, Yongzhou, died of illness. Because he surrendered himself to the Dou family, he deserves special treatment out of affection and courtesy.
