Why did Li Furen, who had a good face, refuse to see Emperor Wu before he died?

According to historical records, Li Furen was born in an ordinary family, and her parents were artists who sang and danced. Her brother's name is Li Yannian. Under the influence of his parents, he is also good at singing and dancing. Later, Li Yannian was imprisoned for breaking the law and sent to the palace to raise a dog for the royal family. He gradually became famous for being good at singing and dancing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once saw Li Yannian's songs and dances. At that time, he sang a song: "There are beautiful women in the north, with peerless charm and graceful appearance. Looking back, you can overthrow the city, looking back, you can overthrow the country. Don't you know that falling in love with the disaster of the whole country is just because beautiful people are hard to get! " Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fascinated by this and lamented that there could be people who could sing so beautifully in the world. Unfortunately, you are a eunuch. If only you were a woman.

Princess Pingyang, who was traveling with her, smiled and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "Li Yannian has a sister who can also sing and dance." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed. He immediately ordered Li Furen to be brought into the palace, and later he was made his wife, which won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although Li Furen was not made a queen before her death, she was made a queen and enjoyed the ancestral temple of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

According to legend, Li Furen was ill in bed for a long time before his death. One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to visit Li Furen, but she covered her head with a quilt and didn't see him. She told the emperor her reason: "The courtiers and concubines are ill in bed for a long time, and their faces are haggard, so they dare not meet the emperor, lest they be disturbed by the holy driving." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty disagreed with this, but he still missed Mrs. Li See and said that he wanted to hear about her account. Li Furen still refused to meet, saying that only his son and brother wanted your majesty to take care of them, and there was no other explanation.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little unhappy and said in anger: Your wife refused to see me. How can I take care of your brothers in the future and give them high officials and high salaries? Li Furen is not afraid. She calmly replied that your majesty is the son of heaven, and whether your brother can be high-ranking and generous has nothing to do with meeting male and female servants. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left angrily.

Why did Li Furen refuse to see Emperor Wu before he died? According to historical records, Li Furen missed his brothers, especially Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division. Li Furen knows that he is very popular, because he can sing and dance, and he is beautiful. After a long illness, I can't dance and my face is haggard. She didn't want to leave a bad side for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. If the emperor always has a glamorous image of himself, then he will always miss himself in the future. Only in this way can he take good care of my brother. If you see that my appearance is ruined and my color is different, you will definitely hate to abandon me. How can you remember pity for my brother who hired me?
