In ancient China, under the influence of feudal social thought, the situation that men were superior to women was more serious, but it was only confined to ordinary women, and it was different for women in the royal family. However, it is an immutable law that women in any family marry and follow their husbands. However, in ancient times, there were many incidents of adultery between princesses, the most famous of which was Princess Gaoyang in the Tang Dynasty, who had an affair with a debating monk. In the history of our country, another princess had an affair with someone, and the ending was not as tragic as Princess Gaoyang. This person is Dou Taihou's daughter Princess Guantao, and her lover is a servant of her family named Dong Yan.
Dong Yan entered the Princess House at the age of thirteen. At that time, Dong Yan had fine features, and Princess Guantao was very satisfied with this, so she left him with her. A few years later, Dong Yan grew up and became more handsome. At this time, Princess Guantao became more and more fond of him and gradually stopped treating him as a servant. You know, Princess Guantao was over 50 years old at that time, but Dong Yan gave in to Princess Guantao and stayed with Princess Guantao for more than ten years. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about them, but he didn't blame them too much. After all, Princess Guantao's identity is different.
Although Princess Guantao has a husband, she has no feelings for him. Later, she fell in love with Dong Yan in her sixties, so she also cherished her feelings with Dong Yan. Dong Yan died of illness before he was 30. Princess Guantao was very sad, and it didn't take long for her to follow. Before her death, she asked to be buried with Dong Yan, which showed that she was really interested in Yan Dong.
