Allusions to palm dancing:

When Zhao became a queen, Emperor Han Chengdi asked craftsmen to build a magnificent imperial boat in the Imperial Palace Taiye Pool to please the new queen, which was called "He Gong Boat". One day, Emperor Cheng went boating with him to enjoy the scenery. Yan Fei, dressed in the purple dress of Nanyue Gong Yunying, was graceful and graceful, and danced while singing the song "Phoenix Return and Send Away". As an emperor, he asked assistant minister Feng blowing sheng to sing and dance.

When the boat reached the midstream, the wind suddenly blew down Zhao, who was as light as a swallow. The emperor ordered Feng to save him. He threw away the musical instrument, grabbed the queen's foot and refused to let go, but continued to sing and dance. After this incident, Emperor Han Chengdi specially made a crystal plate for her to dance, and also built a Qibao shelter for fear that she would be blown away by the wind, so there was a story in the palace that "a swallow can dance on the palm of his hand".

Zhao's life story:

In the third year of Han Jiahong's reign, Emperor Cheng saw Geji Zhao at Yang Afei's house, so he called her into the palace and fell in love with her at first sight. Soon after, Emperor Cheng called his sister Zhao Hede into the palace and named his sister Zhao his mother-in-law. Since then, the Zhao sisters have been in the harem.

In order to further consolidate his position, Zhao falsely accused Queen Xu and pointed out that Ban Jieyu had a set of vicious flattery. So he became emperor, abolished Queen Xu, and later established Zhao Yanfei, making Zhao Hede Zhao Yi. Both of them are very popular. Zhao Yanfei fell out of favor because he had no children, so he committed adultery with the harem. After Emperor Zhiping ascended the throne, Zhao was demoted and committed suicide.
