Lady Hu (胡氏) was a Chinese woman of the Shu Han state during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD).
[9][10][4] For the 234 New Year, Lady Hu, entered the palace of Shu Han in Chengdu to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Wu, Liu Bei's widow.
[15] After this embarrassing and considerable scandal, the Shu Han government put an end to the practice of allowing officials' wives and mothers to enter the palace at time of celebrations.
The account is recorded as such :“In Chengdu the Second Emperor, having fallen under the influence of the eunuch official Huang Hao, indulged in vice and luxury and neglected the business of the court.
At Liu Yan's order, the soldiers tied up Lady Hu and struck her in the face several dozen times with a shoe.
The accusation read: "A common soldier is not the one to strike a wife; the face is not the place to receive punishment; Liu Yan deserves to be executed publicly."
