Princess Pingyang (Han dynasty)

[6][7] Princess Pingyang maintained a close relationship with her brother Emperor Wu, and he often visited her at her estate.

[8][9] Wei Zifu was working as a singer/dancer at the princess' estate, when Emperor Wu took a liking to her and brought her back to his palace as a concubine.

He would later be promoted by Emperor Wu and achieve great military success in the war effort against Xiongnu.

[12] After Cao Shi died in 131 BC, widowed Princess Pingyang remarried to Xiahou Po, the Marquis of Ruyin.

After Xiahou Po committed suicide in 115 BC for adultery with his father's maid, she considered remarrying again, and her advisors suggested Wei Qing as a suitor.
