前面說到唐太宗有個賢德的長孫皇後，還有個直言敢谏的诤臣魏征。長孫皇後不但賢德守禮，學問也非常好，但是她卻從不因自己的才學而驕矜炫耀，或越禮幹政；更不曾以自己的地位，而奢侈浮華，或妒害嫔妃。
Earlier we mentioned that Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty had an honorable queen, Zhang Sun, as well as a blunt and loyal minister, Wei Zheng.

This guide was strictly a product of the accumulated lessons of a woman”s life time of quiet cultivation and propriety in action.
在她以身作則，統領六宮的期間，宮中沒有浪費浮誇之人，也無忌妒邪辟的事；長孫皇後的懿德嘉行真正是女人的典範。這本《女…
