In the third year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court established a mutual market at the border to communicate with the Huns.
The Huns were ferocious and would plunder at the border from time to time.
Although the "mutual market" was established, business was sluggish for a while, and all merchants were waiting and watching.
At some point, a lady named Yao came to the border. She said that her hometown had suffered a disaster and she had no choice but to come to the border to seek help.
Mrs. Yao has a pair of skillful hands. The rice balls, steamed buns and pot helmets she makes are easy to carry and yet delicious, and the fried tea is fragrant and relieves greasiness.
Not only the Han people from the border came to buy food from her, but even the Huns came to take care of her business from time to time.
Gradually, Lady Yao's business grew bigger and bigger, and the Hun royal court purchased a large amount of tea from her every year.
She, a famous merchant, finally attracted the attention of the court.
The court officials who came to investigate the situation looked at Mrs. Yao carefully, and then looked at the missing person notice in their hands:
Isn't this the missing princess Liu Yao?
Liu Yao's father was Liu Wu, King of Chu, who became a sinner for participating in the Seven Kings Rebellion. Only Liu Yao, who had strongly opposed his father's rebellion, retained the title of Wengzhu with the permission of Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing wanted to bring his distant niece to Chang'an as a sign to keep her alive, and if necessary, she could be sent to the Huns for marriage.
However, when the people from the court arrived, Liu Yao had already disappeared.
After a few years apart, the owner's business was booming and he became a guest of the Huns' court.
Later, Emperor Jing pushed the ignorant little dumpling Liu Che into Liu Yao's arms and said to Liu Che: "From now on, A Yao is your biological sister."
