Han Zhao: “What are you up to?” Zuo You personally cooks for him and sews his clothes. Han Zhao: “You…” He's starting to feel a little touched. During the Lantern Festival, Han Zhao: “Would you care to release a lantern with me?” Zuo You: “This humble servant has ulterior motives and fears I might bring harm to the marquis. You should release it by yourself.” Embarrassed and angry, he gets drunk, then falls asleep. When he wakes, he realizes his feelings. “Was it you who put this robe over me?” “The hat attendant did it.” The lovesick marquis punishes both the robe attendant and the hat attendant. From then on, he never turns back on the road to winning his beloved's heart… Once, Marquis Han Zhao got drunk and fell asleep. Seeing that his lord was cold, the hat attendant placed a robe over him. When the marquis woke, he was pleased, and asked those around him, “Who put this robe on me?” They replied, “The hat attendant.” The marquis then punished both the robe attendant and the hat attendant. He punished the robe attendant for failing to do his duty, and the hat attendant for overstepping his role. Han Feizi, “The Two Handles”
