 |  |  | 186 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Hui of Han - Early life and years as crown princeHow Liu Ying's childhood was like is not completely clear.

 |  |  | 186 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Lü Zhi - As empress dowagerEmpress Dowager Lü quickly exerted even more influence on the reign of her son than even she did as empress. The first targets that she had were Consort Qi and Prince Ruyi (who by then had gone to his Principality of Zhao, in modern central Hebei).

Appearing as an old crone(in other stories a nurse), Hera befriended Semele, who confided in her that her husband was actually Zeus.

As she was returning to the capital after the sacrifices, she saw something that appeared to be a blue-haired dog charging her armpit and then suddenly disappearing.
