李昭容 Honored Lady Li

昭容李氏，亦以色進。 Honored Lady Li, too, had risen by her beauty.

太祖病，晝寢方寐，忽棟折，獨李氏侍側，遽牽太祖衣，太祖驚走，棟折寢上，太祖德之，拜昭容。 Once, as Taizu dozed in illness, a roof beam snapped; only Lady Li was beside him. She seized his robe; he scrambled clear as the timber crashed on the couch. Grateful, he created her Honored Lady.
