Chapter 109: A Wicked Woman Eats Malatang. (4)
The nature of people is to inherently praise and exalt what is beautiful, becoming endlessly generous in the process. Look at the incident from the past when Yang Guifei1, indulging in playing the villain, wreaked havoc with all sorts of misdeeds, properly ruining the country and even causing a rebellion.
At that time, An Lushan2, the rebel leader, couldn't bring himself to behead the Emperor and advised him to get rid of that fishy woman.
(Yang Guifei was also famous for having the worst body odor under the heavens.)
The emperor, unable to smell due to sinusitis, shouted that if she was the most beautiful woman in the world, she could ruin the country a bit. That obviously made sense, right? So why kill the spirit of our beautiful Yang Guifei?
The phrase "a beauty that can topple a nation" meant that if she was beautiful, one could forgive her even for shaking the country.
Therefore, being generous to beauties could be said to be a characteristic of men.
By the way, if a male friend stubbornly denies this, one should be very careful of their backside.
And Qing was also an inevitable manly man.
