86.25

襃女 (bao + mao [bāo]. The Kaosheng [says]: "襃 means fine/beautiful; it is also the name of a state." Bao Si was the illegitimate consort of King You of Zhou. She liked to watch the beacon fires; when she saw them she smiled, and when she smiled a hundred charms arose. King You was pleased by her, and on her account ruined his state, and the Western Rong came and destroyed it. The Shuowen [notes that it] derives from 衣 [garment] with 保 as phonetic.)
