What are the allusions in Sima Xiangru's "Beauty"

Clear tears and panting, the unique beauty of Daiyu: It should be Lin Daiyu, but I think Daiyu and Sima Xiangru, whoever pays will be the queen? Listening to the government, Li Ji pretended to be beautiful, which brought disaster to Shen Sheng! The allusion of "Li Ji cries at night" refers to making things out of nothing and stirring up trouble.

One day Li Ji persuaded Duke Xian of Jin to recall the prince. After seeing Duke Xiang of Jin, the prince went to pay homage to Li Ji. Li Ji invited the prince to dinner, and the conversation was very pleasant. The next day, the prince entered the palace to express his gratitude, and Li Ji invited him to dinner again. That night, Li Ji cried to Duke Xiang of Jin, saying that the prince had molested her and said, "My father is old now." She also said that she could go to the Royal Zoo with the prince to socialize, and let Xian Gong observe from the stage.

The next day, Li Ji asked the prince to go on an outing with her. Li Ji first spread honey on her hair, so that the bees gathered around her hair. Li Ji said: "Prince, can you help me drive them away?" The prince used his sleeves to drive away the bees and butterflies from behind her. Duke Xiang of Jin saw it and thought the teasing was true. He was very angry and wanted to kill the prince immediately. Li Ji knelt down and begged: "I asked the prince to come back, but he was killed. It was me who harmed him. Besides, outsiders don't know about these things in the palace, so just bear with it." Duke Xiang of Jin drove the prince back to Quwo. He went there, but ordered his subordinates to secretly collect the crimes committed by the prince and wait for an opportunity to destroy him.

In the end, Shen Sheng was so infamous that he could not clear himself up and hanged himself to death.
