前面说到唐太宗有个贤德的长孙皇后，还有个直言敢谏的诤臣魏征。

Earlier we mentioned that Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty had an honorable queen, Zhang Sun, as well as a blunt and loyal minister, Wei Zheng.

长孙皇后不但贤德守礼，学问也非常好，但是她却从不因自己的才学而骄矜炫耀，或越礼干政；

Not only was Queen Zhang Sun virtuous and respectable, but she was very knowledgeable too. However, she never flaunted her talent out of arrogance or improperly interfered with politics.

长孙皇后运用智慧，不但保住丈夫的颜面，更保全了魏征的老命，使他还有机会继续直言强谏。

With her wisdom, the empress not only saved face for her husband, but more importantly, saved old Weizheng's life, allowing him to continue to exhort the emperor.
