Above the clouds, colorful divine light shone brightly. On the lotus platform in the divine light, sat a graceful goddess with four heads and eight arms, a vertical eye on her forehead, and holding various magical instruments.

The jade maidens who led the way bowed together and said, "Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Heavenly Venerable Xiantian Daomu and the Holy Virtue Queen of the Northern Dipper."

Princess Honghua followed suit and bowed: "I, the believer Li Xiping, pay my respects to the Xiantian Daomu Tianzun, the Holy Virtue Queen of the North Dipper."

Dou Mu Yuanjun, played by Li Zhao, saw her and smiled lovingly: "You are here, my orphan child."

"In the Western Frontier of Taiwei, you will be the general who will punish those who disobey you. As the general star of the Right Frontier of Taiwei, you have stabilized the border over the years, and your contribution is invaluable."

Princess Honghua was the first princess of the Tang Dynasty to be married to a foreign country. She was also the only princess in both the Tang and Wu Zhou dynasties who returned to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor twice.

She was also conferred the title of Princess Xiping by Wu Zetian.

According to the "Cefu Yuangui", in February of the third year of Wu Zetian's Changshou reign (694), Princess Xiping returned to Tibet, and Wu Zetian specially arranged a ceremony for her to return home.

When talking about the princesses who were married to foreign countries in the Tang Dynasty, most people only remember Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng. There were more princesses like Princess Honghua who were buried in the history books because the countries they married were obscure.

But when it comes to contribution to the Tang Dynasty, they are no less than anyone else.

Princess Honghua was still somewhat shocked. She bowed her head modestly and said, "This is my duty as a princess. Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

Li Zhao pretended to be angry, and the Dou Mu Yuanjun she played said: "Why call me Your Majesty? You are a star born alone, you should be called the Lone Mother Goddess."

Princess Honghua: "...Yes, the Mother Goddess."

"I summoned you here this time because I have something to tell you."

Li Zhao became a mother painlessly again. With a wave of her hand, the dream immediately changed.

"This is the disaster that the Tang Dynasty will face in the future."

Princess Honghua took a closer look and was terrified.

In the picture, Tibetan soldiers, with only their eye sockets exposed, captured the Anxi Protectorate and marched eastward, burning, killing and looting in Chang'an. Countless people wailed as they were burned to ashes by the flames.

The centuries-old capital was destroyed in an instant.

After reading it, Princess Honghua was shocked and frightened, and her little face turned pale as paper.

This image touched upon her deepest fears.

The Emperor and Empress ordered her and her family to return to the ancient land of Tuyuhun in order to contain Tubo.

If Tubo can invade Chang'an in the future, what about her and her family?

I'm afraid he's already dead!

Princess Honghua resisted the churning of acid in her stomach and looked up at Dou Mu Yuanjun: "Mother Goddess, what do you want me to do?"

Li Zhao used the skill [Speaking Brilliantly], and the Dou Mu Yuanjun she played said in a gentle voice: "Your sister Yu Dou Xuan Zun is a casual person, and Tai Bai Zi Qi and the other five are not treated well by the emperor. They don't get along with the emperor and don't want to guard the Western Regions."

"Therefore, I hope you can take on the heavy responsibility of protecting Anxi, guarding the border of the Tang Dynasty, and resisting the Western Turks and Tubo."

Princess Honghua widened her eyes in disbelief: "Guard Anxi and resist the Turks! Me, me??"

Li Zhao looked encouragingly, "Yes, you. You can do it."

"When the Tuyuhun Prime Minister Xuan Wang attacked you under the pretext of offering sacrifices to the mountain god, you remained fearless, saw through the conspiracy, and fled to Shanshan City with your husband. How brave you are."

"Your husband and grandchildren are too mediocre. Apart from you, no one in the Tuyuhun royal family can protect the border of the Tang Dynasty."

It’s not that Li Zhao looked down on the Tuyuhun royal family, but Princess Honghua’s husband was really cowardly and useless. There was nothing special about the other children of Princess Honghua, both boys and girls.

If one wanted to set a role model to inspire women, Princess Honghua, like Princess Wencheng, would be Li Zhao's best choice.

"General, no—Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiping."

"Are you willing to take on this responsibility and become the true Queen of Qinghai?"

"Your sisters may not help the emperor, but they will definitely help you."

Dou Mu Yuanjun's sweet words were still ringing in her ears, and Princess Honghua was in a trance.

She was afraid of Tubo and Western Turks, but the Tang Dynasty behind her could hardly give her more support.

Since going to the frontier, Princess Honghua has lived in worry every day because she can neither resist the Tang Dynasty nor deal with Tubo.

Now, Dou Mu Yuan Jun gave her hope.

Her sisters are good at fighting and are extremely brave star gods who are her eternal support.

Princess Honghua's chest rose and fell, and her expression suddenly became serene. She bowed to Dou Mu Yuanjun and said, "I will obey the Mother Goddess's orders."

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Go ahead and fight on the battlefield."

"I've left a gift for you in the real world."

The dream was shattered, and in the real world, Princess Honghua opened her eyes and looked out the window.

It was still a pitch-black night outside the window, but the next moment, it was suddenly as bright as day!

The huge cry of the phoenix woke up half of the people in the city.

Princess Honghua ran out of the door barefoot and looked up. A huge nine-colored bird flew from the sky. It flicked its claws and threw a long white jade box into Princess Honghua's hand.

Princess Honghua opened the box, and inside lay a sword and a book.

Li Zhao’s gift, the Longquan Sword, "True Record of Military Training"!

Princess Honghua's eyes were a little confused at first, and then gradually became firm.

She threw away the white jade box, picked up the military book, and drew out her sword in a flash!

The sword's sharp edge was exposed, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the sword, reflecting a menacing cold light.

Who says women are not heroes? The Dragon Spring is chirping on the wall every night!

When news of Princess Honghua's adventure reached the capital, Li Zhi immediately asked the Star God of Li Chao, who simply smiled and said, "Emperor, your family is very lucky."

"The Mother Goddess just sent a message saying that Princess Guanghua is one of my sisters, the Supreme Star Lord of Taiwei Youyuan."

The general of the Western Frontier of Taiwei will exercise his power and punish those who disobey.

Li Zhi was overjoyed. Princess Honghua, that is, Princess Guanghua, was a daughter of the royal family. The Tang Dynasty had a new star god to help it!

He immediately issued an edict: "Princess Guanghua is the incarnation of the Star God. She should be given the same status as the Star God Princess Wencheng. She should be given a government office and become a county prince. Her title should be changed to Honghua. She should also be given the title of King of Qinghai and rule the former Tuyuhun territory."

Princess Honghua, King of Qinghai!

There is one more queen in this ancient land!
