Princess An Le, also known as Li Bao'er, was the daughter of Li Xian, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and her mother was Wei, so she was known as the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty.
In Daming Palace, Li Bingbing played the role of Princess Anle.
The birth process of Princess An Le was not satisfactory, and Wu Zetian was suspicious of Li Xian at that time, fearing that it would threaten her status, so he decided to demote Li Xian's family to Luling. Princess An Le was born during the period when Webster went to Fangzhou, as a degraded emperor, how good was her situation? So, in an emergency, she quickly wrapped Princess Anle in clothes and named her Li Bao'er.
Tang Gongyan and Liu Naping played the role of Princess An Le.
Although Li Xian's family was degraded and his material conditions were not comparable to that of the imperial palace, he was undoubtedly a competent father. He provided her with the best things, the best food, and pampered her. In addition, Li Bao'er also has an older brother named Li Chongrun, who took care of her, and Li Bao'er's childhood life was also quite good.
Finally, on this day in 705 AD, Li Xian successfully ascended to the throne by virtue of the Shenlong coup, and Li Bao'er no longer needed to live a simple life. But her heart couldn't be happy! Indeed, Li Bao'er was born a noble woman, her father was the emperor, her mother was the empress, and in addition to that, she had an older brother of the crown prince. Her grandmother was the famous Wu Zetian, and she herself was a legitimate princess, which made Li Bao'er's heart gradually sprout a thirst for power.
In addition, the occurrence of an incident may make Li Bao'er realize more deeply that the true value of power lies in the death of her biological brother Li Chongrun. At this time, he realized that his fate was so closely related to his father. When it comes to Li Chongrun, his fate is actually quite tragic. As the rightful eldest son, he is undoubtedly the future heir and has a bright future. However, when Li Xian was demoted, he soon became a prisoner. His life at home was very difficult. Eventually, Li Xian's father was recalled, and he was once again canonized as crown prince. However, this wonderful time did not last long. "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Li Chongrun" records: "In the first year of Dazu, someone secretly discussed with his sister Yongtai County Lord and son-in-law Wu Yanji, King of Wei, and others how Zhang Yi's brother was allowed to enter the palace, and was punished by the cane of the Heavenly Order, when he was only nineteen years old Li Chongrun ended his life in a hurry after discussing the issue of Wu Zetian's male favorite, and died at the age of nineteen.
Back to the topic, Li Xian's love for Li Bao'er gradually deepened because of the exile he suffered as a child, and he almost became a slave of his daughter, thus forming a pampered, arrogant, domineering and ** character.
Spoiled and become bossy.
Li Bao'er's thirst for power grows day by day, and she hopes that she can be like her grandmother, Wu Zetian. She called the crown prince Lee Chongjun a slave simply because he was a concubine. Li Bao'er also appealed to his father, Emperor Li Xian, asking for the abolition of Li Chongjun's status and making her the crown princess, and claiming that all people with the surname Wu are qualified to become emperors, because I was originally the emperor's daughter, why can't I become emperor. From an emotional point of view, Lee's behavior became more indulgent, and as the years passed, she gradually showed graceful posture and developed unusual associations with many men. Before becoming Wu Chongxun's wife, she had already had an intimate relationship with him, became pregnant out of wedlock, and gave birth to a boy within six months of marriage. After Wu Chongxun's death, Li Bao'er chose to marry Wu Chongxun's cousin Wu Yanxiu. Before this, the two already had a deep relationship, and Li Bao'er also invited Wu Yanxiu to spend a happy time with her mother, Empress Wei.
Too extravagant and unrestrained.
She had previously asked Li Xian to give her the Kunming Pool, but Li Xian did not agree. Princess An Le decided to build Dingkun Pond herself and forcibly seized the land of the people's houses. To this end, Si Nongqing Zhao Lushi repaired her and used stones to imitate the topography of Huashan, forming intricate stone steps and stone bridges, with streams meandering and spraying water in stone springs. And she built the pond on a great mountain. In addition, they made treasure furnaces and carved monsters and sacred birds on them, which were also inlaid with countless clams and corals. She also planted a variety of flowers and plants around the pool, making it a place to watch and entertain. She also went around forcibly robbing commoner women to increase the number of slaves in her own mansion, and insisted on surpassing her father's Kunming Pool.
Princess An Le once did a very important thing, that is, to make bird dresses. It is said that the skirt is embroidered with the images of more than 100 kinds of birds, and it is made from the feathers of hundreds of birds, and it is said that different colors can be seen from different angles. At that time, people were as comfortable as wearing clothes after wearing it. However, the process of making such a skirt was extremely difficult, and "the feathers of the exotic birds and wild animals of Jiangling were almost exhausted", so civilian, military and hundred officials followed suit.
Of course, Princess Anle also suffered an unfortunate fate. She colluded with Empress Wei to plot to usurp power and poison Li Xian, causing chaos in the imperial court. Eventually, when she tried to hide her true identity, she was executed by Li Longji at the age of twenty-five and demoted to a "rebellious concubine".
