“princess anle”

(“Princess Anle” (安樂公主) (684? – 21 July 710), personal name Li Guo’er (李裹兒), was a princess of the Chinese dynasty “Tang Dynasty”)

She was the youngest daughter of Emperor Zhongzong and his wife Empress Wei.

Popular history holds that she was doted upon heavily by her parents and siblings, which contributed to her later drive for power.

(eventually, after Emperor Zhongzong died in 710—a death that traditional historians assert was a poisoning carried out by Empress Wei and Li Guo’er (so that Empress Wei could reign and Li Guo’er could become crown princess) — a coup led by Li Guo’er’s cousin Li Longjithe Prince of Linzi and Li Guo’er’s paternal aunt Princess Taiping overthrew and killed Empress Wei and Li Guo’er)
