"Haha, Cousin Ziming is back!”

" Come, come, let me introduce you. This is the cousin of the Wu Family. She has just arrived in Chang 'an today and is temporarily staying in Qunxian Lane. Cousin Ziming, please take care of her."”

Chen Qi had just arrived at the courtyard when a slender and handsome young man walked out of the guest hall with a big laugh.

Behind him, a beautiful young girl in a white dress followed closely behind him. She quietly raised her head and looked at Chen Qi.

Although the young girl's face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars, it was still difficult to hide her heroic beauty.

The moment he saw the girl, Chen Qi could not help but use the Postnatal Sixty-four Divination Technique to check her luck.

The girl's luck was extraordinary. A thick green pillar of luck was faintly discernible in the endless white clouds. A Blue Luan was in the green pillar of luck. Its eyes were slightly closed and its wings were slightly spread as if it was about to fly.

This meant that the girl's luck had begun to flourish. The Blue Luan spread its wings and was either rich or noble.

"Chirp!"

As if sensing Chen Qi's prying, the Blue Luan in the green pillar of fate suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Chen Qi. It chirped and made an attack.

Seeing this, Chen Qi understood. Then, he dispersed the Postnatal Sixty-four Divination Techniques and looked away. He cupped his hands at Yang Zhen and said,"Ziming greets Cousin Yang Zhen. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I didn't expect Cousin to be even more elegant than before!”

Chen Qi said with a smile. This was not a compliment, but because he had discovered that Yang Zhen's martial cultivation had already reached the Fifth Stage Realm after not seeing him for a few days.

Although she wasn't as exceptional as Chen Guangrui, she still far surpassed many of her peers.

As for Fang Yiai?

He was just a few years older, so no one took him to heart.

Although he didn't know what Fang Yi 'ai was like in the historical world, he was definitely over thirty years old in this world.

Of course, this could also be because Fang Yi 'ai had experienced the small chiliocosm before. Otherwise, she would not be so old.

Chen Qi smiled and complimented Yang Zhen. Then, he turned to look at the Wu Clan's young lady who was suspected to be the future Land of the Divine Dragon and said,""Chen Qi greets Wu Clan cousin. If Wu Clan cousin doesn't abandon me, you can just call me Chen Clan cousin.”

Fortunately, during the Zhenguan period, everyone's etiquette standards for women had not reached the harsh and perverted level of the later dynasties.

Otherwise, before a woman married, even if they were cousins, they could not meet casually.

"Yuan Hua greets Chen Cousin!"

Wu Yuanhua returned Chen Qi's greeting with a smile.

Wu Yuanhua!

After Chen Qi heard the girl's name, his heart calmed down and he no longer doubted his previous guess.

Divine Dragon Empress Wu Zetian had many names, such as: Wu Wei, Wu Mei Niang, Wu Zhaoyi, Wu Cai Ren and so on.

Among them, Wu Xi was the name that Wu Zetian had given herself after she ascended the throne. For this reason, she had even created a "Zhao" character out of nothing, meaning that the sun and moon were in the sky, and Wu Xi was the world!

The name Wu Zetian wasn't her real name.

The two words "Ze Tian" came from the Analects of Confucius."Only the heavens are great, and only Yao is the ruler." It meant that the law was in the heavens. In terms of name, he was indeed a great figure. He had an extraordinary aura and had the aura of an emperor.

It was recorded that when the Wu family carried out the " Wu Zhou Revolution " in the first year of Yongchang, she wore the emperor's clothes and " enjoyed the Myriad God Palace and the Heavenly Gate ". Then, she granted amnesty to the world and changed the year title.

The people of the world felt that the Dragon God Emperor was extraordinary and had the appearance of an emperor, so they used "Zetian" as the honorific title of the Empress, not her name.

After that was the name Wu Mei Niang, which was given by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, after Wu Zetian entered the palace.

According to historical records, when Wu Zetian was fourteen years old, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin heard that she was "beautiful" and called her into the palace and conferred her the title of "talent".

Li Shimin saw that the 14-year-old Wu Ze was naturally charming and voluptuous, so he happily gave her the name "Mei Niang", so she was called Wu Mei Niang.

Finally, before Wu Zetian became the emperor, she was the Empress Dowager, Empress, Empress, and Consort Chen of the Li family's Tang Empire. Further back, her resume should be the head of the nine concubines of the Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's inner palace, the second grade Zhaoyi.

Therefore, Wu Zetian of that period was also called "Wu Zhaoyi".

Therefore, be it Wu Zetian, Wu Meiniang, or Wu Xiang, none of them were the original names of the Dragon God Emperor.

Then what was the original name of the Dragon God Emperor Wu Zetian?

The answer was Wu Yuanhua!

Yuanhua was the beginning of light and the meaning of peerless beauty.

From this name, it could be seen how much the samurai couple valued and loved their second daughter.

Although the name Wu Yuanhua had never appeared in the history books, it could be inferred from some details that it was the true name of the Dragon God Emperor.

First of all, after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she changed the year title to Dragon God.

In the same year, because they wanted to avoid the name of the emperor, all the counties in the world began to change their names.

According to the Old Book of Tang, in the first year of Shenlong, Huayuan was changed to Yong 'an, Huazhou to Taizhou, Huayin to Xianzhang, Huating to Ting County, Jianghua to Yunxi, and so on.

Even Mount Hua was renamed Mount Tai.

From this, it could be inferred that the Dragon God Emperor Wu Zetian's real name had the word "Hua".

Then why was Wu Zetian's name Wu Yuanhua and not Wu Hua?

The reason was very simple. Wu Zetian's grandfather, who was also the father of Wu Shi, was called Wu Hua.

After all, Wu Shi had been a minister of the Ministry of Works and was conferred the title of Duke of Ying. He was an important member of the imperial court. He could not give his daughter a father's name, right?

As long as it was a normal person, they would never do such a thing.

Otherwise, how awkward would it be when he called his daughter's name?

Then there were Wu Zetian's two older brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. Both of them had the word "Yuan", which was also a seniority.

Therefore, later historians inferred that Wu Zetian's original name was Wu Yuanhua.

Fortunately, Chen Qi was more interested in this kind of historical gossip in his previous life. Otherwise, it would really be like the old saying: He often worships the gods, but he doesn't know the true gods when he sees them.

That would be really awkward!
