Great General

The second day, Zhao Fu once again went to the palace, where Wu Zetian gave him a Seventh-Ranked Petty Official position so that he could formally appear at the center of Great Tang's power. There was no hurry, as seizing the throne would take quite some time.

After returning to the palace that she rested in, Wu Zetian had all of the palace maids leave and summoned Zhao Fu in. When Zhao Fu walked in, he found a graceful and heroic-looking woman with tanned skin next to Wu Zetian.

Zhao Fu walked in and paid his respects, saying, "I humbly greet the Empress!"

Seeing this, Wu Zetian lightly laughed and said, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to make appearances. This is my daughter, Princess Taiping. Her name is Li Lingyue, and she is now your woman!"

Zhao Fu felt quite surprised – this woman in front of him was the famed Princess Taiping. Zhao Fu felt that it was quite unnecessary for Wu Zetian to give her daughter to him.
