Wu Zetian is good at calculation, ruthless and involved in literature and history. In the fifth year of Yonghui (654), Wu Zetian gave birth to the eldest daughter Princess Anding Temple. According to New Tang Book and Zi Jian, after Princess Anding was born, Queen Wang visited her in January.
She loved and teased the princess. After the Queen went out, Wu Zetian strangled the girl while no one was around and covered her with a quilt. When Li Zhi arrived, Wu Zetian pretended to laugh, lifted the quilt and looked after the children together, and found her daughter was dead. Wu Zetian cried.
Ask people around you what's going on, and people around you will say, "The Queen has just been here." Li Zhi flew into a rage and said, "The queen killed my daughter!" Wu Zetian cried and scolded the king and queen for their sins.
The explanation of Queen Wang was unclear, and Li Zhi had the intention of "abolishing the king" from then on (but this matter was controversial, and the Book of Old Tang and Tang written by the Five Dynasties only recorded the sudden death of the princess, but did not specify its cause of death).

When Wu Zetian was still in infancy, Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian's mother Yang and said in surprise: "My wife's bones will definitely give birth to a son!"
Wu Zetian's mother sold her two sons Wu Hewu to Yuan Tiangang for face reading. But Yuan Tiangang said that he can be an official with Taoism, but he is only a risk-averse who can protect his family, and it should not be too expensive.
