When Songtsen Gampo sent his third marriage proposal to the Tang court, the emperor agreed. The news reached the imperial harem, and every princess of marriageable age turned pale and burst into tears… Tibet was bitterly cold, short on clothes and medicine, and its people lived on raw meat and blood. Whoever was sent there was as good as dead! No, they needed a scapegoat. Li Yuntong, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prince of Jiangxia’s household, was as lovely as a flower, unmatched in beauty. She should have married into a family of equal standing like any other noblewoman and lived out her days in wealth and splendor. But an imperial decree shattered the course of her life… She traveled thousands of miles and would never see her homeland again. She spent forty years away, and never returned to Chang’an. From the Central Plains to the Western Regions, she brought the people there the Tang Dynasty’s finest production techniques, medicine, architecture, calendrical science, arts, literature, laws, and Buddhist scriptures… The people of Tibet called her the “Green Tara.” Two men loved her, countless people revered her, and generations would sing her praises… Princess Wencheng’s life was truly full of twists and turns, grand and turbulent.
Actually. Princess Wencheng remained a concubine until her death. . . . Tubo originally had a queen, but she was not favored throughout her life.
A large sum of money was given as a dowry to become a concubine. After Princess Wencheng, there was Princess Jincheng. At the end of the cultural export, people turned against her and beat her down. Hahaha
