"Ah? Why is the palace of the Tang Dynasty called the Daming Palace, not the Great Tang Palace?" Meng Xin Zhi blurted out.
"Axin, didn't you watch 'The Lyric of Daming Palace' with your mother last year?"
"Ah? 'The Lyric of Daming Palace' is a palace, not a lyric, right?" Meng Xin Zhi recalled the content, "So the Daming Palace was built by Wu Zetian?"
"No, but Wu Zetian also worked in the Daming Palace. It was originally called Yong'an Palace, built by Tang Taizong Li Shimin for his father Li Yuan, intended to be a summer retreat palace."
"Li Shimin was one of Wu Zetian's husbands, right?"
"Uh..." Zong Ji hesitated, mainly because he didn't expect eight-year-old Mengxin Zhi to refer to husbands in such a way.
Zong Ji smiled and continued, "He was one of her husbands, that's right."
"Then why do you say Daming Palace instead of Yong'an Palace, Dad?"
"Because before Yong'an Palace was completed, Li Shimin's father had already passed away."
