The year Princess Baocheng was born, the reign title was changed to Chengzhao.
In the thirteenth year of the Chengzhao era, Emperor Wu Su abdicated. Prince Yuan Heng was made Prince Yu, with the Northwest Eighteen States as his fiefdom.
Ji Qingwu was reluctant to let her son go to such a remote place, but it was Yuan Heng's own request, so she could only agree.
Princess Baocheng had been close with her older brother since childhood and insisted on going with him. Ji Qingwu saw the two siblings off at the palace gates, gently suggesting that if they missed their mother, she could visit them at any time.
Under their father's increasingly impatient gaze, Yuan Heng and Baocheng quickly boarded the carriage and departed.
Princess Chen Zhao ascended the throne as Empress, retaining her former title.
