鲁元公主 / Princess Lu Yuan

鲁元公主 / Princess Lu Yuan enters the wiki through Hanji 152 part 1 as 刘邦’s daughter in the escape after the 彭城之战. The episode identifies her as Liu Bang’s only daughter in this scene but does not develop her later biography.

The source pairs her with 刘盈 in the cart-flight account. Liu Bang finds both children while fleeing, tries to carry them away, and then pushes them off under pursuit because he believes the cart is too slow. The page keeps that role source-scoped: Princess Lu Yuan is used here to mark the danger and moral harshness of Liu Bang’s escape.

Hanji 152 part 2 gives the paired rescue its payoff through 夏侯婴. Xiahou Ying repeatedly brings Princess Lu Yuan and Liu Ying back onto the cart, and the episode treats that act as the reason Liu Ying and 吕雉 later especially honor him.

Hanji 178 does not name Princess Lu Yuan directly, but it makes 刘敬 / 楼敬 propose sending Liu Bang and 吕雉’s legitimate daughter to 冒顿单于 as the first move in 汉匈和亲政策. Because the episode ends on whether Lu Zhi will accept, this page keeps the identification source-scoped: Princess Lu Yuan is the likely policy target only insofar as she is the known legitimate daughter in the wiki’s current Hanji sequence.

Hanji 178 part 2 names her directly as Zhang Ao’s wife and places the marriage back into Han-Zhao politics. The host treats the marriage as a political alliance between Liu Bang’s household and 张耳’s Zhao line, probably formed after Liu Bang and Zhang Er’s wartime reunion. This source therefore makes Princess Lu Yuan central to two different marriage-policy fields: internal vassal alliance through 张敖 and external frontier heqin as the unresolved next question.

Hanji 179 resolves that next question as a blocked plan. 刘敬 / 楼敬 insists that the heqin bride should be Liu Bang’s real legitimate elder princess, not a substitute, and the episode identifies that figure as Princess Lu Yuan even though she is already Zhang Ao’s wife. 刘邦 initially accepts, but 吕雉’s pleading stops the transfer, making Princess Lu Yuan the person at the collision point between Han-Zhao marriage alliance, maternal household protection, and 汉匈和亲政策.

Hanji 180 shows the result of that blockage: Princess Lu Yuan is not sent to Modu, but Liu Bang still implements heqin by naming another woman as legitimate elder princess. Princess Lu Yuan therefore remains central to the policy’s family-cost problem even when the actual mission is shifted to a substitute.
