During a visit to Nga My area, listening to a clear voice of a girl, Dinh Bo Linh dismounted his horse and asked the girl to call, but did not see. He suddenly thought of his father's former friend, Duong The Hien, who was nearby, and stopped by to visit. The Hien asked the daughter of Van Nga to invite her guests. She had the same voice as Dinh Bo Linh singing. The king asked to welcome the girl to the capital, at that time Van Nga was 16 years old. Later, she was one of the five emperors of King Dinh, who was very loved by the king because of his beauty and understanding.
In 979, Dinh Bo Linh and Prince Dinh Lien were killed by eunuchs Do Thich. The courtiers honoring Venerable Vuong Dinh Toan (only 6 years old) crowned the Emperor, and Duong Van Nga was the Queen's Queen. The general of the Shogunate Le Hoan (Le Dai Hanh) was chosen by Duong Thai Hau as the Regent and later proclaimed himself the Deputy King.
The gods Dinh Dien, Nguyen Bac, Pham Hap saw the power fall into Le Hoan's hands, and the Queen Duong Duong and Le Hoan Tu Thong should drag the troops to Hoa Lu to fight but were defeated by Le Hoan. In the northern border, the Tong enemy took advantage of the situation of the great puppet Dai Co Viet, preparing to take troops to invade.
In 980, before the invasion of Tong, Duong Hoang Hau and Le Hoan courtiers, they became Emperor, founded Tien Le house. This, Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu and Kham Dinh Viet Su Thong Giam Cuong all recorded:

"At that time, Lang Chau heard that the Song army was about to pull over, immediately made a report about it. Thai Queen ordered Le Hoan to choose the hero to fight the enemy, taking the people in Nam Sach Giang as Pham Cu Lang as a general. The family was discussing the plan to leave the army, Cu Lang and the other generals were dressed in battle suits and went straight to the Cabinet, telling everyone that: 'Now God is young, we are desperate to stop the enemy. If there is a bit of merit, then whoever knows, will it be more appropriate to set up the Cross of the Cross to become the Prince of Death, and then leave the army more? "
The soldiers who heard that shouted 'ten thousand monks'. The Queen Mother saw that everyone was willing to surrender and then asked to take the dress of Le Hoan, wearing a trench coat, invited to the throne. Since then, Le Hoan has been enthroned, changing the date of Thien Phuc in early 980, ordaining Dinh Toan as Ve Vuong ".
In July 980, Tong troops invaded Dai Co Viet. Le Hoan has risen to the throne and has deployed the resistance force to fight the enemy to protect the country. By September 3, 1981, the resistance against Tong was directly led by Le Hoan. The Song King was forced to go back to the army. After the victory, Le Hoan devoted himself to building the country.
In 982, Lê Đại Hành Dương Vân Nga was Đại Thắng Minh Hoàng Hậu. History does not say how many children they have, but according to the divine beings in the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, they have a daughter named Le Thi Phat Ngan. Later, Phai Ngan princess was married to the Electricity to command Ly Cong Uan, who opened the Ly dynasty.
At the end of her life, Queen Duong Van Nga practiced at Am Tien cave in the east of the capital of Hoa Lu. There is also a poem that is engraved on the temple wall, summarizing her life: "Two shoulders bearing two kings / queens, the Am Tien pagoda / According to her husband beat Tong Binh Chiem / Having merit with water , ungainly with life ... ". In 1000, she died.
