Gao Ming quietly entered Su Wan'er's room, and then tiptoed off his clothes and climbed onto the bed.

But what Gao Ming didn't expect was that as soon as he climbed up, a loud roar came from his ears.

"Bold!"

"Uh......"

Listening to this unfamiliar voice, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Strange, I don't seem to have heard this voice before, who is it?"

Gao Ming just thought of this, and before he could speak, he felt that his head was hit hard by a "bang", and he suddenly fainted without saying a word.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Gao Ming struggled to get up from the bed and grossed his teeth and touched the back of his head.

"Oops...... My head melon, damn it, who laid it, it's so heavy, I almost gave Lao Tzu a concussion......"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, he heard two "poof" sounds next to him, and he turned his head to see two beautiful women kneeling on the ground.

One of them also knows Gao Ming, it is Wu Mei, and the other is older, Gao Ming is very unfamiliar.

Looking at this scene, he immediately frowned.

"Wu Mei, why are you in Wan'er's house? What about Wan'er? And the one next to you, don't kneel on the ground, get up and talk! ”

"Yes!"

Wu Mei agreed, pulled the woman next to her to stand up, and then saluted Gao Ming.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, since you left, Your Majesty took Princess Jinyang and the crown prince into the palace, and the princess also followed back to the East Palace, and when she left, the princess said that there were many important things in this house, so let the concubine move over."

There are indeed a lot of important things in this room, such as Gao Ming's Tiger Whip Wine, as well as the "Sixteen Strategies" that he asked Su Wan'er to bind, as well as some superb agarwood and so on.

These are all things that Gao Ming values very much, so it is normal for Su Wan'er to let Wu Mei guard it.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded.

"I see! I see, one more question, who is this next to you? ”

"She's ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei immediately bit her lip, and then knelt down towards Gao Ming again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Zheng didn't know that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, so she was reckless, and it was the concubine who invited her to live with her, and I ask Your Highness to forgive her sins!"

"Miss Zheng?"

Hearing this title, Gao Ming's brows immediately furrowed.

"She is from the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

Wu Mei also knew that Gao Ming and the Xingyang Zheng family were very incompatible, so when she saw Gao Ming's frowning brows, she quickly shook her head.

"No, no, no...... Your Highness, you have misunderstood, Miss Zheng has nothing to do with the Zheng family in Xingyang, she came to Chang'an to participate in the beauty pageant. ”

"Uh...... Beauty pageants? ”

Hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming was dumbfounded.

In fact, if Wu Mei hadn't mentioned it, Gao Ming would have forgotten about the beauty pageant.

The beauty contest was after the Autumn Festival last year, and Gao Ming originally planned to finish this event before the end of the year, but unfortunately because of the war between Datang and Goguryeo, he didn't care about it.

But now that I hear Wu Mei say this, the beauty contest of feelings is still going on?

Thinking of this, Gao Ming helped Wu Mei, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked her.

"Since you've been doing this pageant since I'm gone, what's going on now?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Wu Mei hurriedly bowed down to him.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, not long after you set out, the top 100 in the beauty contest were selected, and the concubine thought that Your Highness, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back for the time being, so I told the princess about this."

Hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Did Wan'er let you continue the game?"

"Yes!"

Wu Mei nodded and smiled at Gao Ming.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, the crown princess did say so, so the concubine invited Princess Jinyang and His Royal Highness King Jin to carry out this beauty contest."

Hearing Wu Mei's answer, Gao Ming immediately covered his face.

"You still called the little son? Yes, I guess she took the initiative to join in the fun, she didn't make trouble, right? ”

"Uh......"

Wu Mei seemed to think of something, the corners of her mouth twitched suddenly, and she shook her head a little insincerely.

"Princess Jinyang is very well-behaved, this beauty contest is also very smooth, the top ten have also been selected, and six of them are married to the nobles of Chang'an, and many of the top 100 women are also married to the official eunuchs of Luoyang and Jingzhao Mansion!"

"Great!"

As soon as Wu Mei's words fell, Gao Ming slapped happily.

"In this way, the postponement of the girl's marriage age should not be resisted too much, well, very good!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground a little strangely.

This woman is very beautiful, according to the standard of wisdom, if you use a perfect score of 100, she has reached at least 90 points, but she seems to be a little older, and it seems that she is almost ten years old.

In later generations, it is common for girls to never get married, so it is normal, but in Datang, girls are married at the age of almost fourteen or fifteen, and some ten-year-old women have grandchildren.

You must know that the first threshold of Gao Ming's beauty pageant is "an unmarried woman who has reached the age of sixteen", so looking at it this way, the beautiful woman in front of you who looks like she is ten years old is still unmarried?

"Why can't such a beautiful woman get married? Even if many of the men in Datang are lolicon, there are always different people, right? ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately frowned at Wu Mei.

"Since this Miss Zheng is here to participate in the beauty pageant, then now that the beauty pageant is over, why is she still here?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a wry smile suddenly flashed on Wu Mei's face.

"That's because her reward has not been cashed, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that as long as they win the top name of the beauty pageant, not only will they be given bonuses, but they will also be allowed to marry the nobles of Chang'an City?"

"That's right!"

As soon as Wu Mei's words fell, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"I mean, if none of the former names can marry into the wealthy families of Chang'an, then our beauty contest will become a joke, eh...... Do you mean that this Zheng girl in front of you is the former name? ”

"yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei immediately nodded.

"Didn't Your Highness say it at the beginning? As long as the person is beautiful, try to choose the older one, Miss Zheng is the oldest of all the beauty pageant women, and she is still beautiful, so the concubine chose her to be the first place! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Mei suddenly looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, and then shook her head helplessly.

"But now the second and first places have been married to the nobles of Chang'an City, but this Zheng girl, not to mention the nobles of Chang'an, even the official eunuchs of Jingzhao and Luoyang, none of them dared to marry her, so the concubine can only leave her and wait for Your Highness to come back and dispose of her."

"Uh......"

Hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming was immediately shocked.

"No one dares to marry, where is she sacred?"
