After hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming felt very puzzled.

Because in his opinion, even the princess of the Tang Dynasty, who is famous for her arrogance and arrogance, can get married, why does no one dare to marry this girl in front of him, who is not even a Zheng girl?

This doesn't make sense!

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

"Could it be that this girl has some serious disease? Or maybe there's something bad about the behavior. ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, before Wu Mei could speak, the Zheng girl standing next to her knelt down towards Gao Ming with a "poof".

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the little girl has no bad disease, her father is a general in the previous dynasty, and her family education is quite strict, so the little woman has also learned some principles of life, and she will never dare to have any transgressions, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be clear!"

"Uh......"

was refuted like this, and thinking that what he had just said was indeed a little inappropriate, Gao Ming's face was also a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly lifted it towards the woman kneeling on the ground.

"Okay, I was wrong just now, you get up."

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the Zheng woman hurriedly thanked Gao Ming, and then slowly stood up and stood aside with her head down.

Looking at this scene, Gao Ming suddenly smiled and nodded.

"Miss Zheng, I believe it's not your fault that you can't get married, but can you tell me the reason?"

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the Zheng woman suddenly hesitated, subconsciously turned her head to look at Wu Mei, and found that Wu Mei nodded at her, so she bowed to Gao Ming with a solemn face.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, here's the thing, the little girl's name is Zheng Liwan, and her family lives in Xingyang ......"

Zheng Liwan slowly told her story, and Gao Ming sat cross-legged on the bed and listened carefully.

It turned out that in the second year of Zhenguan, that is, sixteen years ago, Zheng Liwan had just turned fifteen years old, and Empress Changsun heard that she was not only beautiful, but also smart and capable, so she persuaded Li Shimin to take her into the harem.

Of course, Li Shimin would not refuse such a good thing, so he immediately ordered Zheng Liwan to enter the palace and named her one of the nine concubines.

The nine concubines are only the four concubines, which are equivalent to the emperor's concubines, and their status is still very high, of course the Zheng family is willing.

But just when Zheng Liwan was about to become a mother, and Zheng Renji was about to become a relative of the emperor, an accident appeared.

Wei Zheng, the "-stirring stick", jumped out and said that he did not support this marriage, because Zheng Liwan had a marriage contract with a man named Lu Shuang before being elected by Li Shimin, and said that if Li Shimin insisted on going his own way, then his behavior would be no different from robbing people's daughters.

Li Shimin believed that Wei Zheng would not be untrustworthy, so he asked Lu Shuang to come and asked him if he had a marriage contract with Zheng Liwan.

Obviously, Lu Shuang did not have the courage to rob the emperor of women, so he vetoed the marriage contract with Zheng Liwan in one bite.

Although Lu Shuang denied it, Li Shimin also saw something wrong at this time, he has always cherished his reputation, and naturally he will not be stigmatized for a woman, so this marriage is gone.

Zheng Liwan failed to become a mother in the end, and what was worse was that because of the scandal with Li Shimin, the upper circles of the Tang Dynasty regarded Zheng Liwan as a forbidden and taboo, and no one dared to touch it.

In everyone's opinion, Zheng Liwan is a woman that Li Shimin looks at, and she dares to touch it if she doesn't want to die!

In this way, sixteen years have passed, and Zheng Liwan, who almost became a mother, is still alone, from a beautiful girl to an older leftover girl.

After listening to Zheng Liwan's story, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wry smile.

"I thought it was the old man's sin."

At the same time, a larger question haunts Gao Ming's heart.

"In the original history, Zheng Liwan should have married Lu Shuang, and her daughter seemed to be married to Li Shen as Princess Ji, so I became a leftover girl, and she came to participate in my beauty pageant?"

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

"Mei Niang, my tenth elder Li Shen, do you know each other?"

"Yes!"

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

"Before the Chinese New Year this year, His Majesty also issued a decree to canonize the Lu family as Princess Ji, and the concubine also asked people to send congratulatory gifts in the name of Your Royal Highness!"

"Uh......"

This time it was Gao Ming's turn to be stunned, he was stunned for a while, and then he looked at Wu Mei with a somewhat tangled expression.

"Mei Niang, the tenth princess Ji, Lu, shouldn't she be Lu Shuang's daughter?"

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

"Yes, Princess Ji is indeed the daughter of Lord Lu, it turns out that Your Highness also knows?"

“……”

Lu Shuang, the groom, is married, but the bride is not Zheng Liwan!

Faced with this situation, Gao Ming could only express his feelings in two words.

Hehe!

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly had an additional guess, that is, the things about Zheng Liwan in history had been tampered with, or the record about Zheng Liwan was simply fake!

The emperor planned to marry a woman who had a marriage contract with someone else, but in the end it was revealed that he did not marry, and all the officials let this poor woman die alone because they were afraid of the emperor.

If it is written in this way, it is estimated that without the emperor to speak, the historian who recorded all this will have to be eaten alive by the Manchu Dynasty, after all, everyone wants face.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"No wonder Mencius said that it is better to have no book than to have a book, it is indeed reasonable, it seems that I can't look at the Tang Dynasty with the eyes of reading history books in the future, after all, this is a living world, and the so-called history can only be a reference."

After the generalization, Gao looked at Zheng Liwan's eyes and softened a lot.

"Zheng Liwan, your past has given me some inspiration, so I plan to reward you, whatever you want, just ask!"

Gao Ming really wanted to reward Zheng Liwan, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, Zheng Liwan shook her head decisively.

"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, the little girl doesn't want any reward, I just ask His Royal Highness to find a good family for the little woman to marry, even if she is a concubine, the little woman is willing!"

Hearing Zheng Liwan's words, Gao Ming was inexplicably a little sad.

was originally a smart and beautiful good girl, but because of Li Shimin's momentary negligence, she became the "old aunt" of the Tang Dynasty, which is very unfair to Zheng Liwan.

What's more, in this era of social class and its strictness, a woman like her, his family will not allow her to marry a commoner, so the end waiting for her can only be a lonely old age.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming couldn't help but "snap" and slapped his thigh.

"Grandma's bear, Zheng Liwan, you don't have to be sad, a good woman like you, those who don't dare to marry you are not qualified to have you, they dare not marry, I dare!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately smiled at Zheng Liwan, revealing two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth.

"Happiness may be late, but it will never be absent, if you want, from today onwards, you will be Zheng Fengyi!"
