Chapter 3: First Encounter
At this time, a loud shout suddenly sounded, "The emperor has arrived."
Everyone immediately dismounted, waved their hands towards the high platform, bowed down, and shouted "See my emperor".
Until the high platform came to "flat", the sons got up, Shen Sanwen looked at the high platform, there were already three people sitting on the high platform, and in the middle was a middle-aged man, with vertical hair, his face was tired, and he was wearing a really yellow dragon robe, embroidered with a golden dragon, with teeth and claws, the golden dragon's eyes were blazing, as if staring at himself, his mouth was wide open, his teeth and claws were dancing, with a hideousness.
On the right side of the seat is a middle-aged woman, with a gorgeous headdress, a golden phoenix seems to be lined up with her hair, fluttering her wings, and her clothes are also extremely gorgeous, the colors are very gorgeous, embroidered with small flowers, gold threads, and gold threads, which are worth a lot of money at a glance.
Although she is resplendent in gold, the woman is smiling and very kind, but there is confidence in her kindness, and she sits in a dignified posture and places her left hand in front of her abdomen, giving people the impression of not being angry but mighty. Looking at the complexion, I felt that this woman was unspeakably expensive, and such a luxurious dress not only did not make people feel vulgar, but felt that this dress was not enough to match this person's breath.
Several sons whispered, on the right is the Wu Meiniang who favors the harem, this person is decisive, intelligent, no one in the harem is dissatisfied, and the emperor's major affairs are also discussed with him, although he is a person in the harem, but his ability and wrist are not inferior to men, and he is the real power of the dynasty.
More people are full of sighs at the girl on the left, with outstanding appearance, youthful and beautiful, rare in the world, and captivating the country and the city.
Shen Sanwen carefully observed the emperor and Wu Zetian, remembered their appearances, and then looked to the left, and was shocked!
I don't want to look away anymore.
The girl on the left looked at the people below with a calm face, and at a glance, Shen Sanwen felt that this trip was worthwhile, the girl's eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, and her eyes were gentle, as if she was whispering softly. The face is very cold, a look overlooking all beings, looking at the people below, this temperament should not be low, but I don't know which powerful person in the history books.
The girl's eyes swept below, someone next to her whispered in her ear, her lips squirmed, it should be introducing the sons below, the girl responded occasionally, but there was no contempt when she responded, and the words gave people a cordial feeling, and the red lips lightly exposed the girl's heart, far less cold than her face, I don't know what kind of character it is. Sanwen has a very good impression of this woman, this should be a cold-hearted and high-ranking person, it should be a relative of the emperor, such a beautiful person, I don't know if I am lucky enough to know each other.
As a person with a modern soul, Sanwen ignores the customs of the Tang Dynasty and the historical facts of arranged marriages in ancient times, and thinks about whether he can pursue a beautiful woman, how to pursue a beautiful woman, talk about a small love, and then return the family to the husband and wife, and be a couple for the rest of their lives.
Slowly, the girl's eyes looked at Shen Sanwen, and Shen Sanwen also looked at her with blazing eyes, her eyes revealing joy and hope, and even more admiration for the woman. Between looking at each other, Shen Sanwen felt that there was no one around him, only the beautiful woman in front of him in his eyes, and a feeling of love filled his heart, and he smirked unconsciously.
The three major illusions of life immediately surfaced. Does she like me too?
Seeing him like this, the girl sneered and stopped looking at him, and there was a clear look of disdain in her sneer.
Just for this moment, Shen Sanwen felt his heart broken. The girl's smile was undisguised, revealing contempt and disdain, and for a while, Shen Sanwen began to doubt life, did she look down on me?
"I heard that Princess Taiping, the pearl of the Holy Palm, is beautiful and fragrant, and the country is captivating, presumably this beauty is, right?"
It's actually Princess Taiping, this princess doesn't have a good reputation in the history books, and the ending is not good, as an otaku, and an otaku who watches "Deep Palace Strategy", when watching the TV series, I searched for the description of this princess in the history books.
Princess Taiping, the second daughter of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, is very favored by the Empress Wu, and has been powerful since she was a child, calling for wind and rain, but she has two failed marriages and is a tragic figure. Empress Wu has three sons, but the maternal love for these three sons is very little, and the last three sons all fell victim to the road to power, but this princess is different, Empress Wu planned her life for this princess like an ordinary mother, cared for her, forgave her, and protected her.
As soon as she was born, the Empress Wu was worried that Princess Taiping would be sent to the Xiongnu, Tubo and relatives, and sent her to the Taoist Hall, less than ten years old to become a monk, at the age of sixteen, the princess put on a military official uniform and hinted at the intention to choose a son-in-law, and soon married the merry boy Xue Shao, the wedding was very grand, in order to make the wide wedding sedan chair pass by, the county yamen court in the capital was demolished. Later, Xue Shao was implicated in rebellion, and starved to death in prison after being beaten with a hundred boards.
After Wu Zetian became emperor, in order to protect Princess Taiping from being victimized by the jealousy and hatred of the Wu family, he selected the appropriate age magnates from the Wu nobles to be selected by Princess Taiping, and finally decided to marry her cousin Wu Youji, and executed Wu Youji's wife, to protect the status of Princess Taiping, and to break the princess fief restrictions stipulated by the Tang Dynasty for Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping has been involved in political affairs but was concealed by Wu Zetian, and later Wu died, his two sons succeeded to the throne one after another, Queen Wei wanted to follow Wu Zetian as the emperor, but never dared to move the ability to make good decisions, in the court has a deep foundation in the princess Taiping.
Later, Princess Taiping and Li Longji conspired to kill Wei, and Li Dan ascended the throne, but Princess Taiping wanted to continue to control the government, and even ascended the throne as emperor, but was killed by Li Longji.
During Princess Taiping's second marriage, the concubine Wu Youji was forbearant and humble, and Princess Taiping did not care about Wu Youji at all, and wantonly raised male pets, so the reputation was not good.
Sanwen was very puzzled as why such a beautiful woman would become as written in the history books.
