What caught my eye was a beautiful face. Under the cloud-like black hair bun, the skin was as bright as snow, and the eyebrows were as dark as black, which was clear and refined!

A pair of beautiful eyes are as deep as the lake, but clear and bright as it is, with sorrow appearing and looming in elegance. The look is touching and touching the heart.

The sandalwood mouth is slightly opened, the lips are slightly red, and the right nose bridge is combined to form a perfect face, which is beautiful and charming.

A dress with blue sky and blue sky, moving lightly with the wind, is already quite out of the world. Standing in the ice and snowy land beside the Qujiang Pool, it seems like a fairy stepping on the waves from the mist of water.

Very beautiful, really beautiful!

As soon as this woman appeared, the woman present was overshadowed. Princess Changle, who was born with beauty, was immediately inferior, and Du Xijun was not as good as that.

In an instant, his eyes met, and Xie Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

The woman also happened to see Xie Yi and seemed a little curious about this strange face, but she was slightly displeased with the rude behavior of not avoiding such a greedy person and greedy for beauty.

But in the blink of an eye, the woman lowered her head and continued to talk to Princess Changle and Changsun Chong. Standing at the window upstairs, she could only see her elegant manner and exhale like an orchid.

"Brother Xie is so awesome!"

"Where do you start with this?" Xie Yi couldn't help but feel inexplicably when he heard the praise.

"Isn't this amazing thing to look at Mrs. Zheng directly, greedy for her beautiful face without evading it?" Fang Yiai's words were inevitably strange.

Du He, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Brother Xie loves this peerless look? Brother Xie is not married yet, and Mrs. Zheng is not married either. If you have the intention, it would be better... cough cough!"

Just a joke, Du and Fang Yiai saw their acquaintances coming to say hello, leaving Xie Yi with a black thread. It is indeed a stunning beauty, but when they first met, they thought about getting married, which was too...

But then again, marrying such a peerless beauty home and incorporating it into a private room is indeed very attractive to men.

But after sitting down, Cheng Chumo approached and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyao, men love beauty, and it is normal for them to be attracted to beautiful women. There are many ladies who are here for the banquet today. If you like one, it is not difficult to ask for marriage based on your appearance.

But we can't just be tempted by Mrs. Zheng, and we can't have unreasonable thoughts. Du He and Fang Yiai bullied you in the first Chang'an and deliberately deceived you."

"Uh, why? Who is that Miss Zheng?" Xie Yi couldn't help but be surprised. Why was he unable to be moved by the most beautiful woman?

"This..." Cheng Chu pondered for a moment and sighed: "This matter is a long story..."

After hearing Cheng Chumo's feelings, Xie Yi realized that this woman was the daughter of Zheng Renji, a common housekeeper, and was named Zheng Liwan, and she had left her name in history books.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Zheng Liwan was pretty when she was fifteen years old. She was a famous beauty in Chang'an City. The evaluation of "the beauty was beyond reach at that time" is seen in historical books.

After the stunning reputation spread, it naturally attracted the attention of many men, including Emperor Li Shimin.

His Majesty Li Er is also a man, so he will naturally be attracted by beauty and will not mind that old cows eat young grass. However, if they are too direct, they will inevitably lose their reputation.

When he was in a dilemma, the understanding and virtuous queen Changsun learned that her husband was willing to ask for a royal concubine, and called him a famous family, a gentle and dignified woman, so she hired her to be Chonghua (one of the nine concubines).

It has to be said that Empress Changsun can be a man, and is deeply favored by Li Shimin, and it makes sense to have the reputation of being a virtuous queen. The queen came forward and hired Zheng Liwan to the palace with a reputation of being a gentle and kind character. Li Er, who won a beautiful woman and did not lose his reputation, must be grateful. Empress Changsun will also win the reputation of being generous and virtuous, which can be said to be a killer.

Unfortunately, unexpectedly, an accident happened when the edict was issued and the enthronement was about to set off.

Wei Zheng didn't know where to learn that Zheng Liwan had promised to marry Lu's son and had a long engagement, so he rushed to the palace to dissuade him. After a long statement that the king should love the people as much as his son, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty takes care of the concubine, so he wants the people to have the joy of family. Is this the common way for the ruler?

Now the daughter of Zheng has been granted a promise for a long time. Your Majesty has no doubts about it and has no consultant. He spread it all over the world. Is it a way for the people's parents? Although my rumors have not been reported, I am afraid that I will lose my holy virtue and dare not hide my feelings. You must write your letter and pay attention to what you want."

In a word, you are the emperor and also a parent. Now you are forcibly marrying a woman who has been married to others as a concubine. It is not a ruler. The way of parents is harmful to the sage virtue. When we ministers hear the news, we dare not hide it. The king must keep a historical record in every move. Please pay attention to your thoughts and act cautiously.

In fact, His Majesty Li Er may not know about Zheng Liwan's marriage to the Lu family, or it may be deliberately ignored. Anyway, the Lu family dare not make any statement. They pretended not to know, as long as the beauty was included in the palace, the raw rice became a cooked rice, no one could do anything.

Wei Zheng, who was so straightforward and "not eye-catching", suddenly ruined His Majesty Li Er's good deeds.

However, the left servant Fang Xuanling, the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Minister of Rites, Wang Gui, and the Censor Wei Ting were eager to protect his master. He supported the act of accepting concubines on the grounds that "the woman was with Lu, and she had no obvious signs. After the ceremony was performed, she could not be stopped."

Even Lu Shuang, the Lu family, who was Xu's marriage, hurriedly refused, saying that his father had just had an ordinary relationship with the Zheng family and had no marriage agreement.

Hearing this, Li Shimin certainly refused to let go of the peerless Meishu and insisted on incorporating it into the harem. However, Wei Zheng was stubborn and insisted on opposing it.

Li Shimin blocked his words with the words of his ministers and the Lu family. Instead, Wei Zheng cited the example of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan occupying the wife of his minister Xin Chujian and demoting him, which made him frightened and frightened. He said that the Lu family did not dare to tell the truth because they were afraid.

In this way, Li Shimin was embarrassed. If he insisted on accepting a concubine, he would end up oppressing the people and forcibly marrying a woman, which would become a stain and be criticized by others.

At that time, the Xuanwu Gate had not yet had a few years of change and the overall situation was still unstable. Li Shimin did not dare to take risks rashly because of a woman. The ministers were afraid that they would be flattered and dared not say more.

In order to be a wise wise ruler who is good at accepting advice and has a good character, Li Shimin had to bear the pain of giving up his love and issued an imperial edict saying: "I have heard that the daughter of Zheng has been hired by someone before. The day when the documents were issued, the matter was not carefully examined. This is my fault and it is also a fault of the officials. Those who are granted the title of "sacrifice should stop."

After this move, Li Shimin was deeply praised by his subjects, but Zheng Liwan suffered grievances for nothing. Unfortunately, Lu Shuang, who had a engagement with him, became anxious because of this. Soon after, he died young and Zheng Liwan became a vacant family.

Although Li Shimin became a body of freedom, although he had thoughts about it, due to the royal face and reputation of the emperor, he could no longer accept the daughter of Zheng into the palace.

In this way, Zheng Liwan really suffered. Will others dare to marry a woman that the emperor wanted but did not get? There are many noble men in Chang'an City who covet her appearance, but no one dared to have any inappropriate thoughts.

Especially after a playboy was drunk, he intended to be rude to Zheng Liwan. As a result, after drowned in Longshouqu the next day, no one in Chang'an dared to disrespect Zheng Liwan.

Poor Zheng Liwan has a peerless appearance, is familiar with history books and classics, and has good poetry and essays. She is talented and beautiful, but no one dares to marry her. She wasted five or six years of youth in vain. Now she is already ten years old, but Yun Ying is hard to marry her.

In the Tang Dynasty, where early marriages are common, women get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, they are really considered "older leftover women".

What is even more regrettable is that I don’t know how many years I will waste in the future, and even my whole life will last, which makes people sigh.

Just now, Du He and Fang Yiai were interested in teasing Xie Yi, and deliberately made a trap, instigating Xie Yi to pursue Zheng Liwan. Cheng Chumo was a real person and knew that Xie Yi had helped his father, so he informed him of the details in time and dissuaded him, for fear that Xie Yi would not understand and anger Long Yan.

The anger of the wool? It’s a problem!

Xie Yi was angry and even wanted to curse Li Shimin a few words, "If you don't marry a woman, you won't be allowed to marry someone else?" Where did the weird rules come from?

Although this statement was not clearly expressed, Zheng Liwan was indeed harmed. What is it that you, Li Shimin, ignore him and pretend to be stupid?

If you want, don’t pretend to be worried about your reputation, and you will bring Zheng Liwan into the palace, either ask him for marriage or clearly convey the news that he will let him get married.

If you don’t know, you don’t know what it means to delay the youth of a woman in vain? As for the words about the royal face and the emperor’s majesty, it’s really nonsense!

No wonder Zheng Liwan had a faint sadness in her eyes. This is probably why!

Watching the beauty climb up the stairs and the peerless beauty slowly revealed, Xie Yi suddenly felt sympathy and compassion...

...

PS: The historical books only record the daughter of Zheng Renji, the general storyteller, and has no name. I don’t know where the name “Liwan” came from, but readers are familiar with it and even used to it. Therefore, this article adopts it and is still called “Zheng Liwan”.

Regarding her age, it is certain that Empress Changsun wanted to hire her to enter the palace at about fifteen, but it seems controversial in which year the incident happened.

Volume 2 of "Zhenguan Zhengyao" records it as the second year of Zhenguan, but it seems that there is also a saying that the sixth year or eighth year of Zhenguan is the sixth year of Zhenguan. (I forgot where I saw it)

After checking the information, I found that it was related to this matter. Wen Yanbo, the Secretary of the Secretariat at that time, also participated. Wen Yanbo became the Secretary of the Secretariat in the fourth year of Zhenguan. This is inferred that it should have happened after the fourth year of Zhenguan.

In addition to the plot needs, this article will be based on the sixth year of Zhenguan. Zheng Liwan was fifteen years old at the time, and Zheng Liwan made her debut for the first time at the winter of Zhenguan in the eleventh year of Zhenguan.
