I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

"See Your Majesty!"

Wu Meiniang lowered her head, her voice timid, yet revealing a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

His hands were tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, and his body was trembling slightly, not knowing whether it was out of nervousness or excitement.

Li Chengqian didn't have much doubts. After all, he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He grew up in the palace and had seen all kinds of people and things.

When in the palace, almost all of my father's concubines, unless they were too stupid, would remember what the prince looked like, so it was normal that someone could recognize him at this moment.

"You're quite clever. Get up."

Li Chengqian's tone was relatively gentle. He looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground in front of him with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Meiniang answered respectfully, then slowly stood up. She was so excited that she could even clearly hear the beating of her heart in her chest. The "thump, thump" sound seemed to be about to burst through her chest.

She kept controlling her emotions, and kept telling herself in her mind: "Don't get excited, don't get excited."

Li Chengqian saw that she kept her head down, and felt a little confused, and frowned slightly.

"Lift your head for me!"

Although his voice was not loud, it carried an authority that could not be disobeyed, and it was particularly clear at the quiet temple gate.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she knew that her chance had come. She took a deep breath, as if mustering up her courage, and raised her head timidly, revealing a pitiful and lovely look.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, with a hint of shyness in their clarity. Her cheeks were faintly flushed, and her lips were slightly pursed. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.

Li Chengqian was also stunned when he saw Wu Meiniang's appearance, of course he was not stunned because of how beautiful Wu Meiniang was.

The main thing is that the girl in front of me still looks like a little girl. My father is 43 years old, and the girl in front of me looks only about 15 or 16 years old.

This huge age gap made Li Chengqian feel emotional.

He thought to himself, what an evil feudal society! If such a situation happened in modern times, Lao Li would probably face at least ten years in prison.

However, Li Chengqian had seen many such things in the Tang Dynasty over the years, so it was not surprising.

I just feel a little sad that this young girl in her prime has to spend the rest of her life in this small temple. I still feel a little sorry.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's heart softened, and his tone became much softer. He asked with some concern.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

When Wu Meiniang heard His Majesty's tone become so gentle, she suppressed her inner excitement, folded her hands in front of her, and said respectfully.

"My name is Wu Meiniang, and I just turned seventeen this year."

Hearing what the little girl said, Li Chengqian was stunned, and his heart was like a pot of boiling water.

His eyes widened, and he thought to himself, "Is this Wu Meiniang, the only female emperor in history, Empress Wu Zetian?"

Li Chengqian just looked at Wu Meiniang quietly, his eyes revealing a complex expression, including surprise, confusion, and a hint of unspeakable meaning.

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She really couldn't guess what the emperor meant by that look.

"So you're still so young."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but say this, his mind still immersed in the shock just now, and he couldn't recover for a while.

Wu Meiniang didn't know what His Majesty was talking about, so she could only tell the truth.

She replied with a bewildered look on her face.

"Your Majesty, I cannot understand what you mean."

"It's okay, you don't need to understand. Wu Meiniang, was your surname given by the late emperor?"

Li Chengqian came back to his senses and continued asking. He wanted to further confirm the identity of the woman in front of him. After all, this was related to an encounter that could rewrite history.
