In the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, there was a beautiful palace maid named Wan'er. She was smart, gentle and considerate, and was deeply loved by Emperor Li Shimin.
One day, Li Shimin met Wan'er by chance in the palace and was attracted by her beauty and intelligence. He began to have frequent contact with Wan'er, and gradually developed a deep affection for her.
Wan'er also fell in love with Li Shimin, and the two began to have a secret relationship. They often meet in the palace to share their joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Li Shimin's favor for Wan'er also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of other palace maids.
However, the relationship was not approved by the emperor. As the king of a country, Li Shimin's marriage and love life were strictly restricted. He can't have an affair with the palace maid at will, and he can't let his emotions affect the government.
Wan'er knows that their relationship will not be accepted by the world, but she still loves Li Shimin deeply. She decided to give birth to a child for Li Shisheng to prove that their love was real.
Soon after, Wan'er gave birth to a boy named Long'er. Li Shimin was very happy when he learned the news. He secretly sent someone to take Long'er out of the palace and give it to a loyal general to raise.
However, the romance was eventually revealed. Wan'er and the other palace maids were executed, and Li Shimin was also accused and criticized by the courtiers for this relationship.
Although this relationship did not end happily, the love between Wan'er and Li Shimin has become a good story for future generations. This wild history story also allows us to see the persistence and helplessness of people in love in the ancient court.
