Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 395
Undoubtedly, the idea of ​​the Gaoming beauty pageant is basically to refer to the talent show of later generations, such as Super XX, Happy XX, China Good XX, etc...

As the saying goes, "I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run", this kind of thing that is common in later generations has become a brilliant originality in Datang, and Wu Mei was taken aback for a while.

Seeing her stunned and admiring eyes, Gao Ming became even more eloquent.

"The first is the audition, which is in charge of the counties around the country. Each county has [-] places, and only the [-] women who stand out are eligible to participate in the semi-finals!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei's eyes lit up immediately.

"Then...His Royal Highness, will the rematch be held in the state or county?"

"That's right!"

Gao Ming was very satisfied with Wu Mei's wit, and immediately gave her a thumbs up.

"The semi-finals are held in each state and county. The number of places will vary according to the size of the state. The lower state has ten places, the middle state has twenty, and the upper state has thirty. There are hundreds of states and counties in Datang. In other words, thousands of beauties will be selected in the rematch."

Hearing that there were thousands of people, Wu Mei's eyes widened again.

"Uh...there are so many people!"

Seeing Wu Mei's shocked look, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"Yeah, but it's definitely not enough with so many people, so we have to go to the next stage—the knockout round!"

Having said that, he immediately grinned.

"Thousands of beauties from different prefectures and counties will enter the three major cities of Taiyuan Prefecture in the northern capital, Luoyang Prefecture in the eastern capital, and Jingzhao Prefecture. The promotion competition hosted by the business alliance, and the person in charge is you!"

"I?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei immediately stood up from her seat with a "chuckle".

"His Royal Highness, you mean to let my concubine preside over this promotion match!"

"Correct!"

"This this……"

After getting Gao Ming's affirmative answer, Wu Mei became even more excited immediately. Seeing her excited appearance, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile a little, and waved his hand towards her.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry, sit down and listen to me tell you slowly."

"Yes!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei endured her excitement and sat down, only then did Gao Ming speak again.

"This promotion competition is actually to select 1000 people out of 100 people. The beauty is the second. Our main purpose is to delay the marriage age of women in the Tang Dynasty to 16 years old. Do you understand when I say that?"

Gao Ming made a rule from the very beginning that women who participate in the beauty pageant must be unmarried women over the age of 16. This is undoubtedly the threshold for the beauty pageant.

Wu Mei also understood this, so she nodded immediately after hearing Gao Ming's words.

"Well! I understand, when the time comes, I will try my best to keep those older women."

Although this is what she said, Wu Mei has already made up her mind, she must try her best to choose the beautiful one, otherwise if the "No. The laughing stock of others.

Gao Ming didn't know what Wu Mei was thinking, and when he heard her agree, he immediately burst out laughing.

"Haha, that's right. When the time comes, you will keep 100 people, and the remaining 900 people will each give them an encouragement award of two pennies, and then send someone to send them home!"

"Yes! But what about the remaining 100 people? Are you going to choose yourself, Your Highness?"

"Of course!"

As soon as Wu Mei finished speaking, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"The final final is to select the top ten from 100 people. This is the focus of the beauty pageant. How could I not come in person? And it's not just me, I plan to invite my old man to join me!"

"what?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei's eyes widened again, and her face was also full of shock.

"His Royal Highness, do you still plan to let His Majesty be with you?"

"Of course, that's a must!"

Having said that, Gao Ming grinned again, revealing a calculating smile.

"Hey, after deciding the top three, I will let them wear veils, and arrange for people to carry them on a walking cart, and then sprinkle flowers all the way around Chang'an. If they want, I can also arrange for them to marry into Chang'an city. The famous honorable family has become a beauty pageant winner!"

There is no doubt that Gao Ming's is definitely a big deal. Hearing what he said, Wu Mei's eyes widened again.

"This……"

After a short period of sluggishness, Wu Mei immediately came back to her senses, and she quickly bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness is wise. If there are ordinary women who marry into honorable families through beauty pageants, then let alone your Highness, you let them marry at the age of 16. Even if you let them marry, they will be willing!"

The reason why women in the Tang Dynasty married early was not because they wanted to, but because their parents worried that they would not be able to marry when they were old. If they married a good family when they were old, then who would refuse?
In fact, to put it bluntly, this problem is mainly caused by the men of Datang, because the men of Datang are all a group of lolicon!

And Gao Ming intends to take this opportunity of the beauty pageant to change everything!
As a man, Gao Ming also knows the problems of men, the most important of which is to save face.

In Gao Ming's view, as long as the beauty is selected through the beauty pageant, regardless of whether she is really beautiful or not, the title of "Top Ten in the Tang Dynasty" alone can make those Chang'an honorables who like face They flock to it.

What's wrong with being older?That is the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty!
What?Don't you think it's pretty?

It must be because your eyesight is not good. The grand finals are presided over by His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince. Even they think it is beautiful. Could it be that your vision is better than that of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince?
This is outrageous!
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately began to consider whether he should take advantage of this beauty pageant to seek some "benefits" for himself.

"If there is a super beautiful girl, then I will stay, if not, I will coax the old man into the harem, so that the ending will be happy, I am a genius, hahahaha..."

Hearing Gao Ming's "rebellious" words to herself, Wu Mei couldn't help covering her small mouth and laughing.

"His Royal Highness is talking nonsense again. Your Majesty is the one you can coax as much as you want. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. Otherwise, if someone overhears you, Your Highness, you will be in trouble."

Hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming immediately showed her a wicked smile.

"Hey, I'm not talking nonsense. My old man's aesthetics is inherently problematic. Otherwise, how could he keep such a beautiful woman like you in the palace for several years? It's easy for me. Come on, poo!"

"Your Highness, don't you...hehe..."

Just when Gao Ming hugged Wu Mei to "make trouble", Li Shimin, who was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, suddenly sneezed two times in a row.

"Ah Choo... Ah... Ah Choo!"
