Princess Xincheng's initial title was Princess of Hengshan County, when she was 8 years old, her father named her princess of Hengshan County, but in the records of the "Six Classics of Tang", it was not possible to use the famous mountain and Dachuan as titles, and Li Shimin broke the convention to give the princess of Hengshan County a unique honor, which showed his love for her.
When she was 9 years old, Li Shimin's prime minister Wei Zheng was seriously ill at home, he sent the imperial doctor to take care of Wei Zheng at home, and often came to visit him personally, facing Wei Zheng who was bedridden, Li Shimin felt very sad and silently shed tears, Wei Zheng had followed him for several years, was a rare and important person beside him, had been assisting him to sit firmly in Jiangshan, seeing that he died soon, he wanted to do something for him, so he wanted to give his favorite daughter Princess Hengshan County to his son. He pointed to the princess of Hengshan County, who was following, and said to Wei Zheng, "Quickly open your eyes and see your daughter-in-law", Wei Zheng was touched after hearing this, but he was seriously ill and could not get up to thank the emperor.
In this way, the young princess was accused of marriage, but after Wei Zheng's death, the minister Hou Junji, whom he had recommended, was executed for treason, causing Li Shimin to suspect that Wei Zheng had conspired with him to form a party, and in a fit of anger, he broke the marriage contract of the princess of Hengshan County.

After that, Li Shimin was also very concerned about her marriage, and decided to give the little girl a good family, so he mated the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson to the princess, and the father of the eldest grandson was still the uncle of the eldest grandson empress, and the eldest grandson's family was very prestigious in the dynasty, but before it was time to wait for the princess to hold the wedding, Li Shimin died, according to the imperial rules, the children must keep filial piety for three years to get married, so her marriage was delayed for 3 years.

During the period after Li Zhi ascended the throne, because he and the princess were compatriots of the same mother, he also loved this little sister very much, and wanted to organize a wedding for her after the princess shou filial piety for 1 year, but unexpectedly he was opposed by the minister, and he strongly demanded that he must be three years old to get married, Li Zhi had to give up, just three days before the shou filial piety, Li Zhi changed her title to Princess xincheng, and began to handle his sister's marriage, and the marriage that dragged on for 3 years was finally successfully completed, and after the marriage, the two couples had a very harmonious relationship, Qinse and Ming.
Unfortunately, because the eldest son Wu Ji opposed Wu Zetian's affair and drafted the emperor's unknowingly, the eldest son's family was mutilated, and princess Xincheng's husband, the eldest son, was exiled and executed, and the princess, who had originally lived a happy life, was depressed all day after losing her husband. And Li Zhi couldn't bear that she would live like this, so he thought of making another promise for her, so he promised wei Zhengju again.

Wei Zhengju became a donkey, so he was promoted to a higher rank, even promoted to the 8th level, but not long after the marriage, the news of the princess's death came, at the age of 30, Li Zhi was surprised and sad to learn, why the princess died suddenly, rumors were caused by her husband's domestic violence, decided to order a thorough investigation of the matter, called Wei Zhengju to inquire, but he could not tell the reason, provoked Li Zhi was very angry, and executed him. Then the Princess of Xincheng was buried with the queen's funeral.
The cause of death of Princess Xincheng is very bizarre, the rumor is that Wei Zhengju is a domestic violence, but according to records, Princess Xincheng has a big backer like her brother and father, Wei Zhengju naturally knows that she will not provoke the princess, mainly because the princess and her ex-husband have deep feelings, and he is the only one in his heart, so he and Wei Zhengju are not in harmony with each other, because before the death of her husband, her body appeared abnormal, plus it was inevitable that she was grumpy, so it led to death, and Wei Zhengju had nothing to do with it. Later, Li Zhi also buried Wei Zhengju and the princess together, which was a tacit acquiescence to his statement that there was no domestic violence.

Xiaobian believes that although the princess was born noble and enjoyed glory and wealth throughout her life, their marriage had to be decided by herself, and although the princess of Xincheng was favored by her father and brother, the marriage was full of twists and turns, so it was easy to stay up for the father and emperor for 3 years, and lived a happy life for the husband and wife, but she was left by her husband, and finally lost in love.
