Xu Hui smiled and said, "The martial artist has won the award." You and I entered the palace almost at the same time, in terms of age, the martial arts are older than the slaves. are also sisters in the palace, so they don't have to be so polite. ”

Wu Cairen hurriedly said: "The senior is the teacher, and the slave family is really shallow in learning." A few years older, but ashamed. I came to meet me this time, and I hope to be full of generosity and teaching. ”

Xu Hui is a soft girl in the south of the Yangtze River, who knows books and etiquette, although she knows that martial arts people are insincere, and it is not easy to refuse, so she is humble and answers a few questions about poetry raised by martial artists according to her own understanding.

That's right, this martial artist is the famous Wu Meiniang in history, Wu Zetian.

It's just that Xu Hui and Wu Zetian almost entered the palace after the death of Empress Changsun, and they were both named talents, but their fates were very different.

As a fresh bud, Xu Hui's talent had the opportunity to show soon after entering the palace and bloomed into the flower of his life.

She is literate and literate, understands rhyme, understands calligraphy and painting, and understands the will of the king, which makes Li Shimin, who lost the eldest grandson queen, very pampered and happy, and soon promoted from a talented person to Jieyu, and then to a full-fledged concubine, ranking among the nine concubines.

And although Wu Zetian also worked hard to express himself, he was eager again and again, but he was disappointed again and again. Until Li Er died, Wu Zetian was still a talented person, and twelve years were like a day, which was really okay.

There are many reasons why the circumstances of the two are so different.

In terms of talent, although Wu Zetian is two or three years older than Xu Hui, he is not as good as her; In terms of appearance, the two may have their own merits, but Xu Hui has a little more bookish quiet and softness.

More important is the difference in personality: Wu Zetian is strong and exposed, and some are ruthless and will not stop until the goal is reached; Xu Hui seems to be a soft girl, but she shows her strength in adhering to her principles, which belongs to the outer softness and the inner rigidity.

For example, the deeds of Wu Zetian taming the lion skull recorded in history, what is first whipped with an iron whip, and then smashed the horse's head with an iron hammer, if the horse is not tamed, he will be stabbed to death directly.

Li Eryi was startled when he heard this, he was so ruthless, where should a woman be. But because of the presence of everyone, I can only stop with "hehe".

Regardless of whether this matter is or not, Wu Zetian's character is indeed an important reason why he is not welcomed.

Although Li Er is an emperor, he is similar to most men, and he hopes that after dealing with politics, he can find a "gentle township" in the palace or family to soothe him.

Moreover, Li Er prefers a gentle and virtuous helper like Empress Changsun rather than a strong Iron Lady. Xu Hui's temperament is very similar to that of Empress Changsun, and it is not uncommon to be favored.

Seeing that Xu Hui was favored, but he was in the deep palace and was left out in the cold, the martial artists were very unwilling, and they wanted to know the reason.

To put it bluntly, the martial arts people came to pay homage to Xu Huitao this time, and they came to learn from Xu Huitao.

Xu Hui is so smart, can't he even see this?

But no matter whether she has great wisdom, she knows that "fighting is not fighting, and not fighting is fighting"; is still a tranquil temperament, and never participates in the competition for favor among concubines.

Therefore, Xu Hui is dealing with martial talents, and I will answer if you ask, but only in poetry and literature. The rest, she didn't say or mention, she pretended to be confused in her heart.

The martial arts people came to meet this time, and they were just familiar with each other, in order to get along with each other for a long time, and they couldn't be too urgent. Therefore, the two seem to be very harmonious when they talk about poetry and papers.

At this time, the palace people came to report that Xu Xiaolang had arrived, waiting outside for the summons.

"It's my little brother, young and playful, I am afraid that he will waste his studies, so I often call him for questioning." Xu Hui didn't mention Li Er's summons, but only said that he wanted to take the test, which can be described as avoiding the important and trivial.

The martial artist hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and by the way, he also complimented: "The Xu family is a scholarly family, and there is always supervision, Xiaolang will definitely be talented and famous in the capital in the future." ”

Xu Hui said a few words modestly and sent the martial artists out of the palace.

Xu Qilin wiped his sweat, and when he saw that the old lady sent out a beautiful woman, he didn't know which nobleman in the palace was, so he hurriedly bowed down and flashed on the side of the road.

"Xu Chongrong, the little man of the Ru family is not only knowledgeable, but also a talent!" The martial artist walked past Xu Qilin and blurted out another praise.

Xu Hui smiled and said, "Little brother, I haven't seen a martial artist yet. ”

Xu Qilin bowed and said, "Qi Lin has seen a talented lady. ”

Wu Cairen said with a smile: "Xiaolang is exempt from courtesy, and talks to Chongrong Niangniang, and the slave family will leave first." As he spoke, he gave Xu Hui a salute and turned around and left.

Xu Hui watched the martial arts people go away, and only then did he call his younger brother and walk into the palace together.

The cool breeze in the palace was refreshing, Xu Qilin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead again.

"Little brother, sit down and rest first." Xu Hui saw it in his eyes, asked Xu Qilin to sit first, and called the palace people to fetch towels and cold drinks.

Xu Hui sat on the couch and said with a smile: "Thanks to the whimsy of the younger brother, this hall is cool and comfortable, and it is much stronger than in previous years." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Little brother still has a way, but this palace can be as warm as spring in winter." When the weather turns cold, let the craftsmen clean it up. ”

"Craftsmen enter the palace, many inconveniences." Xu Hui shook his head lightly and said, "This time it is still the face of Princess Jinyang, and His Majesty agrees." ”

"Then let the princess go and beg Your Majesty again." Xu Qilin said disappreciatively: "By the way, the residence of Her Royal Highness the princess will also be sorted out." ”

Xu Hui felt that it was feasible, but he did not agree, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Seeing that the little brother wiped his sweat and drank a few sips of his drink, and the heat subsided slightly, she asked, "Have you ever thought about the advice on the imperial examination?" Your Majesty must take it seriously when he sees the call. ”

Xu Qilin nodded, and said confidently: "Sister, don't worry, how dare my little brother relax on this big matter, he has already thought about it." But if you ask something, you will answer it. ”

Xu Hui covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "The little brother is confident, so I won't ask about it." Well, these days, what books has my little brother read and what poems he has done, let's listen to it! ”

Alas, I'm afraid of this.

Xu Qilin held back the nervousness of wiping his sweat again, and said: "I am stupid, my sister knows." These days, I have been meditating and thinking hard, but I have continued the poem of 'clouds want clothes, flowers want to look'. ”

A few high hats came first, and the old lady was happy, and she was relaxed.

Xu Hui chuckled and said, "It's okay." Then recite it and listen to it, so as not to make my sister have to worry about it from time to time, but she can't continue the good sentence. ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly took out the whole poem he had written, and walked over to present it to the elder sister in person.

"The clouds want clothes, the flowers want to look, and the breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. ”

The clouds want to have their sister's gorgeous clothes, and the flowers also want to have their sister's delicate beauty. With such a heavenly appearance, if it is not the goddess seen in the jade mountain, it must be a fairy who meets under the moon in Yaotai!
