Xu Hui smiled and said, "Wu Cairen is too rewarded. You and I have entered the palace at the same time. In terms of age, Wu Cairen is even older than my family. They are both sisters in the palace, so there is no need to be so polite."

Wu Cairen hurriedly said, "Senior is a teacher, but I am really a little talented and knowledgeable. I am a few years older than me, but I am ashamed. I came to pay my respects this time, and I hope I will give you advice."

Xu Hui is a soft girl from Jiangnan. She knows books and rituals. Although she knows that Wu Cairen is not sincere, she is not easy to refuse. So she humbled a few words and answered the questions about the poems raised by Wu Cairen based on her own understanding.

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

However, Xu Hui and Wu Zetian almost entered the palace after Empress Changsun died of illness, and were also named talents, but their fates were very different.

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

She knew calligraphy and writing, was well versed in rhythm, knew calligraphy and painting, and understood the king's intentions, which made Li Shimin, who lost Empress Changsun, very happy. She was soon promoted from talent to Jieyu, and then to Suan Rong, and ranked as the ninth concubine.

Although Wu Zetian tried hard to show herself and was eager again and again, she was disappointed again and again. Until Li Er passed away, Wu Zetian was still talented, and it was really okay to have been there for twelve years.

The difference in the situation between the two is so big, and there are many reasons.

In terms of talent, although Wu Zetian was two or three years older than Xu Hui, she was not as good as her; in terms of appearance, the two may have their own advantages, but Xu Hui has a bit of tranquility and softness.

More importantly, the differences in personality: Wu Zetian is exposed to the outside and is a bit cruel and ruthless. Xu Hui looks like a soft girl, but she shows her strength in adhering to principles, which is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

For example, the historical record of Wu Zetian taming the lion test, which is what first uses an iron whip to hit the horse's head with an iron hammer. If the horse is not tamed, it will be stabbed to death with one knife.

Li Er was shocked when he heard this. Such a cruel and ruthless person was not what a woman should have. But due to the presence of everyone, he could only stop "hehe".

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Wu Zetian's personality is indeed an important reason for his dislike.

Although Li Er is an emperor, he is similar to most men. He hopes that after handling the affairs, he can find a "gentle land" in the palace or family to soothe.

Moreover, Li Er prefers a gentle and virtuous supporter like Empress Changsun rather than a strong iron lady. Xu Hui's temperament is very similar to Empress Changsun, so it is not uncommon to be favored.

Seeing that Xu Hui was favored, he was neglected in the deep palace. Wu Cairen was very unwilling to accept it and wanted to know the reason.

To put it bluntly, Wu Cairen came to meet Xu Hui this time and came to learn from the scriptures.

How smart is Xu Hui? Can’t you even see this?

But no matter whether she has great wisdom, she knows that "fighting is not fighting, and not fighting is not fighting is fighting" or her calm personality, she never participates in the affairs of concubines competing for favor.

Therefore, Xu Hui was dealing with Wu Cairen, and she answered questions when asked, but only in poetry and literature. She didn't say anything else, nor did she mention it, and she knew that she was confused.

Wu Cairen came to visit him this time, but he was just a familiar face and wanted to date him in a long time, so he could not be too urgent. Therefore, the two of them seemed to have a very harmonious conversation about poetry and essays.

At this moment, the palace servant came to report that Xu Xiaolang had arrived and was waiting for the summons.

"It's my younger brother who is young and playful. I'm afraid that he will lose his studies and often summon him to take exams." Xu Hui did not mention Li Er's summons, but only said that he wanted to take exams, which was a big deal.

Wu Cairen hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, and by the way he also praised: "The Xu family has a scholarly family and is always urged. Xiao Lang will be outstanding in the future and will be famous in the capital."

Xu Hui said a few words of humility and sent Wu Cairen out of the palace.

Xu Qilin wiped his sweat and saw that his sister gave him a beautiful woman. He didn't know which noble lady in the palace was, so he hurriedly bowed and flashed by the side of the road.

"Xu Chongrong, the young man from your family is a good person, and he is also a good person!" Wu Cairen walked past Xu Qilin and blurted out and praised him.

Xu Hui smiled and said, "My little brother, I haven't seen Wu Cairen."

Xu Qilin bowed and said, "Qi Lin has met the talented lady."

Wu Cairen smiled and said, "Xiao Lang is exempted from the gift, and I will talk to Empress Chongrong. I will say goodbye first." As he said that, he gave Xu Hui a gift and turned around and left slowly.

Xu Hui watched Wu Cairen walk away, and just called his younger brother and walked into the palace together.

The cool breeze in the palace was pleasant, and Xu Qilin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"My brother, sit down and rest first." Xu Hui saw it and asked Xu Qilin to sit first, and then called the palace servants to get towels and iced drinks.

Xu Hui sat on the couch and smiled, "Thanks to my wonderful ideas, this hall is cool and comfortable, which is much better than in previous years."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I have a way to make this palace warmer in winter. When the weather turns colder, let the craftsmen take care of it."

"There are many inconveniences in the craftsman entering the palace." Xu Hui shook her head gently and said, "This time it was the face of Princess Jinyang, and Your Majesty agreed."

"Then let the princess go and ask your majesty again." Xu Qilin said disapprovingly: "By the way, let's get the residence of His Highness the princess together."

Xu Hui felt it was feasible, but she did not agree, which was considered acquiescent.

Seeing that the younger brother had finished wiping his sweat, drinking a few sips of drinks, the heat subsided, she asked, "Have you ever thought about the letter of advice on the imperial examination? Your Majesty must take it seriously when he sees the summons."

Xu Qilin nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, sister, how dare I relax on this major issue? I have thought about it. But if you ask, you will answer it."

Xu Hui covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "I am confident, so I won't ask about this. Well, what books have I read and what poems have I done these days? Let's listen!"

Alas, I'm afraid of this.

Xu Qilin resisted the nervousness of wiping his sweat again and said, "I am stupid, and my sister knows it. I have been thinking hard these days, but I have continued the poem "Clouds and Clothes and Flowers and Faces"."

I gave a few high hats first, which made my sister happy and made me feel relieved.

Xu Hui chuckled and said, "It's good. Then recite it, so that my sister will not have to worry about it from time to time, but she will never be able to continue the good sentence."

Xu Qilin hurriedly took out the full poem he wrote and walked over to present it to his sister himself.

"The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of appearance, and the breeze blows through the threshold and the dew is thick. If it weren't for the group of jade hills, they would meet under the moon on the jade platform."

Yuncai wants to have her sister's gorgeous clothes, and Huaer also wants to have her sister's beautiful face. Such a natural beauty, if it weren't for the goddess on Qunyu Mountain, she would have to be a fairy who met under the moon on the Yaotai platform!
