Concubine Wu Hui is the daughter of Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Youzhi, King of Heng'an, and her natal family's status is very prominent.
Queen Wang is the grandson of the governor of Liangjizhou and the first wife Xuanzong married when he was the king of Linzi. His brother Wang Shouyi had a good relationship with Xuanzong when he was the king of Linzi. Wang Shouyi married Xuanzong's sister, Princess Qingyang, who was both his uncle and his consort. Wang Shouyi actively offered suggestions and gave full support to Xuanzong when he killed the Empress Wei Group and the Princess Taiping Group. Therefore, although Queen Wang has no heirs, she is still valued by Xuanzong.
When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the king of Linzi, he first married his first wife, Queen Wang, and then married the Liu family, the daughter of Liu Fan, the minister of Emperor Gaozong, Youcheng. concubine. When Xuanzong was the king of Linzi, he also married concubines such as Concubine Liu Hua, Huangfu Deyi, Liu Cairen, and Gao Jieyu. After Xuanzong concurrently served as Luzhou Biejia, he also married the daughter of a folk musician, a beautiful singing girl, who was now named the Zhao family of Concubine Zhao Life.
"After the Tang Long coup", the Queen Wei Group was destroyed, Ruizong Li Dan came to the throne, and Li Longji became the crown prince. By that time, he had already married Concubine Qian, Concubine Yang Shu, and Concubine Wu Hui. Under the tolerance of Ruizong Li Dan, Ruizong's sister Princess Taiping took credit for her participation in Tang Long's coup and took power, suppressing and suppressing the crown prince Li Longji. After Li Longji ascended the throne, Princess Taiping still used the authority of the Supreme Emperor and her own influence to suppress and balance Li Longji overtly and covertly.
In order to better control Li Longji, Princess Taiping recommended two concubines to him, who are now Concubine Dong Gui and Concubine Wu Xian.
Among the many concubines of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the one he doted on the most was Concubine Wu Hui. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty
Concubine Dong Guifei and Concubine Wu Xian were passively accepted. They were given the title of imperial concubine in order to take care of Princess Taiping's face. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty knew that their two concubines were the spies of Princess Taiping, so he favored them less.
Although the other concubines and concubines would also receive favors, they were not as favored as Concubine Wu Hui.
Xuanzong saw Concubine Wu Hui waiting for him on the road to the palace, and happily walked towards Xingqing Palace with Concubine Wu Hui. Concubine Wu Hui was accompanied by a eunuch and a palace maid. She deliberately kept them at a distance from her. Now Concubine Wu Hui and Xuanzong were walking towards Xingqing Palace, and they were following behind.
Xuanzong's two close bodyguards, a eunuch, and a palace maid, a total of four people, were all selected by Gao Lishi. When Xuanzong walked out of Wude Hall, they followed Xuanzong.
The conversation between Xuanzong and Concubine Wu Hui when they met just now was a little bit disgusting. They realized that they were guarding the guards, eunuchs and maids, so they restrained themselves a little.
They walked along the road in the imperial city, surrounded by people, towards Xingqing Palace.
When they were approaching the gate of Xingqing Palace, a young eunuch shouted: "The Emperor has arrived——"
A eunuch in his fifties ran out. This eunuch was thin and had a long face with some wrinkles. He bowed and saluted and said: "Old slave, I would like to pay your respects to Your Majesty."
Xuanzong said: "Eunuch Yang, excuse me, when will you return to the palace? Have your mother's funeral affairs been settled?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the funeral affairs of the old slave's mother have been settled."
"Well, my condolences."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. In the past few days, there has been a major event in the court to eradicate Princess Taiping's rebel group. It just so happened that the old slave was not here, so he was unable to do the hard work and forgot about the emperor Hai Han."
"It's okay. Everything is settled. We will wait until Princess Taiping is killed tomorrow. I have sent people to seal Princess Taiping's house. All the gold, silver and jewelry she embezzled have been returned to the treasury."
"Are Princess Taiping's four sons also imprisoned?"
"Yes, Princess Taiping's four sons, except Xue Chongjian, have all been put on death row. The sentencing will be announced at a later date."
Eunuch Yang knew that Xue Chongjian had been Xuanzong's partner since childhood and had made contributions in the killing of Empress Wei's group. Xue Chongjian had been beaten severely by his mother many times because he opposed his mother, Princess Taiping's struggle for power with Xuanzong. Therefore, Eunuch Yang did not ask Xuanzong again about the reason for arresting Xue Chongjian.
Eunuch Yang said: "Your Majesty and Concubine Hui, please go into the palace to rest. I will send Xiao Guizi to the imperial kitchen to inform you about lunch arrangements."
Xuanzong said: "Okay."
Xuanzong and Concubine Wu Hui entered the Xingqing Hall of Xingqing Palace, and then entered a side hall on the east side. This side hall is beautifully decorated and comfortable inside. There is a square dining table in the middle of this side hall with two chairs beside the table. To the east of the dining table is a small tea table and a taller desk. There are two chairs around the dining table, small tea table, and desk. Further east of the desk is an empty area where Concubine Wu Hui often danced for Xuanzong to see. There is a screen to the south, and behind the screen is a large bed.
The area of this side hall is slightly smaller than that of the main hall of Xingqing Hall. It is symmetrical and has the same area as the side hall to the west of the main hall. This side hall is commonly known as the East Hall. Beyond the dancing space on the east side, there are several wooden stools where the maids and eunuchs used to rest and sit occasionally while serving Xuanzong and Concubine Wu Hui. Around the room are some potted flowers. There are some landscape paintings hanging on the walls, as well as poems and calligraphy works by famous poets.
Xuanzong said: "Everyone, please step aside. I want to play chess with Concubine Wu Hui."
Hearing what Xuanzong said, all the eunuchs, guards, and maids exited the east hall and entered the main hall, but they would not relax their vigilance and always pay attention to Xuanzong's safety and instructions. The imperial guards on duty in Xingqing Palace formed a circle in the courtyard outside Xingqing Palace and stood guard.
Concubine Wu Hui said: "Your Majesty, don't conserve your strength. You must play chess with me at your true level."
Xuanzong said: "Okay, okay, Concubine Hui, you are already superb at chess, I will not let you go."
The two began to play Go. After a while, Concubine Wu Hui lost the game. Xuanzong said, "Little beauty, you gave in to me." He pulled Concubine Wu Hui into his arms, and the two began to make out.
Concubine Wu Hui said sweetly: "Your Majesty, can you go to the Queen's house less? Come and stay with me more. I miss you so much if I don't see you for a day."
"Okay, okay, a few days ago it was because Princess Taiping posed too great a threat to me, and Queen Wang and I went to her place to think of a countermeasure. I will come to your place more often in the future."
Concubine Wu Hui put her arms around Xuanzong's waist and was held in his arms. She said sweetly: "Yesterday you were discussing things outside. You said you wouldn't let me go out, so I didn't go out. I actually wanted to help your majesty. Your Majesty. Be partial, tell the king and queen about such important matters, not the ministers and concubines."
Xuanzong said: "Okay, if there is such a big thing in the future, I will discuss it with you, little beauty, be good." As Xuanzong spoke, he began to kiss Concubine Wu Hui's red lips.
Xuanzong held Concubine Wu Hui, who was as light as a swallow, into the big bed south of the screen.
The two took off their shoes and got into bed. Concubine Wu Hui pulled down the bed curtain and closed it like two doors.
The curtains around the bed shook for a while, and after a storm, Xuanzong arranged his clothes and said, "Concubine Hui, I'm hungry. It's time for us to eat."
Concubine Wu Hui arranged her clothes and said, "I'm going to ask Eunuch Yang if the food in the imperial kitchen is ready."
Concubine Wu Hui moved quickly, she was fully dressed, and she and Tang Xuanzong left the dormitory and walked towards the door of the east hall.
