Wu Huifei and Tang Xuanzong (did Tang Xuanzong love Wu Huifei )

Children only do multiple-choice questions, adults want everything. Why do you think Emperor Xuanzong of Tang liked Empress Wu Huifei so much? In fact, it can be said that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang preferred beautiful women. Wu Huifei passed away, and without hesitation, he accepted Yang Guifei to fill the gap in his heart! Of course, Empress Wu Huifei does have some special qualities, and it is precisely because she is more special than ordinary beauties that she has been favored by Emperor Xuanzong for a long time. So what sets her apart from others?
1、 Empress Wu Huifei was the niece of Empress Wu Zetian and had a cousin relationship with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Wu Huifei’s background is quite unique. Her grandfather Wu Hongdu was Wu Zetian’s cousin, and his father Wu Youzhi was also Wu Zetian’s cousin. Therefore, Wu Huifei is Wu Zetian’s niece. Coincidentally, Empress Wu Huifei’s father, Wu Youzhi, passed away at a young age. Therefore, out of love and compassion, Empress Wu Zetian brought Empress Wu Huifei to the palace to personally raise her.
Wu Zetian also had another identity, which was the grandmother of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Wu Zetian’s son, Tang Ruizong Li Dan, was the biological father of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. So Tang Xuanzong was the grandson of Empress Wu Zetian. One is a nephew and granddaughter, and the other is a biological grandson. These two people naturally often appear by Wu Zetian’s side, so Wu Huifei and Tang Xuanzong can be said to be childhood sweethearts and have known each other for a long time.
And Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was 14 years older than Empress Wu Huifei, which not only was not an age barrier, but also became an advantage for Empress Wu Huifei. In the eyes of the young Tang Xuanzong, Empress Wu Huifei was a little sister in need of protection.
It can be said that the appearance of Empress Wu Huifei gave the young Tang Xuanzong a strong desire for protection. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was neither the eldest son nor had any knowledge of literature, politics, or martial arts, so he was a very ordinary person.
Moreover, due to the power of Empress Wu Zetian, Tang Xuanzong’s father Li Dan needed to be submissive. Tang Xuanzong naturally had different thoughts towards Empress Wu Huifei, and he may even approach her for self-protection or to gain Empress Wu Zetian’s appreciation.
As he walked, the love saint Tang Xuanzong developed feelings for this nominal little cousin in the blink of an eye. So the relationship between these two people existed a long time ago, but it wasn’t until Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne that he thought of making her a concubine.
