Who is Xu Hui?

Xu Hui was a Chinese poetess.

Xu Hui was the daughter of Xu Xiaode, from Changcheng in Huzhou. A child prodigy, Xu Hui became a consort to Emperor Taizong of Tang: she was granted the rank of Changrong and tradition holds that upon his death, she became ill from grief, dying herself the following year. Taizong's successor Gaozong posthumously honored her with the title Xianfei, and promoted her father on her account to be prefect of Guozhou.

She is thought to have written around one thousand poems, of which five survive.
