Myth: Xianwu Tang Dynasty

Chapter 71 New Year’s Eve Poetry Festival【】

"Yeah, brother Xian, sisters Shiyin and Xiangling are all here."

Bai Feifeng's voice suddenly sounded from the door of the backyard behind her, and she walked in with a few maids, and saw Bai Yuxian, Xiang Ling, and Han Shiyin in the other courtyard.

"Sister-in-law Feng." Han Shiyin and Xiangling called.

"It turns out to be Sister-in-law Feng. Sister-in-law Feng is not with the old lady in the inner palace. How come she has time to come to the outer palace today?" Bai Yuxian also said with a slight smile.

Bai Feifeng is wearing a black cloak with a white velvet collar to keep out the cold, and a white warm cotton jacket underneath. She has a golden magpie hosta in her hair. She is tall and tall, and with her fair and pretty face, she is a beautiful young woman full of charm.

"The New Year is approaching, and on the order of the old lady, I was specially asked to come over and deliver some fruits and snacks from the inner palace to Brother Xian. The old lady has always been thinking about you, Brother Xian."

Bai Feifeng said with a smile on her pretty face, and looked at Bai Yuxian with a pair of beautiful eyes like water. When she saw Bai Yuxian's handsome face in front of her again, she couldn't help but feel her heart beat wildly again.

I thought to myself that this fairy brother is really a man who seduces the souls of these girls and kills them. He is so good-looking and handsome. Which woman is not confused after seeing this? The key is that even if he is so good-looking, he is still so civilized and martial. Being versatile, talented, and outstanding. Wouldn’t this cost their women their lives?

Even for a beautiful young woman like her who is already a married woman, she can't help but feel her heart beat secretly and ripples when she looks at it. She even has a feeling that she can't help herself. It's no wonder that Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling are so fascinated that they don't know what to do in the future. How many women have been harmed.

I lament that I am already a woman.

At this moment, Bai Feifeng couldn't help but feel a sense of self-pity.

Especially when she thought of Bai Yu's character, who spent all day and night out drinking and living without coming home, she was almost like a widower, and a certain emotion in her heart became even stronger.

Bai Yuxian didn't know what was going on in the heart of this beautiful young woman, Bai Feifeng. Hearing this, the smile on her face did not change and she said, "The old lady is interested. It's time for Yuxian to visit the old lady and say hello."

"Brother Xian's words are serious. Nowadays, everyone in the house doesn't know how hard Brother Xian is on weekdays. He has to practice and study every day. He rises when the rooster crows and sleeps in the middle of the night. It's no wonder that Brother Xian can make it today. At this point, Brother Xian is destined to do great things in the future, so how can he be distracted too much? The old lady is already satisfied with the words of Brother Xian."

Bai Feifeng immediately smiled and said, and while speaking, she ordered the maid behind her to bring everything in.

Bai Yuxian did not refuse, and continued to talk with Bai Feifeng with a smile.

I have to say that Bai Feifeng's mouth is really powerful and her words are nice to make Mrs. Bai like to be the housekeeper of Wuhou Mansion.

Mrs. Zhen also heard the voice and came out with her maid. When she saw Bai Feifeng understood Bai Feifeng's intention, she politely thanked Bai Feifeng politely.

"Sir, the boy at the gate has sent word that Mr. Wang and Mr. Song are here and waiting for you outside the door."

At this moment, a nun walked in from the entrance of the hospital and reported.

Everyone immediately looked at Bai Yuxian again, knowing in their hearts that the people who came to Bai Yuxian and could be called Wang Gongzi and Song Gongzi must be Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen, who met Bai Yuxian and were both admitted to the Imperial College.

However, Bai Yuxian did not have an appointment with Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen today. It seems that they came to see him temporarily.

But it happens to be the end of the year and I have my own shortcomings.

"Mom, let me go out."

"it is good."

Mrs. Zhen nodded slightly when she heard this, and naturally she would not stop Bai Yuxian from interacting with Wang Yanlin, Song Xiuwen and others.

After returning to the private room in his own courtyard and simply changing into clothes for going out, Bai Yuxian went out.

This is the real man who stands out.

He was admitted to the Imperial College with both civil and military skills and talents, and the friends he socialized with were also the proud sons of the Imperial College at the same level.

If this were my husband, he would be in such a glorious and proud situation. Why should I be so cautious in the inner palace now, serving this and that.

Looking at Bai Yuxian's leaving figure.

The beautiful young woman's heart, which had just calmed down and was beating violently, suddenly couldn't help but beat faster again.

She couldn't help but feel envious of Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling in her heart.

Especially when comparing Bai Yuxian with her husband Bai Yuyi.

Forget it, this cannot be compared. The more you compare, the more unbalanced your mentality will be.

If the comparison continues, Bai Feifeng is worried that her mentality will completely explode and she will do something irrational.

As Bai Yuxian left, Bai Feifeng was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly noticed the words on the table.

"Hey, is this a new poem written by Brother Xian?"

At the same time, outside Wuhou Mansion, Bai Yuxian soon saw Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen waiting at the door. "Brother Wang, Brother Song, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Haha, Brother Bai is here, get in the car quickly."

After a while, Bai Yuxian followed Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen to a teahouse in the city and sat down.

The New Year is approaching, and the streets of Chang'an City are full of lively and festive New Year atmosphere, with the sound of firecrackers ringing from time to time.

Lanterns, couplets, etc. are hung and pasted all over the streets and alleys.

Especially the most prosperous main road in Chang'an City is decorated with bright lights for ten miles.

"It's the end of the year again, and this is the only time of year that such a lively scene can happen."

The three of them drank tea together and looked at the scene on the street outside. Wang Yanlin sighed.

As soon as the new year passes, it will be the second year of Tianbao.

Bai Yuxian silently counted the time in his heart.

Fortunately, there are still 14 years left before Tianbao's 12th year of chaos.

12 years is enough time for me to grow up and stand in troubled times.

"Brother Bai, have you been to the Imperial College in the past few days?" At this time, Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen looked at Bai Yuxian and asked.

"No, but what happened?" Bai Yuxian immediately looked at the two of them after hearing this.

"It seems that Brother Bai doesn't know yet. Two days ago, news came from the palace that after this year's New Year, during the Lantern Festival, His Majesty will hold a Lantern Festival poetry event." Wang Yanlin said with a smile.

"New Year's Eve Poetry Festival?"

"Yes, it is reported that the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival will be held outside the Imperial City Tower. His Majesty and all civil and military officials will be present in person. At the same time, people from all over the city can also come to watch the ceremony."

"For this grand event, His Majesty will invite celebrities from all over the world, and all knowledgeable people can participate. They will write poems with the theme of the Lantern Festival. The winner will be personally received by His Majesty and will be rewarded."

Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen told Bai Yuxian the specific situation.

Although the news has not yet been announced to the public, the news was sent to the Imperial College two days ago.

Therefore, Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen only knew about this matter and came to see Bai Yuxian today. They guessed that Bai Yuxian had not been to the Imperial College in the past few days, so he probably didn't know yet.

After listening to what the two said, Bai Yuxian suddenly realized.

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.

The most important thing is that there is still a chance to be received by the emperor.

If you win the competition and are received by the emperor, not to mention other things, as long as you show up in front of the emperor and leave an impression on the emperor, then if you become an official in the future, the benefits will be immeasurable.

"There is such a grand event. The New Year's Eve festival brings together celebrities. It should be a major event in our literary world. It would be a pity not to participate."

Bai Yuxian said immediately, and Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen also nodded in agreement.

The emperor personally organized the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival. Such an opportunity was simply the perfect stage for literati like them to become famous.

Moreover, they themselves are still students of the Imperial College and have the status of disciples of the emperor, so there is no reason not to participate.

At the same time, as Imperial College students, they naturally have the opportunity to directly participate.

As for the rest of the people who want to participate, it will naturally not be that easy.

Although according to the information received by Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen, this Lantern Festival Poetry Festival is an invitation to literati from all over the world, and all educated people can participate. On the surface, there seems to be no threshold.

But those who really understand know that sometimes there is no threshold, which is the biggest threshold.

If you don't have a certain status, how can you participate in such a festive event held by the emperor? If you don't have enough status, even if you are talented, you are not qualified.

In addition to the Imperial College supervisors like Bai Yuxian and others, they must be at least famous celebrities in the capital and even in the world.

“This is an opportunity for myself.”

Bai Yuxian also thought in his mind that although he has not yet had the opportunity to become an official, if he can perform well in the eyes of the emperor at this New Year's Eve Poetry Festival, it will naturally be beneficial to his career after becoming an official in the future. Needless to say.
