Chapter 70: The Middle Way Collapses Before Half the Effort [Chapter 6]

After the end of the year.

At the beginning of the first month of the second year of Tianbao, the Son of Heaven decreed that a grand poetry event would be held in front of the Imperial City Tower of Chang'an City on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month.

At the time of the grand event, the Son of Heaven will lead the civil and military ministers to the scene in person, and set a ranking reward for the event.

The top three in this Yuanxi poetry festival will be awarded, and the rewards will be Junzi Jade and Junzi Sword.

If you can get the top three rankings at the event, you can get a piece of gentleman's jade given by the Son of Heaven.

And if you can win the first place, in addition to the royal gift of the gentleman's jade, the reward will also reward the unique royal gift of the gentleman's sword, and at the same time, you can also go to the stage at the grand event and get a personal reception from the Son of Heaven under the attention of everyone.

As soon as this news came out, the Beijing division was instantly moved, the whole city was hotly discussed, and countless literati were even more moved, wanting to show their talents and become famous at this event.

At the same time in the Wuhou Mansion, Bai Yusheng, who got the news, was even more ecstatic.

"God help me!"

He felt like God was helping him.

Only a few days ago did he make up his mind to study diligently, to surpass Bai Yuxian and get back what he had lost.

As a result, I didn't expect that only a few days had passed, and I suddenly heard the news of this Yuan Xi poetry event, and it was also a grand event ordered by the Son of Heaven himself.

Isn't this my chance to be ashamed?

No, this is not only an opportunity for yourself to be ashamed, but also an opportunity for yourself to make a name for yourself.

If he can win the championship in one fell swoop at this Yuan Xi poetry event, then let alone a mere Bai Yuxian, his Bai Yusheng's name will be famous all over the world.

Moreover, after three hours of high-intensity study every day in the past few days, Bai Yusheng also feels extremely good about himself.

Although he had only just started working hard for a few days, with his learning talent, Bai Yusheng felt that he had improved tremendously.

Therefore, if you sign up for this Yuan Xi poetry event, you will definitely have great hope of winning fame.

In his mind, Bai Yusheng even had a picture of himself winning the championship in one fell swoop at the poetry festival and being received by the Son of Heaven, and everyone was looking forward to it.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Bai Yusheng became, and even the whole person was already a little unstoppably excited.

"Someone!"

"Childe."

"Prepare the car, I want to sign up for this Yuan Xi poetry event."

Soon, the news that Bai Yusheng was going to participate in this Yuanxi poetry event spread like a hurricane throughout the Wuhou Mansion.

Old Taijun Bai and Mrs. Wang were also very happy, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to prepare a carriage for Bai Yusheng, and sent a large group of attendants to protect Bai Yusheng and go to Tai Academy.

The registration location for this Yuanxi poetry event is in Tai College.

"What's going on so hilarious?"

In the outer house, Han Shiyin and Xiangling, who were reading a book together in the courtyard, couldn't help but be alarmed and looked outside the courtyard.

Hearing her own lady's inquiry, the maid Qingmei and Yuzhu immediately went out of the yard to inquire, and soon came back to report.

"Miss, it's the Yusheng son of the Inner Mansion who wants to go to the Tai Academy to sign up for this Yuanxi poetry event, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang sent a lot of people to escort the Yusheng son out to sign up."

"So that's it."

Han Shiyin and Xiangling also suddenly understood when they heard this, they already knew about it, after all, such a big thing had already spread throughout Chang'an City, and it was difficult to know it.

"The old lady and Mrs. Wang also said that Yusheng's son is talented, and this Yuanxi poetry event will definitely be famous in one fell swoop."

Qingmei said again, but she couldn't help laughing after speaking.

Yuzhu next to him couldn't help but answer.

"Our son-in-law is about the same."

Han Shiyin and Xiangling couldn't help laughing, and then Han Shiyin admonished again.

"Well, don't say much, especially outside."

"Miss, don't worry, we're just here to talk about it, and we won't talk nonsense outside."

Qingmei hurriedly said again, and Yuzhu also nodded.

They are not stupid, knowing that Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang are doting on Bai Yusheng, so they naturally won't go outside to say this kind of thing.

"By the way, Miss, this Yuan Xi poetry event, Young Master Yusheng has gone to sign up, are we going to inform the son?"

Han Shiyin and Xiangling looked at each other when they heard the words and thought about it.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it when Brother Yuxian comes back from cultivation in the evening."

"Yes."

Bai Yusheng happily went out to Tai Academy, full of ambition in his heart, looking forward to the picture of winning the championship in one fell swoop and then becoming famous at the Yuan Xi poetry event.

The Bai family team sent by Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang to escort Bai Yusheng was also majestic and high-spirited, as if Bai Yusheng's success in this New Year's Eve poetry event was already an ironclad thing.

The passers-by along the road who only watched talked about it in private, saying which noble son went out, such a big pomp.

Then when he arrived at Tai Academy, the reality was that he directly knocked Bai Yusheng in place with a stick.

But it was Bai Yusheng who was full of ambition to sign up after he arrived at Tai Academy, but after he revealed his identity and said his talent and fame.

The official in charge of registration drove him away with a wave of his hand without saying a word.

said that Bai Yusheng's qualifications were not enough and he was not qualified to participate in this Yuan Xi poetry event.

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yusheng was stunned on the spot, and the people of the Bai family who came with Bai Yusheng were also stunned.

I was so full of ambition that I came to sign up, but when I got here, I found that I didn't even have the qualifications to participate.

Many other people who also came to sign up next to him heard that Bai Yusheng was just a talent and famous, and they had never heard of any famous masterpieces, and their expressions immediately became joking.

Not to mention Bai Yusheng, a talent who has no name and no famous masterpiece, even if he is a lifter, he was directly driven away by a large number of unqualified people before.

This Yuan Xi poetry event, although nominally it is said that everyone in the world can participate, there seems to be no threshold.

But this kind of event, how can there really be no threshold.

On the contrary, such a grand event not only has a threshold, but also a threshold that is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Those who are eligible to participate need to have sufficient status in addition to sufficient talent level.

Identity and talent are indispensable.

In terms of identity, Bai Yusheng is enough as the concubine of Houmen Xungui and the future heir of Wuhou Mansion.

But if you want to talk about talent, just a show of talent and fame, Bai Yusheng is undoubtedly far from qualified.

Bai Yusheng, who was originally full of ambition and was looking forward to the Yuan Xi poetry event, was instantly drunk.

——

"What's going on in the inner mansion, who made our eldest young master Yusheng angry."

At sunset, Bai Yuxian, who had finished his cultivation from the martial hall, returned home, and heard all the way that chickens and dogs seemed to be jumping in the inner mansion, and he couldn't help but ask Han Shiyin and Xiangling.

The two girls and the maid Qingmei, Yuzhu and others couldn't help but cover their mouths and enjoy it.

"Brother Yuxian doesn't know yet, after the news of today's Yuanxi poetry event spread, Cousin Yusheng confidently took people to Tai Academy, ready to sign up for the Yuanxi poetry event, and is also ready to make a name for himself at the event and overpower Brother Yuxian in one fell swoop."

Han Shiyin chuckled, she had learned all this news from Bai Xue in the Inner Mansion before.

"Oh, it seems that our eldest young master Yusheng is quite ambitious, but what is the situation in the inner mansion now."

Bai Yuxian chuckled lightly when she heard this, she didn't care about Bai Yusheng's thoughts, but was even more puzzled.

Han Shiyin, Xiangling and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Yuxian didn't know, Cousin Yusheng was originally full of ambition to go to Tai Academy to sign up, but after arriving at Tai Academy, he was told that Cousin Yusheng was not qualified enough to participate in this Yuan Xi poetry event."

"Now Cousin Yusheng is losing his temper about this, and he wants to live or die."

Poof!

After saying that, the girls couldn't help laughing at all.

Only then did Bai Yuxian understand the reason, and she couldn't help but be happy.

But after laughing, he hurriedly reminded a few women.

"Okay, don't laugh, or let the old lady know that I'm going to blame you again."

The girls put away their laughter when they heard this, but they still couldn't help the smile on their faces.

"By the way, Brother Yuxian, have you signed up for this Yuanxi poetry event?" At this time, Xiangling asked again, and the girls suddenly looked at Bai Yuxian with concern.

Bai Yuxian smiled and shook his head.

"We don't need to sign up, we can directly enter the competition with the Guozi Prison Supervisor token."
