Chapter Seventy-Three: Yuan Xi Festival [1] [Chapter 9]

Although Bai Yuxian and Li Bai knew each other for the first time, they felt very close to each other, and they chatted until sunset in the afternoon, and only said goodbye to each other after leaving each other's contact addresses.

At present, Li Bai lives in an inn in the city, and Bai Yuxian also left Li Bai the address of Wuhou Mansion.

From the conversation, Bai Yuxian also understood the purpose of Li Baici's coming to Chang'an-

Join!

Now only in his twenties, Li Bai, who is not much different from Bai Yuxian, is full of ambition and ambition, and wants to enter the industry and show his ambition in his heart.

However, the journey to enter the official was not smooth for Li Bai, because although there were some differences between the situation of Li Bai in front of him and Li Bai in the official history of Bai Yuxian in the previous life, the overall situation was also very different.

Li Bai was the son of a merchant and was born into a family of merchants.

And businessmen, the status in this Datang world is extremely low.

And there is one thing that is even fatal for Li Bai to want to enter the office, that is, he cannot participate in the imperial examination.

Li Bai is the son of a businessman, so he is naturally also a businessman.

Even though Li Baitian is talented and full of wealth, it is difficult to display it.

For Li Bai, the only opportunity to enter the government is to get the appreciation of the big man and then vouch for Li Bai and recommend it to the imperial court.

Therefore, over the years, Li Bai has been traveling all over the world, and during this period, he has also taken the initiative to visit many big people, hoping to get the appreciation of the big people and help him guarantee to recommend to the imperial court.

But unfortunately, this road is even more difficult than the imperial examination.

To this day, Li Bai has not been able to find a person who is willing to vouch for him and recommend him to the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Bai came directly to Chang'an this time, hoping to find someone in Chang'an to help guarantee him to recommend him to the imperial court and even the Son of Heaven.

As long as someone can guarantee and recommend him, Li Bai is confident that he will be able to show his ambitions and be valued by the Son of Heaven with his full stomach.

The current Li Bai is still full of ambition and dedicated to Li Bai, and he is not Li Bai who wrote 'An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to do the powerful'.

Li Bai's talent is beyond doubt, but if you want to enter the ranks, to be honest, Bai Yuxian is not optimistic about Li Bai's career.

Because of Li Bai's character, it is destined that he will be difficult to mix in his career.

Li Bai is the kind of casual and free temperament, a little rather than bending, but this kind of character is destined to be incompatible in the officialdom.

However, although these words are clear in his heart, Bai Yuxian will definitely not say them, after all, he and Li Bai are still just new acquaintances, and they have a deep relationship, and now Li Bai is also dedicated to entering the ranks, if he says this, isn't it pure stupidity to offend people.

Besides, the Tang Dynasty in this world cannot be equated with all the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

After separating from Li Bai, Bai Yuxian did not stay outside any longer, and went back to Wuhou Mansion's house directly, preparing to have a good rest tonight to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's Yuanxi poetry event.

To be honest, after getting acquainted with Li Bai just now, Bai Yuxian was still a little happy about this Yuanxi poetry event.

Because of Li Bai's identity as the son of a businessman, Li Bai couldn't participate in this Yuanxi poetry event, and he failed to pass when he went to Tai Academy to register.

Otherwise, if Li Bai participates in this Yuanxi poetry event, if Bai Yuxian wants to win the championship in one fell swoop at the Yuanxi poetry event, Li Bai is probably his biggest opponent.

After all, in terms of poetry and talent, looking at Bai Yuxian's two worlds, I am afraid that no one dares to say that they can overpower Li Bai.

Even if it is as a copyist, but whether he can beat Li Bai, Bai Yuxian does not dare to guarantee.

"Brother Jade Immortal."

Back home, Han Shiyin and Xiangling are there, and the two girls are recently learning red embroidery.

Han Shiyin embroidered mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Xiangling embroidered and tied double lotus.

"Childe."

Qingmei and Yuzhu saluted loudly, and then hurried to the outside of the courtyard to order the other servants to prepare a medicinal bath for Bai Yuxian.

Taking advantage of the time when preparing for the medicinal bath, Bai Yuxian also sat down next to Han Shiyin and Xiangling, watching the two women embroider and talk to the two women.

After more than half an hour, the sky completely darkened.

Bai Yuxian came to the study after taking a medicinal bath, and he didn't plan to read more books tonight, so he was going to go to bed early after reading for an hour or so to prepare for tomorrow's Yuan Xi poetry event.

However, for Han Shiyin, Bai Yuxian still did not break through the last layer, after all, after that layer of breakthrough, the change from a girl to a woman is still very big, as long as you come over and are more careful, you can basically see it.

Anyway, it was already the meat in his bowl, and Bai Yuxian didn't want to leave a bad impression on his father-in-law because he was in a hurry.

Besides, as long as the brain is active, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

And there's Xiangling.

β€”β€”

The next day, the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Tianbao.

New Year's Eve.

After nightfall, on the ten-mile Tongtian Street in Chang'an, the lanterns are like day, the tourists are like weaving, the sound of the phoenix flute is moving, and the fish and dragon are flying.

In front of the Imperial City Tower, the scene of the Yuan Xi poetry event is even more crowded at the moment, and the forbidden army is lined up.

Groups of armor-clad Imperial Forbidden Guards tightly wrapped the castle tower and the center of the venue.

In the open space in the center of the city tower, a temporary platform is built high, half the height of the city tower, and white jade stone stairs are laid on all sides.

Under the tower of the imperial city surrounded by the forbidden army on the left side of the meeting platform, Bai Yuxian, Wang Yanlin, and Song Xiuwen were together, looking at the high platform in front of them and the surrounding situation on the left and right.

At the same time, around the three of them, there were many people, all of whom were in groups of three or five, with a total of about 100 people.

These people are the people who have obtained the qualifications to participate in the Yuan Xi poetry festival this time.

Among the more than 100 people, Bai Yuxian and their prisoners accounted for almost half.

The atmosphere in the venue was solemn, Bai Yuxian and the others rarely spoke, patiently waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven, waiting for the grand event to officially open, even if there was occasional conversation, they mostly lowered their voices.

Outside the field surrounded by the forbidden army, there was a lot of people, and from a distance, there was only a surge of people, and the streets in the distance were already full of people on the various pavilions and corridors.

And so it went on for about half an hour.

Tread, Tread, Treadβ€”

I only heard the sound of hurried footsteps and armor on the city tower, and a team of Yulin troops appeared, and then I heard a loud voice that resounded from the city tower.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

When the voice fell, I saw that behind the Yulin Army, a tall figure wearing a dragon robe and walking with a dragon and a tiger walked from the city tower, surrounded by many close attendants and civil and military officials, and finally stopped in the middle of the city tower, and his eyes scanned the entire scene like a dragon's eye.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Everyone at the scene immediately bowed down in unison to the tall figure in a dragon robe on the city tower.

But it is the person who came, and it is not who Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, is.

"Flat."

Li Longji also spoke, his eyes scanning the crowd at the scene, like a high emperor, looking down on all beings.

Its voice is not loud, but when it falls on people's ears, it gives people a sense of heavenly authority, not angry and self-imposing, and makes people feel awe-inspiring and dare not have the slightest disrespect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
