Wuhou Mansion, the inner palace, was bustling with activity.
Today is the New Year's Eve festival, and the entire city of Chang'an is celebrating the festival, and the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion, as nobles in the capital, is no exception.
In order to celebrate the New Year's Eve festival, Mrs. Bai personally ordered a famous Liyuan opera troupe from Beijing to come to Fuzhong to set up a stage and sing a great opera.
In front of the stage, a group of female relatives of the Bai family, headed by Mrs. Bai, gathered together.
Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mi, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan, Bai Feifeng
Of course, that includes Bai Yusheng.
In addition, Mrs. Zhen was also invited to bring Xiang Ling, Han Shiyin and maid here.
In fact, if possible, Mrs. Zhen doesn't like to get involved with Mrs. Bai and other female relatives in the inner palace, and she also knows that Bai Yuxian must have had the intention of establishing her own family for a long time, and sooner or later she will leave Wuhou Mansion independently.
But this time it was Mrs. Bai who took the initiative to invite her, so Zhen couldn't resist, so she brought Xiang Ling, Han Shiyin and the maid over.
After all, they still live in Wuhou's mansion, so it is hard to make the relationship between the two parties too tense.
Since Mrs. Bai has already taken the initiative to invite, she still has to give her the surface face, and just maintain the superficial courtesy and harmony.
When Mrs. Bai took the initiative to invite Zhen, she did have the idea of easing the relationship.
After all, now that Bai Yuxian has been admitted to the Imperial Academy, his reputation in the mansion is at its peak.
Even if she no longer likes Bai Yuxian, the one she likes most is her own grandson Bai Yusheng.
However, out of rational considerations and for the benefit of the entire Wuhou Mansion, she had to admit the fact that Bai Yuxian was excellent. In the future, the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion may even rely on Bai Yuxian, so she must also rely on Bai Yuxian in this relationship. Find a way to fix it.
Even if you only maintain a superficial relationship, you must not continue to be frozen.
For this reason, Mrs. Bai specially arranged Zhen's position next to her.
In front of the stage, Mrs. Bai was sitting in the center of the first row. On her left was Mrs. Zhen, and on her right were Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Mi.
In the second row behind them are Bai Yusheng, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan, Xiang Ling, Han Shiyin, and Bai Feifeng.
Then there are other favored and important maids behind them.
Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling sat together, with Bai Feifeng on the far left and sisters Bai Xue and Bai Yue on the right.
Bai Yusheng sat between Bai Qian and Bai Qian.
At the same time, Bai Qian and Bai Qian are also Bai Yusheng's biological sisters and were born to Mrs. Wang.
On the stage, the drama is going on.
But under the stage, although Mrs. Bai and others were watching the big show, few of them were really focused on the stage.
In the second row, Bai Yusheng couldn't help but glance at Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling.
Because Bai Yusheng felt that Han Shiyin seemed to have become more beautiful, brighter, and even dazzling after not seeing her much during this period.
Although Han Shiyin was beautiful in the past, Bai Yusheng was sure that Han Shiyin was not as beautiful as she is now.
And Xiang Ling, who was sitting with Han Shiyin, was no less impressive than Han Shiyin.
Especially at this moment, Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling were sitting together. They were like a pair of beautiful sisters. They were truly stunning twins.
Even the beauties Bai Feifeng, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan and others looked eclipsed in front of Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling at this moment.
Bai Yusheng couldn't help but couldn't help but look at Han Shiyin and Xiangling frequently.
Sensing Bai Yusheng's gaze from time to time, Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling couldn't help feeling disgusted.
During this period, Bai Yusheng also wanted to ask Bai Xue to change places and get closer to Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling. However, after seeing Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling unabashedly standing up when he wanted to change over, he had no choice but to sit where he was.
Then Xiangling and Han Shiyin ignored Bai Yusheng and talked quietly to Bai Feifeng and Bai Xue on the left and right. Bai Yusheng interrupted and ignored them.
Bai Xue had long disliked Bai Yusheng in her heart, so she ignored Bai Yusheng like Xiangling and Han Shiyin. Bai Feifeng was also a thoughtful person. After seeing that Han Shiyin and Xiangling obviously didn't like Bai Yusheng, she wisely did not introduce Bai Yusheng. In the conversation of several people.
After all, both Han Shiyin and Xiangling are backed by Bai Yuxian. Now that Bai Yuxian is at the peak of his power, Bai Feifeng doesn't want to offend Bai Yuxian by trying to please Bai Yusheng.
In the seats in the front row, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Zhen, Mrs. Wang and others were actually paying attention to the situation in the back row.
He also noticed Han Shiyin and Xiangling's dislike of Bai Yusheng and Bai Yusheng's behavior.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Mi looked at each other calmly, and they both saw the look of fun in each other's eyes.
Mrs. Wang had an unpleasant look in her eyes.
Mrs. Bai couldn't help but have a flash of unhappiness in her eyes, but looking at Mrs. Zhen who was next to her and thinking of Bai Yuxian now, she still suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and pretended not to see the smiling Xiang Zhen. Shi Dao.
"I heard that at the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival held by His Majesty, Brother Xian and other students from the Imperial College can participate directly without registering."
"I heard from Yuxian that this is indeed the case. In this New Year's Eve Poetry Festival, the students of their Imperial College can enter directly to participate with their Imperial College identity tokens." Zhen replied.
"So this Imperial College is different. Brother Xian is really promising now. He has been admitted to the Imperial College. If I say it, the entire Wuhou Mansion will be proud of it. Brother Xian will definitely become a prince in the future. The official has great potential."
At this time, Mrs. Wang who was nearby answered.
"There is no doubt about Brother Xian's ability and talent. Let me tell you, Brother Xian will definitely shine at the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival tonight and become famous in one fell swoop."
"I can't even say that I can win the championship in one fell swoop and get the Gentleman's Sword given by the emperor. If this is the case, then I can truly become famous and bring glory to my Wuhou Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile.
This bitch is not a good person. She is playing flattery here, and she is saying this now. If she agrees, but when the results of the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival come out, Bai Yuxian fails to make it to the top three, it will be embarrassing.
"Madam, you are over-praised. Yuxian is indeed very talented. However, who can participate in the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival this time is not a famous scholar and celebrity in our capital, and who is not full of talent. If Yuxian wants to stand out, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult, so I can only do my best and listen to fate."
"However, to be qualified to participate in this New Year's Eve Poetry Festival is already a great honor that far exceeds that of countless others."
Zhen said without changing the smile on her face.
Mrs. Wang, who originally wanted to play flattery, suddenly froze.
Zhen's words were meant to taunt her, saying that being qualified to participate was already a great honor, far superior to countless others.
Thinking about it, her son Bai Yusheng was not qualified to participate even when he took the initiative to sign up. Wasn't this just a mockery of her.
Regardless of whether Bai Yuxian can shine at the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival this time, Bai Yuxian is at least qualified to participate.
But her son Bai Yusheng was not even qualified to participate.
Mrs. Bai's face also stiffened.
"Good news! Good news!."
At this moment, a voice announcing the good news came from a distance outside the door of the rear courtyard.
After hearing this, everyone immediately looked behind them, and immediately saw a boy who had been sent to the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival running back.
"But there is news about Brother Yuxian at the Yuanxi Poetry Festival." Han Shiyin immediately stood up and asked.
"Miss Hui Shiyin, you are Mr. Yuxian."
The boy was out of breath from running, but he said quickly with a happy face.
"Previously, the primary selection of the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival ended. Mr. Yuxian was successfully selected. Now it's up to the second selection. If Mr. Yuxian can pass again, he can compete for the final top three rankings."
"Very good."
Han Shiyin and Xiangling, as well as the maids Qingmei and Yuzhu behind them, and the maids Xiaotao and Xiaolan beside Zhen, all showed excitement and joy.
A smile instantly appeared on Zhen's face.
Bai Yusheng looked unhappy for a moment, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Bai's expressions were also a little stiff.
Especially Mrs. Wang, after hearing the good news about Bai Yuxian, she felt even worse than killing herself.
"I wonder what kind of poem Brother Yuxian wrote." Then Han Shiyin seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously.
"The younger one has already copied it down. Miss Shiyin, please take a look."
Han Shiyin immediately took the copy.
"If there is a lamp without a moon, it will not entertain people; if there is a moon without a lamp, it is not spring; when spring comes to the world, people are like jade; when the lamp is burning, the moon is like silver."
"Brother Yuxian's poems are really excellent."
Everyone else present also praised her one after another.
"Continue to keep an eye on it and report back as soon as there is any news."
Mrs. Wang urged the boy who came back to summon him.
But I was gritting my teeth in my heart, thinking that I don't believe that you, Bai Yuxian, can really win the title tonight.
