"Crack! Crack! Crack!."
Soon, as Bai Yuxian's song ended, Li Bai, Cui Zongzhi and others present couldn't help but clapped their hands and burst into applause.
"Although this is not the first time I have heard the sound of Brother Bai's strings, I am still excited when I hear it again today. Brother Bai's piano skills are probably not matched by many people in this world."
"Especially Brother Bai's song "Farewell". As soon as this song came out, all the farewells in ancient and modern times were contained in it."
Yang Yuhuan also praised: "I have long heard that General Bai is not only talented in civil and military skills, but also has outstanding piano skills. Today I am lucky enough to hear it in person. It is indeed well-deserved. General Bai's piano skills can be said to be well-known by everyone. I really admire him."
In fact, Yang Yuhuan had already known about Bai Yuxian's piano skills. After all, she had seen Bai Yuxian perform "Stepping on the Magpie Branch" with Bai Yuxian the night they met in Xiangshan last year.
"The real person is too praised." Bai Yuxian said.
At this time, Yang Yuhuan spoke again, looking at Bai Yuxian, his tone was cold and his expression was as usual.
"I heard that in addition to the piano art, General Bai also has extraordinary attainments in calligraphy and painting. He is especially good at calligraphy and painting beauties. I wonder if Taizhen will be lucky enough today. Please ask General Bai to paint a painting for Taizhen."
What do you want to do!
Bai Yuxian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Painting for Yang Yuhuan was something he didn't dare to agree to easily. Who knew what Li Longji would think when he found out, so he immediately said.
"I'm afraid Yuxian still needs to consult His Majesty about this matter."
When Yang Yuhuan heard the words, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes. Although he had already thought of this in his heart, when he heard Bai Yuxian say it himself, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Thinking of his own situation, the original joy of seeing Bai Yuxian also suddenly disappeared. Involuntarily, interest waned.
She knew that even if she continued to talk to Bai Yuxian, it would probably be like this. After all, there were still so many people around. Whether it was herself or Bai Yuxian, if they showed any excess, they would probably be annihilated.
"Taizhen is too abrupt, so let's forget about it for the time being. Taizhen is a little tired today, so I won't disturb General Bai, Li Hanlin and everyone else's pleasure in the mountains."
"Farewell."
"Real people walk slowly."
In this way, the seven people got up and sent Yang Yuhuan away.
Seeing Yang Yuhuan's figure disappear completely, the seven of them couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
To be honest, with a woman like Yang Yuhuan, the seven people can be said to have Alexander in their hearts, especially Bai Yuxian, who dare not let down their guard at all.
Because the thunder in Yang Yuhuan's body is too big, this kind of woman, who is regarded as a forbidden woman by the emperor, is a complete bomb. If she doesn't make a mistake, she may be blown to pieces.
Especially before she has enough strength now, Bai Yuxian really doesn't want to have more contact with Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan is beautiful.
But it is also true that beauty is a disaster. If such a woman does not have enough strength, it is really best not to get involved.
Don't you see, even the longevity king Li Xuan can't keep it, and he will still be snatched away by me.
To be honest, Bai Yuxian also admired the longevity king Li Ling for being able to endure such things. If it were someone with a tougher personality, he would probably rebel directly.
After Yang Yuhuan's incident, the seven of them suddenly lost all intention of continuing to play in Xiangshan, and soon rode their horses directly down to Xiangshan.
At the same time, the meeting between the seven Bai Yuxian and Yang Yuhuan quickly spread to the ears of Li Longji in the palace.
"Oh, Taizhen met Yuxian and the others."
After hearing this, Li Longji's eyes instantly focused, and his eyes suddenly became dangerous, just like a tiger that discovered that its territory had been invaded, which made Gao Lishi behind him and all the attendants and maids present nervous.
Today's Yang Yuhuan is the forbidden pet in Li Longji's heart. Any other man he comes into contact with will definitely make Li Longji highly vigilant.
"How is the situation?" Li Longji asked.
"According to the news, it was accidental that Zhenren met General Bai and others. Yesterday, the test results came out. I think it was to celebrate. Today, General Bai, Li Hanlin and other seven people rode horses together to visit Xiangshan. At that time, Zhenren happened to While playing the piano in the temple, General Bai and others were attracted by the art of playing the piano, so they met by chance."
"Then the real person invited the seven General Bai people to sit down and invited General Bai to also play a song "Farewell"."
""farewell"."
Li Longji's expression moved slightly when he heard this. He had also listened to this piece of music some time ago. It was true that he didn't listen to it much. Especially when the past and present were parting, he had basically exhausted all his thoughts by this piece of music.
Now this piece of music has already spread throughout the entire capital, and Bai Yuxian's piano skills have also been completely spread throughout the entire capital because of this piece.
Li Longji is also aware of these things, and Yang Yuhuan also likes to be good at music, so it makes sense for Yang Yuhuan to invite Bai Yuxian to play out of curiosity.
"Is there anything else?" Li Longji continued to ask.
"In addition to asking General Bai to play music, the real person learned that General Bai is also good at calligraphy and painting, especially at painting beauties, so he originally asked General Bai for a beauty painting, but General Bai said that this matter still needs to be consulted. Your Majesty, you agree." Gao Lishi reported truthfully.
"Ask my permission."
Li Longji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.
"Haha, this Jade Immortal, since he is good at this and a real person likes it, then just paint a picture, just a picture, and ask for my opinion. Could it be that I am such a stingy person?"
However, even though he said this, the joy on Li Longji's face and tone could not be concealed.
At the same time, Li Longji couldn't help but feel completely relieved, thinking that Yuxian was indeed my confidant and beloved general, and understood his own thoughts.
When Bai Yuxian appeared like this, didn't he put him first and clearly show his attitude as a minister?
And it can be seen that Bai Yuxian obviously knows Yang Yuhuan, so he knows it clearly in his heart.
As long as you can carry it clearly.
Li Longji felt relieved, and then thought that since Yuxian could carry it clearly, he didn't need to worry. Since Yuhuan likes to want Yuxian to paint, then when Yuhuan enters the palace in the future, he will let Yuxian paint it himself. One picture is ready, otherwise others would still say that Li Longji is stingy.
——
Time flies, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
The time has entered April.
At this time, the final palace examination of the spring examination finally arrived as scheduled.
Compared with the general examination, the examination questions in the palace examination are much easier, and the examination time has become one day, from Si o'clock in the morning to You o'clock in the evening.
The examination questions were mainly policy papers and articles, and the questions were all set by the emperor himself.
The results after the exam will be available within three days.
After the palace exam, Bai Yuxian felt relaxed, and he finally didn't have to take any more exams.
Because whether it is the liberal arts examination or the martial arts examination, he has passed them all today. The next step is to wait patiently for the results in three days.
Bai Yuxian is also looking forward to the final results of the palace examination and what ranking Li Longji will give him.
However, Bai Yuxian knew that there were only two outcomes for his palace examination, either the number one scholar or the top pick. The specifics would depend on Li Longji's choice.
Relatively speaking, Bai Yuxian himself is more inclined to like the number one scholar.
After all, although the third flower is quite famous, and it suits him, in terms of ranking, the number one pick is ultimately higher than the third flower.
No matter how much you talk about the third overall pick's reputation, it is an indisputable fact that he is only ranked third and not as good as the top pick.
Two days later, the day before the results of the palace examination were to be announced.
Looking at Bai Yuxian's essay test paper in front of him, Li Longji became entangled again.
"This Bai Jade Immortal really puts me in a difficult position."
Li Longji rubbed his brow in difficulty.
At this time, the results of the palace examination and the marking of the examination papers of all candidates have been completed.
In terms of talent and academic performance alone, Bai Yuxian is second to none in terms of strategies and articles, and he is a well-deserved number one.
In terms of performance alone, there is absolutely no dispute that Bai Yuxian is the number one pick.
But the difficulty is, if Bai Yuxian is chosen as the number one pick, then who should Tanhua choose?
In this spring examination, Bai Yuxian is there. If Bai Yuxian is selected as the number one scholar, then no one who chooses the best candidate will be convincing.
Bai Yuxian's face was completely made for looking at flowers.
But if Bai Yuxian is chosen as the third best, Li Longji himself is a little reluctant.
Because deep down in his heart, Li Longji wanted Bai Yuxian to be the top pick.
Not only because of Bai Yuxian's own talent, but also because Bai Yuxian had won the first prize in last year's martial arts examination. If he gets the first prize in the spring examination this year, then Bai Yuxian will be the first number one scholar in both civil and military affairs since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. If you tell it, it will inevitably become a good talk.
Even if Bai Yuxian performs well enough in the future, Li Longji, the emperor who promoted and appreciated Bai Yuxian, will definitely be mentioned by others. It is even impossible to say that it will become a good story in history and a good story between emperors and ministers in the future.
Tangled ah.
Li Longji rubbed his brow.
Should I choose Bai Yuxian as the top pick or the third overall pick?
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Li Longji made a decision.
Another day passed like this, and the results of the palace examination were finally announced.
