“Crackling—!”
After the results of the palace examination were released, amid the festive sound of firecrackers, the entire Tiance Mansion burst into laughter.
It is undoubtedly a great joy to be named the number one scholar in high school on the White Jade Immortal Gold List.
The entire Tiance Mansion quickly became lively.
First, Mrs. Bai arrived with many female family members from the Wuhou Mansion, and then Han Su's current head wife also arrived with some female family members from the Han family.
Han Su's current head wife is Han Yu, and his mother's surname is Zhou. Originally, the Zhou family was just Han Su's common wife, and Han Shiyin's mother was Han Su's head wife. However, after Han Shiyin's mother died of illness, the Zhou family became Han Su's. First wife.
Today, there are nine rooms for wives and concubines in Han Su's family, one room for the head wife, two rooms for the common wife, and six rooms for the concubines.
With Bai Yuxian officially marrying Han Shiyin years ago, and the Tiance Mansion and the Han family becoming in-laws, the relationship between the Tiance Mansion and the Han family has naturally deepened.
The Zhou family is no longer the first level to come to Tiance Mansion.
Including the Wuhou Mansion, the Tiance Mansion, the Wuhou Mansion and the Han family are now almost in the same interest camp. After all, the three families have kinship ties with each other through blood marriage.
However, among the three families, Wuhou Mansion's status is undoubtedly the lowest. Even the Tiance Mansion and the Han family don't have much sympathy for Wuhou Mansion deep down.
Because the current Wuhou Mansion really cannot be on the stage.
Especially among the younger generation of direct descendants in the Wuhou Mansion, it can be said that none of them can stand on the stage, and Bai Zheng's situation in the court is getting worse day by day.
At a glance at the current Wuhou Mansion, as long as Bai Zheng falls, no one in the Wuhou Mansion can sustain the Wuhou Mansion.
It can be said that the current Wuhou Mansion is the kind where the sun is declining and the end is already in sight.
Otherwise, why are there no dignitaries in the capital today, except for the Tiance Mansion and the Han family, who are willing to interact with the Wuhou Mansion? It is because the Wuhou Mansion has no hope at all.
The reason why Bai Yuxian and Han Su Weng's son-in-law did not sever ties with the Wuhou Mansion like other dignitaries in the capital was simply because they couldn't.
Not to mention Bai Yuxian, he is a descendant of the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion. Even if he has now moved out of Wuhou Mansion and is an independent family, in this era where family blood relations are extremely important, if something happens to Wuhou Mansion one day. Even if he caused some big trouble and was punished or even executed by the court, he would never be able to escape.
Even if Bai Yuxian said to the outside world that he was leaving the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion, he could not leave just by saying so. First of all, if he wanted to leave, he must have sufficient reasons, and he must be recognized by the court and even the emperor.
Secondly, if the reason is not sufficient, leaving the clan rashly will have a great impact on one's personal reputation.
Therefore, in this case, it would be better for Bai Yuxian and Wuhou Mansion to disconnect and draw a clear line. It would be better to maintain a friendly relationship on the surface like this, and then slowly look at the opportunity to directly control the Bai family and become the new head of the family.
This is also the reason why Bai Yuxian is now willing to continue to communicate with Wuhou Mansion.
And although the head of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion is not good, the entire Bai family is not bad. The descendants of the Bai family, such as Bai Haowen, Bai Haowu, Bai Qingzhi, and Bai Ziyu, can definitely be regarded as talents. In the future, they will grow up and follow the influence of their subordinates. The development and growth of the company are definitely talents that can be reused.
Moreover, with the feeling of kinship and blood, these people can feel more at ease.
Han Su's situation is similar to Bai Yuxian's, because Han Su is the uncle of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion.
Moreover, when Han Su was demoted to Lingnan, Han Shiyin had been living in Bai's house in Wuhou Mansion, so Han Su had to accept this love.
Otherwise, if Han Su draws a clear line with the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion after coming back and being promoted, Han Su's reputation will definitely be lost.
In Tiance Mansion.
Led by Mrs. Bai, the Zhen family, and the Zhou family, they represent the Wuhou Mansion, the Tiance Mansion, and the Han family respectively.
The female relatives of the Wuhou Mansion, the Tiance Mansion and the Han family gathered together in the peach blossom garden in the inner palace of the Tiance Mansion. They were full of joy and laughter.
"Congratulations to my clan brother for being the top pick in high school."
"Congratulations, brother-in-law."
"."
Bai Qian, Bai Xue, Bai Yue, and Bai Lan also came to Bai Yuxian and congratulated her.
In addition, there is a slim green-dressed girl who looks somewhat similar to Zhou in her 28th year of age. She is Zhou's daughter Han Lin, Han Yu's sister, Han Shiyin's sister, and Bai Yuxian's sister-in-law.
The beautiful eyes of the girls looking at Bai Yuxian were filled with autumn waves, shy and timid, but also with a bit of arousal that girls can't hide.
Bai Yuxian also smiled and chatted with the girls for a while.
However, Bai Yuxian did not stay at home for long because his friend Cui Zongzhi and others came to see him.
——
That night, the Qionglin Banquet at Tianxiang Tower was also particularly lively.
Bai Yuxian, Cui Zongzhi and other Jinshi who were named on the spring examination gold list all gathered together.
In addition, Li Bai and Du Fu were also invited by Bai Yuxian, Cui Zongzhi and others.
Although the Qionglin Banquet is nominally only a banquet for Jinshis from high schools who have been awarded the Golden List, but if they have enough status and are invited by friends like Bai Yuxian and Cui Zongzhi who are also Jinshis, they can naturally attend. .
At the same time, when Li Bai arrived, he also brought two friends Bai Yuxian, Cui Zongzhi and others who had not met before.
"Come on, Brother Bai, Brother Cui, Brother Su, Brother Wang, and Brother Song, let me introduce to you. This is my new friend, King Ruyang, and Brother Li Jing."
"This is Brother Li's clan brother Li Yueming."
Li Bai arrived with two people and introduced them to Bai Yuxian, Cui Zongzhi and others.
"See you, my lord!"
Bai Yuxian, Cui Zongzhi and others were slightly shocked when they heard this. They did not expect that the person Li Bai brought was actually Ruyang King Li Jing, and they hurriedly saluted.
King Li Jing of Ruyang is the nephew of the emperor Li Longji. He looks to be in his twenties, dressed in brocade clothes, and looks as graceful as jade.
Bai Yuxian and others have naturally heard about Li Jing's name and identity. It is rumored that he loves wine and is also good at music. Because of his beautiful appearance, Emperor Li Longji once praised Li Jing for her bright appearance and fine skin. In the world, because Li Jing is also known as the most beautiful man in the Li Tang royal family.
When they met today, Bai Yuxian felt that Li Jing could indeed be said to be a truly handsome man.
As for Li Yueming, who is next to Li Jing, she looks even more pretty, but she is obviously a woman disguised as a man, because the exaggerated chest muscles on her chest can't be restrained.
Bai Yuxian saw it almost at a glance. At the same time, Li Bai, Cui Zongzhi and others around Bai Yuxian also basically saw it, but no one pointed it out.
After all, the people who came here disguised as men together with Ruyang King Li Jing were also members of the Li Tang royal family, so it was definitely not easy without having to think about their identity.
Li Jing also smiled at Bai Yuxian and the others and said: "You don't have to be polite. Brother Taibai and I have made friends through wine and literature. General Bai, Mr. Cui and everyone present are also learned people. We can just talk about being friends with each other. .”
As he spoke, Li Jing couldn't help but cast his eyes on Bai Yuxian, and at the same time glanced at Li Yueming, who was disguised as a man behind him.
Others may not know Li Yueming's true identity, but Li Jing naturally knows that Li Yueming's true identity is the current Princess Mingyue of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingyue, and her mother is the beloved concubine of Emperor Li Longji.
It was Li Mingyue who asked him to come to the Qionglin Banquet today, and the purpose was precisely for Bai Yuxian.
Li Mingyue's eyes almost never left Bai Yuxian from the first moment he saw her.
"cough-"
Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but cough slightly to remind Li Mingyue behind him.
Be careful, your mouth is almost watering.
He felt a little embarrassed that there were so many people there.
Bai Yuxian also noticed the look Li Mingyue looked at her, but she felt a little confused.
Because he had the impression that he had never met Li Mingyue.
At this time, Li Bai had already brought the wine and said.
"Come on, brothers, let's have a drink first. Tonight's Qionglin Banquet, Brother He Bai, Brother Cui, Brother Su, Brother Wang, and Brother Song will be named on the gold list. We will not go home until we are drunk!"
The atmosphere of the entire banquet quickly became lively, with everyone changing glasses, drinking wine and enjoying the moon.
As the number one winner in the Spring Examination, Bai Yuxian naturally became the most eye-catching presence at the banquet again.
That night, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but feel excited and passionate.
He looked at the bright moon in the night sky outside the corridor.
"During the martial arts competition years ago, I asked the heroes with my sword, but the heroes were restrained."
"In the spring examination today, my essay will be among the talented people, and the talented people will be at the back."
"At this time, brothers ask me how my heart is. I look at the bright moon and ask about the past and present."
"There are few people in the world who are the most outstanding in civil and military affairs of their generation."
