Rising Xianxia World

Chapter 213 Infiltrating the Imperial Palace!

The recruitment of ancient books came to an end, and Gu Qiubai naturally passed the examination smoothly.

However, looking at the three people around him, Gu Qiubai knew that he was still thinking too simply.

"Mr. Yu, the song just now really surprised me. What is the name of this song?" Gong Shubo asked expectantly, even changing the title.

Gu Qiubai felt helpless, Gong Shubo was known as a music idiot, and he would definitely get to the bottom of this song.

"Master Hui Gongshu, the title of this song is "Shui Tiao Ge Tou? When Will the Bright Moon Come?"."

Gu Qiubai said, this word is derived from Su Shi's water melody, which is a famous work through the ages, coupled with the beautiful and unharmonious song, even if it is put here, it is a good song.

"Shui Tiao Ge Tou, not bad, not bad, what a Shui Tiao Ge Tou!" Gong Shubo said.

"It's just that this kind of music can already be regarded as excellent, why haven't I heard it before?"

"This song was composed by an old man who I overheard when I was traveling in the mountains and rivers. The old man lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, so this song has never been born!" Gu Qiubai said flickeringly.

"Tsk tsk, the world is so big that there are indeed many people. I want to thank you. It would be a pity that such a good song would disappear like this without you." Gong Shubo said.

"If Lord Gongshu likes it, I can use the phonograph stone to engrave a copy for you." Gu Qiubai said.

"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Gong Shubo still shook his head, "Forget it, I used a song composed by a kid surnamed Gu. Although I tried my best to deny and clarify, few people remember his name." There are very few, I don't want to steal your limelight, you can play a few times occasionally, just let me enjoy my ear addiction."

Gu Qiubai didn't force it either. Now that his goal had been achieved, he didn't want to have too much contact with Gong Shubo to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Yu is very skilled, I hope you can teach Rong'er more in the future..." The pretty girl blinked and said.

Gu Qiubai glanced at the little girl and knew that she was Zuo Renqiu, the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, named Zuo Rong.

Gu Qiubai didn't want to be too blunt, nodded and said: "I don't dare to give advice, but it's okay for everyone to discuss and communicate with each other."

"Then Big Brother Yu, count me in too..." Another boy also said.

"Natural nature..."

Gu Qiubai exhaled, children who grew up in Shengjing, even if they have reached the foundation building level, are like flowers in a greenhouse, and their minds are far worse than those of demons.

After getting acquainted briefly, Gong Shubo said, "The three of you come here in three days to get the documents and report to the Imperial Academy."

"Yes."

Even if you pass the assessment, you still need to register, create identity tokens, record, etc. The process is cumbersome, and three days is still relatively short.

Gu Qiubai returned to his residence and contacted Lu Lingshuang again, but nothing happened for the time being, and everything was calm.

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

It was not until three days later that Gu Qiubai received the notice, received the documents, and followed a civil official into the palace.

Although it was not the first time for Gu Qiubai to see the palace, but when he got to the foot of the palace, he still looked up to him.

The city wall hundreds of meters high, the vermilion rubble, and the golden floor tiles all over the ground, all of which gave people invisible pressure!

Looking around, the entire imperial palace is like the Forbidden City magnified several times, but it has a heavy majesty and a strong sense of killing.

Gu Qiubai stood at the back, looking at the stone pillars standing at the four corners of the palace, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Large magic circle..."

The energy fluctuations emanating from these four stone pillars are not much weaker than that of Wanmozong's mountain protection array.

This is just the power on the surface, the power hidden behind is the most terrifying!

There are many checkpoints in the palace, which are heavily guarded, and you basically need to show a token to enter.

The Hanlin Academy is located in the due east of the imperial palace. The entire imperial palace is extremely large, and it takes too long to walk normally, so ascetics are also allowed to use their cultivation base to hurry.

The group walked for about half an hour before they came to a grand and bookish palace.

Under the leadership of the civil servants, three people who passed the examination of classics entered the palace.

Gu Qiubai looked over at a glance, most of the Confucian scholars in the entire palace were busy discussing non-stop at the moment, or transcribing manuscripts.

The hall is very spacious, covering hundreds of square meters, and separated by white walls. Each place is a different office area.

The civil servants brought Gu Qiubai and others to an office area of ​​fifty or sixty square meters. There were bookcases filled with books, and the space available for office work was only about a dozen square meters.

Fortunately, there are not many people in this area, including Gu Qiubai and the other three, there are only six people.

The civil official looked at the three of Gu Qiubai and said, "This will be your office area from now on. The position of classics is quite special, and someone needs to be on duty at night in turn. You can discuss how to deploy it."

"By the way, don't forget to move around at night. If you go to some places, you will lose your head. Also, if you see any damaged parts in the sent documents, you need to register them..."

The civil servant gave a series of instructions, and seeing that Gu Qiubai and the others were all consciously nodding yes, they left satisfied.

Gu Qiubai's eyes flickered, as expected he could stay in the palace, it seemed that he made the right choice.

However, according to the number of people, they can only stay one day a week, so they have to find a way to let the two little ghosts who came in with him give him the right to watch the night.

After the civil servant left, the little boy who came in with Gu Qiubai heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "This Li Wenzhong is really long-winded, and he has to go back and forth about important things like sesame seeds three times."

Gu Qiubai smiled, knowing that this little boy was named Sima Qi, and he was the grandson of Sima Lie, the general of Tianying.

Although he was born in the General's Mansion, the child loved ancient books since he was a child and didn't like to fight, so he was sent to the Imperial Academy to hone his skills.

Zuo Rong who followed immediately pouted and said in a low voice: "Sima Qi, you're talking bad things about others behind your back again. Daddy said that gossip is nothing to judge people's wrongs. Although we entered the Imperial Academy, we still have to abide by the rules."

Zuo Rong is just a good baby who obeys the family's arrangements, but she is a good person, not as delicate as a young lady.

"Brother Yu, you come to judge, this Li Wenzhong is very wordy, isn't he, he is comparable to my elder brother." Sima Qi said.

"Well, it's our first time to come to the Imperial Academy, and we haven't greeted these seniors in the same academy yet." Gu Qiubai reminded.

Only then did Zuo Rong and Sima Qi stick out their tongues, and greeted the other three people in the office area: "Young Sima Qi (Zuo Rong) has seen three seniors."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." The remaining three waved their hands quickly.

They knew the identities of these two people, and they were much more noble than them. The elders of the two people were all powerful figures in their respective fields.

After everyone introduced each other again, Gu Qiubai said, "I don't know how this night duty is arranged?"

"Let me wait for the night watch. Miss Zuo and Mr. Sima are rich, how can they do this kind of physical work." One of the horse-faced men said.

"That's not good. Daddy said that he should be in charge of government affairs. Since I have become a classic, I still have to do my best." Zuo Rong said with some embarrassment.

"Ms. Zuo is worrying too much. In fact, there is nothing to do at night. I just need to sort out the documents collected by the document department. Just leave this kind of trivial matter to me."

"No, no, if daddy knows that I was lazy when I first entered the Imperial Academy, he will definitely blame me." Zuo Rong shook her head.

"This..." The rest of the people were a little embarrassed.

Although it is simple to sort out the papers, it is rather cumbersome, and newcomers will find it difficult to bear, let alone Zuo Rong and the others who are rich.

Gu Qiubai's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Brother Wei, the three of us are new to the Imperial Academy, and we are not familiar with the procedures. See if this works. When I am on duty at night, I will accompany Miss Zuo Rong and Young Master Sima." Together, this will avoid mistakes.”

"Is that so...it's not impossible." Several people thought about it.

"Okay, it's decided like this. To tell you the truth, I have admired the books of the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and I just took advantage of the night watch to read more." Gu Qiubai said.

After the matter was handed over, everyone devoted themselves to their work.

It wasn't until night fell that Gu Qiubai spoke first: "Then I'll be on duty tonight."

"Brother Gu, I'll be on duty with you tonight." Zuo Rong hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Then, I'll come too!" Sima Qi saw Zuo Rong speak, and followed suit.

"These two brats..."

Gu Qiubai shook his head in his heart, but on the surface he said kindly: "Well, thank you very much."

The other three gave some warnings before leaving quietly.

Gu Qiubai looked at Zuo Rong and the two beside him, feeling calm in his heart, he had already found a way to escape.
