909 My daughter likes war horses
At first glance, it looked quite normal, but after taking a closer look, Cai Xiaolian found it a little strange.
This Empress had the feeling of working in the workplace. She treated all these wives as her subordinates. Because she was the newly-promoted wife of the scholar, Empress Xue even recognized her face and gave her some instructions, telling her about the rules of the banquet.
It couldn’t be helped. The other wives often attended the event, but she was new.
Shouldn’t the boss give the new subordinate some instructions?
That’s right, Cai Xiaolian had this feeling.
As for Gu Hui and Gu Xin, the Empress didn’t say much.
Empress Xue led a group of women to the table, and the Emperor also came.
Everyone stood up and greeted him. Gu Xin squinted her eyes and looked over. It was indeed uncle ye. However, she didn’t think so because uncle ye was always smiling!
Who knew that the emperor’s eyes would sweep over and meet Gu Xin’s.
The Emperor blinked and said,”all of you, sit down!.”
Gu Xin was speechless.
That’s right, it was uncle ye, it was him!
After everyone had taken their seats, the prince of Xing Nan Kingdom spoke,”Your Majesty of the great Zhou, I heard that the great Zhou held the imperial examination that was held once every three years a few days ago, and they chose the scholar! I have a question here that was set by our xingnan’s top scorer. I would like to see if the Zhou Dynasty’s top scorer can solve it!”
The emperor’s head hurt a little. This Xing Nan country, they really went into the problem basket, asking questions every time they opened their mouth, they must be sick!
“Your Royal Highness, don’t you know the level of your xingnan’s top scorer?” the third Prince asked.
Prince Xing Nan,’I think I’m not worse than the top scholar of great Zhou! Then I’ll give you the questions!”
Everyone from the great Zhou Empire thought,”hey, is there something wrong with you guys from the Xing Nan Kingdom? can’t you guys eat first?” There was no fun at all.
the first question is a cat and mouse game, ” Prince Xing Nan said. it’s about a cat finding a mouse ten steps away from it, and then the cat immediately chases it. If a cat ran five steps, a mouse would run nine steps. A mouse’s movements were faster than a cat’s. The cat could run two steps, while the mouse could run three steps. Can a cat catch a mouse? How many steps does it have to run to catch the mouse?”
With that, Prince Xing Nan looked at the people of the great Zhou around him with a smug look. Princess Xing Nan even looked at the youngest Tanhua of the great Zhou with wide eyes, wondering if he could answer it.
“Your Majesty,” Prince Xing Nan said proudly,”when the top scholar of Xing Nan came up with this question, my father solved it in fifteen minutes. Don’t you know great Zhou, Xuanji?”
“Scholar, tell him the answer,” the Emperor said calmly.
Prince Xing Nan was stunned, and so were the people of great Zhou. The scholar was so powerful? We only just understood the questions!
Gu shouxin stood up and cupped his hands to the Emperor. “Reporting to the Emperor, this question is too, too disdainful.”
Gu shouxin looked embarrassed.
The emperor’s heart skipped a beat. The people from Xing Nan country began to feel proud again.
Prince Xing Nan replied,’Aiya, I’ve been talking for fifteen minutes! Don’t worry, there’s still a while to go. It’s only a quarter of an hour. Take your time!”
Gu shouxin glanced at Prince Xing Nan as if he was looking at an idiot. He didn’t hide it at all.
The Emperor was relieved. Although he didn’t know what second brother Gu was up to, he was sure that it wasn’t bad for the great Zhou.
Prince Xing Nan: ” scholar! If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t look at me like that!
Gu shouxin sighed and said,”this question is too simple.” My daughter was able to solve these problems when she was ten years old.”
The prince of Xing Nan glared at him,”are you trying to coax me?” I don’t even know how to do it when I’m twenty!”
“If your Highness doesn’t believe me, shall we make a bet?” Gu shouxin asked.
“Okay, what do you want to bet on?” Prince Xing Nan asked.
Gu shouxin thought for a while and said,”if my daughter can make it, Your Highness will give one of the warhorses to my daughter. She likes horses.” &Nbsp;
Prince Xing Nan agreed. Immediately, immediately answer! I’m not going to waste my breath on you. Where’s your daughter?”
Gu shouxin looked at Gu Xin and Gu Xin stood up.
