The sixth princess obviously calculated faster than her.
What is even more shocking is that there is no verification process on the huge piece of paper, only the answer. In other words, the Sixth Princess did not check the calculation and calculated the answer with mental arithmetic!
This is the real mathematical genius!
Xie Mingxi was very excited and looked at the Sixth Princess intently, as if seeing her for the first time.
The Sixth Princess turned her head slightly and quickly blinked at Xie Mingxi, with a hint of a mischievous smile flashing in her eyes.
Xie Mingxi calmed down, stood up and said, "Master, the Sixth Princess and I have settled the matter."
Everyone: "..."
Li Xiangru, who was still busy writing, looked shocked and blurted out: "How is this possible! Xie Mingxi, did you secretly tell Her Highness the Sixth Princess the answer?"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them endlessly.
Even if it is the truth, it is not up to her to expose it. What if the sixth princess becomes angry and holds a grudge?
Sheng Jinyue was so dizzy and had no clue yet, she couldn't help but said: "Sixth cousin, did you really figure it out yourself?"
In fact, even Master Ji was a little surprised. She kept watching everyone's movements. Xie Mingxi was good at arithmetic and was the fastest, which was not surprising to her.
But the Sixth Princess has not started writing yet, she just sat there like this. It was not until a moment ago that she picked up the pen and wrote out the answer... It doesn't look like she calculated it by herself!
However, the sixth princess never raised her head to look around, so there was no suspicion of plagiarism.
Master Ji stepped forward and glanced at the answer on the paper. After a while, he finally opened his mouth and asked, "Is this the answer calculated by Her Royal Highness?"
The sixth princess nodded.
Master Ji stared at the Sixth Princess closely and asked: "Your Highness, you don't need to check the calculations, can you just use mental arithmetic to calculate?"
The sixth princess continued to nod as a matter of course.
Master Ji: "..."
Xie Mingxi's voice sounded: "Master, I can vouch for Your Highness. Your Highness did not read my answer. In fact, I was one step slower than Your Highness."
Then, Xie Mingxi looked at the Sixth Princess and sighed sincerely: "Her Royal Highness is the real arithmetic genius, even better than me!"
The sixth princess looked at Xie Mingxi who was filled with admiration and admiration, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Master Ji came to his senses at this time and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Your Highness the Princess is actually a genius in arithmetic! It's really great! In the academy competition half a year later, our arithmetic in Lianchi Academy finally doesn't have to be
At the bottom."
…
Master Ji was in a very good mood and was determined to take the test for the sixth princess of the school, so he asked three more questions in a row.
"Twelve steps from Tian Guang. From fourteen steps, what is the geometry of Tian?"
"Now there are eight-ninths. If you reduce it by one-fifth, how much is left?"
"One hundred steamed buns and one hundred monks. There is no competition between three senior monks. Three junior monks will share one. How many senior monks and junior monks each have?"
Xie Mingxi wrote the calculation.
The Sixth Princess still didn't write, she just thought silently, and after a cup of tea, she picked up her pen and wrote down the answer.
One hundred and sixty-eight steps.
Thirty-one/45.
The senior monk is twenty-five and the junior monk is seventy-five.
At this time, Xie Mingxi had only calculated the first two questions, and had not yet started writing the third question. Xie Mingxi was extremely smart and had never admitted defeat, but at this time she was so convinced that she lost: "I am not as good as Her Royal Highness!"
The eyes of the Sixth Princess flashed with an unprecedented look.
Mr. Ji saw it with his own eyes and had no doubts anymore. He smiled happily again.
Li Xiangru bit her lip hard, her heart filled with bitterness. She couldn't do math as well as Xie Mingxi, and now there was a sixth princess who was a math genius... In the future, it would be difficult for her to stand out in math.
Even Lin Weiwei felt a little sad.
She has been fond of arithmetic since she was a child. Her father specially hired an old accountant to teach her arithmetic. Unfortunately, there are always some people in this world who are so talented that they are so called geniuses. They are like mountains standing tall and out of reach.
…
At Shen Shizheng, the arithmetic class was over, and the girls could leave school and go home.
Xie Mingxi packed up her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, turned her head, and saw the Sixth Princess frowning slightly and looking helpless, and felt pity in her heart. The Sixth Princess was used to being taken care of by others, so how could she do such trivial matters?
"Your Highness, let me clean it up for you."
Xie Mingxi took the initiative to ask for help.
There was a hint of apology in the eyes of the Sixth Princess, but more importantly, she was happy to be cared for.
Lin twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
For some reason, she always felt that there was something slightly wrong with the sixth princess... What exactly was wrong, she couldn't tell.
Lin Weiwei's eyes flashed, and he smiled deliberately and said: "Thank you sister, I'm here to help you too." After saying that, he also walked forward and stretched out his hand to clear the table for the Sixth Princess.
The sixth princess glanced over.
That look was a little cold and a little unkind.
Lin Weiwei: "..."
Lin Weiwei had no choice but to retract her hand and stand aside.
Xie Mingxi smiled apologetically at Lin Wei: "Sister Lin, don't be angry. I think Her Highness the Princess is not used to people touching her things at will."
So, only Xie Mingxi can touch it?
Also, why did Xie Mingxi apologize on behalf of the Sixth Princess?
Lin Weiwei twitched the corner of her mouth again. After Xie Mingxi finished cleaning up, she smiled and said: "Lin Mansion and Xie Mansion are in the same direction, we can walk together for a while."
Xie Mingxi happily agreed: "Okay, let's go back together."
Sixth Princess: "..."
The palace is in the opposite direction! Walking together is impossible.
Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei said goodbye together and then left together.
The sixth princess left the school in a depressed manner.
Ran Mo, who was waiting outside the door, quickly looked at the Sixth Princess and made sure that not even a hair was missing from the Sixth Princess. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and came forward with a smile: "Finally, school is over. Concubine Mei must be in the palace."
We look forward to it. Your Highness, Princess, please return to the palace as soon as possible!"
The luster in the eyes of the Sixth Princess had long since faded away, and she had returned to her usual gloomy look, nodding slightly.
…
Master Ji walked briskly and went to see Master Gu: "...I have been a Master for many years and I have never seen such a mathematical genius. He can solve problems without any calculations and only relies on mental arithmetic. His calculation speed is extremely fast and he is even better.
Xie Mingxi. I feel ashamed to say that I am afraid I am not as good as me."
Chief Gu Shan was also pleasantly surprised: "Is the Sixth Princess really so powerful?"
Ji Fuzi was good at arithmetic, and no one in Lianchi Academy could surpass him. Even compared with the arithmetic masters from other academies, he was not inferior.
However, there are very few students in Lianchi Academy who are good at arithmetic and like to study. Every year in academy competitions, arithmetic is at the bottom. Master Ji feels frustrated and helpless.
Having Xie Mingxi already made Master Ji very happy, and the sixth princess's arithmetic talent was an unexpected surprise.
Master Ji smiled from ear to ear: "Exactly!"
Gu Shanchang's eyes also lit up: "Great! In this case, you should pay more attention to the Sixth Princess and Xie Mingxi. In addition to class, you might as well teach them more after class."
