"My father has a wonderful plan, that's exactly what happened."
This sentence made everyone surprised, and their eyes towards Xiao Lezi became even more intense. They whispered to each other and whispered about the background of this little eunuch, wondering what kind of ability she had that could make the eldest prince and the prince stand in front of each other.
At the same time, she was fighting for the emperor's presence.
Xiao Lezi himself was stunned. These two men were so full that they came together to make fun of her?!
The emperor's expression became a little subtle. He looked at Xiao Lezi meaningfully: "You are really capable of making my two sons fight for you. Shouldn't you say something?"
What nonsense! Xiao Lezi felt that she was really shot while lying down. She was having a sweet dream just now, but she was woken up in the middle of the dream, and she was forced to make a bloody plot of choosing one of two men.
If they are not princes, if there is no emperor next to them, Xiao Lezi will point at their noses and ask them to fight, and whoever wins will listen to whoever wins!
An idea flashed in Xiao Lezi's mind. Yes, we can let them compete. Whoever wins will be the one she goes with. How fair!
She bowed to the emperor, then cleared her throat, ignoring Yan Nishang's eyes filled with envy and jealousy, and said calmly: "I don't know how virtuous and capable I am, but I can actually win the favor of the eldest prince and his highness.
This is really a blessing that this slave has cultivated in his previous life. This slave has nothing to repay in this life, and he will repay his kindness as a cow or a horse in his next life."
Having said this, she looked around at everyone's expressions, and there was no change. They all seemed to be waiting for her to continue.
She thought about her words for a moment, and then said slowly: "The eldest prince and His Royal Highness are both very noble. I don't want to refuse anyone's kindness, but I only have one body and can't be split in half. To be honest, minion.
I don’t know who to choose, so I boldly come up with an idea, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.”
The emperor leaned on the dragon chair: "But it doesn't matter."
"I will give you three questions for the First Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince to guess. Whoever answers the most questions will be followed by me."
"It sounds very simple, but..." The emperor looked at her leisurely, "I am very curious about what kind of questions you can give. My two sons are very knowledgeable. Are you sure you can
Can you stop them?"
Xiao Lezi lowered his head: "I know I am overestimating my own abilities, but I have no choice but to dare to offer my advice. The questions are all random thoughts of the servant, but I guarantee that they all have correct answers. With the intelligence of the eldest prince and his highness,
It should be a simple matter to come up with the answer."
"You should plan to find a way out for yourself before the competition begins." The emperor smiled and looked at the others. "You have nothing to do, so let's have some fun and have a question-answering competition."
, it can be regarded as an entertainment program at the dinner, what do you think, dear ladies?"
When the emperor opened his mouth, whoever dared not to obey would be greeted by all the ministers who nodded in agreement, praising how good and wonderful the idea was.
Xiao Lezi was not as thick-skinned as these old guys. After listening to a few words, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He quickly changed his attention. Under the gaze of everyone, he said: "This first question is related to arithmetic. Forty-eight people are sitting here."
A large boat can seat five people and costs three copper coins. Another type of boat can seat three people and costs two copper coins. What plan can I use to spend the least money on the boat? "
Everyone was dizzy by her series of numbers. Some people started counting on their fingers, while others turned their attention to the eldest prince and the prince, looking forward to what answers they could give.
This is an issue involving overall planning. As a leader and decision-maker, you will often face such arrangement issues. As the largest leader of the entire Wushuang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor is obviously also very interested in this issue at the moment. He is silently calculating in his mind.
After reading it again, the answer seemed to come out all at once.
He glanced at Xiao Lezi with a half-smile, and Xiao Lezi stuck out his tongue at him until such a childish question couldn't trouble him, and his naughty look made him laugh uncontrollably.
There is no time limit for answering questions, but with so many people watching, both Xiao Feng and Xiao Yun are under great pressure.
After about a cup of tea, Xiao Feng said: "Nine large ships and one small ship cost a total of twenty-nine copper coins. This is the most economical plan."
After saying that, he immediately looked at Xiao Lezi with burning eyes. She looked away from him and nodded: "His Royal Highness, the answer is correct."
Xiao Feng smiled charmingly, and his handsome and uplifting eyebrows made people's hearts beat, making Yan Nichang's eyes widen.
Xiao Feng later calculated the answer, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. He smiled helplessly: "Second brother, congratulations on your good start."
"No, thank you very much, my dear brother, for your permission!"
Seeing the hypocritical politeness of the two brothers, Xiao Lezi curled his lips secretly and said: "The second question is a crossword puzzle. One side is red, the other side is green, one side likes the wind, the other side likes the rain, guess a word."
Several editors from the Hanlin Academy were very interested in this topic. They lowered their heads and dipped their fingers in the wine, pondering over it one stroke at a time on the table.
This question is not difficult. It didn’t take long for Xiao Yun to be the first to come up with the answer: “It’s the word autumn, right?”
Xiao Lezi nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Yun smiled: "It's a very interesting word puzzle."
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "What is the third question?"
Xiao Lezi signaled everyone not to worry, and said slowly: "The last question is very simple. There is an animal that has four legs when it is young, two legs when it grows up, and three legs when it grows old. Guess, this is
What animal?”
Everyone was stunned, what kind of animal was this? It was simply unheard of!
Everyone was whispering among each other, and Xiao Feng and Xiao Yun both frowned and thought seriously. Obviously, they both felt that this topic was too strange. Even the emperor seemed very curious about this topic: "Xiao Lezi, where in the world can this be done?"
Is there such an animal as you mentioned? Don’t lie to us. The crime of deceiving the emperor is no joke."
Xiao Lezi said with a smile: "The answer is really simple. Even if I lend you a thousand courages, I will not dare to play tricks on Your Majesty!"
"I'm sorry you don't have the guts," the emperor paused, waved to her, called her to him, and then asked in a low voice, "Tell me secretly, what kind of animal is this?"
Xiao Lezi grinned: "Your Majesty, can't you guess it?"
"Ahem, I live in the palace all year round. Except when hunting, I rarely see wild animals outside." The emperor glanced at her, "Are you making fun of my ignorance?"
"I don't dare," Xiao Lezi plucked up the courage and whispered a word into his ear.
The emperor looked confused when he heard the answer, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at Xiao Lezi with a sudden realization: "You slave is really a thief."
Xiao Lezi touched his nose and said with a smile: "It's just a small trick, as long as Your Majesty is happy."
Xiao Feng, who had been paying attention to Xiao Lezi, his eyes flashed when he saw the interaction between her and the emperor. He seemed to have thought of something. He thought about it carefully again and felt that the answer should be correct, so he said
: "It's a human being, right?"
This time, not only Xiao Yun was a little stunned, but everyone also looked surprised, thinking, aren't people born with only two legs? This answer is definitely wrong!
Xiao Lezi blinked: "How did your Highness come up with this answer?"
Xiao Feng said calmly: "When a person is born, he can only crawl on the ground, so he has four legs. When he grows up and can walk upright, he has two legs.
As people age, they have to use crutches to walk, so they become three-legged again."
After hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly became enlightened and praised Xiao Feng's knowledge. Even Xiao Yun bowed his hands to him: "Second brother, I am convinced that I lost."
"Brother, you're welcome."
The three questions have been answered, and Xiao Feng is slightly better. According to the agreement in advance, the little fun belongs to him.
This result was expected by Xiao Lezi. She glanced at Xiao Feng and saw that he was in a good mood. She curled her lips and said nothing more.
Just when the dust had settled, Yan Nichang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I didn't expect that a little servant of the Wushuang Dynasty could be so smart. It really impressed me. I just kept watching, and I just thought this game of answering questions was quite interesting.
It's fun, I really want to play another game with Xiao Lezi, I wonder if Xiao Lezi can reward me for this face?"
Do you still have any face?! Xiao Lezi rolled his eyes in his heart, but maintained a humble expression on his face: "This slave is just a little eunuch. The princess has a golden branch and beautiful leaves. I am stupid and willing to admit defeat."
Before it even started, she gave in, which was beyond Yan Nichang's expectation: "If you give in, you have to agree to my request."
"..." Xiao Lezi didn't say anything, this girl really won't die unless she wants to die!
"My request is very simple. You just need to take off your clothes and run around the palace."
The palace is so big, it would take at least ten miles to run around it. It would kill people!
Xiao Lezi looked at her speechlessly: "I really don't know that the majestic Princess Beiyan has a hobby of watching eunuchs running naked."
As soon as the Chinese language was spoken, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Due to the reputation of the two countries, they tightened their faces and tried hard not to laugh out loud. Oh my god, it's so hard to hold back the laughter!
Yan Nishang was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Don't talk nonsense, or I will tear your mouth open!"
"You are a noble princess, but if you say such harsh words, it will damage Beiyan's image."
Xiao Lezi's friendly reminder made Yan Nichang even more angry. She insisted: "Anyway, if you admit defeat, you must do what I say, otherwise you are lying and deceiving me!"
Xiao Lezi deliberately showed a timid expression: "Oh, the princess is so fierce, what you said made me feel so scared~"
"you!"
"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Prime Minister Beiyan, who had always been used as a backdrop, finally couldn't help but interrupted their quarrel. He stood up and bowed his hands to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the little princess is just playing.
I'm just upset, but I don't mean any harm. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me." (To be continued)
