Chapter IV
"Simple?"
Empress Yue Hanxiang looked at the two prodigies next to him, they were already exhausted, and they didn't know what to do.
"Don't pretend, you kid, don't blame me for not giving me a chance, if you don't calculate it within an hour, you'll lose!"
The prince of Yan Kingdom pointed at Gao Xi arrogantly and said.
"I originally wanted to give you Yan Guo a little face, but I didn't expect you to still appreciate it!" Gao Xi shook his head and stood up.
"Nonsense, it's up to you? A few prodigies in our Yan Kingdom calculated for more than three hours before they came up with the answer!"
The prince of Yan flicked his sleeves and snorted.
"Not only did I think of the answer, but I also thought of three answers!" Gao Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Three...... Three kinds. The prince of Yan Kingdom gritted his teeth, several prodigies of their Yan Kingdom only calculated two answers, but I didn't expect that there were still people here who knew the third answer.
"Listen, four roosters, eighteen hens, seventy-eight chicks. Isn't that right?"
Gao Xi turned his head to look at the prince of Yan Kingdom.
"Yes, there is a second one!" the prince of Yan asked a little unconvinced.
"Eight roosters, eleven hens, eleven chicks!, yes or no?" Gao Xi asked again.
"Yes, what about the third one, I don't believe you have a third answer!" The prince of Yan Kingdom was still unconvinced.
"Twelve roosters, four females, and fourteen chicks. Am I right?" Gao Xi smirked.
"This ...... That's your luck. ”
The prince of Yan Guo calculated carefully in his heart, and sure enough, there was a third answer, and for a while, he was surprised and jealous of Gao Xi.
"Is there only such a simple topic?" Gao Xi shrugged his shoulders and walked in front of the prince of Yan Kingdom, "If you only have such a simple topic, then I doubt the wisdom of your prodigies of Yan Kingdom." Moreover, you Yan Kingdom are not worthy of our empress!"
"Don't be complacent, Gao Xi! Even if you are smart and have calculated this question, the next question will be even more difficult!"
The prince of Yan Kingdom snorted, put his hands behind his back, and said the topic loudly.
"In my Yan country, there is a thousand-story pagoda, and in order to show respect for the Buddha, my father put a pearl on the first layer, two on the second layer, and so on, on the thousandth floor, a thousand were placed. Gao Xi, since you call yourself a prodigy, then you can calculate how many pearls my father put in this tower!"
"Yan Guo deceives people too much, and makes up this kind of problem, isn't this embarrassing for us!"
The prime minister rebuked hatefully.
"Since you can't figure it out, then follow the rules and agree to this family business!" The prince of Yan Kingdom smiled faintly, he glanced at Gao Xi, even Gao Xi frowned, it seems that he has won.
"Gao Xi, you ...... Can you figure it out?"
Empress Yue Hanxiang also saw Gao Xi's sad face, and asked with some concern.
After all, this is about the fate of the entire Yue country.
"It's hard, it's hard!" Gao Xi shook his head.
"Even you can't figure it out, it seems that this family affair is imperative!" the prince of Yan Kingdom smiled.
"No, no, no, I'm not saying your question is hard. In fact, the Empress promised me a condition, and I wondered, what is the condition?"
Gao Xi smiled confidently, pointed at the prince of Yan Kingdom and said, "As for your question, I can figure it out when I am three years old." ”
"How is it possible, how can you come up with such an answer in such a short time!"
The prince of Yan Kingdom was a little scared in his heart, if Gao Xi could even calculate this, wouldn't he be a prodigy among prodigies?
"In total, five hundred thousand and one, am I, an idler, right?
Gao Xi especially accentuated the word smart, ridiculing the prince of Yan Guo for not being as good as him as an idler.
"No, no!"
The prince of Yan Kingdom played a trick at this time, pointed at Gao Xi and said, "You must have eavesdropped on my post station last night, I also calculated this answer at the post station last night, and accidentally said it, you sinister villain must have been eavesdropping at that time!"
"Yes, the prince of Yan Kingdom, you are responsible for your words! Do you want me to come up with a question to test you?"
Gao Xi approached the prince of Yan Kingdom, and his cold gaze made the prince of Yan Kingdom's scalp tingle.
"You win this battle! Let's go. ”
The prince of Yan Kingdom has seen Gao Xi's cleverness, if Gao Xi comes up with a topic that they can't calculate, it won't be a shame for Yan Guo.
The only way to do this is to go home directly and report this trip to the Emperor of Yan.
It's a pity, it's a pity, one day, I want to make Yue Kingdom the territory of my Yan Kingdom!
The prince of Yan Kingdom said hatefully as he walked out of the palace.
"Prince, just go back like this, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor will blame me for waiting for ......," the envoy said with some concern.
"Do you still need to tell me, since it was this Gao Xi who ruined our plan, then let's take Gao Xi's head back and ask for the guilt!"
The prince of Yan Kingdom gritted his teeth, and his heart slowly became ruthless.
In the court, all the officials of the Yue Kingdom expressed their joy at Gao Xi's behavior this time, and it was really their happiness to have such a prodigy.
"Empress, your decision to take Gao Gongzi back to the palace that day is really wise and powerful, and Gao Gongzi has now repaid the empress with his wisdom, which is really gratifying. ”
The prime minister, as the head of the hundred officials, was the first to stand up and praise Gao Xi.
"Gao Xi, you have solved the problem of Yue Guo this time, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the people of Yue Guo!"
The Empress Yue Hanxiang also grinned rarely, looking extremely beautiful.
"You're welcome, Empress. This is what I should do, even if it is to repay the Empress for taking care of her for the past few days!"
Gao Xi bowed slightly, polite.
"Gao Xi, now you can make that request!" Empress Yue Hanxiang said.
"It's a simple request. I hope to say it in the evening, when I have dinner with the Empress. ”
Gao Xi said with a smile.
You kid, you're so cheeky, you even want to dine with the Empress!
Gonggong Liu had a slight complaint in his heart, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and Gao Xi is so presumptuous, he will always have to suffer.
"Shall we dine together? Okay, for the sake of your great achievement, I promise you. ”
Empress Yue Hanxiang did not refuse, and directly agreed.
"Please move the empress to the cold house, go and prepare first!" Gao Xi bowed, and left without waiting for the empress to respond. There doesn't seem to be any nostalgia.
"What a strange man, I really don't know where this kid came from. "Father-in-law Liu was a little confused.
"Prepare for me, that question, I will get the answer tonight. Empress Yue Hanxiang glanced at Gonggong Liu coldly, got up and left the court.
