"Sister, is there an answer to this question?" Zhao Yuanxuan asked.

Zhao Yuanrong said with a smile: "You are so smart that you have thought about it for three days and three nights and have not come up with it, how can I see it at once?" ”

Hearing the praise, Zhao Yuanxuan's mood immediately improved a lot. She has always prided herself on being smart, but in the past few days, she has been hit by a question from Ji Ning and her confidence has collapsed, and she almost agreed with Ji Ning's words to scold her for being stupid.

"Sister......" She was about to speak happily, when she found that Zhao Yuanrong had lowered her head slightly, looking intently at the question on the paper, her beautiful jade face exuded a contemplative look, and she had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth.

She looked at Zhao Yuanrong's beautiful jade face that was focused on contemplation, and felt that it was so beautiful that she was envious from the bottom of her heart.

She's a cousin who has made her look up since she was a child.

Not only is it favored by the emperor and queen today, but also wise, the country is beautiful, and is rated as the first beauty in the world.

Not only that, unlike many princesses and county lords who are locked up in the palace and palace all year round, her cousin has a wide range of free activities. In addition to being the favor of the emperor and queen today, the most important thing is that he is very capable and has a very set of things, and can share many affairs with the emperor and queen, and even the prince's edge is faintly overshadowed by her.

Zhao Yuanrong thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Zhao Yuanxuan: "This question is very clever and interesting, I need a pen and paper to deduce it carefully." ”

With that, she walked over to her chair and sat down.

"Sister, is there really an answer to this question?" Zhao Yuanxuan hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yuanrong groaned slightly and said, "There should be." The person who can come up with this question is not simple, he should not be fooling you. ”

"What can he do that isn't simple? There is no learning or skill, and he is covered with copper smell......" Zhao Yuanxuan couldn't help but say disdainfully, but halfway through speaking, he found that Zhao Yuanrong had already deduced with a brush and focused on the rice paper, so he didn't say anything.

She walked behind Zhao Yuanrong and watched intently how Zhao Yuanrong deduced.

This focused deduction is to get to the dark palm lamp.

Lord Chong and the princess circled around the door of the study a few times.

They were worried that Zhao Yuanrong would break his body and not come out to eat for such a long time, and he would not be able to explain to the emperor and the queen, but they knew very well that their imperial niece had a crazy energy when she was focused, and it was impossible to persuade her to rest and eat at this time, and it annoyed her.

However, now that it is the end of the time, it will immediately enter the time of Hai, and in the middle of the night, the prince and the princess have to interrupt Zhao Yuanrong.

Lord Chong personally reached out and knocked on the door several times, but Zhao Yuanrong was still focused on the deduction, but Zhao Yuanxuan was disturbed.

Zhao Yuanxuan impatiently walked to the door, blocked King Chong and the princess out of the door, and then said quickly in a suppressed voice: "Daddy, mother, don't disturb your sister, it's a critical moment!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for King Chong and the princess to react, she immediately hurriedly turned around and hurried back, for fear of missing the most critical part of the deduction.

King Chong and the princess were stunned for a moment, and they smiled silently at each other.

"Lord, Princess Wenren has always acted in an orderly manner, so that she will not really starve herself. Let's go back and wait. The princess whispered.

King Chong nodded, turned and paced away. He is also a prince anyway, Zhao Yuanrong's own uncle, it is impossible to keep guard at the door all the time.

After a little half an hour, Zhao Yuanrong finally put down the Zihao pen, and stretched his delicate body beautifully.

"It's calculated, and the first word to collect money is twenty taels of silver." Zhao Yuanrong said with a sense of accomplishment, "Tomorrow, you go and ask the person who asked the question, is this the answer." ”

Zhao Yuanxuan said: "Don't wait for tomorrow, he has already given me the answer." ”

As she spoke, she quickly found the handkerchief that Ji Ning had given her.

Under Zhao Yuanrong's slightly puzzled gaze, she opened the handkerchief, revealing the copper coin wrapped in the handkerchief.

"A copper coin is a tael of silver." She explained to Zhao Yuanrong, and then counted the copper coins: "One, two, three......"

“…… Eighteen, nineteen, twenty! Twenty taels in total! At the end of the count, Zhao Yuanxuan jumped up excitedly and shouted excitedly, "Sister, sister, we have calculated it!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong couldn't help but smile with relief, this question was too clever and interesting.

The topic itself is already difficult, and it actually adds a trap that makes people be misled into finding out how many words there are in the world.

After being happy and excited for a while, Zhao Yuanrong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, how could you be tested by someone to ask such a tricky question?" ”

"It's not the liar who cheated the world!" Thinking of Ji Ning, Zhao Yuanxuan was full of fire, and then she told her about the incident in the Mid-Levels that day.

After listening to Zhao Yuanxuan, Zhao Yuanrong asked in shock: "Is this question really improvised?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Yuanxuan had to admit that he was authentic, "He is indeed a temporary question." ”

Zhao Yuanrong said with a sigh: "It's a pity that we pride ourselves on being smart on weekdays, but how do we know that there are many really smart and wise people in the world!" ”

Hearing that his cousin actually sighed that the notorious gentleman was a real smart and wise person, Zhao Yuanxuan couldn't help but retort: "Sister, you are wrong. He's not a smart man! You don't know how unlearned he is, and even his fame is in the shadow! ”

"Isn't it?" Zhao Yuanrong felt incredulous.

Zhao Yuanxuan immediately introduced Ji Ning, and did not forget to smear Ji Ning to death.

After she finished speaking, she concluded: "So, this question was accidentally thought of by him, and it was not his talent at all. ”

Zhao Yuanrong smiled slightly, ignored Zhao Yuanxuan's smear against Ji Ning, and said to himself: "This palace really wants to meet him, if he is really a talent, it is not bad to take over his subordinates." ”

Zhao Yuanrong and Zhao Yuanxuan walked out of the study together, and someone had already reported to Chongwang.

King Chong and the princess immediately ordered someone to respectfully invite Zhao Yuanrong to the dining house for dinner together.

It turned out that although King Chong was Zhao Yuanrong's own uncle, Zhao Yuanrong was too favored by the emperor and queen, and his ability to do things was strong, and the prince and many princes were far inferior. Now that Zhao Yuanrong has the real power in his hands, he is not as good as an uncle, and he has to ask Zhao Yuanrong for help with some things.

Therefore, for dinner, his uncle has to wait for Zhao Yuanrong.

The palace dining courtyard is brightly lit, and the slaves and maids are rushing around the banquet, and all kinds of delicacies are generally served to the table.

At the banquet, Zhao Yuanrong raised wine to ask King Chong and the princess for their guilt, and King Chong and the princess naturally smiled kindly and said that it was okay, and praised Zhao Yuanrong.

King Chong is not only the younger brother of the current emperor, but also has a very strong relationship and deep trust, so he was appointed to Jinling City, the capital to build a palace. In the early years, before the current emperor ascended the throne, Zhao Yuanrong went to Chongwang's house to play.

Therefore, after Zhao Yuanrong wanted to worship the king, the atmosphere of the banquet that followed was harmonious, and it had a bit of family affection from ordinary people.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Yuanrong said to King Chong: "Uncle, since you arrived in Jinling City, my niece has not been able to listen to your teachings for a long time. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, my niece doesn't plan to return to the capital, so I'll leave you here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, can I? ”

"Haha, very good, very good!" King Chong laughed loudly.

The princess said in due course: "This morning, I also proposed to your uncle to keep you for the Mid-Autumn Festival." It's just that your uncle was worried that you would have something important to go back to Kyoto, so he didn't tell you about it. ”

Zhao Yuanxuan also squeaked excitedly.

After a burst of laughter, Zhao Yuanrong said: "I have heard the talent of the world, Jinling City occupies eighty percent, the capital occupies one percent, and he divides one percent. I wonder if there is a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting held in my uncle's house? My niece would love to see how talented the talented people of Jinling City were. ”

"It's rare for you to spend a Mid-Autumn Festival in Jinling City, and this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting has to be held once no matter what!" King Chong smiled.

Chongwangfu originally did not plan to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, but he roughly estimated that Zhao Yuanrong wanted to take this opportunity to collect some talents for his own use. Otherwise, Zhao Yuanrong returned to the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival and continued to maintain the favor of the emperor and the queen, which was much better than staying in Jinling City to accompany his uncle.

Although there are only two or three days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the influence of the Chongwang Mansion, it is no problem to hold a grand Mid-Autumn Festival poetry party.

"Yuan Rong, thank you, uncle." Zhao Yuanrong stood up and saluted and thanked King Chong.
