Several county lords laughed quietly: "This girl can't even count, shouldn't she just put it in the last grid, and the fireworks will be over." ”

Xianghua lowered her eyes, put down four grains of rice in the third grid, and looked up at the prince again.

"Lord Wang, please take a closer look. The first grid is placed with a grain of rice, and from the second grid onwards, each grid is doubled from the previous one, until the last grid. Xianghua bets with you that if you can give these rice grains, Xianghua will kowtow to you three times for the people of Huangni Village and Baishi Village, and if you can't give it, you will punish yourself with a pot, how about it? ”

The prince was already seven or eight points drunk, and when he heard this, he laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? The king's fiefdom is thousands of hectares of fertile land, and what is there to be unappreciated on a mere chessboard! ”

Wei Ping shook his fan with a smile and said, "Uncle Thirteen really drank too much." ”

King Zhongshun also took a sip of his glass, but smiled silently.

The prince was still confused, so he asked, "Why, you all underestimate this king?" You, tell this king, you need a few catties and a few taels, and this king will send it to the princess's mansion tomorrow! ”

Xianghua said with a smile: "Xianghua is not good at learning, and I also ask the princes and county lords who are proficient in algorithms to inform the prince of the results." ”

As soon as she said this, many people carefully calculated, at first they were still laughing and laughing with ease, and when they reached the twentieth or thirty grids, they were a little sweaty, and the more they were later, the more cold sweat they became...... Gradually, no one laughed.

The prince's son had already quietly asked someone to ask someone from the household department to help calculate, and when he got the result, he was stunned when he saw it-

Not to mention that their fiefdom can't get so much rice, even if it is the granary of the world, it will take hundreds of years to afford it!

This prince's face was pale, and he didn't understand why he had suffered such a big loss in front of this girl, still in front of the emperor and the princes.

Xianghua was not aggressive, and smiled obediently: "It seems that the prince's wine has woken up." Lord, do you want to give rice now, or do you want to drink a pot for yourself? ”

The prince's eyes widened, he glanced at Xianghua hatefully, grabbed the wine jug on the table and poured it violently, and directly admitted defeat.

Seeing this, Wei Ping shook his fan and smiled proudly.

Sure enough, this girl Xianghua never suffers in vain.

Xianghua cleaned up this prince, and didn't forget to get cheap and behaved: "Xianghua is ugly, thank you for accompanying me to play this play." ”

When they heard her say this, they all laughed, and the feast resumed.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor took everyone to the city tower to watch the fireworks show. The night sky is purple and red, bright as spring, brilliant as a starfall, and noisy as a fire.

Xianghua was a little afraid of the explosion of fireworks, and hid in the corner with Ying'er alone. Seeing that it was almost over, everyone became more and more interested, and Xianghua had already quietly yawned a few times.

"Is it that the fireworks in this imperial city are not good-looking, or are the people here not liking, why did they hide here alone?"

Xianghua looked back, and it turned out to be Wei Ping walking over with a fan.

Good guys, which pot is not opened.

Xianghua sighed, got up and saluted: "The prince is well." ”

Wei Ping saw that her look was very reluctant, helpless, and aggrieved, so he smiled: "You have the words 'I want to sleep' written on your face." ”

Xianghua saw that he said this, and he didn't hide it, so she simply sat down and said, "Is it also popular to observe the New Year in this palace?" ”

"Isn't that?" Wei Ping came over and sat next to her, and said matter-of-factly, "Not only must we keep the New Year, but if anyone falls asleep this night, he will not have to see the sun tomorrow." ”

Xianghua looked at him with a frown.

Wei Ping nodded, indicating that he was not lying, "In order not to doze off tonight, I drank several pots of strong tea at home." ”

Xianghua stared at him for a while, then turned her head and said, "I don't believe it." According to you, the prince who owes me rice will be the first to suffer. ”

Wei Ping heard that she still remembered that stubble, so he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it seems that you haven't been sleepy yet." ”

Xianghua yawned again and said, "It's almost there." ”

Her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and her sleepy appearance didn't look like pretending, Wei Ping saw that she was a little sleepy and a little distressed, so he said, "I didn't lie to you." The rules in the palace are to keep the year until dawn, if you can't stand it and fall asleep, it doesn't hurt, it's just that you can't please in front of others. You don't need it, so don't sleep here, go to the side hall and sleep. ”

Xianghua stared at him in a daze, and for a moment she couldn't tell if what he said was true or not. If it's fake, what's in it for him to lie to her? If so, did he really care about her so much? His father almost killed her last time.

"What, afraid I'll lie to you?" He asked gracefully.

Xianghua certainly doesn't admit it.

“…… It's so cold, is there a stove and quilt in the side hall? ”

Wei Ping smiled: "Naturally, there is." ”

"Why don't you go to sleep?" She asked rhetorically.

Wei Ping smiled: "I have other important things to do. ”

Xianghua asked, "Where is the nearest side hall?" ”

Wei Ping drew a sketch on the table with a fan, "Turn right out of the gate, turn around again, and you will see a side hall, there are guards and little palace maids on duty, you don't have to say who you are, just go in." ”

Xianghua nodded, and asked again, "You came to me to talk about this?" ”

"Or else?" Wei Ping curled the corners of his mouth.

She is the only newcomer in this palace, and if the people next to her want to sleep, they would have slipped away, but Princess Anping is talking with the emperor at this time, and she can't get out of her body, if Xianghua is not used to it, she can only endure hardship.

Xianghua remembered the appearance of his old illness last time, and couldn't bear it, so she said, "Thank you so much." ”

Wei Ping just laughed.

Xianghua was so sleepy that her eyelids fought, and after sitting for a while, she took Ying'er to the side hall.

Everything there turned out to be as Wei Ping said, Xianghua and Ying'er made an appointment to sleep for an hour, and she got up to change shifts, and the two of them rested.

Who knew that Xianghua slept until dawn, and a little palace maid came to call her, so she woke up from a dream.

"What time is it?" She asked.

Ying'er replied: "It's time." ”

"Why didn't you call me?" Xianghua hurriedly got up, "You just stayed up all night?" ”

Ying'er said indifferently: "In the past, it was cold in winter, the quilt was too thin, and there were many times when I didn't close my eyes overnight, so it was nothing." ”

Xianghua looked at her with a smile and a smile. This girl is solid-eyed in these places.

She asked the little maid, "Who called you here?" ”

The little palace maid smiled: "It was the prince of Zhongshun who asked the slave maid to come." Please freshen up and get your reward. ”

Xianghua was inexplicable, but she still quickly freshened up and followed the little palace maid all the way.
