When only Biyao was left in the room, Qing Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and with the help of Biyao, he took off the phoenix crown, went to the heavy hairpin, and only inserted a purple jade phoenix flower in his hair.

Baguio looked at it, and said in disbelief, "Princess, it's not easy to comb the cloud bun."

Qing Chen looked forward with bright eyes, straightened the hair hanging in front of him, turned his head and said with a smile: "The fall made people's neck sore, so please forgive me."

Bi Yao straightened her hair with a jade comb, pursed her lips and said: "This is the rule, we can't be too plain today, not to mention that the princess has become a princess, so she has to tie her hair, how can it be untied like this."

While speaking, he gently held Qing Chen's long hair in his hands, and picked out a pair of butterfly wings from the mirror, wearing a flower bud, and matched them with jade fine tins, and said firmly: "It can't be less!"

A shadow with beautiful makeup is reflected in the bronze mirror, and the trembling butterfly beards on the Bu Sha are flowing down spontaneously, with a unique charm and charming charm. Qing Chen had no choice but to obey her and said with a smile: "You know the rules of the wedding ceremony better than I do, so tell me quickly, have you thought about getting married a long time ago?"

Bi Yao's pretty face flushed: "I'm afraid I missed something today, and the princess will come and make fun of me!"

Qing Chen let her go with a smile, got up and looked at the new house, but saw a Ruiyu crystal plant and a three-star butterfly with fallen leaves standing by the window. Zhengmei, it's hard for him to remember, chose to put it in the new house."

Baguio said with an "Aiya" voice: "The princess didn't see that Luanyu with her own eyes, but she was all dressed up in orchids. The streets are filled with colorful butterflies, it's really too beautiful to behold."

Qing Chen asked: "What was it like outside just now? I can't see anything on Luan Yu."

Baguio helped her change the heavy wedding dress into a water-red tribute silk dress with light flowing clouds, and kept telling her about the scenes she saw on the road. When Qing Chen heard that the people in Tiandu, Pingli, Huailuan and other places spread red silk on the ground, he was slightly stunned. I didn't expect such a return in the fight against the epidemic and disaster relief that day, but unexpectedly, the people remembered it in their hearts.

When Bi Yao talked about entering the palace, "I entered the main hall later, the princess knows it all, so I don't need to say it?"

Qing Chen inevitably thought of Ye Tianzhan's glass of wine just now, stood still and looked out of the window for a while, and said, "Biyao, go to the front hall and whisper a word to His Highness the Twelfth Prince, so that he will be happy today no matter what. Send His Highness the Seventh Highness back to Huailuan in the evening." Even so, if the Heavenly Emperor really wanted to investigate, it would be enough to atone for the crime.

Baguio was packing up her wedding clothes, and she said dissatisfiedly, "Your Majesty the Seventh Prince..."

Qing Chen shook his head slightly, Bi Yao pursed his lips, and later sighed softly: "Actually, His Highness the Seventh Highness is also infatuated with the Princess, and they said at the time that the Princess is going to marry His Highness Seventh."

"Don't mention this again in the future." Qing Chen said lightly, she couldn't violate her own heart, just like he couldn't suppress his heart. She could understand his state of mind, but she couldn't give him anything.

Baguio then went to the front hall, as soon as she left, there was soft laughter from outside the door, it turned out that it was Su Niang and Ming Yan who came to the new house.

After congratulating Qing Chen, Su Niang said: "There is a small wedding banquet in Tianji Mansion, and we are waiting to celebrate the wedding ceremony between Lord Feng and Your Highness. Since Your Highness can't leave in the front hall, everyone asked us to invite Lord Phoenix. I don't know Lord Phoenix. Are you willing to go?"

Qing Chen said with a smile: "If you have a heart, how can I disappoint you?" While talking, seeing Ming Yan standing indifferently as always, looking at the new house with a somewhat complicated expression, when his eyes fell on her, he immediately avoided it , as if hiding from the dazzling red makeup.

Qing Chen glanced at Mingyan, then walked towards Tianji Mansion. As a woman, how could she not see Mingyan's affection for Ye Tianling? It's just that everything can be given up, but he is the only one who can only belong to himself, and he is the only one in this life.

In the Tianji Mansion, apart from Mo Buping, the Sword Guardian of the Seven Palaces, Lu Qian and Du Junshu are all there, and there are a few people who have not seen before, Nan Gongjing, Xia Bufeng, Tang Chu, and Shi Zhonghou are all powerful generals under Ye Tianling. There are also Si Weiyun who is good at managing river engineering and water conservancy, Zhou Juan who is familiar with classics and books, and Zuo Yuansun, a middle-aged Confucian scholar. Qing Chen heard Zuo Yuansun's name familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

Si Weiyun was arguing with Lu Qian about something, and Zuo Yuansun was also watching. When they saw the new princess, everyone dropped the topic and came to celebrate.

Qing Chen knew that Ye Tianling's confidants could be here, so he didn't feel restrained, and asked with a smile: "Looking at Lu Qian's frowning face, what are you talking about?"

Lu Qian shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Si just talked about water conservancy, and he gave a few calculation problems, but I can't solve them." He said to Si Weiyun, "Today is a happy day, and I will discuss it with you another day."

Qing Chen glanced at their cost-effective questions unintentionally, and saw a "River Control Diagram" in the form of mathematics, another one was "Two Cups and Ten Chopsticks", and the other was Dayan Qiuyi Technique, and said casually: "Lu Qian, he This is a trick for you, the last two problems are easy to solve, but the first problem is to calculate the amount of land and rocks for water control in the river. It may take more than a month to solve it, who can solve it right now?"

"Princess also knows how to count?" Si Weiyun was obsessed with counting, so he became interested immediately.

Qing Chen shook his head: "I just know a thing or two about it. I have seen this map of river governance in the books of the sages before."

"I ask the princess how to explain the calculation of these two cups and ten chopsticks?" Lu Qian's essays are outstanding in the world, but he is not sophisticated in numerology.

The so-called double-cup ten chopsticks calculation is the conversion of binary and decimal in later generations of mathematics. Qing Chen was good at mathematics before, and because he was interested, he often studied these strange arithmetics in the palace to relieve boredom, so he wrote down a few calculation formulas to solve the problems. Although Si Weiyun knew the solution to the problem long ago, he had never seen such a concise and simple algorithm. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed: "Wonderful solution! Wonderful solution! But what about this river control map?"

Qing Chen thought about it for a while: "This needs to be deduced using the method of deduction. Although it is not incomprehensible, it will take a lot of time, and it cannot be solved now."

Si Weiyun has been calculating this question for many days, and he also knows that it is very complicated, so he bowed at once and said: "I will ask the princess for advice another day."

Qing Chen said with a smile: "I'm just getting a glimpse of the way, so I can't talk about asking for advice." Seeing that Si Weiyun likes to study and count, he said: "I saw an interesting question a while ago. If you are interested, you might as well study it." After finishing speaking, he listed a Tianyuan calculation problem on the paper, and as soon as the problem came out, Zuo Yuansun beside him couldn't help but said: "The solution of the twenty-eight constellations?"

Qing Chen was secretly surprised that she had read this question in a copy of the "Nine Weeks Sutra" in the collection of Lan Pavilion in the palace, how could Zuo Yuansun know about it? A sudden flash in my mind: "That's right! There is a chapter attached to the "Nine Weeks of Calculation", which presents a sequence of problems solved by the twenty-eight constellations, but Mr. Zuo's handwriting?"

This "Nine Weeks Sutra" was originally a collection of books in the mansion of King Rui, the younger brother of Shengshang. In the 19th year of Shengwu, King Rui was convicted and exiled to Kezhou and died on the way. After the mansion was confiscated, most of the books in the collection flowed into the palace. Zuo Yuansun was the chief staff member of King Rui's Mansion back then, and was known as a military think tank. King Rui was imprisoned for three years because of the incident, and then he disappeared.

Zuo Yuansun looked at the twenty-eight stars Zhou Tianjie with lowered eyes, his face moved slightly: "It was written on a whim many years ago, I don't want the princess to know about it."

Qing Chen took several ivory silver chopsticks, each representing a thousand elite soldiers, and listed the formation on the table: "I am very curious about the formation, but there are some things that I don't understand, please enlighten me sir."

Nangong Jing and the others are all generals who lead troops, and they have done a lot of research on formations, so they gathered around to have a look.

After Zuo Yuansun's short-term surprise, he was still calm and composed. He wore a long shirt with a few strands of white hair on his temples. He stood with a calm confidence all over his body. He stood by the table, "Please tell me, princess." The silver chopsticks moved.

Seeing him move, Qing Chen looked intently, and sighed after a while: "Mr. Zuo's three silver chopsticks have made up for what I want to ask."

"Oh?" Zuo Yuansun couldn't help looking at her: "Wangfei wanted to ask how many parts of the formation can be solved?"

"Exactly." Qing Chen said: "Although the previous formation was exquisite, there were a few points that could be broken, but now I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to break the formation." The ivory chopsticks were held in the hands, and they seemed to be placed casually.

Zuo Yuansun remained silent, moved the original silver chopsticks with his fingers, and the formation suddenly changed. Qing Chen twitched his brows lightly, and immediately withdrew the two chopsticks.

Zuo Yuansun Daosheng: "Wonderful!" His hands moved again, and the circle formed by the silver chopsticks suddenly cracked, resembling a crane's wings. But Qing Chen didn't think it was confusing. If he used the crane wing formation to break through the trick of luring the enemy, the whole army would be wiped out.

The soldiers and horses of the golden chopsticks are closely connected, arranged in the shape of eight trigrams, but there is a hidden edge. Zuo Yuansun nodded slightly, and the formation returned to a perfect circle, immediately trapping the golden chopsticks in it.

Qing Chen thought for a moment, and made sure to deal with all changes without change, but after a few moments, two groups of soldiers and horses suddenly went to kill Xunmen in Zuo Yuansun's formation. This is where Zuo Yuansun's commander-in-chief is hidden. With a twitch of his mouth, he joined the formation and formed a sharp momentum. Everyone was dazzled by the sight, as if this small wooden table had turned into a battlefield, and Chen Bingjue The light of the saber and the shadow of the sword are thrilling for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Qing Chen suddenly tapped the table with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "It can't be done, with this force, we can only protect ourselves. It is difficult to break the formation, so I admit defeat!"

Zuo Yuansun raised his head, and there was some emotion in his words: "The concubine will be forced hard!"

Qing Chen looked at the table full of chopsticks and chopsticks, shook his head and said, "It's my master's promise. How could the enemy treat me like this in the battlefield? Sir, since this formation comes from the twenty-eight constellation Zhou Tianjie, please don't wait for me." After solving a few questions about astrology, Mr. Gao Ming will ask Mr. Gao Ming again."

Zuo Yuansun chuckled, and there was a bit of heartiness in his smile, vaguely revealing the pride of galloping as a soldier. Xia Bufeng came back from the formation at this time, and sighed: "I don't think a single arithmetic operation can be transformed into such a formation, today I really saw something miraculous!"

"The number of days is self-contained with things. Does General Xia know that the knowledge of how to count soldiers is hidden in this calculation problem?" Qing Chen asked with a smile.

"Appreciate further details!"

"Da Yan seeks a technique: there are things today that I don't know how to count. Two is left when counting three or three, three is left when counting five or five, and two is left when counting seven or seven. Ask the geometry?" Qing Chen repeated the calculation problem, and then spread the paper Moisturizing the ink, the pen is like a dragon and a snake, and he wrote while writing: "A three-year-old child is seventy years old, five years old and twenty-one things are especially strange, seven degrees of Shangyuan reunion, cold food and Qingming can be known. Solve the formula according to this, and order the soldiers. At that time, if the pawns were arranged in formations of three, three, five, five, and seven or seven, the total number of troops could be reversed by observing the formation silently, and it was known instantly."

Du Junshu didn't understand the art of war, so he just read the characters and praised: "I don't think the princess writes a good cursive hand. If it is more sharp, it will be exactly the same as the Fourth Highness."

Qing Chen put down his pen with a smile: "I learned this word from him at the beginning." While explaining the way of fighting in detail to Xia Bufeng and others.

The principle sounds simple, but it is difficult and difficult to use. It requires superb mental arithmetic. Among the few people, Si Weiyun, who has never led a soldier but is proficient in arithmetic, can do it with repeated pushes.

After a while, Nangong Jing also entered his way. After demonstrating it several times, he said excitedly: "It's really amazing, soldiers are expensive and fast, this method of recruiting soldiers is very effective, you should study it carefully!"

"What is Nangong yelling about?" Just as he finished speaking, Ye Tianling's steady voice came from the hall. Everyone raised their heads from one place, only to realize that they were so focused that they didn't even know that Ye Tianling was coming.

On the other hand, Mingyan was staring outside in a daze, and was the first to see Ye Tianling coming in, so he called out "Your Highness". Ye Tianling nodded, his eyes seemed to be sprinkled with a piece of clear sky stars, with a slight lift, all the starlight fell on Qing Chen's body, and the corner of his mouth smiled lightly.
