So, Gu Qianxue's letter was not only read by herself, but also by a group of people. After all, he is an educated person. He hasn't read other people's letters and let them analyze the content of the correspondence. He just reads and smiles.
However, the emperor became interested in Su Lingxiao's question, "How to kill boredom? Could it be that Ling Xiaozi is boring?"
Gu Qianxue hurriedly said, "It's too cold at the heights, what Mr. Su said is boring, presumably it's psychological boredom." He hurriedly put an end to the emperor's selfishness, although the emperor might not necessarily find trouble to bother Su Lingxiao narrowly.
The emperor's interest remained undiminished, "How are you going to reply?"
Not to mention the emperor, even everyone was waiting to see Gu Qianxue's reply. Compared with the unpredictable Ling Xiaozi, the fourteen-year-old girl in front of her was even more unpredictable.
Gu Qianxue thought about it carefully, then came up with an idea, took a pen and paper, and wrote an Arabic numeral question on it—"1234=0, 2345=0, 3456=1, 5678=3, 7890=4, 6890=5 , 8887=6. Question: What is 6678 equal to?"
This completely puzzled the emperor and others, "Qianxue, what do these symbols you wrote mean, why can't I understand them?"
Ever since Gu Qianxue felt relieved by pushing all doubts and unsolved problems to Su Lingxiao, now whenever she encounters something who is too lazy to make up a story, she directly pushes it to the innocent Su Lingxiao. "My Majesty, these symbols are numbers, and they were taught to me by Mr. Su." Immediately afterwards, he briefly explained the Arabic numerals and the methods of addition, subtraction, and multiplication to everyone.
Everyone has also learned mathematics, but the numbers in Nanyue Kingdom are also represented by words instead of symbols. The simple addition and subtraction can be calculated by mouth, and the others can be calculated by abacus.
"Even if the result is obtained through unknown addition, subtraction and multiplication in the middle of these numbers, and finally finds the pattern, the result of the last formula is obtained?" The emperor held the paper and began to calculate quickly in his mind.
"Back to the emperor, Qianxue can't say anything. If she did, this question would be meaningless," Gu Qianxue said, "It doesn't matter how you calculate it, it's important to pass the boring time. Are you right?"
The emperor laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, it's important to pass the time." After laughing, his eyes rolled twice, "However, I still want to know the final result."
"..." Helpless, he is the emperor, he is the boss, Gu Qianxue can only say, "Okay, then Qianxue will tell the emperor."
"No, no, no, I won't listen. I want to try. Is it I who will figure it out first, or Ling Xiaozi will figure it out first." The emperor's face was full of excitement.
Gu Qianxue chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" The emperor thought Gu Qianxue was laughing at him.
Gu Qianxue quickly restrained her smile, "Back to the emperor, Qian Xue smiled because... I think the emperor is not fifty years old, but fifteen years old, so competitive, but full of vitality."
"Really?" asked the emperor.
Gu Qianxue nodded sincerely, "Really."
The emperor's face was delighted, and the queen said, "Yes, why are you as stubborn as a young man, Your Majesty?"
At this time, no matter how wise and powerful the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom is, how powerful he is, it is not as useful as talking about youth and vitality, because the emperor's greatest wish at this time is to be young and live a long life.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, everyone chatted about this topic for a while, and the room was full of laughter, but Gu Qianxue did not participate.
She watched the empress and concubine Qin carefully praising the emperor and secretly competing with each other, feeling tired. I really don't understand why these two women who want to be beautiful and talented choose to compete with her for a man. But then he couldn't help sighing—even if he knew there was no way back, so what, how easy is it to find a man who really wants to marry only one wife? If it is true that you will never marry for life, how big is your predicament
As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at the four words that were calm, indifferent and smooth on the paper, and his mind started to work quickly.
No name.
Su Lingxiao slept for almost a day, and when he woke up, it was completely dark.
Not far from the head of his bed is a small root carving stand with a unique posture, and a dim and elegant lamp is placed on the shelf, emitting light yellow candlelight faintly. Because of the color of the candlelight, the room full of medicinal smell is less sad and desolate, and it is extremely peaceful and leisurely.
Seeing that Su Lingxiao opened his eyes, Chu Yan, who was standing by, quickly poured a small bowl of herbal soup that had been warmed for a long time to quench his master's thirst.
But just as Chu Yan handed over the soup bowl, Su Lingxiao said, "Did you reply?" His weak voice was mixed with anxiety.
Chu Yan felt sore, "I'm back, young master wait a moment." Saying that, he hurriedly put the herbal soup on the table, and brought the envelope lying quietly on the other side.
Su Lingxiao took the letter and couldn't wait to open the envelope, but saw that there were no Chinese characters on the paper, and his anticipation was suddenly empty, although there was a strange title on the paper.
If it was in the past, when Su Lingxiao saw this kind of question, he would definitely start to study it eagerly, but he doesn't know when, this kind of novelty can no longer occupy his whole heart.
Chu Yan found the young master's downcast expression, thinking that the strange symbols on the paper represented something, and secretly hated it. If there is anyone she hates the most, there is no other person except Gu Qianxue! As long as the young lord is not a fool, he can tell the difference between Gu Qianxue and others. If Gu Qianxue is really interested in the young master, it is convenient for the young master to be together, not to mention the glory and wealth, but the young master's financial resources and power, even if Gu Qianxue squanders his life, he will not be able to squander it all. But if Gu Qianxue has no intentions of the young master, then don't provoke her, what is this
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Chu Yan secretly gritted her teeth, and swore in her heart that if the young master had any troubles because of Gu Qianxue, she would definitely kill Gu Qianxue! Not only did she want to kill Gu Qianxue, but she would not let go of the entire Gu family and King Li!
Su Lingxiao found that his mind was out of control, so he quickly straightened his mind with reason, and began to delve into the topic.
"1234=0, 2345=0, 3456=1, 5678=3, 7890=4, 6890=5, 8887=6. What does this represent? Are there any rules?" Muttering to himself.
Chu Yan whispered, "Young master, you haven't eaten properly for two days, my servant begs you to eat some, okay?" She begged bitterly.
But he didn't know whether he was holding the letterhead written by Gu Qianxue himself or because of the unique title, Su Lingxiao only felt that his mood had been resigned, so he nodded, "Okay, let's pass on the meal."
Chu Yan was overjoyed, and hurried down, ordered the cooks waiting in the kitchen to light up the fire quickly, and cooked dozens of delicacies from various countries for Su Lingxiao to choose and eat.
At the same time, another place.
Because of Su Lingxiao's guidance, Gu Qianxue suddenly became interested.
After dinner, Gu Qianxue deliberately dressed up, called Xiangju and Xiangqi, and ran to visit with two court ladies. And what he went to was nowhere else, but the Queen's Weiyang Palace.
