Qiaochu then breathed a sigh of relief.
In the restaurant, another round of surprise and tension suddenly began. It turned out that in a hurry, Qiaochu said, "Wait, I can take off the veil myself, without the help of gentlemen and ladies or even your servants." I don't know, do you three want me to take it off willingly or do you force me to do it like a robber?"
As soon as she said this, the two old men who had been drinking tea in silence like retainers became furious. Yin Ping slammed the table and stood up, sneering, "Robber? If you dare, say another word! I will tear your mouth apart!"
Chun Feng, on the other hand, stopped smiling and became interested. He stared at Qiao Chu and said, "Tell me, what will it take for you to take off your veil? Just name your terms!"
Qiaochu smiled and said word by word: "I am not talented enough. I will ask you a question. You and I will give the answer at the same time. If you can answer the same as mine, or if the people present think that my answer is better than mine, then I will take off the veil without saying anything."

253 The Prince Wants to Divorce His Concubine
-
"On the contrary, if my answer wins by chance and I am not good at drinking, please do not blame me for not drinking this cup, gentlemen and ladies."
If you don't drink, you don't have to lift the veil.
…
At that time, there were not many people eating in the restaurant. They all craned their necks to watch. Many people even stood up and gathered around to watch. Even the shopkeeper, who was handing the four treasures of the study to Qiaochu who was walking to the counter, walked over.
"Everyone should stay where they are, so as not to block the view of the latter. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone."
Qiaochu was writing with his sleeves slightly lifted up when he heard a man's low, smiling voice coming from a 45-degree angle to the side. He immediately looked over and saw the man in white in a good mood, smiling and making a suggestion.
Everyone is happy, happy for you~ mother! It is indeed the dead pig head of the prince, sitting and talking without any back pain.
The prince immediately noticed her gaze, his eyes deepened, and he nodded at him.
Some of the people who were probably officials in the court were surprised to see him. Qiaochu didn't look closely, but he could see clearly. The prince waved his hand, and those people didn't salute. Most of the common people seemed to be intimidated by his hidden aura, and they all returned to their seats, but they all looked up, wanting to see what question she had asked.
Human nature is to be afraid of trouble, which is why no one stopped Chunfeng and the other two just now.
Qiaochu was not to blame, but she twitched her mouth and was speechless about Shangguan Jinghao. It was true that a mean person is invincible. She cursed him in secret before continuing to write.
Chunfeng and the other two looked at the prince. Chunfeng nodded and raised his glass, "Well said, the young master is a wonderful person."
The prince smiled in return.
The air was filled with the scent of ink. Seeing that Chunfeng and others were looking at her, she quickly finished writing, threw the brush away, and immediately handed the paper to Chunfeng. With a slight movement of her wrist, it just covered Cai Ning.
This woman was a tough character, and it would be troublesome if she could figure out something was wrong quickly. Chunfeng was not easy to deal with either, but she was betting on his confusion and immediate reaction.
"Master, it is said that almost no one can figure out this math problem immediately after just one glance..."
Looking at Chunfeng, she smiled faintly. The smile in Chunfeng's eyes froze for a moment, but then he raised his eyebrows and smiled, snatched the paper from her hand, and quickly filled in the answer on it.
He reacted very quickly and his mind seemed extremely sharp. He didn't even look at the question again, and debunked Qiaochu's statement that "it is said that no one can solve this math problem immediately after just one glance."
Instead, Cai Ning suddenly said, "Chunfeng, wait, let me take a look at the question."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qiaochu's face change slightly as he looked at the answer on Chunfeng's paper.
"Don't worry, aunt." Chunfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, thinking that although this woman lost, she still had some intelligence, and he liked her very much. If she was good-looking, it would not be a bad idea to take her as a concubine.
Upon hearing that the winner had been decided, many people stood up at the same time. Even the Crown Prince and Prince Ning, who had been watching the test calmly, stood up to take a look at the questions and answers.
Cai Ning finally felt relieved, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
Qiaochu seemed unwilling to give up. She had been holding the paper in her hand, but suddenly she grabbed the brush and wrote something under Chunfeng's answer.
Yin Ping sneered and said delicately, "You don't know your own limits and are asking for humiliation."
People secretly shook their heads. Seeing that the young master and his companions were all powerful men, the girl should not have fought with them. She would have been the one who suffered. However, since she dared to ask the question, she must have been confident that she could at least stump the young master. Even if he could answer it in the end, it would have earned her some face. But she didn't expect it to be like this.
The Crown Prince and Prince Ning looked at each other. The Crown Prince smiled in his heart, realizing that he had misjudged the person.
Qin Dongning stood on tiptoe, trying to read the questions. She sweated and thought about jumping out to save people at any time. Zong Pu beside her seemed to know what she was thinking. She felt her hand warm and asked him to hold her hand. "Don't go out. If they want to remove the veil, let them do it. Those are important figures in Xixia. If you go out, you will cause trouble for Master Wu."
"This..." Qin Dongning was stunned, gritted her teeth, and had to give up. However, she still had some unwillingness to think that if those people were really too much, and the girl took off her veil and continued to pester her, she would still take action.
She felt the slightly rough feeling on the back of her hand, and her heart warmed. She quietly held Zong Pu's hand, but Zong Pu shook her hand away as if he was afraid of something. Dong Ning's hand hit the corner of the table, and her hand and heart ached as well. She turned her head and saw that Zong Pu's eyes were slightly bent towards Shen Qingling.
Shen Qingling didn't look at the door at this time, as if her attention was also drawn to the atmosphere in the teaching hall.
In fact, Qin Dongning was not the only one who was sweating. Everyone who was watching was looking at Chunfeng and Caining with a keen eye as they glanced at the man with high cheekbones.
The man with high cheekbones took the order and was about to walk towards Qiaochu, but Qiaochu suddenly stepped back, his eyes were a little solemn, and he turned sideways to the man behind him and said, "I would like to ask for an opportunity, and to show fairness, please show this question to a few guests here and see which answer they agree with. The shopkeeper will mark that answer. Let's see which answer has more marks in the end..."
Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, the diners around her rushed forward. The owner of the largest restaurant in Chaoge was a shrewd man. After hearing what Qiaochu said, he was also slightly startled. He pressed down the paper in his hand that was suddenly surrounded by the crowd, and the sound immediately stopped.
“That’s the correct answer…”
"Isn't this obvious?"
The shopkeeper also looked at the paper.
Chunfeng and Caining stood up in doubt... The answer seemed to suddenly lean towards one side. Which answer was it? Yinping frowned and pulled out a long whip from her waist. With the whip, she rolled the paper into her hands amid people's slight surprise. She looked down and her face changed drastically when she looked up, "Brother, is the answer on it yours?"
She spoke in a trembling voice, holding the paper high.
At this moment, not only Chunfeng and Caining, but also the Prince's table not far away, Prince Ning's table and almost everyone who stood up saw the contents and the answer on the paper.
Chunfeng's face changed drastically and he stared at the second answer on the paper in disbelief.
There were many small circles scattered crookedly on it.
mark!
Qiaochu gently relaxed the solemn expression he had been pretending to have, without showing any smugness on his face. He just finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The questions on the paper are actually very simple.
It’s not a new topic.
She played it in modern times.
It is an arithmetic problem and also an IQ problem. It all depends on which answer you agree with.
Paper question: 1=5, 2=25, 3=125, 4=625, 5=
This is an urgent question, suitable for testing instant reaction.
Take a few more glances, and smart people will be able to figure it out immediately if they think carefully.
So, just now when Chunfeng was looking at the question and thinking about it, she deliberately said that it was said that almost no one could solve this math problem immediately after just one glance.
The little provocation worked.
Chunfeng is smart, but also proud. He immediately wrote down the answer: 3125.
And her answer is: 1.
The former calculated according to the rules of numbers, 5 to the power of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, increasing in sequence. 5 to the power of 5 is 3125, while she followed the literal meaning, 1=5, so 5 is naturally equal to 1.
Most of those present are ordinary people. She is dealing with time. Arithmetic in ancient times was far less popular than it is today. Ordinary people don't care whether you are doing squares or square roots. There is no need for such arithmetic for people's livelihood or buying groceries.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir and ladies. I will take my leave now."
She just pretended not to see Chunfeng's expression of shock and anger and Cai Ning's slight sneer, bowed her head and said.
The Crown Prince and Prince Ning also seemed very surprised, and the Crown Prince stared at her several times.
The people were lovable, and immediately burst into cheers.
She was about to turn around and go upstairs when a delicate voice suddenly came from behind her, "That was a bet between you and my brother. I didn't agree to let you go, you idiot. If you don't take off your veil today, you can't leave this restaurant!"
Qiaochu was startled. A strong wind blew past him and he felt a pain on his waist. He realized that he was tightly wrapped by a whip.
It's the silver screen!
She gritted her teeth, slightly panicking, but she heard a cold laugh and a deep shout, "Withdraw!"
Then a scream was heard from Yinping, and crackling sounds came from her body. The whip had broken into pieces and fell to the ground.
She looked in surprise, and saw a young man dressed in the same navy blue as her standing a few steps ahead, with his hands behind his back and a broken whip tightly grasped in his other hand.
——————————
Sorry guys, I have been running around outside today. It was already past nine when I turned on my computer. I was so sleepy that I didn't finish writing until two. I kept you waiting. Around the 15th, I think it's better to read it the next day. I'm sorry.
254 The Prince Wants to Divorce His Concubine
The dark pupils were cold and focused.
He stared coldly at the beauty behind her, but his eyes were fixed on her intently.
Qiaochu breathed a sigh of relief, it was him!
Shangguan Jingcong.
He was so thirsty that he grabbed the whip that Yinping had wrapped around her and tore it apart.
She understood the meaning in his eyes, and he put her at ease.
Every time she needed someone around the most, he was there.
I didn't know whether to laugh or sigh when she received it, but my heart suddenly tightened.
The Crown Prince and Prince Ning are both here. If he comes forward to help her, if her identity is revealed, he will definitely be implicated!
She glanced at the prince quietly, and sure enough, the man frowned slightly, his eyes swept past Prince Ning, and then stared at Prince Xia indifferently.
Prince Ning also looked at Prince Xia thoughtfully.
King Xia seemed to have noticed them earlier. When he saw them looking at him, his eyes moved slightly, but he pretended not to see it.
Yinping walked up quickly, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and she smiled instead of getting angry, "Okay, you flirt~slut, since you dare to help her, I'll see which is harder, your neck or my knife. Pinggui, capture him!"
"Cai Ping, don't move, this man is very skilled in martial arts!"
Qiaochu only heard Chunfeng's low shout, and then, too late, Yinping had already stretched out her hand to grab her shoulder blade fiercely. On the other side, the tall-faced man called Pinggui responded "yes", leaped up, and attacked King Xia. Although she did not know martial arts, she knew that the moves were fierce by looking at the whistling wind they brought.
In panic, she only heard King Xia's cold laugh, and the shadows of people were intertwined. She was startled by a warm feeling on her shoulder, but the force was even a little gentle. When she looked again, the person was in King Xia's arms, and Pinggui had fallen to the ground.
Yin Ping was stunned. She had been pampered since she was a child, and she had never experienced anything like this.
Qiaochu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he whispered, "Master Jiu, that's all."
"No." King Xia uttered the word slowly.
