Prince Wang Lang looked at Li Baiyi's confident look and felt a little weak. Where did he get his confidence?
The test Rong Hua gave him this time was probably more difficult than the literary fight itself. Her purpose was to make Li Baiyi quit in spite of the difficulties.
Even if he was crazy about wanting to be with Ronghua, he wouldn't behave like this, right?
The prince hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Concubine Xi and said, "Concubine, I want to say a few words to Li Baiyi. Please lend me a step to speak."
Concubine Xi glanced at the two of them, nodded, and said: "Okay, I will give you a chance. You can take advantage of this opportunity to get some air."
When the prince heard this, he quickly explained: "Mother and concubine, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I don't know the contents of Ronghua's exam questions at all."
Concubine Xi waved her hand, and the prince then took Li Baiyi and walked behind the screen. Concubine Xi's eyelids twitched and she thought to herself, will something happen?
Your Majesty is behind you. If they discover it, how can you secretly watch the show?
But now it would be even more inexplicable to call them back, so just let them do it.
Concubine Xi looked at Ronghua beside her and said with a smile: "Ronghua, what questions are you going to give to test Li Baiyi? Can you tell me about it?"
Hearing this, Rong Hua shook his head and said, "Mother and concubine, please don't ask about this matter. I will tell you in front of Li Baiyi later."
Concubine Xi looked at her with a look of complaint on her face, "Humph, look at how stingy you are, will I tell that kid about you?"
After saying that, Concubine Xi turned her head, her eyes a little worried. She really wanted to take the opportunity to get some information from Rong Hua, so that she could give him a reminder when the two came out.
However, Ronghua is too strict with himself, so it only depends on Li Baiyi's own ability.
Li Baiyi was pulled behind the screen by the prince. The prince said worriedly: "Baiyi, are you sure? Tell me what your plans are."
Li Baiyi curled his lips and said: "Of course I am sure, but why are you here, the imperial concubine, specifically to make fun of my brother?"
When the prince heard this, his face suddenly became a little sad: "Of course not. Floods in the south caused a large number of victims to flee to the capital. My father asked me to go to the disaster relief."
"But in order to save face in front of the Beiyuan mission, officials like Jing Zhaoyin blocked these victims outside the capital and wanted to mobilize a large army to suppress them."
"In order to raise some food and wages, I came to ask my mother and concubine specially."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"It turns out that this is all, it's up to me, brother. Once the matter of the Beiyuan Mission is resolved this time, I will help you deal with these victims."
The prince was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "Brother, we can't be harsh. The victims of the disaster are also citizens. If their home hadn't been shattered, who would be willing to come to the capital and be displaced?"
Li Baiyi looked at the prince, nodded and said: "Okay, you are a bit public-minded, and you don't know the sufferings of the people."
"The disaster victims have an easier time. We need to give them porridge first so that they don't starve to death or exchange their children for food."
"When the trouble here is over, we can provide work-for-relief, so that these victims have something to do and money to take, and the victims will be safe and sound."
"Don't worry, brother, I'm very capable. This little thing is easy. Is there nothing else? Let's pass the princess's test first."
With that said, Li Baiyi pulled the prince out of the screen, but the two of them didn't know that there was a person standing behind the partition in front of them, it was Dakun Emperor Wang Xuanfeng!
"Work-for-relief means letting the victims work and then giving them food and money, right?"
Wang Xuanfeng pondered: "This is a good idea, but can it really be realized? Does this guy really have a solution or is he just bragging?"
Li Baiyi and the prince came out, but Princess Ronghua couldn't wait any longer; "Li Baiyi, I don't want to waste time with you here. I have two questions for you to listen to."
"One is, a group of dudes are traveling with dogs. There are fifty heads and one hundred and sixty legs in total. How many dudes are traveling and how many dogs are they leading?"
"The other is that on a piece of paper, there are nine square grids in total, and numbers from one to ninety-nine must be placed in them, and it is required that no matter which direction the numbers in the three grids are added, It’s fifteen.”
"Okay, I've finished asking my questions. I'll give you an hour. If you can answer them, you win."
After saying that, Princess Ronghua looked at Concubine Xi and said with a smile, "Concubine, I would like to rest here for a while. I will leave after an hour."
Concubine Xi's eyes dimmed a little at this time, and she nodded and said: "You girl, let alone Li Baiyi, you are asking such a question. Even those great talents may not have the ability."
"Even looking at the entire Dakun, it is estimated that no one can solve these two questions in one hour."
"Go and rest. This test has just begun and is already over."
The prince on the side also sighed. Although he didn't know how to solve these two questions, he had heard the reputation of these two questions. They were absolutely difficult as hell!
Princess Ronghua glanced at Li Baiyi proudly and was about to go into the inner hall to rest, but was stopped by Li Baiyi.
"Your Highness, please don't leave. It only takes me a few sips of water to untie it. If you go to rest and accuse me of cheating again later, I won't be able to defend you."
Princess Ronghua heard this, but her face was ashen and she said: "Okay, since you are so crazy, I want to see how you can answer these two questions with just a drink of water."
Li Baiyi took the brush and began to calculate on the paper. In just a moment, he wrote down the answer.
Then draw nine squares on the side, write five in the middle, and then write one nine, two eight, three seven, four six on both sides of five.
As soon as Concubine Xi took a sip of water, Li Baiyi threw away her brush and said, "Forget it."
"It's too simple. The first question, there are fifty heads, means that the number of people is equal to fifty minus the number of dogs, and the number of dogs is equal to fifty minus the number of people."
"Each person has two legs, and each dog has four legs, so the number of people is doubled, plus fifty minus four times the number of people, which adds up to one hundred and sixty."
"So two hundred minus twice the number of people is one hundred and sixty."
"So there are twenty men and thirty dogs."
"As for the second better answer, line up from one to nine, with numbers the same distance from five standing on the same square as five, and then put five on the middle square, you can ensure that every square The numbers online add up to fifteen, if you don’t believe it, try it.”
As soon as Li Baiyi spoke, several people were already stunned.
