The first person to be shocked was Princess Ronghua. She had been obsessed with this kind of arithmetic before she came here. However, she racked her brains and couldn't figure out a way to solve these two problems. She could only use the stupidest method to count one. Put them in and try and make mistakes.
However, with this method, it would take at least half a day to find the answer to each question. Because of this, Princess Ronghua gave Li Baiyi a limited time and asked him to solve two difficult problems in one hour.
However, Li Baiyi actually solved the problem in just the time it took him to drink water!
Li Baiyi spoke in as much detail as possible, explaining every step of the calculation for the first question. Even people who have never been exposed to this question will suddenly understand after hearing the steps to answer it, let alone Princess Ronghua. and others, they have all been exposed to these two topics more or less.
Therefore, Princess Ronghua was immediately sure that Li Baiyi's method could definitely calculate the answer.
Moreover, Li Baiyi's answer is indeed correct.
"You actually figured it out?"
The prince listened to what Li Baiyi said as if he were listening to a book from heaven, but judging from Ronghua's reaction, it seemed that he was indeed right. This boy can do it!
Before, Li Baiyi said that he would help him with disaster relief, but he didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that he should seriously consider Li Baiyi's opinion.
When did this kid become so awesome? Ronghua himself was very accomplished in arithmetic, but he was overpowered by this kid!
Wang Xuanfeng, who was hiding behind the screen, looked extremely shocked. It was so weird that this kid solved these two questions so quickly.
Which of these two problems didn't take the top talent at Dakun that didn't take two hours to solve?
Did this kid suddenly become enlightened? No wonder this boy dared to take over Wen Dou from the Beiyuan Mission. This boy was not crazy, he was serious!
As for Concubine Xi, she was naturally the more shocked one. This topic was collected by the Dakun royal family. Concubine Xi had known it before, so she knew the answer, but these were top secrets of the Dakun royal family.
How did this kid calculate it so quickly? Could it be that he had spied on royal secrets?
Concubine Xi looked between the prince and Li Baiyi. Thinking of the person behind the screen, she naturally couldn't pretend not to know, and her face immediately became serious.
"Li Baiyi, how did you calculate this question? Did you spy on the secrets of the royal family? Prince, please explain to me."
The prince immediately froze there and looked at Li Baiyi, not knowing what to say.
Li Baiyi said quickly, "Of course not, the imperial concubine. Moreover, my solutions are all written on paper. I think they are different from those of the great talents in Dakun. There is no possibility of plagiarism."
Concubine Xi nodded, her face turning from gloomy to bright: "It's true that you figured out these two questions. I declare that you won this test."
Li Baiyi's face suddenly showed joy, he looked at Princess Ronghua who was standing not far from Concubine Xi, and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, am I now qualified to participate in the civil war with the Beiyuan Mission?"
Hearing this, Princess Ronghua clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "If you are qualified, you will be lucky this time."
With that said, Princess Ronghua said hello to Concubine Xi, turned around and wanted to leave, but was directly stopped by Li Baiyi.
"Your Highness, how could you just leave like this? You haven't fulfilled your promise yet."
When Princess Ronghua heard this, her face suddenly became very ugly, and she turned around and said, "I, you come here."
Li Baiyi walked over with a smile. Ronghua took a deep breath, kissed him gently on the cheek, and then ran away quickly.
After Princess Ronghua left, Concubine Xi looked at Li Baiyi and said with a smile: "You are facing the Beiyuan delegation this time. Do you need any help?"
"Before the Beiyuan Mission officially engages you, let's talk quickly so that we don't have to improvise."
Li Baiyi nodded and said: "Of course, Madam, I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to preside over this literary battle."
Concubine Xi was stunned when she heard this, and then realized Li Baiyi's intention. She couldn't help but look at the prince beside her and smiled.
"Prince, you decide this matter."
The prince was also a little surprised. He was a little surprised. Why didn't Li Baiyi say anything behind the screen just now?
After thinking about it, he understood that Li Baiyi was afraid that he would refuse if he didn't see his amazing performance, so he brought it up at this time, right?
"My son is willing to go to war for Dakun, which is what our younger generation should do as a matter of course."
"Besides, this isn't an expedition, it's just hosting a literary fight."
"I believe Li Baiyi can win."
Mr. Xi nodded and said: "In that case, then, you two will participate in this literary fight together."
Li Baiyi and the prince immediately said respectfully: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, since the assessment has ended, can I go back? I still have something to do. I hope you will grant me your permission."
Concubine Xi pointed outside and said, "You two, please stand outside for an hour. You can only leave after I let you leave."
Upon hearing this, Li Baiyi immediately realized that Concubine Xi was trying to make him lose his skin!
"Mother and concubine, why do I have to go out and stand for punishment?"
Concubine Xi looked at the prince and said sharply: "Do you want me to say it a second time?"
Hearing this, the prince quickly shook his head and trembled, saying.
"I don't dare."
The two of them walked out of the hall together and stood not too far apart in the scorching courtyard outside.
The prince said with a complaining look on his face: "It's all your fault, kid. I'm here to suffer with you."
Li Baiyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness, please don't take advantage of me. This time I beat Bei Yuan, and your reputation will be greatly enhanced. Those princes who want to compete with you will have to work harder." ”
When the prince heard this, his face suddenly showed joy: "That's right, by the way, why are you so awesome? You haven't even explained it to me yet."
Li Baiyi closed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, let's talk about it later. Anyway, you can't take care of the disaster relief in the past two days. If you say it, it will be in vain."
After the two princes walked out of the hall, Concubine Xi quickly helped Wang Xuanfeng out: "Your Majesty, you have been standing for a long time. Are you not tired?"
Wang Xuanfeng waved his hand, picked up a cup of tea and drank a swig: "I'm not tired, I'm just a little thirsty. This kid is really beyond my expectation. It seems that this kid is hiding very deep."
Concubine Xi bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for acquiring such a great talent. He will play an important role in the court in the future and will be a great help to Your Majesty."
Wang Xuanfeng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "That's not necessarily true. It's hard to say whether this kid just had a whim or suddenly realized it. But at least I have the possibility to touch those old things."
