“It’s normal to feel pressured. This time, the responsibility on your shoulders is too heavy. We can only succeed, we cannot fail.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Can’t fail? The competition hadn’t even started yet, so who dared to make such a guarantee?
However, the competition was imminent, so Lin Xiaoyue did not say much. “With you here, we will definitely win!” Suddenly, the Sixth Princess said. His eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded awkwardly.
“I will do my best.”
The Sixth Princess blinked.
“Yes! If you defeat Chu Jin’s envoy, father will definitely reward you.”
“At that time, you will be the greatest contributor. Is there anything you want?” She asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Did he really think so highly of her? The competition hadn’t even started yet, and they were already thinking about what would happen after they won.
“I…The Emperor will give me anything I want?” Lin Xiaoyue asked. She actually had an idea.
What did she want? A death-exemption medal, or 10,000 taels of gold…
Hehe, of course, it was just a thought.
She was going to earn a reputation for herself. How could she let the world think that she was so “tacky”?
“I think so! If you really defeated Chu Jin’s envoy, you would have made a great contribution!” the Sixth Princess replied.
Then, she saw Lin Xiaoyue smiling and carefully pulled Lin Xiaoyue’s arm.
“Hehe, I heard…from Mr. Liang….”
“After the match, you’d write books on arithmetic and promote it to all the academies in the Great Yan?” The Sixth Princess looked at Lin Xiaoyue expectantly.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Seeing the Sixth Princess’ expression, how could she not guess what she was planning?
“Yes… but it hasn’t been confirmed yet.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“First of all, we have to win the competition later. Secondly, we need the support of the imperial court to promote the book to the academy.”
“The Imperial Advisor said that he would bring up the second condition to the
Emperor. However, I don’t know if it will work or not.”
The Sixth Princess’s eyes lit up.
“Of course! Father will definitely agree to it!”
“Again, if you win this time. He could mention it to father at the celebration banquet later! How could he not agree to such a good thing that benefits the country and the people?” She said excitedly.
Lin Xiaoyue pretended to think and nodded.
“You’re right.”
Seeing this, the Sixth Princess became even more excited.
The hand that grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s arm tightened.
“On account of my devotion to the path of arithmetic and my admiration for you. Let me join in the editing!” Then, he said.
“Uh…” Lin Xiaoyue hesitated.
From the two days of interaction, she realized that the Sixth Princess was quite capable.
Her passion for mathematics was indeed something that few could match.
Moreover, the Sixth Princess was of noble status. With her participation, this matter would indeed be much easier.
However, the competition was not over yet. It was too early to talk about this now…
“Aiya, just promise me! As long as you agree, you can arrange for me to do ail the dirty work in the process of editing the book! I have no complaints!” The Sixth Princess said hurriedly.
It was a book that would be distributed to all the academies in Great Yan in the future.
Once the book is published, it will definitely have a huge impact and will even be passed down to future generations.
If she could participate in the editing, she could also leave her name in history!
Throughout the history of the dynasty, how many people could leave their names in history?
Even emperors, generals, and ministers might not have the chance.
As for her, as long as she seized this opportunity, she would have a chance to leave her name in history.
Thinking about it, if people in the future saw that a princess like her had actually participated in the editing of such an important book, they would definitely praise her.
Wasn’t this more famous than those princesses who were married off, or even some emperors who didn’t have outstanding achievements?
Making a name for herself was one thing, but it was impossible to complete the editing of the book in a short period of time.
If she could participate in this process, she would be able to learn from Lin Xiaoyue every day.
There were many things that she could learn.
What if she took a fancy to her and took her as her student? That was another beautiful story…
Yes, she no longer wanted to acknowledge the Imperial Advisor as her master. She was more interested in Lin Xiaoyue.
Although, at her age, it seemed like…she was even younger than her.
However, in the path of mathematics, the one who reached the top was the senior.
Lin Xiaoyue was much more knowledgeable than her, so it was no problem for him to be her master.
“Alright then.” Lin Xiaoyue finally nodded.
“I’ll let you participate if we actually write a book.”
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue was thinking.
Now that she had promised the Sixth Princess, even if Emperor Yan did not agree to promote the book to the whole country, she would still think of a way to make it happen..
