Chapter 910
910 Your Highness, your horse is really well raised
Gu Xin stood there obediently and bowed to the Emperor and Empress Xue, ” “Replying to the Emperor, this official’s daughter has already calculated the answer. It is sixty steps. The cat only needs 60 steps to catch the mouse.”
Everyone from Xing Nan Kingdom was speechless.
Prince Xing Nan pointed at Gu Xin, ” you! Are you just making a wild guess?! Tell me, how did you calculate that?”
Gu Xin looked at the Emperor. Your Majesty, I need a pen and paper. I’m worried that Your Highness won’t be able to understand it.
The emperor’s heart was blooming with joy. He almost understood Gu shouxin’s routine. Good, good, second brother Gu helped him get a warhorse, so he didn’t need to spend money.
However, he still maintained his stern expression and nodded at Gu Xin.
A eunuch came over with a pen and paper.
Gu Xin waved her hands a few times and let the eunuch take it as she started to narrate.
The people from Xing Nan country wanted to refute, but they couldn’t. Although the method used by the daughter of the top scholar was different from the method given by their Xing Nan top scholar, the method used by the daughter was also feasible!
The people of great Zhou could only say, ” as expected of the daughter of the top scholar. I’m impressed.
Li Shan sat beside Madam Xie, her handkerchief almost torn to pieces. She knew the answer. In her previous life, this banquet had disgraced great Zhou, but she did not know the solution. Just as she was thinking of how to avoid saying the solution, the father and daughter of the Gu family beat her to it.
thank you! Gu Xin cupped her fists at Prince Xing Nan, ” thank you for the horse, Your Highness!
Prince Xing Nan looked at Gu Xin angrily, ” “Do you still want more?”
Gu Xin nodded, ” Your Highness, do you have any more questions?”
Prince xingnan said, ” the monkey picked a hundred bananas. His house is fifty meters away from the banana tree. He can only carry fifty bananas at a time. But he has to eat one banana for every meter he walks. May I know how many bananas he can carry back? ” I’ll give you a quarter of an hour to calculate it. If I lose, I’ll give you ten war horses!”
Gu Xin gave Prince Xing Nan a bright smile, ” “Thank you, Your Highness. You’re such a good person! I’ll tell you the answer now. It can only carry 25 bananas back at most. The first time, he carried 50 needles and walked to Xuanji.”
As Gu Xin explained, Prince Xing Nan’s face darkened. He waited for Gu Xin to finish, ” “Little girl, how old are you?”
“Two more months to 13.”
Prince Xing Nan took two steps back, supported by his attendants.
Gu shouxin was embarrassed. Your Highness, my daughter is unruly and doesn’t know how to be humble. In my opinion, Your Highness, you shouldn’t give him a question! I’m worried that His Highness will be so angry that something bad will happen.”
Prince Xing Nan, ” the Emperor continued, ” I see that you don’t look well. I think it’s better not to come up with this question!
“Your Majesty is right!” Prime Minister Huo said. To think that the Enlightenment question of my daughter from the Zhou Dynasty was solved by the top scholar of the South Star region after spending so much time. Tsk, tsk, Your Majesty, stop this farce! If word gets out, it won’t be good for Xing Nan or the great Zhou!”
“Yes, Prime Minister, you are right!” The Emperor nodded.
The prince of Xing Nan immediately became spirited and said,”no!” No! I want to compete with her again! We’re still competing in numbers!”
The Emperor also brought his own princes and officials to persuade them. While persuading, he also squeezed on the others.
Prince Xing Nan was furious. Princess Xing Nan was no longer interested in the beautiful Tan Hua lang, but was sizing Gu Xin up.
In the end, great Zhou’s officials couldn’t persuade Prince Xing Nan and he continued to compete with Gu Xin.
Gu Xin blinked her eyes,’Your Highness, are you still using the warhorse as a bet? I don’t have any hobbies other than horse riding! Your Highness, your family’s horses are very well raised!”
Prince Xing Nan agreed. Ten horses! This time, we’ll win two out of three. If you win, I’ll give you ten more horses!”
