And every time he learned the answer, he felt enlightened.
Especially the last question.
When he saw that the question that Yan also gave the nine-square question, and it was even more difficult than the question left by his teacher, Xu Yan once again felt his insignificance.
“Today, I learned something new!” After getting the answer to the last question, Xu Yan sighed and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Elder Xu, you’re being too humble.”
“Your magnanimity is truly admirable.” Lin Xiaoyue returned the greeting.
This person was really good at and obsessed with arithmetic.
Otherwise, there was no need to continue answering the questions when he knew that he had already lost.
The more he tried, the more he could not answer.
It would only make him lose face.
Xu Yan glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and finally smiled.
Then, he looked at Liu Wuji.
Then, he bowed to Emperor Yan.
“Your Majesty has such a talent. The Great Yan is blessed.” He said.
“This time, I admit defeat wholeheartedly,” Xu Yan said before Emperor Yan could reply.
“Since the Great Yan has won, Chu Jin will reduce the conditions of the previous peace negotiations by thirty percent.”
Everyone in the hall was filled with joy.
Even Emperor Yan, who had not smiled much in the afternoon, finally smiled.
“Thank you, Mr. Xu. Please take a seat.” Emperor Yan said.
Xu Yan refused.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but it’s not necessary.”
“I am not feeling well, so I’ll take my leave. Tomorrow, I will enter the palace and sign a new letter of credence with the envoy of your country.”
Emperor Yan did not ask him to stay and instructed someone to send Xu Yan and the others off.
Lin Xiaoyue saw the old man walk out of the palace with his back straight.
After Xu Yan left, the hall immediately became noisy.
It was the sound of celebration.
Just like in the morning, many people congratulated Lin Xiaoyue and raised their glasses to her.
Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile, but for some reason, her mind kept replaying Xu Yan’s back view.
In the evening, Lin Xiaoyue, as the biggest contributor to the peace talks between the three countries, was asked to attend the banquet in the palace.
Moreover, because of the Sixth Princess, she accidentally drank too much.
When they returned to the Imperial Advisor’s residence, Zhao Shanshan helped them back to the plum garden.
Lin Xiaoyue sobered up as soon as she lay on the bed.
Li Xiao had gone to Prince Anyang’s place, so she had to sleep alone tonight.
Moreover, she would not be able to see him for a long time.
The next day.
When Lin Xiaoyue woke up, it was already late in the morning.
After waking up, she realized that the time was not right, so Lin Xiaoyue quickly called for help.
Zhao Shanshan ran into the inner room anxiously.
“Yes, Miss!” She quickly went forward to help Lin Xiaoyue.
Seeing Zhao Shanshan, Lin Xiaoyue regained her senses.
After checking the time in her interspatial ring, she leaned on Zhao Shanshan’s shoulder.
“Is the city gate open?”
At this time, if everything went smoothly, Li Xiao would have already left the city with Prince Anyang.
“Yes.” Zhao Shanshan replied.
She knew why she was acting so strangely.
“That’s good…” She felt relieved.
She had some bad dreams last night and was worried that something would happen.
Now that she was sure that they were fine, that was good.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyue got up.
“I’m hungry…” Then, she looked at Zhao Shanshan pitifully.
” Pfft!” Zhao Shanshan burst out laughing.
“I know you want to eat something when you wake up. The food is warm on the kitchen stove.”
“Get up first. I’ll get Fan Teng to bring the food over.”
Before Master left, he repeatedly reminded me to take good care of you.
She and Fan Teng were both aware.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue got off the bed.
Zhao Shanshan went out to look for Fan Teng.
After a while, she returned after giving orders to Fan Teng who was in the courtyard.
She helped Lin Xiaoyue wash up.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyue had a hot meal.
With something in her stomach, she felt much better.
Lin Xiaoyue then asked about the others.
“Last night, other than the Imperial Residence, all of you were drunk.”
“This morning, only the Bamboo Garden has breakfast at normal hours.” Zhao Shanshan laughed.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
As long as she wasn’t the only one lazing in bed.
“The Imperial Advisor said that you all worked hard yesterday. It’s a holiday today, so he told the servants not to disturb you.”
“He is right.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
Zhao Shanshan was even more amused.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhao Shanshan. She didn’t mind being laughed at. She mumbled, “it’s the holidays. What are you doing?”
Just as Zhao Shanshan was about to reply, there was a knock on the door.
“Master…” The Sixth Princess’s voice sounded from the door..
