Chapter 105 Palace Banquet 4



To everyone's surprise, this skinny and weak-looking little guy, whose hands could be cut by the bowstring, was not inferior to Yaruo at all and also hit the target's heart and eyes.

only……

"If we were facing a powerful enemy, we would have been chopped down several times by the enemy if we were so slow!" Yaruo looked at Su Bei with contempt.

Su Bei did not argue, but turned to Chu Yan, bowed respectfully and said: "Sorry, I lost this game."

She was not used to using a bow, and her body was more fragile than before. To be able to achieve such a result was already an extraordinary performance.

Chu Yan said calmly: "In this last round, you must do your best."

Su Bei agreed solemnly, then turned around and said, "For the third round, I choose magic!"

The so-called art is mathematics, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which even primary school students know.

Yaruo panicked. She thought Su Bei would choose music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't expect him to choose such an unconventional one! Chi Man immediately stood up and said, "Didn't we agree to compete in music, chess, calligraphy, poetry, wine, flowers and tea? Why did you choose divination again?!"

Before Su Bei could speak, Chu Younan's eyes met his and he said loudly, "The archery just now and the numerology now are both considered the Six Arts, so why not?"

Chi Man sat back angrily, but Ya Ruo smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, my royal brother. I am not good at this art, but compared to an ordinary servant, I am not much worse!"

Above the main hall, there are two desks, on which are written numerology questions written by the Grand Secretaries of the Hanlin Academy, ten questions per person.

As soon as he arrived at the table, Su Bei became a little panicked.

She had no problem with arithmetic, but the problem was that the words on it were not the Arabic numerals she was familiar with.

"When the gong sounds, the one who answers first wins!" After Eunuch Wang said this, he picked up a small gong and struck it.

Su Bei quickly picked up the pen, converted the equation into Arabic numerals as quickly as possible, and then wrote down the answer quickly.

When she finished writing all the answers, Yaruo still had nearly half of the answers to be calculated, but Su Bei's work was not over yet. She had to convert the Arabic numerals into uppercase numbers to give a perfect answer.

When Su Bei finished answering all the questions and put down his pen, he heard Ya Ruo put down the pen heavily and said loudly: "I've finished answering!"

Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief. This game was a draw and there was still a chance.

Seeing that this girl was not as strong as he thought, Chi Man was a little nervous and stood up and said, "This round is a draw. Let Yaruo choose the next round!"

Chu Younan's eyes immediately showed some worry. Su Bei chose chess and numerology first, which meant that her other aspects were worse than these and she was likely to lose.

If she lost, she would not be free, which was what he was happy to see. But when he turned around and looked at Princess Mu Hui, whose eyes were wide open like a deer, he did not want Su Bei to lose.

Marrying Chi Man means death!

Su Bei exhaled and looked at Yaruo quietly. After a moment, she heard Chu Yan say, "It should be so."

Yaruo raised the corners of her lips proudly, pointed at the wine pot on the table and said, "I want to compete with her in drinking! Whoever drinks faster wins!"

Are you kidding me? The first thing she drank after landing was not milk, but wine. When it comes to drinking, which woman in the Central Plains can compare to her?! Su Bei was a little nervous. She used to drink wine, but she didn't know how it would affect her body. What if she was allergic to alcohol? That would be terrible!

But the emperor's words were spoken, so she had no choice but to obey.

Soon, two tables were placed in the hall again, with five white jade pots and an exquisite jade cup on each table, and under the table was a wine jar full of wine.

Chu Younan clenched his fists. Su Bei had never drunk alcohol since she came into the mansion, so he didn't know how much she could drink. This drinking contest was a real test.

"Then get ready..." Eunuch Wang stood in front and gave orders.

Su Bei waved his hand, "Wait a minute!"

Chi Man saw it and immediately burst into laughter. "If you can't drink, just admit defeat. Drinking the wrong wine can kill you! You are so young and beautiful, it would be a pity if you died!"

Yaruo also echoed, "Don't forget that we Gaoliu people all grew up drinking. If you are afraid, just admit defeat as soon as possible and get under my crotch. I will not bother with you!"

Su Bei smiled at Eunuch Wang and said, "Please change to a larger bowl. It's too troublesome to pour wine into such a small cup."

Eunuch Wang was startled, then realized that Su Bei should be able to drink, and immediately responded: "Okay, okay! Someone, go get a big bowl!"

After hearing this, Yaruo also said, "Change it to a bigger bowl for this princess!"

The young eunuch ran over, and soon, three large bowls were placed on the table for each person. Yaruo called the servant behind her and said, "Come! Pour wine for this princess!"

Su Bei had no one to call, and just as she was picking up the white jade wine pot, she saw Chu Younan step forward and said, "I'll pour you some wine!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Prince Su is pouring wine for a servant? Is he in a hurry? Can he win this way?"

"This game is related to the princess's marriage, and also to Prince Su's reputation in front of His Majesty, so he is naturally nervous!"

"Oh! What should I do if I lose?"

Amid the discussion, only one person remained calm, and that was Chu Younan's mother, Imperial Concubine Yao. She had met Su Bei before, so she knew Su Bei's identity. Seeing Chu Younan's performance, she naturally knew that her son was not just because of the competition.

His expression looked very much like the one when he mentioned Mo Qingying. It was just that he didn't know why Mo Qingying suddenly became seriously ill, and Chu Younan didn't even look worried at all.

Su Bei in the hall saw him coming, but did not refuse. Instead, he whispered a few words. Then the two of them looked at each other, and there seemed to be surprise in Chu Younan's eyes.

Yaruo disagreed. She watched her servant fill three bowls of wine and then pour it into the jade pot with a wine ladle. She curled the corners of her lips in disdain.

When Eunuch Wang saw that everything was almost ready, he said, "Let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gong sounded.

Princess Yaruo picked up the wine bowl and gulped it down. She was waiting to finish her own bowl first and then give Su Bei a warning. However, she was shocked as soon as she put down the wine bowl...

Su Bei and Chu Younan did not pour the wine into the bowl, but poured the wine in the white jade pot back into the wine jar.

Is this guy being stupid?!

Before Princess Yaruo could figure out what was going on, she saw Su Bei take a horse stance and then raise the jar of wine.

She actually wanted to drink directly from the jar? !

Yaruo panicked immediately and shouted to the servant who was pouring wine: "Stop pouring! This princess wants to drink from the jar too!"

So she also took a horse stance and picked up the jar of wine.

Su Bei ignored him and just calmly gulped down the wine. Chu Younan heard her muttering: Well, fortunately I’m not allergic to alcohol, so it’s not a big problem!

Chu Younan was relieved, but if he drank such a big jar, he might not be able to get up today! He quietly returned to his table and told Ling Xiao, "Go and ask my mother's people to make some hangover soup!"

After saying this, he looked at the extremely heroic Su Bei from afar.

Although Su Bei was dressed as a servant and doing horse stance at this moment, with some wine flowing from the corner of her lips and flowing down her white neck to soak the clothes on her chest, in Chu Younan's eyes, she was as clean as the clouds in the sky and the stars in the night sky.

As he was watching, he heard Yaruo slam the jar with a clang and shouted, "This princess has finished drinking first!"

Chu Younan took a step forward, looked at the wine jug and bowl on her table, and said, "Princess, there are more on the table."

Yaruo was startled and quickly picked up the wine bowl and drank it.
