"Next is the third competition, arithmetic!" The emperor announced the topic of the third competition: arithmetic.
"I wonder how the emperor will compete this time?" the chief academician of the Imperial College asked the emperor.
"I heard that the students in the Imperial College have been doing well in arithmetic recently. Why don't you set some questions to test them?" the emperor said to the chief academician.
He heard from Dabao that the students at the Imperial College really liked the arithmetic classes.
"Your Majesty, I obey your order!" said the chief academician of the Imperial College.
“Since the emperor has asked me to set the questions, I will explain the rules.
This competition is divided into three levels.
First, the old minister will ask an arithmetic problem and see who can give the answer quickly. The one who gives the answer first wins.
Second, the old minister will give a math problem, and whoever calculates the answer first and gets it correct will win.
Third, the old minister asks an IQ question, and whoever gives the correct answer first wins.
"What does Your Majesty think of this arrangement?" the Imperial College's chief academician asked the emperor.
"Okay, let's do as you say." The emperor thought it was a good idea, as all three attempts were very difficult.
"Now I will ask the questions, everyone listen carefully." said the chief academician.
"Wait, Your Majesty. I think Princess Jiahui has won two games in a row. This time, she will definitely not let us down. Why not let the princess participate as well? She will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." Tang Tianjiao started to act up again. She didn't believe that Princess Jiahui could win every time.
"Your Majesty, I do not plan to participate this time. I want my three children to participate, and each of them will choose a question. Please approve it, Your Majesty!" Li Yun said to the emperor.
"I agree! Which of you will accept the challenge for the first time?" The emperor asked Dabao and the others.
"Chen Wen replied to the emperor, "My sister Chen Fang will answer the arithmetic questions; my brother Chen Wu will answer the math questions; and I will answer the intelligence questions." Dabao answered the emperor's words neither humbly nor arrogantly.
His aura and calmness were admired by many ministers.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way. I'm looking forward to your performance, don't let me down!" The emperor admired Dabao's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and such temperament and momentum were like those of a royal descendant.
None of his grandsons has the same aura as Dabao.
"We will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." Dabao said respectfully.
"My dear minister, please give the questions!" the emperor said to the chief academician of the Imperial College.
"What is thirty-nine plus forty-five?" the chief priest asked the arithmetic problem.
"Eighty-four." Sanbao calculated it quickly.
"Correct!" said the Imperial College with satisfaction.
As expected of Princess Jiahui's daughter, she is extremely intelligent.
He was the one who lost to Sanbao before.
Before the ministers even started, Sanbao had already said the correct answer, shocking them so much that they forgot to count.
"What is ninety-two minus twenty-two?" The Imperial College's chief academic officer asked the second arithmetic problem.
"Seventy." After Sanbao said this to the Imperial College's chief academic officer, she followed up with the answer.
"Correct!" said the chief priest.
"What is forty-three times twenty?" the chief priest asked the third math problem.
"Eight hundred and sixty." Sanbao quickly gave the answer.
"Correct!" said the chief priest.
Sanbao answered three arithmetic problems quickly and accurately, which shocked the ministers and made them doubt their lives.
The princess is extremely intelligent and talented, and no one can rival her.
Her daughter is even more amazing than her, she is simply a child prodigy.
How can they live like this? How can they pamper their children in the future?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Princess Jiahui's daughter is truly a child prodigy. It is a blessing for the Jin Dynasty to have such a child prodigy!" Academician Jiang praised Sanbao.
"We congratulate the emperor. Finding a child prodigy is a blessing for the Jin Dynasty!" the other ministers followed suit.
"Good, good! Chen Fang is extremely intelligent and is indeed a blessing to our Great Jin Dynasty.
I hope you can inherit Princess Jiahui's wisdom and benefit the people in the future." The emperor said commendably.
"I will live up to my mother's cultivation and study hard. In the future, I will be able to benefit the people like you did." Sanbao said calmly.
"Okay, I'll wait and see!" said the emperor.
"Chen Fang wins this time's math problem!" The Imperial College's chief academic officer announced the result.
"My dear minister, please give us the questions!" the emperor said to the chief academician of the Imperial College.
"There are some chickens and rabbits in a cage. Counting from the top, there are thirty-five heads and ninety-four legs from the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there?" The chief academician of the Imperial College asked a math problem about chickens and rabbits in the same cage.
"Sir, this is so difficult. How do we count chickens, rabbits, heads and feet?" Some ministers and their families below began to ask the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
“You can figure this out yourself, as long as the answer is correct.
"Your Majesty and the princes, why don't you, the Prime Minister, take a look?" the Imperial College said to the Emperor and the others.
"Okay, let me do the math too." The emperor was also interested in this math problem, and he also wanted to see if he could figure it out.
"I'll try it too," said the Prime Minister.
"Twenty-three chickens and twelve rabbits." Erbao gave the answer after the Prime Minister finished speaking.
"Yes, Chen Wu got it right. Twenty-three chickens and twelve rabbits." The chief academician of the Imperial College said in surprise.
These questions were from the thinking book given to him by Princess Jiahui, and it took him two hours to figure them out.
Erbao figured it out in less than a quarter of an hour, how could he not be surprised.
Just as the emperor and the prime minister were about to calculate, Chen Wu gave the answer. What a genius he is.
But they didn't find a solution to the problem and had no idea where to start.
Chen Wu was able to figure it out quickly. What kind of IQ is this?
"Chen Wu, look, everyone else is racking their brains, thinking hard, and still can't come up with the answer, but you figured it out in less than a quarter of an hour.
