Hearing this, Chen Wanruo turned her head and looked at Luo Pinting as if she was a fool.

After receiving Chen Wanruo's gaze, Luo Pinting, who thought she had her under control, was not panicked.

Instead, he felt proud.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Pinting stopped talking, everyone started pointing fingers at Chen Wanruo.

No politeness at all.

"Eunuch Li, you can't just ignore this. The rules have been made clear. Cheating is not allowed." One of the warriors stood up and said angrily.

There are two of them.

Soon everyone started pointing at Chen Wanruo and scolding her.

Chen Wanruo was not in a hurry. Instead, she looked at everyone and asked calmly, "Which eye of yours saw me cheating?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Luo Pinting, who was full of pride, saying:

"I was sitting in front of you. If I cheated, I would have to turn my head to see your rice paper. Just now, everyone knew whether I turned my head or not. But you were different. You only needed to raise your eyes to see the answer on my rice paper. So, I really doubt whether you cheated or not."

Having said this, Chen Wanruo turned to Eunuch Li and said:

"Eunuch Li, you were watching me when I wrote the answer to the riddle just now. I believe my answer was the fastest one, wasn't it?"

Adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, Eunuch Li had to speak up: "Indeed, Madam Luo did write the answer the fastest just now, and I was watching as well."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.

But Chen Wanruo refused to listen. She turned her head to look at Luo Pinting and said in a sarcastic tone:

"My sister just said this to me. If someone doesn't know, they might think what my sister is up to?"

Having said this, Chen Wanruo wiped away the non-existent tears in her eyes and continued:

"In previous years, I knew my sister liked to take the lead, so even if I thought the questions were simple, I still gave them to her. As the eldest lady of the Liu family, I naturally know the principle of prosperity and adversity. If my sister wins, doesn't that mean that my sister also wins? Besides, my sister likes to take the lead, so what's wrong with my sister giving in? This year, my sister just liked to guess riddles and couldn't help herself. Who knew that my sister would be like this..."

Chen Wanruo didn't continue talking, but even so, who could not understand what she wanted to express?

Hearing Chen Wanruo's words, Luo Pinting was a little stunned for a moment, and seemed unable to react.

In previous years, I would also find excuses to say a few words like this, but Chen Wanruo would always endure it.

Out of consideration for Liu Shiquan's face, she would usually tell herself in detail when she returned home, asking her not to do it again next time.

But unexpectedly, this year she completely disregarded the reputation of the Liu family.

"Sister, I..."

"Sister, I don't blame you, and I believe Shiquan won't blame you either." Chen Wanruo interrupted Luo Pinting and said.

Isn't it just being a white lotus? Who can't do it? Chen Wanruo is also good at it.

What's more, she just brought Liu Shiquan out on purpose.

The purpose is to let Liu Shiquan see to what extent his so-called doting wife can do for him?

You know, the original idiot came here like this every year.

At this time, Luo Pinting probably reacted and looked at Liu Shiquan's tall back diagonally above her.

He gritted his teeth, glared at Chen Wanruo hatefully, but finally endured it.

Seeing this, Chen Wanruo just sneered and ignored it.

She would not forget the main purpose of her coming here today.

If it wasn't for the divorce, she really wouldn't bother to make this trip.

"Next, we will move on to the next question. Please listen to the question."

"It is as light as a swallow, flying between heaven and earth. It is not afraid of the distance, but can still pass on the message. Name an animal!"

"One, two, three... twenty-five! Okay, you can stop now!" Eunuch Li said to everyone.

After the little incident just now, as soon as Eunuch Li said that, everyone immediately put down their brushes.

Luo Pinting looked at Chen Wanruo, who was sitting upright and completely motionless diagonally above her, and she felt more and more proud.

Judging from her expression, she definitely didn't guess it just now.

"You can now show us the answers to the riddles in your hands!" Eunuch Li spoke again.

How could Chen Wanruo not know the gaze behind her?

She just doesn't care.

After hearing what Eunuch Li said, he directly picked up his rice paper and showed it to her.

This round, the questions are more difficult.

Eunuch Li extended it by another five times.

But even so, there are only a few people who can answer it.

Not to mention others, even Luo Pinting could hardly answer it, let alone others?

You know, Luo Pinting is a famous talented woman.

However, what surprised everyone was not Chen Wanruo, but the Seventh Prince Murong Chen who was diagonally opposite Chen Wanruo.

He just as slowly and methodically revealed his answer to the riddle.

What does this mean?

This means that he also has to participate in this competition. Does that mean that if he wins, the emperor will have to agree to one of his requests?

But he is already a prince, so what other requests could he make that require the emperor's approval?

But if it wasn't for the prize, why would he get involved?

"What? I can't participate?" Seeing everyone looking at each other, Murong Chen asked slowly.

This question stumped Eunuch Li.

So he looked timidly at Emperor Murong Peng who was sitting on the high throne.

In front of so many people, Murong Peng would naturally not go back on his word.

As the king of a country, he still understands that his words are law.

So he said, "Seventh brother, you are too kind. All the ministers present here can participate."

"Your Majesty, I thank you!" Murong Chen said lightly.

He has always been like this, as if nothing in the world has anything to do with him.

Everyone seemed to have gotten used to it.

However, Chen Wanruo was different. At this moment, she had already begun to worry about her prize.

Everyone knows that Murong Chen, known as the God of War, is not only an expert in martial arts, but also one of the best in literary talent in the entire Jin Dynasty.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Murong Chen who was diagonally opposite her.

But just now I was met with his half-smile eyes.

Chen Wanruo: “…” She now understood that her biggest opponent today should be him.

But it doesn’t matter. Chen Wanruo really doesn’t believe that she, a postdoctoral fellow in the 22nd century, cannot be better than a prince of the Jin Dynasty.

"Everyone, please pay attention, this is the last question!"
