Duanmu Zhu took a deep breath and said, "My first question is, 'There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five chickens and rabbits on top, and ninety-four legs on the bottom. How many pheasants and rabbits are there?'"

She added: “No tools are needed.”

Lu Zhihuan【Elderly/Subway/Mobile Phone(¬_¬)】

996【Host, you can give the answer in one second! 】

Lu Zhihuan【Boring.】

She didn't even have to think about it. "If the chickens and rabbits each lifted two legs, that would make thirty-five heads and seven ten-legged legs. Subtract the seven ten-legged legs from the ninety-four legs, and there would be twenty-four legs left. Rabbits have four legs, and if they just lifted two, there would be twenty-four legs left. If each rabbit has two legs, that would make twelve rabbits. Subtract twelve rabbits from the thirty-five heads, and there would be twenty-three left, which are the chickens!"

Everyone listened attentively and nodded frequently.

"This is the leg-lifting method. There's also the hypothetical method. Similarly... let's assume all thirty-five are chickens. Chickens have two legs, so that's seven full legs, but actually ninety-four legs, leaving twenty-four legs. Rabbits have four legs, so each one is missing two legs. Similarly, if each rabbit has two legs, we still have twelve rabbits and twenty-three chickens."

Qi Yan's expression was full of pride, and the corners of his mouth never frowned.

Before anyone could react, Lu Zhihuan asked, "Now let me ask, 100 monks eat 100 steamed buns. The elder monk eats three, and the younger monks eat one. How many elder monks and younger monks are there?"

Everyone... everyone's little brains were working at a high speed. In the words of the system, their CPUs were about to burn out.

Lu Zhihuan curled his lips. [You are just an ancient person, and you are playing this with me.]

996【You actually played this with my host.】

Duanmu Zhu bit her lip and thought hard.

Seeing this, Lu Zhihuan smiled slightly and said softly, "Anyone here who knows the answer, please raise your hand!"

She turned to look at Duanmu Zhu again and said, "If the princess can't answer, I will win this competition."

Soon, the first person to raise his hand was Qi Yan. Lu Zhihuan flattered him: "Your Majesty is still the best."

Next is the male and female protagonists, Concubine Gao De, not surprisingly.

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard the Emperor's answer, which was really interesting.

At this time, a minister of the Duanmu Kingdom stood up and said, "Princess, don't worry. I have a solution. We can compare things and then slowly deduce it."

The noble lady said leisurely, "Are you a child? You only have this face, so don't embarrass yourself."

Duanmu Zhu glared at him, as if he thought it wasn't embarrassing enough.

Time is up...

"It seems that I won this competition." Lu Zhihuan said with a smile.

Duanmu Zhu snorted.

Lu Zhihuan: I haven't even started to exert my strength yet! If I were to ask you, I'd probably make you question your life.

She raised her hands and clenched her fists in front of her chest: "Friendship... first, competition... second."

The shouting was quite rhythmic.

Qi Yan's raised mouth corners could hardly be suppressed, "Don't be naughty."

The concubines present were so jealous that their eyes turned red, but they could do nothing.

Concubine Shu was even worse. Her nails dug into her palms, leaving deep marks, but she still had a generous and decent smile on her face.

Gao Xuan and Situ Jing looked at each other, and they both thought in their hearts, no wonder His Majesty likes such a quirky and smart person.

Qi Yan: "What? Princess, do you want to continue the competition?"

Duanmu Zhu was unconvinced, "Your Majesty, at least it has to be a best-of-three game?"

She thought that Concubine Zhao just happened to know the answer by luck, and she looked at Lu Zhihuan.

Lu Zhihuan didn’t know if she could answer the next question. She looked at the heroine, who nodded.

Lu Zhihuan said: "Please ask a question!"

Duanmu Zhu: "[Two people came to the river. There was only one boat, and it could only carry one person at a time. Can they both cross the river?]"

【Tongtong, I think she has no brains.】

"Of course, because there are two people on opposite sides of the river." Lu Zhihuan didn't hesitate.

Everyone...Oh, it turns out to be so simple!

Civil and military officials all whispered to each other, praising Concubine Zhao endlessly. The admiration and praise in their eyes were beyond words.

Lu Zhihuan rubbed her hands together. "Oh, it's my turn again! Listen up! [Princess Duanmu went to Xiangsi River to release lanterns on the Dragon Boat Festival, but there wasn't a single person there. Why?]"

996【Host, isn't this too easy?】

Duanmu Zhu crossed her arms and said proudly, "Of course it was because I, the princess, went out and drove them all away!"

Lu Zhihuan stretched out his index finger and shook it, "That's not right!"

[Look, this is a free point question. I didn't even guess it right.]

Many reasons were raised, and there were many different opinions, but no one wanted to answer them. (Because they were just looking for reasons.)

But these did not affect Lu Zhihuan's eating. Eunuch De asked the imperial kitchen to send some more warm wrapped small rice dumplings.

Lu Zhihuan called them one by one, and Qi Yan heard her muttering softly: "Ah, one by one, one little friend."

Princess Jing: ... (What are you saying?)

Ye Lingchen: ... (She wants to eat children!!!)

Liu Qingqing: ... (So cute.)

Qi Yan was used to her strange talk, but he was a little worried because she had been eating all day, almost non-stop. Had she been hungry for a long time? This shouldn't be the case!!!

He still instructed Eunuch De to have the food on Concubine Zhao's table removed and to serve some tea to help digestion and relieve the heat.

996【Host, you have been eating all day.】

Lu Zhihuan [Maybe I'm having a little bit of pregnancy reaction. Seeing so many delicious foods, I can't help but want to eat them. No, I have to control myself.] She looked at the small rice dumpling in her hand. It was the last one, and she couldn't let it go. With one bite, it was gone.

996【You are just greedy and you blame the baby. It is only ten days old.】

Lu Zhihuan [It's been almost a month since my last menstrual period.] Really, I haven't had any reaction yet, I'm just craving it.

Duanmu Zhu, Duanmu Lei and the envoys from Duanmu Kingdom racked their brains and thought hard, but they couldn't find a reason.

General Situ Zhen of the Cavalry looked extremely proud. He cleared his throat and said, "Princess Duanmu, the time has come...!" He despised the faces of the people from the Duanmu Kingdom the most. They all had evil intentions, but they kept talking about the friendship between the two countries.

He smiled and said to Lu Zhihuan, "Please enlighten me, Noble Zhao. I am truly curious about the reason."

Princess Jing covered her mouth to hide her laughter. Her father, such a serious and calm man, could also be so funny.

Lu Zhihuan took a sip of tea and said, wow, I feel so full.

【who? 】

996 [He is the General of the Cavalry, and the father of Concubine Jing.]

She asked back, "Old General, you may have seen half a human being on the battlefield. How could there be half a human being during such a big festival? Wouldn't that be terrifying?"

Everyone was speechless again...

Duanmu Zhu smiled, "This lady is indeed clever and intelligent. This princess admires you. This third question will certainly not be difficult for you, so forget it. After all, you have already won two out of three games, right? This princess admires you."

Lu Zhihuan also smiled generously: "I don't dare to claim to be smart, I'm just taking advantage of the situation. The princess is the one with great ambitions."

At this moment, Liu Qingqing couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart - such an intelligent woman is really rare!
