Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 503: Denial

Chapter 503

"We'll know whether we can win or not after we see it. However, the question posed by Guanglin Kingdom is quite difficult." Shui Hanyue said with a smile. After all, the queen, as the mother of a country, probably doesn't come into contact with poultry on a daily basis, right?

But the Guanglin State just gave the Chuyuan State such a problem.

"Huh?" Wu Yuru was a little bit incredulous when she heard the question.

Could it be that the Guanglin Kingdom wants to give them a city?

"Sister Wu, do you have an answer?" Deng Zhiyu looked at Wu Yuru and asked quickly.

At this time, the matter concerned the reputation of the Chu Yuan Kingdom. Deng Zhiyu was the daughter of Prime Minister Deng, and she knew very well that they should unite against foreign enemies.

"Yes, there is, but I'm not sure about the answer." Wu Yuru said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.

You know, if they answer correctly, they can win two cities, but if they answer incorrectly, they will have to pay three cities.

Wu Yuru doesn't have the courage to gamble.

"Tell me." Chu Yuanming looked at Concubine Wu and asked.

"Your Majesty, these five heads and sixteen legs should be two chickens and three rabbits. This chicken has one leg, and the two have four legs in total. There are two heads, one rabbit has four legs, and the three rabbits have twelve legs in total. There are three heads, which adds up to exactly five heads and twelve legs." Wu Yuru replied a little embarrassedly.

Don't ask Wu Yuru, a young lady from a wealthy family, why she knew this. When she was little, she was naughty and locked up the chickens, ducks and rabbits on the farm together. She counted them at that time.

This answer is definitely not wrong.

Chu Yuanming thought about it first and felt that this answer was correct.

"Ms. Wu, go and answer the questions." Chu Yuanming said.

"Father, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Wu Yuru said in fear, waving her hands repeatedly.

If they answered wrong, they would lose three cities. Wu Yuru felt that she could not bear this responsibility.

"Your Majesty the Emperor asked you to answer, so just answer with peace of mind. If anything really happens, we are here to support you." The prince glanced at Wu Yuru and said encouragingly.

"I..." Wu Yuru was still a little hesitant.

"Sister Wu, if you don't stand up, the people of Guanglin will think that we are afraid of them and dare not stand up. If you can answer it, doesn't it mean that we in Chuyuan are smarter than the people of Guanglin? The questions that they find difficult can also be answered by the women of our Chuyuan." Deng Zhiyu quickly advised.

"What Mrs. Deng said is right. Mrs. Wu, you can answer with confidence. This answer is definitely correct. If the people of Guanglin Kingdom say it is wrong, we will not agree." The queen also looked at Wu Yuru and said.

"Yeah!" Wu Yuru took a deep breath and agreed.

"I will answer the envoy's question." Wu Yuru stood up gracefully and said to the envoy from Guanglin Kingdom.

Master Wu, who was still lost in thought, was so frightened that he spat out a mouthful of water.

"What are you doing?" Prime Minister Deng looked at Tutor Wu with disgust.

"No, she...why is she joining in the fun?" Tutor Wu thought that his daughter was illiterate. If she gave a wrong answer, she would lose three cities.

The more Master Wu thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"But, Old Wu, can your daughter really answer it?" Master Deng obviously thought of this question as well and asked quickly.

"How would she know this?" Tutor Wu said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

She was very worried that the emperor would be so angry that he would kill his troublesome daughter.

Even if the emperor did not punish Wu Yuru, Taifu Wu felt that after losing three cities, their Wu family would not be able to face the old father of Chu Yuan and the old fellow villagers.

"Oh? Is there no capable person in Chuyuan Kingdom? They actually sent a woman out to fight?" The envoy of Guanglin Kingdom looked at Wu Yuru with contempt and said.

"Of course it's because the envoy's questions are too simple, and only a weak woman like me can answer them." Wu Yuru felt a little angry after hearing the envoy's words.

At this moment, she wanted to take out her long whip and throw it over.

"You are so arrogant! Then please tell me the answer, Madam." The envoy of Guanglin Kingdom did not believe that this woman could really answer his question in such a short time.

"There are two chickens and three rabbits. Each chicken has two legs, so the two chickens have four legs in total. Each rabbit has four legs, so the three rabbits have twelve legs in total. So there are two chickens and three rabbits." Wu Yuru was afraid that the envoy from Guanglin Kingdom would cheat, so he specifically explained the reason.

"This...how is it possible?" The envoy from Guanglin Kingdom muttered to himself in disbelief.

He thought about the answer for a long time before he figured it out, but in less than an incense stick of time, the woman from Chu Yuan Kingdom actually answered it.

"Old Wu, that's great. I didn't expect your daughter to be so capable." Prime Minister Deng thought about it carefully and still thought so.

I couldn't help but look at Wu Yuru with admiration.

"That's right?" Master Wu couldn't believe it either.

The girl he thought was a fool could actually answer the questions of the envoy from Guanglin Kingdom.

"That's right." At this moment, Prime Minister Deng didn't feel at all that Wu Yuru was more popular than his own daughter and would overshadow his own daughter.

After all, it is more comfortable to let Wu Yuru suppress his own daughter than to let the Guanglin Kingdom take away three cities.

Besides, they are not at a loss, as they still have two cities.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Deng could no longer hide the smile on his face.

If Wu Yuru is well, the prince will be well. If the prince is well, won’t his daughter be well too?

"Useless trash!" Long Yi felt so aggrieved. Now, not only did he have to hand over the golden clothes, but he also had to cede the two cities of Ruyang and Ruzhou to the Chu Yuan Kingdom.

"Your Excellency, tell me, am I right or wrong?" Wu Yuru saw that the envoy had a dark face and asked with a smile.

She knew she had the right answer.

The envoy looked at Long Yi somewhat bewilderedly at this moment, only to see that Long Yi had a dark face, and it was neither right nor wrong to agree.

The other person answered correctly, so he can't say it's wrong, right?

However, if he said that Chu Yuanguo was right and wanted to cede two cities, he would not dare to bear the consequences.

"What? Guanglin Country dares to issue a challenge but doesn't dare to fulfill it?" Chu Haojue blew on the musket in his hand and said to the people of Guanglin Country.

"Isn't that right?" Long Yi looked at the envoy and asked with gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, she...she is right!" The envoy was very flustered.

"The answer given by this lady is naturally...wrong." Long Yi stood up, looked at Wu Yuru, and said with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"You're talking nonsense!" Wu Yuru didn't expect Guanglinguo to be so shameless.

"Then tell me, what is the right thing to do?" Wu Yuru asked Long Yi with her arms crossed.

Wu Yuru stood up suddenly. She felt that this person was deliberately scolding her.
