My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

The Queen's words did not comfort Emperor Shengjing, but instead made him feel that she was making excuses.

But at the moment, saving face was the most important thing, so he had no time to pursue the matter with the Queen.

At this time, Wan Rongyue comforted him in due time: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. This is only the first round. We still have a chance."

The emperor nodded, glanced at Xiao Yuche's position with some displeasure, and then ordered the competition to continue.

This time, it was Chu Shaochen's turn to ask a question. He first took a square box from his follower, opened it, and revealed the contents.

It was a square piece of wood, about the size of a palm, with six sides, each painted a different color.

Chu Shaochen held the object high up and explained, "This object is called the Linglong Square. It was found by chance by this prince. As you can see, it has six sides, each with a different color. The solution is very simple. Just rotate the movable blocks on each side and return them to a single color."

As he finished speaking, many officials present showed contemptuous expressions.

"It's just a matter of restoring a small cube. How difficult is that? There's no need for the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince to help. I can restore it."

The person who said this was a civil servant named Zhou Wu. He was a bit conceited and liked to brag.

But he has great talent in mathematics, and the Zhou mathematics he invented is currently highly respected throughout the Great Xia Kingdom.

Chu Shaochen, who was standing in front of him, heard this and walked towards Zhou Wu. He said, "If this sir can truly restore this exquisite recipe in public, how about I, the crown prince, admit defeat right here and now? Not only that, I will also give all the prizes above to this sir."

When Zhou Wu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you serious?"

A more prudent minister on the side could not help but advise, "Lord Zhou, be careful with your words and do not be fooled by the Crown Prince of Chu. In my opinion, this thing may not be so easy to obtain."

But Zhou Wu simply refused to listen. In his opinion, this was not difficult at all. The reason why the Crown Prince of Chu acted like this was because he regarded everyone in Daxia as fools.

So after obtaining the consent of Emperor Shengjing, he began to play with the Linglong Fang.

I originally thought I only needed to gently rotate a few sides to restore it, but I didn't expect that a stick of incense would pass...

Two sticks of incense have passed...

The sweat on Zhou Wu's forehead was getting more and more, and the exquisite square in his hand was turning slower and slower.

Finally, he managed to restore the two sides, but he couldn't move forward at all, because he found that no matter how he moved, he had to completely disrupt the two sides.

At this moment, Zhou Wu seemed to realize the profoundness of this thing.

Finally, the time has come.

The Linglong Fang in Zhou Wu's hand only restored two of its sides, and the other four sides were not completely restored.

He felt embarrassed for a moment, and after returning the item to Chu Shaochen, he admitted defeat and said, "This item is truly exquisite. I take back what I said before. I am ashamed."

Although he was conceited, after this incident, he finally realized that there is always someone better than you. So he simply admitted defeat.

Everyone present watched Zhou Wu's explanation process, and they finally realized that although this object looked ordinary, it actually held a lot of secrets.

But could something so exquisite and intricate really be solved by the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince alone?

Everyone on the Daxia side was deeply worried.

At this moment, Emperor Shengjing suddenly turned to the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince and asked, "Crown Prince, Sixth Prince, are you two sure you can restore this object?"

Xiao Yuche glanced at Xiao Yuzhi, and seeing that he had his head half lowered and was not sure what he was thinking about, he could only bite the bullet and answer:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give it my all."

The implication is that there is no complete certainty.

The emperor's expression grew increasingly grim.

If they lose this round, there will be no room for maneuver, which means that the two princes of Daxia will lose to the prince of Chu.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to have reached freezing point.

At this time, Chu Xiangban Ge stroked his beard and said meaningfully, "Emperor of Daxia, this competition is meant to promote friendly relations between the two countries. There's no need to embarrass your Highnesses. How about asking the Crown Prince to try a simpler question?"

As soon as these words came out, the officials of Daxia glared at Ban Ge, their faces filled with righteous indignation. But they couldn't lash out, and could only worry.

Chu Shaochen sneered, his eyes seemingly fixed on the top of his head. He echoed Ban Ge and said, "Since the Prime Minister has spoken, then this prince..."

"I'll try!"

Before Chu Shaochen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xiao Yuzhi.

Chu Shaochen was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Sixth Prince, if you lose this round again, then I will win this competition. Are you sure you want to try?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Once I've spoken, there's no reason to go back on my word. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Chu Shaochen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a bad tone: "Oh? This prince is willing to listen attentively."

Xiao Yuzhi, with his hands behind his back and a mature demeanor, replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "That's what it means to be better than others!"

"hiss!"

Everyone stared at Xiao Yuzhi on the field with wide eyes. Despite his young age, he already looked like he looked down on the world.

It is true that Yanlang is unique and there is no one like him in the world.

Chu Shaochen's face darkened, and he snorted coldly. He handed the exquisite recipe to Xiao Yuzhi and warned him, "If you can't figure it out later, don't cry on the spot! Humph!"

Xiao Yuzhi was not angry, but instead ordered the palace servant beside him to bring a long cloth belt.

Then, in front of everyone present, he slowly raised his hands and covered his eyes.

"boom!"

This scene shocked everyone.

Everyone stared at Xiao Yuzhi on the field with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.

Only Emperor Shengjing felt a tightness in his heart at first, but then he suddenly thought of something, curled his lips into a smile, and his expression relaxed as he whispered to Wan Rongyue:

"My little six is ​​truly a treasure."

Seeing this, Empress Guo felt both jealous and sour.

Xiao Yuzhi had taken all the limelight today. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that Xiao Yuzhi was just bluffing.

Just as Queen Guo was thinking this, she saw Xiao Yuzhi in the middle of the hall with his eyes blindfolded and his hands starting to move.

Everyone only had time to see his fingers constantly flying up and down and rotating, and even the "clicking" sound of the mechanical axis inside the exquisite square could be heard clearly.

For a moment, Noda's banquet was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Some people even couldn't help but hold their breath, for fear of disturbing Xiao Yuzhi on the field.

Finally, after only about ten breaths, a "click" sound was heard.

When everyone looked again, they saw that the Linglong Square, which originally had six sides with different colors, had now become complete and all the different colors had returned to one side.
