By the time the sacrifice was over, Xiao Xiao was as if he had been fished out of the water, which made him wonder whether the senior officials in front, who were dressed on the third floor to the left and the third floor to the right, would faint from heatstroke.It's a pity that what Xiao Xiao was looking forward to didn't happen. After shouting long live, the sacrifice passed away peacefully, and everyone walked back to the palace under the leadership of the emperor's imperial chariot.

It was time to arrive at the palace.Xiao Xiao took back the box from the guard, and was relieved when she saw that the pinched hair was still there.The superintendents would probably not be able to come in until Youshi, but unfortunately the palace was heavily guarded and people were not allowed to walk around casually, so Xiao Xiao and other doctors could only stay in the History Museum to the east of the Wenhua Hall, and at most go to the Sutra Pavilion.

Xiao Xiao, who doesn't know anything about classical Chinese, is naturally not interested in going to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, so he visited the history museum with Zheng Bai.Compared with other palaces in the imperial palace, this history museum is naturally small, but it can accommodate nearly 100 people, no matter how small it is, it is not that small.Xiao Xiao and Zheng Bai spent half an hour visiting this gorgeous building, and when they wanted to go out for a walk, they happened to meet Rong Qianqiu again.

"Sure enough, we met here." Rong Qianqiu was full of surprise, "I always thought that I would have time to find you after finishing my work, but it's a pity that every time you are either in class or not, I always miss it."

"It's true that I don't go to the family very often recently," Xiao Xiao also smiled, "I've been to Taixue a few times, but it's a pity that I didn't meet you."

Rong Qianqiu was even more delighted to hear that Xiao Xiao had gone to him, and hurriedly asked Xiao Xiao to go to the pavilion where there was no one outside.Xiao Xiao pulled Zheng Bai, Zheng Bai was naturally unwilling, but he was afraid that Rong Qianqiu would be bad for Xiao Xiao, so he followed them with a stinking face.

"I heard from other doctors that you have prepared a very special performance in mathematics?" Rong Qianqiu suddenly asked curiously after the two exchanged pleasantries.

"It's not special, it can only be said that it is the characteristic of our arithmetic," Xiao Xiao smiled lightly, as if she didn't care whether Rong Qianqiu was trying to trick him.It's a pity that Zheng Bai couldn't sit still, he despised Rong Qianqiu's poor cliché skills, then curled his lips and said:

"The performance of the Palace Banquet will only last for an hour, and you will naturally know when the time comes, so why ask now?"

Rong Qianqiu pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, as if she didn't hear Zheng Bai's hostility towards him at all.Xiao Xiao felt a little embarrassed instead, so she changed the subject: "I heard that your Taixue is performing with Guozixue? A strong combination, really don't give us other schools a chance!"

"What kind of strong alliance?" Rong Qianqiu frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth drooped suddenly, as if recalling something unpleasant, "It is said that they are performing together, but in fact they just want to compete."

Guozixue and Taixue are the two pearls of Guozijian, and each school has gathered the country's top talents.However, because the children of officials and eunuchs can enter the corresponding academies as supervisors without passing the general examination according to their grades, many people in these two academies are the children of high-ranking officials, especially in this Guozijian, which accounts for almost [-]% to [-]%. —Because most of the poor families who will try to get in are sent to Taixue.

As the saying goes, the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the children of mice can make holes.Now that a book in Baiyu Country costs more than a dozen taels, reading is really not something ordinary people can afford.However, the children of high-ranking officials have been immersed in writing and ink since childhood, and they can even have a study room.When others have worked so hard to obtain the result that these high-ranking officials can easily obtain, it is difficult for them to have respect.So these supervising students of Guozijian went to Taixue for this performance, saying that they wanted to discuss the Five Classics together, but in fact it was to prove that their Guozixue was the top school.

"Is it necessary?" Xiao Xiao was speechless, but he didn't expect there to be such twists and turns.

"That's why I often say that you don't look like a normal teenager at all, you have no childishness at all," Zheng Bai shook his head, "You are both in their teens, and your father is from a different faction, so naturally you want to compete."

Rong Qianqiu also nodded, and the three of them talked about the recent classroom situation. At this time, a Ph.D. from Taixue came over and said that the supervisors had arrived, and asked them to hurry up and lead the supervisors from their own school to prepare for the performance.

Eight supervisors of mathematics came, which was the number determined by Xiao Xiao and Zheng Bai after careful discussion.Unlike other academies, it was the first time for the supervising students of mathematics to perform in the palace, so they were more or less nervous.Xiao Xiao is also a person who can give a speech in front of hundreds of people in modern times, but he is not cowardly, so he encourages these supervising students.

"Although I know this performance is absolutely unprecedented, I'm still nervous," Feng Youcai checked the equipment in the box over and over again, and then whispered to Xiao Xiao, "And what if Huang Shang doesn't like our performance? What if he doesn't like it?" What should we do after watching our performance patiently? Also, the movement is too loud..."

Xiao Xiao looked at Feng Youcai who was still shy, and wondered how long it would take for his cowardice to completely disappear.Maybe it's because he has been bullied far more than he has been warmed since he was a child. This child is like covering himself in a tortoise shell, and he can't get in if there is a slight disturbance.Even though he is not short of money now, even if no one dares to ask him to write articles for him, Feng Youcai's lack of self-confidence is not lacking at all, and this is what makes Xiao Xiao dissatisfied.So this time Xiao Xiao asked Feng Youcai to join in the performance, because he knew that only when he got enough—or heavy enough praise—could he truly have confidence.

"If you don't believe in yourself, then believe in me." Xiao Xiao patted his head, "I guarantee that even if this performance fails, it will be appreciated by the emperor, because it is so important."

Feng Youcai nodded earnestly. If there is only one person in this world that he can fully trust, then it must be Xiao Xiao.So Xiao Xiao said that it must be true to be praised by the emperor, Feng Youcai finally felt more at ease, and then bowed his head to review the rehearsed process before.

The palace banquet started very early, and before it was dark, I heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.It's a pity that the people sitting in the main hall are at least officials of the fourth grade or above, so Xiao Xiao and the others can only imagine the excitement in this history museum boredly, and then watch the doctors and supervisors of other academies batch by batch. The little eunuch called away.From Guozi to Calligraphy, in the end there were only ten people who studied Mathematics in the history museum, and Xiao Xiao knew that it was time for them to perform.Sure enough, after about a cup of tea, a young eunuch appeared in front of them, saying that it was their turn to perform mathematics.

"I heard that mathematics has caused some troubles recently," Xiao Xiao and the others hadn't arrived, but there were already discussions in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The servant of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said to the emperor: "Since Mr. Xiao became a Ph.D. in mathematics, this mathematics has been extremely lively, and there has been some movement almost every month. It seems that you are worthy of being a gentleman..."

"Mr. is naturally different," Cong Shilang of the Ministry of War snorted, "otherwise where did the cement come from, and where did the crossbow come from? The emperor often talks about seeking new ideas and changes. Does Bai Shilang have any different opinions?"

"That was not what I meant……"

Bai Shilang from the Ministry of Rites showed a wry smile, as if what he just said was unintentional.Seeing his behavior, Cong Shilang secretly rolled his eyes, and didn't say anything else, lest he would have to take care of others.The hall fell silent for a while, when Xiao Xiao and others appeared at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the officials just watched them walk in silently, those eyes seemed to see through them.However, the people who had been encouraged by Xiao Xiao did not have stage fright, but walked firmly to the center of the hall, and then knelt down to the emperor.

"I don't know what's new in arithmetic?"

The emperor seemed dissatisfied with the performances of the previous academies, so Xiao Xiao and the others directly asked this question before they were allowed to get up.His tone revealed inquiry and impatience. Xiao Xiao thought that if she didn't answer well, she might be kicked out and punished directly, so she didn't dare to raise her head and replied: "It's indeed something new, I promise that the emperor has never seen it before." novelties."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"That's interesting." The emperor lazily opened his mouth to take the grapes fed to him by the people around him. "It's just that if Mr. Xiao's boast can't be realized, then don't blame Mr. Zhenzhi for deceiving the emperor."

Liu Ziming looked at Xiao Xiao involuntarily, and frowned even though he knew what Xiao Xiao was performing.But the faces of the other ministers are even more exciting, some are holding a wine glass to hide their smiles, some are watching a show with a blank face, and some are looking up and down at Xiao Xiao with lewd eyes for some reason.It's a pity that Xiao Xiao was lowering his head at this time, but fortunately he didn't receive so much malice, otherwise he might not be as calm as he is now.When the emperor allowed them to start performing, Xiao Xiao raised his head, but he was stunned on the spot, because he unexpectedly saw a familiar face beside the emperor.

That person is clearly fucked——

Xiao Xiao's pupils narrowed for a moment, and then he rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the people he saw.Her heart beat violently as if going crazy, Xiao Xiao gasped for breath, but still felt suffocated.All the voices disappeared, Xiao Xiao stood there blankly, only the red figure remained in her vision, and only her frowns and frowns remained.For the first time, Xiao Xiao felt that his eyesight was too good, because he could even see the mockery and pleasure in the man's eyes.

"teacher?"

At this time, someone bumped into him from behind, Xiao Xiao just woke up like a dream, and took a few steps back unconsciously.Feng Youcai looked at Xiao Xiao strangely and asked in a low voice, "Why isn't the teacher going down?"

Xiao Xiao's lips moved, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't speak at all.Looking at the worried expressions of the supervisors, Xiao Xiao took a last look at the people around the emperor, then turned around and walked to the gate of the palace, expressing that she would not participate in the performance.
