He quickly read the rest of the test papers and let Eunuch Dahu announce the results.
This time, only one person was eliminated.
At this point, there were only four people left in the examination hall.
They were Lin Xiaoyue, Mo Fei, Liang Chengcai, and the Sixth Princess.
After learning the results, the sixth princess was nervous, afraid that she would be eliminated next.
After a while, with Emperor Yan’s order, a new question was sent up.
This time, the questions were even more difficult.
This time, when Lin Xiaoyue finished reading the questions, the other three were still staring at them.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t think too much about it and buried her head in her calculation.
After a while, she got the answer.
Thinking about it, she was not at ease, so she checked it again.
After confirming that there were no problems, she wrote the answer on the paper.
After she finished writing, Lin Xiaoyue started to feel bored again.
In the end, when she raised her head, she met Emperor Yan’s gaze again.
Just as she was about to avoid his gaze, she saw Emperor Yan smile at her.
Lin Xiaoyue stiffened, and then her lips twitched.
Then, she quickly averted her gaze.
The way he looked at her previously was very unfriendly. What is going on now?
No matter what the situation was, this person had a grudge against her husband, so she had a grudge against him. She had to remain vigilant.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan was not angry.
He felt that it was even more interesting for Lin Xiaoyue to smile back at him just now.
What a bold girl.
Lin Xiaoyue lowered her head and played with her pen for a while. She couldn’t help but look at the people beside her.
Seeing that Mo Fei and the others were busy calculating, she retracted her gaze.
Fortunately, mathematics was advanced in the 21st century, and her foundation was solid.
Otherwise, how could she defeat the most powerful mathematicians of this era in seconds…
Finally, while Lin Xiaoyue was waiting in boredom, the gong sounded again.
The guard came forward to collect the scrolls again.
The three people in front were still alright. Lin Xiaoyue saw Mo Fei and Liang Chengcai heaved a sigh of relief.
The Sixth Princess looked nervous and almost grabbed the paper to prevent the guards from taking it away.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoyue could roughly guess the outcome.
It seemed that the result of this match would be out.
As expected, after Emperor Yan took the test paper and looked at it, he immediately announced that the Sixth Princess was eliminated.
When she heard the result, her face turned pale, but she had to accept it.
Emperor Yan glanced at his daughter. Seeing that she wasn’t crying, he felt a little relieved.
To be honest, he was already very surprised that she could get into the top four.
After all, none of those who came to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sessment this time were ordinary people.
Emperor Yan thought that in the future, he should not stop his daughter from studying mathematics. He should even support her more.
After all, it would be a good thing if the royal family could produce an Arithmetic Master who could leave her name in history.
Emperor Yan smiled and looked at the three people below the stage.
“Now, only the three of you are left. According to the rules, you will represent the Great Yan to compete with Chu Jin.”
“But even if there are only three people, there must be a distinction between the ranks.”
“Therefore, 1 have decided to add another question.”
“Only the person who answers correctly will be able to lead the remaining two to compete with Envoy Chu Jin.” Emperor Yan said in a deep voice.
Lin Xiaoyue and the other two looked at each other.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Emperor Yan looked satisfied and looked at Eunuch Dahu.
Eunuch Dahu waved his hand, and the guard brought the questions over.
Even Lin Xiaoyue had to read the question twice before she started writing.
As for Mo Fei and Liang Chengcai, although they picked up their pens and drew a few lines, they kept frowning and didn’t know how to start.
Lin Xiaoyue did some calculations on the draft paper and finally came up with an answer.
She checked the answers again to make sure that there were no mistakes before writing them on the paper.
When Emperor Yan saw that Lin Xiaoyue had finished writing the answer very quickly, his gaze towards Lin Xiaoyue became even gentler.
Perhaps what the Imperial Advisor said was true, and this girl might really be able to represent the Great Yan.
This time, it didn’t take long before the gong sounded.
Mo Fei and Liang Chengcai’s faces flashed with helplessness. They stopped writing and didn’t write the answers on the paper.
The guards came to collect the papers. When the two saw Lin Xiaoyue’s relaxed expression, they admired her.
The result was obvious. They were indeed inferior to Madam Li.
Emperor Yan quickly received the test papers.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue had indeed answered correctly, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
He was not surprised to see that the last two papers were blank.
After all, this question was really difficult.
Even for him, after seeing the solution and the answer, he still didn’t understand..
