Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhao Kangning looked at Su Xiaoxiao on the flower-picking roof in disbelief. “Impossible… You can’t solve it… You can’t solve it!”
The first two sentences were muttered to herself, and the last sentence was roared. It could be seen how much this matter had dealt her a blow.
She was an all-rounder and was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was good at literature and martial arts, but what she was most proud of was her intelligence. There was no woman in the world who was more outstanding than her.
How could a girl from the countryside give an answer to a question that she could not solve so easily?
She did not believe that Qin Su was smarter than her, nor did she believe that Qin Su was smarter than the scholar of Northern Yan.
The young Princess of the Western Jin took the answer from the guard who rang the gong. “It’s Thirteen! Qin Su didn’t answer wrongly! Qin Su, you’re too powerful!”
Princess Hui An was proud. “As expected of my sidekick!”
A trace of relief flashed across Princess Jingning’s eyes. Li Hui and the others were overjoyed.
“I knew Qin Su would win!” Lu Ying said with a smile. Lu Hui rolled her eyes at her sister. “I wonder who was so nervous just now.”
Lu Ying muttered, “What’s wrong with being nervous?”
The two of them were not from the same mother. Their relationship in the past was actually very shallow. It was only after coming to the palace school that they gradually became close.
“You cheated! ” Zhao Kangning said coldly:
Princess Hui An pointed at her nose and said, “Hey! Why are you like Guo Lingxi! If you can’t win, you would just say that she cheated! Are all of you such sore losers?”
Lu Ying said, “That’s right. The last person who questioned Qin Su was slapped until her face was swollen!”
“Ahem!” The eldest sister, Lu Hui, cleared her throat heavily and glared at her sister. “You’re not a princess. Shut up. I don’t want my house to be confiscated.”
Zhao Kangning gritted his teeth and said, “That question… It’s impossible for her to solve it!” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Su Xiaoxiao looked down at her. “You didn’t read my question. How do you know that I can’t solve them? Or… did you read it in advance? Aiya, I think I discovered something incredible!”
Everyone looked at Zhao Kangning.
Zhao Kangning’s face turned green and red. Of course, she couldn’t admit that she had tampered with the question. “What are you doing?”
The Princess of the Western Jin came over.
She had just entered the palace and finalized the plan for the trade between the two countries with Emperor Jing Xuan. When she returned to the posthouse, she heard the commotion.
She looked at the flower picking building that was more than 30 feet tall and Su Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the roof, and knew what was up.
“Mother! Qin Su and Princess Kangning were competing to pluck flowers. Qin Su won! But Princess Kangning wants to go back on her word! She said that Qin Su cheated! Is there anything difficult about this question? Why can Qin Su only solve it through cheating?”
“Show me,” the Princess of the Western Jin said.
The young Princess of the Western Jin handed the note in her hand to the Princess of the Western Jin. The question was on the front, and the answer was on the back.
After reading it, a trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Princess of the Western Jin. She looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, who was shining under the hot sun. “Have you done this question before?”
“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
The Princess of the Western Jin was much higher. She didn’t ask directly if it was her who did it. Instead, she changed her words. Not only did she obtain the answer that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t cheat, but she also understood Su Xiaoxiao’s talent in arithmetic.
She sighed and muttered, “I suddenly want to be your stepmother…”
“Mother, what did you say?” Her voice was too soft for the young Princess of Western Jin to hear.
The Princess of the Western Jin Kingdom folded the note and returned it to her daughter. “It’s nothing. Since you’ve won, come down quickly.”
This was announcing Su Xiaoxiao’s victory. It was useless for Zhao Kangning to go back on her word.
Su Xiaoxiao followed the vertical rod down.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Zhao Kangning had used her internal strength to shake the flower picking building. It was not obvious just now, but when it endured the pressure for the second time, a few vertical poles snapped with a bang and Su Xiaoxiao fell without warning.
Zhao Kangning had fallen halfway. She had fallen from the roof and was in greater danger than Zhao Kangning. Moreover, she did not know qinggong. If she did not die, she would be crippled.
The young Princess of Western Jin called out, “Qin Su!”
The Princess of the Western Jin Kingdom suddenly flew up to pick up Su Xiaoxiao. However, she was too far away. When she flashed past, she only had time to grab a sleeve.
Su Xiaoxiao was cushioned for a moment. Her sleeve tore and she fell again. “Little sidekick…” Princess Hui An exclaimed.
