The genius queen, here we come!

Chapter 431 Concubine Tang can win even if she dozes off?

"No need!" At this time, Shi He's faint voice interrupted An Lin's words.She looked at Yu Shengjun on the drawing paper with calm eyes, "I can't keep up with Concubine Tang's "sketch", so...I admit defeat!"

Many people were shocked!But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was impossible for the queen to draw a picture like Concubine Tang's. Instead of spending time to complete it, they might as well just admit defeat!
Tang Lin was puzzled by Shihe's actions, and said anxiously: "Shihe, what are you doing? You are very talented in painting. You should be able to draw after watching me paint again, right?"

Shihe smiled ashamedly, and said: "Xiao Tang, if I draw other things, I am a little good at it, but your painting method... is already in the state of perfection, how can I keep up. I don't want to be a queen anyway. , let me watch your outstanding performance below! You have to work hard, the next thing you have to deal with is the imperial concubine, she is not easier than me, you have to be careful, I am optimistic about you!"

"Okay," Tang Lin didn't persuade Shihe any more, thinking, even if Shihe was given a hundred chances, Shihe probably wouldn't be able to draw a lifelike Yushengjun. "Then go down and have a good rest, and watch my performance. Don't worry, I will do my best to deal with it, and pay attention to it!"

"En!" Shihe replied, and without saying anything, she got off the stage, returned to her original seat and sat down.

After An Lin ordered Yifeng and An Leng to remove the things on the stage, he turned to the crowd and said, "Next, let's start the second round!" Speaking of this, he turned to the imperial concubine who was seated by the concubines, and said respectfully: " Empress, it's time for you to play next, please go to the back pavilion, you have a quarter of an hour to prepare!"

The imperial concubine nodded, then left her seat and went to the back pavilion.

After the calm scene was restored, there was another wave of discussion. They were all guessing how the imperial concubine planned to challenge Concubine Tang in the first half, and whether Concubine Tang could handle it well...

Next, Yitang handed a letter to An Lin from the edge of the stage.Immediately afterwards, Yifeng and An Leng, Xiao Xiong and Lu Yitang carried two long tables to the stage respectively.On the long table, there are two very long abacus with beads on each.

After a quarter of an hour,
Xiao Xiong inserted a stick of incense into the incense burner in the corner of the stage.

Immediately afterwards, An Lin looked towards the back pavilion, and called out loudly, "Please come on stage, Empress Dowager!"

Many people looked towards the rear pavilion. At this time, the sight of the imperial concubine had already appeared there. After that, she slowly walked onto the stage and exchanged a friendly look with Tang Lin.

An Lin opened the letter in his hand and glanced at it, then faced everyone, and said, "Tonight, the challenge that the Empress Dowager Empress is going to challenge the Empress Dowager Tang is abacus and mental arithmetic. We will select two people who are proficient in arithmetic from the cabinet to come to the stage Come up to help, if you are interested, please raise your hand!"

As soon as the voice fell, many people raised their hands.Those who raised their hands were almost all officials.

As the head of the palace, An Lin naturally had to accompany the emperor to the court every morning, and naturally knew all the civil and military officials in the court and the public.He glanced at the people who raised their hands, finally picked two officials he knew well, and asked very respectfully: "Master Li and Lord Ning please come up!"

The two adults left their seats one after another, stepped onto the stage, and stood up.

Concubine Xuan looked at Mrs. Li on the stage with indifferent eyes and no emotion, which made Concubine excited, "It's dad! That's my dad!"

Concubine Hua gave her a blank look, "Don't make noise, I know it's your father, be quiet, the competition begins!"

Concubine Ling asked, "Do you think Concubine Tang will win this time?"

"Not necessarily!" It was Concubine Hui who said this, and she calmly analyzed: "I heard that the Hou family used to be in business. The imperial concubine has been familiar with it since she was a child, and with her talent, she is good at abacus and mental arithmetic. She is very good at it! It is impossible for Concubine Tang to be proficient in all talents, and she may really meet her opponent this time!"

Tang Lin glanced at the abacus on the table, and smiled wryly at the imperial concubine, "Sister, I never thought you had such talent!"

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "My sister has won the prize! It's rare to have a chance to show off your talents, so sister, I will not be soft when I wait!"

"Hey!" Tang Lin sighed, shrugging her shoulders and said, "Besides coping with it all, what else can I do? But sister, don't be soft, I'm still waiting to be defeated once!"

Hearing what Tang Lin said, the imperial concubine couldn't help but let her blood boil, "Don't worry, sister, she will do her best! If my sister can't stand it anymore, just tell me!"

Tang Lin smiled wryly again and again, unable to hold back?Who is she Tang Lin?China's rare female special forces!An Lin took a few more glances at the letter that was sent up by the class, and after understanding the rules of the competition, he said to everyone: "The rules of the competition are as follows: Master Tai Tuo and Master Ning will make the questions, Master Tai Tuo will be in charge of the abacus calculation, and Master Ning will be in charge. mental arithmetic."

"Director An," Tang Lin asked, "Is it true that Master Taifu and Master Ning are asking questions about addition and subtraction, and whoever gives the correct answer first, me or the imperial concubine, wins, right?"

"Yes!" An Lin said, "Let's start with the abacus calculation. No matter how many questions there are, Mr. Tai Tuo will come up with them. Whoever solves them within a quarter of an hour without mistakes will win. Next, there will be mental arithmetic. , do not use an abacus to calculate! Another point, within a stick of incense, the two empresses were unable to complete the questions posed by Master Taifu and Lord Ning. I declare that the two empresses lost in the first half. The two empresses ,Understand?"

Tang Lin and the imperial concubine looked at each other, no objection, and nodded to An Lin.

An Lin nodded in response, "Well, I have no objection, the match begins!" Then, facing the censer, he ordered Xiao Xiong who was waiting by the censer, "I announce that the match will start immediately, guard Xiao, light the incense!"

Xiao Xiong quickly put the incense on the ground.

Taifu Li walked between Tang Lin and the imperial concubine, and stood in front of the two abacus.Before starting to write the question, he looked at Concubine Xuan and Concubine Ling who were seated by the concubines.If the arithmetic problems were deepened, then the two concubines would not have the chance to win the first half...

Concubine Ling seemed to feel the state of mind of her father, and suddenly had a bad feeling, "No! Does Dad want to..."

Concubine Hua next to her asked, "What's wrong?"

Concubine Ling worried: "Will my father deepen the question so that neither the imperial concubine nor the concubine Tang can win in the first half? No matter how powerful the imperial concubine is at abacus, how can she beat the person who gave the question?"

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows, "Isn't this better? In this way, we can see whether the imperial concubine and concubine Tang are capable of welcoming them!"

Concubine Hui said, "Don't talk about it, just concentrate on watching the game."

Taifu Li looked away from the concubine's seat, and landed on the concubine Tang and the imperial concubine in front of him, and bowed to the two, "The imperial concubine, the empress Tang, I have offended you!"

The imperial concubine said flatly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite, this is a competition. Please start."

Li Taifu straightened up, and An Lin said to them: "The cabinet has arranged arithmetic hands to do the calculations, and at the end of the competition, they will announce whose answer is correct. Please come up with the questions immediately!"

Taifu Li straightened his expression and adjusted his mentality.

Immediately, the imperial concubine and Tang Lin took a step up and stood firmly in front of the abacus.As long as Li Taifu opens his mouth, they will calculate the numbers slipped out of Li Taifu's mouth on the abacus in turn.

After Taifu Li adjusted his mentality, the audience was silent. At this moment, he opened his mouth, and countless astronomical figures slipped out of his mouth quickly, as if he was reading a jingle, and he kept reading without any intention of stopping. The breath is very fast, and you can’t even blink, "Please listen to the question, add 750 to 370, add 91, add 540, minus that..."

As soon as Li Taifu said it, the audience was shocked, not to mention asking them to use the abacus to calculate, even the number that Li Taifu read, they did not hear clearly, it is really Li Taifu who read too fast, and what he read is thousands of words. above figures.

On the stage, as soon as Mrs. Li said something, the imperial concubine and Tang Lin quickly added and subtracted to the abacus.The imperial concubine used one hand, and kept moving up and down the beads on the abacus with five fingers, her expression changed abnormally, and her hearing was extremely sensitive.She seemed to have been born for arithmetic, to be proficient at such things.No matter how many astronomical figures Li Taifu read and how fast she read, she could write them down on the abacus.

What surprised everyone even more was Tang Lin.

At this moment, Tang Lin was standing in front of the abacus, with her hands on the abacus, and kept moving the beads on the abacus as if she were playing the piano, with a relaxed expression, not as focused as the imperial concubine.

But she looked so bored, it didn't seem like she was manipulating the abacus.Everyone thought, is it incoherent?
Taifu Li never stopped talking, and read very fast, without any slack.He only asked one question, and it was a very, very long question. He wanted to finish it in a quarter of an hour before giving up.

After a while, Tang Lin raised the watch-wearing hand to check the time. It hadn't been 5 minutes, let alone 15 minutes.She was so bored that she smashed her mouth and tapped her hands on the abacus, but instead of looking at the abacus, she yawned from time to time and looked at the audience around her boredly.

Seeing Tang Lin's listless and powerless appearance, the empress dowager sighed deeply, and said to Yu Shengjun beside her, "This series of long questions has stumped her!"

Yu Shengjun said: "The competition is not over yet, don't worry too much about the mother."

Yu Xinrui turned her head and said to the two of them: "Brother Emperor, Queen Mother, sister Tang and Master will definitely lose in this round. Xinrui can see that Taifu Li only intends to ask a question, and he intends to finish it in a quarter of an hour." No matter how good the master's hearing is, her hands can't keep up with Li Taifu's mouth. Li Taifu speaks so fast, and the master can't hold on to the end, and her hands will probably have cramp!"

The empress dowager asked: "How do you know that the imperial concubine's hand has cramp?"

Yu Xinrui explained: "When learning arithmetic with Master, she asked Xinrui to read a series of numbers. Master wanted to see how long she could last with abacus. As a result, within a quarter of an hour, her hands were so stiff that they were shaking. No! It is already a miracle that Master can persevere until now!"

Yu Shengjun looked towards the stage and began to observe the imperial concubine. When he noticed that the fingers of the imperial concubine stiffened suddenly, his eyes tightened.Looking at her face again, there was already a layer of sweat.This woman is really not to be underestimated when she works hard.

Turning his gaze, Yu Shengjun's gaze fell on Tang Lin, watching her fiddling with the abacus with both hands, and instead of looking at it, he looked listlessly at the audience around who were amazed at the performance of the imperial concubine.

Yu Shengjun smiled wryly, and Tang Lin's appearance made him laugh.

After a while, Tang Lin raised the hand wearing the watch to look at it again, 10 minutes had passed.Her other hand was still fiddling with the abacus, it seemed that Mrs. Li didn't stop, and she didn't intend to stop either.It's over in 5 minutes, I hope it's over soon, it's so boring.

Suddenly at this moment, the imperial concubine next to her let out an "ah".

The hearts of the audience hung up.

When Tang Lin looked over, one hand of the imperial concubine was stiff, but it didn't break her down. She continued to move the abacus with the other hand, but she couldn't keep up with Taifu Li's mouth.

"Sister..." Tang Lin wanted to say a word of concern, but she didn't say anything because she was afraid of hindering the imperial concubine's calculations.

Seeing that the imperial concubine's rhythm could not keep up with Li Taifu's reading speed, many people were worried whether the imperial concubine could persevere to the end.
