Liu Wuji glanced at the Sixth Princess and agreed.
“The special training is only for one day, in the morning, and in the afternoon it depends on the situation.”
“If we can’t finish, we’ll continue at night.” Liu Wuji said.
The day after tomorrow would be the date of the competition between the Great Yan and Chu Jin. If they did not train tonight, they would only have tomorrow.
However, he couldn’t teach much in such a short amount of time.
It didn’t take long to talk about the rules of the competition and things to take note of.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue waited for a reply.
Only then did she eat with Liu Wuji.
That night, everyone had a peaceful time in the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
However, the royal study was different.
A group of old ministers who were proficient in arithmetic were gathered in the side hall. They had been busy the whole day.
It was to prepare some difficult math questions.
Yes, it was to prepare the questions for the competition with Chu Jin the day after tomorrow.
This was because the rules of the competition were to ask each other questions and then answer them.
Those who gave correct answers would receive points. In the end, the one with the highest score won.
They could choose people with strong mathematical abilities to answer the questions on the spot.
As for the questions, they could be prepared in advance.
It was also for this reason that Emperor Yan arranged for people to prepare questions in the side hall beside the royal study.
It was not just the people in the side hall of the royal study. Emperor Yan had also given Liu Wuji an additional order.
He asked him to prepare three difficult questions and send them to the palace before tomorrow night.
Compared to the hustle and bustle in the side hall of the royal study, the Imperial Consort’s Palace was at ease at the moment.
Prince and Princess Anyang entered the palace to visit the Imperial Consort today, and she asked them to stay.
Consort Shu was now on good terms with the Imperial Consort, and was actually called to accompany her at night.
Consort Shu already knew of her brother’s relationship with Prince Anyang. They became much closer.
She also respected the Anyang couple.
“You don’t have to be so polite. We’re all family.” Seeing Consort Shu bow to him, Prince Anyang personally went forward to help her.
Consort Shu stood up obediently.
Family?
Prince Anyang was wholeheartedly trying to win over his younger brother, and Princess Anyang also had business cooperation with her younger sister-in-law. Now, their relationship was indeed closer.
“Your Highness, you’re too polite.” Consort Shu said with a flattered expression.
“Not at all!” Prince Anyang smiled.
“I am not in the capital and mother is alone in the palace with no one to take care of her. It’s fortunate that you are there for her which makes me feel much more at ease.”
Seeing Prince Anyang’s smile, Consort Shu was a little embarrassed.
“It was the Imperial Consort who took care of me and comforted me…”
“Haha…” The Imperial Consort was amused and also came forward to grab Consort Shu’s hand.
“We’re taking care of each other.”
“You don’t have to be polite with him. As a junior, it’s only right for him to respect you.”
Prince and Princess Anyang quickly nodded.
Consort Shu then smiled and nodded.
Then, she followed the family to dinner.
During the feast, Prince Anyang told the Imperial Consort about what happened in Nan’an County and Qingshi Town.
Considering that Consort Shu was there, she talked about Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.
Especially Lin Xiaoyue, who had given him a lot of help. Prince Anyang mentioned her the most.
Even the usually quiet Princess Anyang also interjected and said something about Lin Xiaoyue. Her tone was filled with admiration for Lin Xiaoyue.
When Consort Shu learned that her sister-in-law was so capable, she was happy for her brother from the bottom of her heart.
At the same time, she was looking forward to meeting his sister-in-law.
“Haha, Ms. Lin is indeed a wonderful person. She also likes playing mahjong.” The Imperial Consort suddenly laughed.
“How about we play a few rounds later?”
Ever since her son sent mahjong to the palace and sent someone to teach her how to play, she fell in love with playing mahjong.
Usually, she would play mahjong with Consort Shu and other consorts she was close with.
Her son brought his wife to the palace to see her, so she didn’t have time to play cards.
Now, she had enough players.
Consort Shu smiled and did not refuse.
She had considered the Imperial Consort as one of her own, she was definitely willing to play cards with her.
Princess Anyang’s eyes lit up as she looked at her husband. It was obvious that he was going to agree.
Although she had some mahjong friends in Nan’an County, it was not easy to meet with them every day.
Now his hands were itching.
Prince Anyang was amused by his wife’s expression and nodded with a smile.
“Then play a few rounds with us.”
The last time he played mahjong was during the Chinese New Year last year.
He also liked this kind of entertainment very much.
Unfortunately, as a prince, he was busy all day long.. How could he have time to play cards?
