However, she suddenly thought of something.
“Alright.”
The Sixth Princess was shocked, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
“1,000 silver taels per question.”
“We will take turns to set the questions. If one of us can give the correct answer within fifteen minutes, the person who sets the questions will give the other 1,000 taels of silver.”
“On the other hand, if you can’t give the correct answer within fifteen minutes, the person who answered the question will give 1,000 taels of silver.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
If she wanted to challenge her, then she would have to bleed a little…
If there was a prize, she wouldn’t mind playing with her.
When the Sixth Princess heard Lin Xiaoyue’s words, not only did she not feel that it was unreasonable, her eyes actually showed a fighting spirit.
That’s right, without a prize, what’s the point of a challenge?
1,000 taels of silver for each question was quite a lot.
She was looking forward to learning from Mrs. Li.
“Alright!” Therefore, the Sixth Princess’s eyes lit up and she agreed.
The corners of Lin Xiaoyue’s mouth also curled up. She was finally relaxed.
“Let me set the question first, the one on the table. If you can answer, I will give you 1,000 silver taels.”
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the Sixth Princess.
“Alright!” She smiled and replied.
Then, she walked to the table.
She saw the question written on the paper.
Lin Xiaoyue read the question and almost laughed in her heart.
Didn’t she give this question to Liang Chengcai previously?
Although they were not exactly the same, the method was the same.
Ever since Lin Xiaoyue walked to the table, the Sixth Princess had been staring at her expression. She saw that she did not panic at all when she saw the question. Instead, she calmly took out a pen and paper from her sleeve.
Then, the Sixth Princess quickly noticed that the paper and pen used by Lin Xiaoyue were completely different from the ones used by others.
The paper she used was bound into a book. There were even neat lines drawn on it, dividing the paper into equal rows.
The pen she used was even more fascinating. It wasn’t a brush, and when she wrote, she didn’t need to dip it in ink.
Even so, the words written with the pen were slender and clear, even clearer than those written with a brush.
The Sixth Princess was extremely curious and moved closer.
Lin Xiaoyue then scribbled a lot of symbols on the paper and continued to write.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up and she suddenly stopped drawing.
“The answer is 250,000.” She said.
As she spoke, the pen even ticked off the final calculation on the draft paper.
The Sixth Princess’ pupils constricted, and she almost lost her balance.
Then, she looked at the “scribbled symbol” that Lin Xiaoyue had circled on the paper, and her eyes were filled with shock.
“How…did you calculate it?!” She looked at Lin Xiaoyue in disbelief.
It was too fast. From the moment she saw the question to the moment she started to calculate on the paper, it had not even taken her half a cup of tea’s time!
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“First, tell me if my answer is correct.” She looked at the Sixth Princess.
“Yes…that’s right.” The Sixth Princess said hurriedly.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled again and then reached out her hand to the Sixth Princess.
“Then give it.”
The Sixth Princess was stunned.
Just as she was about to ask, “give what?”, she suddenly thought of the prize.
Hence, she turned around and looked at one of her maidservants.
“Give me 1,000 silver.” She said to the servant girl.
The servant girl’s expression changed. She glanced at Lin Xiaoyue with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Then, she reluctantly took out 1,000 taels of silver and handed it to the Sixth Princess.
“Princess…” She was about to persuade the Sixth Princess to not fall for the woman’s trick.
Unexpectedly, the Sixth Princess had already taken the silver notes without even looking at her.
Then, she turned around and gave the silver notes to Lin Xiaouye.
“Tell me, how did you calculate it?!” After paying, the Sixth Princess asked Lin Xiaoyue excitedly.
Lin Xiaoyue accepted the silver notes with a smile and then passed them to Zhao Shanshan for her to keep.
Then, she looked at the Sixth Princess.
“This question isn’t difficult. It’s just a sum of arithmetic progression.”
The Sixth Princess was stunned.
“What? Arithmetic progression? What is arithmetic progression?”
Lin Xiaoyue saw the Sixth Princess’ stunned expression and burst out laughing.
“Forget it. You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
“I guess, with your level, you would sum the first and the last. Then, sum the
second and the second to the last..”
