Chapter 1411 Father-in-Law and Father-in-Law (3)
When she looked up, she saw Ning Huaixiu staring at her in astonishment, so she asked: "How many do you have left?"
Ning Huaixiu blushed and said: "There is still one."
Caiwei nodded and said: "Not bad, go back to eat first, and come back tomorrow!"
Ning Huaixiu hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to her: "Yes, I'll take my leave!" After walking two steps, she couldn't resist the doubts in her heart, so she stopped and said: "I dare to ask how the queen calculated the accounts, how can it be so fast?"
Caiwei was holding a teacup and drinking tea. Hearing this, she said slowly: "Arabic numerals arithmetic!"
"Arabic numerals arithmetic?"
Ning Huaixiu was stunned. She was also a well-read and knowledgeable person. How could she have never heard of the Arabic arithmetic method in the world?
Caiwei put down her teacup and said slowly: "This arithmetic method was invented by my father. It is much faster and simpler than our ordinary accounting method. It will be widely promoted in our Great Jin Kingdom soon. You will know it then!"
Ning Huaixiu's face darkened when she heard it. It turned out that she was not only inferior to her in appearance, but also inferior to her in ability...
During dinner, Nangong Yi told Caiwei the purpose of Li Guogong's visit to him and his reply. Caiwei was very satisfied with Nangong Yi's democratic approach and let Xiangyun decide her own destiny. Only in this way could she get the happiness she wanted.
She called Huanqiu and asked her to tell Queen Namuhan and Wanyan Jingchen what Nangong Yi said, so that Wanyan Jingchen would be prepared to compete fairly with Mo Zili. Whether he could win the beauty was not up to others, but up to himself!
As soon as Huanqiu walked out of the imperial study, he ran into Princess Chaogui who came to apologize.
Since the queen sent someone to send her back to her palace without even asking her a single question, she knew that her trick had been discovered by the queen. She was just a weak woman who depended on the queen. Her rise and fall, honor and disgrace all depended on the queen's thoughts. Whether her lofty ambitions could be achieved depended on a word from the queen.
Therefore, she would never dare to offend the queen, and she could not ignore her opinion of herself. After waking up, she struggled to come and plead guilty regardless of her weak body.
Caiwei and Nangong Yi were having dinner. When they heard Chaogui's request for an audience, they said coldly: "Tell her to go back. I don't have time to see her!"
Chunliu went out to pass on the message. When Chaogui heard that the queen would not see her, she knew that something was wrong. If she really left, she would never see the queen again. Therefore, she ignored her many discomforts and knelt outside the imperial study with her knees bent.
Seeing her like this, Chunliu quietly curled her lips and went back to report to Caiwei. Caiwei would not be bought by her self-torture. She sneered: "If she likes to kneel, let her kneel. Don't pay attention to her."
In the yard, Chaogui shivered in the cold wind, secretly hoping that the queen would have mercy on her, but until she finally passed out from kneeling, the queen did not respond to her at all.
Hearing that she had passed out, Caiwei said impatiently: "Send her back and order her to recuperate in the palace. She is not allowed to come out without being summoned."
This imperial decree was called recuperation, which was another way of saying that she was confined to her house. Caiwei hated people playing tricks the most. If Chaogui told Caiwei openly that she wanted to marry Wanyan Jingchen, even if Caiwei could not help her, she would not hate her. But after this incident, she had completely become a scheming woman in Caiwei's heart. It was impossible for her to restore her image and regain favor!
Nangong Yi said: "This Chaogui has been smart since she was a child, otherwise Concubine Jin would not have adopted her. It's a pity that she is too ambitious and her cleverness backfired."
