Mo Fei and the others were disappointed.

However, it was understandable that the Imperial Advisor wanted to keep the answer a secret.

Then, Mo Fei and the others dispersed.

They continued to do their own things.

They couldn’t think of any difficult problems, so they could only choose from existing questions

Lin Xiaoyue quickly wrote the answer.

Then, she gave the answer to Liu Wuji.

After Liu Wuji read it, he copied it down again.

He even asked Lin Xiaoyue to confirm it before putting it aside.

Lin Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the Imperial Advisor was done.

She felt that she could rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, the Imperial Advisor actually asked her to continue thinking about the questions.

“The questions you set are much better than those. While there’s still time, think of a few more.” The old man looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a smile, as if she was a lump of shining gold.

Lin Xiaoyue’s face stiffened.

“No more! I’ve already racked my brains for those five questions!” She quickly said.

She had thought hard for a long time.

She had more questions, but the problem was that they couldn’t be of the same type. Moreover, the standard of the difficult questions had to be high enough.

His standard was high.

It was only because he did not have as much knowledge in mathematics as she did. Otherwise, she would not have been able to give him a difficult question.

“Try again.” The Imperial Advisor did not give up and smiled faintly.

Lin Xiaoyue had no choice but to agree.

Then, she returned to her seat.

She bit the tip of the brush and continued to grind it.

Of course, because she had already provided five questions before, she was not as anxious this time.

When the others had finished choosing the questions, she had only written three questions.

In the end, the Imperial Advisor gathered everyone together and decided on the ten questions for tomorrow.

For the first six questions, there was no suspense. He chose the questions that Lin Xiaoyue had given earlier.

After that, the Imperial Advisor brought everyone to look at Lin Xiaoyue’s three new questions.

He realized that the quality of these three questions was somewhat unsatisfactory.

In the end, the Imperial Advisor only managed to pick one question.

Thus, he obtained the seventh question.

The remaining three questions could only be chosen from the questions that everyone had chosen.

The Imperial Advisor picked up a stack of questions and looked through them one by one. As he looked through them, he eliminated them.

In the end, there were only six questions left.

Then, the Imperial Advisor let everyone vote on the spot and decide on the last three questions.

After a while, the questions for the second half of tomorrow’s competition were out.

After setting the questions, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Liu Wuji sorted out the questions and then asked the servant waiting outside to call for Eunuch Hu.

Not long after, Eunuch Hu arrived.

In front of everyone, Liu Wuji handed the questions and answers to Eunuch Hu.

He instructed Eunuch Hu to personally deliver them to Emperor Yan.

After Eunuch Hu left, Liu Wuji looked at the people in the room.

“There’s no need to clean up this place.”

“Tomorrow, after the competition is over, I will get someone to clean it up.” Liu Wuji said.

There were many manuscripts here, and some of them were related to the test questions.

Everyone looked at each other.

“Yes, Master!”

“It’s getting late. You guys have worked hard today.”

“I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal. I’ll send them to your respective courtyards later.”

“After dinner tonight, rest early to compete properly with the envoy of Chu Jin tomorrow.” Liu Wuji said. When he said this, his face was filled with excitement.

“Yes, Master!” Everyone replied again. When they answered, their voice was much louder than before.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue and the others left the room.

After that, they left the bamboo garden together.

After bidding farewell to everyone, she followed Li Xiao, who had been waiting for her, back to the plum garden.

Not long after they returned to the plum garden, the servants brought over dinner.

After the servants put down the food and left, Li Xiao stayed behind and ate with Lin Xiaoyue in the room.

Zhao Shanshan went out to stand guard, leaving only the husband and wife in the room.

Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao about his situation today while eating.

“I’ve already met His Highness.” Li Xiao said.

“After discussion, we believe that tomorrow is the best time.” As he spoke, Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

The next day, Chu Jin’s envoy would enter the palace and compete with the Great Yan in arithmetic.

At that time, everyone’s eyes would be focused on the front hall. It would be the time when the guards in the rear palace were the most lax..
