Feed the sick prince, start from the Krypton Gold Mall

Chapter 11: Eat the things that won’t kill people, let Yanyan have a taste (overhaul)
She opened the game store and used the points she gave him to buy him another set of clothes - 50 points;

Considering that Yanyan is a bit stupid, clumsy and incompetent at washing clothes, I ordered him another bar of soap - 40 points;

100 game points are often not enough.

She would use up all the points after buying two things, and would use the remaining points to buy some snacks for Yanyan.

For example, the 10 points left today are just enough to buy a small bag of sugar water.

This is a rubbish snack made with cheap pigments and cheap saccharin. If you freeze it into ice cubes and sip it, your tongue will be dyed colorful.

Children's favorite,
Mom's nemesis.

Ji Nanxing knew that
But Yanyan didn't know,

Since it won’t kill people, Ji Nanxing just buys any of it.

Pei Yanli woke up the moment the things were placed beside the bed.

He had already figured out the other person's habits and would send him something late at night every five days.

Therefore, Pei Yanli is always particularly alert on this day, always paying attention to where the other party will appear from.

However, he had never seen the other party before. These things seemed to appear out of thin air, full of strange and supernatural powers...

For example, right now, it is a sultry summer day, but there are two pieces of pink ice in these things, bringing a slight coolness!

He opened the bag and tasted it out of habit; it was very cold and sweet.

It's like a trickle of water flowing through my heart.

After tasting the sugar water ice cubes, he found a palm-sized cube with a soft and strange texture under his clothes.

When you take this thing, it tastes bitter and strange.

But after exploring it, he soon found that it could dissolve in water, wash clothes very cleanly, and emit a light fragrance.

Was the person who gave him the gift a person or something else?
Since the other party has such supernatural powers, can he help him clear his name and solve his current predicament?

Pei Yanli didn't realize that his attitude towards this person he had never met before had changed a little...

Above the court,

They are discussing who will be responsible for receiving the envoys from the Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Wenxuan intended to appoint Ji Yongchang to the position to test this newcomer's ability to adapt to changing circumstances. However, General Pingxi Li Zhao strongly recommended an official who was on good terms with him, Liu Ling.

Eventually, the task was shared by both of them.

Ji Yongchang had just arrived, so he went to discuss this matter with Liu Ling.

But he was turned away by Liu Ling.

"Master Ji, you are not familiar with the affairs of the capital, let alone the affairs of Western Xia. It is better for you to take a good rest and learn about the affairs of the capital. As for receiving the envoys of Xia, I will help you do it."

Ji Yongchang wanted to say no.
But is it possible?
Although Liu Ling was a fourth-rank official, his official position was below Ji Yongchang.

But he is related to General Pingxi.

The wife of General Pingxi is the sister of the Concubine Xian in the harem, and the Concubine Xian’s son is the eldest prince…

The forces in the capital are complex and intertwined.

Ji Yongchang seemed to have just gained the emperor's favor and was in the limelight, but in fact, he was alone and had no power or position in the court.

Hey.

Ji Yongchang turned around to ask for the carriage, and saw the driver Niu Er drawing with charcoal on a smooth wooden board. He casually said, "Are you calculating your roundness again?"

"Yes, Lord Le."

Niu Er put away the wooden board and said, "Please sit tight. I will take you to the embassy right away."

"No need to go, just go back home."

Ji Yongchang rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes to take a nap.

It is easy to arrange for the envoys from the defeated country and there is no need to worry about them extra.

Liu Ling alone was indeed enough. Under his arrangement, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom presented the treasures, gold and beauties they brought with them one by one.

The envoy Guo Tu who presented the treasure was short, with short limbs and a crude appearance. Liu Ling could not help but tell his colleagues about the various jokes he made, which made people wonder if the Xia Kingdom had no more people to send such a person as an envoy.

above the hall.

Guo Tu even fell flat on his face at the door of the hall before going to court. His stupidity was so great that everyone in the court burst into laughter.

Guo Tu couldn't help laughing, "I am short-legged and blind, so I didn't see the tall threshold."

This makes people laugh even more.

Li Zhao stood in the team and looked at him with contempt, thinking that the Xia Kingdom must have been so frustrated by him that they sent such an envoy.

Ji Yongchang stood in the crowd and looked at the man with a serious face.

Due to insufficient information, he did not find out what kind of person Guo Tu was in Xia State.

But the Xia Kingdom had only lost one battle, so how could the envoy degrade himself to become a clown that made people laugh?

As expected, when everyone was laughing at him, Guo Tu changed the subject and said, "I was actually a carpenter before. Fortunately, I was trusted by the monarch and was able to serve as an official in the court and was fortunate to be sent as an envoy to the State of Zhou.

I have heard that the Great Zhou is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I have a question that has troubled me for many years. I wonder if the Great Zhou can help me solve it?"

While Ji Yongchang was still wondering if there was any trickery involved, Liu Ling, who had grown arrogant over the past few days, spoke confidently, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Guo Tu was waiting for this sentence, and a shrewd smile flashed across his face.

"It is recorded in the Zhoubi Suanjing that the diameter of a circle is one and the circumference is three. When I was making the wheels of a chariot, I found that the circumference of the wheel was not three times the diameter of the circle.

There are so many talented people in the Great Zhou, I wonder if anyone can calculate a more accurate value."

There is a constant between the radius and circumference of a circle, which is called pi.

At this time, Guo Tu raised this question, which was to let the people of Da Zhou calculate the decimal point after pi.

Liu Ling, who had just been praised with pride, suddenly lost his temper.

The court officials who had been laughing loudly suddenly became quiet.

Guo Tu had been playing dumb for so long, just waiting for the Zhou Dynasty to be at its most proud, so that he could slap them in the face. If no one in the court could answer, the Great Zhou would lose all face!

"My dear ministers, can anyone explain it?"

Emperor Wenxuan saw that all the civil and military officials in the court were silent, his face darkened, and he began to call out names: "Lord Liu, do you have any clues?"

Liu Ling lowered his head at this moment, and because of nervousness, beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. "Your Majesty, I have no idea at the moment."

The court was so quiet that he could hear his nervous breathing.

Emperor Wenxuan's expression became increasingly gloomy.

At this time, Ji Yongchang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is a groom in my humble residence who also likes to study these divinations."

Once these words were spoken, the current dilemma was temporarily resolved.

The emperor's expression barely softened, but when he looked at Liu Ling again, his eyes were full of disgust and dissatisfaction.

The Great Zhou was a great country with many talented people.

No matter how tricky the problem is, as long as there is time, someone can be found to solve it. In the situation just now, the conversation was just to resolve the deadlock at that time and maintain the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The person who solved the problem can be found slowly.

This Liu Ling is a fool!

Emperor Wenxuan picked up the teacup and sipped it nonchalantly. "Lord Ji, I'll leave this matter to you. Can you ask your groom to come and help the envoy solve his doubts in five days?"

The meaning of the Emperor's words is:

Ji Aiqing is quick to react, so I'll leave this matter to you.

Can someone find the answer within five days?

If five days are not enough, you can find an excuse and we will give you more time.
