After the written test, the combat test would be held seven days later.
For five consecutive days, Li Yi did not see Li Han even once.
According to Duan Wu, Li Han had locked himself in the mathematics school and had not come out for five whole days.
Prove that any even number greater than two can be written as the sum of two prime numbers.
This question seemed to only have one line of words, but it had troubled the mathematics world for nearly three hundred years.
This was the world's most famous problem, Goldbach's conjecture, codenamed "1 + 1 = 2".
Back then, even Euler, who was known as the greatest mathematician on Earth, could not prove it. Then, this problem caused the mathematics world to study for nearly three hundred years. Until the day Li Yi went to the library to freeload, no one had proved it.
If Li Han really proved this proposition, Li Yi would worship him and offer him at least three sticks of incense every day.
It was good for a young man to be confident, but he must not be arrogant. Li Han was very smart, but he had a big weakness. If he did not encounter a setback for a long time, he would become arrogant …
After five years, if he did not wake up, he would become arrogant. He would not know that there was always someone better than him, and each question would be more difficult than the previous one.
Duan Wu grabbed his arm and whispered, "Brother, he has been working hard these few days. Don't make it difficult for him …"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I won't make it difficult for him. Our little Duan Wu also knows how to care about him …"
Looking at Duan Wu's red face, Li Yi thought that Li Han had grown up these few years. He was no longer the silly little fatty who only knew how to do math.
"Aunt Duan Wu, I'm here to play with you."
A crisp voice rang in Li Yi's ears. Then, a young girl of about five or six years old ran in from outside. She looked like she was carved from jade.
Li Han followed behind her. His eyes were sunken and he looked exhausted.
Li Han looked up and stammered, "Little Rui, Little Rui came to play with you. I, I have to look after her."
Li Yi still remembered that when they left the capital, Xiao Rui was just like Li Duan, swaying as she walked. When he looked at the little girl at the door again, he couldn't help but feel a little unreal.
In the blink of an eye, she had already grown so big …
She said that she was here to play with Duan Wu, but in fact, she only stood at the door for a while before running out.
It seemed like Li Han's tricks were deeper than he had imagined. Even such a young child was treated as his wingman.
Li Han walked over and pursed his lips. He looked at Li Yi and said, "Then, that question, I can't prove it. What should I do?"
Li Yi shook his head. "I don't know either."
Li Han stared at him with widened eyes. "You … you don't know?"
He thought that the reason he said he didn't know was to test him, but he didn't expect that he really didn't know.
Could it be that he had spent the past few days studying an unsolvable question without sleep or food?
"In this world, not every question has an answer." Li Yi looked at him and said, "Don't think that there is no problem in the world that you can't solve just because you have studied mathematics for a few years. Mathematics is far from as simple as you think."
How familiar were these words, how familiar was this scene?
Li Han looked at the person in front of him and suddenly felt his legs turn to jelly.
The same tone, the same words …
If it wasn't for the fact that he had never seen this distant cousin of Duan Wu before, he would have thought that it was Sir standing in front of him again.
He lowered his head and said with a trembling voice, "I … I know …"
…
"Young Master, come down quickly!"
"Young Master, be careful …"
"Young Master, it's dangerous!"
A few maids from the Li family stood under the tree and raised their heads. Their faces were full of worry, and even their faces were a little pale from fright.
"It's okay, it's not high at all." Li Duan looked down and waved his hand. He threw down the cuju from a branch and said, "Go and play. If you kick the tree again, come and call me."
He jumped down from the tree and clapped his hands. When he turned around, he found a little girl standing under the porch looking at him.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?" The first to speak was the little girl. She saw Li Duan jump down from such a high tree. She was shocked at first, but when she saw him land steadily, she was surprised and envious.
Li Duan looked at her and said strangely, "I have never seen you before either."
The little girl looked at him and asked again, "Do you know martial arts?"
"Of course!" Li Duan was a little proud and said, "My martial arts is very powerful. Even the adults can't beat me!"
The little girl saw his proud look and curled her lips. She thought that Duaner was definitely more powerful than him. Duaner said in the letter last time that he could jump from the ground to the wall …
However, she wasn't sure who was more powerful between him and Duaner. She thought for a moment and said, "My little aunt is very powerful. You definitely can't beat her."
Li Duan looked at her and asked, unconvinced, "How powerful is your little aunt?"
The little girl thought for a moment and pointed to the roof at the side. She said, "My little aunt can fly to the roof in an instant!"
Li Duan looked at the high roof and felt a little guilty.
He could jump down from the roof, but he couldn't jump up from below. If he bragged now and the little girl asked him to prove it, he would lose face.
However, he didn't want to show weakness in front of this little girl. He said, "What's so difficult about that? I, Xiao Niang, can also fly to the roof in an instant."
"Then my big aunt can fly to two roofs."
"My little aunt can fly to three roofs."
"My father, my father can fly to ten roofs, a hundred roofs!"
The little girl thought for a moment. Her father had a pair of big wings and could fly very high. He must be able to reach a hundred roofs. It wasn't a lie.
"A hundred?"
Who didn't know how to brag? Anyway, she was the one who started it. Li Duan thought for a moment and said, "My master can fly to the sun."
The little girl's expression froze.
She couldn't think of anything higher than the sun.
Her father said that the sun was a big fireball. She thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it hot for your master to fly to the sun?"
"Stupid!" Li Duan looked at her and said proudly, "Can't we fly at night?"
The little girl frowned and said, "That's your master, not you …"
"Then you're not talking about you …" Li Duan looked at her and said, "I just need to fly higher than you. Can you fly to the tree?"
"… …"
The little girl ran away angrily. This bad guy bullied her. When would Duaner come back? When Duaner came back, he would be able to protect her …
Li Duan curled his lips. This little girl liked to boast so much at such a young age. When she grew up, she would definitely be a big talker.
Little Rui was the best. Her father said that in two days, she could go find Little Rui. He hadn't seen Little Rui for a long time. He wondered what she looked like now.
He ran to his room and confirmed with Li Yi that he would see Little Rui in two days. Only then did he relax.
However, he didn't know if his nose was bad these days. Why did he always smell the smell of egg fried rice on his father's body …
… …
Several days had passed since Princess Shouning's written examination to choose her husband. Tomorrow was the day of the martial examination.
The location of the martial examination was in Hibiscus Garden.
Early the next morning, other than Princess Shouning, the Empress Dowager, the Old Consort, the current Emperor, the Empress, the Noble Consort, and the Regent, the Eldest Princess, would all appear.
Of course, at that time, the civil and military officials of the court and the nobles of the capital would all enter to observe.
This was the largest event in the capital at the end of the fourth year of Jingping.
In Hibiscus Garden, Shouning looked at the clothes on the bed and said in distress, "What should I wear tomorrow?"
Yan Fei stood behind her and gently knocked her on the head. "After they finish competing tomorrow, you will have to personally go on stage. You can't wear any of these clothes."
"Ah …" Hearing this, Shouning threw herself onto the bed again and muttered, "Then I won't be pretty …"
"You, what won't you be pretty in?" Yan Fei pinched her face and said, "Go borrow a set of clothes from your sister. You can wear her old training clothes tomorrow."
Shouning climbed up from the bed and said, "Aiya, since I can't win tomorrow, I might as well wear something nice …"
Morning Dew Palace.
In front of MIngzhu was a plate of egg fried rice. The catering bureau hadn't made egg fried rice in five years, but these days, every time it was lunch, a plate would be placed in front of her.
A female official walked in from outside and bowed. "Your Highness, everything has been arranged."
MIngzhu nodded. "I understand."
The female official hesitated for a moment and asked, "But Princess, tomorrow with His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, what should we do …"
"I have my own arrangements." MIngzhu said. She picked up a spoon and began to eat.
"Yes." The female official nodded and slowly retreated.
Somewhere in the capital, a fatty was carrying a bulging bag. When he sneaked out of his house, he was stopped by a group of imperial guards.
This fatty, who had answered the first three questions correctly, had been specially instructed by his superiors not to make any mistakes. The Imperial Guard looked at him and asked, "Young Master Peng, tomorrow is the day of the combat examination. Where are you going?"
The fatty's bag fell to the ground and his face instantly turned pale.
He hugged the imperial guard's leg and cried, "I deserve to die. I'm not human. I won't sell fake goods anymore. Let me go, let me go …"
