Chapter 497 Mother-in-law strategy

There are also poems and songs in this world, but due to cultural differences, Lu Chen really couldn't accept the talents of those young nobles. Fortunately, there was no such thing as the Song Dynasty, and it was still based on personal strength. However, at a banquet, no one would foolishly fight with a sword, and basically played some small games of fighting spirit.

Of course, there are also some war games that deduce on the sand table. After all, in addition to their own strength, military strategy is also an indispensable part of making achievements. Lu Chen, who has only played many electronic games, couldn't get any interest when he looked at the "Sand Game" below, and he yawned inadvertently.

"Why, if you feel bored with us women, go down and play with them." Seeing Lu Chen's sleepy look, Ni Ruiya spoke very kindly.

But Lu Chen was frightened so much that he immediately opened the topic: "No, I just felt a little tired. The hall below seemed to be full of people. Did everyone keep playing until the dinner start?"

"Yes, it has always been like this. Moreover, for most people, there is only one chance every year, so it is worth giving them time to show off. Sometimes I can find a few good talents, such as the young man on the sand table on the third table, who have won five games in a row; but this time, there are half more people who come to attend the prayer festival dinner than in previous years, and it is estimated that he has not been able to hold on to the ten-game winning streak." Knowing that the ability of this son-in-law is the same, but Ni Ruiya, who has never seen her, can't help but want to test it and deliberately choose a powerful partner.

"Is there a reward for ten consecutive victories? It's him!" Looking in the direction pointed by the princess and mother-in-law, Lu Chen immediately recognized that the man was the talented Count who could not match him at the gate of the palace.

"Haha. You actually know the people from the Gallagher family. You win ten consecutive games or win first place in a certain game. Of course, there are rewards. More importantly, you can choose a favorite partner on the spot as your dance partner. This is a good opportunity to pursue a girl that is difficult to meet in normal times." Some surprises, but seeing the displeasure on Lu Chen's face slightly showed, I felt that this opportunity was good, and Ni Ruiya continued to guide her with great enthusiasm.

"I don't know you, and he was in trouble when he came in." He replied first, and then saw that there were many people in the hall below who would turn their eyes to the girls around them chatting with the concubines from time to time. Lu Chen, who had a big bead of sweat hanging on his head, asked, "Will there be any consequences if the selected girl refuses?"

"There is no consequence, it's just a good opportunity. The rumors about him are pretty good. Why are you troubled? Does he want to steal your girl?" Ni Ruiya seemed to be joking and stimulated Lu Chen again.

In the smile of the princess and mother-in-law, she had no idea that she was deliberately trapping Lu Chen, and she simply explained the little trouble that happened at the gate of the palace without a choice. Then she saw that the talented Count who had won another game turned his head towards him, and his eyes were full of provocation.

"Lowenstein Gallagher, just turned 21, is the only legal heir of the Grand Duke of Claytu. He was ordinary in the academy, and he might have deliberately hidden his strength. After leaving the academy at the age of sixteen, he entered his father's local army for training. When he came back to the final graduation test at the age of eighteen, there were as many medals on the right as it is now, and he was named a local baron with his own abilities. The current Count is said to have been obtained by leading people to annihilate an Imperial Scout Battalion before the royal city was besieged. Although it may be a bit unreal and not as good as you at all, among the many young people, his abilities are quite outstanding. How about it, are you interested in continuing to play with him? By the way, my daughter just came to her, no wonder she has been staring at here since she entered the court. It seems that she is showing her talents to me."

Seeing the princess and mother-in-law facing the hall keeping a calm smile, she told herself the other party's basic information quietly, pretending not to know her daughter's relationship with her, and in the end, she helped him provoke her son-in-law, Lu Chen really had the urge to hit the wall, but she could understand her mother-in-law's love for her. She could only curb the idea of ​​"grab her collar and shouting that your daughter is already mine", and replied honestly: "The teacher is strict with her. I only know how to play magic, and I have never learned this kind of game of talking about war on paper."

"Talking about war on paper? It sounds like there should be a short story. Haha, it seems that you have no optical magic, but it seems that using 'Talking about war on sand' here is more practical, and it is not good, it's not as easy as you can say." Ni Ruiya's eyes were taken back from the hall and threw them curiously on Lu Chen.

He accidentally said that he let out another word, but what Lu Chen cared more was the insight of the princess and mother-in-law. In fact, under the cultural differences, he could guess the allusions behind it. Then, when he discovered that the provocation in Luo Wenstein's eyes turned into resentment, he turned his heart to confess the tragic story of the Warring States Period that had been spoiled on the earth to please his mother-in-law. As a result, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao's elite soldiers, which made everyone around him suck and slapped his fingers.

"The total sixty-six legions are more than the total number of legions in the Kingdom. This one named Bai Qi is really worthy of the title of the King of Killing. The one named Zhao Kuo is really unfortunate. Not counting as a political victim, he was also left with such an evaluation. Oh, it's pitiful. But are you sympathetic to him? And your story and those four words seem to be a little incompatible." Ni Ruiya looked at the son-in-law with some fun. Although it was not a part of history, her intuition told her that the story was true. What's important is that this shows that Lu Chen is really an ancient family behind him than his Atlas, especially Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo and others, which obviously belong to the same category as his name.

Things in history can only end with a sentence "to be verified", because most of the records were completed by winners and later generations. Moreover, once political factors intervened, no one could explain clearly how much Zhao Kuo had. So Lu Chen, who was devoted to his own emotions, found that he had caused trouble again, so he could only explain again: there was no such thing as "paper" at that time. This statement was added by later people, just to describe it as a metaphor for empty talk about theory that cannot solve practical problems.

"That's right. Who can tell whether something has not been experienced personally? Well, since our little marquis is not plastered on paper to talk, let's go with me. Time is coming, and it's time to say hello to some important ministers." After that, Ni Ruiya stretched out her hand, and with Lu Chenxin's understanding of it, she stood up gracefully, greeted the other concubines and walked out of the box.

Afterwards, after following the princess and mother-in-law in the dinner hall, she was introduced to some powerful nobles. Only then did Lu Chen realize that this kind of social engagement was one of the tasks of the princess and the heirs. After all, in a limited time, the king and the queen could not take care of so many people, and the bustling crowd was very likely to cause danger; but this time, due to Angus' reasons, all the responsibilities were pressed on her shoulders.

It was not until this time that she realized that this mother-in-law had been completely guided by her, so she spared no effort to introduce herself in front of the major nobles. At the same time, Lu Chen also found that Ni Ruiya was the only one who was exercising the responsibilities and obligations of the princess. Obviously, her position in the harem was the dominant one.

However, just as he passed by the sand table game, a resentful look that seemed to be substantial made Lu Chen turn his head involuntarily, and then he saw Lowenstein's pair of angry eyes in the gap between the crowd.
