The door opened, and Princess Connaught looked at Jiang Lu with restraint and curiosity.

As Cuchulainn's titular father, Jiang Lu and Dectiel attended the dinner together, and of course they had briefly come into contact.

And at the banquet, Jiang Lu had actually left a deep impression on Princess Connaught without knowing it.

It had long been heard that Cú Chulainn was Ulster's arrogant warrior, so Princess Connaught never felt the slightest surprise at the empty eyes of Cu Chulainn, who arrived early.

So when she saw that Cu Chulainn, who had left such a stereotypical impression on her, was respectful in front of Jiang Lu, she would naturally wonder where Jiang Lu was sacred and what was so extraordinary.

Seeing Jiang Lu coming to her at this time, Princess Connaught was a little nervous while being puzzled, in her opinion, maybe the other party was on behalf of Cú Chulainn's mother and came to inspect her, so she was very cautious.

"Good evening, uncle."

Princess Connaught politely opened the door and invited Jiang Lu in, and then asked tentatively:

"It turns out that your family is so harmonious, do you usually call Cú Chulainn a baby?"

Hearing this, Jiang Luhu, who had just sat down, was shocked: "Don't be disgusting." ”

"Huh?" Princess Connaught couldn't help but wonder.

Jiang Lu reacted at this time, the other party probably misunderstood something, thinking that calling her baby was an affectionate title from the elders to the juniors.

Thinking of this, a sense of guilt suddenly surged into Jiang Lu's heart.

This. It's a bit tricky.

But fortunately, Jiang Lu is a person who is good at convincing himself and reconciling with himself.

He thought about it, although the seniority is higher than the other party, but everyone's actual age is actually about the same, and they are essentially the same age.

Since they are peers, they are not so sinful.

The young father-in-law is not out of the question.

"Hmm" Jiang Lu changed his words: "Yes, I usually call him that, don't mind." ”

"Of course I wouldn't mind." Princess Connaught smiled implicitly, then sat down opposite Jiang Lu and asked, "So, is there anything important about my uncle's late night visit?" ”

"I do matter."

"Huh?"

"Oh no." Although it is awkward not to say strange things, Jiang Lu still patiently proceeds step by step: "The main thing is to come to see you, you know, Cú Chulainn is a very eccentric child, it is difficult for such a person to meet a partner who fits his soul, so I have to listen to what you think of him." ”

Sure enough, it was Princess Connaught who had come to inspect me, and thought to herself.

"What do I think of him, let me think about it"

Princess Connaught replied politely and deservedly:

"In my opinion, he was a very strong man, he was brave and invincible on the battlefield, and he won the respect of many people in Connaught, including my mother."

"Powerful." Jiang Lu was a little speechless, and said in his heart What kind of evaluation is this, you are a blind date and not a strong man, does it have anything to do with your life whether he is strong or not?

"Yes, powerful." Princess Connaught nodded: "There is no doubt that he is a rare warrior, a hero who can leave a strong mark in history." ”

Jiang Lu couldn't hold back, and directly made his words clear: "But this has nothing to do with marriage, right?" What I want to know is what you think of his character, in other words, do you think you will be happy when you get married? ”

"This"

Princess Connaught wanted to speak again and again, and after a long time, she shook her head:

"I don't know, I don't know anything about his character because he doesn't give people a chance to get close to him at all, he's so proud.

After a few days of getting along, I found out that he was more interested in Connaught's military and even his war horse than in me, which made me a little frustrated.

To be honest, I don't know if I'll be happy if I'm going to marry him, but I do know for sure that I'm not expecting much from that outcome at the moment. ”

"After all, it's a marriage" Hearing the other party's true thoughts, Jiang Lu sighed: "You are all just victims of power." ”

"Yes." Princess Connaught said thoughtfully, "But unfortunately, neither I nor he have the ability to change all this. ”

Indeed, an alliance that is not secured by a transaction that is rooted in blood, such as marriage, is not secure.

Even if there were, it wouldn't be reliable, but at least it would be more reassuring.

"In that way, I can almost foresee your future unpleasantness." Jiang Lu smiled bitterly.

"But there's no way around it, and I think it's the best deal to trade my life for Connaught's prosperity." Princess Connaught seemed to have seen it a long time ago: "In front of the kingdom, personal gains and losses are not important. ”

"No problem." Jiang Lu nodded in agreement, and then changed his words: "But to be honest, your life is gloomy, but his life is not necessarily without brilliance." ”

Princess Connaught was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I mean, he will definitely become the king of Ulster in the future, and naturally he can marry someone else, and he can keep a few mistresses no matter how poor he is, but you will have to stay alone for the rest of your life." Jiang Lu said calmly.

“.” Princess Connaught's face changed, and an indescribable sadness and helplessness filled her eyes.

She didn't even have time to think about whether this was the word of the elders, as if she had been crushed by this almost foreseeable future.

"But. . . So what can be done? Princess Connaught sighed.

"yes, so what can we do?" Jiang Lu repeated.

Princess Connaught tiredly propped her chin with her hands, and said weakly: "I don't think you came to inspect me at all, but to make me disappointed in this marriage. ”

Jiang Lu blinked: "I didn't come to inspect you in the first place." ”

"Then you are"

"Just to come and see you, because you didn't interact at all during the dinner, and his mother was worried, so let me come and see." Jiang Lu replied.

"Aunt is such a gentle person"

Princess Connaught looked at Jiang Lu with some envy:

"You must have a very happy marriage with your aunt, right?"

"It's okay." Jiang Lu thought for a while: "Anyway, it will definitely be a hundred times more comfortable than the life you will live in the future." ”

"That's right," Princess Connaught's eyes darkened.

Perhaps out of unwillingness, or perhaps because she was still lucky about her marriage, she tried to make a final struggle, trying to figure out why Jiang Lu and Dectiel's marriage was so happy.

She was sure that there must be some secret that the two had such a big age gap, and that they could still be so harmonious when they had a barrier bigger than her and Cú Chulainn.

And this secret is naturally on Jiang Lu, who even the proud Cú Chulainn respects.

Thinking so, Princess Connaught asked, "Speaking of which, I wonder what kind of person you are?" ”

"Huh? Why did you suddenly ask me? Jiang Lu was a little surprised.

I haven't even started to do it, why are you starting to throw yourself into the net?

So how do you show that my marksmanship is accurate?

Princess Connaught naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and replied, "I just want to know more about you." ”

"That's not a joke." Jiang Lu said this, but his heart became excited.

The classic lines are here!

"Is there anything taboo about that?" Princess Connaught was puzzled and nervously explained, "Even I heard that my aunt used to be a very introverted person, just like me now, but when I look at her today, I feel that she is very cheerful, so I want to know how you managed to make her change and manage her marriage so well." ”

"Oh, this one." Jiang Lu smiled mysteriously: "Because she has been developed by me." ”

"Development?"

Princess Connaught tilted her head in confusion: "It refers to tapping potential. Or something? ”

Jiang Lu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was no problem to say so, so he bowed his head and said: "It's about the same, it does tap a lot of her potential." ”

"Is this the secret of running a marriage?"

Princess Connaught muttered.

Jiang Lu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't seem to mean to go on, and didn't seem to plan to tell herself how to operate, Princess Connaught was also a little anxious, and simply asked bluntly:

"Then uncle, can you teach me?"

"How is this taught?" Jiang Lu scratched his head: "This one depends on talent." ”

Hearing this, Princess Connaught became colorful.

As a child who received Connaught's strictest and most elite education, she thinks that she is the second talent, but Connaught does not have the first talent, she is very confident, as long as it is something that humans can do, she can do it.

So she said firmly: "I think I have talent!" I'll definitely be able to. ”

"But it's not up to you to decide whether you have talent or not, you have to have mastered this ability, and I have the final say." Jiang Lu said proudly.

Princess Connaught was very unconvinced, and said stubbornly: "Then let me show you, and let you admit that I am talented!" ”

"And how do you want to show it?" Jiang Lu asked with a smile.

"Please develop me! Develop me just like your aunt did! Princess Connaught stood up and bowed: "Please! ”

Jiang Lu let out a long breath, also stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced to the window, and said slowly and earnestly:

"My cultivation is very hard."

Princess Connaught understood that Jiang Lu had already agreed to teach her, and immediately became excited, waving her fist and excitedly: "I can!" I'll definitely be able to! ”

Ten minutes later.

"I can't. I really can't."

Princess Connaught covered her face and kept retreating.

Jiang Lu rebuked solemnly: "Is this your determination? Is that all you have to say? What a disappointment for me! ”

"But. . . But," said Princess Connaught, who was pitiful in her tone, could not understand her words.

"Listen, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach! If you want to be happy in the future, this is something you must experience and master! ”

"But now it's my stomach that is being eaten by you."

"Shhhh Don't talk, feel every movement with your heart! ”

Feeling Jiang Lu's strict teaching, of course Princess Connaught also knew that Jiang Lu was doing this for her good, not to mention that this was what she took the initiative to ask, whether it was for face or for her own future, she knew that she had to persevere.

So she gritted her teeth: "Good! Please be sure to spare no effort and teach me unreservedly! ”

"Don't worry." Jiang Lu was relieved: "Since I promised you, then I won't hide my secrets." ”

"Good!"

"Attention, watch my next move!"

"What will happen?"

"It's going to be handsome!"

Early morning.

Jiang Lu took his hands again and stood in front of the window, bathing in the morning light.

His back dragged long on the ground, just enough to cover Princess Connaught, who was still gasping for breath.

Facing the sun, Princess Connaught could only see Jiang Lu's dark silhouette.

"Uncle." She said tiredly, "Am I qualified?" ”

"Hmm"

"Great"

Princess Connaught smiled with satisfaction, finally letting go of her obsession, and seemed to be about to fall into a deep sleep.

But just when she closed her eyes, Jiang Lu suddenly said:

"But unfortunately, child, I don't think your marriage will be happy in the future."

Hearing this, Princess Connaught, who was originally peaceful, suddenly widened her eyes and sat up from the bed: "Why? Isn't that still going to work? ”

"No, it's not that you can't."

Jiang Lu sighed, came to the bed and sat down with a melancholy face, patted her back comfortingly, and said with a little apology:

"Blame me, blame me for remembering now."

"What? Are you saying it's bad for us to be like this? Princess Connaught was a little flustered for no reason, and subconsciously defended Jiang Lu: "No, no, I'm very happy, you are really powerful, and I won't tell anyone about this matter, it won't affect you." ”

"No, that's not what I meant."

Jiang Lu pretended to be distressed and explained:

"I mean, while you've learned a lot, it also means that you're starting too high right now.

It's not that I'm bragging about anything, but for people like me, you can't find a second one in the world, in other words, it's hard for you to surpass what you get today. ”

After a pause, Jiang Lu shook his head: "No, it should be said that it is impossible." ”

"How could it be. How can this be"

Princess Connaught understood what Jiang Lu meant, and lowered her head unacceptably, pulling her hair with a dejected face.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

This quote perfectly explains Princess Connaught's current situation.

Human beings have human limits, gods have the limits of gods, and Jiang Yu has Jiang Yu's limits.

And the limit of Jiang Law is equivalent to the limit of the universe!

If there is a creator in the universe, then the creator is undoubtedly generous enough to give Jiang Lu his tools of crime.

Under such conditions, even if Jiang Lu only exerts three percent of his strength, this is far beyond the limit that human beings can reach, and no matter how strong Cú Chulainn is, it is impossible to break through such a realm.

"It's a pity, but you'll probably never be satisfied."

Jiang Lu said sadly.

"How could it be. How did it come to be."

Princess Connaught was still muttering mechanically.

"So in the future, you will unconsciously compare me with me, and in this way, you will become more and more unhappy."

Jiang Lutu poor dagger sees:

"In my opinion, let's think about it again, there are other ways to secure an alliance, it doesn't have to be a marriage, maybe you should spend time looking for someone who matches your soul, as long as there is really love, then even if it's just unsatisfactory, it's not unbearable."

But at this moment, Princess Connaught suddenly raised her head: "No! There must be a marriage! ”

"You kid. Why don't you listen to persuasion? Jiang Lu couldn't help but have a headache.

If you don't change your mind like this, isn't your efforts in vain?

Unexpectedly, Princess Connaught continued: "As long as you don't marry Cú Chulainn, wouldn't it be good?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Aren't you also one of Ulster's representatives?" Princess Connaught said solemnly: "In this case, my marriage to you is the same. ”

“？” Jiang Lu was numb: "That's not how it is counted, right?"

"Even if it's not that way, it has to be that way."

Princess Connaught inherited Queen Maeve's strength, and perhaps at unimportant moments, she behaved mildly, but when it mattered, she showed a kind of momentum that would not give up until she achieved her goal:

"I'll tell my mother that she has a way to do it, and you don't need to worry about it."

Hearing this, Jiang Lu, who realized that he had gotten rid of it, panicked: "Wait a minute. Don't be impulsive."

"I'm not impulsive."

Princess Connaught said unquestionably as she dressed:

"It's just that I'm pretty sure now that I can't leave you!"

After a pause, she added:

"And it."

Good night
