Chapter 297 Gathered together

  Appropriate jokes are conducive to enliven the atmosphere, but too much is not as good as this matter, and everyone present understands it.

After teasing poor Miss Corinna, Mrs. Blazer left the living room for the time being on the pretext of having something to do. Although the curious Rosalind was still holding on to Corinna, but as the character with the highest status present, it was more or less important for her to leave. It relieved Corinna's heart a lot.

   Randomly made up an excuse for Rosalind to study on her own, she turned her head and looked at Lynn reproachfully.

   "Why don't you tell me that Madam is such a lively person."

  Lin En helplessly spread her hands: "My mother is not like this usually. Now, as the only adult in the family, she has always maintained a calm and steady attitude towards us."

   "However, today is a special day. If she still maintains that posture, I think it will bring some pressure to you, and the atmosphere will not be very harmonious-she probably doesn't want this kind of thing to happen."

  Korinna was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "Sure enough, we are a family. You are in the same line of wisdom."

  For this compliment, Lynn might still be habitually courteous, but since his mother was involved, he accepted it with a smile.

   Shaking her head, Corinna adjusted her uncomfortable sitting posture because she was too nervous just now. After thinking about it, she suddenly showed a weird smile.

   "Mrs. Cai and Ms. Rosa were discussing who is the first person to arrive, right? Then, shall we guess who is the second?"

   "Huh?" Lin En was taken aback for a moment, and smiled, "You're going to bet with me again? How do I remember, you never win when you bet with me?"

   Corinna said a little angrily: "The past, the past is over, and if you haven't won before, can you not win now?"

   "After losing, gamblers often pin their hopes on the next good luck."

  “.”

   Taking a deep breath, Corinna squinted at him: "Let me tell you, this time is different."

   "In the past, we gambled against each other because you were too good at controlling me, but for today's bet, it is useless for you to know me, because I have already arrived, and the next person cannot be me."

   "Now, the comparison is your understanding of the two of them."

  When she said this, she already laughed, as if she had already held the banner of victory in her hands, extremely cunning.

   "Tsk." Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, "Smiling like this, you probably don't care about whether your guess is right or not, but that no matter who I guessed, you can go talk to the other one."

   "That's right, what's the matter!" Corinna admitted this very frankly, and then provocatively said, "Just say whether you can guess or not!"

At the end, she added a threat: "It's okay if you don't guess, then I will have to tell them that you don't know them at all-you must know that for a woman, a man who cares is unwilling to know herself. But it's a very sad thing."

  “.”

  Lin En sighed: "Hearing what you said, this seems to be an unsolvable dead end."

   "Guessing one won't work, and the probability of guessing two is too low. If you don't guess, it's another problem."

   "Yo hoo." Corinna seemed shocked, "It's really difficult for you to have a problem, then I'll have another drink to celebrate later."

   "There is no need to open the wine bottle before the game is over." Smiling, Lynn said, "I guess the next person to come is our Lady Duchess."

"Huh?"

   This answer made Corinna a little unexpected.

  She asked curiously: "Why do you think it's her? Didn't Madam say just now that such a confident woman will definitely want to be the last one to come out on stage and overwhelm all the previous ones?"

   "Has anyone ever told you that the finale actually refers to the penultimate one."

  ".That doesn't matter! What matters is, why would you guess it was her?"

   "It's very simple." Lin En squinted and smiled, "Because I didn't deal with official business today."

"Uh-huh?"

  A string of question marks appeared on Corinna's head: "What do you mean?"

   Facing this question, Lynn's eyes flashed a few traces of love: "People who have just come into contact with idiots will become idiots after all."

   Rosalind looked up suddenly: "Who says I'm a fool! I'm going to be angry!"

   Corina: "."

Laughing, he stretched out his hand and pushed down Rosalind who had stood up. Lynn explained: "Although today is a holiday for everyone in the Rhineland, it doesn't mean that this country will also have a holiday. Someone needs to look after it."

   "But today, not to mention the ministers, I'm not even here. In this way, only our majesty will fight alone."

   "Fortunately, today's business is not too much, but according to His Majesty's meticulous and focused personality, it may take a long time. As for how long. I just hope that we can see her before dinner."

   "Is that so?"

   After thinking about it carefully, Corinna felt that what Lynn said was indeed reasonable, and then she thought about it again, and she felt a little distressed.

   It's not that I feel sorry for Charlotte, but for Lynn.

As a king, Charlotte usually does not need to take over various affairs in person. She only needs to make choices in the general direction, or take the blame to resist pressure. The real course of action is set by the cabinet ministers. and implemented.

   As the prime minister, Lynn is naturally the one who is most likely to be devastated.

   Throughout the year, only today can I rest.

   Sighing, she reached out and held the man's hand: "Thank you."

   Lynn smiled and shook his head.

  Korinna sighed again, "It's been a long time since the war. Judging from the recent situation of Rhine, it has also stabilized. After it stabilizes, you should be able to have more free time."

   "Is it stable?" Lynn smiled lightly, "No, it should be said that our kingdom is thriving."

   "However, it is precisely because of the prosperity that we need to work even more."

   "There may be no one on a ship moored in the port, but on a ship that is sailing, from the captain to the sailors, everyone must be vigilant at all times—no one wants the ship to be toppled and annihilated in a storm, thereby threatening themselves."

  “.”

   Corinna shook her head helplessly.

  Although she has tried many times, just like a bet, her persuasion has never succeeded, but she will be convinced by the other party's theory.

   "It doesn't matter to you, anyway," she said softly, "don't hurt your body because of being tired."

"Um."

  Lyn nodded slightly.

   But just as he was about to say something again, the door of the room was pushed open again.

  The two of them realized something in their hearts at the same time, and looked back together.

  The person at the door is not an attendant who comes to report the arrival of a guest—he is sweating profusely following behind the Duchess.

   "Good evening, everyone."

  Irene stood at the door with her hands in her arms, greeting gentlemen and ladies very familiarly.

   Today, she was dressed unexpectedly plainly, only wearing a conservative off-white long dress. At a glance, she didn't have any luxurious jewelry, and she didn't even wear a family crest on her body.

  Amid everyone's greetings and gazes, she walked slowly to the edge of the sofa, and instead of talking to Lynn or Cicorina, she greeted Rosalind who was sitting next to Lynn.

   "Hey Rosa, how are you doing?"

  She bent down, pinched Rosalind's face with a smile, and said in surprise, "Oh, have you gained weight?"

   Rosalind's small face trembled, she quickly held her face in her hands, and stared wide-eyed in horror: "Really? How could it be! I obviously only eat five pieces of candy a day!"

"That's right, it's indeed a little less than the previous ten yuan. That may be my illusion." Irene said with an undiminished smile, "Well, why don't you stand up and let me hug you, let me see Are you fat?"

   Rosalind immediately stood up obediently, and let the woman who was much taller than her hug her waist.

   "How about it, no! No fat!"

   "No, it should be my illusion, sorry." Irene said apologetically.

   Rosalind waved her hands repeatedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to sit down again.

   But at this time, Irene, who had just hugged her from behind, pulled her along and put her on the double sofa on the other side, pushed her down, and then sat down on Rosalind's position just now.

  The whole process was smooth and natural, and Rosalind, who didn't find any problem at all, was still slapping the chest that was not far behind the opponent.

   "Fortunately, fortunately it's an illusion."

  At this moment, Lynn and Corinna were deeply worried about the future of their sister/sister-in-law.

  Irene didn't feel anything, she just turned her head and looked at the two holding hands with a smile: "It seems that the two who have been here recently are not bad."

  If she hadn't stared straight at the hands of the two, then Lynn might really feel that she was concerned about herself instead of thinking about how to chop off her hand.

   After thinking for a moment, Lin En covered her hand with the other free hand without leaving any traces, and said calmly, "It's okay, how about you."

"I, I'm not doing well." Irene sighed suddenly, "At the palace dinner a few days ago, I confronted people openly, but I couldn't do anything about that person. I was so angry that I didn't sleep for three days. I feel good."

   "." Lynn was silent, not knowing what to say.

  From that day to today, there have not been three days!

  Compared to Lynn's speechless, Corinna has something to say, and even her tone is quite excited: "Is it true that you haven't slept for three days?"

  Her schadenfreude almost overflowed.

   Surprisingly, instead of refuting as usual, Irene also admitted: "It's not three days, but these few nights, I really didn't sleep well."

   "After all, this person who confronted me, in order to compensate me, harassed me and tortured me all night long."

   While talking, Irene looked at Corinna whose face was gradually turning red, and said with deep meaning.

   "In this situation, who can sleep, it's so annoying. You say so, Miss Corinna."

   "Hehehe."

   Corinna responded with a half-smile, but secretly exerted force on her hands, especially her nails.

  “.”

  Although this situation had been expected a long time ago, at this moment, Lynn really had no way to solve this problem.

   After all, they didn't quarrel, all the words were meant to be pointed, and the yin and yang were weird. If I intervened, I would definitely be set on the spot - although it is almost the same now.

  Just as Lynn was thinking about how to calm down the flames of war, Rosalind, who was a little bored by the side, yawned lazily, swallowed, and suddenly found that her mouth was a little dry, so she wanted to drink some water.

At this time, she suddenly found that there was no tea in front of the two ladies, so she brought two new cups in a hurry, and said, "Brother Lynn, why don't you give sister Irene and Corinna Sister and the others pour tea, have you forgotten the hospitality taught by your mother?"

  When she said this, she said it with a smile, and she smiled very proudly, as if she finally found out that her brother who had an accident had finally revealed the tail of a fox, and she was about to grab it with her hand.

  Lin En also seemed to be really grabbed by her pigtail, his body was stiff, and his face was slightly numb.

  Because he probably knows what will happen next.

"Huh? Hospitality?" Irene narrowed her eyes, and her eyes suddenly became a little dangerous. Immediately afterwards, she concealed the danger with a smile, "Well, indeed, it is true that I forgot to serve Miss Corina. Mistake, Lynn."

   "Our guests can only ride in those poorly made carriages. The journey is bumpy, and I think they will feel a little uncomfortable. After getting out of the car, I definitely need a cup of tea to ease it."

"Sorry, the road in Catalena is very good. When I came here, I didn't experience many bumps." Corinna retorted mockingly, "Since I didn't feel it, and you can describe it in such detail, shouldn't it be Yes, it is your personal experience."

She suddenly pretended to show an unbelievable expression: "Ah, is our lord the duke's daily life so simple and unpretentious? He actually sat in a carriage that would bump up and down in Catalina. You are so simple, it must be for our sake." The country can develop well, so even if you are an aristocrat, you should still lead by example and keep things simple."

   "Lyn." She said slightly accusingly, "It's really rude not to prepare tea for our 'plain' Duke."

   "Tsk tsk tsk." Irene was still smiling, but the arc in her eyes gradually calmed down, "You"

   "Ahem—"

   Lynn finally spoke out.

  Seeing that the flames of war are gradually turning from the dark side to the bright side, if he doesn't make a move, the two of them will probably really fight.

  "I" sighed, and he said helplessly, "The tea is running out, I'll go get some more."

   "No way." Irene reached out and grabbed the man who was about to get up, and said with a smile, "The guest is here. As the master of the house, how can you leave? I'll just go."

"you?"

   Corinna sneered: "You should sit here honestly, after all, you are an outsider, how could you know where to put the tea?"

   "Oh? Hehe." Irene covered her lips and chuckled, "Sorry, I really know that."

"After all, I used to come here to play a lot when I was a child." After a pause, she suddenly smiled more happily, "By the way, Miss Corinna, do you want to hear about the embarrassing things about Lynn's childhood, about this , I have a lot of storage.”

"you"

   "Crunch—"

  The door was pushed open, everyone's words stopped abruptly, and they all turned their heads.

"Night"

   Wrapped in the wind and snow, Her Lady Queen shrank her head subconsciously, and said a catchphrase she used to say.

   "Hold, I'm sorry. I seem to be late?"

   "No, not sooner or later."

   Lynn took his hands full of fingernail marks away from the two ladies, clapped his hands and said.

   "Okay, everyone."

   "It's time for dinner."
