Chapter 12 Harem Module Card Draw Rewards: Blue General Cards...

"But if we don't do this, I'm afraid the Lin family will take advantage of our merits and Yan'er's influence to cause trouble... Seeing Yan'er so heartbroken and in tears, I, as her mother, also feel terrible," Yuan Hao sighed.

"Your Majesty is doing all this for the sake of the Phoenix Kingdom. The Second Princess has been filial since childhood and will surely understand Your Majesty's difficulties," the attendant comforted him.

Yuan Hao: "I hope so. I hope Feng'er won't resent me for treating our child this way in the afterlife. I only made Yan'er stay in seclusion to reflect on her mistakes for her own good... Now that Yan'er has come out and her temperament has become a bit more composed, it's time to give her something to do."

Meanwhile, Yuan Yan, Yuan Jing, and the others left the main hall one after another.

Yuan Yan walked quickly, but she deliberately stopped to wait for Lu Yingkan behind her. "In my palace, she is merely a lowly servant, and I can no longer address the head of the Lu family as my mother-in-law."

Yuan Yan casually stabbed Lu Yingkan, who was already dismissed and punished, in the heart, making her already unsightly face turn green and red.

"Your Highness may call me whatever you wish, but I am not worthy of such a title." Lu Yingkan said with a stern face, not wanting to acknowledge her, but he had no choice but to comply due to his status and manners.

"No matter what, I am still the Prince of Yue, personally appointed by His Majesty. Marrying your son as a concubine is not an insult to him." The head of the Lu family looked gloomy, and anyone who didn't know better would think he was dissatisfied with His Majesty's decree.

When Lu Yingkan heard her mention His Majesty, he could only force a smile and say, "This humble one would not dare. It is a blessing for the Lu family that my son can enter the Prince of Yue's residence."

"Oh, right, Patriarch Lu, don't forget to send your son's dowry directly to the Prince Yue's residence later. Don't make a mistake."

"Let Patriarch Lu know that if even one or two pieces of the trunks are missing on the way from Prince Qi's residence to here, I will report it to the authorities." Yuan Yan, however, was still not satisfied and continued to provoke her.

"...Your Highness, rest assured, the Lu family will not be short of this dowry. I will have everything delivered before Shenshi tomorrow."

"Furthermore, Yue'er cannot make the decision regarding the broken engagement. I hope Your Highness will consider the dowry and not make things difficult for my son." Lu Yingkan was furious at her thief-like attitude. He felt stifled but could only suppress his anger and speak kindly to Yuan Yan.

"Heh, that's more like it. I won't trouble Patriarch Lu with matters concerning my inner court. Thank you very much, Patriarch Lu."

Yuan Yan enjoyed seeing Lu Yingkan look down on her, yet still have to bow down to her. Hearing this, she turned and left, satisfied.

She didn't care at all how angry Lu Yingkan was with her.

"Host, you've won a resounding victory in today's battle! The only legitimate son of the Lu family has married you as a servant, and even the Empress Dowager feels guilty towards you. Although you didn't severely punish Prince Qi, you did punish the officials in his household, embarrassing him and suppressing his power. No matter how you look at it, it's a brilliant comeback!" the system said happily.

"I never intended for Mother Empress to severely punish my eldest sister for this matter."

"The responsibility for the broken engagement and remarriage lies primarily with the Lu family. As long as my elder sister pushes all the blame onto the Lu family and insists that she knew nothing about it, Mother will have nothing to say."

“If I hadn’t revealed the matter of the Qiongzhen Pavilion, I’m afraid my eldest sister would still be pretending to be completely unaware in front of the Empress, continuing to play the role of a loving sister to me.” Yuan Yan was perfectly aware of this.

[So the host's handling of the situation was brilliant; I felt so relieved watching it, hehe~]

[Also, congratulations to the host for successfully striking at the Qi King's forces and gaining the handsome Lu Lingyue, thus unlocking the harem module.]

The system then asked, "[Since this is the first time the harem module has been activated, you are rewarded with 1000 achievement points and one card draw. Would you like to use them immediately?]"

"Card drawing?" Yuan Yan stopped in his tracks. "What card drawing? Why didn't you mention it before?"

[Previously, because the host had just bound to the system and hadn't officially received any rewards, it wasn't mentioned. Now that the host has activated the harem module, according to the system rules, you can obtain a valuable card-drawing opportunity to draw from the corresponding character card pool in this world. What cards you ultimately obtain depends entirely on your luck.]

[The system has different card pool sections such as Harem, Famous Ministers, and Items. The host can choose any one of these pools, draw a card, and obtain the corresponding item.]

"Go ahead and draw, use it in the Famous Ministers card pool."

Men are everywhere, why waste the system's card draw chances? Yuan Yan didn't care about men, nor did she care about the system's various items with varying degrees of usefulness. On the contrary, because of the original owner, she was currently in dire need of talent, especially civil officials. Upon hearing this, she hardly hesitated before using her card draw chances on famous ministers.

"Okay, host, I'll arrange it for you now," the system said cheerfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spinning wheel appeared out of thin air in front of Yuan Yan.

[Alright, host, I'll start spinning, and you can tell me to stop. Whichever one you draw is the one you get, and you can't go back on your word, okay?] the system instructed.

Yuan Yan walked to the carriage and found that the driver couldn't see the large roundabout in front of her at all, so she got into the carriage without changing her expression.

"Stop," she said casually.

The system said the next second.

[Congratulations, host! You're lucky! You've successfully obtained a blue general card!]

[System cards are categorized by level from highest to lowest: gold, purple, blue, green, white... This general card is blue, which is quite good. It has high growth potential; the host can take a look.]

Yuan Yan reached out and took the falling card from the air.

[General Card]

Name:? ? ?

Wisdom: 51

Strength: 63 (Can be improved)

Ambition: 12

Loyalty: ? ? ?

...

Yuan Yan immediately noticed the series of question marks above.

What's with these question marks?

[That refers to unknown information, which the host can only learn about by actually interacting with the other party.]

"You say this card is good, but why do I see that the character's stats aren't very high? In your system's eyes, is this level of character considered good?" Yuan Yan frowned as he looked at the character with the highest stat, Martial Power, which was only 63.

[For hosts like this, card attributes are not static. Some cards have reached their peak stats, while others, being younger characters, can continue to grow, altering card stats and even advancing in level.]

"For example, the card you drew is a high-potential card that is still growing. This general has a very high aptitude for martial arts. Even without much training, he has already reached a strength value of 63. If you can train him a little, his final growth will definitely satisfy you," the system quickly explained.

[And you might not know this, host, but values ​​like ambition are actually better kept low. Otherwise, subjects with excessively high ambition and low loyalty are highly likely to rebel in the future.]

“Is that so? I don’t think so. Ambition can sometimes be a driving force for a person’s progress. As a master, making good use of the ambition of your subjects can sometimes help you get the desired results faster.” Yuan Yan had a different opinion on this.
