Chapter 9 Power and Money in the Treacherous Political Situation

19days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
After thinking for a while, Sheila mentioned a place

"I can't guess the long-term things! But in the near term, I think it's for the Fortress of Solomon!"

"What does Solomon Fortress have to do with this place?"

"Did you forget, Daxiu, this time the Solomon Fortress was destroyed by an earthquake, and the empire recovered lost land and rebuilt this fortress! But Daxiu, you are the deputy consul in charge of several provinces west of Solomon Fortress! Your reconstruction work is bound to be indispensable, you understand."

"I didn't expect that this so-called deputy consul was actually a fat consul! The emperor has arranged a good position for me!"

Sheila understood what she meant very well. If the empire wanted to rebuild Solomon Fortress, it would naturally be necessary to purchase a large amount of stone, steel, food and other materials. The cost of it must be astronomical.

As the deputy chief of the three border defense provinces, I will definitely be sent to take charge of this matter

Just the purchase of raw materials, as long as I blink or yawn, it will seriously affect the income of some people. No wonder these businessmen who have mastered the lifeline of the empire's economy are busy showing goodwill to me.

"Let's bet, if I'm not wrong, they will invite Rosa and the others to dance later, and after a round of dance, we will definitely receive a very expensive gift!"

"That's not possible. The sucking mouth is soft. I have to remind Rosa and the others quickly!"

"I'm afraid it's too late..."

Sheila pointed to the hall, and just as I was talking about this with Sheila, the dance party had already begun

That Kali

Cass had invited Rosa to dance, and the two of them walked around the dance hall.

"It's really a big trouble!"

It’s not that I am so honest that I don’t accept bribes, but because I don’t want to be too close to them after listening to Brigitte’s advice. The most important thing is that if I take advantage of others, I have to do things for others. I have too many enemies. How many people in the empire want me to choke to death if I drink water. If my butt is not clean, it will definitely be very ugly.

"Look at your frowning look, it's not that scary!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just annoying! After the dance, if that guy gives Rosa a string of necklaces, he will definitely accept it with Rosa's personality. What reason do you want me to tell her to refuse someone to give money is of course a good thing, but now there are so many eyes staring at me, I don't want to cause trouble for myself anymore."

When I said these words to Sheila, I felt extremely conflicted

Sheila's insightful and unique insights are originally a good helper

Men are sometimes so contradictory. They usually like machoism at home. They hope that women at home should not use their brains and listen to their own things. When they encounter problems that they cannot solve, they also hope that the person next to them can make plans for themselves and share part of the responsibility for themselves.

Sheila is undoubtedly very suitable, if not what Ragus said before leaving

"Woman of unknown origin"

When this thought came out, the thorn that Lagus left in my heart began to hurt now.

If it weren't for this thorn and Sheila's transformation, I wouldn't be happy, but now it makes me feel even more suspicious.

I was a little afraid to ask her for advice, because when Sheila talked to me about these things, her expression and tone completely turned into another person

"Actually you don't need to worry about this! The reconstruction of Solomon Fortress is a big piece of fat, and many people are watching it! Even if you want to get this big pie and be responsible for this matter, it is probably not so easy! If they want to get benefits from it, it will probably be in vain..."

Sheila didn't notice the strange thing in my heart, and she still said to herself, her eyes flashing with wise light from time to time

Her analysis was thorough and clear, but the more I listened, the colder I felt that she was getting further and further away from the Sheila I knew.

In the past, she was just a beautiful and smart girl, with power and political intrigue. Her abilities in this aspect were blank for her.

On the dance floor, Emperor Ola threw the queen aside again and danced a two-person ballroom dance with Aunt Brigitte, which caused everyone to applause. I didn't pay attention to these.

Queen Lianna was left alone by the emperor, and she could watch the two dance with a smile. I didn't think about the queen's powerful forbearance.

Rosa and Carly

After Kas finished his dance, as Sheila said, he received a pair of expensive diamond earrings.

Rosa accepted it happily, and I was not worried about it. Ruyue did not accept anyone's invitation and quietly left the stage at the beginning of the dance. I did not sigh at her fate.

Actually, I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to other things all night

My mood was occupied by Sheila's huge transformation

"Is Sheila a woman of unknown origin? Will Sheila be bad for me? Is this possible? What's going on?"

One question mark after another firmly occupied my heart. I no longer pay attention to anything else. I just want to know what happened to Sheila, which made her change so drastically.

Sheila has changed, I know, because I can no longer deceive myself

Maybe at the right time, I should have a good talk with Sheila...

After the dance party, I returned to the bench in the living room of my home, and I was alone and i was in a daze for a long time.

Next to Rosa, Xuezhi, Little Christine and Xuecha were excitedly dismantling the gift they just received

When the dance ended today, the queen sent someone to give us a lot of gifts, and even Xueyi received one

Tonight's dance was held completely for Brigitte. The emperor was stuck with Brigitte all night. Although Queen Lianna pretended to be like a person who was fine, I guess that she must have felt her own crisis, otherwise she would not have shown goodwill to me so much and wined me over.

What's funny is that I want to use my return to the queen to relieve my difficult situation, but the person who caused me, the crisis in the future, is the Aunt Brigitte who helped me the most

"If you please the Queen, if you offend Aunt Grace again, it would be really not worth the loss!"

The dance party ended tonight, and the aunt did not come back, so she stayed with Emperor Ola

Tonight, I didn't imagine what would happen between them, because I knew the result of the guess would only make me even more uncomfortable

The thing that I have the most headache now is not Grace or the Queen's business, but some doubts about the person next to me.

I really want to ask Sheila why she has never mentioned her family's affairs for more than ten years, why she never goes back to her hometown to see, why has there been such a big change recently... One reason leads to countless whys, I have too many whys in my heart, but I don't know how to speak

"Zhizhi, do you see if these earrings match this set of clothes?"

Get the new clothes given by the queen, Kali

After returning home, Rosa immediately changed the jewelry given by Mr. Cass, put it on as soon as possible, and posed in front of the mirror, and kept looking at it.

Little Christine next to her didn't know what she said in Xueyi's ear, but she chased her and ran around the room.

I suddenly sighed, if Sheila was like Rosa or Xuezhi, a girl without scheming and not very smart, I might not have the troubles I am now, but if Sheila was really a brainless girl, would I like her? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but Qiang Er

"Da Xiu, what's wrong with you today since Aunt Brigitte left, your eyelid color has been ugly."

My silence was obviously out of place with the lively surrounding environment. Sheila immediately felt something strange about me and immediately came over to ask me.

"Thinking about something"

I really want to tell everything to Sheila, but I don’t know where to start. I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing, which arouses the hidden pain in Sheila’s heart and stabs her

"It would be great if the adoptive father and Anda were still there, they would definitely teach me how to do it."

I touched my pocket and felt the hardness of the ring with my fingers. Maybe I took advantage of the opportunity to hand over the ring to Sheila this time, so I can solve all this

"Come with me!"

I glanced at Rosa, and she and Xuezhi commented in front of themselves in the mirror, but didn't notice this

Holding Sheila's hand, I went to the bedroom on the top floor and closed the door

"There is something I have kept on you for a long time and I have always wanted to give it to you, but I don't have a chance"

"What is it"

"Close your eyes!"

Looking at my mysterious appearance, Sheila smiled and closed her eyes.

I took out the ring, grabbed Sheila's hand, and carefully put it on her ring finger

" ah!"

Opening my eyes, I found Sheila's face with joy, and she couldn't let go of her hands and touched the ruby ​​embedded in the ring.

"Actually, I wanted to wear this ring for you for a long time, but there has been too many things happening during this period, and I have never had a chance." Looking at the ring Kayula gave me in Shila's hand, I was really mixed with emotion. Kayula should have returned to the Demon City now. Slo is dead. With her current strength, she should be the new queen. She has reached the top of power. Are she still happy now? Think about Cayula, and then look at the two most powerful women in the empire: Ruyue and the Queen. Sometimes I really sigh: being in the royal family is not a very happy thing.

"I've been waiting for this ring for many years..."

Sheila lowered her head, with tears on her eyelashes

But I felt a sense of laughter and crying. I gave the ring to Sheila half for testing, but the other reason was to fulfill her promise to Kayula. Unexpectedly, Sheila misunderstood that I wanted to formally propose to her.

Although I am willing to live with Sheila for the rest of my life, because I have owed too much love debt in the past, it would be strange if I really marry her officially, other women will not make a fuss!

"Huh..."

" What's wrong"

Sheila, who had been smiling, slowly retracted her smile on her face, and she took off her ring

"It seems that there is something inside the ring!"

There was a clear rose mark on the back of Sheila's middle finger. I took the ring and saw that there was a rose mark on the back of the ring.

"Da Xiu, this ring is very expensive, is it inherited from the ancestors?"

"Basically..."

I didn't want to lie to Sheila, so I had to answer her words vaguely

"The person who gave me the ring asked me to give it to the person I love the most. I think you are the most suitable..."

"……"

To my surprise, Sheila did not continue to ask questions. She just buried her head in my arms and pressed her body tightly on her.

But I felt a little guilty. I proposed to Sheila and used the gift given to me by another lover as a betrothal gift. No matter what, it was a bit unreasonable.

It turned out that I wanted to use this to test a few words, but because I had a ghost in my heart, the test ended in vain.

"What's wrong, why don't you ask who gave it to me?"

"No need, as long as it is given by you, I like it."

The answer is like countless love stories. I smiled and kissed Sheila, but never tried or asked again.

"Wait for the next opportunity, it doesn't seem to be suitable now."

I had insomnia that night

All night, I have been thinking about how to go in the future, home affairs, outside affairs, future plans, all of them must be thought of.

The aristocrats of the Fabir family, I offended Guang from top to bottom, and it is impossible to defect to them.

On the side of Queen Liana, the queen is the most scheming woman I have ever seen, and she has a lot of new aristocratic forces under her command.

If you can stand with them, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you will naturally not be surrounded by enemies and helpless like this time.

But Aunt Brigitte, who is very disagreeing with me being with them

Aunt Brigitte's huge influence on the emperor was far beyond my expectations

Her appearance may make Queen Liana’s position unsecured if she is interested in this position

The idea that aunt will become a queen seems a bit ridiculous now. Look at the complex relationship between her and the emperor and the queen. If she had the heart, it would not be impossible.

If I get too close to the queen and the group, the aunt will definitely be unhappy

With the care of Aunt Brigitte, she will not be too sad in the future. With my relationship with Bordeaux, she will definitely take care of me for my father's sake.

But after thinking about it, I repeatedly considered the danger, but I decided to take advantage of Queen Liana's group of people

The reason is ridiculous and almost ridiculous: Aunt Brigitte treats me very well, so I would rather offend her than hook up the queen line because even if I know that I was mixed with the queen and her gang, she was angry because she would not harm me, but she would still help me wholeheartedly

Queen Liana is still very good at this point. It is not very comfortable to offend this woman who is so scheming and terrifying.

To put it bluntly, I still want to step on two ships: one is the queen and the other is Aunt Brigitte

Although these two women are incompatible, I still want to please both sides. After all, my identity is really too special

As for Ruyue, this arrogant and powerful princess, she is the future queen. In the future, I will have to look at her face and have to consider her relationship with her.

The two aristocrats and emerging aristocrats struggled endlessly, but Ruyue's identity was not as Sheila said. It was a completely neutral centrist. From her special identity and relationship with Rafa, she was a person who both factions were fighting for.

After Rafa's death, her temper became deeper and more restrained. What was thinking and pursuing in her heart, no one knew that Ruyue had been slowly cultivating her own power in recent years, and promoted some talents from the lower-class officers. Although the number was not large, and the official positions of these people were not high, they could only be considered middle and lower-class officials. However, they also formed a small force. Ruyue's move seemed ordinary, but in fact it was very powerful. It was the so-called "real person does not show his appearance."If something really happens, these people who do things below are often more familiar with each other than those who give orders from the top. I know Ruyue's temper very well. She is a person who regards the interests of the empire above everything else. When doing things, she can often exclude personal emotions. To deal with this with absolute reason is very similar to the ruthless way that Uncle Villa taught me. My relationship with her has been established. It is so far, neither near nor good nor bad, and it is inexplicably difficult to tell you. If I suddenly bow my head to show kindness to her, she will only look down on me and touch it.

Attitude to Ruyue: On the basis of maintaining its original state, we must improve and work hard to improve!

Try to control your emotions, don't quarrel with her, don't play the trick of giving me mèi. This trick doesn't work for Ruyue at all, it will only backfire

Improve relationships should be carried out slowly, be very patient, and take a few years to slowly without realizing them.

Last night the emperor went on a blind date for Ruyue. Because the head of the company only cares about dancing, the party leaves the venue early and ends in vain. This may be an opportunity for me. Taking advantage of the window period after Rafa's death, if I can use a few years to improve my relationship with Ruyue, and even further develop Sheila said that Ruyue is a girl who longs for love and has put down her lower body. If I am willing to take the initiative, there is no chance if I can put this episode."

The strongest woman with the titles "The Most Beautiful" tricked her into bed and rode under her to revenge the humiliation she had put on me in the past. It must be a very wonderful thing. Since I was beaten naked by her when I was a child, I have had such bad thoughts.

As for the little princess who said she would go on an outing with me tomorrow...

The queen deliberately put me and the little princess together, and the meaning of it can only be experienced by myself.

Ruyue doesn't like the queen. I've never seen them talk, but she has a great relationship with the little princess.

Now the little princess obviously has a great affection for me. If she can hook up with her, it will be of great benefit to improving her confusing relationship with Ruyue, such as a mess.

The little princess is still young and has no scheming. It is too easy to deceive her body and mind.

I must not let go of this piece of fat that comes to my door. No matter what method is used, it is better to force the king or cook raw rice, I have to hold her in my hand.

If you control her, you can affect the attitude of the queen and Ruyue towards me.

What I worry most is Sheila. Something must have happened to her, but the time is not yet ripe. It is not the time for me to find out the answer to the mystery.

I decided to stop first, observe slowly, and then make a decision

I don't believe that Sheila would harm me, and I still trust her wholeheartedly

I just vaguely felt that in her heart, in addition to hiding a big secret, she also carried a huge spiritual burden.

The adoptive father said that if something big happened and the sky fell, the whole family should share the burden, rather than secretly taking it alone.

I don't doubt Sheila, I just want to help her share the burden.

When dawn approached, I sorted out all my thoughts, and I was so tired that I fell asleep deeply
