What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 187-186- The dissatisfied queen mother

The emperor could laugh out loud with Carlos, who was not related by blood, and he could even talk to Domi. But with Shia, his biological daughter, Domi felt that he could not even say a word. willing.

Domi was very aggrieved after leaving the throne room. At this time, Carlos had already left for the afternoon meeting room early. Domi and Sia were the only two people left in the column corridor beside the small garden outside.

Sia looked indifferent and shrugged:

"It doesn't matter. My father has the same attitude every time I see him. I've long been used to it."

Still like this.

Why does she never express her dissatisfaction loudly?
Duomi also knew that doing this in a place like the palace would be very detrimental to him, but he should at least complain to him, right?

Why should I suffer in silence alone?

"One day I will change this situation." Domi said softly.

"Did you say anything?"

"No," Duomi shook his head: "By the way, let's go see the queen. A handsome son-in-law must meet his mother-in-law."

Sia showed a smile: "Stop putting gold on your face."

"The Queen lives not far away. I will take you there, but I have to tell you in advance that I will still call her Queen Mother here."

"Well, I remember!"

"Then I'll go change my clothes first."

"Can I follow you? I really want to be the first person to see you put on a palace dress again."

"Hehe~ No way~" Shia turned around briskly with her hands behind her back, "Also, the palace no longer wears long palace skirts with waistbands. Those kinds of clothes are uncomfortable to wear."

"Then what did you wear instead?"

"You'll know then~"

Sometimes he really didn't like this about Sia, because it always made him feel extremely itchy.

In order to welcome the 'surprise' prepared by Xia for him, he specially waited in place, quietly waiting, waiting...

Until the familiar frequency of footsteps came, he suddenly looked back and saw at a glance that Sia, who was wearing a white skirt with tassels reaching her calf, surrounded by maids, was like a pure white rose set off by the green grass. Can't take my eyes away.

Different from the palace dress with corseted waist and big cake-like hem, and also different from the simple white skirt when we first met, this skirt uses lace and tassels to create a sufficient look without the "big cake bustle". sense of layering.

The longer cuffs were slightly open in a trumpet shape, revealing the delicate wrist. The dark moon ring on the ring finger was now more conspicuous, making Xia even more radiant.

She wears a knitted beige shawl on her round and smooth shoulders, and wears open beige pointed-toe low heels.

Such an outfit, together with her red hair and ruby ​​eyes, complement each other amazingly, adding a touch of gentleness to the warmth, and a touch of coolness to the warmth.

He really loved the contrast!
For a moment, he couldn't even control his facial expressions, and he didn't even notice that Xia had walked up to her. When she spoke, the familiar smell of perfume accompanied her, just like her words were fragrant.

"Are you stunned?" She was very satisfied with Domi's reaction, and acted like Domi's favorite queen: "I will show you enough later, and now come with me to meet the queen mother."

"Yeah! I'll look forward to it!"

The two of them walked around the complex terrain of the palace and finally found the queen's palace. It was an exquisite complex of buildings connected with the palace. It was obvious that the queen was very good at keeping in good health. Even the flowers planted in the garden Most grass is good for the human body.

The current queen of the Lionheart Empire, Nadia Veda, is called the 'Mother of the Nation' by the world.

Duomi has done related work before. The reason why the queen is so loved by the people is because of her husband's assistance.

When Emperor Burton raised his sword high, declared war on all neighboring countries, and named himself "King Xuan of Qi", the national economy was on the verge of collapse and people's livelihood was in decline. It was this shrewd and capable woman who worked with another powerful minister to make plans and issue one provision after another. Government decree, save the people of the empire from fire and water.

As far as Domi knows, the most powerful move she has made is to achieve the major milestone of "land to the tiller" ahead of schedule. The unemployment rate caused by the war has been effectively reduced, food shortages have been alleviated, and the social economy has recovered.

Taking land from the land holders will undoubtedly touch the interests of the empire itself and the major aristocratic landowners, especially the Cumberbatch family, known as the 'largest landowner in the empire', who have the strongest opposition.

But people still don't know what means she relied on to still do this. The veil of mystery has always shrouded this 'legendary' woman.

However, Domi only knew from Sia that she was a harsh and severe woman.

When they came to the door of the palace, the guard guarding the door saw Sia and let them in directly.

Entering the garden, this is the only way to the main palace. The cobblestone path winds forward.

They stopped just halfway, because in their eyes, a woman in a gorgeous dress was holding a kettle and calmly watering the flowers and plants.

Just looking at that scene can calm people's impetuous hearts. One by one, the maids surrounded her and took care of her meticulously, for fear that the woman would spend any extra effort.

When the two of them saw her, the woman also saw them, and her eyes suddenly changed from gentle and stern to severe scrutiny.

Sia lowered her head slightly, thinking that it was because of herself that she changed her expression.

She waved slowly to the two of them and guided them all the way to the stone table in the garden to sit down.

At such a close distance, Duomi finally had the opportunity to take a good look at the Queen of One Country.

She was a beautiful woman with long brown hair, and her silky hair was elegantly and elegantly coiled on her back. She showed a mature temperament in every move, every frown, and every smile.

Her eyes were calm and her lips were slightly parted: "Xia, I haven't been back for a long time. Don't you remember to introduce your friends to your mother?"

friend?

She calls her fiancé a friend?He, Dominic, was the first to disagree.

"That, I..."

Just when Duomi was about to retort formally and firmly, Shia, who was sitting next to him, lightly tapped his thigh twice, which was a signal for him not to speak for the time being.

Before the "three chapters of agreement" between the two, no matter how dissatisfied Duomi was, he could only hide it for a while.

"I'm sorry, mother. If there is a next time, I will report it to you as soon as possible."

Shia knew that this was Nadia Veda's subtle expression of dissatisfaction with her marriage to Blofeld without consulting her and the emperor.

"Forget it, then you," Nadiavida tapped Duomi with her chin, "since you can stay with Sia, you are somewhat capable. Let's talk about what you know."

What do I know?That's too much.

No one knows his son better than his father, and no one knows his mother better than his daughter.

Duomi turned his head slightly and glanced at Sia. Sia gave him a "saying" look, and now he dared to "make a big show of force".

"Back to the Queen, I am currently proficient in the Forest Elf language, the lingua franca of the demons, and most of the ancient kingdom texts of ancient civilizations except for the lost civilization. I am proficient in piano, dancing, riding and cooking, and I also have some experience in massage and braiding." "I learned a lot, but it's not comprehensive enough."

Duomi originally thought that people like the queen would want her son-in-law to be a versatile and talented man full of poetry and literature. Since she said so, she wouldn't hide it.

"Actually, I also have a perfect level of talent for shadow magic. I inherited my family's magic hand and am proficient in assassination and archery. Whether it's magic or close combat, I can guarantee that no one in the world can beat me at my age."

Is this bragging enough?
The maids around were all moved. Where can I find a child like him who is at full level?
But she is still 'unsatisfied':
"So, you are already good at both civil and military skills at a young age? Even more powerful than Xia, who I have carefully trained for 14 years?"

"That's wrong. Xia is the most powerful in my heart from beginning to end. There is no comparison."

Nadia Veda showed a rare look of satisfaction, and her tone became slightly calmer:

"Since you praise yourself so well, how about I ask you a question, and if you can answer it, how about I admit your point?"

Question after question?Why do adults nowadays like to leave "after-school homework"?
But this is the test of Xia's adoptive mother. The adoptive mother is also the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law's test must not show weakness and must be won!
"Excuse me, Queen."

"In your opinion, how should the empire be governed today?"

Good guy, he is direct good guy!

He doesn't know how to answer this kind of question, and from which angle he should answer it, because he has no detailed data at all. He can only see the surface of all the questions but not the inner meaning. How to start?
Seeing that you are both civil and military, you have to find faults in the eggs and raise political issues for yourself, right?
Seemingly satisfied with Domi's embarrassed appearance, Nadia Veda raised the corners of her mouth slightly as if she had achieved her goal:

"Look, you are not perfect and you are not worthy of Sia."

"No, as long as you give me time and authority, I will definitely be able to answer it!"

"Oh~ Then how much permission do you want?"

At this point, Duomi felt as if he had been tricked by this woman, but it was difficult to get off, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After careful consideration, he said: "The power that allows me to access all data, war intelligence, and give orders to make preliminary adjustments!"

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

"what?"

"what?"

Duomi was dumbfounded. This kind of thing was given to him so easily?It would be too childish to give it to a child who is just 12 years old...

Moreover, the cost of testing a son-in-law is too high. This is gambling on the intelligence of the entire empire to find a perfect son-in-law who can do everything.

Wait, it seems to be a costless business for Nadia Veda, with no harm at all, but a bit of an intelligence agency...

As expected of the master of the harem, he has a heart for tactics.

Xia also can't fix it for her mother. What is the point of getting rid of it?
Nadiavida made a move to get up, and the maid behind her immediately stepped forward to help her, and said the last words before turning around and leaving:

"Dominic Blofield, report to the intelligence department at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If you think of something, go to each department and use your sharp tongue to persuade them to implement it."

Seeing the queen enter the palace, the corners of Domi's mouth twitched crazily.

In the end, I still didn’t get everything done after co-authoring it. I had to personally beg others to even execute the operation... It was a sin.

The room arranged by the royal family for Domi is in a single building specially designed to receive foreign dignitaries. It is three stories high, fully equipped and equipped with servants. There are several buildings like this, and Carlos also lives here.

He returned to the room alone and ignored the servants' greetings along the way. Normally, he would have nodded in response, but now his mind was filled with the problems Nadia Vida had thrown at him, which was more difficult than Carlos's. Even harder.

No, the two are not parallel and independent, but have a superior-subordinate relationship. When he solves the problem of the former, the latter will naturally get the answer.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it can be done easily, but only once.

Sia had just returned to the royal city, and a bunch of people invited her to various banquets. Now she was busy socializing, and no one was accompanying her, so where did the relaxation just go?Come back soon, otherwise he will lose his hair from worry...

In fact, as a time traveler, he has collected in his mind the governance strategies of rulers from all over the world in all eras. The rich categories are probably enough to solve the current dilemma of the empire.

But the hard question is where to start.

In theory, it's very simple, just do what you want, but once you get started, you will find that there are problems everywhere, and you will only be far away from the original goal, let alone when he is the only one.

Pfft!
He suddenly lay on his back on the soft bed and sank directly into the quilt. He covered his face with one hand and said to himself after a long silence:
"It seems like it's time to become a complete bad guy for once."

At this time, a strategy has been finalized in Duomi's mind. Although it is a poor strategy in terms of human relations, it is absolutely guaranteed in terms of efficiency.

Anyway, I probably won’t have many opportunities to come to the royal city in the future, so just offend him if you offend him, and leave the mess to Carlos to clean up.

Make up your mind to go to bed early and recharge your batteries for tomorrow.
-
The next day, the golden lark, which had been living in the palace for a long time, stood on a branch and sang a tune. But soon it started to rain lightly, and the lark flew away. However, Domi's biological clock still woke him up on time. .

After receiving his daily 'daily rewards' rain or shine, he put on the classic black suit that is now worn by all the office staff in the palace, or civil servants for short.

He tied his tie meticulously, polished his leather shoes, and stood in front of the mirror to examine his appearance as a 'fake civil servant'.

"It's okay, just a little short," he raised his collar, "but the person who stands on the shoulders of power is still a giant no matter how short he is."

He walked out of the door holding a black umbrella, and under the surprised eyes of everyone passing by, he made his way to the Empire's Intelligence Department, which was the largest, busiest and most manned palace in the palace.

At the door, two hidden masters stopped him. The raindrops hit their iron armor mercilessly, but they could not shake them at all:

"Stop, no one else from the Imperial Intelligence Department is allowed to enter."

But what would they do if he took out the Queen's permission document with his backhand?
"It turns out it was the Queen's order. It's disrespectful."

After successfully entering, he stood in front of the closed door. There were bursts of noise inside, and their business seemed to be very busy.

But what does this have to do with him, Queen Domi’s special envoy, Mr. Blofeld, Prince Consort, Nick?

Duomi raised his feet, and after a wave of energy...

boom!
He kicked open the door of the Intelligence Department, and the loud sound drowned out all the conversations. Everyone stopped in place, looking at the door that slowly fell and then banged with a dull look, and then looked up. I saw Duomi standing at the door.

"Hello everyone," Domi folded his umbrella leisurely and bent down to caress his chest: "Let me introduce myself. From today on, the Intelligence Department is under my control. You can call me - Dominica's Minister of Intelligence."

In the crowd, a middle-aged Mediterranean man touched his smooth scalp and reflected on himself. What on earth had he done wrong... so that the queen wanted to parachute a new minister?

In fact, everything about the minister is nonsense.

The Queen's document was just for Domi to freely inspect in the Intelligence Department, but due to the charm of the text and Domi's momentum of being the first to do so, almost everyone felt that this was the case.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.
