The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Since receiving the invitation letter from the Anas Empire, Xia Zuoyi has been thinking about what kind of birthday gift he should prepare for the Queen of the Empire.

——This should be a gift that has never appeared before, but can make any woman's heart flutter.

This must also be a gift that is irresistible, enviable and jealous for all women, and it will definitely make the queen the focus of the entire birthday dinner, stunning everyone, and attracting everyone's attention.

A new experience of incomparable beauty.

Therefore, Xia Zuoyi intends to give the imperial queen a full-body custom gift, makeup, perfume, high-end evening dress...a change from head to toe.

I believe that no woman can refuse this gift.

He wanted to connect and befriend the Queen of the Empire.

One is to contact the relevant people, and the other is to rely on the existence of this gift-for every woman, there is an irresistible charm.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Xia Zuoyi's situation in the empire is definitely not good.

After all, he holds in his hand a secret recipe for white sugar that can generate huge benefits.

His Majesty the king, who is in the highest position, has a spying mind, not to mention the various nobles who are around.

As Boris said, I don't know how many people are waiting for the opportunity to stretch out their hands to skin and tear him apart and share the broth.

Since the booth was opened at the port, people have been coming and going, insinuating and beating around the bush.

But what they ended up taking home was a box of finished lemon drops, rose drops, sugar paintings, or fruit wrapped in syrup.

The steady stream of gold coins all went into Xia Zuoyi's pockets, and made these people's faces show heartache but helplessness.

Xia Zuoyi was very happy to collect the money, and at the same time, he used the convenience of the booth to find out a lot about the nobles of the empire.

That day, the man who talked to Tosi Cavendish in front of the lemon candy making booth was one of them that Xia Zuoyi noticed.

——The Minister of Finance of the Anas Empire, the Marquess of Darnell of the Lowry family, and also the Queen's nephew.

No wonder he disliked the king's illegitimate son Tosi so much.

Xia Zuoyi found out in the empire—for the king's many lovers, the queen had made a lot of efforts to win back the king's heart at the very beginning, but it was of no use.

The king is still merciful everywhere, and he doesn't give the queen any face.

So, probably disheartened, the queen gradually fell silent, no longer paying attention to the absurdity of the king.

Even a glamorous and beautiful mistress of the king mocked the queen in public, saying that the reason why she was not liked by the king was because she had no family background but no beauty, not even a beautiful vase.

Word got out.

Although the mistress who said these words was immediately dealt with by the Lowry family in revenge, the queen never came forward to refute the rumors.

She has not appeared in the palace for a long time, so long that even members of the royal family have almost forgotten her existence, so that the rumor that the queen is not even as good as a vase has been passed down to this day.

Xia Zuoyi didn't know why the queen didn't come out to speak.

But the queen's surname is Lowry.

Behind her is a veteran nobleman of the empire who cannot be ignored, supporting her. Because of this, even if the king doesn't value the queen very much, he will not ignore her.

But that's all.

Otherwise, the king would not sit back and ignore the rumors that were unfavorable to the queen.

They don't even count as "appearance is inseparable", which shows that the king and queen don't even do superficial efforts.

After Xia Zuoyi learned of Darnell Laurie's identity from the Grand Duke of Orville, she planned to send someone to contact him for a try, and contact the queen first through the Laurie family.

Not long after he returned to Duke Achiayoli's mansion, he opened the box he brought back from the ship, which contained a small and exquisite perfume bottle.

——The length is about half the size of a palm, the body of the bottle is flat, and the cap is exquisite. It turns out to be in the shape of a rose made of stained glass.

Such exquisite and exquisite small objects are undoubtedly a very thoughtful and pleasing gift whether it is used for yourself or given as a gift.

Xia Zuoyi uncorked the perfume bottle, and a deep and refreshing fragrance passed from the bottle to the nose, and then evaporated in the air and spread out.

There are obviously no roses around, but it seems that people are in the middle of the roses. The petals are constantly falling, and the smell in the air is not strong and pungent, but a rich and intoxicating smell.

Xia Zuoyi thought for a while, poured out a little rose water on her fingertips, and then applied it behind her ears and on the inside of her elbows.

He had just put the cork back on and was about to put the perfume back into the box when a servant suddenly appeared and knocked on the door.

After Judith went to open it.

The attendant said: "My lord, there is a guest who wants to see you. My lord, please go and have a look."

Xia Zuoyi was a little puzzled, and followed the attendants to the reception hall. She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, the archbishop of the Holy See, Paul.

Paul put his right hand on his chest: "Good day, my lord."

Xia Zuoyi nodded to him and asked, "What do you need from me?"

Orville knows how to respect the privacy of his guests.

Designia, though living in his place, has freedom of movement.

So after Xia Zuoyi met Paul, Orville thoughtfully left, and he was going to watch the beasts in the large paddock enclosed in the backyard.

Paul lowered his head and said respectfully, "My lord, Your Majesty would like to see you."

It is a secret for the time being that the Pope personally came to the Anas Empire.

But now there are no outsiders, so Paul said it directly.

Naturally, Xia Zuoyi didn't expect Saigalot's arrival, so he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise on his face: "The Pope is in the Empire?"

"Yes."

Paul asked again.

Xia Zuoyi agreed and followed him to leave the Duke's mansion before ordering his attendants to tell Grand Duke Orville that he had something to go out.

When he reached the door, Xia Zuoyi suddenly found that he was still holding the perfume bottle in his hand, and there was no need to put it back now, so he simply put it in his pocket.

…………

The carriage stopped in front of a door covered with green radish and flowers.

Paul led the way, passed the lush green courtyard, and entered the living room: "Lord Lord, Your Majesty is waiting for you on the second floor, please go up alone..."

He looked at the butler Judit who was following Xia Zuoyi in embarrassment.

Xia Zuoyi: "Judit, just wait for me here first."

Judith said yes, and bowed his body.

Xia Zuoyi climbed the stairs, stepped on the soft carpet laid on the second floor, and slowly turned the corner...

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the windows on the side of the corridor, and finally saw a light spot flickering on one of the windows, and there was a movement——

Xia Zuoyi immediately turned around when Saigalot approached quietly, and met the face of the Pope showing a little surprise and deepening the smile with a small expression of insight and complacency.

He grabbed the pope's sleeve with one hand, trying to stop the other party from reaching out to hug him, but his palm was wrapped in the opposite direction...

Saigalote's other hand was around Xia Zuoyi's waist before he could react in time, and immediately picked him up, and then took a few steps forward and sat him down on the spacious window sill.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help puffing up her face, feeling extremely depressed.

He was intimidated like this twice in a row, and he still thought it was too late, but in fact, the biggest difference was in height and physical strength, which was really incomparable.

He sat on the window sill and kicked his legs, pursed his mouth and said: "Please make room for His Majesty the Pope, so that I can come down."

Saigalot approached quickly, and sniffed the tip of his nose with some doubts: "I've smelled the fragrance of roses since just now... Could this little rose of yours be really a rose?"

He wasn't very close, keeping a proper distance, but the faint scent of roses was like a seductive hook.

Saigalot couldn't help but approached a little closer, his gilt eyes darkened, like molten ooze cast by brilliance, and gently lifted Xia Zuoyi's hair by his ear with one hand.

Xia Zuoyi hugged his hand and pulled it down, took out the perfume bottle from his pocket and explained: "What you smell is rose perfume."

"I ordered someone to make it just now, and I plan to give it to the queen as one of the birthday presents."

"The smell of rose water has not been tested yet. I don't know how long it will stay on the human body. When you asked Paul to invite me, I was planning to try it myself."

"So far, it seems that the results are not bad."

As Xia Zuoyi said, she raised her wrist and sniffed lightly, then turned her wrist in front of Saigalot: "Your Majesty, smell it, it's also here."

Saigalot's eyebrows were dark.

Looking at the serious and innocent expression on the face of the person in front of him, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "Not only that, you smell like roses all over your body."

Really a little rose.

Xia Zuoyi calculated the time it would take to get here from the Grand Duke's mansion, and couldn't help nodding.

He thought that the fragrance was well maintained, and the next thing to do was to see when it would fade away and how long it would last.

Saigalote leaned on the window sill next to Xia Zuoyi with one hand, and took a closer look at the perfume bottle in his hand with the other.

The long, smooth black curly hair of the Pope's crown hangs down from his shoulders, and a few strands of hair hang loosely on Xia Zuoyi's arm, twisting a few times and falling into the palm of his hand, feeling a little itchy.

Xia Zuoyi moved her fingers, grabbed the strands of hair and gathered them all back behind Saigalot, her movements were incomparably natural.

The arc of Saigalot's mouth became deeper and deeper, his gilt eyes were even more radiant, and an unconcealable laughter overflowed from his throat.

He shook the perfume bottle slightly, watched the beautiful liquid inside flow back and forth, and said slowly: "This is another idea you came up with to make money, using the status of the queen and the timing of the birthday dinner to sell the perfume?"

Xia Zuoyi gave the Pope a thumbs up: "Smart, you got the answer right, but it's not just about perfume."

"What else?"

"Secret for now."

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Xia Zuoyi said, "Why did Your Majesty come to the Anas Empire?"

"I remember that even if the queen's dinner, according to the specifications of the Holy See, a cardinal should come to attend..."

But he saw only one archbishop, Paul.

Segalot: "The two cardinals of the Holy See are busy with their affairs, and they don't really want to waste time attending the queen's birthday dinner."

"Oh."

Xia Zuoyi nodded: "Then you are..."

"I have something to do."

Xia Zuoyi thought to herself: It turns out that he came to the Anas Empire to do business. It seems that the Pope's attendance at the dinner was just a matter of chance.
