Chapter 139: The Evil Empress (9)
"You are about to marry me, and in the future, I will be your husband, and where I am will be your home." Kyle's voice was gentle enough to pinch out the water.
Zhao Jiaqi had a look moistened by love on his face: "Your Majesty-"
The marriage was announced, and the bishop who officiated was also settled by Zhao Jiaqi, and the palace began to prepare intensively for the marriage of the emperor and the future queen.
For an empire, this is the biggest thing, the emperor has had many imperial concubines since he ascended the throne, but the canonization of the empress is the first time.
Therefore, the chamberlains and ministers paid special attention to it.
Compared with the busy atmosphere in the palace, Twelve is a little leisurely.
Since receiving the hidden mission, Twelve has begun to think about how to become the empress of the Robert Empire.
The emperor of the Robert Empire was hereditary, and the heirs of the emperor were the emperor's brothers and heirs, and it was not without special cases of the emperor's wife being the empress before, but those were all empresses who established themselves as empresses after the emperor's death.
Twelve is just an imperial concubine, and she can't fight with the eight poles of succession to the throne, and the only thing that can be used is to wait for the emperor's death to be a regent as Victoria's mother.
This is very bad for Twelve to do the task.
What's more, the current Twelve does not have the slightest foundation in the Robert Empire, has no military merits, no power, and no identity and reputation of a saint like Zhao Jiaqi.
Therefore, the first step that Twelve decided to do was to contact the power of the Campbell family first, and slowly cultivate his own fans in the court.
Although she herself is not a person who sells fame and reputation, she really wants to be the empress without the support of the minister.
Twelve who made up his mind began to slowly understand who the ancient Campbell family had in various parts of the empire, which industries, and which ones could be recovered and used over the years.
Sebastian has been running diligently to the palace these days, and he is busy delivering all kinds of paperwork to Twelve.
Twelve looked at the yellowed parchment map on the table, comparing the information in his hand one by one.
"It turns out that we still have such a large area near the border of the Kas Empire." Twelve lamented the wealth of the Campbell family.
Saiya, who was standing on the side, lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the Campbell family is the oldest family in the Robert Empire, and he has existed on this continent long before the rise of the Robert royal family. ”
"Then why did it end up on the throne of the Robert royal family?" Twelve asked casually, but Seya was silent.
In fact, she also knows that each family has its own unknown means of superiority, and it is one thing to know it, and it is another thing to take it out.
Twelve, who didn't plan to delve into it, pointed to the large piece of land and asked Sebastian, who had been waiting on the sidelines: "Old Sai, who is managing this piece of land?" ”
Old Sebastian was another name given to Sebastian by Twelve, and he was shocked when he first heard it, but he got used to it after hearing it too much.
"Your Highness, this piece of land is being tended by Madame Heine, the Lady of the Campbell family."
"Lady Heine? Is it an earl or a viscount? ”
"Your Highness, it's the Marquis, Madame Heine is in her thirties this year, and she still calls you a little aunt."
Twelve didn't expect that the person who managed such a large piece of land was a woman, or a marquis, and her ability was not bad, but unfortunately her seniority was lower than herself, and she couldn't be called a "little aunt" if she wanted to change to herself.
"How is Mrs. Heine?"
Sebastian replied honestly: "Madame Heine was a cheerful and outgoing person, who inherited his father's title of viscount at the age of eighteen, but at the age of eighteen was promoted to marquis by King Charles for his meritorious service in resisting the invasion of the Cass Empire. ”
King Charles, Kyle's father, relied on the power of several great nobles to pacify the frontiers during his reign, most notably the Campbells.
"So, her title and merits are all earned by herself?" Twelve asked, and Sebastian nodded.
This is also a character, such a capable woman, Twelve felt that he could not let go, and immediately wrote a letter to Sebastian and asked him to help him send it to Heine.
Seya, who was silent, saw the letter that Twelve had handed to Sebastian with his own hands, and her eyelashes trembled.
Twelve finally found the way to the empress, and Zhao Jiaqi was not idle.
Kyle invited the best tailor in the empire to tailor a wedding dress for her, and Zhao Jiaqi lay on the couch, absentmindedly flipping through the fabric booklet.
Seeing this, the tailor on the side thought that these ordinary clothes could not enter the eyes of the future queen and saint, so he took out the bottom of his press box, a booklet with a delicate red sheepskin cover, which was also inlaid with blue gems, and said flatteringly: "Holy woman, this is the top fabric in the villain's hand, even Emperor Charles's empress, His Majesty's biological mother has never used such expensive fabric." ”
Zhao Jiaqi took it casually, didn't turn it over twice, but threw it aside: "Do you want others to think that I, a holy woman, offended His Majesty's biological mother?" ”
The tailor fell to his knees in a panic: "The villain is not, the Holy Maiden Mingjian!" ”
Zhao Jiaqi frowned and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to look at these fabrics, you can watch and do it." ”
The maid on the side seemed to see Zhao Jiaqi's thoughts, and leaned into her ear and said, "Your Highness, when the Twelve Imperial Concubines got married, there was no fabric for the wedding dress they were wearing. ”
Before the queen could sit down, His Royal Highness shouted, and this maid was also accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder.
But Zhao Jiaqi became interested: "Is it? ”
The maid raised her eyes and looked at the tailor who was busy and said, "Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes, and the sea-blue wedding dress she wears is like the legendary sea silk woven by the mermaid, light and gorgeous, Campbell's butler said that this yarn comes from the fiefdom of the Campbell family, and there is also a nice name, called mermaid weaving." ”
"Shark weaving, it's really good." After Zhao Jiaqi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the tailor who was busy: "Do you know the merman weaving?" ”
The tailor lowered his eyebrows and replied, "My Lord, the mermaid weave is a fabric produced only in Yorkshire, the territory of the Duke of Campbell, and the villain is fortunate enough to see it once, but it is only a small handkerchief made of a small piece of cloth, and no one can use it for clothes with such a large hand." ”
Zhao Jiaqi sat still, but his face was displeased: "But I heard my maid say that the Twelfth Imperial Concubine wore a wedding dress woven by a mermaid when she married His Majesty." ”
Her words have all come to this, what else does the tailor not understand, the fabric used by a princess when she marries the emperor is even more precious than the fabric used by the queen and the queen to marry her, and what she says will be criticized.
