The front door of the Mansion of the Kingdom of Tro is heavily guarded. The guests, all with invitations, entered through the side doors. Hearing the alarm from the vigilant magic array, Dipu cursed in his heart, took off a few magic rings in his hand, and took off a magic necklace, and threw it to the tyrant wolf Thales who was waiting at the door.

Although it is stated on the invitation card - no magical items or weapons are allowed. However, Dipu still had a fluke mentality, and in addition to leaving the storage ring for the tyrannical wolf Thales, who was guarding today, he still wore several rings and necklaces that stored defensive magic. Unexpectedly, today's inspection was particularly strict, and Dipu could only enter "lightly".

Today is a reception, but in fact, it will be held all day. In the morning, Saren the Great and the Empire's dignitaries would attend. But after lunch, the reception will turn into a gathering for young people. Of course, there is also the meaning of matching the crown prince Chasian and Princess Chenel. Although it is a political marriage, it is best for the two to cultivate a relationship, at least a ...... Otherwise, how will the kingdom of Tello be merged in the future?

......

Dipu approached the hall of the mansion and looked left and right, looking for a few acquaintances.

"Hello, Your Excellency Dipu!" suddenly a bald middle-aged man came over to greet him with a smile, and it was the female reporter who had "met" him, and the female reporter was glaring at Dipp.

"Ahem, hello Miss Felicia, who are you?" said Dipp with a smile and a bow.

"Pablo, a contemptible man, is not talented, stealing the post of editor-in-chief of the "Monitor". Pablo smiled and nodded.

Dipp's face immediately darkened. What does this bald editor-in-chief mean? Deliberately demonstrating in front of himself?

And Pablo seemed to see through Dipp's inner thoughts at a glance. He was still smiling: "Your Excellency! Don't be so hostile! When we do news, we pay attention to facts. If you have any grievances, you can make a statement through the newspaper. I don't dare to go over the rest, but we at The Monitor always welcome you. We will never do anything that blocks the way of speech. ”

"Hmph!" Dipu turned around and immediately brushed his sleeves away. The flowers and rice that he said are good, can they be worth the huge losses of Dipu? Dipu felt that he had not come to this bald face on the spot, and that he was already very graceful and self-contained.

"Cut! It's so ungraceful!" looked at Dipp's back, Felicia's face was disdainful.

Pablo smiled and patted the back of Felicia's hand: "As a reporter, you must be careful not to act rashly." In fact, Viscount Dipp's character has nothing to do with us, and even he doesn't care about rumors in the press. The hostility to the Monitor is even more irrelevant. What we have to do -- is to keep tapping into the newsworthiness. ”

Felicia is the daughter of a good friend of Pablo and a graduate of the Royal Academy. What is commendable is that Felicia wants to make a career of her own, so as an elder, Pablo. It gave her such an opportunity.

In fact, there is a great shortage of such female reporters in major newspapers and magazines. After all, there are very few women who are knowledgeable and willing to come out to work, and the newspaper needs female reporters who can enter the circle of ladies and ladies to dig news. If Felicia really made a career out of journalism, Pablo did not hesitate to cultivate it.

"But...... Uncle!" suddenly heard such words. Felicia couldn't accept it, "Doesn't journalism expose facts and promote justice?"

As soon as Pablo heard such childish words, he rejoiced: "Hehe. This Viscount, if this continues, there must be constant scandals, and it will be difficult to survive in the Empire. But what does this have to do with us at The Monitor? We need scandals, and we need scandals, and readers prefer to watch scandals. So in our eyes, this viscount is not an enemy, but the best 'partner'. ”

"Huh?"

"Can't take it for a while, do you?" continued Pablo laughing. "It's okay, you'll figure it out over time. If you work hard, you can use that viscount as a test subject and see if you can develop into an interview subject. ”

"Subject?" Felicia exclaimed in small breath. In fact, many valuable interview subjects have their own familiar "royal reporters". And those people have become the target of these reporters' interviews, and they are also a kind of resource in their hands. And those veteran reporters who have mastered many important interview targets have also become big reporters who influence public opinion on the mainland. This is also one of the unspoken rules of mainland journalism, and it is one of the goals of a young reporter like Felicia.

"Hehe!" continued Pablo, "Your Excellency Dipu has many shortcomings. But it's still pitying, if you go to an interview, you won't be with ...... Charlie the same. So go ahead and give it a try. Still, it's up to you. It's not reluctant. ”

"That'...... Okay!

......

Leaving Pablo and them, the first thing Dipu met was the person he least wanted to see. He was now lowering his eyebrows and smiling: "Uncle, aunt!"

Ipugil still maintained a serious expression, but Amasasia complained: "Little bastard, she has been in St. Louis for so many days, why didn't she bring Xuefu over?

Dipu was embarrassed: "Auntie! Xue Fu is also afraid that you will be difficult to be. Today's reception. She deliberately didn't even come. ”

Amasasia was still unrelenting: "Then can't you send someone to deliver a message, can we meet outside again?"

"Uh...... Just these days, definitely, definitely!"

Amasasia finally let Dip go. She still cares about this son-in-law: "Today's reception, those four juniors will also attend, you have to pay attention." ”

Dipu hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Never conflict with them." Uncles and aunts, don't worry, I promise to endure!"

Unexpectedly, Ipgil frowned: "There's no need to endure it all the time, you can't lose your momentum." Take control of it yourself!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Suddenly, Amasasia asked, "Xuefu...... Are you alright?"

"Very good, very good, I love her. Dipu hurriedly replied.

Amasasia gave Dipu a blank look: "What I'm asking is...... Do you have any children?"

"Uh......?"

......

Fortunately, as the elven envoys, the Ipgir couple still have their own entertainment. When the two of them finally let Dipu go, Dipu already felt like he was sweating. When he felt someone slapping him from behind, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Diego, and Dipu was already in tears: "Hey, you're finally here." ”

Seeing that Dipu was alone, Diego asked his female companion to leave for a while. The two of them each took a glass of bubble wine and chatted. Knowing that Dip was unfamiliar with the social world of the Empire, Diego introduced the guests one by one.

"See, the pair of stars holding the moon in the center are the crown prince and his wife, my dear brother Zacian!" Diego did not hide his identity, "What's interesting is that my sister-in-law, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, why is she so happy? ”

......

"The couple who just entered the door are His Royal Highness the Second Prince and his wife, my second brother Finn. His ambition is not small, and he will never be willing to be a prince in the future. This is not a secret in the Empire. But His Majesty seems to be very conniving. I don't know what he thinks. ”

......

"This ......"

"The two ......"

"Huh, did it go public today?" Diego suddenly exclaimed in a strange voice. Provoked Dipu to look at the gate, only to see a young nobleman walking in with Princess Tricy in his arms.

"Why? who is that man?" Dip was curious.

"Hehe!" Diego whispered, "This is Fabian, the third son of the Marquis of Golden Mist. It's a half-dead family. However, this Fabian is very accomplished in art, and he is a good connoisseur of music and painting. I heard that His Majesty felt that it was not easy for His Highness to be widowed, so he sent someone to say that he was in harmony with this Fabian. However, Fabian could not inherit the family in the first place, and the arts he played cost a lot of money. It's not bad to be able to marry my rich little sister. I just heard that Fabian's health doesn't seem to be very good. But seeing that the two of them have become a pair today, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Oh!" Dipu was just trying to satisfy his curiosity. At this time, Heidelberg followed Marshal Phoenix into the door, so the two nodded and said hello from a distance.

......

"Look at this ......," Diego continued, introducing Dip.

Dipu looked at him and said with a smile: "I know this petty official of the management department, his name is Lucien, right? Huh, how can he be invited on this occasion today?"

Diego laughed, "Don't underestimate him. He also had the title of Earl, albeit only as a Country Count. I heard that this Lucien is a distant relative of Princess Laura, and she is not willing to be lonely in the countryside, so she came to the imperial capital to wander. Through the relationship of the imperial concubine, His Majesty gave him this fat difference. ”

"Fat chase?" Dipu was a little strange, "how can the management department be greedy for money, and dare to exploit the heads of officials?"

"You don't know. Diego laughed, "This Count of Lucien is very wealthy himself, and he doesn't need to be greedy for that money. However, he has no civilian status and cannot hold any important official positions at all. But he is in the management department, as long as he has careful communication, he has a wide range of contacts. At that time, as long as the relationship is a little bit trusted, the future will not be too bad. You can even mix up a civilian status. ”

At this point, I saw a waiter bring a glass of water to Lucien. Lucien casually rewarded him with a gem. Combined with the politeness of Lucien at that time, it was indeed easy to gain the favor of others.

At this time, the guests had almost arrived, and the master of ceremonies suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress have arrived!" )
