Chapter 248 Reward.
Admiral Hans looked at Her Majesty the Queen whose attitude changed so frequently. He really didn't know what to say. He could only stand silently and act as a listener like Lu Xiao.
After a long time, Her Majesty the Queen seemed to have vented her dissatisfaction and sat down again: "You two, stop standing. Sit down."
After speaking, he personally poured tea for the two of them.
"Lu Xiao, is your grandmother in good health?"
"I was a little sick a while ago, but I'm fine now. Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your concern."
"That's good. As an older person, her health is getting worse day by day. You must tell her to take more care of herself."
"I will, Your Majesty."
"How is your research going? Is there any progress?"
Lu Xiao was not surprised when Her Majesty the Queen suddenly asked about this matter. He answered truthfully: "There is no progress yet, but everyone is working hard. I believe it is only a matter of time before the results are produced."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded: "It would be great if Prince Li Ke met you back then. He must still be alive and well today."
At this point, Her Majesty the Queen laughed self-deprecatingly, but did not wait for Lu Xiao's response and said to herself: "I heard that your husband is only a major general now?"
"It is at the level of major general, but it was achieved through his own hard work. He just made a triumphant return from the battlefield not long ago."
"In this case, let's find a day to promote him to lieutenant general." Her Majesty the Queen said casually, as if this kind of thing was just a sentence.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen."
"You're welcome. You all got it through your own efforts. If you want anything, you are already a meritorious earl. If it is not appropriate to reward you with a title, if you want anything, just say it directly, otherwise I will It really takes a lot of effort.”
"Then I won't be polite to Her Majesty the Queen. I want to ask for immunity from divorce on behalf of my male father. My male father and my mother have been at odds with each other for many years and have tortured each other for many years. I really don't want to see them like this anymore. I just want to ask for immunity for my father so that they can divorce smoothly. Of course, this is also my father’s wish, and he is ready to apply for divorce at all costs.”
Admiral Hans looked at Lu Xiao immediately after hearing this. He really didn't expect that Admiral Crane would want a divorce.
Although they all heard about how Admiral Kelan got married, they never thought that after so many years, Admiral Kelan was actually planning to divorce.
Her Majesty the Queen obviously did not expect that this was the reward Lu Xiao wanted.
How should I put it? She had thought that Lu Xiao might ask for money, but might refuse, or that he might not think about it now and would like to ask for it later.
But she never imagined that instead of doing it for herself, she did it for her male father.
"Your father is General Crane of the First Military Region?"
"Yes, Admiral Crane is my father."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded: "In that case, I will give you this exemption. If Admiral Crane wants a divorce, he does not need to be punished. The property will be divided naturally. All the parts that belong to him can be taken away and shared with you in the future." Is this okay if my mother has nothing to do with me anymore?”
Lu Xiao stood up and bowed solemnly to Her Majesty the Queen: "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen."
Admiral Hans swallowed his saliva. He came here today and was shocked so many times that he became numb. Her Majesty the Queen agreed without asking anything.
Why does he feel that Her Majesty the Queen is becoming more and more invisible today?
Before he could understand, Her Majesty the Queen looked at him: "The S-class shelter managed by Admiral Hans has achieved remarkable results. The number of recovered S-class males is increasing day by day. Your previous proposal can be promoted. As for you and the Fifth The rewards of the researchers at the institute will be awarded later.”
Admiral Hans quickly stood up and thanked him.
He didn't even mention this matter today, but Her Majesty the Queen passed it, which actually made him feel as if Her Majesty the Queen had returned to the past.
After saying this, Her Majesty the Queen looked at Lu Xiao again: "You are very good, Lu Xiao. I am very happy to see you today. If you have time in the future, bring your partner to see me. I also want to see how you persist." What is a protective househusband like?”
"Definitely."
When he and Admiral Hans came out of the study, they saw Admiral Hans wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
The old female who had been guarding the door was responsible for sending the two people out.
When she came back again, Her Majesty the Queen stood in front of the window: "What do you think of Lu Xiao?"
"She is very young and very courageous. She is not like those little females in the empire who have been raised useless." Those females are only arrogant, willful, and completely irresponsible.
"Yes, she has the shadow of Cecilia when she was young." At this point, Her Majesty the Queen suddenly smiled, "She refused my reward for her marriage today. She is really courageous and also She has a very bottom line and is very principled. Unlike me, if I had such a firm idea at the beginning, how could I be where I am today?”
"Your Majesty, it's been so long. You should look forward. I think if Prince Li Ke was still here, he wouldn't want to see you like this."
"No, if he were still alive and saw me like this, he wouldn't have any thoughts. He is extremely disappointed in me." After speaking, Her Majesty the Queen turned to the old female and smiled, "Lu Xiao showed me today, It’s not natural for females to be philandering and they can be controlled. All the reasons I used to find are not valid.”
Because when facing her, Lu Xiao could still refuse calmly and did not compromise at all because of her status.
At that moment, she knew what was the difference between herself and Lu Xiao?
Lu Xiao and General Hans came out of Sophie Manor, and they both exhaled at the same time.
Afterwards, General Hans suddenly laughed and said: "So Your Excellency Lu Xiao is also nervous?"
Lu Xiao stroked his forehead: "Admiral Hans, don't deify me. I'm just an ordinary person. I will naturally be nervous when facing Her Majesty the Queen."
Even her palms were still stained with sweat.
"But I think you are very courageous." Not only did he refuse Her Majesty the Queen's offer of marriage, he also sought immunity from divorce for his male father.
Who would have thought that at that time, Lu Xiao would be thinking not of herself, but of her male father?
It was really worth it for Admiral Crane to have a female cub who could still think about him at such a time in his life.
Lu Xiao smiled: "Hey, I didn't think about it that much at the time. Thinking about it now, well, Her Majesty the Queen actually has a pretty good temper."
She even accepted her strong refusal and even agreed to grant immunity from divorce. How could she not be considered good-tempered?
Her impression of Her Majesty the Queen has changed a bit. Maybe she is not pretending to show how affectionate she is here now, maybe she is really just repenting.
