Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Louisa had to stroke the heads of these girls to comfort them, wipe their tears one by one, and put her face close to them to comfort them.

"Don't be afraid, I'm fine, I'm fine. You three should go back to sleep, we don't need you here. Natasha, you should go inside to sleep, don't wake up Masha."

The three girls either went back to the maid's room, or Natalia was allowed to sleep in Louisa's bedroom. After all, they received such orders at this time every day.

After they all left, Solovyov got up and wanted to run away.

"Your Highness, you should rest early. I still have to go on patrol."

As soon as he turned around, he found two slender arms around his waist.

"Misha, don't leave."

"Your Highness." He could already feel Louisa's slender body pressed against his back, her cheek was at the back of his neck, and there was that unforgettable smell of almond perfume, and her hair was a little wet.

This prince is so sick, but he still insists on taking a bath every day. He really loves cleanliness.

"I still have to go on duty. It would be bad if someone found out that the officer on duty is not there."

"That's you, Misha, you are my Gabriel. No one else is as dedicated as you are, to everyone, to His Majesty and Alexander." At this point, she hugged him tighter, but she only had this little strength, after all, she was a delicate beauty.

"Your Highness, but this will really be troublesome. I will lose my life. You may also know how Henry VIII treated his wife, and those terrible court stories."

Soloviev didn't want to answer a fatal question. His desire to survive was still very strong. He was full of sympathy for the weak Crown Princess and liked her very much. But if something really happened at this time, the Russian court would not care whether she was a princess of a certain vassal. Being imprisoned in Arkhangelsk might be Paul's pity for his eldest daughter-in-law who he had always favored.

If the little Poland next door did it, he was just sent to be an ambassador to a foreign country, and there was no solid evidence, not to mention that Louisa had asked a maid to go back to the bedroom.

"It doesn't matter, you just have to accompany me to the study, where there is no one on weekdays."

"What do I need to accompany you for?"

"What time do you have to go back, Misha?"

"It's ten o'clock in the evening. As an officer on duty, I have to return at one o'clock in the morning."

"Then you can stay here with me for two hours, and you can agree to Maria's request no matter how she asks you."

"But Her Highness Maria is still a child. She just wants delicious fruit, good music, and stories to tell her."

"You have to tell me stories too."

She turned Solovyov's body, and Solovyov had to turn around.

"Well, I can be sure that no officer of the Guards would come here to patrol at this time."

"Except you, come with me."

Soloviev's movements were not so fast. After Louisa opened the door of her reading room, there were two large semicircular bookshelves in the middle, and vertical bookshelves on all four sides, like a library, full of various books, and carefully classified.

"Come here and sit here."

That should normally be the seat of the reading maid, but it is very soft to sit on.

"It feels like sitting in a cake. The cushion is so soft."

"My father was the commander of the Butyrsky Musketeer Regiment in the Field Marshal's Expeditionary Force. It must have been very hard during the expedition, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The Butyrsky Regiment was awarded by the Emperor, but it was only based on military merit. However, the soldiers in our place call this regiment the 'in-law regiment'. After all, the Crown Prince of Baden is your father."

After all, her grandfather is still alive. In Germany, there are always old princes who have not been able to ascend the throne for decades, but there are also those who have been on the throne from life to death. Who knows when an accident will happen?

"It should be OK to go to Italy, but it must be very hard in Switzerland, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, we were also marching in bad weather at that time, and we had to suffer from cold and hunger along the way. Not to mention the soldiers, even we officers had no food twice, and even the Grand Marshal and His Highness Constantine had been hungry."

Before she started to listen to Solovyov reading to her, Louisa began to wipe her tears. She was more sympathetic to the soldiers who went on the expedition. As a princess of a German prince, she was more concerned about Russian affairs.

"Your Highness, don't cry."

"I know it's not easy for you. Men go out to fight for reasons. But it's like this now. If we continue to fight, it will only make more men bleed, and women and children cry at home."

"Okay, Your Highness, don't be sentimental. Let's read a story. I think this will also help you fall asleep."

"I don't want to sleep, so you read the story to me, and keep an eye on the pocket watch, so that no one will find out."

Even for a prince of such status, women always need to be told stories to make them happy.

"Well, if you want to listen, I'll pick out a book."

"No need for anything else, just read me a passage from your own translation. There are all the newspapers of the Petersburg News here, you can read one of them."

"Well, Your Highness, let's read this"

Soloviev accidentally pulled out the "fine" content that he had worked hard to translate. The story of the blind date in Ganlu Temple is probably known.

And he also copied the Yuefu poems below. He did it in vain. He couldn't forget the content he had read before his head was hit, and he happened to copy part of "Midnight Four Seasons Song". Why not remember something else? Remember all these four songs.

According to the rules of translating poetry, you must fully understand the meaning.

"Your Highness, what do you think after listening to it?"

"You are very passionate, Misha, 'The passionate spring breeze blows my dress open' (La brise printanière passionnée, faire sauter ma robe), the Chinese words are also very clever, even if you translate it, you can feel it."

Soloviev didn't expect that he had already filled in the answer to the "fatal question" when he was still not familiar with Louisa.

"Do you like me?"

"Faced with such a beauty, if I tell a lie against my will, it will hurt your heart. But if I tell the truth, I will have to face the trick of fate."

"Are you still unwilling to say it directly? Mon poète, you can tell it as much as you want. My three maids are sisters. All three of them can fall asleep immediately when they lie on the bed. Especially the lovely Natasha, as long as she lies on the recliner, the cute kitten will curl up and fall asleep."

"Your Highness, I don't want to use those gorgeous words either. Ich liebe dich! This is enough. I can be sure that Natalia should not understand German either."

"You are too careful, mon ange Gabriel, je vous aime aussi!"

Louisa grabbed Solovyov's hand. Although she looked very active now, Solovyov was actually the more active one when several accidents happened.

"Your Highness, can I touch you?"

"Of course."

However, Louisa did not expect that Solovyov would first touch her wrist, take her pulse, and then find the position of her heart along her neck.

"Misha, are you still worried about my health?"

"Yes, Your Highness, your heart is a little weak. There should be a device that can hear your heartbeat without getting close to your body. I think this is it. I still have to wash my ears first, so that I can ensure hygiene."

He did not forget to quickly draw the structure of the hose stethoscope. This serious look made Louisa laugh.

"You can put your ears on my chest. Don't be so shy, you are blushing, my cute little brother."

Uh. This is a reasonably adapted word by the skunk prince at Warner Bros. Louisa made herself smell good, which is really the opposite of her characteristics.

"Then I still need to clean my auricle first."

"The alcohol is on the bookshelf. I like cleanliness, so I left it here for the maids to use."

After he wiped both ears, he put his ears on Louisa's chest and began to listen to the heart.

"The heartbeat is a little weak, but it is still very stable. You may be born with a deficiency. This is the root cause of the disease before birth."

"When I was a child, I was very weak."

Luisa grew up in Karlsruhe, the capital of Baden, in a warm family environment. When she was born, she was small and weak, and her parents were worried that she would not grow up.

At that time, the doctor even thought that it was a miracle for her to grow up. However, shortly after learning that Louisa was born, the empress and Paul, who was still the crown prince at the time, sent congratulatory letters-Louisa's mother Amalia of Hesse was once one of Paul's candidate wives, and the Russian court has always had close contacts with the courts of German princes.

When she grew up, she came to St. Petersburg with her sister and became Alexander’s wife.

In St. Petersburg, she felt lonely the most. After the death of the empress, Paul, as her father-in-law, took care of her, but he was not able to give her much care because of his busy political affairs. Queen Maria came from Württemberg, a neighboring country of Baden, and as a mother-in-law, she was always hostile to her. Although she has eased recently, when Alexander was outside with the Polish woman, she actually said that it was Louisa herself who "lacked means" and "had been cared for too long". And so on. Maybe this little girl who married to St. Petersburg has always been liked by the empress, as well as her "beauty and elegance"; As for Alexander, his problem is that Soloviev, as a witness, finds it hard to believe that he has such a wife with many virtues at home, and he can find Polish women outside. His home was almost attacked by the neighboring Małopolska.

As for the other girls in the family, they are destined to get married. Although Constantine protects his sister-in-law, he only protects her reputation and can't help much.

This made her feel lonely all the time, and she became more and more lonely. The "little fairy" beside Elena was her good sister. She came to her and made her happy for a few days. Then she got married and could not stay in the palace all the time. She always wanted to lock herself up. It would be best if she could go to seclusion or become a nun to get a moment of peace.

When she recalled her 21 years of life experience, she found that although she was born noble, she had never experienced true happiness since she left her hometown of Karlsruhe.

"Your Highness, are you listening to me?"

After listening to Louisa's heart, Solovyov sat on the chair and said seriously.

"Your body is too weak, you need to supplement some nutrition and use herbs for treatment. What I can think of is to use ginseng to supplement. Well, this is to replenish vitality. And use salvia miltiorrhiza to promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation."

Seeing Solovyov's serious look, Louisa laughed.

"Haha, you are really a very serious little doctor. I know you are doing this for my own good. But sometimes, it's not just about prescribing herbs. I know what you think."

Soloviev blushed after Louisa grabbed his hands.

"Yes, Your Highness, I have just said that in response to you, je vous aime aussi, ma muse. (I like you, my muse, too)"

Louisa could tell that when Alexander said this to her, there was a bit of flattery in it.

And Solovyov, he knew the consequences of some things, so he was very cautious when he said this, which required courage.

At the same time, as a guardian, it was a bit difficult for him to be an adventurer.

"Then we should"

Soloviev looked at Louisa on the recliner, lifted her up, and first touched her cheek. When he felt her arms around his back, he first picked her up in a princess hug, and then kissed her.

He was no longer on alert, and he had relaxed his vigilance to some extent, but there was no need to worry too much. This was the safest place now. Natalia, the only one in the palace, was sleeping soundly, and the study had always been checked for soundproofing measures in advance to keep quiet and not be disturbed. In addition, the location where they kissed was between two large semicircular bookshelves, so it was difficult for outsiders to notice.

That same night, Alexander was still pouring out his heart in Maria Naryshkina's arms, and the distance was quite far, and he had no plan to come back.

But Solovyov was still very careful. After kissing passionately for a while, he considered the following issues.

"Can I call you Louisa or Lisa in private?"

"Louisa is my original name, you can call me whatever you want."

"I think, Louisa, you have to go back to the bedroom, and I need to go back to my post."

"I'm going to sleep here, and I'll fall asleep in a while. If I go to the bedroom, I'm afraid I'll wake up Masha."

"But you'll catch a cold, wait a minute."

Solovyov is very caring. When he rests at home, he often takes care of his family. When he goes out on an expedition, even the servants of Marshal Suvorov are surprised that a young master is so skilled in serving people.

He found a soft cushion and a blanket in the reception room and covered Louisa with them.

"Thank you, Mishka."

"Good night, Lisa."

Soloviev kissed Louisa on the forehead and left in a hurry. He himself had to complain about his stealth skills, which were learned during the Italian expedition. After returning to the officer's duty room, an adjutant complained that he was slacking off.

What he thought was: I dare not slack off, otherwise I may fill in the answer to the "fatal question" at any time.

Louisa slept soundly, she fell asleep on the recliner, because in the study, no one could see her like this.

After leaving home for so long, she rarely felt happiness other than her own children. Before, she only felt this kind of happiness when she was with the empress and the newlyweds.
