Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 184 041 The Empress Dowager finally dismissed her displeased adjutant

When the Baden family arrived at Alexander's side, they also came to the door of the delivery room.

Carl Ludwig and Amalia were both worried about their daughters, especially Alexander, their son-in-law. His expression looked heart-wrenching, which made everyone around him feel uncomfortable.

Although Louisa's body was struggling, she still managed to get through this time without any danger. Family members were not allowed to enter yet, and she was cleaning the child's body and scrubbing the sweaty young queen.

After the on-site treatment was completed, Dr. Meyer allowed the Tsar himself to come in, and he had to wash his hands first, put on a mask, a surgical apron and a doctor's little white hat.

Not to mention, this tsar is really a beautiful clothes hanger. He can look very stylish even in the "white tsar" style. It's no wonder that he is a darling in the social circle.

"Your Majesty, it seems that mother and child are safe at the moment. After confirming that Your Highness is in good health, we can let her go to the ward inside. However, the patient still needs to be turned over every day and cleaned as before. Body, take a bath twice a day. After all, Your Highness is a young lady who loves beauty and cleanliness, and I..."

"Okay, Doctor Meyer, thank you too. I really didn't expect that this time we would need doctors from the Guards, as well as adjutants and maids."

"The girls' performance is very good. If they are not from noble families and receive certain nursing knowledge training, they can also become excellent medical staff. Even if they do not go out to serve in the hospital, these nursing knowledge can still be used at home. Even to protect their own lives.”

"Ah, I think so. I will set up a health department specifically for this matter."

When Alexander saw Louisa lying weakly in the bed sheets, he did feel pity. Sometimes he was just a showman, and sometimes he had real feelings. At this time, Louisa looked at him with a bit of confusion in her eyes. However, it was common for husband and wife to see their bodies together, and Meyer also handed over "Flash" and left the delivery room. After all, it was not appropriate for him to be here at the moment.

Solovyov and Big Natalia are helping to take care of Louisa's children. Both children have not yet opened their eyes. If the children are slow to open their eyes, it may take a few days, or better, 24 hours later. .

"Misha, your movements are really skillful."

"After all, our family is not a big one, Natasha. My dad doesn't even hire many servants."

"As for Aniya, how could you be so bold?"

"You may not believe it when I tell you. When my sister died young, everyone in the family thought that my mother was dead. But when we sent her to the church, she came back to life. At that time, we thought it was a miracle. . It’s a pity that no miracle happened to my sister.”

"I've heard about that State Lady. You, the newcomer, have made a great contribution today. If you hadn't pushed His Highness's belly a few times, he would have had to ask the doctor to use forceps."

Outside the Winter Palace, on the Palace Embankment and on Million Street, the surrounding squares were celebrating because the Queen "successfully gave birth to an heir." After all, the citizens of Petersburg didn't know that Louisa's mother had given birth to twins in her first child. Unexpectedly, the queen could give birth to two children at this time.

As for the name of the crown prince, someone has already given odds. The one named "Pavel" has the highest odds. Paul II may appear in the future. Many people are still grateful to the old emperor who unfortunately passed away. The more The poorer citizens are more like this. After all, Paul really improved their lives.

Especially the day when the child was born was the old emperor's birthday, which seemed to give people the feeling of God's will.

Alexander thought of this when he saw the birth of the girl, but the birth of two children at once always brought some omens for the Russian royal family, which had always been superstitious.

Naming the child is also a problem. Alexander has mixed emotions now. He feels like a phantom, and he also saw Solovyov.

"Lisa, I think that when naming our children, the first-born child should be named Polina to commemorate the father. The next child will be named Polina. What do you think?"

"It's like a dream of light and shadow. I'm going to see the children later. The doctor wrapped me in sterilized cotton like this. I just thought it was like when Tonya was born, it was really painful. "

"Just rest for a while. Next year, if the time is right, we will go to Moscow, where there will be a second coronation."

"As for the name, I think Natasha read me a recent poem last night, by Zhukovsky."

“You mean, there was a short poem ‘Svetlana’ improvised by a young civil servant whose name seems to be Vasily Zhukovsky?”

"The words are very beautiful, Sashka. Although I was born in Karlsruhe and am a girl from the Baden Marquis family, I learned Russian very quickly. Vasya's poems are beautiful and can be used. Completed as a long poem, this is just the beginning of a poem.”

"I heard this poem, it seems to be 'The Evening of the Epiphany'."

Alexander was not able to hear the entire content because the scene was too noisy at the time, but Louisa let Sonia, who was at the scene, get a copy of the excerpt in the palace.

"Right in my hand, pressed under my little crown."

"Let me see. The poem goes like this: 'On an Epiphany night, the girls divined and took off their shoes.' Louisa, I think you are like your grandmother sometimes, but There is just a little bit of her. When I was young, my grandmother often walked on the ground barefoot, but sometimes it’s not like her. Grandma is so majestic, but you are so gentle. "

"Your Majesty, please grant me this wish. It seems that 'Miss Filippova' was very eye-catching that day. The completed part of this long poem contains the coronation ring."

"Okay, Lisa, I will fulfill your wish. Our daughters are Polina and Svetlana, but I don't know if the mother will allow it." Alexander knew that his adjutant was disguised as a woman. , that day caused a legend among the young civil servants and Guards officers. Someone actually described it, so it is quite appropriate to use such a name.

The Queen Mother was still very disappointed that Louisa gave birth to another girl. She was not present at the scene. When she heard the sound of the cannons, she thought that her annoying daughter-in-law had given birth to a grandson this time.

The queen was worried at the beginning. If there were too many girls, she would be worried when she got married.

When it came to naming her granddaughter, she was also somewhat opposed to using such a strange name. It was still a coinage in 1801, but Alexander brought out the poems of Vasily Zhukovsky. The empress dowager's cultural level was limited. , it’s hard to say anything.

"Although it is a gift poem, it sounds like a courtship. Who is the girl that day? I have never seen that girl among your wife's maids. She is very beautiful. You can find her as your lover."

Alexander felt very strange, what happened to his mother today?

The empress dowager didn't quite know that it was her annoying little lieutenant, and this costume would never appear again. The young tsar also felt that there was no need for his mother to know the truth, so he acted it out.

Besides, he was not Alexander the Great of Macedonia. Considering that there was something wrong with his mother's eyesight, everyone knew that Bagration's daughter-in-law was severely short-sighted. The Empress Dowager probably had old eyesight, so she definitely couldn't see clearly.

"That girl is actually a nun in the hospital who takes care of Lisa. As you know, some doctors are not necessarily better than our military doctors. If Mr. Meyer hadn't been here,"

Alexander is a playboy, but when his wife is in danger, he still has something to say.

As for the naming issue, Queen Mother Maria couldn't stop it.

It was just that when the two children opened their eyes the next day, Louisa happened to have cleaned their bodies, and when she brought the children close to her eyes, she could see that there were some differences in the eyes of the two girls.

"Although they both have blond hair from the womb, Her Highness Polina's eyes are blue, while Her Highness Svetlana's eyes are green. The shapes of their eyes are very similar to yours, Your Highness."

They also have those innocent and clear eyes like a deer, especially when the eyes of a newborn baby can be opened.

"They all look a lot like me, that's good."

Louisa's body was well maintained this time, and she even felt that she was fine. She didn't necessarily need a wet nurse, but she could feed the child by herself.

Of course, Louisa didn't notice how the green-eyed child came about, and seemed to think it was God's will.

The same goes for Alexander. After all, their family is more superstitious than science. Even Louisa, who knows more about science, cannot think of genetic factors.

The only one in the family who always paid attention to this matter was the deceased Tsar Paul, but during the baptism, he would also excuse it to the female official on the side.

He had no chance to question the color of his granddaughter's eyes, she was laid to rest in the Royal Church Cemetery in the Peter and Paul Fortress.

But Solovyov, who followed Alexander around the Winter Palace, understood this factor. However, green eyes are usually replaced by blue eyes. Winning this award is really exciting.

He couldn't say anything about this kind of thing.

His main task recently was to serve as a tour guide for Louisa's family, and to lead Amalia to the coffin of her sister, Princess Natalia, Paul's first wife and Louisa's aunt.

The ending of that lady was fixed in the portrait, and it also involved a scandal in the royal family. Paul always believed in his wife, but the queen finally brought out the evidence, and Paul became calm. He was treating his second wife, That is to say, during the time of Queen Mother Maria, she was not so serious in the later stages.

At this moment, there is another thing for the royal family. The two women hired by Count Kutaisov have given birth one after another, and it is not very convenient to find a foster carer.

"Musina Yurieva? Evdokya and Marfa?"

When Solovyov heard the baby girl's last name, his mind turned quickly and he had already guessed it.

"I think you are going to carry out this secret mission and send these two children to my aunt and tell her to take good care of them. In addition, I know that you applied for a new position in the court of Petersburg some time ago. Cheating will always lead to misunderstandings. Even in the Queen Mother's house, except for a few people who knew about it, no one found out that the maid "Miss Filipova" was actually an agile major adjutant in the Guards. But you also have to go abroad. , go to Sweden.”

"Your Majesty, I think that when I go to Sweden at this time, I will not only do something in Stockholm or other places, but also conduct reconnaissance."

"Why do you want to go to Sweden for reconnaissance?"

"I think the King of Sweden is an erratic ass. He can make Her Highness Alexandra suffer so much injustice. He married Her Highness the Queen's sister, but made Her Highness suffer injustice. The actions of such a person may bite us again one day."

"Good idea. I originally only planned to let you escort the relatives from Baden to Stockholm. Now I think you are really useful. This way you have to go through Finland. You just need to go to Sweden as a temporary military attaché in Stockholm. Also, to see Frederica's situation. After all, she is Lisa's closest. Sister, see what is going on in the Swedish court. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"That way, I can explain it. You probably don't know that the Queen Mother has never liked you, right? There is something even more interesting. Your appearance as a man dressed as a woman caught the Queen Mother's eye. She also asked me if I wanted you to be my lover. But you must keep this a secret and not let anyone know. The confidentiality period is about 20 years!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, by then, no one may remember such things clearly!"

As for dealing with the Swedes and conducting such a reconnaissance, Solovyov actually wanted to do it a long time ago. It is not a good thing to always stay in Petersburg.

These relatives of Louisa also lived in the Winter Palace. After all, there are thousands of rooms that can be used here, and there are also hundreds of suites.

Among them, Alexander agreed to the request of his sister-in-law Amalia to stay with Louisa, and the Tsar's father-in-law and mother-in-law were going back to Baden, but they also brought a letter, which was the intention of Russia and Austria to secretly conclude a secret agreement.

Alexander was very smart. This kind of thing must be concealed. If he went directly from Petersburg to Vienna, he would be discovered at the gate of Schönbrunn Palace. If he went through Baden to visit relatives, it might be effective.

Although the Tsar was not good at fighting, and except for the artillery, he was not necessarily better than his wife, but his diplomatic ability and personal beauty were still there.
