Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 387 029 This survey result is too historical

When little Natalia came to take over, she replaced little Katya. She was really open-minded. She knew what her lover's purpose was when he came here.

Okhotnikov's target has always been the queen.

Although Louisa has several children, she lacks the care of others. When she is with Maria Naryshkina, this feeling is not normal.

Although there are a lot of gossips from others, there are more or less sympathetic voices in the court of Petersburg.

Therefore, a subtle ambiguous atmosphere was created for the young officers of the Guards.

At the beginning, when Louisa was still the Grand Duchess, there was nothing. Except for Count Platon Zubov, no one else made any offensive actions beyond the boundary.

When she became the Crown Princess, the rumors at this time always revolved around the Polish prince Czartoryski, which made him go to Portugal for a time and stay away from court life.

On the contrary, Solovyov unexpectedly became familiar with Louisa during the patrol, and then developed a secret relationship.

During this period, many misunderstandings occurred among the Guards Infantry, resulting in many young officers of the Guards being transferred because of the attack on Peterhof Palace, and some unlucky ones even went to the Caucasus.

The attack only cut off the path of those reckless Guards Infantry officers to pay attention to Louisa, but in the Guards Cavalry, there were still some adventurers of similar age who tried to imitate those famous figures in the Queen's era.

However, there were also problems. The Grand Duchesses had to get married. After the Queen Mother became a widow, she only had frequent correspondence with Count Rumyantsev, the second son of the old marshal, and she was a princess of Württemberg, so she didn't buy into this.

Apart from this, Louisa was the only one in the palace who was more likely to be "tricked", but there was a strange thing, that is, the education of the Baden family still made the princesses more dutiful and restrained, and they all had this little problem.

If they lack emotional nourishment, they will also have lovers.

The one with the most serious problem in this regard is undoubtedly Louisa, after all, Alexander is too proud.

Therefore, she often feels emotionally empty. If it weren't for Solovyov's strong substitution effect and the child as an emotional connection, she might have been taken advantage of by this man.

In that case, it would be a restoration of history.

But the atmosphere is weird. After he found little Natalia, he didn't succeed with Louisa, but first developed a path for the place of path dependence, and got together with the maid that the queen used to favor.

Although Okhotnikov still has an ultimate goal, little Natalia is really too fragrant.

He came here today and was accidentally bumped into by little Katya outside.

If little Katya was not a good child who was obedient and sensible, knocked on the door before entering, and waited there for a while, then this matter would be a big deal.

The cavalry captain came out of the closet, observed the surroundings, coughed twice, and quietly left the Tafrid Palace.

As for his cavalry saber, it was the only flaw that Katya saw.

But this was not surprising. Many of the palace maids were familiar with the officers of the Guards. They were educated at home. The girls from the Smolny Palace Girls' School often met with young people from the Guards, and there were even more such things that might happen.

But as the queen's personal maid, so was little Natalia. She herself had no intention of digging a hole for her sister.

After all, little Natalia was an illegitimate daughter, and her father seduced another woman's daughter-in-law to give birth to her. Although there were few people gossiping about her, her background would inevitably cause some disturbances, which was not good for her reputation.

Little Katya is the eldest daughter of a legitimate noble family. Her grandfather is the commander-in-chief of Moscow, second only to the field marshal, and her father is also a retired lieutenant general and a retired privy councilor. There is no need to argue about this issue.

Little Katya didn't even think that bullying people with a noble family background was somewhat bad reputation. Instead, she also wanted to protect the reputation of little Natalia, who helped her a lot after she came to the palace to serve the queen.

In the previous incident of Prince Saltykov's family, little Natalia also put forward her own opinions to little Katya after knowing about it.

Her sister who was good to her had some minor problems with her personal morality, and there was no need to investigate it deeply.

But she had no way not to tell Louisa or the head lady, so it was very troublesome.

"What should I do?"

The first person she thought of was her mother, Princess Catherine, but she couldn't tell the whole thing yet, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

Especially now that they are guests of Prince Saltykov's house and are staying in the prince's house, if the "old witch" lady knows about it, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

The smaller one is that she herself will be used as a handle; the more serious one is that the queen does not discipline her subordinates strictly.

Of course, she has no experience in this regard, and it is not popular in Russia to depose the queen. Louisa is from a foreign country and has to see the international outlook.

Alexander may not take it seriously, but the trouble he will cause may still be endless.

Although little Katya is still a little natural now, she also knows not to gossip in other people's homes, so she brought up the matter when she went to the Peterhof Summer Palace with her mother.

"Mom, I want to tell you something."

"Katya, you must have something on your mind."

"Yeah, so that bothers me a little too."

"My Katya is also worried about something. Whose boy do you like? Or is it a handsome young officer that you are secretly attracted to?"

"It's not me. Whether it's the Tafrid Palace or the Winter Palace, there are many people who came to the palace before me, not only with Her Royal Highness the Queen, but also with Her Royal Highness Catherine, and Her Majesty the Queen Mother. I have many good sisters here, and they will always be pursued by the Guards officers. Mom, you must have been pursued by someone when you were young, right?"

The prince's wife actually laughed after hearing this.

"My child, it's not the trouble you encounter, but it will also make you troubled when your friend encounters this kind of thing. You haven't grown up yet, but you are very kind-hearted. When my mother was young, she married you Dad was very popular before."

Of course, in order to prevent little Katya's three views from exploding, she did not mention being pursued by Prince Potemkin after marriage.

However, Prince Potemkin’s family does have content that can be referenced.

"Katya, you know those nieces of Prince Potemkin, right?"

"Of course I know. Those aunts are all well married, and their daughters are also very familiar with our family."

"One of them, like Prince Volkonsky, is not Peter's uncle Dmitri in the palace, but Prince Nicholas, the one with thick eyebrows."

"ah?"

Little Katya did know that Prince Nicholas, who was older and more serious about others, married an old woman, but his wife had been dead for many years, and it didn't look like the kind of family that made headlines.

That's why she was so confused.

Seeing her daughter like this, the prince's wife made it very clear.

"Don't look at that prince like that, Katya. He was favored by Prince Potemkin. When he was single, he rejected the marriage proposed by Prince Potemkin, and then he was unlucky. Better His official career was not going well for many years, and it was only after the death of the prince that he was appointed ambassador to Berlin, which was considered a turn of events. "

"But this has nothing in common with my friend's troubles, right?"

Seeing that her daughter was a little confused, the prince's wife continued: "There is no difference between a woman loving a man and a man loving a woman. If they are not suitable, it will always bring trouble. For men, it is often It’s the failure of your career, but women are the entanglement of emotions, and even your happiness in this life.”

"A lifetime of happiness?"

"That's true, Katya. Your father is a good man with a magnanimous personality. We have a very good relationship as husband and wife. Although there is a slight age gap, we still have the four of you."

The prince's wife is quite satisfied with this kind of life, and her life is quite happy. At least Vasily Vasilyevich is relatively submissive to his wife, who is 17 years younger than him. This time, the two of them were deported because of the prince himself. , but traveled to many places in Europe.

She also felt that she could use this matter to talk about the kind of man her daughter would marry.

"When your sister meets a man, she should calm down and consider her own situation and the other person's purpose. If the other person just wants to use her, she should be more cautious."

The words could only go so far, and the mother and daughter did not continue the topic.

After little Katya returned, she did not make her own decision, but went to talk to little Natalia.

It's just that there are too many things that she couldn't think of, and the amount of information is a bit large. After all, Okhotnikov's purpose is to win the heart of Her Royal Highness the Queen through little Natalia.

"Natasha, you are putting yourself in big trouble!"

Although Katya is the younger sister in terms of age, she has always been well-behaved. Although she is a bit immature, she is still analyzing this matter calmly.

"But he loves me very much. Even if he has a purpose, it is much better than others."

"But this is not good. If something happens and causes a scandal, I'm afraid it will involve you. After all, it involves..."

Little Katya was still very careful. When she mentioned this, she didn't point out the queen's name or any possible relevant information, so that the other party could understand.

"What will happen?"

"Good sister, if you do this, you will be reprimanded, and maybe I can arrange for you to marry into a good family. If it is worse, I don't think the female official will let you go. Losing the qualification as a maid is a trivial matter. If something else happens, my family will be involved. Natasha, although I am the youngest among the maids, I still remember that my father was implicated and expelled. "

This actually made little Natalia sober up. Alyosha did not come here for her, but because he wanted to be close to Her Royal Highness the Queen.

But she was unwilling to hurt Alyosha, a handsome young officer and an outstanding figure in the cavalry.

Alyosha had never been to the front line, which was a drawback, but he was so powerful and unlike those reckless and philanthropic fellows among the cavalry officers.

"What can I do?"

Little Katya had no experience in this area. After all, she only had some contact with young soldiers at dances and when someone visited her home on weekdays. She was still a pure girl who had never been in love.

Although she was precocious in behavior, she was still blank in emotion and could not provide any help to little Natalia.

She could not even ask others for advice on this matter.

Among the people she knew in Petersburg, she knew who was smarter. However, Solovyov, who was very ambitious recently and made plans in the office all day, could not tell that he had four lovers, one of whom was her most beloved Queen.

He should not provide any help in emotional issues, little Katya thought so arbitrarily.

Moreover, he was Alexander's confidant. If he accidentally revealed it, everyone would be in trouble.

This cute little white rabbit did not know what the green-eyed fox brother was doing, and he also had some experience in this area.

But she did learn from Solovyov and began to analyze the problem. She had seen him do this in Dresden, on the trip to Paris, and on the way back home this time.

"Natasha, what hobbies does the cavalry captain have?"

"He likes opera, and sometimes talks to me about music."

After listening to it, little Katya felt that it had no intelligence value, and planned to start from other aspects to find Okhotnikov's weaknesses.

"Is he greedy for money?"

"No."

"But he is lustful, likes you, sister, and likes other women. This is not blameworthy from the social environment, but he is not loyal to you."

"But this is not a problem, I love him."

After thinking for a long time, little Katya began to hold her forehead. Now with her social experience, she couldn't think of a good solution.

Until finally, she remembered that the people in the Navy Hospital often sent female nurses to cooperate with the maids to give them physical examinations.

"Is he healthy?"

"Alyosha is so tall and strong, how could he get sick? But I always see him coughing and his face is ruddy."

Little Katya felt that this was a life-saving straw, so she said to little Natalia.

"Natasha, you can suggest that he go for a physical examination. His face is ruddy and he coughs, maybe it's some infectious disease. And you, sister, have never been infected. I don't know if it's God's blessing that keeps you healthy."

What little Katya thought of was too much of a historical restoration. Okhotnikov really had a lung disease, and it was tuberculosis, but the strange thing was that it was not very contagious. Either the bacteria was less toxic, or little Natalia's stupid physique that didn't catch a cold allowed her to escape.

The breakthrough came in a very unexpected place.
