Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796
Chapter 493 005 Charlotte and Nicholas' meeting
Soloviev's memorial arrived in St. Petersburg very quickly. He sent it in November, when St. Petersburg was facing a diplomatic decision, namely the issue of relations with Sweden.
Alexander was also very annoyed. The King of Sweden was unwilling to withdraw from the anti-French alliance and hoped to gain benefits in Norway. It was difficult to persuade him with good words.
But when he saw these documents, Queen Louise came here with her daughters to visit. Naturally, he couldn't get angry, but still had to make a gesture.
Especially, his wife and Queen Louise brought their daughters with them, so he couldn't have such an impression.
"Your Majesty, King Gustav meant that he would not betray Britain and rejected the suggestion of diplomatic negotiations."
"Budberg, you have worked hard. This kind of thing is always unavoidable. We can find a time to hold a meeting later. You can call all the main officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at that time."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"You don't have to learn the British way. When you meet the monarch, you don't have to walk backwards when you leave, especially since I am sitting at the door and there is a French window behind me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After all, Budberg was once his teacher, so Alexander still maintained a certain respect.
As for Queen Louise in front of him, she couldn't let this guest leave now, and she pretended that this thing didn't happen.
In fact, for Prussia, it can still get some benefits back from Sweden. Those towns along the coast of Pomerania that belong to Sweden can belong to Prussia, so the queen herself pretended not to hear it and was still holding Louisa's youngest daughter, Little Lisa.
Of course, her spectacular pair of white grapefruits is obviously very popular with children.
Since their real names actually overlap, Queen Louise's formal name for Louisa is also her name in Russia.
"Look at your little Lisa, she seems to like me very much."
"Fortunately, she has been weaned, otherwise she might want to ask you, what did I say?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm pregnant again now, and it's still okay to raise a child."
Although Queen Louise's health is not as good as before, she is still much stronger than Louisa.
And Alexander also knows that after taking care of his older daughters, he left the Queen's bedroom and prepared to go to the Emperor's bedroom. As for what he was going to do there, the two queens here didn't know.
After all, the monarch also has some privacy rights, and Alexander is a passionate person.
You know, Queen Louise's long-term residence here is also easy to cause gossip. Fortunately, after she moved from Memel, she has been living with the Queen, and she is pregnant.
Even if the person who did this was locked in Napoleon, it was impossible for Alexander to have anything to do with him. He had a good personal relationship with the Queen of Prussia, but considering that the other party had fabricated rumors about him and his sister-in-law, this matter was not a good one.
Therefore, the Queen's bedroom has recently developed into a large gathering place for mothers. Elena and Maria will also bring their children here to exchange experiences in raising children and share their babies.
Only Maria brought her son. Elena's eldest son Paul Frederick was already not young. If he was playing, he would be called away by Nicholas and Mikhail and was not here.
And Luisa also adopted the daughter of her best friend Golitsyna, who was also named Elizabeth. As for this Princess Golitsyna, that is, Natalia, she was in poor health and had to go to the sanatorium but could not bring her children, so she sent her daughter to the palace when she was just weaned.
Luisa also intended to adopt some of her best friends' children as playmates for each of her daughters, especially the children born by her closest partners.
At this moment, she gave her biological daughter to Queen Louise, and she took care of Natalia's child.
"Lisa, why does your daughter have green eyes?"
Queen Louise has always been sensitive and gossipy, and she will not miss any possible gossip.
"But look at Lisa's face shape, it is still very similar to mine, and the child's hair is golden, which may be God's will. When I gave birth to Polina and Sveta, one of them had blue eyes and the other had green eyes. But now, aren't they both healthy and lively?"
Moreover, a pair of 6-year-old twins have more minds than their two sisters combined. In addition to being naughty, these minds are used to be cute and adorable.
They have conquered Charlotte and pulled Charlotte's arms on the left and right. Although they are not clever or cunning, they have also taken away a lot of candies brought by Queen Louise from the hands of the Prussian princess.
"These two kids are really smart and lovable, but don't let them eat too much candy, it's bad for their teeth. Charlotte is just an older child, she just likes these two little sisters, and she gives them candy without restraint."
"That's easy, Misha took care of our candy when he was in the palace. This guy has a wife now, and he's on his honeymoon trip in Crimea, I'm afraid he has forgotten us all."
Elena found Maria's interruption strange, she has always been the smartest among the sisters, she knew Maria's little thoughts, but she just wanted to have an ambiguous relationship with Solovyov, she didn't dare to think about it if it went further.
But they all married abroad, and the Russian princesses always had very powerful families. If there was really a little bit of unbridled one, it would not be surprising.
Especially the fourth sister Catherine, she was spoiled by her mother. If the brother-in-law was cowardly and not very capable, it might be more troublesome.
She didn't expect Maria to show her affection to Solovyov in private, and even kissed him. She didn't go further because Maria also took into account that Solovyov was going to get married, and she still blessed the person she liked. She would talk about what to do in the future, so there was no bigger news in the Jelgava Palace at that time.
Thinking about Solovyov, he was very polite and well-behaved in front of her, so he would not resist wearing women's clothes.
She could guess that the maid in the small ceremony of the coronation of the emperor's brother and sister-in-law in Petersburg might be the cunning fox Misha in disguise, but she couldn't say it out.
Elena was always the smartest among the sisters, and she knew her limits. She was very quiet, liked her husband, and loved him deeply.
Therefore, her married life was the sweetest, and she gave birth to three children. Her husband came from Schwerin to accompany her because he was worried about her health, and he took good care of her.
Queen Louise looked at her with a little envy. When the two were in Berlin, the citizens gave high praise to their beauty. But looking at her husband, King FW, compared with Elena's calm and tall husband, she was not as good as him.
If it weren't for the country of her husband and children, and for her own family relationship, she might have to learn to live another life like her sister.
At this time, Queen Louise's gossip spirit awakened again, and she started asking Maria before Elena opened her mouth.
"Who is that Misha? In Russia, they are called Mikhail, but there are many people called Michael in our place. General Kutuzov is called this name, and the young Prince Dolgorukov is also called this name."
Queen Louise seemed to be searching indiscriminately, but in fact, she knew something in her mind. She had heard a little about the things in the Petersburg Palace.
Elena spoke at this time: "It's Count Solovyov. He used to be a guard officer beside my father. Because he is educated and understands music and art, I often call him to the palace to help."
"So it's him. He is really good-looking and talented."
The queen has always paid more attention to her image. This time, she endured humiliation for Prussia. There were many rumors in the outside world. Even the main reason was not from Napoleon's dirty talk. There were people on duty outside to testify that the queen and Napoleon had been talking across the table. The Prussian king was a bit nosy - from the old French guards and Russian guards who were on duty together that day.
"I haven't seen him for a long time. To be honest, he was wearing girls' clothes at that time, and you couldn't tell he was a boy, especially after he put on makeup."
Elena had been recovering from illness before, and she got better after the winter, so she returned to St. Petersburg, so she hasn't seen Solovyov recently.
But Louisa and Maria have seen him. Queen Louise is more curious about what Solovyov looked like when he was a child, so she asked her sisters to call him over often.
Even Elena's impression of Solovyov is often that of an honest but smart young man. After all, he was still quite immature at that time, not like the relaxed one in the future.
However, when Elena said this, Maria didn't quite understand, but dug a hole for her brother.
"But Nicholas should be good. If I give him my clothes, he might look good."
Nicholas was not with his mother at the moment, but was studying in the palace, and even took courses for different age groups separately from Mikhail.
If he came to play with his sister-in-law and elder sister after the teacher finished his class, no one would stop him.
Moreover, with a nephew coming, he and Mikhail had a playmate, and they could often be seen in the corridors of the palace.
Especially now, it was unfortunate that the little nephew from Mecklenburg wanted to go back to his mother, so he and Mikhail had to bring him here, after all, he was most familiar with the way to the Queen's bedroom, and his sister-in-law had brought them many times.
When Maria was talking here, she thought of asking Nicholas to come over, and soon the servants were ordered to bring them all over.
When Queen Louise saw Nicholas, she was quite surprised. Your Russian prince is too tall. Is he 11 years old?
Nicholas is still growing, but now he is a tall and thin man, which is almost catching up with Alexander's height.
And this face, combined with his long hair recently, looks a bit feminine.
"My sister-in-law and sister are here. Hello, Queen."
"Hello, Grand Duke Nicholas. If I hadn't seen his childish face, I would have thought he was a young officer of the Guards on duty in the palace."
"Nicholas is just tall. He looks like his uncle from Württemberg, but not like his uncle."
Elena didn't continue talking. After all, her uncle was a 200-kilogram Württemberg strongman, and her cousin William was also tall. Her elder brother and second brother were also improved in height. The third brother Nicholas is this tall now, and he may catch up with his ancestor Peter the Great in the future.
"But he is really beautiful, Charlotte. Do you think this brother Nicholas is beautiful?"
Queen Louise is one year older than Alexander, but her daughter is about the same age as Alexander's brother. It must be said that Queen Maria has a strong vitality and can still give birth to children in her thirties.
In this way, they can only talk about their own things. Queen Louise also remembered that Solovyov had always praised his students, so she said this to Charlotte.
Seeing such a tall and handsome boy, Charlotte was a little stunned. It was her mother who pushed her to react.
"His Royal Highness Nicholas is really very beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful boy before."
Moreover, Charlotte blushed a little. She was actually quite precocious. When she met a boy, she would have her own evaluation and some ideas.
Seeing this scene, Elena and Maria also had some... their brother is indeed very charming, but Queen Louise did not come in the name of a blind date for her daughter. They don't know what the emperor's calculations are, and how Misha, the cunning fox, is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
However, Nicholas liked Charlotte's rosy face and slim figure, but he still liked the older sister more.
No wonder he dared to intervene when the "old witch" proposed marriage to little Katya in the Saltykov family. You know, the tutor and his wife raised his two brothers and had a special status in the Russian court.
He was even more mature. He knew that his master had been single, and in order to "learn to be a teacher and behave as a role model for the world", he could hold back and try not to go to Madame Recamier. This was better than most young guardians of the princes. Then he had an idea, but he didn't expect that the boss was lucky and got married in the end.
Charlotte is cute, but she hasn't developed yet. She is just a cute little sister.
Nicholas grew up in the arms of his mother and nanny, and was even often taken away by his sister and cousins. He always relied on the great motherhood.
But he couldn't hide his attitude of liking Charlotte, and he was not very good at hiding his emotions. Compared with his brother and sister-in-law, he was far behind.
The former is a famous actor, and the latter is a homegirl who loves literature. It is true that she is very sociable and can hide her emotions.
It is true that they like each other, and Queen Louise also feels that there is a clue, but she cannot take the initiative to propose it.
When it comes to marriage, Russia often takes the initiative to propose it. Nicholas and Charlotte are too young, so they just meet and hold hands and play together. The future progress depends on the situation.
