Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Soloviev does get depressed sometimes because he is at the table with the children, but this time, it's because of his wife.

Since Katya took care of two children at home, she has become more skilled. If she is allowed to return to the palace, Louisa has also asked her.

She patted her chest to guarantee that the most suitable job for her is to take care of children, and those little girls who have just arrived at the palace, to teach them rules and etiquette.

It seems that from the situation that the next generation of Russian royal family are all grand duchesses, this explanation is not wrong, and Soloviev takes care of boys and Katya takes care of girls. If the couple has been in Petersburg all the time, it is indeed suitable to educate the children.

So, during the reception process, since the Queen Mother and Count von Fersen were both in the Marble Palace, the children who stayed here had to sit down in the children's room of the Winter Palace.

Speaking of which, Nicholas didn't want to participate, but he was forced to join in.

He was also interesting and directly agreed to Gustav to take him to watch the training of the Guards.

However, Solovyov was a lieutenant general and had some authority to mobilize troops, but he was also Nicholas' teacher and would not let him do this.

If he was not a prince, Solovyov would have twisted his ears and locked him in the house.

"Boss, ah, count, how could you do this?"

"Your Highness, you really took a chance to bring your friends to the army to show the Guards. Even if you are the leader of the Izmailov Regiment, I am still a lieutenant general. It is not good to mobilize troops at will. It must be approved!"

Gustav could also see that Nicholas seemed to respect Solovyov very much, and the count was not so scary after this. From Nicholas who let the cat out of the bag, he could also hear the relationship between the second heir to Russia and the count.

It can be said that they are friends from teachers and students, and brothers from friends.

Alexander and Constantine may not be so familiar with the mentality of the third brother, but Solovyov is too familiar with it, even more familiar than General Langsdorf, who is usually responsible for education.

Nicholas was still willing to tell him some of his inner thoughts, including that he liked Charlotte and wanted her to be his bride when she grew up.

But this was still a secret, and Soloviev was willing to keep it secret for him, and it also depended on fate and political factors.

Now, there was a king, two grand dukes, and a group of chattering little girls, all in the children's room.

It can be seen that there were quite a lot of children.

Katya was very used to this situation. She arranged the four older and more sensible children to Anna's side. The younger aunt and nieces were good, and the twins began to act cute in front of their aunt, which was also a routine operation.

As for the remaining children, Sonya from Constantine's family was older, so she could help her take care of the three younger ones.

As for her husband?

As expected, Soloviev followed the routine and began to check Gustav V's homework.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are very talented. But you should try this. Dr. Gauss was already familiar with this when he was your age."

Yes, it was about arithmetic progression, and there were calculation questions below. Math class is always more suitable for killing time.

Nicholas was not idle either. Since he was older, Solovyov naturally had to work harder.

"Girls can go and play, because they need to be familiar with etiquette, and there is a gap in age, unlike you two. Well, Mikhail, you can also do the same set of test questions. If you want to be a good artilleryman, you must be familiar with mathematics. After all, you are the honorary commander of the Guards Artillery."

Obviously, the educational strategies are different. Nicholas wants him to concentrate, while Mikhail stimulates and encourages his interests.

If he didn't have to go out to fight, Solovyov would probably switch to a civilian position in the next few years and then start his career as an inspector.

However, his military ability has obviously been demonstrated. It is probably difficult for him to leave the army in this life. If he leaves, he will be recalled in times of crisis like Osterman-Tolstoy.

Now, I am a temporary worker here, and the children are having a good time. Katya called the girls who usually practiced dancing to the practice room to change clothes, and then started to practice dancing.

"It's really peaceful," Solovyov is now relaxed, always feeling a little tired.

It's a strange feeling. He didn't feel tired in the past, but he wanted to lie down at this time.

Gustav and Mikhail are doing their homework seriously, but Nikolai is always looking out the window.

It's still a long time before the palace dinner. At his age, he is not like the children who can do their homework at ease, so he naturally wants to go out.

But think about Solovyov. He is lying here and it's not easy to go out.

In Nikolai's opinion, the boss is still very self-disciplined when he is with him. He must feel tired lying on the sofa like this.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I just feel a little tired. Maybe I need to rest for a while. You know, being a general is not that easy. It's very physically demanding. I never had a chance to rest from crossing the sea to Stockholm, and then to Karlskrona. Then I came back non-stop."

"It is indeed very hard, but as a soldier, it is always like this. Going from one place to another, maybe one day, I will be the governor of the place. I will no longer directly lead the troops, nor will I serve as an attendant general. This Life can be easier.”

When he said this to a child, it was also very abstract.

Finally, Nicholas calmed down, and Katya inside was correcting the children's movements one by one.

It’s just important to note that Katya is a girl with mostly Russian ancestry, and these girls are generally German. Speaking of which, German girls are not necessarily more flexible than Mao girls, but these children play well. , let them stretch their legs or do any other movements, and they can complete them very well.

Probably little girls like to spin in circles, or bend down and jump, while boys tend to run around and play military games, each with their own track.

It is always more convincing to think that Katya had received good dance training before returning to China and was also an excellent dancer in the court.

She was still talking and laughing with Anna. After all, although she was young, she was still of the same generation.

"Aniya, what kind of husband do you want in the future?"

"It seems a little early to talk about this now, right?"

"As you know, although there is a war outside, there are so many people coming to propose marriage. My husband can't help it. Since His Majesty has decided, it is useless how he opposes Katishi going to Paris."

"Sister Katya, why does your Misha object?"

"He knows his uncle too well, and as for the peace between France and Russia, I hope it can last forever. When Katish goes to Paris, I can take the children there to see it."

"Go to Paris, I want to go to Paris too."

Anna flapped her fan, looking forward to Paris.

"But according to my husband, Paris should undergo a complete transformation. By then, Queen Josephine should also arrange for us to live in a manor in the countryside, and we will only go to Paris when there are activities. That's fine, I It’s because I’m worried about my husband. You have to know, Aniya, Mishka is good at everything except being very soft-hearted in front of women.”

Although she said this to an unmarried girl, Anna was willing to listen. Apart from being petty about the fourth sister, she was still more willing to listen.

She is cautious about her sister because her mother prefers Ekaterina, but she is still a little worried that her sister will be sent to the "devil" as a "sacrifice".

But what Katya told her were all about her husband's strange practices and nothing related to Napoleon.

"It's just that Bonaparte, the emperor of France"

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't know how to eat people, but Mishka always said that his uncle is very lustful, especially girls with slender figures. But you are too young, so you probably are not the kind he likes. "

"But my sister is exactly the kind he likes. Fortunately, Maria married early, otherwise"

Anna thought about the third sister's figure, maybe it would be easier for Napoleon to take a fancy to her, but this was unlikely.

Katya also continued: "But there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you stay away from the French Emperor, you will be fine. And Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has not yet decided on your matter, Aniya. It seems that it is because of Sasha and Lena Everything is decided too early.”

"That's fine. I hope to have a husband who is not so rude and has some independent opinions, but he is not like Misha. The Earl is really..."

"But I have a very good relationship with Mrs. Recamier, and she can help me keep an eye on Mishka so that he doesn't run around. Listen, what did I say?"

Of course, girls are always gossipy and they like to exchange information.

It's just that Anna, the sixth child, told what she discovered by accident.

"The royal sister-in-law seems to take good care of your husband Misha"

Of course, Katya is more caring in this regard. Although she will be jealous, there are some people she will not doubt.

Moreover, the relationship between Solovyov and Louisa is now very dull and cannot be seen at all.

Therefore, she would not think in this direction.

Even if he was discovered by Alexander, his client would not say anything. After all, there was a precedent of Czartoryski and several Guards officers, and there was also Count Zubov. The last one participated in the rebellion, and he was not given the same punishment as Palen. As a pendant.

Katya herself would not even think about this. She wanted to marry a good man, and Mishka, in addition to being slightly older and having some past romantic debts, was also a very suitable candidate.

If you really want to compare, Solovyov's matter is nothing compared to other people except always looking for someone with a very important position.

For example, some Russian poets have at least three-digit number of girls they have dated.

Even in real comparison, Solovyov is asking for trouble and always gets into strange crises.

Anna had feelings when she was a child, but children shouldn't talk nonsense. Now that they say this, it has passed.

Katya still has a big heart, and now she will continue to let the girls do what they planned.

However, it will be based on their own abilities and will not be forced.

After Katya gave birth to a child, there were certain movements that she did not dare to do. No matter how soft her body was, she had to consider whether she could bear it.

Therefore, what she taught the girls was to reduce the difficulty.

If it was practiced in Dresden, it would definitely not be like this.

In this way, an afternoon will pass quickly, and it looks very peaceful.

The meeting between Queen Mother Frederica and Alexander and his wife was also very smooth.

Although Sweden lost a lot of territory, Russia also promised to protect it and give benefits to the Swedish royal family and nobles-in the trade in America and Siberia, it can provide convenience for the Swedes.

As for this convenience, although it looks more like a show, it is finally something to talk about.

However, before this, Frederica also had a rare time alone with her sister and knew Alexander's plan.

She is now a little worried about her son's affairs. After all, the environment in Stockholm is not stable, and the child's throne is related to the Russian bayonet.

It is inevitable that something will happen, that is, the forces outside the royal party will be weakened, and this cannot avoid the reactionary forces in the country.

However, there is no way. Many of the Swedish nobles who went to Finland are still against the royal party, which has strengthened the royal power of Sweden.

The strength of this country has been greatly weakened, and there is no place to replenish it.

Because the fate of Sweden is in the hands of Russia, and given the current situation of Denmark, Alexander does not intend to let Sweden use Norway to replenish it.

In fact, France is in its heyday again, and it seems that it will not fail in the end after being defeated once.

The war with Austria is still going on. As long as Russia and France are in the same camp, Sweden will not get any benefits.

For them, the only benefit may be that there will be no more Russian troops to do anything to Sweden.

Although the Russians are rough and always swallow up, they always look better than the British.

During the negotiations, Count von Fersen, who used to be pro-Bourbon, also raised this point to Count Stroganov. The British have launched wars without declaration many times, taking advantage of their maritime advantages, and Sweden has also been a victim of this.

The two of them used to be in Paris and were also good friends of Queen Marie Antoinette, so they are naturally familiar with them.

Compared with the previous negotiations with the Duke of Nanmanland, it is easier to work with acquaintances. Count von Fersen even passed a supplementary protocol to regain the sovereignty of Gotland Island, but there will be a Russian naval base there.

It can be regarded as a trivial diplomatic victory, and it is also easy to report to the parliament in Stockholm. (End of this chapter)
