Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

In the past, Queen Mother Maria did not like Soloviev very much. He was too close to Louisa, and on the night of Paul's assassination, after Louisa exchanged her children, Soloviev was among the first guards officers to declare their loyalty.

Later, he treated his daughters very well, and was considered a "good friend" of the five sisters. He also had a good relationship with Maria and helped Catherine, which changed her mind.

However, she must not know that Maria finally succeeded in paying for him in the Palace of Versailles, and the healthy baby girl Augusta she raised now was Soloviev's little cotton-padded jacket.

But none of these could compare to the obvious influence of Grand Duke Nicholas on him. After all, this kid also had someone who could discipline him academically.

Therefore, the Queen Mother was still very satisfied with Soloviev. As for the idea of ​​her daughter-in-law, who had a bad relationship with her, to arrange a baby marriage between her granddaughter and Soloviev's eldest son, she also strongly supported it.

Although according to the order, the eldest granddaughter should be engaged first and find German relatives for marriage.

However, it is rare to find German nobles of the right age and relatively high status.

At this time, there is naturally a way, that is, to digest it internally.

Before, Catherine had this idea, but because Prince Mikhail died in Finland, she changed the object of marriage.

But normally, it should start with the eldest granddaughter, but the first one to be engaged was Constantine's daughter.

But there are always benefits. The Queen Mother herself enjoys this environment now, and if the granddaughters marry to the Baltic coast in the future, it will be convenient for them to come back to visit relatives when they have something to do.

In this era, it is also very convenient to return to St. Petersburg by water.

It is also related to Russia's strategy at this time. Good relations with the countries along the Baltic Sea will also facilitate the Baltic Fleet and the huge Russian merchant fleet to enter the Atlantic Ocean from the Danish Strait.

For the British, when they were against Russia, they felt very troublesome because these merchant ships were running too fast. Once they entered the Atlantic Ocean, it was obviously not easy to catch them unless they were secretly sucking.

But if Russia formed an alliance with the British and faced the continental blockade, even if the French navy had some combat power, it would not be able to catch these merchant ships.

There was no other reason, because the clipper ships were running too fast, and it was difficult for the British to catch up.

If auxiliary power was added in the future, it would probably be the same.

The marriage with the nobles on the Baltic coast naturally became a task that Queen Mother Maria put on the agenda. Not every granddaughter had to marry, so naturally she gave the other party a chance to choose.

This was not because of anything else. There were too many princesses. Although Louisa's belly was still good, she could not give birth to a boy, and the Queen Mother herself was very troubled.

But judging from Alexander's attitude, it was nothing.

She also focused on training Nicholas and summoned Solovyov for this.

It seems that as long as this kid comes back, Nikolai is willing to study seriously. He is simply a parenting general who is essential for the family.

Is he just like this? If Doraemon is updated to the dog-shaped robot Wonderful, look at his green Russian military uniform.

It is somewhat appropriate, but Nikolai is not as useless as Nobita Nobita, and his job is still very easy.

But there is still some idol burden, Nikolai still pesters him to learn military.

For this matter, naturally, he has to come to the Queen Mother.

After Paul was assassinated, the Gatchina Palace became the Queen Mother's private palace, and now she still lives here with her three young children.

But when Solovyov came here, the Queen Mother herself was still on the way back to the palace, and only the little princess Anna was here.

This sixth girl, each of them jumped very fast, and her figure was still a little slender. When she met Solovyov, she was very welcoming.

"You must be here for Kolya's matter. My mother took the train to the theater in the city today and will not be back until the afternoon."

"I seem to be a little disappointed to come here at this time."

"It's okay, Count. I know you are a friend of my sisters."

Yes, it's the sixth child. She is the only girl of her generation who has not married yet because of her young age. But she is so tall.

She is wearing high heels and looks about the same height as Solovyov.

"But the princesses have to get married. Do you have a marriage plan?"

"Not yet. If it's my cousin from Oldenburg, he is about the same age as my sisters. I want a man of the same age."

Even a real princess wants her own prince charming.

However, she is holding a poem in her hand, the kind written on a scroll.

"Girls of this age are always dreaming of something. Who wrote this poem?"

"It was Sasha, Kolya's little follower, the curly-haired one. He is really lively and lovable, with a sweet mouth. In addition to writing poems, he also gave me roses."

"How are you going to repay him?"

Pushkin, this kid, seems to have taken the same path as me, but when Elena and Maria entangled me, I was somewhat passive in the fight.

This kid is good, taking the initiative to get close to Anna.

"I think he is a lovely boy, and it's not bad to have such a knight."

Well, Soloviev could see Pushkin's life in one breath, as knights and poets who often caused duels.

"But you will always get married, and maybe go to a kingdom in Europe."

"You talk like I'm an Asian princess."

"There are many opinions about the dividing line between Europe and Asia. If it is not divided according to the Ural Mountains, you are a princess of Europe and Asia."

As for this girl, now the only younger daughter born by the Queen Mother is still around, and she is given more attention, but not the kind of doting on Catherine.

However, the Queen Mother will also consider it. For example, if Franz II's wife died and Catherine was asked to fill the wife, she would definitely not agree, including Anna.

That Franz, who is in his forties, has not become Francois's father, but still wants to marry a wife. He is already unlucky enough.

If the Queen Mother thinks of her sisters, she will also think about it, so Anna will probably arrange to find a prince of a small country, but it depends on Alexander's attitude in the end.

"What will that prince or monarch be like?"

This girl looks more like an ordinary noble girl of her age, and she always has some yearning for life.

"You have to ask him to come to Petersburg and spend some time with you, Your Highness. If it's suitable, you can get married soon. Here, Her Highness Catherine is special, but I heard that she is living happily in Paris recently."

Anna has always been jealous of the fourth sister. She doesn't care about the older sisters. The impression of the eldest and second sisters is still the image of girls who often hold hands. When they came back from Europe, this changed a little.

"Sisters will come back one day, right? If I go to Europe, I hope to go to a warm place."

"But these warm places are usually full of stupid princes, especially Ferdinand. I heard that he looks like a pig. He must be undisciplined to look like this. You should find a self-disciplined person who can always love you."

"But even my father always chats with Lady Lopusina, and it seems that he has had a child with the maid. My mother has known this recently."

"What does the Queen Mother think?"

"My mother wants to see my two sisters. You took them away and raised them in the manor, right?"

Anna is still a little harmless. She probably thinks that although she is an illegitimate daughter, she still has a sister. If there are only two brothers below her, it may be too boring.

"I think it's better to make arrangements for these two young ladies when they grow up. They are still too young, and they look like wild girls from the countryside."

"Aren't you and Julia also from the countryside? It's nothing. I like chatting with maids. They are very honest, unlike those hypocritical guys in the palace. You are so cunning, but surprisingly you are an honest person."

"If you want to tell lies, you need a lot of truth to make up for it."

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

This girl doesn't know what's going on, but she actually wants to see her half-sister.

As for how the queen mother knew about this, it also aroused his curiosity.

He was a little suspicious whether the Minister of Police wanted to do something.

At that time, Alexander and Constantine signed the agreement secretly, and they didn't even admit the existence of these two sisters to the queen mother.

The only illegitimate child Paul knew about was the one that the queen found a maid to have sex with him in order to prove his fertility.

That was before the Queen Mother married to Russia. It didn't matter if she knew it. Besides, Semyon had been missing in the storm in the Caribbean Sea, so she didn't need to know anything.

She chatted with Anna like this because the girl was lonely now. Her two younger brothers were in school, and she couldn't go to the girls' school. She was just at home with the tutor and maids.

No wonder Pushkin tried to please her and made her like him so much.

This little curly-haired girl was born with good luck with women.

"Count, you should be good at poetry, right?"

"Occasionally I translate some poems, and sometimes I try to write my own. But I am as busy as Mr. Speransky."

"Can you try to write according to the four seasons?"

"If it's a spring poem, I already have one. It's just that you have to 'blow open the skirt'."

Anna was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

While chatting here, Queen Mother Maria also came back.

"Mother, Count Solovyov has arrived and is telling me poetry here."

"Ah, Count, all my daughters like you, especially Elena and Maria who are married. Anna was often in your arms when she was a child. At that time, you were still a guards officer, not the general you are now. And I also heard that my granddaughter said you are a "beautiful sister". You should cut your hair short, not like this, it looks like the dress I wore in the court when I was young. But you don't put on powder, and your skin looks so natural."

"Sometimes you don't need to dress up deliberately, especially for a soldier, we just need to keep our clothes clean and tidy."

"It should be so. You were brought up by my husband, poor Paul. He always hoped that he could train several outstanding generals. It seems that you are the most promising one among his guards. However, I asked you to come here this time to talk about Nicholas. He likes military affairs too much, and he also said that you, a general, never take the initiative to teach him about this aspect."

"It is too early for your highness to study these contents systematically, and when your highness takes up arms to defend the country, it must be a very dangerous time. If it is still like Austerlitz."

"I am very worried. My nephew William wrote to say that Württemberg has also expanded its army recently."

The Queen Mother said so, and Solovyov felt relieved.

"Are you worried about the war?"

"I'm worried about the children, too. It seems you're right. It's better to let Napoleon continue to be your uncle. His ambition is endless."

"Her Highness Catherine will be fine. Napoleon has always wanted a son, and I can see them when I'm in Paris."

"She's fine. She's my favorite daughter. Of course I know."

She obviously doesn't care about Anna's feelings, but to be honest, the Queen Mother herself often doesn't pay attention to the occasion when she speaks.

Anna also pouted outside her mother's perspective.

It's normal for a mother to be partial. Solovyov knows this. Now the Queen Mother should be worried about the other three daughters.

"So what do you mean?"

"Maria, she is so pitiful. Although she has another daughter, she has lost her son. I want to bring her back to live for a while. I let her marry in Saxony, which was a bit unfair to her and my son-in-law who was not very ambitious."

Alexandra and Elena have not been in good health recently. They are recuperating in their respective palaces. The Queen Mother is also very clear that Alexandra will marry into her own family. Württemberg is an ally of Napoleon. Even if her brother remarried and found an English woman, nothing happened. Overall, it was decent and there would be no trouble.

Elena's physical condition is not suitable for long-distance travel, which is also mentioned in the doctor's letter, but her condition is not bad. After the prescription for recuperation, it is generally stable. Even if there is really a war with France, it is convenient for her to board the ship from the northern port and return to St. Petersburg.

Maria is in Saxony-Weimar. Just like the last war, she probably needs to run back.

Worried about the war, she also wants to bring her daughter back.

But Solovyov was somewhat embarrassed.

He and Maria really had a private affair, and the ambiguous relationship finally blossomed in the Palace of Versailles.

But at this time, he could only agree to what the Queen Mother said.

But Anna, although she didn't talk much, was also very smart.

She also found something unusual through small movements.

That's right, it seems that each of the sisters had their favorite guards officers before getting married.

But she didn't think of the deeper content, that is, she was also very smart and knew that this aspect needed to be kept secret. (End of this chapter)
