Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 116 016 Now I find that it caused misunderstanding, but I will find out later.

Seeing Louisa crying, you can feel that she is really pitiful. Her eldest daughter was recently handed over to a nanny and a tutor. Although the child lives not far from her, she is always reluctant to let go of the child because of the careful care she took as a mother for the first time.

Maria was still young, and she could still rock her daughter's cradle, tell her stories, and hold her hand to help her practice walking. Although these were the rules in the palace, she did not want the girl to be taken away again and be taken care of by a governess.

It's just that her tear glands are a little too developed. You can tell that she is a young lady with very rich inner emotions and a soft heart.

Moreover, she was wearing the cool summer clothes of ancient Greece. In fact, the two layers of clothes she wore were made of linen and silk, which could be said to be the standard outfit for aristocratic girls in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Although such white shoulders appear a little bony due to the slim and slender figure, they also show a healthy color under the sunlight at dusk.

"Your Highness, please stop crying like this."

Since she was dressed like this and she didn't have a handkerchief with her, she couldn't use Goethe's poetry collection to wipe her tears. This was a hardcover book that was rarely seen on the market.

Solovyov himself has always had some "toolbox" attributes. Various tools, including handkerchiefs, can be taken out from his jacket pocket.

"Thank you, Major."

After wiping her tears, she sat on the ground and prepared to get up, but she twisted her ankle when she slipped and her slippers fell to the bottom of the grass slope.

"Autsch!"
"It's okay, Your Highness. It's just a minor joint dislocation. Although I'm not a doctor, I do have some experience with this kind of trauma. It may be a little painful, please bear with it!"

He caught Louisa's sprained ankle and, after examining it, confirmed that the injury was relatively minor, which was better than rolling down the grass slope and getting seriously injured.

But speaking of this sprained foot, even if it can be repositioned now, I still need to rest for a few days.

He applied a little force and heard a "click". Louisa screamed in pain and was about to put the handkerchief in her mouth to avoid the subsequent reduction operation which might be even more painful.

"Oh? Is this all right?"

"It's better to fix it. I'm not a Sanitter, so I don't carry a medical kit with me. You are very fragile, so I think I should call a doctor to fix you with plaster and a board. Just rest for a few days and apply some frankincense and myrrh on the wound, and it will heal. You have a slender ankle and a small foot. If you slip, you will easily get hurt. I suggest that even if you want to be alone, you need someone by your side."

"No, Mikhail. If you call a doctor, it might cause misunderstanding. Go and pick up my shoes. I'll go down by myself and call a doctor when I get back to the palace."

"In that case, Your Highness, if you are like this, you may need to rest for a while."

Solovyov picked up the slipper that Louisa had dropped, and was suddenly hugged by the weak Crown Princess.

"Mikhail, you are really reassuring. No wonder His Majesty transferred you to the Guards. I didn't bring anything with me. This is a reward for you."

She leaned over to Solovyov's cheek and kissed him gently with her lips.

"Your Highness."

"I only put on lipstick. We have a 'ladies' tea party' today, so we all have to dress in Greek style."

"And you look more like Eurydice in this. Don't get me wrong, there are many people with this name, the wives of harpists."

"But here, only Maria plays the harp. If we talk about Orpheus, if everyone is like him, able to go to the Styx and bring back his wife, then of course, there are no poisonous snakes here."

"But Your Highness, you fell down. I think you should give it a try instead of aggravating your injury because you are worried about being misunderstood."

However, this noble young woman still did not want Solovyov to face danger. After all, such rumors would cause trouble and even put his life in danger.

In the time of the empresses, several of them disregarded their status and had affairs with those young officers. Empress Anna and Elizabeth Petrovna did not continue to have children, and found children related to them by blood to inherit the throne. They had no problem doing whatever they wanted. The empress herself already had Tsar Paul and his younger brother Alexei, and Paul was very good at having children with his wife, so she had no worries.

Therefore, after 1780, the Queen let herself go even more than before. Count Zubov's attempt to seduce Louisa failed and he became a laughing stock in the court.

Although he had Paul's trust, his position was not high, which was very dangerous.

There is still a rumor that "the commander of the 1st Guards Battalion is not interested in either men or women", and it is not appropriate to cause misunderstanding now.

Louisa limped down the gentle slope to find her two maids, and said this before leaving.

"Please don't tell anyone. I will only tell the doctor that I sprained my foot and that I will just stay in the palace for a few more days. It will be bad for both you and me if there is any misunderstanding."

What a good girl she is, always thinking of others, even of Alexander's mistress.

Looking at her slender figure as she walked away, and the light fragrance they had just smelled, Solovyov realized that although there was no problem this time, he was in big trouble.

It seems like a real heart-throb feeling!

He didn't know what Louisa was thinking, but he knew clearly what he was thinking. He had seen many beauties in the palace. Before, he was just coaxing children in the palace. It was ridiculous that he was regarded as a "good sister" by the young girls. In the Guards, he was regarded as a "good brother" by the officers of the same age. He often heard them bragging about how powerful they were in front of girls, but he never saw anyone really succeed.

Except for a few low-ranking officers of the Guards who have lovers outside, most of the people are still bachelors, and they don't even have as much contact with women as he does, who has never looked for a woman.

There were even a few lieutenants and ensigns in the regiment who said that the plump and lovely countess cried in your arms, but nothing happened. If it were them, they would have emptied their pockets to buy precious jewels and propose to you.

But he didn't, which was a little joke.

He thought that his mistake was that he worked too hard, and as a result he ran into the Crown Princess who was reading under a tree. After a chain of events, he couldn't stop and felt moved.

After Louisa returned, she claimed that she had sprained her foot and asked a doctor to take a look. However, she also groaned in pain for a long time. After returning to the bedroom, she had to change her clothes. When she took off all her clothes, she looked at her delicate body in the mirror. She thought to herself that if there was another girl in the mirror, she would like her.

She even stupidly reached out to touch the mirror, and then continued crying when she remembered.

If only Alexander could have been as he had been to her!
Solovyov also appeared in her mind. This guy was indeed not a frivolous person. He was even a little shy. Like her, he was willing to consider others. And this face was really something she wanted to pinch. He was a cute little brother. Yes, Louisa was two years older than Solovyov. She was only 2 years old now.

She had no desire to find a lover now, she just wanted to watch Maria grow up, and the daughter who was taken to be raised by a tutor, especially the little girl she gave birth to, who was like a scaled-down version of herself, with sky blue eyes. Although she was still a doll, she was very cute. She was more confident than Niobe and could boast that her child was the most beautiful.

Seeing Maria already asleep, she slowly walked over and picked up the child, completely ignoring the fact that she was not wearing any clothes.

"My lovely little Martha, grow up slowly in your mother's arms and become a beauty in the future."

Alexander spent the whole day in the salon and at the banquet and paid no attention to what was happening in his palace. He did not return to Peterhof until the next morning.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Louisa sleeping with the child in her arms, with her sprained ankle fixed.

In addition, when Louisa was sleeping in bed, she was only wearing a thin silk pajamas, and her sleeping face was really cute.

It was just because she fell asleep with her daughter in her arms. Even if Alexander wanted to be intimate with his wife today, he couldn't be so impatient. He was not Caligula or Nero.

But it is still necessary to touch her. Compared with Naryshkina's plump figure and seductive eyes, Louisa at home is more refreshing.

But Alexander also sighed. This silly wife could never learn to be as coquettish as his previous mistresses. She was just virtuous, good at considering others, able to arrange the affairs of the palace, and had a high level of cultural accomplishment. These were no source of passion for him.

But while he was caressing his wife's body, Louisa also woke up.

"Your Highness, you are back."

"You are so beautiful, Lisa, just like a muse, but a little thinner. Let me see how your feet are."

"It's just a sprain, Your Highness. You need to rest for a few days. Although it won't affect your walking, it will hurt when you move."

Alexander is a sensitive person with extremely rich emotions. He can realize that although his wife respects him very much, she focuses all her attention on the children. She has been a little "light" towards him in the past year, just like she always seeks lightness when putting on makeup, even liking to use very light colors for nail polish and lipstick.

Apart from the fact that he looked so pitiful no matter how he looked at him, which made Alexander feel completely without any passion, he really did learn the spirit of the French. If Peter the Great knew about this and saw how Frenchified he was, he would definitely say that he was a good descendant.

Because of this, he gave up the idea of ​​being intimate with Louisa today and instead focused his attention on the child.

However, Maria was fine in her mother's arms, but once she was in her father's arms, she woke up and started to make a fuss.

"Your Highness, the medal you are wearing is hitting Maria's leg. Let me hold the child."

However, she couldn't calm Maria down for a while, so she could only put her into her pajamas, hoping to calm her daughter down with her warm embrace as a mother.

Then Maria really obeyed, grabbing her mother's chest with her little hands, groping for something.

"That's good. It seems that it is not easy for a child to leave her mother. You should take good care of Maria. I thank you."

Louisa knew clearly that her husband's heart had been stolen by a Polish woman. She had heard a joke about a Polish pickpocket from Elena. Before, a Polish man had wanted to come to her bedroom, also wanting to steal her heart.

Although Alexander's tone could not be called cold, his respectful tone was like that of an old couple who had been married for forty years.

As Alexander continued to speak, she thought of how pitiful she was. Tsar Paul was the only father-in-law in the family who was relatively caring towards her. Although her sisters were close to her, they all had to get married.

Countess Strodianova and Julie could not be at the palace often, and the sisters she met in social circles were unlikely to be with her often.

Thinking of this, after Alexander left, she began to cry again, but even if her tears turned into springs, they could not ease her emotions.

It was not until Maria, who was groped repeatedly, stopped having wild thoughts and focused all her attention on the child.

"Little Martha will grow up to be like her mother."

She managed to escape without causing any trouble, except for the accident of spraining her ankle in the park, nor did she cause any disturbance in the palace.

At the same time, she did not say anything, not wanting to cause trouble to anyone, and only called Countess Strodianova.

"You sprained your ankle, Louisa. It's not convenient for you to move around like this. Let me take a look."

"It's okay, Sonya. The doctor has already treated it. You don't need to look at it anymore."

"The more delicate you look, the cuter you are. If I were a man, I would like you too." Then she hugged Louisa and rested her chin on the Crown Princess' shoulder.

Although the Countess had no idea what was going on, her talking close to her ear made Louisa blush.

"Why do you say that?"

"I want to tell you that His Highness once thought about contacting me, but I found a way to refuse."

It is indeed not easy for others to interfere with this loving couple. Alexander encountered a setback at first, but later on, the couple was trusted by both Alexander and Louisa.

"I know, you are my good sister, and I have something I want to entrust you with."

"what do you want to do?"

"Go and get a ruby ​​brooch that the Summer Palace jewelry workshop has made for me and give it to Major Solovyov's sister, Yulia. I like that naughty girl very much. When she reaches the age in the future, she can come to the palace and serve as a maid to Tonya or little Masha."

This was a very covert move, and even the Countess couldn't figure out why she was beating around the bush in such an abstract way.
