Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 189 001 You can't rest even if you are recovering from your injury
The news quickly reached St. Petersburg, arriving there in January 1802.

When Louisa saw the letter, tears welled up in her eyes because she was worried about her father's injury. Her lover Mishka was the same. Due to the huge emotional fluctuations, she was unable to breastfeed her child for several days. She couldn't let the child suffer, so she called the wet nurse.

"What can I do, Alexander? Dad had an accident in Sweden and broke his leg."

"Lisa, we can't go to Stockholm right now, especially since you're not in good health. Although you've recovered a little, the doctor said you can't travel far. We'll still stay here in the winter. If you're really worried, you and Amalia can go to Finland in the spring to reunite with your family. Luisa, you smell really good now. Are you using any new perfume?"

"Your Majesty, you know I love taking a bath. I clean myself every day and make myself look clean. Even if I only use hot water, I still want to wash myself clean."

"Lisa, if you weren't so focused on nursing the baby, we might be able to do it now."

"Your Majesty, you have to wait until I recover a little bit before you take our daughters over. I don't want to be too far away from the children. We have four daughters, two are still too young, and two are only old enough to start hiring a tutor. I still hope to be with the children more."

"I promise you, we will take our children and go to the warm indoor bath together, but those clothes are too much of a barrier between us."

In fact, Louisa knew that Alexander also said the same thing when he was looking for women outside. Who knows whether he was acting or he was sincere.

Alexander looked at his wife and found her to be indeed adorable, the more he looked at her the cuter she became. However, she only gave him tenderness and obedience, without the passion and stimulation he needed.

Solovyov, on the other hand, liked Louisa's youthfulness and gentleness. He always kept a distance and knew a lot of knowledge. And when he touched her conscience, he had to be sincere to her, so that she would repay him double.

When Louisa put her daughters in the bathtub, she hoped to have a closer relationship with them. The two older children were always very close to their mother. They loved to "climb new heights" and put their little heads on their mother's shoulders.

Being with her children might even help her feel happier, and Alexander figured that out.

At the same time in Stockholm, Karl Ludwig was thankful that he had not been moved to the church on Riddarholmen. After the doctor's diagnosis, he broke his leg and needed long-term convalescence, and he would have to recover in due time.

As for Solovyov, he is very young, and after resting for a period of time, what he needs to worry about may be whether his arm can return to its original state.

He didn't know that his appearance in the car was to pull Louisa's father back from the boatman of the Styx, of course, it also came at a price.

While recuperating, he did think that he should do something, such as a swimsuit.

When I think about the fact that the swimsuits girls wear are not actually suitable for swimming and may cause them to sink to the bottom due to water seeping in, and the fact that men's swimsuits have rapidly evolved into shorts in recent years, in a society that is not conservative at heart, there are always some moralists on the streets who say that only children under the age of 10 are not required to follow the rules when swimming.

But they probably wouldn't accept swimsuits that were too revealing. At one point, even the ankles couldn't be exposed, and they had to wear dance shoes when swimming, which made it impossible to use any strength. As for what was hidden beneath the so-called morality, he had already smelled something on the mortar shells before he even arrived in Paris and London.

Fortunately, he was ambidextrous, so even after injuring his left arm he was still able to continue writing and drawing with his right hand.

"Mary, what do you think? If you wear clothes like this, you won't be so restricted when swimming."

Solovyov himself was a little careless, he was teasing Mary unconsciously, just asking questions, but it made Louisa's sister blush again.

So cute, just like her sister.

"But you can't wear this outside, you can only wear it at home."

"You can use it to attract your fiancé. After you get married, he will definitely love you more."

"Yes, he wrote to me again. Even though he looks so scary, he is really nice. Even if he hasn't seen me for half a year, he always writes to me."

"Mary, can I see what your fiancé looks like?"

"Of course, that's it."

He has a full beard and looks very powerful.

"This gentleman looks like a Viking, not quite like the old marshal, although they are family."

"Like a Viking?"

"Yes, a warrior with a shield in one hand and an axe in the other. They will fight without regard for their own safety and use other people's heads as bowls. It sounds very vicious."

"As for you, I see you often use a saber."

"In fact, I prefer to use a revolver. I invented it, which is an improvement on the revolver weapon of German craftsmen. It is smaller and can even be hidden in a pocket or even under a girl's skirt. It is also designed with a safety, which is very safe. You cannot pull the trigger without opening this little thing."

"Are you a watchmaker?"

"No, I'm not, but there are skilled craftsmen who can make it. I hired a Danish craftsman to help me complete the design. If you need clothes, you need to hire a tailor, use silk produced in Italy, and then cut it into ready-made clothes. I have been to Milan. I went there during the war."

"Then you can improve the pattern to cover more parts of the body, otherwise it will be too embarrassing."

Mary was still more reserved, and added part of the pattern with pencil, covering the knees, but the upper body remained unchanged.

"You may be right. If you wear dance shoes, your feet will be squeezed."

And she also thought that her husband might like it if she wore it at home.

The girls in this family all study the same courses, including French, German, music, art, literature, geography, history, and even basic philosophy, but the environment they are in causes their ideas to change.

Although Frederica's husband was stupid, the king still loved his wife and it was a daily routine for him to revolve around her; Mary was also looking forward to her fiancé, a reckless but sincere man who would care about her very much; but Louisa was not so lucky, she was obviously always so beautiful, but Alexander was very philanthropic, and he was always philanthropic in all kinds of situations, which was not good.

Swimsuit design is only a small part. Solovyov discovered that Sweden actually imported a large amount of Chinese porcelain. Even though Europeans obtained the ceramic processing technology through technical analysis and obtained silk through theft earlier, there was still some gap in quality.

However, under the premise of technological updates, there is still room for breakthroughs. It is impossible for China to always be the best. Whoever has better technology will be stronger. There is a process of accumulation.

“Can I find something from China here?”

"You should just rest and recover. Grandfather is not like you. He reads books, draws pictures and studies while lying in bed." "I heard that His Highness is also a scholar."

"Yes, but grandpa won't work all the time when he's lying in bed."

"That's because the old man is already very old, please allow me to say this, and I am only 20 years old. There are more things I can think of and do."

"Then I can do something for you, Michael."

"I will protect your father, the King of Sweden and the father-in-law of our emperor. His Majesty Gustav will accept your request. After all, you are his sister-in-law. Sometimes you can play a role."

"what do you want?"

"I brought some ancient Chinese books with me to the embassy, ​​and planned to do some translation work, but I don't know if Sweden has them. Maybe it has something to do with France."

"Well, I can help you with this. You just need to stay here and recuperate peacefully."

It was obvious that their relationship was that of friends who discussed issues together. Moreover, Solovyov was one year older than Mary, and he finally found the feeling of being a brother to girls other than Yulia and Polina. Those two girls were too young and there was a generation gap in communication. Yulia had made great progress and even wrote him a letter, but there were too many spelling mistakes in it.

"If Yulia had been sent to a girls' school earlier, this might not have happened."

The girls' school at Smolny used to have lower grades and admitted students for a long time.

Mary went to ask her brother-in-law and got his consent. Gustav did have some books, and they all had backup copies. The China craze in Western European countries was not only in Central and Western Europe, but also in Sweden in Northern Europe.

"This is a very good chronicle, and I happen to understand all the contents. Thank you, Mary."

"Just stay here and be your translator, Michael. I'm going to take care of my father. When we were in Karlsruhe, we didn't live like we did in Stockholm and St. Petersburg."

"But I heard that the Karlsruhe Palace is also quite large, and has a large garden."

"You heard it from your sister, right?"

"Come to think of it, it was when the two princesses of our country were still unmarried. When I was a painting model for Princess Elena, she once mentioned the Karlsruhe Palace."

"But there is only one Karlsruhe Palace, and compared to many palaces, it is quite small."

The palace in Baden is indeed much smaller than other palaces, and sometimes looks like an extended version of a large villa.

Solovyov is not yet able to be discharged from the hospital, but his arm is only injured and he can still carry out daily activities, just with some discomfort.

He can calm himself down and refer to some books from ancient Greece and Rome to do his translation work. This is for the sake of reading habits in all aspects, especially when listing them.

At times like this, it would be more appropriate to take out books like "Zuo Zhuan".

Solovyov was very confident in his translation ability. His level of classical Chinese had not been wasted on bread and sausages. He was able to translate many books, especially those containing classic content.

Looking at Europe, although it cannot be unified, there are still some things that can be learned from it.

He tried his arms and found that there was no problem writing on the table, but with his arms hanging, it was very slow to write anything. But this was also good, as he needed to proofread the manuscript and did not need to publish it in a hurry. This was also good, as he could compile it all and publish it when he returned to St. Petersburg.

In fact, Europeans really need to understand China. They have a lot of things in mind, and translation is the most efficient thing they can do even though their arm is injured.

Of course, he also has to write a letter in January to congratulate the Queen on her birthday, but he may not be able to make it in time, after all, he has to rely on the mailing time on the way. Moreover, such a big thing has happened, and he needs to write a letter to report to Prince Baden about the situation of the Queen's father.

While doing official business, you can also handle personal matters, which kills two birds with one stone.

Louisa in St. Petersburg also received the letter. She knew about her old father's condition and she also wanted to thank Solovyov for his protection work this time.

This was not the first time. Louisa knew that she owed the other party a lot, and the fact that they had a child had to be kept secret.

But the strange thing is that Alexander's favorite is the youngest daughter. Although she has green eyes, she looks more like Louisa. Moreover, the child is only a few months old, but she has learned to complain when her sister pinches her.

"What a smart child. I now know that such a young child already knows this."

"Yes, these two children are very smart. If you do the same thing to Polina, she will tell me too."

"Well, the kids are all good, but it's a pity that they're all girls."

"Your Majesty, if God wishes, we will have a son."

But Alexander also found it strange. Naryshkina showed no signs of pregnancy yet. She was obviously in better health. The other mistresses who were pregnant were all girls.

He felt strange, but there was nothing he could do. The land in Russia was very fertile, but too many girls were born, including his father Paul's last illegitimate child.

Maybe we should wait and see, maybe things will change in a few years, he thought.

Alexander also knew Solovyov's reply. The wording was very plain, and not at all like those people he saw pursuing the queen in his daily life. They all compared Louisa to a sweetheart, but none of them succeeded.

Solovyov made him feel relieved, but it was hard for Alexander to imagine that someone who wrote such a plain letter had already succeeded.

What's even more strange is that Alexander liked his youngest daughter the most. If everyone involved knew this, it would probably be a very humorous joke.

Of course, Alexander was also very confused. Even if he really knew that Louisa had an affair with someone else, he would not do anything.

A strange man, but he is quite interesting indeed.
