Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 256 Willful Paulina and Napoleon's Anger

A few days later, Prince Borghese learned that Paulina had moved to the Petit Trianon and came with the rest of his entourage.

In fact, Napoleon could accept living together here without getting married. After all, he couldn't stop his sister from being with the man she liked, and her fiancé.

People like Lafont are better off staying away from Paulina.

In the past, when Leclerc was still alive, those who dared to sleep with Polina were already on the journey of being laid off and finding a new job.

Some of them couldn't even become French citizens and were sent directly to the United States.

In fact, Solovyov knew that he was not worthy of the First Consul's special attention at the moment. Besides, since Prince Borghese came to the Petit Trianon, he could go and take care of Silvia, which would save trouble. Alternatively, the two of them could return to their apartment in Paris and live together.

And Prince Camillo Borghese, now back with Paulina, began to work hard.

However, he could not guess what Paulina was thinking. Now it was the hottest summer, and the clothes Paulina wore were so cool and thin that the color of her skin and the external structure of her body were clearly visible through the thin skirt. Camilo liked her even more.

But he didn't know what Polina had done in the past period of time, and Sylvia wouldn't tell him.

"Camilo, you are so passionate, we should have a child soon."

This frivolous Roman prince actually enjoyed compliments from others, especially when he was being intimate with his fiancée.

"Will the First Consul be displeased?"

"It doesn't matter. We can get married with a baby! Your housekeeper refused the proposal for the sake of her lover's future. I want to have a child, and my brother won't say anything."

"You are so bold, Polina. The more you do this, the more I like you. Let me touch your belly."

Polina still has a good figure and doesn't have any extra fat. Her extra fat is in the right places, allowing her to exude her charm.

"You won't be able to tell now. It'll take some time."

Polina felt that although the other party had many lovers, he was more or less ignorant in this area. He was really a fool prince. He looked handsome, but he had less knowledge than her.

Although Paulina didn't like studying, she still tried hard. As her second brother's status continued to rise, her requirements for her family actually changed. Except for her mother, Letizia has always maintained a relatively simple life. Sometimes she would come to take care of her children like an ordinary mother.

In this environment, she still needs to learn a little, especially to make fewer spelling mistakes.

This is her family's tradition. After all, even Napoleon himself always wrote very abstract things, and there were many writing errors. It takes some skills to understand his mysterious book and then transform his genius ideas into practical results or exert their power on the battlefield.

No wonder Napoleon now has more than one wife. Berthier is one of them, a "wife in the army" who helps him with the army's "housework" and organizes the large army, but her command is much worse.

But a guy like Prince Borghese is somewhat outrageous, but he has a kind of foolish handsomeness and is not lacking in courage.

"Ah, yes, we have to wait until you get fatter and your belly gets bigger, so that we can start looking forward to our baby."

"If I have a child, I will love him as much as I love Mead, and we will probably have many more children in the future."

It sounds like Polina is changing her character, ready to give up her dissolute life and become a qualified hostess.

"That's good."

However, Prince Borghese was still somewhat curious as to why Paulina had such an attitude.

"But, Polina, why do you think so now? You should be as playful as I am and miss the beautiful Paris. Besides, you and I both know each other's past."

In this regard, his attitude is quite honest.

"It was Sylvia's lover who told me. That Russian diplomat knows some Chinese medicine. He diagnosed my physical problem and asked me to recuperate for a long time. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to deal with a reckless knight like you. He told me that after a period of time..."

If Solovyov knew this, he might say, I never taught you that having a child once in a while can avoid those minor problems that happened before.

"Polina, we have to hurry up."

When the hottest time of summer came, Paulina's belly had indeed grown a little, and she had to find a priest to marry Prince Borghese in the presence of one of God's humble representatives.

Prince Borghese was quite bold. As things stood, he and Paulina were bound to get married, and they had not yet gone through the registration procedures. This stage had to be divided into two steps.

They were getting married, and even left Petit Trianon, and went to a property owned by Joseph, Mortefontaine, north of Paris, where they got married in secret. The witness was the Pope's envoy, Archbishop Giovanni Battista Caprara Montecuccoli of Milan. This should be considered as a wedding ceremony before God, and even the Vatican's envoy knew that Napoleon and Josephine had only registered their marriage and did not have "God's blessing."

This fact was even kept secret from many people. Some people around her knew that she was planning to get married early, but when the decision was actually made, even her eldest brother Joseph found out later.

This situation made Napoleon a little angry.

"Polina, how could she do this?"

"Napoleon, you have to calm down too. At least Paulina hasn't completed the civil wedding yet and hasn't registered it."

"But I also said that after the mourning period for Leclerc was over, it didn't matter what she did. Besides, both parties were very satisfied with this marriage and there was no need to rush. But she was so impatient. I spoiled her too much in the past and made her so vain."

"Napoleon, when Paulina and Camillo come to you, you still have to..."

"Damn it, even if she comes here, we don't have any princess in the family now. I will say to her; 'Please understand, madam, we don't have any princess in the family now!' Something like that." Then Napoleon was more concerned about the documents on his desk. He only slept four hours a day, and even when he was intimate with his wife or lover, he strictly set time limits for himself.

As long as his eyes were not closed and he fell asleep, he was always thinking about various problems. Even the bomb on Christmas Eve brought him a scene of fighting with the Austrians in his dreams.

"Well, I'll explain it to my poor sister."

After all, Joseph was the patriarch of the family and had certain administrative abilities, but he was certainly not as courageous as his younger brother, and the troubles he caused mainly occurred when he ran away.

When he arrived at Paulina's official residence at Charlotte Palace, he happened to see her coming out of the bath and enjoying the cool air in the courtyard.

"My dear brother, Napoleon, my dearest brother, he must be very angry?"

When Joseph saw his sister like this, he was not angry. The ones who were most prone to temper tantrums and arguments in the family were mainly Napoleon and Lucien. Sometimes they would quarrel whenever they met.

"My dear sister, he is indeed very angry, and he does not recognize your current status as a princess. You have to wait until the mourning period is over and the marriage registration is completed. Only then will he agree."

Joseph also noticed that the shape of the second sister's belly showed that she was pregnant given her figure.

"Thank you, brother. I knew you were reliable."

"But you also have to bear Napoleon's wrath. His temper is too bad. While he is dealing with political and military issues, I will be in charge of your household affairs. But now that you are pregnant, he will be very happy, and your mother will be happy too."

"Brother, don't worry, at least I will be well behaved for a while."

It’s just that it’s hard to tell whose baby she’s carrying. When the baby is born, it’s more likely to have dark hair.

Of course, if she could behave herself for a while and bring less trouble to the family, parents would indeed prefer her.

Sylvia's progress was even faster. She stayed by Polina's side and they exchanged experiences with each other.

As for their two children, they revolve around their mother all day long, which does make family life sweeter.

But Solovyov was leaving, he was going back to Montmartre Street, and now Pierre was about to set off for his country, crossing the whole of Europe back to Russia.

"Dear Pierre, I wish you a safe journey home."

"What can I say, Mikhail, my friend, thank you for helping me a lot during this period. At least I think that helping you deal with those playwrights has also enriched my experience."

"But in this world, honest people like you will suffer. Pierre, when you return to the country, if you go directly back to Moscow, you should take the old Smolensk road, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Do you need me to help you with something?"

"There's nothing you can do. You just need to live a good life. But I think you should stay away from some people. You are not suitable to be with those daring guys. You are a strong man. You are always so loyal and reliable. I really envy you. Unlike me, I served in the army at the age of 13. Now I am 22 years old. I am afraid that I will have to spend most of my life in the army instead of having freedom like you."

"But I only have freedom, Mikhail, I am a bastard and I have no property."

"But you have a heart of gold, my friend. I don't know if God will make up for your innocence and kindness, but your character is indeed easy to be taken advantage of and you are too easy to trust others. If you decide to get married, you must also see the girl's nature before deciding to get married, so as not to regret it."

"how about you?"

"I have someone I love, but I can't get married, which is a bit embarrassing. In fact, my child is already 3 years old, a girl, very cute, just like a little angel in a painting. It may take some time to find a wife who can accompany me for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Pierre began to comfort him in his own Pierre way: "I understand how you feel. Actually, how can I put it? I don't have your experience, so I can't help you in any way."

"You don't need to help me with anything, Pierre. But I do need you to help me with something. My father and stepmother have gone to Moscow with my younger brothers and sisters. They may have to return to the countryside in Ryazan, but they should spend the winter in Moscow. Please give this letter to my father, Baron Sergei Solovyov. He still needs to take care of the family affairs. After all, my family was a butler before they were conferred the title."

"Well, that's all I can do for you. Good-bye, Mikhail. I may come to your house when you return to Petersburg."

"I welcome you too, Pierre. It's rare to meet nice people like you in Petersburg, especially at our age. Bon voyage! If I go to Moscow, I might as well visit you there."

Pierre left Paris like this. His story may have just begun, but it will also be a very long experience.

And Solovyov could also predict that he would not stay in Paris for too long.

The formation of the Third Anti-French Alliance is underway. All parties are preparing for this large-scale war and are also fighting each other in diplomatic occasions.

As for the British instigation, Russia and Austria will soon be defeated. This is already clear. Britain is indispensable in every anti-French alliance, as well as the various teammates that were put together.

Therefore, the mission at the Russian Embassy in Paris may end at any time.

He has enough time to accompany Sylvia, and even now that "The Gourmet" is performing in the theater, the comic effects on the stage are still impressive, which is a success.

Comedy is mainly about making people laugh, although it always has a tragic core.

As for the political weather vane that Paris can see, it is probably the voices against Napoleon in some salons. Apart from that, the French army in Boulogne-sur-Mer is now training hard.

Napoleon still planned to land on the British mainland and designed a complicated plan, but it was somewhat difficult for him to realize this plan.
