Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 371 013 Alexander is running towards the enhanced version of King Zhuang of Chu

After everyone left, Louisa sat closer.

"Your Highness, I am here today."

When Louisa saw him like this, she actually knew what was going on.

"I once promised you that I would introduce you to a wife. What do you think of Katya?"

Louisa had a good eye. After only a few chats with the simple-minded little Katya, she found that Princess Dolgorukova had a gentle personality, outstanding manners, and a devout faith.

Although she knew that Solovyov's faith was not very devout, and he even preferred to quote Greek and Eastern philosophy, which were definitely not monotheistic theories, she thought such an arrangement was feasible.

"But Katya is too young. She is not even 15 years old now."

"You've been in the palace for so long. How old was Elena when she got married?"

In fact, in addition to Solovyov's own ability to attract Paul's attention, Elena and Maria also played a significant role in his long-term stay in the palace.

The second princess was surprisingly young when she got married and had children.

“That will have to wait.”

"Oh, you're still a little embarrassed."

Solovyov looked at himself in the mirror and saw that it was indeed the case.

"Luisa, little Katya is a good kid. I met her when she was only 6 years old. But we also have to consider that she and my sister Yulia are very good friends. Although we rarely meet, we often communicate."

Solovyov said this, and Louisa understood what he meant.

"If that's the case, we should let it go first. But if someone steals it, it will be difficult to deal with."

Although Louisa spent most of her time in the palace, preferring to be alone with her children and rarely having contact with the outside world, she still learned a lot of things through the court maids who had become nuns.

A typical example is that when Natalia the Elder and Prince "Little" Golitsyn came to the palace, Natalia the Elder would mention what was happening outside the palace.

But now Louisa's suggestion to Solovyov that little Katya would become his wife in the future, Solovyov began to consider it seriously.

After all, he couldn't always be with Louisa, and their relationship was secretive and dangerous.

At the same time, although Solovyov knew Alexander's temper very well, he was not completely sure about this matter.

After all, I am not Czartoryski and I don’t have that capital.

“But I still want to say it.”

"Besides that, Misha, come to my place at night. You are a warrior, are you still as brave as ever?"

Louisa wanted his company, so she said so.

"Louisa, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

"Well, come to the Tauride Palace tonight. I'm going to go back there from today. The Winter Palace is not suitable for me after all."

For her, being a queen was a heavy burden, and not being able to give birth to a son was also a great pressure.

However, both of them forgot one thing. When Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was still alive, she didn't care what her nephew Peter III and his wife could give birth to. As long as it was a boy, it would be fine even if it was not Peter III's own flesh and blood. What Russia needed was an heir.

Out of respect for Paul, Solovyov intentionally or unintentionally forgot about this matter.

After all, Paul was highly similar to Peter III in both appearance and temperament.

If this is false, it would be a great victory for Lysenko.

Of course, Louisa's request for him to come over was also a very secret operation, and it had to be done according to the old method.

Alexander also felt strange. His favorite mistress was Maria Naryshkina, but the Polish girl gave birth to all girls, no matter whether it was Alexander or her husband. The same was true for other mistresses. The proportion of girls among these noble ladies and maids who gave birth recently was very high, and Alexander also roughly knew which one was his child.

As for the twins Polina and Svetlana, they look more like their mother, and since they were born together, they have some spiritual connection.

It is hard for outsiders to believe that their father is not the same person, and some people may even think about what Zeus often does.

Such a person is not afraid of even Zeus' lightning and must strike hard.

If they knew this, they might think it was a "miracle". You have to know that Alexander was very superstitious. Russia not only had feudal serfdom, but also feudal superstition.

As for going to Louisa's at night, Solovyov was quite cunning. He deliberately put on the uniform of the Semyonovsky Regiment, which often represents "outlaws" in St. Petersburg.

If it were the uniform of the Guards Chasseurs or the General Corps, it would be too conspicuous.

And meeting Louisa in this way really shows that the two of them have a good relationship.

At the same time, Alexander, who was in the Winter Palace, brought Maria Naryshkina and their daughter to spend the weekend together in the Winter Palace.

The Tsar was very clear about the issue of the Queen and his mistress. Even though the two of them were almost lesbians, they had to be separated in daily life.

As for why Alexander did this, it was because he was somewhat superstitious.

Since you can't have a son, just live the life you want.

But unlike his later mysticism, he now wanted to live this kind of life with his wife and mistress in turn, but this practice was very strange and always made people wonder what he was trying to do.

Of course, Louisa had her own ideas when she asked Solovyov to come over.

It wasn't a question of succession. In fact, even if she had a son, she wouldn't want her child to sit on the throne. But because of her family, she couldn't leave St. Petersburg and live a semi-secluded life in the countryside.

Therefore, she also suggested to Alexander that Maria Naryshkina and she could take turns serving him, which made the Tsar himself a little embarrassed and he even stopped caring about Louisa's personal life.

Of course, the couple had recently heard about the satire of the Russian royal family in Paris newspapers, and they felt somewhat uncomfortable with it, so they decided to just go with this statement.

Anyway, Bonaparte still has no son of his own, so it doesn't matter what he says, Alexander and Louise have a daughter.

Louisa also had to hand over her five daughters to the nanny, asking them to go to bed quickly, and she would be alone in the bedroom.

Solovyov knew the path. He could climb in from under a window sill on the side of the palace.

The only problem is that it's still a bit slippery here in winter. That's the problem with the marble railings. But he was wearing plenty of clothes, so he didn't get hurt.

But when Louisa saw him coming in like this, she laughed.

"Misha, you look so embarrassed."

"Yes, it was even more embarrassing than on the battlefield. When I was covering His Majesty's retreat, I taught the French a lesson." Solovyov did write the message left by the Russian soldiers in Georgia on the wall of the Austerlitz Castle, but he was not sure whether the French had seen it.

"Come and read with me. I don't want to listen to stories, but to things you are good at, such as Eastern history."

However, there were too many Chinese history books. In order to help the St. Petersburg Pedagogical College and the Moscow Imperial University become familiar with Eastern culture and provide materials for the newly established Oriental Studies major, Solovyov only wanted to translate "Zuo Zhuan" and "Shangshu". Many books could not be found in Russia, so Solovyov could only exchange folk publications with the smugglers in Kyakhta and the wealthy people in Shanxi for a complete set of the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as some printed history books.

Of course, the publishing house also had requirements for him. Because Guan Yu was very popular in Russia and Erye liked to read "Spring and Autumn Annals", Solovyov's latest translation work was to translate "Zuo Zhuan", and the progress was very stable.

Even if he was caught, Solovyov came with the translation manuscript.

Louisa looked very relaxed like this, leaning back in the recliner in her loose pajamas.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Ever since you went on a mission to Europe, you were very careful and cautious after you came back. It wasn't until today that you came back to me."

"Yeah, but the history I'm translating right now is obviously darker."

After Solovyov finished reading a passage, Louisa also understood what a dark story it was.

"This place is full of conspiracies. If the king favors his young wife like this, something bad will happen in the country. Especially since there are older princes in the country and even the crown prince has been established. If we are not careful, a civil war will definitely break out. It's just like the wars of succession that often happen in Europe. It doesn't sound good."

"Yes, Louisa, you are right. What happened next was a long period of chaos."

"Then don't tell me about this. Do you have any other translated manuscripts?"

"what"

In addition to translating the stories of Li Ji's rebellion and Chong'er's escape, Solovyov also completed some content related to King Zhuang of Chu.

In fact, what he is doing now is much more excessive than what the general did when he flirted with King Zhuang of Chu's beloved concubine.

Besides, it was a bit presumptuous to say this in front of Louisa.

But after hearing this, Louisa just laughed it off.

"You little rascal, this story seems to have been mentioned before."

"But I am not a 'ruble'."

What they were doing was a bit too sophisticated, and if it wasn't explained, I would have thought it was an encrypted call.

"You are certainly not that reckless, and you are very talented. Although you are brave, you are more intelligent."

Then Louisa stood up from the sofa and extended her hand to Solovyov.

"Misha, you can kiss my hand."

"Of course I would, Louisa."

"At times like these, let's dance tonight, a waltz without music."

Solovyov was very happy to accept her request, and both of them did not move quickly, just enjoying the atmosphere.

"You haven't composed music in a long time. It seems that only Maria, who is married far away, can allow you to do so often."

"I have too many things to do. Recently, His Highness Constantine asked me to organize the staff of the Guards."

"Ah, you are always responsible, but you are always alone. You are really a 'Ponomacher'."

"No, Louisa, it should be 'Monomach'."

Louisa was wrong here, and Solovyov corrected her. This was the nickname of the Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine IX, and his grandson, Grand Prince Vladimir of Kiev, also had the same nickname as a name.

It means "one who fights alone", which is quite appropriate.

"But if I want to share my knowledge, I always need someone to help me."

"Do you want me to talk to Alexander for you?"

Although this pillow talk is convenient, Solovyov has to protect himself and Louisa, and he still cherishes this relationship.

"That's not good, if..."

"It doesn't matter. I'll let Martha tell you that your Majesty is good friends with her, and so am I. Although it sounds strange, as the queen, I am indeed a close friend of your Majesty's mistress. If she were a man, I would definitely fall in love with her."

"That makes me a little jealous."

After turning around a few times, Louisa felt tired, so she leaned into Solovyov's arms and heard these words.

"Do you have such a moment too? It seems that everyone has such emotional problems."

After Solovyov caught her, he began to stroke her smooth back. Because of the pajamas, a large area of ​​her back skin was exposed.

"But my identity means that we can't be together for long. One day, I will get married, and maybe the bride is really arranged by you."

"You will come to my place less and less often in the future. Perhaps one day you will be sent by Alexander to be a governor or commander of an army. At that time, you will have few opportunities to accompany me."

Louisa probably knew that Solovyov was also very sentimental, but there was one thing about him: he would never say no, whether it was in work, emotions or friendship.

Therefore, he would still be emotional when he was around her.

"Louisa, what do you want me to do?"

"I think you can stay with me for a while, tonight, and in the next few days, when you are free."

By the way, Louisa lives in the Tavrid Palace, so it is quite convenient to sneak in here.

Moreover, because of her living habits, the maids often went to rest early, and the "vigilance" outside was still relatively "lax".

In addition, Solovyov always had the habit of getting up early, so it was easier for him to leave quietly while the night was long.

However, what to do with Louisa at night depends on what this young and beautiful queen, who is not even thirty years old, is going to do.

For example, doing leg raises.
Fortunately, Louisa didn't have many lovers, and only this one succeeded, while the others were rejected.

In this case, Alexander was already a more powerful version of King Zhuang of Chu. In other words, he was also quite tolerant and would not care about the fact that his wife really had a lover.

Under these conditions, if Solovyov was really caught one day, he would have to work very hard.
