Chapter Twenty-Three Great Changes: The Fragrance Arriving in the Sky Penetrates Chang'an, and the City Is Covered with Golden Armor!

After a long time, Peter sighed. After all, it was the original Peter who was too stubborn and gave Yeka a chance.

But now, he looked at the person in his arms. Before going to bed, Yeka was still obsessed with holding her to sleep.

I'm almost tired of kissing this little pacifier.

"Booji——"

He pecked again and then fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was clear and clear, and Deputy Minister of General Affairs Bestudev had the opportunity to meet Her Majesty the Queen.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has become a grand duke and cannot be without convenient manpower. I would like to recommend some people for the grand duke and his wife to use."

Bestudev said respectfully to the empress.

Elizabeth said:

"Who can you recommend? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, although the matter of Johanna's collaboration with the enemy has come to an end and the two ambassadors have been expelled, it is not yet certain whether Grand Duke Catherine was involved in it. This matter must be guarded against."

Elizabeth pondered for a moment, thinking of Yekaterina's beautiful appearance last night, and nodded slightly:

"Keep talking."

Bestudev suddenly felt happy.

He was already prepared to be rejected by His Majesty, but he didn't expect that he now seemed to have a chance.

Lachetadier and Madefield have been in Russia for more than 20 years. He finally drove them away, and the resistance to establishing a pro-British, Austrian, and Saxon camp was greatly reduced. He did not want to appear before the matter was settled.

A new political circle.

But the crown prince and his wife have been made grand dukes, so it would be best to limit their scope of activities or deploy people.

"Your Majesty, I recommend to you your cousin Maria Simonova Chogolokova. Her husband is also your attendant and they are loyal to you."

When Bestudev recommended Chogolokova, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Her cousin was known for her virtue and loyalty. She adored her husband and gave birth to a son for her husband almost every year. Her performance in housework was enough to become a role model for Catherine.

Elizabeth couldn't help but feel worried when she thought about the status of her mother and Prince Christian in Catherine's family.

Fortunately, Peter did not show the phenomenon of putting the cart before the horse.

So it was decided by Bestudev out of his own political considerations, and by Elizabeth out of the major issue of inheritance and her subtle jealousy of Catherine.

In the evening, Peter came to say hello, and Elizabeth took Peter's hand and told him what had happened.

Peter was stunned for a moment and said:

"Aunt, who are you talking about?"

"Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Chogolokova, both of them are very loyal to their aunt."

Elizabeth was talking on the side, and Peter couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The reason why he ignored this matter was entirely because some female courtiers had already been arranged. He did not expect that Bestudev wanted to insert someone else.

Are Chogolokova and his wife loyal to their aunt?

Don't be ridiculous, even though there is such a blood relationship, their loyal person is Bestudev!

"Peter, don't you want to?"

Seeing that Peter didn't speak, Elizabeth felt a little strange.

"No, aunt, I do, but I hope only Chogolokova comes and her husband doesn't have to come."

Peter smiled.

Thinking of Peter not letting the bishop examine Catherine's body, Elizabeth couldn't help but said:

"I don't know where you get all these weird jealousies."

Peter laughed. This was not jealousy. It was simply because he didn't want to have a watchdog in front of him.

And he is also Bestudev's watchdog.

Thinking of Bestudev, Peter couldn't help but feel angry. Even if he despised himself, he had already begun to deal with him. Did he really think that he would tolerate it just because he dedicated his life to Russia?

Even though Bestudev was capable, his political idea was to unite Britain, Austria and Saxony against Prussia and France.

Although I have never participated in politics, it is because I was a crown prince before. Without the Order of St. Andrew, I had no confidence. Now I not only have it, but I am also a Grand Duke.

His political views seem very similar to those of Bestudev, but they are also different, and the difference is vastly different.

What he wants to unite is France, Saxony and Austria, and his goal is the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Prussia and the Ottomans, not to unite with the United Kingdom.

A flash of light flashed in Peter's eyes. Since Bestudev has embarked on the same old path, don't blame yourself for being rude.

There is no more Bestudev, but there are many. As a prophet, no one knows the route better than myself!

Peter spoke:

"Auntie, didn't you say you would give me the Queen Elizabeth Fund last time?"

"yes."

Elizabeth didn't understand what Peter was talking about.

Peter approached his aunt and used the coquettish technique:

"Auntie, let the parliament legislate this, okay? The final decision is between you and me. No one is allowed to interfere with operations and profits. It is a serious crime for private parties."

Elizabeth said disapprovingly:

"How big of a deal it is to legislate. Isn't it nonsense?"

Peter shook his head and said:

"Aunt, you're not kidding. How much do you think you'll earn in the next few days?"

"How many?"

Elizabeth yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

"14 million rubles, the Yusupov family bought 8 million rubles, the other four families..."

Before Peter could finish speaking, he felt his aunt stiffen.

Elizabeth's eyes widened and she said:

"How many?"

"14 million."

Peter whispered.

Elizabeth looked at Peter in disbelief. Seeing that her nephew had no intention of lying at all, she couldn't help but become serious.

Then he said seriously:

"Tell me everything."

So Peter didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

After a long silence, Elizabeth watched Peter take a long breath and said with a complicated expression:

"Peter, do you know how valuable 14 million is?"

Peter was stunned for a moment when he saw Elizabeth's expression turned serious as never before. He had never seen such an expression on his aunt's face.

It seems solemn, distant, and in a trance, very complicated.

It seemed that what he was in close contact with at this moment was not his aunt or Queen Elizabeth, but a symbol.

But this feeling passed quickly.

Elizabeth watched Peter ask him to stand up, then looked up and down, stared at Peter very carefully, and finally said softly:

"Peter, if your aunt gives you power, please don't drive your aunt to the convent, okay?"

Peter was shocked and looked at his aunt in disbelief.

An unimaginable speculation instantly hit my heart.

In an instant, Peter transformed into a licking dog and rushed over. He hugged his aunt tightly and said:

"Aunt, no matter what you want to do, please feel free to do it! Your nephew is your eternal support and your indestructible support, and the empire will always be yours!"

"You will always be Peter's favorite little mom!"

Elizabeth gently stroked Peter's face, not knowing whether the decision she made was right or wrong, but she knew that it was not a whim.

After a while, Queen Elizabeth regained her majesty and said:

"In three days, come with me on a pilgrimage."

"yes!"

Peter asked nothing. Nothing was as important at this moment!

That night, Peter was very excited when he returned.

He looked up at the stars, rolled up his sleeves, and laughed silently.

When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they have bloomed.

The incense formation soaring to the sky penetrates Chang'an and fills the entire city——

Golden armor!
