Chapter Three The Oak Barrel and Jane Eyre

When Peter and his party returned to Moscow, everyone felt that the atmosphere was abnormal.

The atmosphere was cheerful, warm, but also heavy.

Peter did not underestimate his intuition. Thanks to the "good" reputation of his original body, Peter, he decided to make his path to imperial power more stable before officially ascending the throne.

It turns out that Peter's stupidest decision was to refuse to be crowned in the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, without even agreeing on a specific date for the coronation.

Just like a woman hopes to use her wedding dress to show that she is officially married, he is well aware of the dual religious and political significance of holding a consecration ceremony in Moscow.

Compared with St. Petersburg, this is the foundation of Russian national culture. In the hearts of most subjects, this is the capital of a country.

Every czar and empress wore a crown in this holy city.

Only when he is crowned in the Kremlin Palace here will his status as emperor be recognized by Moscow and the Russian people.

Before that, he didn't want anything unpleasant to happen.

The carriage entered the city in the afternoon, and before we knew it, it was night. In the darkness, oak barrels from the five families of Yusupov, Bolkonsky, Bezukhov, Rostov, and Kuragin came one after another.

It was constantly transported to the palace.

All oak barrels are stored next door to the Crown Prince's palace.

Because there are too many oak barrels, and each one is heavy.

If you open the lid of the bucket, the contents inside are enough to drive you crazy.

An oak barrel contains silver coins worth 5,000 rubles. The first time the five major families participated in the fund, the amount was 14 million rubles, and this time it was 18 million rubles, for a total of 32 million rubles.

A total of 6,400 oak barrels.

This was not only an extremely huge wealth for Peter personally, but also for Russia.

Peter ordered no one to enter this palace, and he was not afraid of thieves. There were so many oak barrels in the palace, and moving one would immediately alert the palace maids or guards.

At nightfall, after a busy day, Peter carried an oak barrel into the bedroom. After Catherine helped him change clothes, she asked curiously:

"Your Majesty, so many people are transporting this thing, what's in it?"

Hearing the word "Your Majesty", Peter felt a little strange, but his aunt had already said it, and now only the coronation was left, so he did not correct it.

The clothes on her body were taken off, and the soft silk covered her body. It seemed that her whole body was relaxed. Peter ordered Ekaterina to take off her clothes as well. He admired her glowing body and put on silk pajamas before smiling.

road:

"If you open it and take a look, you'll know?"

Ekaterina obediently walked forward, bent down to tear off the seal, and then felt a hand enter her nightgown, and Peter's smiling voice sounded:

"tear."

Scratching and tearing, Ekaterina's face turned red, and then she screamed in surprise.

"Oh my God, Your Majesty, there are so many..."

Although it was not the first time for Peter to see it, he was still very satisfied with the silver coins inside.

The flickering light was at his disposal like a pirate's treasure.

It can be seen from the color of these silver coins that they were cast by the mint and entered the treasury of major families before they were widely circulated.

This does not mean that these silver coins are not valuable, on the contrary, their circulation is still normal.

Peter grabbed a handful of silver coins, feeling the coldness, and then sprinkled them into Ekaterina's nightgown as she exclaimed.

"His Majesty……"

Ekaterina's face was red, she looked at Peter with watery eyes, her lips seemed to be moistened, and then the silk nightgown slowly pulled up.

hiss--

Just when the two people's eyes met, and the flames were about to start a prairie fire, the maid's voice came from outside:

"Your Majesty, Countess Roman asks to see you!"

In an instant, Ekaterina put down her clothes, quickly arranged them, put all the silver coins back into the oak barrel, covered them and put them aside. Peter said:

"Let her in."

Peter was a little confused as to why Vivian came to him at this time, and then his heart moved.

Has the proofreading of the results of this period of hard work been completed?

When Vivian came in, she saw the dignified and elegant two people, like a harmonious oil painting, which made her envious.

Vivian saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, what you told us has been completed. This is now a printed book."

Peter motioned to Vivian to hand it over, and Vivian walked forward in small steps and handed it over respectfully.

The printed book has obviously lost its smell. When you turn the first page, you see two big words:

"He loves."

Peter coughed dryly, there was nothing he could do, the scribe in the eighteenth century couldn't give him a name after Allure.

.And he is the protagonist, and he needs to use this to suppress his previous bad reputation before he is crowned. At least he cannot be booed by others.

All this is due to the fact that Peter had a bad reputation and he was crowned so quickly.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Ekaterina sat next to Peter curiously and asked.

"A book about you and me."

After Peter answered, he put the book on the bed, stood up, hugged Vivian, and said:

"Vivian, I will never forget what you did for me. I will definitely pray to the Holy Mother and find ways to keep your body healthy."

Vivian was a little confused, but Peter's hug made her feel very warm. After letting go, Vivian said gratefully:

"Your Majesty, it is my honor to serve you!"

Peter smiled and said:

"You will have this opportunity. It's getting late, go and have a rest."

"Yes! Your Majesty, Holy Ann! Madam, Holy Ann!"

Catherine was not the queen yet, so Vivian had to call her vaguely.

Catherine politely returned the favor.

When Vivian went out, Ekaterina could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked:

"Your Majesty, why is it said to be a book between Your Majesty and me? What is written in it? Why is it called Peter Love?"

Peter smiled slightly and began to explain to Catherine.

"The orphan Sophia's parents died when she was young, and she was fostered at her aunt's house. She was severely abused, and was later sent to Lowood School by her aunt.

The environment at Lowood School was harsh, but she survived tenaciously.

Two years after graduation, Sophia applied for a job as a tutor to make a living.

The owner Peter has a melancholic and moody personality, but after a long period of contact, Sofia found that Peter was kind-hearted, upright, and resolute, and she gradually developed feelings for him.

When they held their wedding in the church, Sophia painfully discovered that Peter had a crazy wife, Bertha.

Sophia passed away sadly.

Later, her uncle, who had been separated from her for many years, died of illness and bequeathed her a huge amount of property.

Unable to forget her love for Peter, she returned to her old place, only to find out that a few months ago the mad woman set her on fire and died. Peter had one of his eyes smashed out to save his mad wife, and the other eye became inflamed and he could no longer see.

Peter immediately went to express his true feelings to him, and the two eventually fell in love.

Later, Peter had one eye healed in Moscow and gave birth to a boy with Peter."

That’s right, this is the story of Jane Eyre!
