Chapter 71 Nedra and Barbaria, New Developments in Red and White Armbands
The minister had no choice but to arrange for people in Austria to spread the truth.
However, a few days later, there was a thunderstorm in Berlin, the capital of Prussia, and a thick bolt of lightning struck directly at the palace. The fire burned and quickly burned into a piece. Frederick, wearing only a nightgown, escaped in a hurry with his beloved purebred German dog.
They were also running wildly, and a man and a dog bumped into each other.
Frederick's pet dog bit Frederick's nightgown and dragged it all the way to save its owner from danger, but Frederick's balls were in great pain.
After this incident, Frederick lost his face.
Because everyone was talking about Frederick's amazing size.
Frederick called the Lutheran archbishop before his eyes and reprimanded him:
"Peter of Russia had a divine revelation and obtained a divine weapon. What about you?"
"Did you see the burning fire? I almost died in the flames!"
The Archbishop shivered and said:
"Your Majesty, how about you install a Russian artifact just like Theresa?"
Upon hearing this, Frederick's face turned livid with anger.
He had teased Elizabeth about religious matters before, and the whole of Europe knew about it. Now he is installing the artifact of Elizabeth's nephew?
Elizabeth would laugh at herself to death without even meeting anyone.
After pondering for a long time and looking at the burned palace, Frederick said expressionlessly:
"I wrote to Sophia's father, Prince Christian, and asked him to find a way to facilitate this matter. This was Christian's persuasion. I couldn't bear that my subject was so loyal, so I reluctantly installed one or two of Peter's artifacts. Do you understand?"
Having reached this point, the Archbishop did not want to provoke Frederick's wrath. He had also heard the news from Russia.
The Russian Orthodox Church's lands and serfs were all returned to the country in the blink of an eye. These days, he has been trembling with fear, lest Frederick also follow Peter III's example.
Although the Prussian church did not have that much wealth, it was not good to be targeted by the emperor.
The archbishop hurried away immediately after receiving the order. After he left, Frederick frowned and said nothing. How could he not know the archbishop's worries?
But he was not the one to take action against domestic religion. Foreign war was his choice. The province of Silesia expanded his population by one-third. Frederick felt that Peter was fooling around.
But……
Did Peter really receive revelation?
Frederick really couldn't understand this.
The news that Peter had received Holy Enlightenment and was confirmed spread to the north, and Sweden was silent after learning about it.
Frederick I sighed, feeling that his time was running out.
Fortunately, Peter has accepted his kindness, and as long as he cooperates with Johanna, he can still live a happy second half of his life.
At this moment, he wished that Johanna had come earlier so that he could return to Hesse.
At this time, in the Moscow Palace, Johanna was chatting with Peter about life, talking about how she would please Russia after becoming the Queen of Sweden, and her words were full of flattery.
Peter smiled at Johanna's words.
Although he rarely went to see Johanna during this period of time, every time he saw Johanna, she showed a flattering face. Seeing Johanna like this, Peter felt inexplicably happy.
He is probably the first person in the world who can treat his mother-in-law so freely.
Johanna had been a member of the royal court when she was in Prussia. Even after marrying Stettin, she did not forget to take Sophia everywhere to find wealthy relatives. At this time, the Queen of Sweden was coming, and Johanna even showed her eloquence to Peter.
Peter was happy, and so was Johanna.
Time passed unknowingly, and Nedra and Barbaria had become red armbands and white armbands for about a month, and their work was now free.
However, the two of them were still filled with extreme enthusiasm for His Majesty. In addition to paying routine greetings to His Majesty, they also often prayed to His Majesty in their hearts.
His Majesty's position in their hearts seems to have replaced the Virgin Mary.
This was completely unimaginable in the past.
During this time, a new change occurred in Russia, the secondary impact of the transfer of priests and literate nuns.
Nedra no longer returned to her place of residence around ten o'clock in the evening as usual, but came back before eight o'clock.
This is not because she is lazy, but because it is really difficult to find abandoned babies anymore.
There are now more than 18 orphanages in Moscow. More and more citizens are beginning to trust Notre Dame. Courageous citizens even bring their children in during the day, which also greatly reduces the workload of red and white armbands.
.
The women's bathhouse was full of white flowers, and laughter could be heard from time to time. Nedra also felt everyone's happiness, and a smile appeared on her lips.
An exclamation came: "Wow, Nedra, are you a cow? You are so big!"
Nedra knew it was Barbaria just by the sound of her voice, and their relationship got better and better during this time.
Patting Barbaria's hand away, Nedra glanced at Barbaria. She was embarrassed to say that Barbaria's was similar to hers, so she just said:
"Let me rub your back."
Barbaria nodded and lay down by the bathtub, enjoying the strength of Nedra's hand.
Despite her petite body, Nedra's hand strength is not as strong as hers, which is due to the fact that she worked for her parents when she was a serf.
She also knew about Nedra's family situation, and Nedra spent more time taking care of her younger siblings.
In the scrubbing room, Barbaria whispered:
"Nedra, I heard that we are going to start learning some technical trades here. There are tailoring, barbering, lace making, bedding sewing, clothes ironing, embroidery, curling, and many chefs. Which one do you want to learn?"
Nedra often runs outside and knows more information than Barbaria. She also said softly:
"It's not just our place. I heard that places where there are white armbands and red armbands under Notre Dame are starting to do so."
Nedra said, getting excited:
"I want to learn them all, so that the price can be higher in the future. Moreover, let me tell you secretly, the higher-ups seem to pay more attention to cooks. I heard that they even invited French chefs to teach this."
"Really? Are they paying attention to the cook? Is it from Notre Dame?"
Barbaria looked surprised when she heard this.
"I don't know about this. I also heard from other red armbands."
The two talked softly without lowering their voices too much. It had no impact at this time because everyone in the bath was talking about this matter.
They are all state-owned serfs. The more skills they learn, the higher their social status will be, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the family.
Just when the bathhouse was bustling with activity, a prim-looking nun walked in.
Although the Orthodox Church has undergone tremendous changes recently, the status of clergy, even if they belong to state civil servants, is still three levels higher than them. Therefore, as soon as the nuns entered, the bathhouse was immediately silent.
The armbands all stood respectfully by the bathhouse or in the pool waiting for the nun to speak.
The nun didn't say that much, she just said simply:
"Everyone pack up and gather at the training ground in fifteen minutes. The nun has something to announce."
Nedra and Barbaria looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes. The news about both of them was hearsay. Is it going to be officially announced now?
Holding back the excitement in their hearts, the two of them and the other female armbands saluted the nun and said:
