Chapter 32 The Great French Dragoons Are Captured!
He had seen a portrait of this girl in his previous life!
She is the youngest daughter of King Louis XV of France, Princess Adelaide.
The Princess Adelaide he knew was a very enthusiastic political person who paid close attention to the international situation.
When she was 11 years old, she was very disgusted with Britain because of the bad relations between Britain and France. She wanted to entertain the British senior officials with cakes and then kill them all so that Britain would be defeated without a fight.
It's a pity that her grand conspiracy was not adopted.
But Adelaide's desire to share her father's worries and serve the country has not been given up. She wants to go to the front line to fight the British army in person!
So she stole 14 gold coins from the queen and tried to escape from the palace with this property. Unfortunately, she was discovered by the palace maid at the time and dragged her back. As a result, France avoided losing both people and money, while the British
A catastrophe was avoided.
Later, during the reign of Louis XVI, the French Revolution broke out. Louis XVI became the first king to be executed in French history. Adelaide, who grew up, was also forced to go into exile and became a single princess all her life.
.
Peter looked at the little girl in front of him, so, is this a French princess?
So the question is, why does a French princess appear here wearing the costume of a Russian palace maid?
Peter learned from his aunt that, except for Sophia, the other princesses had just crossed the border. Could this news have been misled?
What's the purpose?
Peter was lost in thought.
Seeing that Peter didn't speak, Adelaide was a little embarrassed, and she said weakly:
"Well... you have to believe me, I am really Russian!"
Peter smiled slightly and said:
"If you don't believe it, plug her mouth and take her back to the palace."
Seeing Peter turn around and leave, Adelaide panicked. What was he going to do and where was he going to take him?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Peter took his guards and Adelaide out of the garden when they unexpectedly saw Lestock, the court physician and counselor.
Lestock looked gloomy and was walking out in a hurry. He was startled by the movement here and was stunned for a moment when he saw Peter. He was about to salute when he saw Adelaide being arrested behind him.
Lestock's pupils shrank, then he saluted:
"Your Highness, this is..."
Peter did not like this counselor. Before his aunt launched the coup, Lestock was just a small nobleman from France. His status was not as good as those of the palace dignitaries. Even in France, he was only on the fringes of the palace.
But my aunt had no one at her disposal at the time, so even when she launched a coup, she only brought along her violin teacher, her widow's best friend, the palace doctor, and more than 300 soldiers. Fortunately, the people's will was in favor at the time, and the coup was successful without any bloodshed.
As soon as my aunt ascended the throne, these followers of the dragon immediately became prominent. Lestock rose from a once-exiled minor nobleman to become a celebrity in the palace, and he was also a guest in France.
In the palace drama he watched before time travel, it seemed that this guy caused his aunt's infertility, and even more clearly poisoned Ye Er, almost burping Emperor Catherine the Great, in order to make the French princess the crown prince.
, to bring Russia and France closer, and his personal status will naturally rise again.
Thinking that Adelaide behind him was a French princess, and this one was a French nobleman, Peter found it quite interesting.
If he had a profound meaning:
"A foreign spy."
Then he walked past with Adelaide.
When passing by Lestock, Adelaide's eyes widened and she looked anxious, but Lestock seemed not to have seen her, closing her eyes and looking down, as if she was waiting for Peter to pass by first.
As soon as Peter led the people away, Lestock's face immediately darkened.
Princess Adelaide had the audacity to pretend to be Princess Louisa's entourage and leave France, which he never expected.
Fortunately, he found out in time that Louisa and he had already agreed to send her back immediately.
But Adelaide said that when she came to Russia, she wanted to take away the Russian maid's palace clothes as a souvenir. Lestock didn't think much about it and had a custom-made suit.
And this kind of thing is not hidden from anyone.
But now...
Princess Adelaide was captured!
And she was arrested wearing the palace dress he had ordered!
It is impossible for the palace guards not to notice this. As long as they send someone to ask, they will soon find out that it was him.
The current situation no longer allows the original plan to be used. Princess Louisa must show up immediately, otherwise Peter will be lawless and God knows what he will do to Princess Adelaide.
Once something happens to Princess Adelaide, Louis XV will definitely be furious.
As long as Princess Louisa shows up, it should be okay for the French princess to come to Russia in advance to surprise the queen.
Although it is not the original plan, it is better than exposing him. As for the future, we can only take it one step at a time.
The more Lestock thought about it, the more frustrated he became. It was originally a matter of course, but it was actually ruined by Adelaide.
But then he felt a little confused.
Princess Adelaide was wearing a palace maid's costume and she also spoke Russian. Peter had never met Adelaide, so how did he know she was a foreigner?
Lestock grabbed the pigeon blood in his sleeve and wanted to smash it to the ground. Of these two princesses, one was a romantic and the other was in trouble. Both failed to succeed and failed to succeed!
It’s true, the king, why doesn’t he think highly of his own daughter?
…
At the French Embassy, Louisa was so sad. The folding fans from China were very exquisite and expensive, but they did not interest her.
How long will Lestock keep her waiting?
Just thinking about a noble French princess waiting to meet a Russian prince, and then ending the fight in two minutes, and then adding another achievement, Louisa couldn't help herself.
She just liked to seduce men. If she had no choice, the French princess was either already married or too young, Louis XV would not send her here.
Louisa couldn't help sighing. She had only gone out once since arriving in Russia, and she still found Princess Adelaide, the troublemaker. Her fragrant rose was trapped in the embassy and was about to wither.
Then she was pleasantly surprised to see Lestock coming.
"Dear Counselor, have you brought the fragrance of the virgin I want?"
Louisa shook her folding fan and made a reserved sound.
Lestock placed the small bottle containing pigeon blood in front of Louisa and said calmly:
"Adelaide was captured by Peter."
Louisa picked up the small bottle, then was stunned for a moment, and said disapprovingly:
"Adelaide? Isn't Adelaide...?"
Then she thought of Adelaide's character, and she couldn't help being frightened and angry.
She should have expected that wherever Adelaide was around, things would become messy.
She held the bottle tightly and almost gritted her teeth and asked:
