Then Romanosov coughed dryly and began to ask about the grammar he had just taught.
But what surprised him was that His Highness only answered two out of ten of the questions he asked.
Where is His Highness's talent?
Romanosov wondered if it was because he had just arrived and had not established a familiar relationship with His Highness, so His Highness had reservations.
He also knew that he was a serious person, so he softened his facial expression and tone, and asked His Highness again with words he had never softened before.
But the result is still the same.
Romanosov was stunned.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Peter was speechless. This star of science taught a lot just now. As a beginner, it was good for him to be able to speak only a little bit. In his previous life, he was also an outstanding student in the class, and he was more than enough to be a class representative.
Just when Peter's French class reached a stalemate, there was laughter and laughter in a noble manor.
In the vast garden, although the flowers and plants among the many ancient lime trees have not yet bloomed, there are winding paths that are smooth as mirrors not far away, the deep blue lake water, and the fields further away extend in a semicircle.
Come, and then the dark forest, which is enough to prove that this is the territory of a large noble.
In the huge territory, the coachman tied the horse to the carriage shed. The carriage horse shook its head, and the small bell tied to the shaft pillow made a clear sound.
The servant took out a glass of vodka and two large slices of ham bread from behind the bottom shelf of the cabinet in the residence, but the bread fell to the ground and was snatched away by the dog.
The poor maid overboiled the coffee and burned the milk while washing the dishes. She accidentally dropped the cup when she put it down, and she was helpless when she put the tray on the table, which made another loud banging sound.
When the female steward saw it, she jumped up like a lioness and scolded her, venting her dissatisfied anger.
And all of this, the closer you are to the place where the master lives, the quieter the sound becomes, so that when you get within a hundred meters of the master's living area, everything becomes orderly, even the dogs are chained and quiet.
No more barking.
In this environment, Vorontsova came to Count Roman's house.
But Count Roman was not there. In the living room, Vorontsova was talking softly with a beautiful and dignified lady, laughing from time to time.
With the sound of a baby crying, the lady began to breastfeed.
Vorontsova looked at her sister and said to the countess:
"She will definitely be a very good-looking girl when she grows up."
Countess Roman expressed her tender thanks and, while breastfeeding, was concerned about Vorontsova's court life. When she heard that Vorontsova had come to bring greetings from His Highness, she could not help but stand up in surprise, so that the baby
The food rations were shaking precariously.
Countess Roman called the maid to hand her daughter over, straightened her clothes and saluted Vorontsova:
"On behalf of the Earl, I thank His Highness for his greetings and please convey our gratitude and admiration to His Highness."
Because she represented His Highness, Vorontsova accepted the ceremony calmly and then said:
"Madam, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Thanks to His Highness, Your Highness will be your daughter's godfather when she is baptized. His Majesty will also attend. This is an honor for you and our family. I hope
Before your baptism, you pray with piety for Your Highness and Her Royal Highness the Queen."
Countess Roman was stunned. The greetings Vorontsova brought to His Highness were already a surprise, but she did not expect that His Highness would become her daughter's godfather, and His Majesty would also attend!
The woman was so excited that she even choked up.
She knew very well how glorious this was, and therefore, she felt even more apologetic and guilty that Count Roman was not present at this time. She solemnly expressed her gratitude to His Highness and her admiration and allegiance to His Majesty to Vorontsova.
I hope to thank His Highness in person when entering the palace.
Vorontsova smiled. After conveying His Royal Highness's greetings, the next step was the conversation between her aunt and niece. After sitting down, Countess Roman said with some emotion:
"Your Highness's selection of the Crown Princess is a big deal. It is really heart-warming that His Highness can think of us when he is so busy."
Vorontsova showed an expression of approval and said:
"Yes, His Highness is a very good person. I hope that the crown prince selected will be worthy of His Highness."
After chatting for a while, Countess Roman asked carefully:
"I wonder where your sister will be raised after she is baptized. Will it be with her parents or in the palace?"
Vorontsova shook her head and said:
"I don't know what His Highness means, but I guess based on Your Highness's kindness, even if you are raised in the palace, as your mother, Your Highness may suggest to the Queen that you should also be the Queen's maid. Then naturally, you and your daughter can be with each other at any time.
See."
Countess Roman was very grateful for Vorontsova's words, and her heart was slightly relieved.
Today, it is no better than in the past. It used to be that the maids-in-waiting were all young, unmarried girls. But I heard that during the Louis XIV period in France, a certain maid-in-waiting gave birth to a child with someone else. When such a thing happened, the French court decided to
The maids are all married ladies, and they can live in the palace with their families.
Then the effect started to follow, and noble ladies also asked noble ladies to be their maids. France is so powerful, and other countries also followed suit.
This has also inevitably affected this place. Up to now, some of the Russian palace maids are composed of unmarried girls. These unmarried girls are basically from nobility. The higher the status of the person, the more likely the maid is to be a noble lady.
For example, the Queen's most famous maid is the Duchess of Polya. Because she can bring her daughter to live in the palace, it is rumored that her daughter Kaldu has an unusual relationship with His Highness. This is why she is close to the noble.
benefit.
As she thought about it, Countess Roman couldn't help but reveal a yearning smile.
Those are His Highness Peter and the Queen~
How great it is to be close to them!
The countess chatted with Vorontsova more and more happily, and then kindly invited Vorontsova to accept her hospitality, but Vorontsova politely declined.
Hearing that Vorontsova had to rush back to report to His Highness, the Countess had no choice but to express her regrets, once again express her respect for His Highness, and then bid farewell to Vorontsova.
After Vorontsova left, the countess quickly ran to her daughter, kissed her daughter's face, and hugged her daughter happily.
The daughter is really a little angel. She received the attention of the royal family soon after she was born.
Then she immediately announced that all the serfs would rest for three days and pray for His Highness and the Queen.
