Chapter 45: What You Approve, I Oppose

Gradually, Vorontsova’s face burned and she murmured:

"Your Highness..."

It's like a mosquito humming.

Peter couldn't bear it any longer.

It's not like the novels he occasionally read in his previous life. He once read a book called Birdman II, which was very pure and ambiguous. It was really pure and ambiguous. It has been written to tens of millions of words, and he still doesn't recommend it.

The protagonist has been a virgin for ten thousand years.

But he was different. In the 18th century, let alone the crown prince, he was just an ordinary nobleman. Many nights, the maids were not allowed to close the door, just to facilitate theft of jade and fragrance.

Peter thought that he should also study hard. One day it will be stipulated that the maids and ladies in the palace cannot close the door, and he can go wherever he wants.

Then he started to take off his clothes enthusiastically. When he was almost done, he was dumbfounded.

Why is it so difficult for Vorontsova to take off her clothes?

The socks are made of wool and are tied with garters around the knees. Not to mention, they don't need to be taken off. They are very interesting to hold in your hands.

Underwear is a must.

Not to mention the waistband with holes pierced one by one. Although it is uncomfortable, it is necessary to maintain the body shape at this time.

But the petticoat, the second petticoat, the third petticoat, the fourth petticoat, the fifth petticoat...

Peter gradually stopped.

He stood up silently, losing interest.

The clothes of a palace maid are too inhumane, so it would be easier for Adelaide to wear the attire of a maid at the very least.

Vorontsova's chest rose and fell violently. Thinking about what she saw that day, she felt very nervous. Could she do it alone?

Then I felt that the hot breath was leaving me. When I opened my eyes, I saw His Highness standing up and getting dressed, with a somewhat calm expression.

Vorontsova panicked, got up quickly and said:

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I suddenly wanted to go out and relax."

Peter said calmly.

"OK……"

Vorontsova began to dress Peter, with indescribable disappointment in her voice, not understanding what went wrong.

Peter didn't say much.

As a crown prince, you have to please the maids, not yourself.

After walking out of the palace, the cold wind hit his face, and Peter suddenly felt refreshed.

I have nothing to do in the morning, and I don’t need to go to my aunt. The War of Austrian Succession is still going on. The main commanders are Louis XV, Frederick II, Philip V, Franz I, George II and my aunt Elizabeth.

A generation.

The participating parties were the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of France, Spain and the Grand Duchy of Austria, the United Kingdom, the Dutch Republic, and the Russian Empire. The battlefields involved Europe, North America, and India.

Although the fight between the two parties was in full swing, it did not affect Russia's selection of the crown prince and concubine, as all countries sent people to come.

The cause of this war was the death of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI four years ago. He had no male heirs. According to the "Edict of State" promulgated by Charles VI in 1713, his eldest daughter Maria Theresa had the right to inherit the throne.

The various territories belonging to the Austrian Monarchy.

On the day she ascended the throne, Maria Theresa expressed that although she was only a woman, she had the heart of a king and she was confident that with the help of her ministers, she would maintain the integrity of the Austrian monarchy.

But the edict of Charles VI was just as useless as Tokugawa Ieyasu's oath.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi had his first son, Hideyori, when he was 57 years old. He was very eager for his son to inherit the world, so he asked the five elders, headed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the five elders to make an oath.

Even after his death, he would be loyal to Hideyori. Before his death, he held Tokugawa Ieyasu's hand tightly and expressed his gratitude to him with tears in his eyes.

But the final result was that after his death, the Toyotomi family was completely defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The same was true for Charles VI. His son died young and the Habsburg family almost fell into the same situation.

As a precaution, Charles VI formulated a state edict to ensure the inheritance rights of his eldest daughter Maria Theresa.

This edict was based on the indivisible territory and the eldest daughter's inheritance, that is, the recognition of female heirs. After Charles VI made great sacrifices, this edict was finally recognized by France, Britain, Prussia, Spain and other countries.

But after his death, the 23-year-old Theresa had just inherited the throne, and the surrounding countries began to make moves and covet Austria's territory.

The most egregious one among them was Frederick II. Without even declaring war, he suddenly led 30,000 soldiers to occupy the Austrian province of Silesia, which later became southern Poland. Subsequently, the eight-year Austrian succession

The bit war has begun.

Maria Theresa was fertile. Between the ages of 20 and 39, she kept pregnant and gave birth to a total of 5 boys and 11 girls, even during the 8-year Austrian War.

Although she continued to fight while raising her children, Silesia still fell into the hands of Prussia. Fortunately, with her superb political skills, the Habsburg family avoided the tragedy of the Toyotomi family.

But Maria Theresa hated Frederick II all her life, and here’s the reason!

His aunt would not allow him to interfere in this level of war, and he was happy to be at ease. In fact, although Russia was among the participating countries, its biggest role was only as a mediator.

Mediate between Austria and Prussia on the one hand, and Austria and France on the other, and gain their own interests in the mediation.

The result of this war was that the great powers recognized the province of Sicily acquired by Frederick II. Although Austria lost Sicily, Queen Theresa's rule was proved, and France returned the southern Netherlands to Austria.

For Theresa, she allowed the Habsburg state, which was in danger of subjugation, to finally survive as a great power. Although it suffered some losses, its administration and policies were injected with vitality, the number of troops was greatly increased, and morale was improved.

She was fully prepared for her later defeat in the Seven Years' War.

Peter couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he thought about the future outcome. It turned out that Peter's stab in the back caused Peter III to be scolded by France and Austria. If Peter hadn't died so quickly, Theresa might have written a special letter to humiliate and question him.

But after Peter died, he looked for his wife. When Yeka later wanted to carve up Poland, Theresa immediately jumped out to express her opposition.

No matter what, she would object to whatever the backstabbing guy wanted to do, and that was right.

Peter smiled slightly. Teresa is 27 years old and wears one of three petticoats. Is it reasonable to stab someone in the back?
