Chapter 51 Adventure! Pray! Are you doing something?
Elizabeth once heard Peter apologize to her and say that he would draw a clear line with Frederick II in the future, but she didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that he was just talking.
But now that Peter could pray so devoutly, her heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
She was not only happy for her sister, but also happy for the future empire. At this moment, Elizabeth looked at Peter's back, and the happiness flowing in her heart almost burst.
'Peter, Auntie loves you!'
Elizabeth was so moved that she knelt down and prayed to the Virgin Mary.
Afterwards, all the palace ministers knelt down, and the Patriarch couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this scene.
Peter actually has such power of example?
You know, Peter almost pointed at him and scolded him before!
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the St. Andrew Medal points are 20!"
Peter was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Virgin Mary. Can he get 20 St. Andrew Medal points by praying?
Then what other fashion items does he transport? Wouldn't it be enough to make more trips?
Then I immediately felt something was wrong, and when I turned around,
cough……
He quickly calmed down, how could he have such improper thoughts in such a sacred place?
He is not someone who can't move when he sees a woman.
In order to confirm the current number of Saint Andre points, Peter immediately opened the panel and took a look:
…………
Name: Peter Fedorovich
Position: Imperial Crown Prince
…
Order of Saint Andrew Points: 63
…………
There were only 37 points left to reach 100. Peter was really overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances happened. I was originally planning to make a show, but I didn't expect this unexpected encounter.
Once it reaches 100, it is stable.
He hasn't even used fashion yet!
Fashion is a big killer for my aunt.
He knew that when his aunt was young, she liked to dress up as a man because she could put on men's trousers and highlight her naturally beautiful legs, because women's skirts were completely covered.
After the French Rococo style was introduced here, my aunt started to fashion one piece of clothing every day, leading Russian fashion.
As soon as the fashions arrived, Peter could already foresee a perfect future.
…
The royal family's prayer place is the Kazan icon of the Virgin Mary, but today is not considered a major festival or wartime difficulty. It is just a baptism of a girl.
Now there are so many people, the Queen is here, the Patriarch personally presides over it, and the important officials of the palace are also here. This is also because it is his first time to serve as godfather, so there is such a ceremony.
If you serve as godfather again, you only need to be in the prayer room in the palace with the other person's family and the person being baptized.
Because they were just here to look for the accident that happened to him, outside of these important palace officials, Count Roman, his wife, and their daughters were just standing pitifully on the outskirts.
When Peter finished his devout prayer and stood up, his aunt also finished her prayer, and everyone followed suit.
Then following the Queen and the Patriarch, Peter walked out. When passing Count Roman's family, Vorontsova whispered their identities. Peter glanced at the solemn and humble woman in front of him, smiled and nodded to her,
Countess Roman was immediately flattered.
Then at Peter's signal, Countess Roman followed him, which made the palace ministers look at her with suspicion.
What does Peter want to do if he only asks Countess Roman to follow him?
Baptizing a child only takes an hour at most, but the Queen instructed the Patriarch to do more than just baptize.
Everyone should pray first!
Peter saw the Orthodox prayer ceremony for the first time.
In his previous life, he visited St. Basil's Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption. The church is located at the south end of Red Square in the center of Moscow, next to the Kremlin Palace. It was built in 1560 under the order of Ivan the Great.
Its most striking appearance is the seven onion heads.
These seven onions also represent seven times of prayer.
The Holy Trinity Church located in the fortress can accommodate a thousand people, so people like them are naturally not a problem.
The Patriarch looked solemn and stood at the front, holding a Bible, facing everyone.
Standing below were the Queen, him, and Countess Roman, whom he asked to stand next to, holding the baby girl.
Other palace ministers stood behind.
Following their aunt, Princess Polya and Vorontsova, as well as Count Roman, stood at the back.
Adrian first gave Peter a warning look. There was no intention of causing trouble in Peter's eyes, which finally made him feel relieved for the time being.
Then he began to pray for the first time.
He first lit a candle and placed it on the candlestick, then began to pray. After praying once, he came down and made the sign of the cross on everyone's forehead with a pen dipped in divine oil.
First Elizabeth, then Peter, Countess Roman...
Go down in order.
To make the sign of the cross, whether there are 100 people, 500 people, or 5,000 people, they must make the sign once before the first process is completed.
After this process was completed, Adrian lit another candle and placed it on the candlestick. After praying, he came down and made the sign of the cross again on each person's forehead and the mouth of both hands.
Peter knew that the order in which the candles were placed corresponded to the high and low levels of the seven onions, and there was a certain relationship between cause and effect.
Adrian prayed for a long time and made the sign of the cross for a long time. A solemn and sacred atmosphere spread in the church, as if a god was really watching here.
Peter sighed inwardly. He was neither an atheist nor a theist in his previous life, but he couldn't explain the matter of time travel.
When he was a child in his previous life, his grandmother taught him not to be disrespectful to the gods in Taoist temples.
One time, he forgot and made a face at the statue. As a result, he was confused at that time, and he only regained consciousness after walking out.
When I grew up, my friend once went to burn incense with his wife and said something he didn't believe to her face. As a result, he couldn't move his hands and feet when he got home and had to lie down for a full week.
Peter also did not want to be disrespectful to the Virgin Mary. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of what might happen.
However, he didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity.
By the time Adrian prayed for the sixth time, three full hours had passed. Many ministers were tired from standing there, but Adrian was full of energy.
This small number of people didn't bother him at all. Just when he was satisfied with Peter's performance and was about to cross Peter's forehead for the last time, Peter suddenly shouted.
