Peter has no mercy at all, and he will punish the disobedient naughty children severely, even the French princess.
Moreover, he was still feeling sulky in his heart.
She was annoyed by her aunt and told Adelaide to be honest and to look for trouble.
She bumped into him. If he didn't slap her, who would he slap?
"Ugh...I don't dare to do it anymore, you...please spare me..."
After being slapped a few times, Adelaide began to beg for mercy.
"Do you still dare to do it in the future?"
"No...I don't dare anymore..."
Adelaide looked at Peter with some fear.
Suddenly I felt an unknown emotion arise.
This emotion... feels sour and numb...
it's wired.
At this moment, a maid came in and reported:
"Your Highness, Countess Roman is here."
Peter was stunned for a moment, what was Count Roman doing here at this time?
Immediately he realized that he was here to say hello.
This countess is very sensible, because she has become her daughter's godfather, and she currently only has such a goddaughter, so she is very flattering to herself.
She not only said hello to herself, but also to her aunt.
So far, my aunt has hugged the little guy several times, which is considered a favor.
Peter said:
"Let her in."
Ignoring Adelaide's widened eyes, Peter met Countess Roman here.
The countess, dressed in fine clothes, came in with her maid, and was surprised.
She first saluted Peter, and then asked doubtfully:
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Peter said calmly:
"The maid is disobedient and is being taught a lesson."
Then he handed the whip to her hand:
"Try a whipping, it feels good."
Countess:…
Adelaide:……
Both of them are not well.
Well, since it is His Highness's order.
"Snapped--"
Adelaide almost cried.
If I had known earlier, she wouldn't have run away.
It's so embarrassing now.
The noble princess was actually beaten by a countess.
Word spread that she could no longer be an adult.
Peter was very satisfied with the countess's obedience, but when he saw the maid holding little Vorontsova, Peter waved his hand, warned Adelaide, and asked Vorontsova to put her down, and then took the count with him.
The lady and the little angel walked towards the side hall.
The Countess is a beautiful and gentle woman who speaks softly and has a soft voice.
Peter couldn't help but sigh, what a pity.
Such a good woman will die in two years.
Poor little angel, how sad it is to lose her mother.
Peter was full of patience for such a person, which made Vivian once again feel that His Highness is such a great person!
After teasing little Vorontsova for a while, Peter sent the happy Vivian out, and they were going to see their aunt.
At this time, seeing His Highness standing at the door, a guard came over in a hurry, approached him and whispered in a low voice.
Peter looked strange.
The present Sophia August, the future Catherine the Great recorded in history, and her mother Johanna, arrived...
Moreover, the guard told him that the news of the arrival of the German princess had been spread to the palace.
Obviously, my aunt also knew.
Louisa was the "first" to arrive, Sofia was the second.
Peter still showed some curiosity and respect for this unofficial crown prince and famous people in history.
He straightened his clothes and asked the guards to lead the way, and he followed.
Vorontsova asked several maids to take care of Adelaide, and she followed.
…
Even at night, the palace looks magnificent, and the light barely casts a shadow in any place.
There were well-dressed male and female guests standing on both sides of the aisle. The lowest ones here were all earls, which made the scene look solemn.
At this moment, their eyes were all focused on one place.
A mother and daughter.
Johanna and Sofia from the Principality of Anhalt-Zerbst.
Although there were still so many people's attention, the same magnificent palace, and because the Queen was here, the atmosphere was more solemn, Sofia's performance was actually better than in St. Petersburg.
On the contrary, Johanna began to feel a little restrained.
After all, in St. Petersburg, the level of officials is not high, and the others are also envoys from various countries, so she can handle them with ease.
But here, this is the political center, and Johanna's heart can't help but beat fast when she thinks that the ruler of the entire Russian empire, Empress Elizabeth, is there.
especially……
She also has a special mission.
At this moment, the mother and daughter saw the guests standing on both sides began to bow to one person.
They also said:
"Your Highness, stay safe!"
A young man strode forward in the light of the fire, his body full of luxury, and Sofia was vaguely stunned.
When she was ten years old, her mother took her to Holstein and met little Peter once.
But at that time, little Peter was short, frail, and looked sickly. Once upon a time, after not seeing him for several years, he seemed to have become a different person.
Although his face could not be said to be too handsome, his unobtrusive aura, steady steps, and noble and gentlemanly gestures made Sophia's heart skip a beat as she got closer and closer, and she began to become nervous.
As Peter walked, he looked at the princesses in front of him.
According to the time he knew, Johanna was 32 years old this year. Although she was already in her fourth year, she could still tell that she was a beauty when she was young.
And Sophia.
Although he still doesn't have that sharp aura that can last forever, his whole look and temperament already have a somewhat different charm.
Peter became alert.
Ye Er's intention to watch the two lovers duel became even more determined.
There can only be one time traveler!
Although the thoughts in his mind were spinning, Peter did not stop at all. He walked to the mother and daughter. Johanna and Sofia immediately saluted Peter:
"Your Highness, be safe..."
"My aunt and I feel extremely honored that you two have come from afar and are allowed to introduce Her Majesty the Empress of Russia to them."
Peter laughed heartily and showed his gentlemanly demeanor while being enthusiastic, which immediately made the two princesses feel like a spring breeze.
He kissed the backs of Johanna's and Sofia's hands respectively, and then stretched out his arms.
Johanna immediately put her arm around her.
Then Peter looked at the nearest Duchess, who immediately stepped forward and stretched out her arms.
Sophia took her arm with the duchess and followed Peter into the palace.
Although the princess came from afar, Elizabeth is the queen, so there is no reason to welcome her in person.
Walking behind Peter, Sofia couldn't help but look at Peter secretly, her pure blue eyes filled with a dreamy color.
