Chapter 79 What gift, bring it up

When two beautiful figures, one pink and one dark green, appeared in the corridor of the palace, everyone was stunned.

With completely different clothing styles, brisk steps, and elegant aristocratic temperament, who are these two young ladies who are radiating light?

When someone recognized Sophia and the maid beside the crown prince, they couldn't help but be surprised.

They looked so far that they forgot to salute Peter.

Behind Sofia and Vorontsova are boxes carried by the guards.

In this fashion, Sophia's radiance is stunning.

By this time the princesses had arrived, as had envoys from various countries in St. Petersburg.

When the Marquis de La Chatardier and Baron Madefield saw this scene, they were both stunned.

Is this still the little princess who follows her mother every step of the way?

There have been so many changes.

What made them even more ecstatic was Peter's attitude towards Sophia!

Following His Highness, the relationship is obviously unusual. Which princess has such treatment?

The two looked at each other, both excited.

Because they already knew from the Queen's letter to Johanna that the Queen was leaning toward Sophia, plus Her Highness's current behavior.

Undoubtedly, it revealed a message to them, the Crown Princess is very likely Sophia!

And once Sophia became the Crown Princess, Frederick would be overjoyed if the news was sent back.

Sofia is of German descent and can at least ease relations between Russia and Prussia.

If there was no Russian constraint and he was just facing Theresa of Austria, Frederick's pressure would be much reduced.

Just when the two of them were in high spirits, Peter stopped moving forward.

Because he suddenly heard the system prompt:

"Ding, a random mission has been triggered and completed, and you will receive the following rewards: lifelike fashion painting skills, and complete knowledge of Rococo style."

Peter felt a little surprised and then continued on.

The two main doors were not closed, and the guards did not stop them when they saw His Highness. When they saw Sofia and Vorontsova, they could not help but be stunned.

Peter motioned for the two of them to wait outside the temple, and he walked in alone.

"Dear aunt, are you busy?"

In addition to the maids, there were already several people standing in the Queen's palace, including the Duchess of Polya and Bishop Dev.

The two stood quietly on one side, while the aunt sat with a very calm posture.

That confident expression seemed to say, Peter, I know what you are here to do.

Casting stones to find the way, Peter did not take the ordinary path.

He walked up to her and pulled her up, gave her a strong bear hug, and then picked her up and spun her around twice.

This suddenly surprised the Duchess of Polya.

How can His Highness have such great strength with his physique?

And Bishop Dev was even more dumbfounded.

Is Peter so brave? That's the Queen!

"Why don't you put me down yet?"

Elizabeth saw that it was really shameful. Although she was a little surprised by her nephew's strength, she still looked majestic.

"Okay, Auntie!"

Peter immediately put it down and gave his aunt a thumbs up.

Then he restrained his excitement and said:

"Aunt, do you know why I came to you?"

Elizabeth laughed, adjusted her clothes and sat down again:

"Of course I do. Aren't you here just for Sophia's physical examination?"

Peter immediately said:

"Auntie, you said you were considering it last time. How did you think about it?"

Before Elizabeth could reply, Bishop Dev took a step forward and said:

"Your Majesty, it has always been a tradition for the Orthodox Church to conduct physical examinations for future candidates for the Crown Princess. Your Highness's move is very inappropriate."

It's not suitable for your sister. It's not suitable.

Is it appropriate for you to see my wife strip naked?

Peter sneered and whispered to his aunt.

Elizabeth couldn't help being surprised.

She lowered her face and asked:

"How did you know?"

Peter said:

"Aunt, I'll tell you how I know it later, but this kind of thing is easy to verify. You just need to send a trustworthy bishop to verify it again."

After listening to Peter's words, Bishop Dev suddenly had a bad feeling.

What does it mean to send another trustworthy bishop?

And test again? What to test again? Who to test again?

Dev thought of Luisa, and his face turned a little ugly.

Elizabeth instantly noticed Dev's change. She stared at Dev and said:

"Bishop Dev, the Orthodox Church has always been trusted by the royal family to check the selection of the crown princess. Do you think I should question this trust?"

"Or should I invite the Patriarch back and let him test it himself?"

Peter was surprised to find that his aunt showed a completely different side. This was no longer an aunt, but the majesty of a powerful empress.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck and stopped talking.

Bishop Dev was obviously frightened. His face turned blue and white and he collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, Elizabeth understood everything.

She said calmly:

"Polya, go check Princess Louisa's body!"

Duchess Polya's face tightened. Although the Queen's tone was calm, she could clearly hear the anger in it.

No one dares to deceive the Queen!

Princess Polya immediately bowed and left.

"Lock up Dev!!!"

"yes!"

The palace guards immediately took away Bishop Dev, who had been calm just a moment ago.

After everyone left, Elizabeth sat with a gloomy face, her chest rising and falling. Then she glanced at Peter and said:

"Weren't you quite able to speak just now? Why didn't you speak?"

Peter laughed dryly. He was just a person who told the truth. Auntie, don't be angry with him.

Then he said fawningly:

"Auntie, let me give you a shoulder squeeze."

Elizabeth said nothing, and Peter walked over and pinched her.

After pinching for a while, Peter said:

"Auntie, I brought you a gift, would you like to take a look?"

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. Peter had not given her any gifts except a Bible, uh... and a hymn.

While thinking about using Dev to attack Damu, he said calmly:

"What gift? Bring it up."
