Chapter 7 Being ridiculed wantonly, my aunt is furious
On the first day, while Peter, Vorontsova and the Countess were working on a literary project, they took time to meet their happy aunt.
Although my aunt came to the monastery to relax, she did not stop people from coming to see her.
As a result, there was an endless stream of palace ladies coming to see him.
And every lady looked at her aunt's fashion with admiration and asked which fashion master designed it. They also very much hoped to have this honor.
My aunt has a great sense of achievement in leading the trend, and is planning to hold a grand party when she returns to Moscow.
It was at this time that Peter met.
He easily obtained the monopoly of fashion design from his aunt.
In other words, from now on, fashion styles represented by my aunt can only be designed by him or others authorized by him.
Otherwise, we are going against Russia!
In Russia, who dares to go against the Queen and Crown Prince?
Once the first step is completed, the aunt cannot do the second step, and he has to rely on himself.
In this regard, Peter has not been slacking off since he was in the Moscow Palace. He, Countess Roman, and Vorontsova have been carrying out the work in secret.
Even Sophia didn't let her get involved.
He didn't deliberately target Sofia. When he was in Moscow, he discussed Voltaire with Sofia from time to time, and found that Sofia knew nothing about Voltaire now, and was not as clear-headed as Ye Er's period.
Coupled with the fact that the crown prince's status is stable and he will not seek death, Peter no longer has any doubts about Sophia.
So what if Sophia is the reincarnation of Ye Er, she is just more interesting to him.
There were other reasons for not involving Sophia, it was a surprise.
The next day passed peacefully.
Ekaterina Vorontsova cried once during the session, not because he made her cry.
On the third and fourth days, it was still calm. Johanna and her aunt were chatting and laughing happily.
On the fifth day, it seemed as if the clear sky suddenly became overcast, followed by lightning and thunder.
In the morning of this day, Peter and Vorontsova, the countess went about their business as usual, and at noon they stood in front of the window with Sofia, looking at the beautiful lawn below and the beautiful scenery in the distance.
When Sophia was amused by Peter and laughed from time to time, Lestock suddenly came in. He stood at the door and said to Peter and Sophia:
"Stop your fighting immediately!"
Then he turned to Sophia and said:
"You can go back and pack your luggage, you are going home soon!"
Lestock tried his best to hide his ecstasy.
He didn't expect that things would turn out to be such a big mess for Johanna.
Even if Louisa can't become the Crown Princess, Sofia, a German girl, can't even think about it!
Sophia couldn't help being surprised, and she quickly asked:
"What's going on?"
Lestock tried his best to hide it and said extremely seriously:
"You'll know!"
Then he left in a rage (ecstasy).
Sofia simply couldn't imagine what had happened. Even if he had a high position, it was unbelievable for Lestock to speak to the crown prince and crown princess in such an arrogant and rude tone.
Sophia was horrified.
She thought she was about to be sent back to Zerbst, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Peter looked at the direction Lestock was leaving. He was quite surprised that this experienced counselor spoke to him in this tone.
Johanna offended her aunt, but he didn't. Instead, he could trample Lestock to death at any time.
This only proves that Lestock was too happy and lost his temper.
He cared too much about the choice of the Crown Princess.
The countess and Vorontsova were alerted, and they came out to ask what happened. Peter smiled at them and said it was okay.
Then he comforted Sophia:
"As long as I'm here, it'll be okay."
Feeling the trembling of Sophia's body, Peter sighed and held her in his arms.
At this time, Elizabeth walked out from the opposite room, her eyes sparkling, and her cheeks turned red with rage. Johanna followed behind Elizabeth. Her former high spirits were no longer visible, and her eyes were filled with tears.
He looked frightened and helpless.
Peter patted Sophia on the shoulder and walked towards his aunt. While Lestock was gloating about his misfortune and everyone else was trembling, he took his aunt's hand and walked out.
Elizabeth was very angry!
In the past, when she was angry, the courtiers around her, male and female, except the Duchess of Polya, usually gave her a slap on the face.
Snap——
Snap——
Snap——
But at this time, her anger was blocked by her nephew.
Lestock was stunned. The queen was actually taken away by the crown prince?
How is this possible?
That's Peter!
Lestock turned around hurriedly, and with a bang, the door to the Queen's room was closed.
Lestock is unbelievable!
Johanna was also stunned.
She never expected that the plans of herself, the Marquis of Lachetadier, and Baron Madefield would all fall into the eyes of Bestudev, and he would even copy all the secret messages sent by herself and others.
She simply couldn't imagine what she would face.
Johanna burst into tears when she saw Sofia with tears in her eyes. Sofia didn't know all this.
She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged her daughter, sobbing.
Sophia became even more uneasy, feeling that everything was about to go away from her, and the sky seemed to be falling...
In the Queen's chamber, Elizabeth was very angry.
"Aunt, what happened? Lestock actually told Sophia to go back to Zerbst."
Peter asked.
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. Although she was angry, these letters did not show that Sophia was also involved in the slander and conspiracy against her.
She just wanted to vent.
Johanna was the person she took a fancy to. Johanna had often corresponded with her before she came to Russia. She had certain hopes and affection for Johanna.
And Sophia is even more important.
She was the crown princess she chose for her nephew from the beginning.
What happened made her even more angry at Sophia than Johanna.
And this kind of anger is not so much towards Sophia as it is towards my own failure in looking at people.
"Bestudev sent it, you can see for yourself!"
Elizabeth pointed at the 50 secret letters on the table and said angrily.
Peter stepped forward.
Many of them were opened, but some were not. Apparently my aunt was not in the mood to read them.
"Where's Bestudev?"
Peter asked casually.
Elizabeth said: "He has returned to Moscow."
Peter couldn't help but cursed the old fox. Knowing that it would arouse the Queen's anger, he lit the fire and ran away. As expected of him!
Then I read a few letters.
"Elizabeth is a lazy, extravagant woman. She changes her clothes four or five times a day, signs documents she hasn't read at all, and is getting plumper. It's really ridiculous..."
The one who ridiculed my aunt was the Marquis de La Châteaudiere.
Isn't it a good thing that my aunt is plump?
Peter felt that the Marquis de La Chatardier did not understand love.
"Don't worry, no matter Moscow or St. Petersburg, everything is under my sight. I salute you, your loyal servant Johanna."
Written by Johanna, it goes without saying to whom it is paid tribute to, Frederick II.
Although Sophia's father was a prince, he was once so poor that he had to serve in the Prussian army to earn money to support his family. Johanna could make sense of being so humble to the King of Prussia.
"Envoys from various countries were extremely concerned about who would become the crown prince. Empress Elizabeth went her own way. Whether it was bringing Crown Prince Peter to Russia or recognizing Princess Sofia as the crown princess, she did not correspond with Bestudev. Although Empress Elizabeth did not like other people,
Stutev, but trusting him, it was a tough battle..."
The words are pertinent, and this was written by Baron Madfield, the Prussian ambassador in St. Petersburg.
There were many more, and Peter picked out some to read. Although they were copied, they were all written by Johanna, Lachetadier, and Madefield.
The evidence is conclusive and the final word is final!
Bestudev didn't even have to wait here for the results. He returned to Moscow with peace of mind.
Peter pulled his aunt aside to sit down and said sincerely:
"Little mother, in my heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Your body curves are even inferior to those of the Virgin Mary!"
Elizabeth glared at Peter, but Peter smiled playfully and obviously didn't take it seriously.
Elizabeth couldn't help but said:
"Tell me what to do."
Peter said:
"Immediately expel the Marquis de La Châteaudiere and restrict Baron Madefield from leaving the country within six months. Johanna asked her to stay until after the wedding."
Elizabeth asked: "Where's Sophia?"
Peter smiled and said:
"Sofia greets you every day, and spends the rest of the time studying Russian seriously. She has hardly left my palace. Where can you find another such attentive crown prince?"
Elizabeth shook her head and said:
"I don't trust her anymore!"
Peter sighed, knowing that this problem was serious.
