Chapter Thirteen Aunt Looks Down on the Fund, Sophia Begins to Convert
Although he knew that judging from the effect of St. Andre's points, his aunt would not object, Peter still went to find his aunt.
Tell her about this.
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and the first question she asked was beyond Peter's expectation.
Elizabeth asked:
"Peter, do you need money badly?"
Peter was stunned.
How to answer this?
Who doesn’t need money?
But the question is, as the crown prince of Russia, does he really need money?
Peter said honestly:
"Aunt, I need it."
Elizabeth shook her head and sighed, holding Peter in her arms with pity, and said somewhat guiltily:
"If you need money, tell your aunt. My aunt has money."
Peter curled his lips, cursing in his heart.
Where did aunt's money come from?
It's nothing more than the treasury.
43 years ago, that is, in 1701, the Russian state's revenue was only 2.5 million rubles, and it only reached 8.5 million rubles 20 years ago. This was the result of Peter I's reform of taxation, mandatory household registration checks, and tax collection on a per capita basis.
Serf Heavy Mountain x3!
14 million is just the first step for him to establish himself in the country. There are many development possibilities in the first step, such as second-generation royal fashion, third-generation fashion, tea-drinking clothes, and even black silk suspenders. There will be many types.
Moreover, the royal family only supplies it, and anyone else who dares to do private business will be thrown into jail and punished with bankruptcy. Who dares to compete with the royal family for profit?
When the second step of his international focus is carried out, what will the national treasury be?
He named the Queen Elizabeth Foundation just to make his aunt look good.
It was to thank his aunt for awarding him the Order of Saint André.
This fund has been established. My aunt should be grateful and proud of her nephew.
But now, is Aunt looking down on this fund?
As a result, I asked, "Is he short of money?"
Peter wanted to say:
"Auntie, do you have long hair and short knowledge?"
But he still showed a respectful expression and said:
"Aunt, what you said is so good. I forgot to tell you that I am short of money. I am so short of money now."
Elizabeth showed a satisfied expression and said generously:
"Don't worry, when you and Sophia get engaged, your aunt will make you a grand duke and give you 300,000 rubles. You can spend it on whatever you want. Isn't that better?"
Peter said seriously:
"Auntie said yes, but auntie, I want the management rights of this fund."
Elizabeth couldn't help but smile and said:
"Okay, if you want it, aunt will give it to you, this child."
Peter: "..."
Is my aunt's IQ lowered due to being suppressed by ak?
…
After coming out of his aunt's place happily, Peter went to see Vorontsova and Vivian again, and the progress was almost the same.
After all, you are the one who is free. You can just dictate, but they have to write.
But for reasons of confidentiality, Peter could only find the two of them.
Then he teased little Vorontsova again, making her cry and threw her away from Vivian. Vivian quickly fed her and comforted her.
Day by day, the time for Sophia's conversion was approaching.
In order to convert the Crown Princess, Patriarch Adrian also rushed back.
At night, Peter and Sophia hugged each other and whispered. When night fell and the bedroom door closed, the two went to bed very early.
Sofia was lying on the bed learning Russian, and Peter would communicate with Sofia in German and French from time to time. They mastered both languages and mastered Russian together.
The two of them would talk to each other and talk to each other, then roll around, and Sophia would fall under the bed and let out an ouch.
Then the night gradually fell, and the dormitory gradually became quiet. They hugged each other, enjoying the silence of this moment, and their bodies were as close as their souls.
Sofia rubbed circles on Peter's chest and said softly:
"Your Highness, with you by my side, my heart is so peaceful and joyful, which I have never felt in Lutheranism."
Peter smiled and said:
"Then you might as well believe me."
Sophia stood up, a strand of silky hair hanging down, and she spoke tenderly:
"Your Highness, you are the faith in my heart, more important than the Lutheran Orthodox Church. Having you by my side is my greatest happiness!"
Listening to Sophia's words, Peter couldn't help but think of something:
He Yibai refines steel and turns it into softness around the fingers.
Liu Kun's original meaning was "Who would have thought that I, a tough guy, would be reduced to a weak position where I could be manipulated by others and unable to resist."
But in this situation, looking at Sophia's white and bright body, Peter felt that he was about to twist his fingers.
After stroking Sophia's body and looking into each other's eyes, Sophia rushed over to her, and the two of them were not ashamed.
Moon: "It's been a long time since I've lived..."
The next day, Sophia's conversion officially began.
The Queen sent someone to call Sophia to her room, and she was personally responsible for Sophia's dress.
Peter is waiting outside.
When the two came out, Peter saw that they were wearing exactly the same dress. In such a traditional and solemn occasion, they naturally wore traditional Russian clothes.
Both gowns are made of heavy scarlet taffeta, with silver embroidery on the seams.
The only difference between their clothes is that their aunt's dress is studded with brilliant diamonds, while Sofia's clothes are studded with necklaces and brooches gifted by her aunt.
Due to fasting, Sophia looked a little pale at this time. She only wore a white ribbon on her unpowdered hair, but she looked a little cute.
Elizabeth held Peter in one hand and Sophia in the other, walking through the corridors, with a long queue following behind the three of them.
Finally, the three of them reached the palace church, which was already packed with people.
Patriarch Adrian stood on the top podium and couldn't help but snorted slightly when he saw Peter.
During this time, he visited the diocese and spread the news about Peter's false preaching of the Holy Revelation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Everyone noticed it and said it was shameless and shameless.
Even the Tsarist Russian Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church who practiced asceticism on Mount Athos had not received the Holy Enlightenment. How could a Peter who had no respect for the Orthodox Church and dared to urinate in the house of the Patriarch?
Everyone is counting the time. It has been less than two years now and depends on how Peter will end up.
To the Patriarch's death gaze, Peter gave the light of Mary.
Adrian snorted and turned his head to look at Sophia.
Her dark chestnut hair and blue eyes look delicate and elegant against the scarlet dress.
Adrian was very satisfied when he saw the pale complexion that had been starved for three days.
This shows that this girl of German descent is still pious and fasting seriously.
Elizabeth and Peter stood aside, Johanna stood in the front row of the crowd, and Sophia knelt on the square cushion in the middle. Then, the lengthy initiation ceremony began.
Sophia's forehead, eyes, neck, throat, palms and palms were all smeared with ointment. After applying the oil, the oil was wiped off with cotton cloth.
Sophia knelt on the mat and recited in a firm and clear voice the creed she had just received.
