I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Ekaterina?

Xia Ya's thoughts were flowing in her mind. In another time and space, there was also a person named Ekaterina, who was very similar to her in terms of time and experience.

However, Xia Ya had seen a portrait of Yekaterin in the past. She was a slightly stout woman, and the woman in front of her was completely different.

She is more beautiful.

However, Catherine was not famous for her beauty.

Maybe some people are unfamiliar with this name, but they must have heard what she said:

"If I live two hundred years, all Europe will lie at my feet."

叶卡捷琳娜·阿列克谢耶芙娜（1729年5月2日-1796年11月17日）

Known historically as Catherine II, and later generations as Catherine the Great, she was the twelfth czar of the Romanov dynasty of Russia, and the only one in the history of this country to be named "the great". of the queen.

As Char said, not all emperors can obtain the great emperor.

This is a title of praise for some great monarchs in history who have achieved outstanding political achievements.

"Da" is also one of the posthumous titles.

There are thousands of emperors in the history of the world, but there are only a few who can truly be called great emperors.

In the whole of Russia, there are only two people who can be called great emperors. One is Peter the Great who built this summer palace.

And the other one is Catherine II.

Peter was the founder who led Tsarist Russia to catch up with the West in science and technology and culture, giving Tsarist Russia the opportunity to rise, while Ekaterina was the executor who truly expanded Tsarist Russia.

The three partitions of Poland alone resulted in the acquisition of 46 square kilometers of territory, which is already as large as France. There are also Crimea, Lithuania, and Belarus, which dismembered the Ottoman Turkish Empire, captured Constantinople (briefly), and moved south to capture the three Caucasus countries.

During her reign, it can be said that Tsarist Russia was the period with the largest territory.

However, what many people don't know is that the life that this legendary queen lived before she became queen was actually not a good one.

It was a bumpy journey from Germany, and she came to this strange country with food and shelter, and even almost died young from pneumonia. But she survived all these, and relied on her wisdom to gain recognition from the Russians.

But it is a pity that her husband Peter does not love her at all and looks for a new love. The two have been married for five years and are actually separated.

Also because Catherine and Peter had not had children after five years of marriage, this made Queen Elizabeth very angry.

Under the hint of the head of the bodyguard, Catherine understood that if she did not give birth to an imperial heir for Queen Elizabeth, her position would not be secure.

Therefore, she stunned Peter III, which is also the origin of this child.

What happened later, just as Ekaterina said, her situation got worse.

"Where is your husband?" Xia Ya said.

"He doesn't care about the child." Ekaterina sneered, "That fool only knows how to indulge in his own world.

Moreover, because of this incident, he became more and more unreasonable towards me, thinking that I had defiled him. "

Xia Ya shrugged, "So... what are your plans for the future?"

"Intend?"

A little confusion flashed in Yekaterina's eyes.

But then, Xia Ya said, "You seem to have only three ways to go now."

Xia Ya raised his brush and continued to paint on the drawing board in front of him, while painting.

"The first is to continue to be the wife of the crown prince, and finally live and die with the crown prince. If it is true, as you said, that the crown prince's intelligence is problematic, then the future of this country can be almost clearly seen. dead end.

Don’t forget, you rely on Europe and Beichen.

The second is to submit to the situation and be arrested or deposed by the crown prince and sent to a monastery.

The third is to take initiative and decide your own destiny."

"Do you decide your own destiny?"

Yekaterina's eyes flashed with light, and she silently raised the black tea in her hand and took a sip.

"With Queen Elizabeth here, no one dares to act rashly."

After a pause, she seemed to realize something, and after a moment of silence she said.

"It seems that our conversation was a little deep."

Xia Ya couldn't deny it, "Maybe we can talk about other things, such as hobbies."

"Hobby?" Ekaterina shook her head, "I don't have any hobbies. If I have to say it, I can only read books now."

"This is also a hobby." Xia Ya said, "I also like to read books.

In my home, there is a large library, which collects a large number of books on history, politics, geography, etc., and even magic books. "

Ekaterina couldn't help laughing, "It seems like we have a common hobby."

They chatted for a while, ranging from life to hobbies, and from hobbies to some ideas.

Char is very talkative, which may be due to his sociological skills, and the literary literacy of Yekaterina, who is well-read, is also very similar to Char's.

It has been a long time since Ekaterina met someone who got along so well with her.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Ya silently took down the painting from the drawing board, finally walked towards Ekaterina and handed the painting to her.

"I'll give this to you. I hope it will be helpful to you."

Ekaterina was stunned for a moment, but then she saw the content on the painting.

That is a portrait of myself. The vivid hair around the eyes cannot be expressed without the most delicate characterization.

The eyes and face are also natural and decent, with thick eyelashes, each of which is carefully drawn and twisted freely, as if coming from under the skin, extremely lifelike.

The pure and tender pink nostrils on the tip of her nose are really lifelike. The lips are slightly pouty, from the rosy red lips to the fresh pink neck, everywhere is vivid skin instead of paint accumulation. If you look closely at the depression in your throat, you can feel the beating of your pulse.

Ekaterina was attracted by this painting at first sight. She had never seen such a lifelike transformation before. It was like the skills of Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance.

But what is different from me is that the person in the painting is more energetic, confident, and decent. His blue eyes like Lake Baikal are full of unabashed ambition, as if he contains thousands of troops, like a king who dominates the world. Queen.

She had never seen such momentum in Queen Isabel.

"this is me?"

"Power is the best beauty agent."

"You are excellent." Xia Ya's voice continued, "What you lack is just confidence.

If you want to break away from everything now and control your destiny in your own hands, this is your only choice. "

Ekaterina raised her head and looked at Xia, rays of sunlight shone on him through the gaps in the leaves, the silver-white hair roots were glowing with color, and there was a slight smile on his handsome face, blooming like a summer flower.

Like a sun.

Yekaterina did not look at the painter carefully just now. She had never thought that the painter would be so handsome, far more handsome than any man she had ever seen.

Her breathing was a little unsteady, and her eyes were a little absent-minded.

"you"

But then, movement from one side attracted their attention, as if someone came in from outside.

"Looks like I have to get out of here." Xia Ya smiled.

“I enjoyed chatting with you.

If you are stressed in the future, you can learn to draw, which can relieve stress very well.

So farewell. "

"I don't know your name yet," said Catherine.

"My name is Merlin."

"Merlin." Ekaterina silently remembered this name in her heart, "Can I see you again?"

"I am a casual traveler, but I should stay here for a while." Xia Ya said calmly, "See you again when we are destined."

At this time, the door to the courtyard of the palace finally opened, and several people walked out.

But when Ekaterina came back to her senses and looked at where Chara was just now, the painter had disappeared, and even the painter no longer existed, as if he had suddenly disappeared.

However, the painting in her hand proved that everything that just happened was real and not her fantasy.

Don't think too much about it. The protagonist has succubus blood and is so good. It's normal for others to behave like this, and it's in line with the plot.

All character relationships will serve the direction of the plot and the character's personality. It is impossible to say what kind of woman should be forced into a person like the protagonist.
