Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 185 042 Going to Sweden is not just a trip abroad

Alexander thought Soloviev's ridicule was correct. King Gustav IV of Sweden was indeed an erratic fool who caused his family to suffer.

The letter that the Empress' grandmother wrote to his mother, now the Empress Dowager Maria, also made it very clear that even if the four daughters caught a fatal cold, they were just waiting there in vain.

Therefore, Alexander was somewhat worried about this brother-in-law. Who knows what stupid things he would do on a whim one day.

As for sending an officer out for reconnaissance, Soloviev went to Sweden to serve as a military attaché in Stockholm under the name of escorting the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the monarchs of the two countries. In fact, there were also many meetings arranged in it.

The coronation ceremony in Moscow had to be postponed to 1803. The delay of two years was also due to many considerations. Louisa still needed to take care of the children and take care of her body.

By the time she was able to get up, the baby was almost fully recovered when it was one month old. At this time, her parents and siblings had to leave, and only her eldest sister Amalia stayed with her. She was also arranged a blind date for someone Alexander thought was good, Polish Prince Adam Czartoryski, who was also one of the hot candidates for Russian Foreign Minister.

"I will miss you very much, Dad, Mom. When we get to Stockholm, we will see how Frederica is doing, and also see my nephew Gustav and niece Sofia."

"Of course, Louisa, we will see how she is doing when we get to Stockholm."

What Louisa didn't say was what the head lady Golovina said to her: "Alas, although her fate is brilliant, it has made her go through many tests, and the crown on her head is full of thorns."

She really has a deep feeling for her fourth sister. At the beginning, there was a possibility that the two sisters would marry the brothers Alexander and Constantine at the same time. In the end, the empress only chose the elder sister. Later, the wife chosen for Constantine was Juliana of Saxony, but she has now returned to her parents' home - the scene was once very embarrassing.

Frederica was also looking forward to the arrival of her family. In the summer, she gave birth to Princess Sofia of Sweden. During this period, her husband who loved her but was like a human teddy bear finally settled down a little, but he always had sudden ideas.

There is even another idea here, that is, after Frederica's parents arrive, her two sisters in St. Petersburg can meet in Finland after a while, or come to Stockholm, which is an opportunity to improve the relationship between Russia and Sweden.

But at this time, Alexander was really worried about his brother-in-law. If Alexandra's marriage had not been wasted for a few years, he might not have thought of sending military attachés to Sweden at this time to investigate some situations in Sweden.

Solovyov still had to go home to pack up his things. It would take a long time for him to come back after this long trip.

After all, when leaving the Tsar's office, the journey that Alexander asked him to take was not just to Stockholm. After completing the possible meeting between Louisa and the Swedish royal family there, he had to accept new tasks in Stockholm.

Because of this, he also had to consider the issue of expenses abroad. Fortunately, the chain company in Stockholm was exclusively operated under the name of the Queen of Sweden, and he could spend money from there.

Before leaving, Solovyov also wanted to see Louisa. Her body really needed "confinement" to recuperate. When the baby was one month old, she would be radiant and beautiful again, full of girlishness and some mature charm.

"Give this letter to my sister Frederica. If you need anything in Stockholm, I think she will help you. And you know how much I miss her. I wish I could get better and meet her and kiss her cheek."

"Your Highness, why are you blushing?"

Because the maids were present, he would not speak too freely, but the feelings between Louisa and the sisters were there, which was also a fact.

"I miss her. I haven't seen her for 8 years since I got married here. When I think of Frederica, I want to cry."

Louisa's tears really flowed down. You can imagine how good the relationship between the sisters is.

For princesses from the feudal family, this fate is like being a bird in a cage. It is no wonder that when Louisa talked about marriage with her parents, she suggested that her two younger sisters find a husband's family that would make them feel more relaxed and free.

Another problem is that Solovyov will also leave Louisa. She is better now than before. There are more girls who are close to her among the maids. She has also selected a few new people to join. The eldest sister Amalia also came to Petersburg and started her blind date plan.

With some people around her, Louisa did not feel lonely like before. She moved back to the Tavrid Palace, which she regarded as a nursery for raising children and her daily residence.

Although Alexander also allocated the Alexander Palace built by the Empress' grandmother to Louisa, it was in the Imperial Village and too close to Gatchina. Louisa always had her own personality and was unwilling to be caught in the middle of her mother-in-law. In addition, the Tavrid Palace near the Neva River was more conducive to her rest, and the scenery outside the window was also very beautiful.

Of course, Solovyov was also observing Louisa's physical condition and the movements of the Baden family. Carl Ludwig would not decide to leave until after the child was one month old, and he made preparations here the night before. , they were going to Stockholm by boat.

Before leaving Petersburg, Solovyov was not shy. He waited for Louisa's arrival in a wooden cabin next to the palace, where the two were going to have a secret date.

"Louisa"

"Mishka, I know you are going to Stockholm with a mission. I will miss you very much."

"Me too, your body is recovering well. I remember when we first got to know each other, you would always faint due to various reasons. Before that, you were often in a weak state."

"I'm much better now, and I want to thank you for prescribing medicine so that my complexion can be restored to what it is now."

"Don't eat too much of some things. Colloidal medicinal materials and health products are not easy to digest. Your stomach is weak, your heart and lungs are weak, and you have given birth to four children. I may be more worried than Your Majesty when I go out. you."

Louisa knew very well that Solovyov had been helping her consolidate her position. Russia was a paradise for adventurers, especially those who wanted to take the initiative to embrace the nobles in Petersburg, and the young and handsome Tsar himself. The woman he was interested in was Louisa, the young queen. As the royal palace, she was the only wife who could give birth to legitimate children for Alexander, but she also faced provocation from his mistress.

"Your Majesty treats me much better than before. I like you, but I can't get rid of the shackles of this golden birdcage. My destiny is to be imprisoned here forever, and it seems that I can't avoid my fate since I was born. Playing tricks.”

"I know, Luisa, you must take more care of yourself. You must discuss things with Natasha and the Headmistress. They are your friends, but the Headmistress may not keep secrets."

"Don't worry, what I have to do now is to raise the child. Can you let me kiss you before we say goodbye?"

After Louisa's health improved, she was much more enthusiastic than before when facing her husband and lover, and her mood was not so depressed.

"Of course, Luisa. One of the two girls has green eyes, like emeralds, as bright as your sapphire eyes."

"I know, is this God's arrangement, or what?"

"Perhaps it's fate again. The green color is different from mine. People always say that my eyes look like a little wolf."

Solovyov himself feels grateful that there is no such thing as "an eagle looking at a wolf". The color of his eyes is so special. With green eyes, it's hard not to have some thoughts of his own.

"Could it be"

"I also knew in those days that His Majesty was back. In other words, your suffering this time was the 'joint effect' of His Majesty and I, but only you and I know. I will come back, wait for me, I will return"

Solovyov never expected that he almost copied Simonov's poem, and he also needs to make a special statement that he and the Polish driver are close friends, and that driver respects his friend's family very much! Compared with the Moscow cobbler's nephew, he is already very dedicated.

"You have never composed your own poetry, so I thought you could give this to me."

But since Louisa was so proactive, he had no choice but to activate his copywriting skills.

"But you have to keep it a secret. This is a secret between us. I will always protect you. If there is any danger, as long as it is not an incurable disease, I will do my best when you are in danger."

As for kissing, the healthier Louisa is even more charming. The only thing Solovyov can maintain at this time is that his beloved young queen's body is still recovering. He doesn't want to be a beast and wear his clothes after a passionate kiss. Wearing a gray cloak, he left and disappeared into the woods of Tafrid Palace.

Although Louisa usually writes in German and French, her Russian is also very authentic. Even Russian vocabulary experts such as Princess Dashkova are full of praise for her language skills.

When she read this poem, Louisa's eyes became hazy again. Now her heart was torn in half by love. Even Mishka, the little brother, had a slightly heavier weight in her heart. Some.

Although he was not the first to arrive, he was the first to arrive, and he also considered himself more. He was not just a fanatical pursuer who was attracted by beauty.

However, Solovyov was still very serious at this time. He also reminded Louisa that excessive sadness would be very detrimental to her breastfeeding plan for the child, so she would have to invite more wet nurses later.

To think that he can still be so serious when he is passionately in love really makes people feel funny and make them laugh.

This made her feel a lot better, and the next morning, while the Baltic Sea had not yet frozen, a large Russian sailing ship set sail from Petersburg, passed Kotlin Island, entered the Gulf of Finland, and then headed to Sweden. capital.

For Solovyov, he does not know Swedish. French and German may be used more frequently.

These days, he is always with Louisa's only brother Karl, and they get along well. This young man has active thoughts and has some family education from the Margrave of Baden. The old Margrave himself is an economist and abolitionist. He had already thrown feudal serfdom into the garbage dump before the United States brought the barrel of the United States. The education his grandson and granddaughter received is indeed extraordinary.

Karl always pesters Solovyov, his "bodyguard", who is also a translator and pseudo-poet, to talk about everything.

"I didn't expect you to know so much. I thought you were just an ordinary attendant of my brother-in-law, the emperor, who was brave in battle. You are a treasure trove, with endless orange juice, although it's not polite to say so."

"But King Frederick is still very loyal to his friends and doesn't hide anything. But I am also interested in what kind of person your queen sister, the one in Sweden, is?"

"When I was ten years old, my sister was still discussing marriage with my brother-in-law in Stockholm. I didn't expect that sister Louisa had suffered such a big grievance. Frederica is very good. My sister likes music. When she sits in front of the piano and plays, she likes happy notes and can't stop. She likes Mozart and Haydn's music, but it doesn't seem like it."

He analyzed his fourth sister in this way, which made Soloviev feel magical. Louisa is probably the most precious treasure that Mr. Baden has educated for so many years, the most dazzling gem on the crown, and the knowledge she has learned is different from that of several sisters.

No wonder she wanted to be the wife of the de facto middle school principal, the wife of the headmaster of a girls' school, and the aunt of the kindergarten principal. She had to have more experience than her five sisters.

Karl was quite open-minded. After all, he was trained as an heir. The atmosphere in Baden was relatively free. His ideas were highly consistent with Alexander's in many aspects. Louisa also supported her husband's gradual reform and the introduction of new laws, but she could not interfere too much in politics. This seemed to have become a taboo in Russia at present. Except for the Empress Dowager, noble ladies rarely took the initiative to get involved in politics. Having a queen was enough.

As for the Swedish royal family, Gustav IV prepared a very grand reception ceremony for the arrival of his father-in-law. The whole city was busy and nervous.
