Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 35 035 Poles are sometimes sandbags who need to be beaten (Part 2)

Elena's evil idea looks like playing Monopoly on a European map.

As the referee, Solovyov was responsible for setting up the map and chips. He didn’t know how they played this 1935 thing here. Moreover, he forgot to ask questions and just looked at the face of the princess. .

He was stunned for a while and then felt that he seemed to be in trouble. Falling in love with the princess and the future empress of Russia was not a good thing. Anyway, many of the various incidents that occurred in these European courts revolved around the lovers of noble ladies. There was also a prince Golitsyn who had never been married in his life, and he was not like a certain Prince Kuragin who had many lovers but could not make up his mind. He and some British and The ancient Greeks should have had a common language.

Anyway, in this circle, you always have to be careful not to go astray.

Speaking of which, the princesses born in Baden became the Queen of Russia and the Queen of Sweden respectively, but the degree of unlucky of these two sisters should be said to be about the same. Although they have a distinguished status and are considered to be a model for young ladies, there are some other things. Questions will be discounted.

For example, Gustavus IV will know in the future that this guy is a humanoid Teddy. What's worse is that after the queen became pregnant, she became more like a player in the Kingdom Rush series. She couldn't control herself at all. She also changed the maids around the queen from unmarried girls to married ladies. I don't know if it was for them. The two of them are looking for fault.

If "Psyche" knew about it, she might be in even more pain. After all, the person who went to Stockholm to join this unfortunate marriage was not her sister-in-law, but her biological sister. No matter what, the degree of harm would be extremely high.

Of course, the princess was taking off her shoes and sitting on the mat brought by the servant. She also noticed Solovyov standing behind Elena. She had seen this captain in Gatchina. The winner of the competition, the rifles and pistols he made were both toys that his husband could not put down. Even now that it was winter, he took his servants out hunting - probably only for hunting birds.

This captain is a bit interesting. He was looking at me just now, and now he is pretending not to see him. He acts like he is on duty, or he is Elena's personal adjutant. This kind of young aristocratic officer who is not very active is actually Not the same as those noble people before.

If Solovyov met Count Platon Zubov and learned about his ridiculous pursuit of the 15-year-old Grand Duchess three years ago, it should be said that this guy is a Hentai and death master, and he is now He was finally kicked out of the court by Paul, with some personal grudges involved.

Even though the "little goblin" is so seducing, even the Guards officers couldn't hold on to her for long periods of time. Solovyov is still seeing her every week, but he has never been tempted. It feels like, in the end, the Crown Princess broke her guard on the spot, and he had to pretend that nothing happened. Maybe he really likes this kind of poor well-educated lady type.

This is a dangerous sign. Of course, Elena is still waiting for any of her sisters to have time to play together, and her sister-in-law cannot be the only one here.

Then, as expected, there were always three sisters. The second sister-in-law was unwilling to participate in the game of these girls on the map. Moreover, Grand Duke Constantine was a bit strange at this age. He was more like a father than his eldest brother, liked military training more, and would have been even better on the Prussian side.

He was not enthusiastic about the wife he brought home from Saxony, which was unfortunate enough. The empress and her son were each embarrassed in one aspect, that is, the empress assigned her grandson a good marriage, but then always encountered accidents; Paul and her son were very embarrassed. The marriage arranged by his queen for the children was not bad. At least his daughter-in-law had to consider the feelings of her daughters no matter how she valued the interests of her parents' family.

Konstantin locked his daughter-in-law, who was known as the "Star of the Night Sky", in the palace, the same palace Solovyov had been to. In this room in the Winter Palace, Elena could find her own The second sister-in-law is a strange thing.

Of course, the four unmarried archduchess were chattering now. They were sitting around the sister-in-law, as if they were having a tea party.

The servants around Elena did prepare tea sets. They were all custom-made high-end goods. From a style point of view, they were still the style passed down from the Louis XV era. The main thing was good looks, and practicality was secondary. , which is what these noble ladies like.

If it were their father, His Majesty Tsar Paul, it would be fine just to get him an enamel teapot to drink boiled water from.

Solovyov had such a small theater in his mind. He thought about Paul holding an enamel teapot with the word "Award" on it and drinking boiled water. Fortunately, he had received training and would not just do this. Laugh out loud.

This scene is so touching, and as for the enamel tea jar, Europe really already has cast iron enamel technology. Why don't you give it a try?

But this idea was interrupted by Elena. The Grand Duchess had never heard that she liked playing cards. Anyway, she just took a bunch of chips like this. What on earth was she going to do?

She asked the servant to serve tea to Solovyov and the two other officers of the general regiment who were not on duty. She also added sugar and prepared jam, which was very thoughtful.

She couldn't confirm whether the officers could speak French, but at least they were all Russian, which was more convenient. When the grand duchesses' sisters-in-law spoke Russian, you couldn't hear the German accent, and their voices were also very pleasant.

No wonder Czartoryski and Soloviev both fell. It was just that the Polish prince was more convenient. He was Alexander's close friend, and like Alexander, he always liked to hook up with his friends' wives.

As for Soloviev, he just felt that the crown princess was really pitiful and cute, but the only person who dared to speak up for her in Russia was Pushkin, who wrote a poem and published it in the newspaper to express his sympathy from the time she married to Russia until her death on the way back.

And if he was given a chance, he didn't have the courage now, so he was thankful that he was not thrown into the swamp near Petersburg.

And she and the Saxon princess were really a pair of unlucky sisters-in-law. One was attacked and suppressed by the evil mother-in-law without any fault, and the other was even worse, almost turning into "don't talk to strangers".

At least Alexander is handsome, and he is sweet-mouthed when he wants to please a lady, including his wife.

Now Elena is going to announce the rules. It is probably a kind of "king" where the girls will play the role of "king". They will choose the starting position, and then determine the order by rolling the dice, and put their own logos on the watercolor pieces.

Well, Elena, if there is a "coloring game" by Swedish stupid donkey, you may like it, but that is more than 200 years later.

As for the referees and "advisors", these three officers have to help them put their own soldier models on the picture. Maybe someone just had a sudden whim, or maybe they were inspired by watching a real-life chess performance.

What Solovyov feared came true. Alexandra held Ekaterina in her arms. The two of them were in a group. Maria and Elena each chose a Guards officer as an assistant.

Your Highness, you can't play like this. Are you playing a prank or wanting to kill me? ——Soloviev thought so.

However, the Crown Princess was extremely lucky when playing games.

"Ah, I drew Russia, and it has 200,000 troops and a Mr. Inventor."

"I am happy to serve you, Your Highness, but my stuff cannot be used here."

This also includes a bunch of plans that were shelved because he was called to the palace and could not sit at home to think about the problem, such as the twenty boxes of grenades he always needed.

However, the Crown Princess started with three dice of 556, and then aimed at a piece of land between Maria, who played "Sultana", and her. Alexandra and Catherine are Britain, and Elena is Austria.

"Monsieur, please put a cavalry in Bucharest."

Soloviev found Bucharest from a pile of cards spread on the map. But seeing this, he thought of Romania's oil, because it is very shallow from the surface, and the drivers there already use natural oil as lubricant.

Maybe it's a good material for Molotov cocktails. Besides, in the Caucasus, the oil fields in Baku have started to ooze out asphalt, which is also a shallow location. Get a Molotov in advance, but don't let any stupid soldiers set themselves on fire.

In the future, people from the Nobel family will come to mine that place.

It's the Swedes again. Solovyov's mind is now full of stupid donkeys. How many donkeys can be made?

As for Maria, she was the next to start. Then she announced that she had occupied the other side of the Danube, and it seemed that she was going to confront her sister-in-law.

In fact, it turned into a dice rolling game. Anyway, the one with the higher score wins.

However, they were still "playing house" after all. After playing for a while, no one went to occupy Poland. Instead, they chose some places to plant flags. After a long time, no one wanted to start a war first.

After all, they were sisters, playing to kill time, so they occupied a large area.

What Solovyov was more curious about was whether Elena was also hit by the flower pot? Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of such a way of playing.

However, judging from her performance, it should be no. After all, you are playing Austria, and you can let Poland exist for so many rounds, just grabbing territory in Italy and southern HRE.

Finally, it was the Crown Princess's turn. She finally couldn't hold back and asked Soloviev to place an infantry in Vilnius.

The highlight always began. Soloviev was next to the Crown Princess and smelled her almond perfume. His brain was a little off. He suddenly asked a question, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"Your Highness, this is Poland. I saw the Polish prince in the corridor."

This was a precise step on the thunder, but Louisa, who has always been gentle and cowardly, said so.

"It's better for that gentleman not to appear here in the future. I found a book about the history of Poland and Sweden today."

Then she took the occasion into consideration and swallowed back half of the sentence. In short, her attitude was very clear, that is, Prince Czartoryski, who was a little annoying to her. It's better for him not to appear in her room in the future, otherwise he might cause trouble.

As for Poland and Sweden, they were the two unlucky ones that Russia traditionally used to score points and replenish blood. They were the two that were thwarted the most in the past, and even lost a large area of ​​their territory.

The Polish prince left in a hurry, probably because he stepped on a landmine.

As for Vilnius, one step ahead is Königsberg.

"Your Highness, this is a very suitable route to march, and you can run all the way to Berlin."

After crossing the Elbe River, it is not far from Baden and Württemberg. Seeing this, Soloviev thought of another question. The Queen is not really a bad person. Is this the reason why she overly targeted the Crown Princess?

After all, they are all neighboring countries. The daughter-in-law who married to Russia is an enemy in the same industry.

The Queen does not need to consider this, because her status and identity are all there.

On the map, this is not enough for Louisa to vent her anger. She saw a card of Magdeburg near the Elbe River, and her hometown Karlsruhe was nearby. Then she was touched by the scene again.

This girl has been missing home since she arrived in St. Petersburg. She doesn't care about the current situation on the map and just stares blankly there.

Seeing that her sister-in-law has begun to march into Poland, Elena finally remembered that I am playing Austria! In the next round, she entered Krakow. After all, Poland cannot be left on the map. This should be the basic quality of a German or Russian politician. After all, there is such a nasty small country at the door with the Vistula River crossing it, and it must be eliminated.

"Your Highness, it can be said that there is no Poland. Is it the next step to occupy Finland as well?"

Soloviev made a final test. Since there is "no Poland" now, it should be confirmed that the "inside ghost" who traveled through time is him.

However, although the Crown Princess was usually bullied, she was not asked to participate in political activities. But when she sat next to the map, she still understood the current international situation better than a few children.

Anyway, if everything goes well, she will be the future queen of Russia, although this position is awkward, and she will be attacked from multiple directions, so she can only hide in the garden and library to avoid these troubles. When she has to attend occasions, she must consider other people's feelings and get along well with others.

When Alexander came back from hunting, he heard about Czartoryski's incident. In order to maintain the face of his wife and close friends, he proposed to the Tsar that his friend should go out to engage in diplomatic work and serve as an ambassador to "gild" and accumulate experience.

Then, Czartoryski was ordered to go to Portugal. Paul had long been unhappy with this kid being too close to his son, so he just stayed away to prevent these Poles from getting too close and causing trouble.

If the mission lasted long enough, Alexander might not have to worry about the scandal of "Little Poland next door".
