Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Speaking of which, during the time when Napoleon and Countess Valewska were having a hot affair, Eugene usually avoided them. Out of sight, out of mind. This may not have affected his mother's status, but this matter was very awkward.

Now he has come to Paris from Milan again, and he has also returned as the actual person in charge of the Kingdom of Italy. Since the emperor is getting married again, he can't avoid it.

Some time ago, he announced that his mother and stepfather were officially divorced, which was already a performance of considering the overall situation. After that, he rarely participated in some affairs.

However, there have been many troubles in recent years, and Eugene is also very troubled at home.

His mother's divorce is one thing, but her stepfather has a good relationship with her, and he still left Malmaison to her. In addition, there are a lot of jewelry and a large annual pension. Mr. Talleyrand would envy this money - after all, the emperor gave too much.

In addition, his sister has a lover outside. Although this is not uncommon, considering Louis's irritable personality and the fact that he contracted some minor but unspeakable illness in Egypt, this is not surprising.

Besides, except for the old lady and Elisa, everyone in Napoleon's family can cause trouble and bring a lot of strange troubles.

His sister was also unfortunately caught in this cycle, but now she lives in Paris with her two sons, which is quite comfortable.

It's just that Napoleon married a new wife, Eugene holds a position here, and has been in the army all the time, so he is not affected.

There may be more troubles in the court.

The story of Josephine and Paulina in the past has been enough to write a lot of space. Now that Catherine is here, it is hard to say whether Paulina will be jealous of this young new sister-in-law.

But judging from the fact that Catherine rode a horse into the city with Napoleon, Napoleon was very satisfied.

Such a wild girl is a rare breed in Western Europe, which is to his taste.

Even the new future queen, when she first appeared, let the citizens of Paris see the riding skills of the Russian princess.

Speaking of which, when Maria and Catherine rode horses in the palace, they had no problem riding like men, not just women, but also like men. It was just that it would affect their posture and legs.

Solovyov saw Durova pretending to walk like a man. If it weren't for the funny movements of the cavalry after dismounting, she would have been exposed long ago.

In addition, Catherine was different from her sisters who were all girls when they got married (including her sister Anna). She was a young woman.

In short, when verifying in bed, there are always some differences according to different physiological stages.

However, there is no problem with this kind of verification, and Alexander will not be so crazy as to push his sister down.

In this regard, Solovyov, who had been taking his stepsister around all day for a while, was the same. Alexander would make his own judgment on Adela's marriage after returning, and now they came to Paris as a family.

It's just that the relative to meet first is not Aunt Josephine.

Soloviev was too proud back then, so he had a child with Paulina, which also led to Paulina's strange inheritance system.

The eldest son Demid inherited the title and property of her late husband Leclerc, and the second son Giuseppe was recognized by the silver-plated Prince Borghese, but he inherited Paulina's own title of Guastalla.

Later, she gave birth to a younger son, Prince Camillo, who was Borghese's own child.

Although she was green on her head, Paulina always chose a healthy lover to accompany her, but she still had her own son. Looking at the three boys, they were indeed different.

However, the prince didn't care much about this. He lived with several mistresses in Rome.

To be honest, Soloviev didn't realize how much these people played until he arrived in Western Europe.

Compared with these people, Maria is too pure. Until now, she only dared to hold her arm or lean over to flirt.

This time in Europe, probably only the old lady of Napoleon's family was within the normal range.

But you can't avoid her when meeting relatives. After all, the old lady knows that she is Giuseppe's father. Silvia recently followed Paulina to the old lady's place, and brought her two daughters.

The scene can be said to be very lively, and it's good that only Paulina brought the children here.

Katya's heart is big enough, but Paulina didn't swear sovereignty. After all, the last one to come was the countess.

And speaking of it, Katya is also a decent prince's eldest daughter, and the situation is not the same as that of the Bonaparte family.

It's just that when the three children saw their father, the scene can be said to be very strange.

Only Octavia had an impression of her father, and she was the only one among all the children who enjoyed the treatment of a family of three. Even when she was in Rome, she was a little sensible.

She was not young anymore, and her feelings were a bit complicated. She just vaguely remembered that her father was a handsome man who took her around and then left.

She was also the oldest of all the Solovyov children, and she noticed it when she came to pay her respects.

There was always the most sensible girl in the family, and she also knew that it was her mother who finally gave up being with her father because of religious issues.

Katya never had hostility towards children, but for her, her husband's eldest illegitimate daughter was more like her sister.

As for Octavia being so good looking, it's hard not to like her.

However, she always hides behind Demid. These two little things have been raised together from childhood to now.

Well, Katya discovered the problem before Solovyov, but didn’t know how to tell her husband.

What Solovyov has to do now is to deal with Queen Letizia. After all, she is the hostess here and the grandma of the child.

"We are all members of our own family here, and there is no need to be so restrained. I know you are reluctant to come here, but whatever we have to do, we have to do what we are willing to do. My son is now the Emperor of France, and he is in Corsica. No one could think of it at the time. As for you, Count, what should you say?"

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, if we talk about it, it should be what happened in the Paoletta Residence. That time."

"That's right, I know what's going on with Giuseppe. Of course, even though Prince Camilo is my son-in-law, I don't like him. Charles is the one who is promising, but it's a pity that he got yellow Death from fever."

Leclerc, the old lady Letizia knows that it is her daughter who is ridiculous. She is the one who causes the most troubles among the three daughters, but she is not that much trouble. The younger daughter is the most troublesome one, even When her son was in Spain, was it her elbow?

At this time, I am afraid that no one knows France better than Napoleon, so my sister almost joined forces with several gentlemen and Murat to make a show.

If only the young man in front of me had been French.

It's just a pity that he is Russian and a relative of Josephine.

But the old lady also knew that the kid had some abilities, so she kept chatting with Solovyov.

Solovyov also found it strange that the old lady called his family here first today.

But this kind of greeting has to be carried out, it is a necessary condition.

Napoleon's wedding will include guests from various monarchies on the European continent later, so there is no rush.

On this trip to visit relatives, Solovyov has to spend the winter in Paris.

"General Leclerc is indeed unlucky. Tropical epidemics are also difficult to prevent. When I went to the West Indies, I also knew the local situation."

"But I see you are in good health, count."

"Probably because I am an adjutant and always have to run errands, which is not possible without a good body. What's more, Russia is very cold, and some places are not suitable for living in winter. Being able to spend the winter in France this year is also a good way to catch up with Ye Her Highness Katerina is getting married and coming to Paris."

"But you don't seem to agree."

"I don't agree, but can I be honest with you about Pauletta?"

In fact, the old lady Letizia is also interesting. She still likes young people who are capable and clear-minded. The eldest daughter is considered an honest person when she marries a general. The second daughter's first husband is very promising. The third daughter was really like this at first. It's better to use her to recruit Moreau

Prince Camilo and Solovyov, she prefers the latter. After all, he can do things and talk. The former is only slightly better than FW.

If Carolina had married Moreau, the palace fight scene might have been even more lively.

"Of course, we are all family members here."

Polina was far away on the other side, and Letizia only asked Solovyov to come close to her and not to speak too loudly.

"No matter who becomes the queen, Pauletta will never get along well with her, and His Majesty's ability is too strong. He himself may have mysterious confidence in his strength, which is not good. If he is still my uncle , I will naturally advise him face to face, but in this case, I can only tell you."

Unexpectedly, the old lady nodded and even motioned for him to continue.

"Earl, none of the women here care about men's politics and wars. Naturally, I don't understand these things. But I am worried about my son. You know his temper, so what should I do?"

"There is no good solution. Do you think this kind of life will continue?"

"I didn't go during the coronation, but Napoleon told me at that time that he hoped this day could last forever. But he was always fighting and never settled down, which made me even more worried. Thinking of him going When I was in Egypt, I was on the beach in Marseille watching to see if any ships could come back."

"If you say so, your concerns should be correct. I think if there is an arrangement, we should make some preparations in advance. No matter whether the future is good or bad, boys will always have to marry a wife, and girls will also need a dowry when they get married."

"Well, that's the truth."

The old lady also said that she would make arrangements. As for Polina who was always jealous of her sister-in-law, regardless of whether it was "Old Josephine" or someone else, Queen Letizia had nothing to do with it. She could only act as a mediator in the middle.

She had to prepare in advance because she was worried about her son's situation, but speaking of it, she wanted to have a good relationship with the Holy See so that she could provide a shelter for her family in Rome.

The situation in Spain is not optimistic either. Even the old lady who helps her daughter take care of her grandson knows this, and the younger daughter is very ambitious.

In short, such a family is quite strange.

When Solovyov finished talking, when he was about to turn around, he found that Katya and Polina were chatting very well.

Damn it, this girl seems to get along well with anyone, even the women she hates.

Polina, this heartless person, even touched Katya's belly and asked about her physical condition.

They looked very harmonious, but when Soloviev came over, Katya said: "Mishka, now, I think we can only divide the sphere of influence. You are mine for some days, and you are mine for some days. Although it is rash to say this, sister Polina also mentioned that she likes you very much."

Soloviev was confused by these words without a beginning or an end.

"What's wrong with liking me, Katya, you know, we came out to visit relatives this time, and..."

"You are mine tonight, do you know?"

Polina always unexpectedly declares sovereignty, which makes others a little embarrassed. Although Katya has already talked to her, her face is also flushed.

Sylvia was also a little embarrassed on the side. She didn't expect Polina to do this.

Katya was thinking, strange Corsican woman, if it was sister Julie, she wouldn't be like this.

Solovyov thought that his biggest trouble in Paris was probably Polina.

And this time Napoleon and Catherine were getting married. Although there was a celebration ceremony in Paris, they also had to make use of the Palace of Versailles, the "symbol of despotism" in the past. Part of the celebration and guest reception had to be held there. The Tuileries Palace was just the final ceremony site.

As for finding a priest, or a bishop, to witness the marriage, it was also a troublesome matter for Napoleon. After all, Russian princesses always had to maintain their beliefs.

So, he simply asked his uncle, the bishop, to be the officiant. He was a family member and a religious person, and then found a witness from the notary office to handle the formalities, and it would be done.

However, it had to wait until the wedding scene.

If it was an Austrian woman, Napoleon would have already started to consider the next strong move.

Because Catherine was a more intense girl, she was to his liking, so he was not in a hurry to get things done.

On the one hand, they had to entertain the guests, and on the other hand, they had to build momentum in Paris. In short, they had to put some pressure on the British and let them know that the alliance between France and Russia seemed to be very solid.

But it was hard to say what was inside. After all, Russia would not always endure the troubles brought by the continental blockade, especially the huge economic losses. (End of this chapter)
