I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 3 Peter's Marriage, Which Princess Should I Choose

The coup army successfully entered the second floor of the palace, arrested Anna Leopoldovna and Anton Ulrich, who were sleeping, and put them on the sleigh prepared in advance.

Elizabeth then ordered the soldiers to arrest the little emperor only after he woke up, so everyone stayed by Ivan VI's cradle until he woke up.

After Ivan VI woke up, he was frightened and cried by the scene in front of him. In the bedroom next door, his younger sister, Princess Ekaterina, who was only four months old, also fell out of bed and became deaf in both ears.

The entire Brunswick family was arrested and imprisoned, and the German influence in the Russian court was completely cut off.

In Peter's glance just now, Duke Vorontsov, Minister of General Affairs of the Privy Council, was ranked first.

The Privy Council is the supreme governing body of the empire, and the status of Duke Vorontsov is evident.

In addition to Duke Vorontsov, there are also Minister of Foreign Affairs Count Bestuzhev, Lieutenant General Apraksin, Royal Physician and Counselor Lestock.

They are ministers of the dragon, and Elizabeth's status has naturally risen after she ascended the throne.

Then, his eyes moved to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was beautiful since she was a child, and many foreign envoys who came to Russia noticed the beauty of the Russian princess.

Once as a girl, Elizabeth and her sister Anna Petrovna welcomed their father, Emperor Peter I, who had returned from abroad. The two sisters specially put on Spanish court dresses, which overwhelmed the European envoys present.

In 1732, at the grand banquet held to celebrate the enthronement of Empress Anna, the Russian nobles asked the envoys from various countries who came to congratulate them, which female distinguished guest who came to the banquet was the most beautiful, and the envoys all pointed to the 23-year-old Princess Elizabeth in unanimous agreement. .

Although 12 years have passed, Elizabeth is now 35 years old, but her charm still exists.

Elizabeth was wearing a large palace gown with orange shading and silver embroidery. The V-shaped pleats on the chest extended all the way to the waist, looking very unrestrained.

She wore a necklace of stunning gemstones on her neck, and a large sapphire hung on her chest, shining brightly.

At this time, my aunt was looking at me with unknown meaning, and the other ministers looked at me strangely.

Peter was about to speak when Elizabeth spoke, and she said flatly:

"Peter, sit down beside me, and I'm talking about you now."

There was no other way, Peter could only obey his orders before finding an opportunity to apologize to his aunt.

Immediately a court lady brought a stool and placed it next to Elizabeth.

Seeing that Elizabeth asked Peter to sit down beside her, the physician and counselor Lestock's slightly sarcastic gaze suddenly retracted a bit.

A few days ago, the story of Peter yelling at the Queen had spread throughout the court, and it was unexpected that there would be such treatment.

He could only sigh that the empress was really kind to the crown prince.

Peter sat down obediently, sitting upright, which surprised Elizabeth a little.

She saw the ministers and envoys trying to laugh at Peter just now, and somehow thought of her sister Anna, and couldn't help but feel sore.

My sister was already dead. After all, this was my sister's only son, so I slowed down and let him sit beside me.

She also expressed her attitude. She can dispose of Peter at will, but Peter is now the crown prince of the empire, and others cannot be slighted.

Elizabeth originally thought that Peter would come in and talk and leave as before, and maybe even laugh at her, but she didn't expect Peter to sit down obediently this time.

Moreover, she was sitting so straight without leaning directly on the back of the chair, which made Elizabeth take another look.

But then she withdrew her thoughts and asked the Minister of General Affairs, Prince Vorontsov:

"Duke, what's your opinion?"

Prince Vorontsov shook his head and said:
"Anyone can be the crown prince's fiancée, but not a German."

Elizabeth said:

"Even if he married a German fiancée, Frederick II would not have a chance. Prussia is on the rise, so let Europe panic."

Peter suddenly realized that this was obviously discussing his marriage.

It seemed that my aunt was very anxious for him to have a son, after which he would be sent to a convent.

But Peter, who is familiar with history, is not in a hurry. It will not be ten years before he really gives birth to a son, and his aunt will have to wait.

Then Elizabeth picked up the collected information on the princesses of various countries, picked up the magnifying glass and read:
"Princess of Poland, healthy complexion, normal Yuejing, hips..."

At this moment, Lieutenant General Apraksin laughed, and Elizabeth looked at him and said:
"51 centimeters, do you have any dissatisfaction, General."

Apraksin said:

"I'm fed up with Poles, although the girl is beautiful."

Elizabeth was stunned for a while, then the Minister of General Affairs, Prince Vorontsov said:
"Your Majesty, I recommend the Princess of Wales. Your father, Peter the Great, has considered marrying a British Crown Prince."

Apraksin immediately said:

"Let me mention the Princess of Denmark, Denmark is the old enemy of Prussia, and Princess Louisa has nothing..."

Before Apraksin could finish speaking, the imperial physician Lestock said:

"The Danish princess is old. She is 23 years old. I suggest marrying the French princess."

Elizabeth was a little displeased. She had already stated that she was optimistic about the German princess, but these people didn't mention a word, which made Elizabeth a little annoyed.

She pretended to exclaim and said:
"God, she's getting old at 23, what about me?"

Lestock stammered a little:

"You, you are different, you are His Majesty..."

Elizabeth restrained her expression and said lightly:
"I know who I am!"

During this process, it was discussed who Peter would marry, but no one asked Peter a word.

Peter couldn't help complaining in his heart, arranged marriage, completely arranged marriage!

Among these eminent persons was a foreigner named Lestock.

He is French, because he supported Elizabeth's coup that year, and benefited a lot after Elizabeth came to the throne.

Now he has held quite a few positions in the court, but Lestock has been in Russia for so many years, but he still has a bottle of perfume in his heart, and he has not become a Russian.

Peter, who had watched The Legend of Zhen Huan in his previous life, easily captured his aunt's micro-expressions.

If he marries the French princess again, it is obvious that the French power will grow in the court, which is what my aunt does not want to see.

My aunt would never want to see a second Brunswick in the court!
