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

Chapter 50 Faranelli, Men and Women
"Hmph! The adulterer...uh..."

The secret room was not closed tightly, but it couldn't be opened from inside. Adelaide lay on the ground and looked out, while she was eating vodka in one hand and the pig and rabbit platter in the other.

Probably drunk, Adelaide blushed and babbled.

"Oh~ delicious~~!"

"Peter, although...although you locked me up, for the sake of the food, I'm sure you are my friend! Uuuuuuu~~"

Before the pig and rabbit platter was finished, Adelaide fell into a dreamland, smacking her mouth a few times from time to time, showing an intoxicated smile.

But that night, Peter did not draw the knife, the knife was only out of its sheath by 0.01 cm.

There is no way, there will be blood when you get out of your body, it will be a catastrophe!
Early the next morning, while Peter was still asleep, a piece of news radiated from St. Petersburg like flying.

Faranelli has come to Russia!
For a time, except for the serfs, no matter whether they were big nobles or small nobles, there was a sensation.

Who is Faranelli?

In 1600, opera was born in Florence and swept across Europe in an instant.

The main actors were castrated singers known as eunuchs, who drove the audience crazy and started their "era of eunuchs".

Without eunuchs, there would be no opera, which is a common perception of everyone.

But these castrated people were castrated neither because of politics nor because of torture, they were created purely for the pleasure of the ears.

The castration operation is performed on the teenagers before the voice change period, so that they can have the lung capacity and strong voice of adults while retaining the clear high pitch, forming the most beautiful voice.

Abandoning gender, retaining voice, everything is for the pursuit of beauty.

There are countless examples of deaths caused by failed operations. The vast majority of eunuchs are from the lower class, and the only exception is Faranelli.

Although he came from a poor background, he was a descendant of a minor nobleman.

At this time, Faranelli has already achieved fame and reputation. He has a wide range of three-and-a-half-tone scales, an amazing lung capacity that can be maintained for one minute, and his voice that can be changed freely and perfect skills all enable him to sing very gorgeous songs. song.

All the audience, whether big or small nobles or royal families, fell for him.

They will give a standing ovation after the song and shout:
"There is only one God, and there is only one Faranelli!"

Eight years ago, Faranelli was 32; now, he is 40.

He left the stage eight years ago to enter the Spanish court and began using music to treat Philip V, who was suffering from depression.

Now that the Austrian Succession War is going on, no one expected him to come to Russia.

For a while, St. Petersburg seemed to usher in a grand festival, and the usually deserted streets were full of crowds.

Even further away, upon hearing the news, local nobles from different provinces rushed to St. Petersburg, and the bumpy road was full of traffic.

Faranelli was invited to come to Russia, and he will definitely not leave in a few days, which makes people very excited.

The repertoire he sang and his attire will be brought back by the nobles to their respective manors after this climax, becoming a new fashion.

At this time, a man and a beautiful woman with a curvy figure were sitting on a carriage heading to St. Petersburg.

The two originally wanted to come to St. Petersburg to settle down, but they were overjoyed when they heard the news of Faranelli's arrival on the way.

"It was wonderful and an honor to hear Faranelli!"

The beautiful woman was very excited and authentic.

The man is also very happy, he has some knowledge of the international situation:
"I was very lucky this time. I didn't expect to be able to invite Faranelli. It seems that Her Majesty's mediation on the battlefield was very effective. Otherwise, the King of Spain would not have let him go."

Afterwards, the two looked at each other, both full of expectations. As an earl, the man can enter the court!
And in a manor, the news that Faranelli came to Russia did not cause any waves here.

For the Countess Roman, this is nothing compared to another thing——

Daughter's Baptism!
Although the baptism was in the afternoon, the manor began to be busy early in the morning. The wine-loving Earl Roman cleaned his mouth several times in succession.

After confirming the gifts for the Queen and Her Highness, the carriage was dispatched and headed towards the Holy Trinity Church.

The Holy Trinity Church is where the baptisms took place.

The ancient Moscow has a history of more than 800 years, while St. Petersburg is only 41 years old.

The Neva River flows quietly, with a flow path of 24 kilometers in St. Petersburg. Many tributaries pass through the city, dividing the city into islands of different sizes and shapes.

These islands witnessed the 21-year Great Northern War, witnessed Russia's victory over the Swedish power in Western Europe at that time, and witnessed the removal of defeated Sweden from the list of European powers.

The Peter and Paul Fortress is located on the right bank of the Neva River in the city center and was built as an outpost in the Northern War.

The entrance to the fortress is called Peter Gate, the walls are deep and thick, and the Holy Trinity Church is in the fortress.

At the most intense stage of the power struggle, Peter I summoned various ministers in the Holy Trinity Monastery, and fought with his half-sister Sophia Regent who was in the palace, and finally won.

After gaining control of the Baltic Sea in the Great Northern War, it was also here that the Privy Council officially awarded Peter I the "Emperor of All Russia" and "Father of the Motherland" in recognition of his great achievements in the Northern War.

On this day, Russia officially changed its name to the Russian Empire.

More than 400 years ago, Russia was a subsidiary of the Golden Horde, one of the four major khanates of the Mongolian Empire. It had just become an independent country under the leadership of Ivan IV more than 180 years ago, and in the hands of Peter the Great, it began to thriving...

As the morning light fell, Peter woke up from his deep sleep...
