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

Chapter 99

Before he knew anything, he didn't force Johanna. His Highness was waiting outside, and now it was not the time to ask in detail, so Christian came out with the children.

Ekaterina wanted to follow, and Peter asked her to go back to rest. After all, the coronation will be held tomorrow when the two are engaged, and it will be very long. She really needs to recover after fasting for a few days.

"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work!"

Ekaterina smiled apologetically and gratefully.

Peter nodded slightly, and led the prince and his children to meet the queen.

Along the way, Peter introduced to the prince when he met some identities.

Then the prince met the queen, and after saluting, the queen didn't feel embarrassed at all to prevent the prince from watching the conversion ceremony, and the prince never mentioned it, and Peter smiled and remained silent.

Queen Elizabeth asked about the ages and interests of the two children, and after a few compliments, she glanced at Peter, and Peter asked the maids to take the two children out.

The banquet has already been eaten, and the prince thought that his wife had no intention of eating again, so he hesitated for a while and asked:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I feel that my wife is a little strange. Is there something about your Majesty and Your Highness who is abrupt about her?"

Peter was a little surprised. Is it so straightforward to believe in Lutheranism?
Then he shook his head and denied that this probably had something to do with the prince's military career. From his temperament and appearance, it can be seen that this is a self-disciplined upright and pious person to the extreme, and even his daily life will be very self-suffering.

For such a person, Peter declined to tell him about Johanna's arrangements.

After glancing at my aunt, I realized why my aunt didn't want to bring the prince to observe the conversion ceremony, and why she didn't let him come when Ekaterina came from afar to run for the crown prince.

This man is too pious to admit death.

Even if he was asked to dedicate himself to Lutheranism, he would not hesitate.

Regarding the prince's question, Queen Elizabeth smiled and said:

"It's just a little thing, if the prince is interested, just ask Peter."

Then the prince looked at Peter with pleading eyes.

Peter was a little speechless, and the prince asked him about trivial matters. Does this mean that the couple should go back to fight?
Apparently my aunt was angry, even though she had agreed to the proposal to make Johanna Queen of Sweden.

It was impossible for him to go against his aunt's wishes, so he said it slowly.

Christian couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then his face turned red, and he was so ashamed that he almost got into a crack in the ground.

Before leaving, he told Johanna not to get involved in politics, but he didn't expect that she not only got involved, but also did something like this, which made the whole family feel ashamed!
More importantly, how much does this affect the daughter?
Christian couldn't help being angry.

He then apologized in shame to Queen Elizabeth and Peter.

Peter supported the prince whose chest was heaving and his mood was fluctuating violently, and said a few soothing words, but it had no effect.

The prince quickly withdrew.

Looking at the back of the prince walking away faster and faster, Elizabeth couldn't help showing a smile, which happened to meet Peter's eyes.

Elizabeth didn't show restraint at all, she said lightly:
"You don't want to live in the current palace. Give it to the prince's family and let them make trouble. You and Ekaterina will move next door to me."

next door?

Peter froze for a moment and immediately wanted to refuse, moving to the aunt's next door to dry wool.

He is a newly married young couple, and he is so close to his aunt, it is not comfortable for his aunt to ignore him.

Peter just wanted to refuse, Queen Elizabeth said:

"Ok, deal."

Peter had to get up and leave.

Before returning to his palace, he heard the suppressed angry voice from next door. Peter shook his head and walked into his palace, only to see Ekaterina lying on the wall and eavesdropping.

The current walls are all made of wood. Due to technical reasons, some places are still not perfect, and the sound insulation is not very good.

Peter went over and pressed Ekaterina against the wall, lying on her back and listening.

How about the sound insulation of wood and human body? Try the effect.

Ekaterina was taken aback, but soon felt the familiar atmosphere, turned around a little embarrassedly, glanced at Peter, put her arms around his waist and lay down in her arms, with a tired face.

Peter walked away with Ekaterina in his arms and asked:

"Why don't you sleep?"

Ekaterina said: "Waiting for Your Highness."

Peter stroked her hair and said:

"I won't sleep here today, I will give it to your parents, and we will go to another place."

Ekaterina said a little strangely:
"The palace is so big. There are several side halls in one palace. The place where mother lives is enough for so many people. Why do you want to move?"

Peter said:
"My aunt ordered us to move next door to her."

Ekaterina was taken aback, a little reluctant, after all living so close to the empress, a little uncomfortable.

Peter smiled and said:
"My aunt ordered, I have no choice, let's go."

Ekaterina nodded, and told the maid to bring something to bring.

In fact, there are not too many. Every palace in the palace has maids to clean it, and they can live in it at any time.

The atmosphere over there may not be very friendly. The two did not inform the prince and his wife, but only ordered the maid to tell the truth if asked.

Then, the two came to a new place.

When he really came here, Peter realized that he was thinking too much.

This palace is more than double the size of the previous palace, enough to open several small theaters.

The two chose the side hall farthest from the queen's palace as their bedroom, and the distance between them was enough for the maid to run back and forth.

The coronation and engagement began early the next morning.

Peter had known for a long time that he would be crowned Grand Duke on this day and wield some power.

Served by a group of maids led by the Duchess of Polia, the two arrived at their aunt's palace neatly dressed.

Queen Elizabeth is wearing her crown and royal robes.

Then the two followed the queen out of the Kremlin Palace.

Queen Elizabeth walked under a canopy made of sterling silver. The huge and heavy canopy required eight strong guards to lift it up.

Peter and Catherine walked behind the queen, and behind them, followed the prince and his wife, the gathered courtiers, and prominent figures from the church and the Privy Council.

There was no trace of quarrel on the faces of the prince and his wife, probably because today is a big day, all of them were diluted.

The procession descended the famous red staircase, crossed the church square guarded by a regiment of guards, and then entered the Cathedral of the Assumption, where successive tsars held their coronations.

As soon as they entered the church, Elizabeth took Peter and Catherine by the hand and led them to the velvet-covered altar.

The altar is in the very center of the church, and tall beams stand on both sides of the altar.

Like Ekaterina's conversion, the engagement ceremony will be presided over by the Patriarch himself, and Queen Elizabeth personally helped Peter and Ekaterina exchange rings.

The pair of rings are both very large, one worth 1.4 rubles and the other 1.2 rubles.

1.4 rubles were worn by Peter, and 1.2 rubles were worn by Ekaterina.

The ceremony was long and cumbersome, and lasted for four hours. Peter had to drag Ekaterina to accept salutes from all the ministers and wives, and Johanna over there had to hug those wives and kept bowing down. bend over.

Peter and Ekaterina looked at each other, and they were much more relaxed in comparison.

Before the ceremony ended, Minister of General Affairs Vorontsov read out an imperial decree.

The title of Grand Duke Peter was conferred, the title of Grand Duchess was given to Ekaterina, and Ekaterina was awarded the title of "His Royal Highness".

Peter had no expression on his face, and bestowed the title of Her Royal Highness Ekaterina, which meant that Ekaterina also had the right to inherit the throne.
