Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

September 20, 1800, was the final wedding date, and all the invitations sent out received replies. The Tsar himself arranged the marriage, and although the prospects were unpredictable, the royal invitation still had to come, and it was very important in Paul's court.

There were indeed many guests in Gatchina, from the Imperial Village and from the city of Petersburg via Pavlovsk.

After meeting so many guests, Solovyov realized that the surname Kropotkin was also a prince?

The inheritance law in Russia is different from that in other countries. Regardless of the inheritance of property, as long as it is a legitimate son, everyone will have this title. It is no wonder that after Petersburg recognized the titles of some Tatars and Georgians, plus the prince title of Russia itself, princes and counts can be seen all over the streets, and barons are even more numerous.

However, Prince Yusupov's family is special. Their family has always had few male members, but it is shaky and has not been interrupted for several generations.

The "little fairy" was getting married, and her aunts were all coming to join in the fun. In addition to Potemkin's four favorite nieces, there were also some other aunts who usually didn't come, but they all prepared gifts this time.

Princess Yusupov was her youngest aunt. This lady was very beautiful, but she was always very simple.

But when her niece was getting married, she was also very generous, and the property she inherited from Potemkin was also huge.

"Come, Katish, this is for you, a ruby ​​necklace. We sisters like you the most. Since you are getting married, we hope you can be happy."

"Thank you, Aunt Tanya."

This ruby ​​necklace is even more conspicuous against her white dress and the soft silk wedding dress she wore.

"This is really beautiful, aunt, I remember that this was left to you by my uncle."

"Yes, every gem on it is carefully selected."

The countess jumped directly into her aunt's arms, but knocked the princess's wife off balance.

"You are not a child anymore, look at you, you are more beautiful than your mother!"

"Okay, Tanya, just spoil her, her future status will be almost the same as yours!"

"The princess of Georgia, well, this still needs the approval of His Majesty, after all, the title of prince of Georgia is only recognized in our country, but it has not been included in the ranks of our nobles."

"Yes." The countess also agreed, her daughter has now become a "foreign princess", although it will be recognized in a few years.

After her aunt gave her such a set of ruby ​​necklaces, the other two aunts, Varvara and Alexandra, also gave their most doted niece a treasure each.

Speaking of which, Varvara almost caused Prince Nikolai Volkonsky to lose his job, which was quite strange, because Prince Potemkin once wanted Varvara to be the prince's bride, but Prince Nikolai had a bad temper and said that this marriage was not suitable. In the end, he was promoted slowly for several years. He should have been promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief long ago, but he was not promoted until he became the governor.

What Solovyov found strange was that while there was this prince, there were always characters in the book, which could only be explained by Hegel's "existence is reasonable".

After all, the officer on duty today was Andrei. Although Solovyov had seen him many times, he had never spoken to him.

Another luxurious carriage entered the palace. This time it was the aunt of the "little fairy". These old sisters were here today to get together on the pretext of their children getting married.

"The countess's aunt is here today."

"Yes, Andrei, I should have helped both sides. But I am the duty officer today, and I have been exhausted these two days."

"It's not easy for you to be caught in the middle."

"That's true. How is your Excellency the Marshal these days?"

"My father and sister live in the manor in Smolensk. The countryside there is still very peaceful."

Soloviev still admires this old marshal very much, but he is very curious about the fact that the "King of Prussia" in the social scene and Tsar Paul who prefers the Prussian military system are incompatible in the end.

But he didn't ask much, just watched one carriage after another come to the Gatchina Palace.

When the ceremony is held in the church, these duty officers will be withdrawn. After all, the two majors guarding the door are also relatives and friends of the man in this marriage.

Soloviev is also a relative of the woman. He even thinks that he can only stand when he gets inside, after all, it is not appropriate to sit anywhere.

"That's what I think."

"You can learn from Cicero and sit in two seats."

"I think I can only sit in the middle, but I can't go to the stage yet."

"Do you want to be the witness?"

"I don't think so, and look at that girl, she looks so cute!"

When Solovyov was walking on the road, he saw a petite girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, walking on the edge of the lawn.

He was unconscious, always trying to match people around him, and he didn't notice who Miss Elizabeth Menina was.

But Andrei saw this petite girl, even though it was the first time he saw her, and he was refreshed after seeing her. It is indeed rare to see a girl who makes people happy like this.

Soloviev thought that he was attracted to the girl, but it was hard to say what would happen to her in the future.

"She is so beautiful, isn't she, Mikhail."

"If you like her, you can get to know her first. These girls nowadays are so terrible. I don't know when I should get married."

"If you want, you should be prepared."

He has not yet entered the plot, but he has met Lisa, the petite and lovely princess. This girl looks too thin, and a narrow pelvis can easily take the life of such a lovely girl.

But the "little fairy" doesn't have to worry, her little butt is very firm, and she is well-nourished and well-developed, but she is a little short.

Now she is wearing a white wedding dress and the gifts given to her by her aunts: including a ruby ​​necklace, a bracelet inlaid with sapphires and a pair of sapphire earrings, and she came to the stage like this.

When Bagration saw her, his resolute face was also moved by this delicate face. She came to the stage with a smile, and even the coldest heart would be melted by this warmth.

During the ceremony, after receiving the blessing of the priest and exchanging rings, the newlyweds now have to give each other a gift.

The "little fairy", who has now become the princess' wife, or the princess of Georgia, handed a precious sword inlaid with gems to Bagration, which was a treasure obtained by Potemkin from the Ottoman Empire during the Russo-Turkish War.

Bagration saw the sword and liked it very much. It was a sharp Damascus steel saber.

While still on the stage, he replaced his sword and hung this one around his waist.

"Thank you, Katish. This is a gift I prepared for you. I hope it can match your beautiful face."

Although Bagration looks like this, he is also a tough guy with a soft heart. Solovyov is now thinking about a problem, which is also a fatal problem raised by Langgeron. The difference between the couple is so great that they really don't want to lose the happiness that the Tsar and his wife hope they will get because of this difference.

The prince took the box from his brother Alexander and then opened it. Inside was a small crown inlaid with gemstones and diamonds, which looked very beautiful.

Any young girl would be moved when seeing such a crown, but it was no wonder that the "Queen of Spades" didn't like it. It didn't match her temperament, but it was very suitable for a girl like the "Little Fairy" who was not yet seventeen years old.

"Do you want to look in the mirror?"

However, the "Little Fairy" was showing it to her little cousin Ekaterina Potemkina, who was only twelve years old and was the daughter of her aunt's first marriage and her uncle Mikhail Potemkin.

"Do you think it looks good?"

They all called each other Ekaterina, and it was difficult to call each other by name.

"It looks good, cousin."

This child was honest. She was different from these cousins. To be honest, she had a crush on the son of a Swiss banker, and she didn't have the romantic history of her sisters. Instead, she had already started this relationship in letters and daily meetings.

"Thank you too, my dear husband."

Although the prince was a little ugly, she was quite satisfied with him after the matchmaking of relatives and friends in the past few days.

Although Bagration was like this, the wedding gift he prepared was also very much to her liking.

But she was still worried about one thing. After being frightened by her sister, even if Soloviev counseled her or the head maid repeatedly explained, she would always be a little worried.

Everyone had a great time at the banquet and dance that day.

Soloviev also noticed at the dance this time that Andrei went to find Miss Menina and they danced a dance.

In fact, you are such a Prince Andrei. Soloviev discovered that Andrei actually likes the same type of lively girls.

It's just that Lisa grew up in the social scene compared to Natasha. Such a lively and lovely girl is not very suitable for these serious soldiers. How far they will go depends on their future development.

Although Prince Bagration looked like a very majestic general, he also performed well at the ball.

He and his newlywed wife danced three dances in a row. The "little fairy" was reluctant at first, but now she feels very happy.

What she wants is to live a carefree life. How nice it would be to be happy like this forever?

After returning to the palace, the newlyweds, according to convention, will live together after becoming husband and wife.

Unlike those ignorant newlyweds who still need servants to "guide", Bagration is not young anymore and can guide his little wife.

"Peter, you have to be gentle with me. I feel scared."

"Why are you scared?"

"Besides the fact that you are a brave general, I am also afraid of pain."

"It doesn't matter, Katish, let's take a shower first. The hot water is ready. Wait until you are all clean and come back here. I don't think you need to be afraid. Life always has to face such times."

The "little fairy" was now going on with a brave face. Fortunately, she remembered what Louisa and a few good sisters said about what would happen. As for what Solovyov said, "Girls' bodies are still very strong", and the education of the maids, she finally washed herself and lay on the bed.

"Katish, why are you doing this?"

"Do you like the white silk covering my body?"

"Of course I like it, Katish, you are really a beauty, it is difficult to describe your beauty."

Bagration also poked his wife's slightly small belly, and the "little fairy" laughed "giggle", and the whole person was not as tense as before, and now he was relaxed.

"I thought you were a rough warrior before, but I didn't expect you to be so good at talking."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. You must also like young and handsome guys. But the monarch's order arranged us together. This has to be said to be a trick of fate. Because of your liveliness and cuteness, I like you."

The reluctance of the "little fairy" has dissipated at least this night, but the door must be opened with a battering ram. At this moment, I am still a little scared, and there are still more times of fear.

However, Bagration is not in a hurry, because there are too many girls in the palace who have sprained their feet recently. Before launching this "special military operation", he has to conduct a careful examination. Poking his wife's belly is just to make her happy. After the physical examination is correct, he asked the "little fairy" to set up the crane wing formation.

"If you feel uncomfortable, shout it out, and don't be too scared, relax a little."

However, he didn't expect that the tone of the "little fairy"'s wail would be high enough.

But we can also know that the other party is very inexperienced and needs to be taken care of. This girl really took good care of herself in the past.

His wife now feels that she is not that scary. It was her sister who frightened her before. This intimidation obviously worked a little, which made her very nervous for a while.

If you really compare them, this warrior with a muscular body is definitely better.

She is already a little exhausted. After all, this kind of attack and defense is not a drill. It is all real swords and guns. People who have never been on the battlefield will always worry about getting hurt.

"Well, you are not a 'new soldier' ​​now, Kadish, I will do my best to make you happy."
