Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 316 018 Soloviev confessed to Louisa what he had done

In other words, in the Russian Guards, jokes were not as unscrupulous as in the lower groups. Otherwise, when Soloviev returned and became a colonel, someone would have told him about his status.

After all, at the level of colonel, in the army of this era, it was really within the scope of the master. If he went up one step, he would be a general.

However, it was still a bit difficult to go from colonel to general.

Of course, he couldn't joke anymore. Recently, Soloviev also discovered that the Tsar himself seemed to be very arrogant.

It was really strange to open champagne before the game even started.

But he couldn't listen to advice now, even from Louisa.

That's right, although Alexander was with his mistress most of the time, he would come back to discuss with Louisa when he encountered major events.

Soloviev knew the Tsar's current attitude from the look Louisa gave him.

As for what the emperor himself is doing. He is still rushing to carry out production activities and input data at his workstation, but the effect seems to be not ideal recently.

During the night shift, Louisa tried to make Alexander understand that their opponents are difficult to deal with.

But Alexander is too confident.

It seems that it is still difficult. If a war really breaks out this year, the defeat of the Russian army is basically laid in this atmosphere.

After all, there is a word "Dian", which means that the pit of your own grave has been dug.

Of course, among the Russian tsars, except Nicholas II, no one will dig a pit to bury him, and the coffin will be parked in the royal tomb of the church.

For the officers below, more training is required.

"Because of this, you refused to go back to be an aide-de-camp."

"Peter, I don't want to be an aide-de-camp. I'd rather be a regiment commander in the Guards than to hang around in the palace all day."

"Yes, you still want to make achievements. With your background, you have to rely on military merit to exchange for your future."

"What about you?"

"I'm still an aide-de-camp now. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Prince Peter has always been a senior attendant to the Tsar. There are many people with his qualifications in the Russian army. It is a common practice for nobles to lead a division or an army when they come out.

And nobles like Soloviev, who have a relatively low family background, either rely on military merit to exchange for their status, or go back to do business or become a squire. The highest record of their family's military rank now is probably his own colonel.

The grandfather who was almost beheaded by Peter the Great took the path of official business. He started to join the army from the previous generation. After four generations, the Soloviev family has only produced two generals (historical facts).

If the Dolgorukov family wanted to become generals and senior civil servants, basically there would be several people in each generation in each branch, so there is a big difference here.

There is no comparison here. People in their family all became generals at a young age, except for the era of Queen Anna. Because of the royal internal strife between Peter's line and Ivan's line, only Prince Krimsky, the grandfather of little Katya, did not delay his promotion because of his outstanding military achievements. The rest of the people were thankful that they were not directly sent back to the manor.

"It's far behind"

"You are talented, Misha. Compared with my brother Mishka, your brain is very active. You need to use your brain more to be a general."

Soloviev couldn't comment. After all, this person would be fooled by Napoleon in the future, and he also suffered from his shallowness.

As for these young fools in the Russian army, when they fought, they always fantasized that they were invincible. They were really brave on the battlefield, but the effect was just so-so.

If the foundation is not laid well, the Russian soldiers will be braver, otherwise they will be the same as the Austrians.

"So you are in the palace, I am afraid there are often maids."

"Ah, don't mention it, someone did write me a love letter. I am just curious, why don't you have anyone writing a love letter?"

"They admire you, and for me, they may be considered very good friends."

Some things really can't be said, Louisa will find him today, go to the Tauride Palace.

Alexander and Louisa always live in two separate palaces, and there is a distance between them. This is a bit strange, but the parties are still happy to do it.

This kind of tacit understanding is probably when it comes back to "night shift" and when it is in the Winter Palace, it is very clear what to do.

Knowing that they live their own lives.

It's just that this form is rather strange. Louisa and Alexander do have children, and she usually spends time with them, while Alexander and his Polish mistress and another litter of children are often together. This strange relationship is more like the Polish peregrine falcon.

Soloviev came to Louisa for a reason.

It is always more reassuring to ask him to give the children a lesson about horses than to ask those reckless hussars.

"Your Majesty, Soloviev is here by order."

"And congratulations on your promotion to colonel, Mr. Guards' youngest regimental commander."

It's just that the two of them talked like this, it seems like they deliberately set up an obstacle. Keeping distance is sometimes a rule in the court, although in the court of Petersburg, people often do not abide by it.

"Although it's just a casual remark by your majesty, it's also considered"

"Okay, I asked you to come here, and take the children to go horseback riding on this day off."

"For horseback riding lessons, we should find a cavalry officer."

"Those reckless bearded men are not as careful as you, and I know you are good at riding."

In this regard, when Paul was still there, he knew that he, an officer of the Guards Infantry, was not inferior to those cavalry officers when riding horses. This was also due to his advantage of being lighter, and horses did not like a giant to bend their backs.

That was a typical "heavy body", and Solovyov's set was also tested on the battlefield. He encountered the French cavalry several times. Although he did not fight with swords, he used carbines on horseback to knock the enemy off the horse, which also required excellent riding skills.

Of course, she helped Louisa take care of the children here, and she also mixed one of her own children among the five children.

This queen has always been very smart, and she also created opportunities for parent-child interaction for Solovyov here.

It's just strange to say that the scheming Polina gets along better with Solovyov. I don't know how such a small thing can be so cunning.

Svetlana, who is usually responsible for acting cute and acting, is not close to Solovyov. It's just that the child is not afraid of strangers, otherwise they have to keep a distance.

"Just like this, when riding sideways, you should pay attention to using the strength of your waist. If you take a dance class. Your Highness Maria, it's like this, very good."

The two older children can now ride on ponies by themselves, but the horses prepared for them today are all docile and good horses.

But you have to be careful, even women riding horses have had hunting accidents.

Therefore, when Solovyov came to take care of the second princess Maria, he was always very careful and asked her to hold the reins herself, and he had to support her back.

Louisa watched from the side. She knew that Solovyov had always been so responsible, even before he developed feelings with her.

To be honest, the Empress' choice of marriage was not suitable for her and Alexander, but she was lucky that there were always several people pursuing her here, and she finally chose the one who was willing to protect her silently behind her back.

Speaking of which, Czartoryski was too ostentatious, and recently a guard cavalry officer has been writing love letters to her.

But in terms of literary accomplishment, he is far behind this green-eyed colonel.

After all, when Solovyov wrote to her, he always handed it to her personally, and the letter was always accompanied by poems and beautiful short sentences.

Although this took advantage of his frequent responsibility for guarding the palace, he was more attentive and would not be so rash. The guards officers who came to pursue her were always very rash.

It was probably like this since the Empress' time, and everything that happened in the Petersburg Palace was very clear.

Solovyov came here to play with the children today. He was simply a family heirloom toy of the Romanov princesses.

So, he often accompanied the little girls of the previous generation to participate in various activities when he was on duty in the palace.

Now he is "Uncle Misha" to these children, but he still has to play with them. If he doesn't take into account that he has to fight abroad, there will be many battles to fight in the next ten years. I am afraid that he will always have such an embarrassing role in the Guards in Petersburg.

There is no way, who made him the best at coaxing children among the officers of the Guards? When these princesses cried when they were young, he was on duty in the palace, which was more useful than a nanny.

It is because of this additional skill that he often has the opportunity to interact with these members of the Russian royal family in the palace.

It's just that this kind of dad attribute has the most opportunities to interact with Louisa.

When these children are tired of playing, Solovyov will come back to accompany Louisa to drink tea here.

"Your Highness, you've been acting like an Englishman lately, always drinking black tea."

"There's nothing I can do about it. This is sent by the British ambassador, and it's all black tea from Ceylon."

"But Ceylon should be considered a colony of the Netherlands, and the British really like to occupy other people's territories."

"That's why I don't like them very much. I always feel that Your Majesty may suffer a loss if he goes out on this expedition."

"We can't say anything, you."

"By the way, there's no one else here, Misha, you can relax a little."

Speaking of which, Louisa, who likes to be alone, does always arrange a hidden place for herself. Sitting in this corner of the garden, it's hard for outsiders to find her unless they come over.

"I know, Louisa, you asked me to come here because you must have some ideas or worries."

"Misha, I shouldn't interfere, but I'm always worried, so I asked you to come. It's always dangerous on the battlefield."

"But I'm not like the past, when I was the battalion commander of the Pu Regiment, so I could always protect His Majesty. Now I'm the commander of the Guards Chasseur Regiment."

"That's the same. I'm worried about you. Of course, you can come to my place recently to take the children riding, and we can see each other more often."

"That's good. I'm also worried about going out this time. But Sveta, that child should be mine, right?"

"I think it's yours too. Although the eyes, His Majesty said they look like mine, they are like emeralds. Although they are slightly different from your eyes, there is no doubt about this."

While drinking tea, Louisa also heard Solovyov confess his experiences in Paris.

"But, Louisa, I'm not with you."

"This kind of thing must happen frequently among reckless people like you. It's just that you did it more covertly, and there's no need to be honest with me, because we can only have this kind of relationship. You will get married one day, and maybe I can choose a maid for you, who is from a higher family than you, but is also good at managing the household, doing things properly, and is also a good helper in social occasions."

"But if I go to the battlefield, bullets and shells are blind, and they won't turn around just because you are good-looking."

"I know what your father thinks, that's it, I know if you are going to get married."

"At least I have to go on this expedition, and I can come back and think about this matter. I always feel that this war will be very dangerous. If."

"If it's your family, I can tell His Majesty in the future to let your sisters come to the palace as maids."

Louisa always thinks very thoughtfully, and she also took out a silver pocket watch.

"Open it and have a look, Misha."

The miniature portrait in the pocket watch is of Louisa holding the twins.

"You have come to me these days. Sveta is your child. As a father, you should take better care of her. After you come back, you will be more skilled than when you were on duty in the palace. I think you and that Italian girl must have achieved results."

Soloviev was so shameless that he blushed in front of Louisa.

"It seems that what I said was right."

"I can confess to you that such a thing happened, and I have been with Madame Recamier recently."

"Ah, you are really a sentimental person, but there is one advantage, that is, compared with His Majesty, you are really emotional."

"But this also has advantages, such as getting some intelligence and understanding the relationship between the upper class in Paris. Even if this lady has recently been exiled to St. Petersburg, I can also know some of the situation there through her."

"It also gives you a reason to spend more time with the children. If you take good care of them, I will be very happy."

She is very open-minded, and she also knows that the guards who pursue her will not tell her their secrets so honestly. For example, the officers who pursue the queen may write passionate love letters to the noble ladies who are maids.
