Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 386 028 The palace scandal of the guards cavalry officer and the queen's maid

It seems that the Tavrid Palace is very quiet. It is now a high-end nursery. Louisa raised her children here and kept them away from the Winter Palace.

She couldn't stand the bustle there, and now she was pregnant. As for whose child she was pregnant, she probably knew.

At this time, she hoped that it was another girl, which would not cause trouble. Even Alexander said so when he held her.

Such a tsar also knew that he was different from his father. Before Queen Maria gave birth to Mikhail, Paul had only been intimate with his wife except for verifying whether she could have children. He didn't stop until the doctor mentioned the dangers of older mothers.

The two illegitimate daughters in the future were entrusted to Solovyov, a more trusted guards officer, to be sent to the manor near Petersburg.

Alexander also knew these things, and he also knew that he could not maintain a stable married life with his mother like his father, and that he would always find mistresses outside, which would inevitably lead to similar problems.

Louisa was educated, but relatively shy, and was not very adaptable to the luxurious life in Petersburg. She preferred the quiet environment of the Tavrid Palace, or summering in a villa near Peterhof Palace and the Royal Aquarium.

However, she was not close enough to Alexander. The young tsar himself liked to hang out outside, and relatively favored Maria Naryshkina, a Polish girl, and had other mistresses besides her.

In this way, it was inevitable that he would be stolen from his home.

Therefore, after Louisa spoke up, Alexander also expressed his tolerance. It didn't matter if it was a girl, but if it was a boy, he was not his blood, so he could live in another identity.

Anyway, because of the arrangement of Queen Mother Maria, Louisa appeared in the public eye, and her exposure was not much better than that of Alexander's younger sister, Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna.

She was so low-key that even the royal family would not know that the queen was pregnant again if they did not publicize it.

But there was one thing, that is, Alexander really wanted to know who this man who dared to flirt with Louisa was?

However, Soloviev did not visit the Tavrid Palace during this period. He was busy with work, especially collecting intelligence against Serbia, which was a lot of work.

So he not only did not come to the pregnant Louisa, whether he was summoned or sneaked here, he also did not go to Madame Recamier's salon for a while.

Therefore, even if Alexander, a sensitive guy, wanted to find some clues, it was unlikely to succeed.

Speaking of which, Louisa was also worried that her and Alexander's confession would affect Soloviev.

But Alexander did not directly ask who Louisa's lover was, but decided to investigate it himself, which was also a strange thing.

After all, this guy is also an actor, and his mind is not easy to guess.

In this situation, Louisa relaxed instead. After all, Solovyov was always careful, and sometimes he even sneaked into her palace quietly.

After all, he would not be discovered if he did not come here.

However, little Natalia has been a little absent-minded recently, and I don’t know what happened to her.

It turned out that Louisa liked her service very much, but in this case, she could only change the maid around her.

Little Katya was replaced. Louisa knew the idea of ​​the "old witch" and wanted to protect the girl. She even asked her to move her luggage directly. No matter which palace she lived in, she would have her suite.

After all, she was also the granddaughter of Prince Vasily Dolgorukov of Krymsky. She was born in a relatively noble family in her family, and it was reasonable for her to serve by her side.

And to be honest, when her niece became the queen in the future, Alexander II’s favorite mistress was from the same family as little Katya.

This happened later. Now little Katya is serving as a reading maid to Louisa. She is also the maid who reads newspapers to her. She is also there when she is combing her hair and dressing up, which makes other girls very jealous.

Who makes her the youngest and lively and cute?

Of course, this girl is also very well-behaved, and Louisa can see that she is also very well-mannered in etiquette.

"Katya, don't be like this all the time. It's not good for your health to be so tense."

"Your Highness, you have to understand my behavior. After all, I am your maid in the palace. When I am with you, I have to maintain this demeanor."

"Ah, if someone marries you in the future and is a soft-hearted person, he will probably be controlled by your rules."

"Not really. It's different in the palace than at home, Your Highness. If I have a husband in the future, I will love him wholeheartedly and take care of his daily life. It would be best if he is also an enterprising young man, not too far behind me in age."

If it is according to her, not only will the "old witch" fail to promote her son Sergei, but even Solovyov, who is ten years older than her, will hardly meet the standards.

Soloviev is good in every way, except that he is a little older.

Louisa has thought about this pairing, but when the two of them are together, they are more like brother and sister. Little Katya has a good relationship with Solovyov's sister Yulia, so it's no wonder that they automatically bring her sister's perspective.

As for motivated young people, Louisa found few.

When she was thinking about it, she leaned sideways on the sofa and stroked her belly. She was also thinking about this little villain. This time, she got it right. When she was alone in Sweden a few years ago, there was no movement at all.

Seeing her like this, little Katya was very smart, so she got the cushions and put them in place for Luisa.

Compared to the other maids arranged by the queen, this girl is the best at doing things. I don’t know how she learned how to do it.

If Louisa hadn't taken her with her everywhere, she might have become the most popular little sister, instead of being a little jealous now.

This also includes little Natalia. She has been in the palace recently, but her time on duty has been noticeably less.

The reason is simple, she is in love.

It's just that the other party's identity and purpose are somewhat strange.

Alexei Okhotnikov is still a fanatical suitor of the queen, but before that, in order to get in, he always had to find a suitable girl to introduce him.

As for this, he thought of the beautiful little Natalia. After all, she had been on duty with the queen for a long time.

However, due to the recent appearance of little Katya, Louisa also likes Princess Dolgorukova who understands etiquette and obeys the rules, but is still very lively under this surface.

Little Natalia is still a personal maid, but she spends less time with Louisa, which inevitably makes her feel a little lost.

At this time, the appearance of Okhotnikov can somewhat fill some of her emotional problems.

The general characteristics of the Guards Cavalry officers are that they are tall, strong and handsome, and because in Petersburg, everyone is very good at talking.

Therefore, under the sweet words, there are always girls who will fall here.

Louisa didn't know this yet. She was even taking a nap in the palace, while little Natalia was kissing the cavalry officer in a room on the other side of the Tafrid Palace.

As for the next steps, at least the ribbon that tied her skirt had been loosened, revealing her smooth and white back, which looked really beautiful paired with her slender neck.

"Alyosha, don't do this. Although this suite belongs to me, if the girls come over, especially those who don't know the rules, they are still new."

"Natasha, I just love you, and I hope you can understand what I am doing. You are so beautiful, just like Leda."

"So are you going to turn into a swan and come here? You bad guy."

As soon as Okhotnikov started chanting, little Natalia would fall quickly, and today her clothes were also untied.

"I love you so much, you angel."

As for what he is going to do now, it is clear that he is actually using little Natalia to establish relationships, and this girl, who has always been confused, has not noticed it until now. As for "Angel" or "Hermes" Okay, if you continue talking like this, it is obvious that she is going to deliver the news.

Little Natalia was already in love, and when Okhotnikov kissed her, she completely gave up her resistance, and the two of them fell on the sofa together.

Of course, Louisa and little Katya in the palace opposite didn't know what was happening in the high-end maid's suite at this time.

In the past, the maids around Louisa did not have very heavy duties, so they had more personal free time.

As for little Katya, her duty time has passed. Logically speaking, someone should take over. However, the other girls are either resting or have been assigned tasks today. In fact, they are at their posts. Or there are still relatively few that can be summoned.

Of course, Louisa also saw that little Katya wanted to take a nap. Even if this girl is full of energy and more responsible than other girls, you can't keep her by your side all the time. The queen's maids are generally more delicate. It's time to take a rest soon.

So, after thinking about it, Louisa finally spoke: "Katya, you can go and rest now."

"Your Highness the Queen, who will take over my duties?"

"Go over to the maid's suite and see who has free time now."

After this, little Katya knew what she should do, so she poured tea for Louisa, and she left the queen's suite and went to the maids' room.

The result is that today is an unlucky day. You can see from the register that Miss Bookholden, who was supposed to be on duty today, took leave. Little Natalia’s sisters are not in the palace today, and the Kuragina family Girl?

Little Katya knew that the family tradition of the Kuragin family was bad. Although Elena Alexeevna was much more virtuous than Pierre's wife with the same name, but this "Helen" and Her sister, Alexandra, was also difficult to explain at times.

What's more, they are not here today either.

Finally, she turned over and over again and finally saw little Natalia and Maria Lobanova-Rostovskaya. The latter was little Katya's recent best friend. Selfishly, she hoped that this Sister Martha fills in.

But the terrible thing is that today happened to coincide with her cycle. Little Katya opened her door and saw Sister Martha leaning there with a very uncomfortable look on her face.

So, she had to take care of her for a while, and let her feel comfortable before leaving.

Finally, it was Natalia who had always been the closest to Her Majesty the Queen before Katya came to the palace.

However, when she knocked on the door of the high-end maid's suite, she had already heard strange sounds inside.

Of course, the bold guys like the Guards Cavalry were always able to react quickly.

He jumped up from the sofa, just like completing a dry jump shot, and hid in the closet with the cooperation of Natalia.

In other words, Natalia had more clothes, so it was more convenient to hide them in the back.

When the door was opened, Katya saw Natalia, who was wearing very cool clothes, appear in front of her.

Speaking of which, this figure and smooth skin are still very enviable.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm changing clothes, you saw it, on the sofa."

"Do you want me to help you? It's not convenient to change clothes alone."

Although little Katya didn't think of that, she also saw a shining cavalry saber next to the sofa.

This aroused her suspicion, but there was no clear evidence.

There are girls who like to wield swords and guns, such as Her Highness Catherine.

Little Katya just lacks experience in this area. It took her a while to think that the princess was just playing with rapiers and revolvers, and would not take out the Guards' cavalry sabers or the Cossacks' "Chasik" to show off.

You know, there are still some requirements for Cossack sword dancing, and it takes long-term practice to form a skill reserve.

Otherwise, it is also common for the sword to fly.

In the case of little Natalia, little Katya reacted and there must be something wrong.

Although she was a stickler for rules, she was also quite smart and would not fall out with little Natalia. After all, this sister helped her a lot when she just became the queen's maid.

The rules of the Dolgorukov family, although there are always some weirdos or bad guys among the girls who are married and become mistresses in other people's homes, the family education should still be acceptable.

Therefore, little Katya did not point out this problem, and did not even want this sister to be unlucky.

How to tell Her Majesty the Queen has become a thorny problem.
