Chapter 5: Here Comes Auntie
Bang!
The door to the hall was pushed open with force, and Empress Elizabeth burst in in grief.
"Yo, are they all there?"
The Empress majestically glanced at the few people present, especially Peter and his wife.
"Auntie, why don't you knock on the door..."
Peter asked, looking up with a big grin.
"That's right, I'll just say it."
The Empress glared at him fiercely.
"You! Peter. Fedorovich! β
The Empress, who was almost the same height as Peter, who was wearing shoes and was 174, pointed at his nose and shouted.
"It's getting more and more presumptuous! How dare you bring a bear to the palace? Do you think that if I say that you are not allowed to have dogs, you think you can raise a bear! Well? β
"Uh... That..."
Peter was sprayed a little confused.
"That aunt, ah, not Your Majesty... Actually, I've heard that black bears are more representative of the powerful Russian Empire, so that..."
"Who do you listen to! Well? β
"That's... That..."
"You have a wood and a brain! Besides, even if the bear represents the Russian Empire, you, as the crown prince, think you can keep a bear in the palace? What is the difference between you and the Tatars, the Ottomans, and the like? Wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous if this was spread outside? β
"Uh... I think... Traveling with a bear may be able to... Can appear stronger... Some" (strong also has the meaning of masculine / gentleman)
"Humph! That's to the point, if you had worked harder, you wouldn't be like this! β
Queen Elizabeth said in her heart, with your sissy nature, I really regret how I chose such a waste nephew as your heir in the first place...
In fact, our traverser Guo Zijing is also very bitter, he used to be a well-known honest man, but after the crossing, he became more cowardly and honest, but it is very suitable for Peter's character, so no one has found out that Peter in his body has already become someone else in the past few months.
"And you! Ekaterina. Alexeyevna! β
The Empress glared sharply at the woman beside Peter.
"As a woman and a crown princess, she doesn't practice etiquette all day long, but she has fun here like a man, and she still plays horseback and fights! Is this what a woman and wife should do?! β
"Your Majesty, I know it's wrong..."
Catherine quickly bowed her knees and apologized.
"Find out what your identity does! Don't make a mistake! β
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"Auntie, I'm against it"
Cold, Peter pouted.
"You-say-what-horse?!"
Queen Elizabeth yelled in her voice.
"Oh no, it's Your Majesty... Your Majesty, as the Empress, are you not doing this? Except it's not that..."
"Peter. Fedorovich! Let me confirm again, were you just saying against me? β
The Empress's eyes widened with rage, evidently out of anger.
"Ah no, no, not as you think, my majesty..."
"Then what do you mean! Well? β
The Empress trembled with anger and struggled to hold the golden scepter to stabilize her figure.
"I... I think... If you've been living in this palace, it's... You can't have children..."
"W-ββ?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Empress was so angry that she slammed her golden scepter on the floor.
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
Peter's words also startled Catherine, and she hurriedly bowed down to play the round.
β... Go on! I'd like to see what other reasons you can come up with! β
The Empress's chest rose and fell violently, apparently forcibly suppressing her emotions and anger.
"Okay, then I'll say it all"
Peter looked unconsciously complacent.
"I think I'm very nervous if I'm watched all day long, and even my husband and wife have to be peeked at and recorded!"
Peter paced back and forth, not to mention, it was annoying to watch.
"This tension is easy to be distracted, distraction will lead to low mood, as soon as the mood is low, the body will slack, the body will slack, the body is slack, that aspect is not easy to persevere, this can not be persevered..."
"Babble... There is something to say briefly! β
"Oh, you're always in such a hurry, I'm going to get to the point right away..."
Peter replied emotionally.
"This one can't hold on, that... You are also a person from the past, you must know that if the man's time is too short, the woman will not be easy to get excited, and then it will lead to not being able to conceive a child... Ah, don't be in a hurry to deny it, but please think about it, which strong male king in history is not a pile of children? For example, Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Tatars, has thousands of descendants, tell me about it, if he Genghis Khan is stared at and peeked at all day long, sleeping with the queen concubine or something, can he give birth to so many children? β
"You... Are you sure you said this after careful thinking and not on the spur of the moment? β
The Empress's eyes were as big as lamps, and she stared at Peter as if she were going to dissect him.
"Uh... At last... On the spur of the moment... Bar... I just wanted to implore you... Give me a day off, I... I want to go to Ukraine for a holiday."
"Humph! Just want to escape my grasp, don't you? β
"Oh no, it's not what you think..."
"And what else do you want? Do you want me to send you back to Holstein to become your King of Sweden! Well? β
"Oh, it's notβ"
Peter couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"Ukraine is the hometown of Count Ramozudsky, I want to go and see it, and besides, the weather there is warm, suitable for the growth of animals and plants, and I think it is more suitable for having children..."
β... Peter. FedoroviΔ, you're really impressing."
The Empress was rarely not angry, but her face was very gloomy, three points more terrible than when there was no lack of anger.
"If, no... Otherwise, you can go with Count Ramozudsky, and by the way, take me and Catherine with you..."
"I see... You should continue to play your horseback fighting! β
The Empress glared at Peter again.
"The bear..."
"What's the end of the bear? Is it a wolf? Is it an eagle? Or an elephant or a monkey! β
The Empress stopped what she was about to take and asked sharply without looking back.
"Since you don't allow me to keep any animals, can I raise people? I want to have an army of my own name, like my grandfather Peter the Great! β
Peter exclaimed.
"Gone!"
Empress Elizabeth ignored him and walked straight out of the hall door.
"Auntie, do you agree or not?"
...
Whew-
Seeing that the Empress was far away, Peter sat down on the ground and let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, it was just now..."
Seeing this, Catherine hurriedly walked over and squatted down with her skirt on her knees.
"It's okay, don't worry, as long as Ukraine is mentioned, my aunt will definitely not care anymore"
Peter held up a hand, and the woman took it in understanding.
"I didn't want to go to Ukraine, that kind of place... That's what the Tatars like."
