"Your Highness, don't be in such a hurry! Like a child~"

"I'm only 24 years old, and I'm a normal man, children can't be so hard, okay?"

In the bedroom, Peter held a court maid from behind, his hands up and down.

Pregnant in October, Peter can't stand it for so long as a young and normal man, not to mention that he has nothing to worry about, so...

Bang bang bang!

There was a sharp knock on the door, untimely.

"Let's Ignore Him"

"I hate it, Your Highness~"

Bang bang bang!

"Hey, why are there so many straps on your skirt! It's a hassle to unravel... Why don't you just do it?"

"Your Highness is necrotic~How can there be such a hard thing~"

Bang bang!

"Your Highness! Peter. Grand Duke Fedorovich! ”

It was Mirkovsky's voice.

"Please get up quickly, Your Highness! Empress Elizabeth has summoned you urgently! ”

Bang bang!

“... Shh

"But Your Highness..."

"Lao Tzu is about to lift the earth, who has time to take care of her!"

Bang bang!

"Your Highness! If you don't open the door again, I'll have the guards smash it open!" ”

“...”

"Hey! Come here, a few of you! Open this door! ”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"I'm wiping it! He's really smashing! ”

Peter had already cursed and whipped Mirkovsky ten thousand times in his heart.

"Huh? Who is it? It's noisy in the middle of the night! ”

"Your Highness! Please don't pretend to be asleep! Open the door now! ”

Bang dang!

"What the hell is going on? It's the middle of the night..."

Peter, dressed in his pajamas, yawned sleepily.

"Your Highness, please come with me immediately!"

The tall Mirkovsky said loudly in a tone that absolutely could not be compromised.

From the direction of the visit, it is not the residence or office of Queen Elizabeth, could it be...

Counting the time, it is now late February, and it is mostly related to Catherine.

Sure enough, after turning a hallway, Peter heard the heart-rending howls of women from afar.

"God forbid... What a terrible sound."

Peter rolled his eyes helplessly, then made a cross.

"Auntie, it's been the middle of the night..."

"Sit back and watch! Your baby is about to be born! ”

As soon as he entered the house, Queen Elizabeth glared at him, and then scolded him twice.

"Oh..."

Peter sat down in a chair beside the Empress.

Through the blue French screen modeled after the Oriental style, Peter could vaguely see seven or eight maids walking back and forth around the bed, occasionally carrying basins and pouring water, and the midwife encouraged Catherine to cheer hard.

It is said that the great pain caused by childbirth can be called a punishment that directly tears the human body, and it is even more terrifying than Ling Chi. Listening to this heart-rending cry, Peter was on the verge of breaking down. In later hospitals, there was a rule that husbands had to accompany their wives to give birth, and Peter was glad that he had not had such a terrible experience.

"Oh my God... God bless Russia ...

Elizabeth. Petrovna, the first empress who ruled over a vast land of more than 15 million square kilometers, also had some spasms at the moment, holding Razumovsky's palms with both hands and muttering incessantly.

Time passed minute by minute, but Catherine's howl did not diminish for a moment.

"Another pot of hot water! Fast! ”

The midwife urged loudly.

"Do you need to eat something? It makes my stomach so uncomfortable..."

Peter glanced at the Empress, whose face was as pale as Catherine's.

"Shut up, you! Just sit down! ”

“... Yawn—"

Tick tick –

The clock against the wall rang incessantly, but the sound was completely muffled by the howl.

Wow - Wow -

It was nearly 6 o'clock in the morning when the sound of a baby's cry finally woke Peter, who was drowsy.

"Born, born! It's a boy! ”

A maid exclaimed happily.

"Great! The Russian Empire has an heir! ”

Empress Elizabeth excitedly stood up and ran towards the screen.

"Bring it to me!"

After the umbilical cord was cut, the newborn baby was wrapped in a thick towel and presented to the Empress.

"God forbid! That's great! ”

Empress Elizabeth took the baby in her arms, glanced at Razumovsky with satisfaction, and turned to go out.

Peter rubbed his eyes vigorously and got up to see what his child looked like.

Ahh

"That's not right! It's twins! Go get a few more pots of hot water and towels! ”

The midwife, who was sitting on the edge of the bed resting, exclaimed.

"What? Twins? How so? ”

The empress was about to announce the good news to the whole court, but when she heard the call, her expression froze, and she stopped again.

"Huh? Are they really twins? ”

Peter muttered to himself in amazement.

Wow - Wow -

It was almost twelve o'clock, and after a morning of torture, the second baby was born.

"Your Majesty, it's a girl!"

"A man and a woman? It's okay, God forbid! ”

Empress Elizabeth dragged a tired look at her body and drew a cross on her body.

"Huh? Dragon and phoenix fetus? ”

Peter yawned and pouted.

"There is no dispute, the elder brother will be the heir to the Russian Empire!"

The empress picked up the freshly fed baby boy and rushed out.

"Get on your knees! Get down on your knees! The future emperor of the Russian Empire was born! ”

Empress Elizabeth walked through the corridor with the baby boy in her arms, and all the palace guards and maids hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed to the empress.

"Whew—next..."

On the other side, Peter peeked through the gap in the screen with bloodshot sour eyes.

I saw that Catherine on the bed was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans on her face and forehead, and the maids were busy cleaning up her things, and no one thought to help her wipe her body.

"Hey! Go make a cup of hot chocolate! ”

Although he didn't have any relevant experience, Peter did come from later generations, at least knowing that pregnant women would be extremely weak after giving birth and needed to quickly replenish nutrients and calories, and chocolate met these needs at the same time.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern... It's been much better."

With a cup of hot chocolate, Catherine's pale cheeks finally regained some blood.

"Your Highness... What about our children? I want to see the kids."

Catherine grabbed Peter's hand with one hand and tried to sit up with the other on the bed.

"Bring the baby here! By the way, first serve the crown princess to change into clean clothes, and by the way, change all the beds"

Peter ordered Mirkovsky, who was waiting on the side.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and prepare new clean sheets and pillows! Stupid and stupid, I don't have any eyesight at all! What do you eat? ”

Seeing that several maids were still tidying up the clutter in the room, Peter angrily scolded.

"Yes, yes, we'll replace it!"

The maids were so frightened that they quickly bowed their knees and apologized.

"Stupid and unscrupulous, I don't have any eyesight! What do you eat? ”

"Okay, okay, don't blame them too much..."

Seeing that Peter was still muttering, Catherine took his hand and comforted.

"It's all you, you're usually too spoiled by them, and they all think they're princesses, kicking your nose in the face, you have to give a lesson to taste, or you will never have a long memory!"

"Yes, yes... It's my fault, Your Highness, so don't you bother with them, okay? ”

"You've been tired for a long time, just rest later, it's dangerous to get sick at this time"

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I'm so lucky to be His Highness's wife"

Catherine lay tenderly on Peter's arm.

"Come on, look at your daughter, see how cute she is"

"It's so cute, like an angel~"

Peter placed the baby girl next to the pillow so that Catherine could see her daughter sideways.

"It's so fun to have a small mouth~ Oh, by the way, is she hungry? I can breastfeed! ”

"The nurse has already fed, don't worry, don't be too tired"

"Oh, that's good. Come, Sophia, let mommy hug."

"Go, find a craftsman to make a little bell that you can hang next to your bed. Also, make a wind chime that can turn and swing, that is, the kind where several metal pipes of different lengths collide with each other to make a pleasant sound, do you know what I said? ”

"Uh... Understood"

Mirkovsky's brow furrowed slightly.

"Also, go to the small theater and bring the shakers"

Peter asked for the toys that his parents would prepare in the baby's room.

It's a pity that Mozart shouldn't have spoken at this time, or Lao Tzu would have played Mozart's tunes to the baby, which is said to improve intelligence.

"By the way, I remember... And what about a child? ”

Ekaterina shook her daughter in her arms and teased her, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, that... My brother was taken away by my aunt."

"Is it a boy? I want to see the kid, oh oh, do you know Sophia, you still have an older brother oh, the brother is only a few hours older than you~"

"That's... You don't think you can see it lately."

"Huh? What's missing? ”

Catherine didn't seem to react, and was still holding the baby girl intimately.

"The aunt has already declared the boy the heir to the future emperor of Russia, so ..."

Peter bowed his head with some guilt.

"So? Your Highness, tell me quickly, what the hell is going on? ”

"Alas... This is what I told you before, once the heir is born, your and my tasks will be completed, and the rest will have nothing to do with you and me, and everything on the future growth of the heir will be handled by my aunt..."

"What? How can this be! No, I'm going to see the Empress now! ”

Wow - Wow - Wow -

Catherine was so frightened that her hand suddenly became so strong that the baby girl burst into tears.

"Oh oh good, it's my mother who is not good, don't cry, okay? Oh oh good boy~"

Wow - Wow - Wow -

"In a short period of time, this daughter is the life talisman of you and me, if my brother encounters an accident, then my daughter will be promoted to the heir, so my aunt will not touch us for a while..."

"Your Highness! How can this be? That's our child! You... How can you bear to watch your son being adopted by someone else? ”

Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow

Ekaterina couldn't hold back her tears.

"You've done your best, take a break, get some sleep and regain your strength, don't think too much"

Peter stood up as if fleeing and was about to leave.

"Your Highness! You're the father of your child! Can you just take it? ”

"I... I said it before I got married, right? Later, I also said many times that this is Russia, it is the home of the emperor, and there is no family affection at all, so what if you can't bear it? Isn't it clear that I can't do anything and can't change anything? ”

"Your Highness—"

Seeing that Peter was desperate to escape, Catherine struggled to get out of bed with all the strength she had left.

Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow

"Your Highness! I will definitely help you ascend to the throne! All I ask you is to bring the baby back! They're brother and sister, and no one can separate them—"

“...”

Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow - Wow

At this moment, Peter's nose was already sore and his eyes were glazed, but he couldn't stop, once he turned back, Catherine, a powerful ally in the future, would degenerate into a good wife and mother, which was not the result he wanted.
