In November, St. Petersburg was covered with snow, and Peter had to be stuffed in his house.

Mi - come - shake - west -

Shake - West - La - Whoosh -

In the small theater of the court, Peter played with three court musicians, and the piece was the famous Canon in D major.

The canon of this era was originally three violins with occasional guitar accompaniment, but under Peter's 'arrangement' it became a piece of one cello and three violins.

"No, no, no! Be soothing, soothing! Give me all over again! ”

Suddenly, Peter stopped his movements and shouted.

"Yes, Your Highness"

The court musician quickly nodded yes.

"Your Highness, the crown princess asks to see you"

At that moment, the door of the hall was opened, and a servant came in sideways to deliver the word.

"Ekaterina? Walking around with a stomach, it's really convincing... Forget it and tell her to come in."

Although she was seven months pregnant, it was not obvious when she looked at the outfit, which shows that Catherine came with a tight corset.

"Your Highness, I just went to the conservatory to rest, and I happened to pass by here, so I brought a few pots of flowers and plants by the way."

Catherine, dressed in a pale green dress, instructed several maids to place flower pots in front of the windowsill.

"Well, it's not bad"

It's rare to see a few splashes of color on a snowy winter's day, and Peter doesn't care too much about his wife who has recklessly broken in.

"It's been a while since I've heard your Highness play in person, may I ask Your Highness, can you play a song for me?"

"Huh? It's okay, it's almost rehearsed anyway, so you can sit down first."

When Peter saw Catherine's beautiful eyes, he was a little excited in his heart, and simply agreed.

"Alright, all set! One, two, three, from—"

Under his direction, the cello took the lead in playing a beautiful melodious melody. After eight syllables, Peter himself played the violin. After another eight syllables, there is the second violin...

The biggest feature of Canon's music is the harmony, which gives people a sense of harmony that rises and falls but is connected to each other, tactful, elegant, coherent, comfortable, and pleasing to the eye.

Bang Bang Bang!

Ekaterina kept clapping her hands.

"Excuse me, did Your Highness just play Canon in D major?"

"Not bad, but I've modified it a little, and I think the four pianos will be more comfortable to play and more pleasant to listen to."

"What a great thing, Your Highness deserves to be the premier violinist in all of Russia!"

"Haha, you really lift me up, that's all I can do"

"Your Highness, don't say that, I admire Your Highness very much."

"Oh, let's not talk about this..."

Peter suddenly walked curiously over to a pot of plants that had just been put in.

"What is this?"

"Oh, I think about it... I think it's called cherry tomatoes, and it's said that it was popular among the English court and nobility."

Ekaterina sat on the sofa and said sideways.

"That's it."

Bah

"Oh, Your Highness, no!"

When Peter saw that he had picked a small bright red fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, Catherine was so frightened that she hurriedly screamed to stop it.

"It's okay, this thing should be non-toxic"

Peter said as he chewed, looking like he was relishing.

"How can this work! This cherry tomato has never been eaten before! Hey, what are you doing in a daze? Call a doctor! ”

Catherine anxiously urged the maids who were waiting beside her.

"It's really no problem, don't worry, this cherry tomato is not hot enough in the conservatory, and the taste is a little sour, but the juice is rich, and it actually tastes very refreshing."

After eating one, Peter pulled down a few more cherry tomatoes to eat.

"Your Highness, you are always so big-hearted, but you will scare others to death..."

Catherine was crying, and rushed over to snatch the red fruit from Peter's hand.

"Oh, it's really okay, there are no toxic side effects at all, believe me, if you don't believe it, you can try it too"

“... Your Highness! ”

It's a new year in the blink of an eye.

Since the War of the Austrian Succession, Europe has not fought a major war for several years, except for the occasional hearing from British and French diplomats about their war in the East Indies, but it does not affect the overall situation of peace and stability in Europe as a whole.

Peter continues to lose himself and begins to indulge in delicate desserts, expensive French wines, and aristocratic young ladies who are both bold and amorous.

At a time when chocolate was only a strange drink and was sought after by the nobles of the court, Peter was already like a 'cook', making a 'dark chocolate cheese' mixed with sugar, milk, hazelnuts, almonds and other ingredients. This black cheese was often used as a lubricant on unpalatable dry bread, and Queen Eliza simply denounced it as a heretic.

As a playful farce, Peter also forced the maids or aristocrats attending masquerade balls to smear chocolate milk on their faces, which was often mistaken for a pit by others and provoked laughter. As the mastermind behind this, Peter always hides in the corner and can't help but applaud.
