Chapter 1: My wife Catherine

Next Chapter

Hmm- Whew-

The curly-haired man with champagne hair panted and turned over, put the pillow wrapped in a silver silk jacket on the side of the bed, and then leaned back completely in a half-lying and half-leaning position, finally finding a comfortable and relaxed angle.

This is the second time in three days that they have been lying naked in the same bed, and the second time in five years of marriage.

If it weren't for the coercion and persecution of that aunt, the curly-haired man would have dragged on any longer.

"Your Highness, I..."

A young woman with long blond hair like beer, which is abundant in her hometown, leaned sideways with tenderness and tried to caress the curly-haired man's chest.

"If there's anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired and want to sleep, okay? Ekaterina. Alekseevna"

"Your Highness, I just want to speak..."

The woman pleaded unwillingly.

"Do you want me to leave now?"

"I wish you a good night and a good dream, Peter. Fedorovich"

The woman lowered her eyes and turned her head, and a heavy melancholy flashed between her eyebrows.

Sofia. August. Friedrichia, the small principality of the German region, Anhalt. The poor little princess of Chalbst, after six years in the Russian Empire, finally slept with her husband, the future Tsar Peter III of the Russian Empire, and this super exciting news was probably enough to make the nobles of the capital St. Petersburg talk for at least half a month. Now it's up to her Catherine. Alekseevna's belly is fighting.

Actually, our Guo Zijing, oh no, should be called Peter now. Fedorovich, the future Tsar Peter III, was also very distressed in his heart!

It's been more than half a year, and I've been scared all day and all night. Afraid that his aunt would beat him, afraid that those court courtiers would kill him, afraid that the court maids and noble ladies who were scratching their heads and posing would seduce him for another purpose. So since the crossing, apart from three irregular lovers, he has never slept with other women, even the German wife who was later called Catherine the Great!

Wow! Lao Tzu can press on the great Empress Catherine! It's too good to compare!

Guo Zijing thought like this all day long, but he really didn't dare to act rashly, because not only did the wall have ears, but he also had to worry that if there was a real successor, whether his excessive role would be like other unlucky people in Russian history who died mysteriously 'died of illness' or 'fell from a horse' or 'drowned' for no reason...

happened to 'bump' into his wife in Elizabeth Palace, it turned out that although Catherine was not as beautiful and moving as the heroine in later film and television dramas, she really looked like 'Arya' in the American drama "A Song of Ice and Fire". Stark', with large and beautiful eyes, and a small round face. From the memory of his predecessor Peter, Guo Zijing can feel that the 14-year-old Princess Sophia when she first came to St. Petersburg is still very smart and cute. It's just that in this era, ladies and etiquette are more important than anything else.

From this point of view, Peter's failure to sleep with Catherine after five years of marriage was not his physical problem, but simply the fear of his aunt and the deliberate desire not to give birth to an heir soon. This may be one of the main reasons why the ignorant girl in the boudoir has developed a tenacious patience and ruthless character in the cold of the northern country.

Why did he cross over to Peter III, the world's most famous 'cuckold king'? Guo Zijing is constantly distressed, which is also the main reason why he has deliberately alienated his wife in the past six months.

Throughout the life of Empress Catherine, there are as many as 23 lovers that can be clearly recorded, and even the question of the ownership of the father of her first child has caused continuous debate among later historians, even though the child actually looked like Peter III.

If it weren't for the fact that two months ago, the imperial physician of the court gave Catherine a physical examination at the request of Empress Elizabeth I, proving that she was still a virgin, Guo Zijing really never wanted to touch her. But this physical examination also caused Peter to be scolded by his aunt for a long time.

This great aunt of his, ah no, should be considered a second aunt, the daughter of the famous Peter the Great and his second wife, Catherine I. After overthrowing his sister Empress Anna as the appointed young heir, he took charge of the Russian Empire, restored the institutions of Peter the Great, and vigorously reformed and tried to maintain the peace, so that the Russian Empire had not fought a war with the outside world since his accession to the throne.

However, like the eldest aunt, the second aunt also usurped the throne and did not have any heirs of any gender, which brought his little nephew Peter, who was far away in the Duchy of Holstein in Germany, to Russia as his heir.

Despite her reputation for beauty and manners, and now her claim that she would not be sentenced to death, Aunt Elizabeth is synonymous with secret arrests and brutal torture. The notoriously terrifying Peter and Paul Fortress prison was home to a large number of sinners who opposed her, and on the way to the bitter cold of Siberia, countless bones haunted her.

If anyone who crossed over to Peter dared to say that he was never afraid, it was because he had never crossed over to Peter.
