Chapter 16: Catherine fell in love, and the Assassin came
"Grand Duchess, I'll take you in!"
The girl smiled: "Sir Alev, no need! I'm here as a scholar, not a Grand Duchess, strictly speaking, Professor Mendeleev is still my teacher, I'll just go myself! ”
"But ......," said the headmaster, what else to say.
The girl asked, "What?" Will I still be in danger at the University of Petersburg? ”
The headmaster didn't say anything.
However, safety precautions are unavoidable.
The guards she brought with her guarded the office building.
The girl walked inside with only two valet maids and a knight.
"Grand Duchess, Grand Duchess...... Just know to call me the Grand Duchess! The girl blushed as she walked inside.
"Duchess, please be careful!" A maid said.
"Afraid of what? Are you going to say it? The girl asked rhetorically, but she stopped nagging.
Before opening the door of Mendeleev, the girl smelled a burst of fragrance and could not help but say: "What a fragrance! ”
Then he pushed open the door and smiled, "Teacher, what are you eating?" So fragrant! ”
As soon as Mendeleev saw the person, he immediately stood up and said: "Ah, it's the Grand Duchess, welcome! It just so happened that I just solved a puzzle today! No, it should be said that with the help of Mr. Fang, we solved this problem together! I decided, just call it "The Periodic Table", the author is me and Mr. Fang Haofang! ”
Fang Hao was a little shocked when he heard this.
What's the situation?
Isn't the periodic table an old book?
Now the author wants to add me?
Wait, it's a bit of a mess.
I brought to Mendeleev from the future the knowledge of the periodic table that Mendeleev had discovered.
Mendeleev then discovered the periodic table.
This......
Well, whatever it is, I became the discoverer of the periodic table.
This seems a bit hanging.
The "Grand Duchess" glanced at Fang Hao curiously, and was immediately attracted by Fang Hao, with black hair and black eyes, she looked so different.
In the black eyes, there seemed to be a light of wisdom.
What's more, he is very strong, so cold weather, so well dressed.
This is completely different from Archduke Peter.
Archduke Peter was her titular husband, thin and weak, and seemed intellectually problematic.
Grand Duke Peter is the crown prince of the current Tsarist Russia, and the current empress has no children, so Peter is her nephew.
He was thin and weak.
If it were just that, he wouldn't say "nominally" his husband.
The point is that Archduke Peter doesn't seem to be interested in the relationship between men and women, and every day he makes rounds of the barracks and then plays war games with the soldiers.
It seems that there is something intellectually problematic, just like a child.
It was also rumored that Archduke Peter liked to live with men in the barracks.
This made the "Grand Duchess" very disgusting.
She is only fifteen years old this year, originally a princess of a small German principality, originally named Sophia, after marrying into Tsarist Russia, she converted to Eastern / Orthodox Christianity, and changed her name to Catherine.
Originally, it was the time to look forward to love, but I didn't expect to go to a foreign country and marry such a person.
But divorce is impossible.
Since Peter ignores her, she puts all her mind on socializing, especially making friends with cultural people.
And it's not showing off making friends, it's not about introducing to others, I know so-and-so, I'm the kind of awesome.
She was genuinely interested in culture, and she once found ten volumes of German history, forcing herself to read one volume every eight days, and then read the history of philosophy, as well as the works of writers such as Voltaire.
You know, she was only fifteen years old at this time.
At the age of fifteen, the girl has already begun to understand Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Law".
On the one hand, this shows that she is very interested in culture.
But on the other hand, it also proves that she is indeed lonely.
After all, the crown prince's wife, the future queen.
If it weren't for the emptiness and loneliness, how could it be possible to spend the same age as a flower on such boring reading?
In a way, this may be sad.
Fang Hao didn't know Catherine, and he didn't know anything about the history of Tsarist Russia.
But even so, he couldn't help but look at Ekaterina a few more times.
It's really beautiful!
She looked very happy when she smiled, but a hint of loneliness in her eyes added a bit of mysterious charm to her.
Ekaterina was very good at socializing and quickly chatted with several people.
Yelena was next to Catherine, feeling ashamed.
She thought to herself, it's good that this is the Grand Duchess, otherwise I really can't compete with her.
Fang Hao noticed that Catherine liked to be called by her name directly, rather than calling her the Grand Duchess.
It's weird.
Fang Hao didn't know this history, and if he did, he wouldn't say so.
Due to the addition of Catherine, it is naturally impossible for several people to chat only about chemistry, but also about astronomy and geography.
This is actually Fang Hao's advantage, the 21st century is the era of information explosion, as long as you watch more news, anyone can talk a few words.
But for people in the eighteenth century, many of them knew the furthest thing in their lives was what happened in the next village.
The amount of knowledge in Fang Hao is amazing.
Ekaterina looked at Fang Hao with the wrong eyes.
This man is so attractive.
The body is strong.
The mind is easy to use.
And knowledgeable.
This must be a nobleman from the East!
Alas!
Thinking of this, Catherine couldn't help but sigh, why did she marry Peter!
After chatting, the new barbecue was also roasted, and Fang Hao casually handed Ekaterina a string: "Here you go!" ”
Catherine took the barbecue, and Bei Yan gently bit down on a piece of meat, only to feel that her mouth was fragrant, and she couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant!" I didn't expect you to barbecue meat. ”
Fang Hao asked: "Is it strange to know how to barbecue?" ”
"Sort of!" Catherine took a small bite of barbecue, her posture of eating barbecue was very elegant, after all, she was educated by the nobility since childhood, "In the eyes of many men, cooking is a woman's business!" They don't bother to do it! ”
Fang Hao said: "They don't understand, in fact, cooking for the girl they like is also a kind of romance!" ”
When he said this, Fang Hao was thinking of Xinxin, so he said "girl".
But isn't Catherine a girl?
Peter only likes men.
It's been almost a year since they got married, and neither of them has slept in a single bed.
And she's only fifteen!
Catherine's heart trembled, and she wondered if this was a confession to me.
Should I accept him?
After all, Peter wouldn't find out that he never slept with me.
What girl doesn't have a spring?
This could not be more appropriate for Catherine.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside, followed by gunfire.
Ekaterina asked: "What is the situation?" Check it out! ”
The knight beside him hurriedly turned around and ran out to look.
Just pushed open the door.
"Bang!"
Directly pierced through the forehead by a musket.
Outside the door, more than a dozen assassins with muskets and swords broke in.
"Catherine is there!"
"Catch her!"
A crowd of people flocked up.
