Chapter 164: Good Brother Bode, Mingying is a relative (ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

Although Zhuge Weidao knew that Nicholas I would approve of his marriage to Natalie when he got the position of military advisor, after all, the Ming Emperor was just a puppet, and the military advisor of the Zhuge family was a powerful figure who could manipulate the politics of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are as many as ten or twenty military advisors in the Zhuge family, each of them will eventually surpass those small monarchs in Europe in terms of wealth and power.

Therefore, the marriage of Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can be said to be a good match, a talented woman, dry firewood and raw rice cooked rice...... There is no need for Nicholas I to stop it anymore, and if he stops it again, he will look down on the Zhuge family. The actual first one of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to look down on it? Therefore, after receiving Zhuge Weidao and Natalie's request, he was ready to borrow a donkey and agree to the marriage. However, he did not announce it immediately, but first sent an envoy to Daming.

The reason for this arrangement, of course, is to wait for the British side to officially announce the engagement of Princess Victoria and Archduke Alexander. After all, Victoria and Alexander were still young, and they were not old enough to cook raw rice. So Zhuge Weidao and Natalie's good deeds did not run, while Alexander and Victoria's good deeds did not necessarily ...... If the British felt that the Romanov dynasty was married to the Ming and the British at the same time, it belonged to two boats, and refused to marry Victoria to Alexander, this Nicholas I would be at a loss.

Therefore, after Menshikov arrived in Beijing, he did not immediately announce the Tsar's decision to recognize Zhuge Weidao and Natalie's marriage as legal, but waited...... Wait for the British side to make an official announcement first.

And a few days ago Zhuge Weijiu and George. Canning initialed the "Mingying Agreement", which can be regarded as the end of the previous two rounds of "small bets", and also announced that the Ming Dynasty and the British will not break up for the time being. But this agreement was, after all, a "towel-defeating pact" that dealt a big blow to the prestige of the British Empire.

In order to save his prestige, George. Canning and his Tories relented on the marriage contract between Alexander and Victoria and made an official announcement.

So, Menshikov received the final instructions of Tsar Nicholas I just last night!

And this announcement also means that all the children born to Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can be included in the royal family tree of the Rakshasa royal family, and they will be ranked according to the order of inheritance (this genealogy will be changed periodically, removing those who have lost the right to inherit, and adding new people at the same time). Of course, Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can also decide to exclude one or more of their descendants from the Rakshasa royal family tree.

In addition, the "legal union" of Zhuge Weidao and Natalie also means...... Archduke Alexander became his nephew, and Victoria became his nephew's daughter-in-law.

From now on, everyone will be relatives!

Thinking that he was going to be a relative of Alexander II and Queen Victoria, Zhuge Weidao smiled even more happily, and walked to Zheng Yuhuan while laughing, looked at the "Sister Yuhuan" who was more jade after giving birth, and then reached out to take over his eldest son. It's a doll-looking half-breed child, and it's very likable.

Zhuge Weidao hugged his eldest son and announced to Menshikov: "Lieutenant General, according to me and Natalie. Pavrovna's agreement that our eldest son would be her heir and inherit all her inheritance and corresponding titles in Rakshasa. ”

Menshikov glanced at the child in Zhuge Weidao's arms: "Your Excellency, what is his name?" ”

"Yangde," said Zhuge Weidao, "the Rakshasa is Peter." ”

The way for the children of the Zhuge family to choose their names is theoretically by drawing lots - the unified characters are set by the ancestors, and the remaining words have to be drawn by lot, so as not to repeat them.

In addition, this lottery can be drawn before the child is born, as long as the wife and concubine are pregnant. If it's a girl, then return the words drawn. A girl's name doesn't have to be based on the characters, the degree of freedom is much greater, and it is not easy to repeat, as long as you check the family tree before naming it.

Of course, it is also possible to cheat when it comes to drawing lots. Zhuge is the eldest son of the Tao, Yangde's "virtue" character, he has been coming to Zhuge for a long time. And his second son, who was born early, was not treated so well, Zhuge Weidao also smoked one for him through Nalandili's stomach, and drew the word "wave".

The eldest son "De" and the second son "Bo...... What a "good brother of Bode"!

"All right," said Menshikov, nodding his head, "I will convey to His Majesty the Tsar the decision of you and the Grand Duchess." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled at this time and said, "Daozi, now you follow the mourning family to see your second son and Natalie...... You have two sons, you can't favor one over the other! ”

Zhuge Weidao hugged his eldest son, looked like, and nodded again and again: "Okay, let's go and have a look together." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and nodded to Menshikov again, said "out of company", and then stood up, accompanied by two black eunuchs, and walked towards a side door in the lobby.

Zhuge Weidao hugged his beloved son, and said with a smile as he walked: "I won't favor one over the other, the eldest and the second are my heart." ”

In fact, Zhuge Weidao is already a bit favoritism...... A pair of twins, the younger brother who was born two months early, and the older brother who was born two months later. And the late-born brother was held in the arms of Zhuge Weidao, the father, not long after he was born, and the younger brother who was born early has been two months old, and he hasn't seen what his father looks like!

What's more, he is now breastfeeding a "big foreign mother" he has never seen before...... This milk doesn't taste right! It's a little smelly, and a little greasy, but it's quite enough! Well, the "bag" of milk is more than one size bigger, and the rations in the future are guaranteed!

Zhuge Yangbo, who has been hungry for a long time, is now a mother with milk, and he doesn't pick his mouth, just sucks big. When his father Zhuge Weidao and Empress Dowager Zheng, as well as his brother Zhuge Yangde entered the house quickly, they saw him lying on Natalie's chest, munching on milk, and even ignoring his father and mother.

Looking at Natalie, who was very generous and breastfeeding Zhuge Yangbo, Zhuge Weidao smiled and handed Zhuge Yangde in his arms to Natalie, who was half-lying on the back of the bed, "Honey, feed the boss a little too, he's hungry too...... Look, he's a lap younger than the second child, so he eats more. ”

Natalie's husband's words made her laugh and said, "He just had a ......."

As she spoke, she still stretched out a hand to take Zhuge Yangde, only to find that she only revealed a milk bag, and the other was still hidden in her pajamas. So he said to Zhuge Weidao: "Honey, do me a favor." ”

"Howler!" Zhuge responded to the Tao, went up and picked up Zhuge Yangbo, who was breastfeeding, and said while hugging, "Second brother, let your brother eat some too, look at him so ......"

Zhuge Yangbo was eating happily, and suddenly let people take it away, and he was angry at that time, and he cried angrily after a "woo".

When he cried, the Empress Dowager Zheng on the side was a little unhappy, and her mouth was pursed. However, Zhuge Weidao didn't care, just looked at his son who was "crying angrily...... This kid is not bad-looking, with big eyes, a brain, a very straight nose, white skin, but a little fierce, and he is angrily glaring at his father who is holding him and crying--he can't speak, or he will be scolded earlier.

"Give me Bobo!" Natalie was very maternal, and while feeding her own son, she said to Zhuge Weidao, "Little Bobo is hungry, I'll feed him...... I've got milk! ”

Seeing that the two brothers had drunk, Empress Dowager Zheng's face finally eased, and then she found a chair and sat down, sighed and said, "Daozi, Natalie...... You have to take these two children with you! Especially your second child, the mourning family sees him as very smart, and he will definitely be able to become a military advisor in the future. Daozi, what do you say? Can you make him a military advisor? ”
