Ekaterina

Char's thoughts flowed in her heart, and in another time and space, there was also a person named Catherina, who was very similar to her in terms of time and experience.

However, Char had seen the portrait of Catherine in the past, and she was a slightly blessed woman, and the woman in front of her was not at all like it.

She's going to look better.

However, Catherine's fame does not lie in her beauty.

Some people may be unfamiliar with this name, but they must have heard what she said:

"If I live for 200 years, all of Europe will be prostrate at my feet."

Ekaterina Alekseevna (May 2, 1729 – November 17, 1796)

Catherine II, known as Catherine the Great in later generations, was the twelfth Tsar of the Russian Romanov Dynasty and the only empress in the history of the country to be named "the Great".

As Char said, the Great Emperor, not all emperors can get it.

This is a title of praise for some of the great monarchs in history.

"Big" is also one of the nicknames.

There are thousands of emperors in the history of the world, but there are very few who can really be called emperors.

In the whole of Russia, there are only two who can be called the Great, one is Peter the Great, who established this summer palace.

And the other is Catherine II.

Peter was the founder who led Tsarist Russia to catch up with the West in science and technology and culture, and Catherine was the executor who really expanded Tsarist Russia.

The three partitions of Poland alone gave it 460,000 square kilometers of territory, which was already on top of France. There were also Crimea, Lithuania, Belarus, the dismemberment of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the capture of Constantinople (briefly), and the capture of the Caucasus to the south.

Her reign can be said to be the period of the largest territory in Tsarist Russia.

However, what many people don't know is that the life that the legendary empress lived before she became an empress was actually not good.

She traveled all the way from Germany, slept in the open to this strange country, and almost died of pneumonia, but she survived it and relied on her wisdom to gain the approval of the Russians.

But it's a pity that her husband Peter doesn't love her at all, finds a new love, and the two have been married for five years and are actually separated.

It was also because Catherine and Peter had not had children for five years of marriage, which greatly annoyed Empress Elizabeth.

At the hint of the chief of the guard, Catherine understood that if she had not given birth to an imperial heir for Empress Elizabeth, her place would not be secured.

So, she stunned Peter III, which is also the origin of this child.

Later, as Catherine said, her situation was even worse.

"Where's your husband?" Char said.

"He didn't care about the kid." Catherine scoffed, "That fool only knows how to indulge in his own world."

And, because of this, he became more and more arrogant and unreasonable to me, thinking that I had defiled him. ”

Char shrugged, "So. What are your plans for the future? ”

"Intended?"

A little confusion flashed in Catherine's eyes.

But then, Char spoke, "It seems that you only have three paths to go now. ”

Char raised his paintbrush and continued to paint on the drawing board in front of him, saying as he painted.

"One is to continue to be the wife of this crown prince, and finally live and die with this crown prince, if it is true that this crown prince's intelligence is problematic as Ling said, then the future of this country can almost be clearly seen and will come to an end.

Don't forget, you rely on Europe, and you rely on Beichen.

The second is to be submissive, arrested or deposed by the crown prince, and sent to the seminary.

The third is to take the initiative to take action, to make their own destiny, and to make their own decisions."

"Do you decide your own destiny?"

Catherine's eyes flashed with light, and she silently raised the black tea in her hand and took a sip.

"With Empress Elizabeth here, no one dares to act rashly."

After a pause, she seemed to realize something, and said after a moment of silence.

"We seem to have a little bit of a deep conversation."

Char couldn't deny, "We might be able to talk about something else, like hobbies." ”

"Hobbies?" Catherine shook her head, "I don't have any hobbies, and if I had to say anything, I can only read books now." ”

"It's also a hobby." Char said, "I also like to read.

In my house, there is a large library with a large collection of books on history, politics, geography and other aspects, and even . Spellbook. ”

Ekaterina couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that we have a common hobby. ”

They chatted for a while, from life to hobbies, and from hobbies, to some ideas.

Char was very talkative, perhaps thanks to his sociological skills, and the well-read Catherine possessed a literary literacy similar to Char's.

It's been a long time since Catherine has met someone who is so compatible with her.

After some time, Char silently took the painting from the drawing board, and finally walked to Catherine and handed her the painting.

"I'll give you this, I hope it will help you."

Ekaterina was stunned for a moment, but then she saw what was on the painting.

It was a portrait of myself, and the vivid hairs around the eyes could not be expressed without the most detailed depiction.

The eyes and face are also natural and decent, the eyelashes are thick, and each one is meticulously delineated, twisting and turning, as if from under the skin, which is extremely realistic.

The pure and delicate pink nostrils on the tip of the nose are really lifelike. The lips are slightly pursed, from rosy lips to delicate pink necks, and everywhere is vivid skin rather than a pile of pigments. If you look closely at the depression in your throat, you can feel your pulse beating.

Catherine was first intrigued by the painting, she had never seen such a lifelike transformation, it was almost like Leonardo da Vinci in the Renaissance.

However, unlike himself, the people in the painting are more vigorous, confident, and decent, and the blue eyes like Lake Baikal are full of undisguised ambition, as if they contain thousands of troops, like an empress who reigns over the world.

She had never seen such an imposing presence in Empress Isabel.

"It's . I? ”

"Power is the best beauty agent."

"You're excellent." Char's voice continued, "What you lack is confidence.

The only option you have is to get away from everything you are now and take your destiny into your own hands. ”

Catherine raised her head to look at Char, the rays of sunlight shining on his body through the gaps in the leaves, the silver-white hair roots were flushed, and there was a light smile on her handsome face, like a summer flower blooming.

It's like a sun.

Catherine had not looked closely at the painter just now, she had never imagined that this painter would be so handsome, far more handsome than all the men she had ever seen.

Her breathing was a little unsteady, and there was a slight distraction in her eyes.

"You"

But then, a movement from the side caught their attention, and it seemed that someone had walked in from outside.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get out of here." Char laughed.

"It was a pleasure to chat with you.

If you are stressed in the future, you can learn to draw, which can be a good relief from stress.

Then farewell. ”

"I don't know your name yet." Ekaterina said.

"My name is . Merlin. ”

"Merlin." Catherine silently kept the name in her heart, "Can I see you again?" ”

"I'm a casual traveler, but I should be here for a while." Char said calmly, "Let's see you soon."

At this time, the door to the courtyard of the palace finally opened, and several people came out of it.

But when Catherine came back to her senses and looked at the place where Char had just been, the painter had disappeared, and even the painter did not exist, as if he had suddenly disappeared.

However, the painting in her hand proves that everything that has just happened is real, not her fantasy

Don't think about it too much, the protagonist has succubus blood and is so good, it's normal for others to behave like this, and it's in line with the direction of the plot.

All character relationships will serve the direction of the plot and the character of the characters, and it is impossible to say what woman is forced into a person like the protagonist.
