Chapter 192: Olga's Marriage

Olga was envious of her parents being able to get tired of being together at a young age, her four brothers were disdainful, and Alexander even deliberately made a retching sound.

Then the ill-fated crown prince was kicked out by his father.

Several younger brothers hurriedly went to see the eldest brother, and Alexander's popularity among the brothers was surprisingly good.

Nicholas I, on the other hand, came from one place in a rage and scolded.

"A bunch of bastards! Get your guns! If you can't hit your prey, don't eat! ”

The four brothers could only leave in a huff.

Nicholas I turned to his daughter and said.

"Olga, we have found a good husband for you. He is very good, and his father will let him marry you as the emperor of the Western Roman Empire, and you will be a good queen in the future. ”

Nicholas I lovingly rubbed his daughter's hair, and Olga simply bowed her head obediently.

Queen Alexandra teased.

"It's a twenty-six-year-old girl, shouldn't you be happy when you get married?"

Although the queen said it with a smile, there were tears in her eyes.

"Mom!"

"My poor little Olga!"

Mother and daughter hugging each other.

Empress Alexandra knew that the excellent young man in the mouth of Nicholas I must be very young and promising, but such people often did not have much time to share with their families.

In addition, such a man must have many women, just like his eldest son, although her husband looks down on this eldest son very much, but as a mother, she knows very well that Alexander is the best of her children, otherwise it is impossible to be loved by her brothers.

Empress Alexandra never refuted her husband's claims, after all, the king wants to save face, and she is convinced that her husband has no ill intentions, and the eldest son can stand up in times of crisis.

Nicholas I and his wife did not tell Olga the whole truth, and it seemed to Nicholas I that it was a heinous act to engage in an affair before marriage, let alone on a sacred battlefield.

However, at this time Russia really needed this ally, and after this economic crisis, Nicholas I knew that the economy of the Austrian Empire was much more stable than that of Britain and France.

Russia is a vast country and needs a stable market and processors like Austria.

The main thing was that he found it much easier to do business with the Austrians than to tax the merchants and the poor.

And most of this money will go directly into the pockets of the royal family, and Nicholas I can throw it all into the army without hindrance, and no longer need to listen to the nonsense of the courtiers.

The ministers and merchants would desperately make ends meet, and every year Nicholas I was able to make a net profit of tens of millions of rubles from all these years of trading with the Austrian Empire.

By 1847, before the war, this income even exceeded 100 million rubles, and even in 1848, when the war was torn up, it exceeded 65 million rubles in the first half of the year alone.

Empress Alexandra was more worried about Olga's married life, but she was less worried when she thought of Nicholas I's promise that her daughter would be able to return home at any time.

In addition, Queen Alexandra didn't want her daughter to know too much, after all, sometimes ignorant people are the happiest.

In fact, the Tsar's worries were somewhat unnecessary, Olga was born into the royal family since she was a child, and even if she was well cared for, she was very clear about the fate of the princess.

Marriage before love, even just for the sake of inheritance, the exchange of family interests, Olga can accept it.

As for the love of her parents, it is a luxury in high society, and there are few noblewomen around who do not find a lover, and men, like her eldest brother, will basically change one every day faster than her changing skirts.

Olga admired Madame Sophie, but she knew very well that she could not be that woman, and she could not and did not want to be afraid of her.

And Olga had a good impression of Franz, who was a handsome and erudite little "engineer" who could write some obscure poems.

When she thought of that handsome guy, she was still a little excited in her heart. Olga felt that Franz was a very kind person, otherwise he would not have accepted so many refugees, let alone helped the Germans who were threatened by the French when the country was in a mess.

Although she did not understand military affairs, she knew very well that France and Austria did not directly border, so Austria could use the German region as a barrier to solve domestic problems first.

But Franz apparently did not do so, and her teacher had said that such a person was stupid, not like an emperor, but like a hero.

Olga had also read a few things, and Franz was like those knights who fought for their faith, so she was glad to be married to such a person.

In fact, Franz and Olga's correspondence has never been broken, and the former will give the latter some small gifts from time to time.

The content of the letters is very ordinary, mostly views on some events and a record of trivial things in life.

Franz's views always catch Olga's eyes, a little deviant, but always so pertinent.

After all, Franz's poisonous chicken soup was not drunk back then, and as long as it was slightly modified, it could create the image of a confidant brother.

The gifts were high-tech entertainment, including cameras, as well as jewelry and diamonds looted from the colonies.
