I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 103 Jealousy Makes Women Unrecognizable

Queen Elizabeth appeared in a gorgeous rococo style, which caused the audience to exclaim.

The aristocrats, who knew nothing of this style of fashion except the palace, were astounded that the old-fashioned clothes, in contrast to the new fashion, were so vulgar and utterly incapable of expressing beauty.

Immediately afterwards, Ekaterina, who also had the same rococo style, appeared on the stage. Ekaterina dressed conservatively, but her limelight was only below that of the queen.

If this is acceptable, when the Duchess and the other countesses enter the scene, the nobles start to complain.

Some of them started late and came from St. Petersburg, and some came from other provinces, and they had never seen such fashions before.

Needless to say, the duchess of the Yusupov family, this family is too famous, but what are the four countesses Bolkonsky, Bezukhov, Rostov, and Kuragin?
Who can enter the palace without background?

It's not that there are many families who can surpass these families, but at this time the limelight is suppressed by these countesses.

There was a lot of discussion for a while, asking each other where the costume came from.

Peter just glanced at them and didn't care, he saw Johanna.

Johanna is also well-dressed, and she, who has a huge debt, never wants to lose a little bit of wind in her clothes.

Queen Elizabeth changed her clothes many times a day, and the Russian court ladies followed suit. The lowest was changing clothes three times a day. Johanna was not relentless in spending in this regard.

She didn't think about her daughter at all.

If it hadn't been for Peter's attention, and if it hadn't been for the [-] rubles personal expenses given to Ekaterina by Empress Elizabeth after the engagement, what Ekaterina had was the few shabby clothes in the suitcase when she came, and a A dress worn to meet the Queen for the first time.

The dress had been arranged by the Marquis de La Chettadiere.

Johanna, dressed up, was supposed to be the center of attention, but at this point she seemed to have been forgotten.

Looking at the empress and daughters, as well as the gorgeous ladies, who were all watching, Johanna saw an opportunity, pulled Ekaterina aside and asked:
"Sophia, where did you get your clothes?"

Ekaterina happily said:

"Mom, my husband gave it to me, it's so beautiful!"

Speaking of which, Ekaterina turned around, but she didn't wait for an answer, and all she felt was the oppressive atmosphere.

Ekaterina instantly understood the reason. She was so happy today that she seemed so unresponsive.

But Johanna's questioning words have come:

"You have nice clothes but you didn't tell me, did you deliberately make me look ugly by making me dress so hard?"

"No mother..."

Ekaterina quickly explained, but Johanna couldn't listen at all, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Johanna said angrily:

"If I hadn't taken you around to visit relatives when you were a child, you would still be a girl in Stedding, let alone let Queen Elizabeth know about you. Without me, you would not be where you are today. You are lucky to be a The imperial concubine forgot about me in a few days, and I have to report to you if I want to see you!"

Thinking of reporting this matter, Johanna felt even more annoyed, and her voice became louder unconsciously.

Ekaterina suddenly felt panic. She knew that now was the happiest time for the queen, because the ball was the queen's favorite pastime, and now the focus of the audience was on the queen. It would be a shame to disappoint the queen at this time. It's hard to imagine how it would end.

Ekaterina begged:

"Mother, I know I'm wrong, please don't be so loud? Please!"

Seeing Ekaterina begging, Johanna finally felt a little happy. She didn't realize that at this moment, in her heart, Ekaterina had become a woman who had taken away all the glory that should belong to her. Not a daughter.

Jealousy filled Johanna's mind.

"what happened?"

Johanna was about to say something, when a voice sounded beside her.

Ekaterina felt a little embarrassed, she immediately went up and took Peter's arm and said:

"Your Highness, I'm talking to my mother, it's nothing, why don't you dance, Your Highness?"

Peter smiled and said:
"I've skipped with my aunt, now I'm looking for you to dance."

Ekaterina was a little hesitant. At this time, she went to dance with His Highness and left her mother alone. Based on her understanding of her mother, her mother would definitely be even more furious.

This kind of anger will burn out the mother's sanity.

How much she longed for her father to appear at this moment, but Ekaterina knew it was impossible.

As a devout Lutheran, my father was very repulsed by the prom and would never come here.

Ekaterina pleaded a little:
"Your Highness, would you please invite my mother to a dance?"

In order not to be heard by Johanna, Ekaterina lowered her voice very low.

Peter nodded in agreement. He walked up to Johanna, looked at Johanna and said:

"Madam, would you do me the favor of giving you a dance?"

Johanna smiled at Peter:
"Your Highness, it is my honor to invite you."

Seeing her mother agreeing to dance with His Highness, Ekaterina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She waited quietly by the side, ready to dance the second dance with His Highness.

The same dance partner, different occasions, the one in front of her is undoubtedly more grand, but Johanna has no intention of dancing.

She was thinking about His Royal Highness's wealth.

Peter is not only the crown prince, but also the tsar, and the whole of Russia will be his.

It's unbelievable how rich he is now when he is the Grand Duke.

Johanna wants Peter to lend her some money.

But even if she was thick-skinned, it was still a bit difficult for her to say that in front of her daughter's husband.

"Ma'am, is there anything embarrassing for you?"

Peter smiled and asked.

Johanna gritted her teeth and said:
"Your Highness, can you take me to a quieter place? I have something to tell you."

Peter glanced at Ekaterina, nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, but I want your daughter to have a dance, or she'll be ashamed."

Johanna couldn't care so much at this time, she nodded immediately in agreement.

Seeing Johanna calm down after dancing, although Ekaterina was surprised that her mother's anger disappeared so quickly, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Seeing Peter walking towards her, Ekaterina immediately quickened her pace.

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by running so fast?"

Peter and Ekaterina danced and whispered.

Ekaterina said shyly:
"Your Highness, I can't help it, you are so attractive to me."

Ekaterina's words were just like her eyes, showing her heart unabashedly.

Looking at this pure and infatuated gaze, Peter hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to hold Johanna.

For his starting point, this is understandable, not only beneficial to the long-term relationship with Ekaterina, but also beneficial to avoid greater losses in Russia.

"Baby."

Peter smiled and said three words, which made Ekaterina blush.

Then her gaze became brighter, more gorgeous than the clothes on her body, and a halo seemed to flow around her whole body.

The change of the aura is subtle, and the guests can't help but be attracted, and the focus gradually shifts.

Queen Elizabeth couldn't help noticing this.

She sees Ekaterina out of focus, and at this moment Peter is dancing with her.

Elizabeth glanced at Ekaterina again, and noticed that the crown princess was young and energetic, and at the same time, she was nourished by love to produce amazing beauty.

Everyone could easily see that she was brimming with happiness.

For the first time Elizabeth felt old from Ekaterina.

She lost interest in dancing, and went to the empress's throne to watch people dance, a little absent-minded and angry.

Peter did not forget to pay attention to his aunt, he whispered to Ekaterina:
"You are so beautiful, my aunt is not happy, you go and stay with my aunt, don't dance anymore, I will let Countess Roman accompany you."

Ekaterina was startled, she looked at it immediately, and sure enough, she saw that the queen was not dancing anymore, and she was sitting there wondering what she was thinking.

"Your Highness, I..."

Seeing Ekaterina was a little overwhelmed.

Peter put his arms around her and took her hand.

Ekaterina immediately calmed down, and felt a stabilizing force from her husband's hand, and her whole body restrained her breath.

Peter took Ekaterina and walked towards the queen, and said with a smile:
"Auntie, why don't you dance anymore?"

Elizabeth glanced at Ekaterina, feeling that her clothes were a bit dazzling, and said lightly:
"I'm old, I can't jump anymore."

"How old is my aunt? My aunt's hands are so white and tender, and her body is also young."

Peter held his aunt's hand and said shameless words, which reminded Elizabeth of the day she was seen by Peter and glared at him.

Peter didn't care at all, glanced at Ekaterina and said:

"Your clothes are dirty, go and change them."

Yekaterina's heart was aroused, and she immediately understood the meaning. She couldn't help being very grateful to His Highness, and she bowed to Elizabeth and said:

"Your Majesty, can your servant leave for now and come back to serve you later?"

Ekaterina's attitude was humble and respectful, and Elizabeth could not help but think of her attitude when she first met her.

It's just that she could not speak at that time, but now she is much more cheerful.

And all this, Elizabeth knew, was due to Peter.

"Go."

Elizabeth said lightly.

She doesn't care where it gets dirty, just don't be an eyesore.

"Yes."

After Ekaterina left, Peter pressed his aunt's leg through the pannier and said:
"Auntie, I'll design a tea dress for you some other day."
