Chapter 104 The Complacent Charm

"What's a tea dress?"

Elizabeth said curiously.

She was never short of interest in it.

Peter smiled and said:
"Auntie, do you feel tight in your clothes now?"

Elizabeth squinted at Peter, paused and said:

"Tight."

Peter still smiled:

"Auntie, do you feel uncomfortable when drinking tea and eating?"

No wonder it wasn't uncomfortable under a whalebone tunic.

Elizabeth immediately nodded and said:
"Naturally, it's uncomfortable. Sometimes it's hard to swallow food."

Although she was used to it, it would be better if she could relax a little bit. Elizabeth preferred the atmosphere of sleeping on the bed.

Peter looked at his aunt with some emotion. Although he didn't know the reason why his aunt suffered from a stomach problem in history and recuperated in Moscow for a year, it probably had something to do with her work, rest, diet, and even clothing.

Peter said:
"Auntie, a tea dress is a dress that you can relax and wear indoors."

"This skirt is covered from top to bottom, and the clothes are fastened together by buttons in the front. No tights, just a thin layer of lining. It's very relaxed to wear."

Elizabeth hesitated and said:
"Without a tunic?"

Peter nodded: "No."

Elizabeth said with some doubts:
"Will this work? Will it appear..."

Elizabeth didn't say it, but Peter understood, and he laughed:
"Auntie, where are you going? Naturally, it has been specially treated inside, not to mention that you are still wearing an inner lining."

“Of course, it’s okay to go without the liner, just wrap the front and the back inside so you can move wherever you want and show off your legs when you sit down. "

What Peter said made Elizabeth's eyes light up, and her heart was moved.

She has a pair of naturally beautiful legs!
"Okay, then you do it!"

Elizabeth gave the order.

Peter smiled and nodded. Buttons have not been invented in this era, but it is very simple to use substitutes according to the final function. Even if there is no substitute, a skilled blacksmith can make a metal button.

Even if it is rough, it can be blocked by beautiful clothing in front of the metal buckle, and it is completely invisible.

At this time, Ekaterina came after changing her clothes, and behind her was Countess Roman, who was dressed in regular clothes.

Countess Roman saluted Peter, who nodded with a smile. He has always been sympathetic and friendly to this poor woman. If possible, he also hopes to find a doctor to save her.

Then accompanied Ekaterina and chatted with the aunt for a few words, seeing that the aunt seemed to have a clear mind, and then left.

Glancing at Johanna, Peter walked towards a palace.

There are many palaces and palaces. It would be a mistake to think that the Russian court in the mid-eighteenth century was so messy.

After traveling through this period of time, Peter discovered that the American version of Ye Dadi he watched in his previous life was all fabricated.

It's impossible to do it in this palace or in that palace, and even happy against the pillars at the banquet under the eyes of everyone. It's impossible here.

Because the consequences of being caught are serious.

Of course he needless to say, because of Karl's reputation.

When the court maids saw Johanna follow His Royal Highness to a palace, they all looked strange, but they didn't say anything, instead they protected the room intentionally or unintentionally.

The room was a little dark, Peter lit a candle, sat down and smiled:

"Ma'am, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm all ears."

Some terms did not appear in Russia, and Johanna could understand the meaning. Although she was a little surprised, she soon ignored it.

It's not her concern.

She hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said:

"Your Highness, can you lend me some money?"

Peter said:
"How many?"

Johanna was surprised that Peter didn't ask the reason, and then said excitedly:
"Your Highness, not much, as long as you have 10 rubles!"

10 rubles is not enough to repay the nobles and ambassadors, but it is enough for them to see their ability to repay.

if more...

Johanna was afraid that Peter would not borrow it.

Peter couldn't help but want to laugh, as long as there are 10?
Now in St. Petersburg, you can join the third guild merchant with 5000 rubles, and it is a little more expensive in Moscow, which costs 7000 rubles.

But with this family background, you can be regarded as a big businessman.

Johanna asked for 10 rubles, and she was able to join two of the first guild merchants whose entry threshold was 3 rubles.

As far as Peter knew, there were less than 300 people in this first guild in Russia.

And this time when he was named Grand Duke, his aunt gave Ekaterina 30 rubles for him and [-] for him.

Johanna asked for a third as soon as she asked.

I'm going to die.

Peter smiled and said:
"Ma'am, yes, but I have one condition."

Johanna was pleasantly surprised, saying that His Highness is willing to borrow, she immediately said:

"Your Highness, what condition? Tell me!"

Peter said:
"Let me draw you."

Peter's drawing skills were only shown in front of his aunt, Ekaterina, and the ladies and tailors who bought fashion, and Johanna didn't know it.

Johanna was a little suspicious, would His Highness still be able to draw?
But I am very happy, isn't it just to draw a picture, what is the condition?

This little matter, no matter how Peter's painting skills are, she agreed.

She seemed to see a golden ruble flying towards her, and immediately said:

"Your Highness, I promise you! Draw me quickly!"

Peter smiled again and took a look.

The palace has pens, but not enough paper.

He went out of the palace and asked the maid to bring more paper, and the maid brought it after a while.

Peter took the papers and closed the palace door, walked to the candles and sat down, holding the quill in one hand, pressing the paper with the other, and said:

"Ma'am, please."

Johanna froze for a moment, then her eyes widened in disbelief, first startled and then angry.

Then in the candlelight, those eyes became triumphantly charming.

Sophia didn't tie Peter?

It's so ridiculous that she is so beautiful in vain!
She recognized Peter with new eyes, thinking of the scene when she danced, her eyes converged in one place.

Then she took it off very quickly.

Peter ignored the 32-year-old woman's warm, inviting gaze and painted with a serious gaze.

all of these,
All for Russia!

One after another...

Peter demonstrates his amazing drawing skills, if you turn these pages quickly, you will find that it is a series of actions.

The burning candle dripped tears, and one drop fell on Peter's hand.

Just as the candle was about to burn out, Peter stopped.

He looked at Johanna, walked over and said:

"Madame, do you want a hundred thousand rubles from me, or do you want people to never ask you again?"

Johanna looked up at Peter with fiery eyes, come on, she's going to be burned to ashes.
