Chapter 235

"Your Highness."

Several men and women wearing wigs and rococo costumes came out from the door from the palace to the courtyard.

"Queen Elizabeth wants to see you," said the leader, a woman in guard uniform.

Ekaterina came back to her senses, nodded, but paused, she said.

"If possible, help me customize a picture frame."

She looked at the drawing paper in her hand.

"I received a nice painting. If possible, please help me hire a painter. I want to learn how to draw."

The head female guard glanced at the picture scroll in Ekaterina's hand, then nodded.

"I'll arrange it."

Anyway, Ekaterina is also the future queen of this empire, and she can satisfy her simple requirements,
Ekaterina turned her head silently, and looked at the place where Shaar was standing before, with a glimmer of light in her eyes
. . . .

Xia Ya actually affected her fate just now, although her fate overlaps with Ekaterina's, no one knows what the future holds, and it would be more conservative to give a share of fate.

And the most important thing is that he will also gain more power of fate from the gift of fate. For such a good candidate, he doesn't need to spend much power of fate to give her extra power, so don't waste it.

Based on Shaar's understanding of the power of destiny during this period of time.

Shaar felt that there should be a statistic like "Legendary Degree" as a measure of the feedback of the power of destiny.

That is to say, what kind of legend the person endowed with destiny leaves in this world in his life, and how many people's destiny he affects, all determine the amount of destiny power to give back.

And as the emperor of an empire, even doing nothing is enough to leave a name in history, let alone the only emperor of this empire, so he can't let it go if he has the power of fate to make money.

Although this country is very close to Beichen, in fact, they are also very close to Europe and Britannia.

Moreover, in this era, Beichen is not the Qing Dynasty, but a powerful party, so it is this country that needs to be worried.

Although Xia is now more concerned about the progress of the entire civilization, it is undeniable that his roots are in China.

So he also has some biases towards Beichen. As Shaar said before, it is not a bad thing for a country to have enemies. The bad thing is to have no enemies.

If there is no enemy, the nation will lack cohesion and upward momentum, and there will be the possibility of self-disintegration from within.

The technology of artillery and firecrackers in the Ming Dynasty was not much inferior to that of the West, and the Qing Dynasty, which was able to fight against the Ming Dynasty for so long, naturally could not be a purely horseback nation, and they naturally could not have artillery technology.

But after entering the customs, it began to decay by itself.

Xia pushed open the castle door, and Alicia was already standing in front of the hearth, preparing lunch.

A large iron pot was placed on the Calcifer in the hearth, and the stew in the iron pot was boiling, the soup was bright red, and there were many things floating around.

That should be the characteristic borscht in Eastern Europe here.

Alicia scooped up a little soup with an iron spoon and blew it, then took a sip and nodded.

Seemingly noticing Xia Ya's return, she turned her head and smiled sweetly.

"I'm back, just in time, the soup is ready."

As she spoke, she held the handles on both sides of the pot with both hands, and put the pot on the table. Then she looked at the red cabbage soup and said.

"Calm down!"

As her words fell, the soup in the pot was no longer steaming, and there were even some smoothies floating in it.

"The beetroot soup is still delicious cold," Alicia said.

She scooped up a bowl for Xia and herself with a spoon, and put pan-fried tuna on one side.

"How is today?" Shaar walked to the dining table and sat down.

"It's okay, I took the students out of school today and went to the forest of Fairyland to find and identify magical creatures. It was very interesting." Alicia cut a piece of pan-fried tuna with a knife and fork and put it in her mouth, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Two mischievous students found two slugs and threw them into the female student's hat. The child jumped up and down in fright."

Xia smiled, and silently took a sip of the borscht.

The flavors of the borscht are rich, sour due to the presence of tomatoes and vinegar, and the original sweetness of beets, onions and cabbage blends with this sourness, and the addition of dill at the end adds a touch of lemon.

The dish uses sour cream to balance the flavors and visually add another luxurious texture.There are also beef, chicken, sausage, bacon and other meats in the main ingredients, which enhance the umami taste and enrich the taste.

It's comforting to drink in the summer when chilled.

"and then?"

"Isabel was very angry and threw the two naughty children directly into the slug hole." Alicia said, "Every slug there is this big."

She compared the size with her hands, and it was at least 20 centimeters.

"The two children stayed inside for 10 minutes, and when they came out, their faces were pale."

Alicia couldn't help laughing when she said this, the scene in the morning should be very interesting.

Shaar also showed a smile.

Xiaya is enjoying this way of getting along with Alicia very much now.

In relationships, there is a relationship called a symbiotic relationship, which is like a semicircle with a gap that meets a semicircle that can fill the gap, forming a complete circle, and no one can leave the other.

Generally speaking, when two people get along, at least it should be a "1+1=2" relationship, but the two people in the symbiotic state are "1+1=1", which means that the two people just form a complete person.

But that's not logical, and it's clear that something must be missing in the relationship.

The symbiotic relationship will develop very rapidly in the early stage, and both of them feel that they have found their ideal partner, and there is a feeling that "love is only perfect if you want it".

One party will gradually lose autonomy and rely on each other. In the early stage of the symbiotic relationship, both parties seem to be expecting each other.But as time goes by, dissatisfaction will gradually arise from the neglected parts of both of them.

This kind of relationship will not last long, but in fact, the vast majority of love in this world is this kind of symbiotic relationship.

And the true long-lasting love is two complete circles, that is, two complete people, reaching a relationship like 1+1=2.

Just like the current Alicia, she has her own job, her own friends, her own interesting things, and she doesn't have to be Char every minute of her life.

Whoever likes to do housework, whoever has time to do it, can do it, and share the story of one's day in the spare time after meals, which is very beautiful.

"Where did you go this morning?" Alicia asked.

"I went to draw a picture." Xia raised his hand, and the drawing board appeared beside them. The drawing paper that Xia had painted on the summer palace before was on the drawing board.

"How about it?"

Although Alicia is the princess, she has been blind for a long time and has not seen many paintings, but even so, she can feel that the painting is very good, and the prosperity of the summer palace can almost It was revealed in front of her eyes through this painting.

"This is where?"

"The Summer Palace was built by Peter the Great." Shaar said, "I also met an interesting person there, her name is Ekaterina."

"woman?"

"The wife of the Crown Prince of Tsarist Russia." Xia silently cut a piece of pan-fried tuna and put it into his mouth, "Can you believe it, Alicia. In the future, this country will enter another level under her control."

"I believe," Alicia said, "what you say always comes true."

"So, is that the one you chose?" she asked.

"Don't underestimate the people in this world." Xia said with a smile, "Even without me, the times will eventually create some legends."

"It looks like you have a crush on her."

"Her husband has mental and IQ problems. After Elizabeth's death, she has a great chance. She has a son of royal blood, which will be the legal principle for her to take power," Shaar said.

"Is she pretty?"

"Yes, she is beautiful." Xia Ya didn't seem to notice the interesting things in Alicia's words, "She has a pair of beautiful eyes, like the shore of Lake Baikal, and this will also become her capital."

"So, you were with her this morning?"

"more or less."

"alone?"

"She was left out by the royal family and lived alone in the Summer Palace."

Xia Ya didn't seem to notice this increasingly weird question at all, he silently took a sip of borscht, "She is very knowledgeable and has unique insights into politics and history, we chatted very well, it was a pleasant morning. "

"Did you enjoy being with me?"

Shaar stopped drinking the borscht and raised his head.

Alicia's expression didn't change.

She was handling the pan-fried tuna with a knife and fork, and the sharp blade struck the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.

Then, she inserted the fork into the fish and put it into her mouth.

Xia silently swallowed the bacon in his mouth...

She raised her head and looked at Shaar with some doubts.

"Why didn't you speak?"

"You are prettier than her." Xia Ya said seriously.

After a pause, he added, "I don't have a second heart either."

"I can prove that." Calcifer teased from behind.

Alicia put down the knife and fork, put her left elbow on the table, looked at him lazily with the back of her hand and teased.

"In fact, I never doubted these two points.

I never brag, but I think"

Alicia's eyes met Xia's eyes, her face was slightly red, her eyelids were slightly closed, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her slender eyelashes curled up, and her eyes were like water in the blink of an eye.

The bright red lips parted slightly, fingers rested on Shaar's chin, and lifted his head slightly.

"If I want to keep a man's heart, it shouldn't be a problem"

Xiaya felt that his breathing was slightly missing a few beats.

Alicia's personality is very quiet, it seems that because of her past life as a blind girl, she was able to adapt to such a dark and helpless world, and she became even more indifferent after recovering her eyesight.

Except for some occasions, Xiaya had never seen such a coquettish Alicia.

If it is an ordinary man, there is probably only one sentence in his mind now:
She was right.

"I have self-knowledge." Alicia said, "But, Char, you don't seem to have it."

She sighed softly and said, "Didn't you realize that most of your electives are female students?"

Xia murmured, "No wonder I have been hearing Abs complaining to me recently that my classes are hard to grab, so let me take a few more classes."

After a pause, he said, "I will pay attention to it later."

After a pause, he said, "But we may have to stay here for a while, Tony asked me to help him refine the Philosopher's Stone, it may take a while..."
