In the banquet hall of the Klimlin Palace.
As it was a last-minute reception banquet decided by Elizabeth I, there were not many people attending the banquet. Other than the useless Crown Prince Peter and four or five other members of the royal family, the others, such as the Prime Minister of the Privy Council, Minister of Finance, Minister of Industry and Commerce, Yaroslav, and Minister of Military, Voroshilov, also attended the banquet.
These nobles and ministers all had a grudge against the empress's orders.
Since when was a Qing merchant worth such a large army?
The most dissatisfied person was Crown Prince Peter.
He, who had an impetuous nature, followed Queen Elizabeth and stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, waiting for Qin Jun's arrival.
After waiting for ten minutes, she was already a little impatient.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to lower yourself to receive a Qing citizen?”
The 35-year-old Elizabeth I, with her voluptuous figure and beautiful face, turned to look at her nephew Peter with a hint of dissatisfaction.
In fact, Elizabeth was very disappointed with this nephew of hers because Peter looked very thin, sick, and unhealthy.
However, due to the lack of children, he could only be crowned as the crown prince two years ago and found the best teacher for him. However, Peter was lazy and indifferent to the surrounding things. He was also pompous and vain.
In this way, Peter studied under the guidance of the teacher for two years, but he did not make any progress. He did not even master Russian.
Elizabeth was extremely disappointed in him.
Fortunately, Catherine, Peter's fiancée, was very smart. Her views on the international situation and ideas of governing the country were even better than those of the Privy Council.
When he died, Peter would have Catherine's help and should be able to control the Russian Empire.
Thinking of this, Queen Elizabeth looked at Catherine, who was waiting quietly at the side.
Seeing that she was not in a hurry, he could not help but be even more satisfied.
Forget it, Catherine is already 15 years old. Let Peter get engaged as soon as possible! If he got married and had children as soon as possible, he could also personally nurture the future heir of the empire.
"Peter, you are the crown prince of the empire, the next emperor of the Russian Empire. You have to learn to rope in anyone who is useful to the empire.”
"Mr. Qin is not an ordinary Qing citizen. You are 16 years old this year. Can you be like Mr. Qin, master a few foreign languages at the age of 15, enter Heidelberg University, and win the Nobel Prize at the age of 16?”
"No, you can't. Even the younger generation of the world doesn't have this ability.”
Peter was speechless.
I'm just complaining. Is there a need to scold me like this?
Peter was not stupid. He was just lazy and liked to play tricks. How could he not know that Queen Elizabeth was comparing him to Qin Jun?
He really wanted to ask Elizabeth if Qin Jun and he were comparable.
I am a noble white man, the grandson of Peter the Great, the future emperor of the Russian Empire.
What about Qin Jun?
At most, he was just a clever Qing citizen.
One's birth determined one's status. No matter how hard Qin Jun tried, he could not get rid of his identity as a lowly Qing citizen.
Of course, Peter, who was a little twisted in his mind, only dared to complain in his heart, but he looked like an obedient baby.
Peter even hated Catherine, the fiancée that Elizabeth had chosen for him.
The reason was very simple. Catherine was very smart. She had never been to Russia, but she could speak fluent Russian. She also had unique insights into politics and economy, which made Queen Elizabeth and the ministers praise her.
Comparisons were infuriating, and goods were better than goods!
In the past month, whenever he had dinner with Queen Elizabeth, she would discuss political affairs with Catherine.
Peter, who knew nothing about politics and economy, and didn't even understand Russian, could only be an invisible person beside him.
The rising jealousy made Peter hate Catherine and reject this fiancée who was better than him.
Now, there was another person he hated, and it was the Qing people he looked down on the most.
Peter, who was full of resentment, glanced at the confident Catherine. When he thought of marrying Catherine, he wished that his aunt, Queen Elizabeth, would die as soon as possible.
After Elizabeth died, he would be crowned as the next emperor of Russia. The first thing he would do was divorce Catherine.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin has arrived."
Everyone with different thoughts waited for about ten minutes before the head guard walked over and reported softly.
Elizabeth adjusted her gorgeous robe and looked at the corridor.
Catherine, who was standing behind her, also craned her neck. Her eyes were filled with longing.
Soon, footsteps could be heard, and Qin Jun's tall figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
Qin Jun walked in the center position with Dmitry Yaroslav and the others on both sides.
Queen Elizabeth's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Jun for the first time. An ancient poem about planting flowers appeared in her mind.
The people on the streets are like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world!
Handsome, strong, unlike any Qing people he had seen before. Whether it was his appearance, figure, or temperament, they were all too unique.
In front of them, Qin Jun, who had transmigrated to a parallel world for twenty years, was also seeing the empresses and kings of Ou Zhou for the first time.
Upon closer inspection, Elizabeth's body and skin were well maintained, giving her the charm of a young woman.
"Mr. Qin, welcome to Moscow!”
"To be able to receive Her Majesty the Empress, I am truly flattered and honored!”
She shook Qin Jun's hand gently and smiled.""Mr. Qin's Russian is very fluent. If it wasn't for the difference in skin color, I would have mistaken you for a Russian.”
Of course!
At the mention of Russian, Qin Jun winked at Catherine!
He taught Catherine Russian.
At that time, he didn't know Catherine's true identity. He only thought that she was the descendant of a fallen noble living in Paris.
It was not until a month ago that he remembered Sophia. Wasn't Augustus the German name of Empress Catherine before she changed her name?
"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself, Your Majesty. I studied Russian for half a year when I was fifteen, and my pronunciation was not very standard.”
Self-study for half a year?
The moment these words were said, everyone present was extremely surprised.
He had only studied for half a year, and he was already on par with the Russians who had spoken Russian for most of their lives? Unbelievable!
Elizabeth subconsciously turned to look at Peter…
At the same age, why was Peter still unable to master Russian despite having a famous teacher to tutor him for two years?
Peter was speechless.
Why are you looking at me? You guys can chat, what has it got to do with me?
