Catherine almost laughed out loud when she saw Elizabeth's disdainful gaze and Peter's expression.
Just like what Qin Jun often said in Germany, there was no harm without comparison.
Compared to Qin Jun, Peter was simply useless!
Don't use your status to talk about things.
Catherine roughly knew how rich Qin Jun's background was. In the future, after destroying the Qing Kingdom, he would definitely become an overlord.
What did Peter have?
A good-for-nothing who was not good at literature and martial arts still wanted to be the emperor of Russia?
Dream on!
Elizabeth could also see Peter's dissatisfaction and knew that his gaze was a little too much.
No matter how incompetent Peter was, he was still the crown prince of the Russian Empire.
"Mr. Qin is indeed the youngest Nobel Prize winner. There shouldn't be many people who are better at learning than you.”
" Let me introduce you. This is the Prime Minister of the Privy Council, Count Volentsov…"
"Hello, Earl."
Qin Jun stretched out his hand in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
After a round of introductions, it finally came to Peter and Catherine.
Before Elizabeth could speak, Peter introduced himself politely.
"Peter Fyodorovich, Crown Prince of the Russian Empire!”
"I admire Mr. Qin's deeds very much. If you encounter any difficulties in investing in Russia in the future, you can come to the palace to find me.”
Err...
Looking for you?
Who do you think you are?
Qin Jun nodded with a fake smile.
"First of all, I have to thank Your Highness for your appreciation, but I may have to decline your kindness.”
"Oh, why?"
Peter was surprised!
In Tsarist Russia, which merchant would not want the protection of the royal family?
Elizabeth and the others also looked at Qin Jun in confusion. They did not understand why he refused Peter's help.
"The reason why I politely declined Your Highness is because I follow the spirit of relying on myself in everything. When I encounter difficulties, I will think of a way to overcome them." Qin Jun smiled.”
"Relying on the help of others saves time and effort, but over time, it's easy to wear out the fighting spirit.”
After his inspirational and positive words, everyone present was convinced.
It seemed that Qin Jun was not lucky to have billions of assets at the age of 20.
Peter was speechless.
Peter, who thought he was better than Qin Jun, was stunned.
I'm just being polite. Do you have to do that?
Alright, you're the best.
"Mr. Qin's character is worth learning from.”
Sensing that Queen Elizabeth was looking at him again, Peter immediately responded and retreated to the back without saying anything else.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Catherine, who was very observant, came out to warm up the atmosphere.
"Mr. Qin, I'm Catherine Alexeyevna, formerly known as Sophia. Augustus is also from Germania. Do you remember me?”
"I remember!"
Qin Jun's acting skills exploded as he asked in surprise,""Sophia, why did you change your name?”
Ugh!
Catherine was stunned by Qin Jun's acting skills.
Soon, she recalled the plan she had discussed with Qin Jun before she left and immediately adjusted her state of mind.
"I was lucky enough to be chosen by Her Majesty the Empress to become the fiancée of Crown Prince Peter. I changed my name because I followed the Orthodox Church.”
"I see. Congratulations!"
Listening to their conversation, Elizabeth asked curiously,""Mr. Qin, do you know Catherine?”
That was strange!
After choosing Catherine, she specially asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to investigate everything about Catherine since she was young.
There was no information about Catherine and Mr. Qin.
It would be strange if they could find out. Sophia's snobbish mother had been trying to prevent them from contacting each other since they were in Paris. Therefore, the two of them met secretly, and few people knew.
After knowing Sophia's true identity, Qin Jun asked the Dark Team to clean up the traces so that nothing would go wrong.
"Your Majesty, His Highness and I met in Paris, and we ran into each other a few times when we returned to Germany. I didn't expect to meet you here.”
" Your Majesty," Catherine explained," when I was living in Paris a few years ago, I happened to meet Mr. Qin, who came to Paris to receive the Nobel Prize. Who wouldn't want to meet the youngest Nobel Prize winner?"”
"Unfortunately, Mr. Qin is too popular. If I hadn't bumped into him twice on the streets of Berlin last year, Mr. Qin probably wouldn't have remembered me.”
So that was how it was!
Elizabeth and the others believed this.
Thanks to Qin Jun and Catherine's acting skills and the fact that there were no flaws in their words, it would have been troublesome otherwise.
The fact that they knew each other was also deliberately revealed by Qin Jun.
Because there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world.
If Elizabeth knew about them but pretended not to know them…the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Since Mr. Qin and Catherine know each other, there's no need for me to introduce you. The banquet is ready, please follow me.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Jun thanked her and walked into the banquet hall with Queen Elizabeth.
Seeing that Qin Jun was walking side by side with the Empress, Voroshilov whispered to the Prime Minister, Voroxov,""Does Qin Jun not understand etiquette, or does he not put the Empire in his eyes?”
"I don't understand."
Having been in politics for his entire life, Volenzov was now the prime minister of the Russian Empire. He had seen all kinds of people in his life and had a lot of experience.
However, he could not understand Qin Jun!
At first glance, this young man from the Qing Kingdom, who came from Germany, gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
However, his instincts told him that Qin Jun was in danger.
Where did the danger come from?
Volentsov was puzzled.
"Even you, Mr. Count, can't understand it?" Voroshilov asked in surprise.”
"Indeed, I don't understand. This is because Qin Jun seems to be a gentle and polite person, but I always feel that he is a venomous snake that is well disguised.”
With that, Volenzov strode into the banquet hall, leaving Voroshilov in a daze.
Could it be that Qin Jun came to Russia with another purpose?
What was his motive?
Unable to come up with a reasonable guess, Voroshilov could only walk into the banquet hall with questions.
The banquet hall decorated in Russian style was very luxurious, and the dining table and cutlery were so exquisite and expensive that even Qin Jun, who was used to seeing the world, was speechless.
It was either made of gold or silver, and there were even gems embedded on it.
The gold and silver gems sparkled under the reflection of the crystal chandelier!
The palace servants who had a unified system were also young girls, very pleasing to the eye.
It was no wonder that from ancient times until now, anyone who had the slightest idea would fight to be the emperor.
When he woke up, he was in charge of the world, and when he was drunk, he lay on the knees of a beauty.
No one could resist this fatal temptation.
