Chapter 95: Trip to St. Petersburg

"If the earth is missing, everyone will turn as usual, and everyone will rise as usual when the sun is away!"-Quotations from the Demon King

With the birth of a new cabinet government, Bulgaria continues to run on the highway.

The party leaders Cassidon, Charles and others who failed in the general election could not bear the pressure of all aspects and chose to go abroad one after another. Upon receiving the news, Ferdinand laughed. The few bereaved dogs in the mere tract are not worthy of his attention.

Just after dealing with domestic affairs, Ferdinand’s trouble came to his door. "Blind date" is a very cruel topic, especially right~~ (I can't stand it, single dogs write this is just asking for sin! You can imagine the shadow area in the author's heart now!)

Before crossing, Ferdinand did not go to blind date less. The house, car, ticket... are all serious problems. What's better than ordinary people is that Ferdinand was an orphan in his previous life, and his mother-in-law required the death of both parents. Up.

So Ferdinand was a single dog before crossing. Since there are no parents and rely on their own efforts, the house and car naturally do not exist. The ticket is barely self-sufficient, and it must not meet the requirements!

Repeated battles, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, and suffered severe blows. The previous life Ferdinand suffered from "blind date phobia". After crossing, it will be much better. The original owner grew up with a golden key, house, car, okay~ Ferdinand doesn’t know how many there are now, anyway, it’s a lot, and of course no one mentions it to him. .

The thing of "love" is also farther away from him. Now the first thing to consider is "identity", and then "politics". Ferdinand has now given up. Sooner or later he wants to get married, so he simply sells himself for a good price.

Anyway, it is an open secret for the European nobles to raise a lover. Raising him ten or eight is a compensation for himself. Marriage can be respected and inherited from generation to generation.

Well, Ferdinand admits that he is deceiving himself. A marriage without affection, if the partner is a beautiful woman, that is not to be considered; if it is ~~~ (forget it, stop here, write me again~~)

On December 5, 1892, Ferdinand, at the urging of his mother, Princess Clementina, led a team of people and finally set foot on the road to St. Petersburg.

was invited to go to Russia for a state visit. Believe it or not, I believe it. This is the relationship between a state visit and a blind date without a dime.

As for why the invitation to the ball was received, it must have been a mistake on the part of the Czarist Russia. As you know, the Czarist Russian bureaucracy often has problems, and a little omission is normal.

With a nervous mood, Ferdinand entered St. Petersburg, Russia in winter is so **** cold. The vast white snow covered the city, and with curiosity, Ferdinand had just put his head out of the carriage, and the cold blew on his face and the biting wind. But in an instant, Ferdinand felt that his cheeks were no longer his own, and quickly retracted his head.

At this moment, Ferdinand had to admire the resilience of the Russians. St. Petersburg has only two seasons in winter and summer, four months in summer, and eight months in winter. After living in such a harsh climate for a long time, Tsarist Russia has not moved its capital.

You must know that in Russia’s vast land, there are countless places where the climate is better than St. Petersburg. There are almost any climate. However, in order to strengthen the control of this country and maintain political influence in Europe, even the tsar aristocracy and ordinary people did not pay attention to moving the capital.

The cruel environment has tempered the resilience of the Russians, and the fighting nation is not built. In the past hundred years, no matter how the world changes, Russia has always stood firm.

Entering St. Petersburg, Ferdinand and others held a grand welcoming ceremony. Crown Prince Nicholas and his wife personally took charge of the reception.

After reading the reception specifications, Ferdinand knew that this was done according to the rules of the nobility. Ferdinand's coming this time not only represented the Bulgarian royal family, but also the face of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family. Obviously the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family deserves the attention of the Nicholas family, and they are the most prosperous families in Europe. If the principle of reciprocity in diplomatic relations is really followed, then the person who has come forward to receive is a grand duke.

European aristocrats have broken bones and connected tendons, and the messy relations between relatives are unclear how to deal with them. In order to protect the blood and dignity, there are only a few that can marry each other, and they can't avoid them.

The weather in St. Petersburg is terrible, with a low temperature of minus 20 or 30 degrees. Ferdinand and Princess Clementina are not cold-resistant creatures. They hid indoors, except for necessary visits. Do not go out.

"Ferdinand, when is this **** weather in St. Petersburg, when is he tall?" Princess Clementina said with emotion

Ferdinand rolled his eyes. In the past few days, he didn't know how many complaints he had heard from his mother. He said weakly, "Probably half a year! You know there are eight months of winter in St. Petersburg, UU How long has it been reading ? Just leave it alone, anyway, we will leave before the summer!"

"Oh, God, forgive me! This **** horrible weather! Ferdinand, we shouldn't come now, I would have chosen summer if I knew it was so cold! No, you should let you come by yourself, you are already an adult People, you can be independent!" Princess Clementina continued to complain

Ferdinand looked at the gloomy Princess Clementina, and said to himself: "I don't know who said that he likes snow before, and he wants to spend Christmas in a country of ice and snow, and hurriedly urged to go on the road. Now the snow is better. It's all over the street, it just freezes people into popsicles!"

Of course, Ferdinand will always be a good son, at least his mother will never do it hard. Comfortingly said: "Don't worry, my mother! I'm already thinking of a way to reduce the travel time in St. Petersburg as much as possible, and strive to leave this ghost place as soon as possible!"

"This kind of nonsense, you are talking every day! Let me believe you once and tell you-Ferdinand, if you dare to lie to me, you have to consider the consequences for yourself!" Princess Clementine threatened fiercely

Ferdinand can only smile awkwardly, God knows when this ball is. A week after arriving in St. Petersburg, Ferdinand did not participate in all kinds of dances, but the "blind date dance" was missing. This is when Alexander III married his daughter. When did others say that, Ferdinand still knows the rules anyway, just wait honestly!

Now in Gatchina Palace, Alexander III is discussing with Queen Maria Feodorovna. Regarding Ferdinand, whether he was born or personal ability, they are recognized, but to become his son-in-law, then naturally it is another set of standards.
