Although Zhuge Weidao knew that Nicholas I would approve his marriage to Natalie when he got the military advisor position. After all, the Ming Emperor was just a puppet, while the military advisors of the Zhuge family were real powerful figures who could control the politics of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Zhuge family has as many as ten or twenty military advisors, the wealth and power possessed by each of them will eventually exceed those of the monarchs of small countries in Europe.
Therefore, the marriage between Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can be said to be a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, with firewood and raw rice to cook the cooked rice... There is absolutely no need for Nicholas I to stop him anymore. If he stops him again, he just looks down on the Zhuge family. . Who dares to look down on Ming Dynasty’s actual first store? Therefore, after receiving the request from Zhuge Weidao and Natalie, he was ready to agree to the marriage. However, he did not announce it immediately, but first sent a special envoy to Ming Dynasty.
The reason for this arrangement was, of course, to wait for the British official announcement of the engagement of Princess Victoria and Grand Duke Alexander. After all, Victoria and Alexander were both still young and were not old enough to make firewood and cook raw rice into cooked rice. Therefore, Zhuge Weidao and Natalie's good deeds have not gone away, but Alexander and Victoria's good deeds are not certain... In case the British think that the Romanov dynasty married Ming Dynasty and Great Britain at the same time, it is two-stepping. If the ship refused to marry Victoria to Alexander, Nicholas I would suffer a loss.
Therefore, after Menshikov arrived in Beijing, he did not immediately announce the tsar's decision to recognize Zhuge Weidao and Natalie's marriage as legal. Instead, he waited for the British side to make an official announcement first.
A few days ago, Zhuge Weijiu and George Canning initialed the "Ming-British Agreement", which ended the previous two rounds of "small bets" and announced that Ming and Great Britain would not break up for the time being. But this agreement was, after all, a "confession agreement", which dealt a serious blow to the reputation of the British Empire.
In order to restore their reputation, George Canning and his Tories relaxed on Alexander and Victoria's engagement and made an official announcement.
Therefore, Menshikov received final instructions from Tsar Nicholas I just last night!
This announcement also means that all the children born to Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can be included in the Rakshasa royal family tree and ranked according to the order of inheritance (this family tree will be changed regularly to remove those who have lost the right to inherit. Join new people at the same time). Of course, Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can also decide to exclude one or more of their descendants from the Rakshasa royal family tree.
In addition, the "legal union" between Zhuge Weidao and Natalie also means that... Grand Duke Alexander has become his nephew, and Victoria may have become his nephew's wife.
From now on, everyone will be relatives!
Thinking that he was going to be a relative of Alexander II and Queen Victoria, Zhuge Weidao smiled even more happily. While smiling, he walked up to Zheng Yuhuan, glanced at "Sister Yuhuan" who was even more rosy after giving birth, and then stretched out his hand. He took over his eldest son. This is a mixed-race child who looks like a doll and is very lovable.
Zhuge Weidao hugged his eldest son and announced to Menshikov: "Lieutenant General, according to the agreement between Natalie Pavlovna and I, our eldest son will serve as her heir and inherit her power in Rakshasa. All properties and corresponding titles.”
Menshikov glanced at the child in Zhuge Weidao's arms: "Mr. Military Advisor, what is his name?"
"Yang De," Zhuge Weidao said, "the Rakshasa's name is Peter."
In theory, the method for naming the children of the Zhuge family is to draw lots - the unified character generation is determined by the ancestors, and the remaining character must be drawn by lot to avoid repetition.
In addition, this lot can be drawn before the child is born, and can be drawn as long as the wife or concubine is pregnant. If it is a girl, then return the drawn words. There is no need to name a girl according to her generation. There is much more freedom and it is not easy to repeat. You only need to check the genealogy before naming.
Of course, it is possible to cheat when it comes to drawing lots. Zhuge Weidao's eldest son, Yangde, asked for the word "德" from Zhuge Weijiu. But his second son who was born early was not treated so well. Zhuge Weidao also used Nalandili's belly to slap him, and he got the word "wave".
The eldest son "De", the second son "Bo"... They are really "good brothers of Bo"!
"Okay," Menshikov nodded and said, "I will convey your and the Grand Duchess's decision to His Majesty the Tsar."
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and said at this time: "Daozi, now you go with the Ai family to see your second son and Natalie... You have two sons, so you can't favor one over the other!"
Zhuge Weidao hugged his eldest son, with a look of fondness on his face, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's go and see it together."
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and nodded to Menshikov again, saying "Excuse me", then stood up and walked towards a side door of the lobby accompanied by two black eunuchs.
Zhuge Weidao held his beloved son in his arms and said with a smile as he walked: "I will not favor one over the other. The boss and the second are both my favorites."
In fact, Zhuge Weidao is already a bit biased... A pair of twins, the one born two months earlier is the younger brother, and the one born two months later is the older brother. Moreover, the brother who was born later was held in the arms of Zhuge Weidao, the father, not long after he was born. The brother who was born earlier is already two months old and has yet to see what his father looks like!
What's more, he is currently breastfeeding in the arms of an "Ocean mother" whom he has never seen before... The taste of the milk is not right! It has a bit of a tangy smell and is a bit greasy, but the amount is quite sufficient! Well, that "bag" containing milk is more than one size too big, so future rations are guaranteed!
Zhuge Yangbo, who had been starving for a long time, now feels like a mother if she has milk. He doesn't even pick his mouth and just sucks big mouthfuls. When his biological father Zhuge Weidao, Empress Dowager Zheng, and his brother Zhuge Yangde came into the house, they saw him lying on Natalie's chest, sucking milk. Even his biological father Mom didn't even say a word when she came.
Looking at Natalie who was feeding Zhuge Yangbo generously, Zhuge Weidao smiled and handed Zhuge Yangde in his arms to Natalie who was half lying on the back of the bed, "Dear, give it to me too." Feed the eldest brother a little, he’s hungry too... Look, he’s a little smaller than the second eldest son, he needs to eat more.”
Natalie's husband's words made her smile and said, "He just ate..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to take Zhuge Yangde's hand. Only when she took it did she realize that she only had one milk bag exposed, and the other one was still hidden in her pajamas. So he said to Zhuge Weidao: "My dear, do me a favor."
"Good luck!" Zhuge Weidao responded, went up and picked up Zhuge Yangbo who was nursing, and while hugging him, he said, "Second brother, let your brother eat some too, seeing that he is so small... ....”
Zhuge Yangbo was eating happily when someone suddenly took him away. He became angry and started crying angrily.
As soon as he cried, Queen Mother Zheng next to her became a little unhappy, and her mouth started to pout. But Zhuge Weidao didn't pay attention, he just looked at his "crying" son... This boy is not bad looking, with big eyes, big forehead, straight nose, white skin, but he is a bit fierce, and he is glaring He was crying loudly while holding his father in his arms - he couldn't speak, otherwise he would have been scolded.
"Hurry up and give me little Bobo!" Natalie was very maternal. While feeding her own son, she said to Zhuge Weidao, "Little Bobo is hungry, I will feed him... I have plenty of milk!”
Seeing that both brothers had drunk, Queen Mother Zheng's expression finally calmed down, and then she found a chair and sat down. She sighed and said: "Daozi, Natalie... these two children, how can you You have to take care of it! Especially your second son, the Ai family thinks he is very smart, and he will definitely be able to become a military advisor in the future. Daozi, what do you think? Can he be a military advisor?"
