Struggle in Russia

Prince Mikhail walked slowly on the red carpet, and every time he lifted his feet, he had to exert all his strength. The reason was very simple. The things he held in his hands were so heavy!

Please note that this is not metaphorical, it really weighed a thousand pounds on him. How much do you think about the weight of a pure gold ball studded with diamonds and a pure gold plate?

Anyway, it was hard for him to hold it with both hands, and he felt that his arms were so sore!

Not only was his arm sore, but he also found it difficult to breathe. The collar on the dress was buttoned too tightly, like a pair of iron arms tightly strangling his throat.

He desperately wanted to inhale, but the more he inhaled, the more he felt the lack of oxygen, and the waves of dull heat made his consciousness more and more blurred.

But he could only grit his teeth and hold on, he really hoped that all of this would end soon, because he couldn't hold it anymore!

Just when Prince Mikhail was crumbling, Menshikov, who was walking behind him, staggered and threw the plate in his hand, and the heavy scepter fell to the marble floor with a clang, scaring Prince Mikhail. jumped.

He suddenly turned his head to see what happened, but you also know that his condition is not very good, and this sudden turn made his brain lack of oxygen, and immediately his feet went limp and he passed out.

Li Xiao, who was standing in the crowd, could see clearly that the "old eunuch" must have been too tired, so he staggered and dropped the scepter.

Although this is impolite and unlucky, it is not easy for someone to persist for so long while dragging his body.

And Prince Mikhail must have suffered from heat stroke. You can see that his complexion showed a very unhealthy flush, and his chest heaved even more rapidly, obviously he was out of breath.

And this sudden situation also stunned the people in the church. The big guys didn't expect such an event at all, and there was no time to react!

After being silent for about two seconds, Queen Maria was the first to react. She calmly bumped the stunned Alexander II twice with her elbow, which brought him back to his senses.

"Quick! See how His Excellency is doing!"

At this time, the left and right guards swarmed up, some went to check on Prince Mikhail's status, and others hurriedly chased the golden ball that rolled down the steps.

Fortunately, the material of this thing is solid and the quality is good, otherwise Alexander II and Prince Mikhail would be even more embarrassed.

It took a while for Prince Mikhail to wake up. At this time, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. He bowed down in front of Alexander II with a face of shame, admitting his mistakes and begging for punishment.

To be honest, Alexander II is determined to kill Prince Mikhail at this time. The coronation ceremony he had carefully planned for so long was ruined like this. Isn't this giving him eye drops!

It's just that he knows that Prince Mikhail can't be punished, not only because of his seniority, high credit and great influence, but more importantly, the prince's brother, Duke Alexander, is watching from the audience. In any case, he has to give the foreign minister and the future internal decision. Let the Prime Minister save face!

Instead, Alexander tried to stay calm, and replied very calmly: "Prince, this is not a big deal. Although you fell down just now, you have always stood firm on the battlefield. This is the most important and worthy of respect." of!"

It should be said that Alexander II's response was fairly decent. If the matter ended here, it would be regarded as a successful rescue, but God seemed to be against him. As soon as his voice fell, the guards and the servants also sent The golden ball and the scepter were retrieved, but before the ceremony could continue, Menshikov also fell down.

Yes, the "old eunuch" couldn't hold on any longer. When he dropped the scepter just now, he was so frightened that his eyes went dark, thinking that it was all over this time. Fortunately, Prince Mikhail temporarily gave him a hand. His fall made everyone forget the "old eunuch" who made the mistake first.

Menshikov, who survived the catastrophe, felt chills coming from his back, and even felt that his hands and feet were not his own and he didn't obey orders. After taking two steps with the gold plate, he staggered and fell down again!

This time not only made him stunned, but also made Alexander II furious!

In fact, he was very dissatisfied with Menshikov's performance just now. Prince Mikhail is a bit hateful, but it was this old guy who made a mistake first. If he didn't drop the scepter, Prince Mikhail would not You will be startled, but naturally you will not faint.

Maybe he gritted his teeth and lasted until the completion of the ceremony, but his fall directly made everything come to nothing, and now that he fell once and then fell again, can you tell Alexander II not to be angry?

But what's the use of being angry?

Although Menshikov collapsed with a limp, he was a prince and a veteran after all. According to the old saying, there is hard work without credit. He couldn't really clean up such a veteran in such a situation where everyone was watching.

Therefore, Alexander II could only smash his teeth and swallow it~www.readwn.com~ He could only suppress his anger and ordered: "Help Your Excellency up quickly! You are not injured! Your Excellency has worked so hard, but there is nothing wrong with it." It's gone!"

After another flurry, Menshikov and Prince Mikhail were finally supported by the servants to the high platform, and the scepters and golden **** that they could not hold were also stabilized by the servants.

Only then did Alexander II take a sigh of relief. He felt that today's bad luck should be over, and there will be no more troubles in the future!

It's just that he was too happy too early, just after the Archbishop of Moscow prayed for him and Queen Mary as usual, and delivered the Tsar's crown to him to wear firmly on his head.

According to the procedure, the archbishop will also deliver the smaller Queen's Crown to Alexander II, who will crown Queen Maria.

Alexander II casually put the crown on Queen Maria's head, and then two maids stepped forward to pin the heavy crown on the bun to keep it stable.

It's just that Queen Maria just stood up when the heavy crown broke free from the pins and fell to the ground with a clatter! !

At that moment, the audience was completely silent, Li Xiao swore that he had never seen such a quiet place with so many people in his life. Queen Maria's face was pale, and Alexander II's face was ashen. As for the two poor maids, they were trembling with fear.

Obviously they are also aware of the seriousness of the problem. After all, they are not Menshikov and Prince Mikhail. They have neither hard work nor senior qualifications. Alexander II is sure to clean them up. Life should end early, maybe it will bring their father and brother into bad luck...
