When Samuel was educating Gelsen, Li Xiao, who was far away in Weimar, finally met his cheap aunt Maria Pavlovna.

This cheap aunt Li Xiao or the original Andrei Konstantinovich is very strange. Because this aunt not only lives in Weimar all year round, but rarely returns to Russia. And even if he returned to Russia, Li Xiao would not see him, because Nicholas I did not welcome this nephew to visit the Winter Palace.

What’s more, the royal family was originally indifferent, and coupled with not seeing each other all the time, naturally there was no emotion. The only thing that comforted Li Xiao was that his cheap aunt was still willing to see him. It was a bit rare to be honest.

Why do you say that? Because this time Li Xiao came to Weimar with a false identity, Maria Pavlovna could avoid seeing her, but she might offend her younger brother Nicholas I.

“Andre, why did you participate in these things?”

As soon as they met, Maria Pavlovna began to question Li Xiao. Probably in her opinion, Li Xiao shouldn’t run errands for the Duke of Alexander, this is too demeaning.

If you change to someone else and run into an aunt who hasn’t seen each other for many years, and then you will be taught as soon as you meet, you will be dissatisfied. But Li Xiao was different. He was not angry, or he did not put his emotions on his face.

Instead, he replied honestly and restrained: “Sorry, I worried you. You know, my situation in China is not particularly good. If I don’t want to find a job for myself, I’m afraid I won’t even have a life. Going down. No matter what, I can’t lose my father’s face and let the people outside read the jokes.”

While talking about Li Xiao while observing this cheap aunt’s expression, the skin on her face, which is over sixty years old, was drooping down. Even after applying a thick foundation, she could still see pitted pits.

Because of the acne relationship, Maria Pavlovna’s appearance has not been high since she was a child. Of course, it is more likely that her grandmother Ekaterina the Great was not a beauty in the first place, so she did not inherit anything. The gene of beauty.

Anyway, the former grand duchess’s appearance is very ordinary, she becomes more ordinary when she is older, and inherited the genes that Russian women are prone to gaining weight. She looks like a wine barrel in her sixties.

It’s just that although Maria Pavlovna’s face is not good, her heart is not too bad. She also sighed in response to Li Xiao’s explanation: “Nikola is still so stubborn. Brother’s aunt, even if the second brother’s actions back then were indeed a bit shocking, but how many years have passed, there is nothing to let go.”

Li Xiao knew that his first move was the right move. His honest attitude should have made the old lady accept him initially, and as long as he didn’t take the initiative to die, he should be able to pass.

Maria Pavlovna murmured a few more words, mostly about the domestic situation, such as the status of several nephews and nieces, but she didn’t ask much about her baby brother Nicholas I. This shows that she didn’t really like Nicholas I. But this is also easy to understand. Few people would like Nicholas I’s weird, paranoid and stereotyped personality.

What’s more, Maria Pavlovna had a very different personality from Nicholas I. One was obsessed with being a military judge and consolidating imperial power, while the other was fond of art and music. It can be said that one is dull and the other is vivid. Lively, it’s weird that two people with completely different personalities can have a good relationship.

It’s just that Li Xiao still underestimated his cheap aunt, because as long as she was born in the royal family, even if she was naive, she still had two brushes. For example, Maria Pavlovna immediately changed her conversation and asked. Road:

“I know your situation is not easy, but it’s too reckless to participate so hastily in this kind of thing. What would you think if you let your uncle know? Didn’t you make trouble with yourself on purpose!”

Without waiting for Li Xiao to explain, she continued to teach: “Moreover, you have also stirred up the Grand Duke. You don’t know that the political situation in Prussia is very unstable. Your cousin and cousin have just returned from the UK. Everything is unknown. , What should I do if something goes wrong at this time?”

Li Xiao sighed in his heart. He knows that the royal woman is amazing. Her aunt is also a shrewd character. Look at what he said, it looks like he is doing something urgently for him. But in fact, the meaning of what he said was not only hoping that he would work for the Duke Alexander not to implicate their home, but also to inquire about his tone, wondering what he intended to find Prince William.

Fortunately, Li Xiao is not a rookie either. He replied respectfully with a smile: “You are worrying too much. It is precisely because the situation in Prussia is unstable. Then the Duke of Alexander heard that Prince William had just returned to Prussia, so he hoped that I would go on his behalf. Regards. After all, Prussia is an important ally of our country. We were caught off guard by the incident before, and I am deeply sorry for not being able to provide any help to His Royal Highness.”

Li Xiao paused for a while, and before Maria Pavlovna could react, he said, “Now that His Royal Highness returns to China, the Duke hopes to strengthen contact and communication with His Highness. After all, whether it is Prussia or Austria, the rebellion is still rampant. It is very necessary to reach an agreement on how to suppress the rebel party. So that our two countries can cooperate sincerely to overcome this crisis.”

Maria Pavlovna stared at Li Xiao’s face steadily~www.wuxiax.com~ Especially staring at his eyes constantly exerting pressure, she thinks that someone should be relatively immature and should not be able to stand her Her oppression, but the result disappointed her. Someone can deal with it flawlessly, as shrewd and sophisticated as a skilled old diplomat.

This made her both disappointed and surprised. Although she does not go back to Russia often, the news there is still a little heard. At least the previous news about Li Xiao said that the cowardice and incompetence of this kid is useless, but how do you think today? Is it right? If this is all called useless, then what is useful?

Maria Pavlovna knew that her inherent impression must be a problem, and the domestic rumors about someone could not be believed in a single word, so she immediately adjusted her strategy and was no longer so aggressive. With a smile, he said gently:

“Alright, that’s fine. I don’t understand national affairs. Your uncle is not as old as he used to be. He can neither do anything nor have that energy… You can handle these things, anyway. Just don’t cause any trouble at all…”
