Augusta was a little at a loss, because the old mother’s words made her a little unconvinced and a little sad. Why, as the hostess and future queen, she can’t participate in government affairs. It is obvious that those rough and stinky men mess things up. Why can’t they be allowed to solve the trouble by such a shrewd and powerful woman who is good at reconciling everything? Just because they are male?

What made her even more dissatisfied was that these stinky men were unwilling to learn lessons and listen to the correct opinions, obviously, the situation had become a mess. Isn’t this just self-serving?

Augusta felt that if she was William I, she would not refuse to help, and would not refuse to listen to the right opinions…

But Maria Pavlovna stunned her back in one sentence: “The problem is, you are not William, and you are not the crown prince. You have no right to help him make decisions!”

Augusta suddenly stopped speaking. It was not that she stopped, but she knew that the old mother was right. She was not William I. She had no right to decide. Although she was 10,000 dissatisfied with it, There is no use for eggs.

After thinking for a long time, she sighed and asked, “Then what do you think I should do?”

“You don’t have to do anything, take good care of William, and less political affairs. The most important thing is to be like a wife!”

Augusta was silent again. In this regard, Maria Pavlovna could only sigh: “Augusta, you better position yourself, don’t always think about interfering in William’s decision. You know his personality. The more you point fingers, the more he hates you. You don’t want things to get worse, do you?”

Just as Maria Pavlovna was doing her daughter’s ideological work with her heart, the meeting between Li Xiao and William I also came to an end. Although the meeting was more tentative for both parties this time, both parties were more satisfied.

To William I, although Li Xiao looked like a hairy child, and it was a bit of despising him for such a stinky hairy boy as a special envoy, but in the specific meeting, Li Xiao’s maturity and shrewdness immediately dispelled him. Unhappy. This fully shows that the Duke of Alexander did not underestimate him by deliberately sending a mao boy to humiliate him, but indeed sent a strong envoy, which shows that he still attaches great importance to this meeting.

For Li Xiao, William I’s stubbornness certainly caused him a headache. It was really unbearable to have to repeatedly lobby and explain every detail. But this stubborn guy also has an advantage, that is, one spits and one nail, and there is no need to worry that this guy will be like Schwarzenberg’s old fried dough sticks.

Of course, this is only the first trial. How to achieve a favorable condition for both parties and how to operate it will take a lot of hands and feet. This is just a good start.

“It’s a very pleasant meeting with you. Although sometimes your youth makes me uncomfortable, I still have to admit that your outstanding ability has left a deep impression on me. I hope this is a good start. I hope we Able to reach an agreement that satisfies both parties!”

Li Xiao also replied politely: “His Royal Highness, you are also the most persistent and persistent gentleman I have ever seen…I am full of confidence in future cooperation and think we will definitely reach an agreement!”

After praising each other, the two shook hands and said goodbye. Naturally, Li Xiao continued to have a small meeting with Vishniak, and the one William I hurried home excitedly because Li Xiao brought it His news made him so happy.

“Nicholas, recently I have time to have more contact with Grand Duke Andre. Although the Grand Duke has some flaws in his identity, his ability is really fine. You should have a lot of topics in common when you two are similar in age. A good relationship with him is good for you! “

This Nicholas is naturally Frederick William Nicholas Karl, the eldest son of William I. To be honest, it’s enough for Hohenzollern’s family to have a name. Frederick William is a prescription. Anyway, nine out of ten in a family carry these two names. I really don’t want to be afraid of shouting a bunch of William. promise.

The future Hundred Days Emperor Frederick III was still a minor kid at this time. Born in 1831, he was one year younger than Li Xiao. Although this young man is young, his ability is not bad. As the only Prussian prince with a university education, as one of the three major army commanders in the Prussian-Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian Wars in the future, if this person had not got too bad luck with throat cancer, the future of the Second German Reich would probably not look like it. The dead end of World War I rushed.

Why do you say that? Because he is different from the stubborn Prince William I, because he has received higher education, he is more open-minded and good at accepting new things, especially because he married the eldest princess of Queen Victoria, so he is more influenced by the British. In terms of his preference for the constitutional monarchy and the middle class, it can be regarded as a breath of fresh air in the Hohenzollern family.

So although Frederick III respected his father very much, he did not fully agree with some of his father’s assignments and opinions, such as the conservative, stubborn and iron-blooded thoughts his father liked. He could not fully accept it.

At this moment, when I heard that the old father liked a young Russian grand prince, his first impression of Li Xiao was not particularly good. Because he felt that in a particularly conservative, backward and authoritarian country like Russia, the nobles at the level of the duchy were, needless to say, conservative in their minds, absolutely stubborn.

Especially considering that someone is under twenty years old, one can imagine how annoying such a “young and mature” guy is.

Anyway, Frederick III didn’t like Li Xiao subconsciously~www.wuxiax.com~ If it hadn’t been for William I to give an order and he had to obey, he didn’t want to see Li Xiao at all.

This is the harm of seeing people, talking people, seeing ghosts and talking nonsense. Although Li Xiao deliberately showed certain tendencies to cater to William I’s preferences, he would unknowingly offend Frederick III.

Fortunately, William I will have a long life in the future, and Frederick III almost died with his father. It is not a key issue to have an old man in his “short-lived” emperor.

Of course, Li Xiao would not do nothing stupidly. When he really felt the estrangement and alienation and the disgusting emotions from Frederick III, he would quickly change the concept of the prince and let him know What is meant by “people in Cao Ying, heart in Han”.

But this is all for the rest, because after William I returned home, another story happened between him and Princess Augusta…
