Maria Pavlovna was very dissatisfied with Karl Alexander's performance. She felt that the latter was too naive. How could he speak so casually and casually? Fortunately, this is a private chat. If it is placed on a serious diplomatic occasion, it will cause big things.

But now the whole of Europe is not peaceful, and his old father's health is getting worse day by day, which means that many things must be handed over to him. But regarding his childish behavior, Maria Pavlovich was really worried!

She glared at Karl Alexander without leaving a trace, showing her dissatisfaction to the fullest, which surprised the latter, because his old mother really rarely showed such obvious dissatisfaction, more often Patiently persuade education.

Carl Alexander was a little nervous, he began to recall every word he said from just now, trying to find the problem. It's just that, for the steel straight men in Germany, this is really too embarrassing for them. He thought about it for a long time and didn't think he said anything wrong.

Naturally, this expression couldn't hide from Li Xiao's eyes, and he couldn't help being a little amused: [The future Grand Duke of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach is really a mallet, and his thinking doesn't turn around. Look at your old mother! Hurry up, fortunately you are in your thirties, otherwise you would have to be spanked at night. 】

Although he was a bit gloating, Li Xiao knew that he was also asking for help from others. Whether his mission could go smoothly had a lot to do with the mother and son in front of him, so let's quickly smooth things over and change the topic!

"Let's not talk about these headaches. Dealing with these annoying problems every day is enough to make me exhausted. Sometimes I want to escape all these troubles and listen to an opera and dance a waltz. Those beautiful melodies And the beautiful dance always makes me relax a lot!"

As he spoke, he turned to Liszt and Wagner: "Dear gentlemen, do you have any masterpieces recently? I can't wait to enjoy them!"

Maria Pavlovna finally breathed a sigh of relief. After being interrupted by Li Xiao, the topic naturally turned to music. Both Liszt and Wagner are masters in this field. It is also at a high level in the clouds. In future generations, Li Xiao will definitely show off to his friends: "I have heard the live version of Liszt and Wagner, envy!"

In addition to being slightly relieved, Maria Pavlovna became more and more worried. Before that, her idea was to ask Karl Alexander to find out Li Xiao's tone and details. She felt that her precious son had already passed away. I'm in my early thirties and I've been through it for so long, there's no reason why I can't deal with a short winter melon who is eighteen or nineteen years old.

But now she thinks that Carl Alexander is going to test Li Xiao's tone. I am afraid that only the food delivery is possible. The level of the two parties is very different.

The short winter melon can unilaterally slap the tall, rich and handsome, okay?

If he failed to find the bottom and instead exposed his hole cards, wouldn't he want to cry without tears?

But Maria Pavlovna didn't hesitate for too long, because she immediately remembered that Karl Alexander didn't know their family's hole cards. The poor kid actually didn't know anything. Intuition is just doing things.

This made Maria Pavlovna a little more relaxed. At least she could comfort herself that it wasn't that Karl Alexander was too stupid, but that their parents didn't tell the unlucky child the truth.

So Maria Pavlovna decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Karl Alexander later, she can't let this poor little man continue to be confused, she must let him know the seriousness, otherwise how dare she hand over the family business to him in the future ah!

At this moment, Karl Alexander didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and didn't know that he was almost labeled stupid by his old mother. He still talks and laughs freely as usual, showing off his advantages as a son to his heart's content.

What advantages does the son and brother have? The biggest advantage of the son is that they never need to worry about survival, so they have a lot of time and energy to focus on non-survival skills, such as so-called hobbies such as music, dancing, equestrianism, and tennis.

In this regard, Karl Alexander is much better than Li Xiao or Li Xiao's predecessor, Andrei Konstantinovich. Because Li Xiao's predecessor basically didn't receive much aristocratic education, maybe he understands the most basic ones, but the ones that cost a lot of money and waste energy, a certain grand duke really can't do it.

For example, in music, the level of a certain Grand Duke is that he can understand the staves. As for playing the piano or violin, he really doesn't understand or can't. Because Andrei Konstantinovich could neither afford a piano nor a violin, let alone a teacher.

But Karl Alexander is different, he is not short of money at all, and there were a lot of musicians in Germany at that time, such as Liszt, Mozart, Schubert, Haydn, Wagner all gathered here . Makes you wonder if these Austrians put all their talents on music.

So when the topic of music was changed, Carl Alexander had an opportunity to perform. When the conversation got hot, he could follow Liszt to play a piano piece, or simply play a piano and violin ensemble with Wagner.

And a certain Grand Duke can only look at it and laugh awkwardly, because he basically doesn’t know any musical instruments. He just learned the guitar for two days when he was in college in the previous life to pick up his sister. He can’t hold the guitar and play two tigers at this time. Bar?

Maria Pavlovna also saw Li Xiao's embarrassment. On the one hand, she was very pleased that her son's aristocratic education was successful, so she wouldn't be like someone who could only laugh and applaud in such a situation. On the other hand, she was vaguely distressed, because seeing Li Xiao's embarrassment, she couldn't help but think of her second brother.

Back then, her second brother was also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he could play the piano and waltz well, and he could be called a girl killer in romantic situations. It's a pity that because of leaving too early and too hastily, this poor nephew became a child without a father and could only be bullied. It is conceivable that if the second brother is still there, it is more likely that the cousins ​​Karl Alexander and Li Xiao are playing together on this occasion. Such a scene should be more beautiful and comfortable!

Maria Pavlovna's thoughts suddenly drifted to the distance. She thought of St. Petersburg, the Winter Palace, and the family relationship when her father and elder brother were still alive. At that time, no one could have imagined This is what the future looks like...
