Carl Alexander fell into deep thought. It wasn't that he didn't believe Li Xiao's words, but that he still needed to digest the information, because he felt his mind was buzzing. It was obvious that the information overheated his brain, and there was a risk of a shutdown. .

It took him a while to digest all this, and then looked at Li Xiao suspiciously and said, "You trust me and my mother so much? Aren't you afraid that we won't be interested in what you said?"

Li Xiao smiled, because he knew that the poor kid was hooked, so he asked him this question, and his previous foreshadowing was considered a success.

"After all, we are a family, and we share a wide range of common interests. It is beneficial to both of us to unite with Prussia to suppress Austria, isn't it!"

Carl Alexander was speechless immediately. Although he knew nothing about politics, he still had a good understanding of his family's tendencies. Whoever made his two older sisters marry the two sons of Frederick William III could Said that their family had been tied to a Prussian chariot. It is impossible for them to remain indifferent to anything that is beneficial to Prussia.

Naturally, his clumsy temptation just now can only be laughed at, that is to say, Li Xiao knows that this guy really has no political sense, and it is rare to be able to make such a temptation, so he didn't laugh at him.

However, Karl Alexander's temptation had another effect, making Li Xiao very sure about Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach's tendency. As expected, this family shares weal and woe with Prussia. So it was a success to persuade the family to release goodwill to William I.

The facts were similar to Li Xiao's guess. After arriving in Berlin, he was placed in Karl Alexander's villa, and that family urgently contacted William I to discuss how to deal with the kindness of Duke Alexander and Russia.

It's just that things were a little unexpected. At this time, William I was not in Berlin, but went to Hamburg to inspect the army. Therefore, it was impossible for Li Xiao to negotiate with William I immediately. He had to meet those two cousins ​​first. Especially the most important second cousin Princess Augusta.

Speaking of which, the children of Archduke Karl Friedrich are really weird. His son Alexander is really insensitive and not interested in politics, but his two daughters are good at politics, especially when they married William. Augusta I, can be said to be a strong political woman, especially sensitive and interested in politics.

"Alexander, you said that the Grand Duke showed goodwill and sincerity to you, hoping that we can strengthen cooperation to deal with Austria?" Augusta asked imposingly.

Facing the second sister's question, Karl Alexander was a little... um, how should I put it? A little afraid to look straight,

Since he was a child, he was most afraid of this second sister, because this sister is too strong, with a strong desire to dominate or control, and she likes to give orders the most.

Sometimes Karl Alexander wondered how his equally fiery brother-in-law lived with this second sister. One of them is a torch and the other is a powder keg. Wouldn't it blow up at once?

Speaking of which, this is where Augusta is so powerful. This princess is strong when she should be strong, and tender when she should be tender. Wife, naturally William I still has to love his wife a little bit.

Of course, this set of tenderness is used to deal with her husband William I. For Augusta, dealing with her younger brother doesn’t need to be so troublesome. Who made this younger brother have no political level since he was a child? Ridiculous. So she was more strict than gentle towards this younger brother, and it was impossible to give him too much good looks, otherwise this guy would be even more inexplicable.

Facing the strong questioning from the second sister, Karl Alexander could only answer honestly and well-behaved: "Yes, the Grand Duke hopes that we will not misunderstand his intentions. He and the Duke Alexander he represents hope that we can work together to deal with it. Austria."

Augusta stared straight into Karl Alexander's eyes, as if trying to see through his soul. To be honest, Carl Alexander was really afraid of this kind of gaze. Every time he was stared at by the second sister, he felt that he was being targeted by a wolf or a poisonous snake, and he might be swallowed by the other party at any time.

But he didn't have the guts to move his eyes away, because when he was avoiding before, he was reprimanded by his second sister, which taught him to doubt life, because the second sister thought it was a sign of cowardice and weakness.

So he could only honestly meet Augusta's eyes and be stared at with hairs all over his body. It took a while for Augusta to look away contentedly, and suddenly he let out a sigh of relief: [I really scared the baby to death. up! 】

"It seems that what Alexander said is true," Augusta said calmly, "Mom, you also got in touch with the Grand Duke, how do you feel?"

Maria Pavlovna, who had been silent all this time, replied slowly: "My feeling? My feeling is that it is a shrewd little fox, especially good at playing tricks or tricks, what kind of sincerity and kindness It's just lip service!"

Augusta frowned and asked, "You mean he's not trustworthy?"

Maria Pavlovna shook her head and said, "That's not true. His intention of coming here should be true, and he should be here to express goodwill and discuss cooperation on behalf of Duke Alexander... Tsk, but I always feel that his The purpose will not be so simple!"

Augusta nodded slowly: "I understand, then do you think I should contact him first, and then find out why he came?"

Maria Pavlovna replied with certainty: "That's natural. This kind of big event must not be sloppy. But how to find out needs to be carefully planned. That little devil is very sensitive. Karl Alexander and I His behavior must have aroused his vigilance, it is not the best choice for you to test at this time, it is best to take it easy!"

"You're right!" Augusta agreed without hesitation, then turned her head and said to her sister Alexandra: "I can only let my sister deal with this brat first, you and Carl And Alexander went to entertain him first, you can try it out, but be careful, it's best to let him relax his vigilance!"

As mentioned earlier, Augusta’s sister, Princess Alexandra, also married into the Prussian royal family, but her sister Augusta married her brother William I, while her sister Alexandra married her brother Frederick .Charlie Alexander.
