Struggle in Russia

Vishniak and Boris had a heated argument, but everyone could see that the two men were not really quarreling, but just a pastime.

St. Petersburg is not Bucharest. The pressure here is huge. If you want to quickly relieve the pressure, you have to find a few friends to hang out and drink together, or you can only make fun of each other.

Obviously, masturbation was not popular in this era. After all, the aristocrats had to pretend to be cool, so they could only act like a dog in a luxurious ballroom with a glass of red wine and pretend to be noble. Li Xiao and Boris were really not interested in that situation, so they could only chat with a few friends behind closed doors.

"Speaking of which, the only good thing about the Winter Palace is that there are many beautiful women!" Vishniak talked about his experience as an errand in the Winter Palace with great interest.

It's just that everyone knows that the focus of this man's attention is always women. In his eyes, there is nothing else except fat and thin beauties.

Boris immediately spat: "You kid knows how to look at women. The question is which of the women in the Winter Palace will look at you. I advise you to save your energy and do something serious!"

Vishniak chuckled and said contemptuously: "You underestimate me too much. So what about the Winter Palace? I am not bragging to you. As long as I raise my finger, the Grand Duchess will throw herself into my arms!"

Boris naturally didn't believe it. He admitted that Vishnyak was a bit handsome, but his handsomeness was nothing in St. Petersburg. He bluntly said that in the aristocratic circle, those who were more handsome and more prestigious than him were the most handsome. Well, with his virtue, he still seduces the Grand Duchess and brazenly says what will make the Grand Duchess fall into her arms. He is not a pig, how can he believe it!

"Stop bragging and please return it to the Grand Duchess. The only person who can take a fancy to you is probably an old monster like Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna!"

Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna is also the daughter of Li Xiao's cheap aunt Paul I. The Grand Duchess married the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and was already 69 years old in 1855.

More importantly, the Grand Duchess was so ugly. She had suffered from smallpox in her early years, and her face was covered in pockmarks, which was really a bit scary.

Because of the death of Nicholas I, the Grand Duchess also returned to St. Petersburg to attend the funeral and now often visits the Winter Palace.

Boris said that only the Grand Duchess could like Vishnyak, which was obviously a mockery. How could Vishniak be able to bear it? He retorted angrily:

"Nonsense, who would be involved with that kind of old monster! The one who flirted with me was Grand Duchess Irina Pavlovna, she is a first-rate beauty!"

As soon as Vishniak finished speaking, Li Xiao burst out,

Although this Grand Duchess Irina is his elder like the previous Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, personally he has completely different senses about these two people.

The grand duchess in front was indeed ugly and not close to Li Xiao. He had only seen her once since birth. As for the grand duchess Elena, although he didn't have much contact with her, she had been a close friend for a long time. He greatly admired the Grand Duchess's character and foresight.

Anyway, he didn't quite believe that Grand Duchess Elena would flirt with Vishnyak. After all, the age gap between the two parties was too big, and the Grand Duchess didn't seem to like a master who likes to eat young grass.

"Are you kidding me!" Boris also didn't believe it. "For Grand Duchess Elena to fall in love with you, a mountain cannon, and even flirt with you, you're probably just dreaming!"

Vishniak waved his fingers triumphantly and said with a smile: "Are you envious and jealous? Don't you believe it? Let me tell you, dozens of people saw this. The day before yesterday, the Grand Duchess came out from the Queen's house and said... I smiled gracefully and tutted, making those little brats envious..."

Vishniak's words were quite exciting and seemed to be true. However, Boris and Li Xiao still didn't believe it because this guy was a bit too narcissistic sometimes. It was possible that Grand Duchess Irina just smiled casually and then He just made up his mind and flirted with each other.

However, Li Xiao's focus was not here, but on Grand Duchess Irina looking for the Queen. You must know that although Alexander II's relationship with Queen Maria Alexandrovna was not particularly good. But he still relies more on this queen. After all, his father cherished this daughter-in-law, which indirectly helped him succeed to the throne.

Moreover, the queen has a relatively good view of the overall situation and can always give Alexander II pertinent advice at critical moments. Therefore, Alexander II will often ask the queen for her opinion when he is unsure about something.

Grand Duchess Irina went to see the Queen at this time, and according to Vishnyak, they talked for a long time, which is very worthy of attention: What did they talk about?

It's a pity that even the best third-part spies can't get close to the Winter Palace. Li Xiao really doesn't have the ability to find out this information. However, Vishniak gave him a surprise: "What did we talk about? It's not about reform. Grand Duchess Irina went to persuade the queen, hoping that she would persuade her majesty to start the reform process as soon as possible, but the queen didn't seem to agree. …”

Li Xiao was surprised: "How do you know so clearly?"

Vishniak chuckled and replied proudly: "I've told you, I am a lover, and there is no woman I can't handle!"

Boris asked blankly: "Have you taken care of the Queen? Can Your Majesty spare you?"

Vishniak glared at him angrily and said angrily: "You are stupid! I have nothing to do with any queen. I told you that Grand Duchess Irina flirted with me..."

But before he finished speaking, Li Xiao exposed him directly: "Did you manage the queen's maid?"

Vishniak was stunned, looked at Li Xiao blankly and asked, "How did you know?"

This time it was Li Xiao's turn to burst out laughing. He still didn't understand this old friend. He did have a way to deal with women, but it was only for women whose status was not too high. Levels like the Queen and Grand Duchess Irina were not suitable at all. Maybe it was a shame for him, but at most he could only deal with the maid next to the queen. Please note that she was a maid and not a female officer. After all, the latter was at least a count and a marquise, and she also looked down on people like Vishniak.

Only a young waitress with a very average status could possibly pull off this playboy's tricks, and as expected, this guy was pretty quick to do it.

Vishniak sighed and said: "Yes, Miss Maria Nikolayevna is very interesting to me. If she hadn't been waiting for the queen to watch the show today, how could I have accompanied you two mountain cannons here?" Grind your teeth!" 4255/11086699
