Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Li Xiao didn't know that his marriage had attracted the attention of Alexander II. He only knew that old Igor was now surrounding Miss Dovelia. The more he looked at her, the more satisfied he became with her. He felt that no matter her appearance, Both family background and character are good candidates.

If possible, he would like the two of them to get married immediately!

However, Li Xiao did not have this intention. Although he had been in contact with Miss Victoria for a period of time, he found that this lady was quite different from ordinary aristocratic ladies. She did not have their pretentious and spendthrift character at all.

This lady is very down-to-earth, and of course she will try her best to maintain the dignity of the upper class while being down-to-earth.

In short, she is generous and meticulous and doesn't have those messy bad habits.

Among the aristocratic ladies that Li Xiao has come into contact with, she is indeed the most outstanding one.

It's just that it's not enough to talk about marriage or love. The most important thing is to have feelings. At least two people can talk and communicate in depth.

In this regard, Victoria is just a little bit behind!

She is still very wary of Li Xiao. She always keeps a considerable distance when dealing with Li Xiao. It is obvious that she is on guard against Li Xiao.

As for Li Xiao, he is already busy with work every day and does not have much time to communicate with Victoria.

In this short period of time, the two of them were still keeping a distance and dealing with each other on airs. How could they possibly get close?

Anyway, more than half a month has passed, and the relationship between Victoria and him has not changed much. The other party calls him His Excellency the Grand Duke, and he calls her Miss Victoria. Even when they dance together, the distance is like a Milky Way.

What's more, Li Xiao didn't have much interest in getting married. He just wanted to be clean for a few years. Besides, he had a lot of work and things to do during the day, so naturally he didn't care about it at all.

If a man and woman want to become lovers or husband and wife, the most basic need is to be able to get close together, and even do this... ?

If not, natural marriage will be out of the question.

This state naturally makes old Igor anxious and angry. He whispers in Li Xiao's ear almost every day: "Be more proactive! My Grand Duke, you have to be more proactive! You can't let this young lady take the initiative!"

Li Xiao just wanted to say haha.

He has no interest in this at all, how can you ask him to take the initiative?

But he really couldn't stand the nagging of old Igor, so he could only cope with it reluctantly: "Okay, I will try to take the initiative. What do you think about me bringing a bouquet of roses to the lady when I come back in the evening?"

Old Igor looked at him speechlessly and said: "Is this what you call taking the initiative? I want you to take the initiative to approach Miss Victoria. It is best to take the initiative to care about Miss Victoria instead of a bouquet of broken flowers! If you follow my instructions If you ask for it, you can win her heart without those broken flowers. On the contrary, it is meaningless even if you give Miss Victoria a flower garden!"

Li Xiao held his forehead and sighed. In his previous life, he was single and had no experience in how to pick up girls. Who would have thought that in the ancient times of arranged marriages, he would still have to worry about picking up girls.

What the hell kind of ancient time is this! Totally unreasonable, okay!

But he didn't dare to complain to old Igor, so he could only force a smile and said: "I also want to care about Miss Victoria, but you also know that I am busy! The situation is complicated now, and there are all kinds of messy things..."

Who would have thought that old Igor would not accept this at all? He interrupted without hesitation: "These are all excuses. If you really like a girl, then you can overcome any difficulties! From now on, I don't want to After listening to your complaints and nonsense, I have only one request - impress that lady right away and make her agree to marry you!"

Now Li Xiao is confused. He has no idea about this at all. Isn't this forcing others to do something difficult?

Just as he was about to bargain with old Igor, he heard the concierge coming over and announcing: "Master, the Minister of Palace Affairs is here, and he wants to meet with you immediately!"

Li Xiao was stunned, because he and old Adler...?

Greg really didn't have any social contacts. When he was standing guard at the entrance of the Winter Palace, the old man didn't even bother to catch him with his peripheral vision. Later, he joined the old man's son in Wallachia, and the relationship between the two parties was very bad.

"Why is this old guy here?" Old Igor asked suspiciously.

Li Xiao shook his head: "I don't know. Could it be that he noticed our release?"

However, he immediately denied this possibility, not to mention that they did it very covertly and it was difficult to detect. Even if he was really noticed by that old fox, there was absolutely no reason to come and question him.

"It should be something else! I just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!" Li Xiao sighed.

"What a great thing, Your Majesty the Grand Duke!"

As soon as Old Adlerberg saw Li Xiao in the living room, he put on a smile and said with a smile: "Your Majesty talked to me about your marriage problem today. He thought it was really inappropriate for you to be in your twenties and not get married yet." It's outrageous, so you asked me to come over and take care of this issue... Don't you think this is a good thing?"

Li Xiao didn't even know how to complain. For him, this was a huge bad thing. If possible, he really hoped that Alexander II wouldn't care so much about him, at least not about whether he got married or not.

But before he could think of a way to send Old Adlerberg away, Old Igor intervened: "Master, this is indeed great news! You see, His Majesty has not forgotten to care about you despite his busy schedule. Marriage problems, this fully shows that your marriage is imminent and must be resolved as soon as possible!"

Li Xiao opened his mouth to refuse, but old Igor continued: "Today, His Majesty the Earl came to pay attention to this matter in person. I think it is a good opportunity to finalize the matter as soon as possible, so as not to let His Majesty down." What a kindness!”

Old Adlerberg was actually confused about his mission. He didn't understand why Alexander II suddenly cared about Li Xiao, his cousin.

Anyway, he felt that Alexander II was not normal today. Could it be that he was confused by Count Uvarov's incident...?

head?

"No! Impossible!"

He immediately denied this possibility, thinking that it was very possible that the meeting between Alexander II and Nikolai Milyutin did not go well, otherwise it would be impossible to both doubt the queen and care about Li Xiao, who he had hated before.

This made him take a breath of cold air, because once the news spread that Alexander II and Nikolai Milyutin were having trouble talking to each other, it would definitely stir up waves, and maybe it would detonate the reformists and conservatives. The contradiction of faction..._\u0026 ?
