In Li Xiao's heart, there were ten thousand morons who wanted to complain, because the mother and son did it too obviously, as if they were showing off openly, and the specificity was too obvious.

But Li Xiao can only pretend that he can't see it, so he can't get angry because of this shit!

"It's a great honor to meet your Grand Duke, I am Count Peter Mikhailovich Romanov..."

When Li Xiao was introducing himself, he actually wanted to vomit. Could this damn Peter Mikhailovich Romanov's fake name be a little more fake? There was something wrong with this ghost name as soon as he heard it, and he didn't know if his head was caught by the door when Duke Alexander made up his identity.

What's wrong with the name? First of all, look at the first half, Peter Mikhailovich's name alone is not a problem. In Russia, there are 80,000 or 100,000 people with this name. It is a very common and common name.

But after adding the surname Romanov to this name, there is a big problem. Because Romanov is the national surname of Russia after all, and everyone who mentions this surname knows that he is a member of the royal family. Then look forward to the name and paternal title based on the clues of the royal family. As long as you are not too stupid and ignorant of Russian history, you will know that this name is fake.

why?

Because the last person in the Romanov family who used the pseudonym Peter Mikhailovich was too special and famous, and that person was Peter the Great. When he took a false name to study in Western Europe, he was called Peter Mikhailovich.

Now there is another Peter Mikhailovich and his surname is Romanov, which is tantamount to telling people that this is a fake name. Tell me, do you have such a pseudonym for secret work? That doesn't mean telling people that this identity is fake!

Anyway, if it was Li Xiao, it would be impossible for him to be so profane, and he guessed that the reason why Duke Alexander gave him such a fake name was probably to make fun of him. After all, the story of Peter the Great is so famous. Compared with the ancestor of Peter the Great, Li Xiao, the descendant of later generations, looks so humble. After all, one is a giant and the other is a dwarf melon.

But fortunately, the few people Li Xiao was going to meet on this trip were actually well aware of his identity, and this false identity was more like a joke. And when introducing it to outsiders, even if they knew there was something wrong with the name, they wouldn't go into it. They just thought it was because of Li Xiao's special status that he couldn't directly reveal it.

For example, when Liszt, Wagner, and Fanny next to him heard someone's name, they were taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Li Xiao was a certain prince of the Romanov family. with.

Karl Alexander also introduced Li Xiao to the three friends with a smile: "The earl is my cousin,

Came from Vienna to go to Berlin on business, and came to see my mother..."

Liszt, Wagner, and Fanny naturally nodded again, knowing in their hearts that Li Xiao's identity is a certain prince or grand duke. As for who it is, there is no need to delve into it. Since Carl Alexander didn't call the name, it means they shouldn't be careful. ask.

"Hello Earl, welcome to Weimar. Weimar has a special style this season, I hope you like it!"

Li Xiao also greeted these few with a smile, not making any fuss about their identities. As a traveler who is particularly familiar with history. He has long realized that he will meet some historical celebrities, and Liszt and Wagner deserve to be famous, and it will not make him particularly excited.

After the guests of honor were seated respectively, the servants brought hot black tea and snacks. Generally speaking, it was the time for nonsense, which was used by the nobles to pass the time by chatting. It's just that today because of Li Xiao's intervention, the topic of chatting is a bit high-end.

At the very beginning, Karl Alexander was a little impatient: "Count, you just came from Vienna, so you should have a better understanding of the situation in Hungary, right?"

In fact, Li Xiao is also a little puzzled, because generally speaking, nobles have a fixed routine for chatting. They usually start with fake nonsense, such as the weather, and then slowly deepen it. If there is no such thing, just ask directly Such a serious topic. After all, this is not a special political discussion salon. Is it appropriate to discuss political topics with a group of musicians and literary workers?

In fact, Maria Pavlovna was also a little strange. Although she had hinted that her son wanted to trick Li Xiao, she couldn't just get right to the point! What if this arouses the vigilance of the other party and the routine fails?

She felt that Karl Alexander was still too immature, had never experienced such a skill-requiring job, and needed to exercise well, and decided to increase Karl Alexander's ability in this area in the future.

Poor Karl Alexander didn't expect to be targeted by his old mother when he came up. There is only one reason why he went straight to the point. He had noticed Fanny's expression just now. This girl always wants to publish something. This expression is always used when making shocking remarks.

But Fanny's shocking remarks are really ridiculous. Of course, it is not a big problem. The biggest problem is that he can't say it in front of his old mother. For her, tradition is worthy of respect. She was blaspheming the tradition like Ni, she must be furious.

Karl Alexander doesn't want to be reprimanded by his old mother again. After all, he is also thirty years old, and he is really impatient with his old mother's lessons. In order to keep his ears clean, he can only lead the conversation in front of him. up.

Naturally, Li Xiao didn't know the twists and turns. Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't take it seriously. It's not that there are some quick-tempered nobles, maybe his cousin is one?

He replied naturally: "I still understand the situation in Hungary. The situation there is not optimistic. Although the Austrian army has tried to regain Bratislava, it is a pity that it was repelled by the rebels. Today most of Hungary Still under rebel control."

Karl Alexander was surprised: "Are the rebels still so strong? Didn't it mean that Duke Paskovich and Duke Mikhail have sent troops to help put down the rebellion?"

"Yes, the two dukes have led a heavy army group to help counter the rebellion, but the resistance of the rebel army is very tenacious. When I left Vienna, the two dukes didn't make much progress."

Now Karl Alexander was really surprised, and lost his voice: "The situation is still so bad? I thought the counter-insurgency operation was going well!"

After these words came out, Maria Pavlovna's face suddenly changed, and she quickly coughed twice to remind her son, because these words were a bit slap in the face...
