Maria Pavlovna's worries came and went quickly, but this also more or less reflected her true inner preference, she was actually more inclined to Nicholas I's family. Of course, this is also understandable. After all, Li Xiao's father died early, and he was a widow, and his mother's identity was embarrassing. Lia Pavlovna shed a few tears of sympathy, but it was absolutely impossible for her to turn around and love Nicholas I even for him.

In this regard, Maria Pavlovna is actually very shrewd, knowing what to do is best for herself and her family.

So she can use warmth to open Li Xiao's defense, but she will never really have warmth. Between Li Xiao and Nicholas I or Crown Prince Alexander, she would choose the latter without hesitation.

This is the truest Maria Pavlovna, and the truest politics.

Of course, Li Xiao knows a lot about this. Anyway, he never planned to get any help from these aunts or uncles, because judging from the various circumstances after his birth, the attitude of these so-called relatives is already obvious. Not on his end.

So naturally Li Xiao wouldn't be moved by their so-called warmth, not to mention that Li Xiao was a time traveler at all, and he didn't regard himself as a member of the Romanov family at all, so naturally it was even more impossible for him to eat their sugar-coated cannonballs.

His attitude towards other members of the Romanov family is very simple, that is, business is business, everyone negotiates conditions and cooperates to get what they need, it's that simple!

As for other feelings, what is there to talk about, and you can have feelings after talking? Forget it, everyone should keep it simple, so as not to talk about feelings and hurt money!

Maria Pavlovna was probably aware of Li Xiao's attitude. She lamented that this nephew was not easy to fool and was a little unwilling to give up. She decided to continue to try the warm offensive.

So she said again: "I'm already at this age, and I'm going to see God in a few years. What I can't let go of now is you children. I only hope that you children are safe and happy, and I have no regrets!"

Li Xiao shook his head again in his heart, as expected, no matter whether a woman is eighteen or eighty years old, she lies in a way. He didn't believe a word, maybe this aunt really cared about Prince William, but it was definitely not because she cared about this son-in-law, but because this son-in-law was so important to her family.

As long as there are no major accidents, Prince William must be the next King of Prussia. At that time, his cousin was the Queen of Prussia. For the weak Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, it was equivalent to hugging a big Thick legs.

At that time, even if Carl Alexander was ineffective, there would be no major problems with his sister and brother-in-law taking care of him.

To put it bluntly, Maria Pavlovna cared about her children at most, and was afraid that they would get into trouble. For her, Li Xiao was that trouble.

"You worry too much, and you are not old at all, so heaven is still far away from you?" Li Xiao fooled a few words casually, "With your careful care, it must be safe and happy."

Maria Pavlovna really has nothing to do with Li Xiao, no matter how much she tries to test him, she just refuses to pick him up, what can she do? In desperation, she could only ask: "Then tell me, why did Duke Alexander seek William? Don't fool me with words like friendship between the two countries, I don't believe it at all!"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "The friendship between the two countries is naturally true. Duke Alexander attaches great importance to the friendship with Prussia, and hopes to continue to maintain and develop the friendship with Prussia and His Royal Highness Prince William! Let the relationship between the two sides be deeper and last longer , in order to face more and more serious common problems and challenges!"

Maria Pavlovna is no political novice, she understands political cues. Although Li Xiao started with the friendship between the two countries, he immediately mentioned that Duke Alexander attached great importance to Yunyun. This is to imply that it is Duke Alexander who really values ​​​​the relationship with William I rather than Russia behind him.

This is in line with Maria Pavlovna's cognition, because she knows very well that her younger brother Nicholas I actually pays more attention to Austria in the Holy Alliance, and Prussia is more like an addition, although it is also important but Absolutely no Austria key. On key issues, especially the choice between Prussia and Austria, Nicholas I would 100% choose Austria instead of Prussia.

Li Xiao's subsequent words also made Maria Pavlovna think deeply. Duke Alexander wanted to strengthen the relationship with Prince William and Prussia in order to deal with the increasingly serious problems and challenges.

So what are these problems and challenges, or where do they come from? This is really thought-provoking and thought-provoking.

Maria Pavlovna had some guesses, but she wasn't sure if she was right. She could only continue to ask patiently, "Are these problems and challenges serious?"

Li Xiao sighed in his heart. He knew that this aunt understood some of his words, but some parts were not clear enough. He didn't hesitate to hide it, and replied directly: "Of course it is serious! The revolutionary movement sweeping across Europe is coming. The fire has to be guarded against!"

Revolutionary movement?

Maria Pavlovna felt that she had guessed correctly. It seemed that Duke Alexander had asked William to deal with the revolution together. It was really tricky to say the least, and at one point William had to go into exile in London for asylum. It would be a good thing if Duke Alexander was willing to work with William to suppress the revolutionary movement and restore the traditional order in Prussia.

Maria Pavlovna actually thought too superficially, which shows that although she is familiar with politics, her level is not necessarily particularly high. Because in fact, as long as she thinks about it carefully, she will find that if it is to suppress and prevent the revolutionary movement, there is no need for Li Xiao to go to Prussia secretly, and it should not even be arranged by Duke Alexander. After all, he is just the ambassador to Austria. No matter what happens, the ambassador to Prussia should come forward.

Li Xiao also knew that this cheap aunt wanted to be simple, so he immediately added: "This menacing revolution has almost destroyed the traditional order in Europe, and plunged the whole of Europe into chaos and turmoil. How to calm the chaos and restore order, especially How to better safeguard traditional interests when certain countries are greatly reduced due to chaos and turmoil requires careful consultation and cooperation!"
