Struggle in Russia

Feeling a lot of eyes locked on her, Victoria felt a little uncomfortable. Although she was a princess, he had never participated in such a high-level salon, which made her a little nervous.

Li Xiao felt Victoria's nervousness, patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, they are just curious."

Victoria struggled to smile: "Why? Is my dress weird?"

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "They were just wondering why a guy like me, who is known not to like attending salons, suddenly brought such a beautiful lady to the show."

Victoria was embarrassed. She actually didn't want to come. This kind of occasion made her very embarrassed. After all, as a daughter, she knew very well the virtues of her old father. On the other hand, she is also afraid of causing trouble to Li Xiao and being considered by the outside world as a bad woman who worships money.

But Igor was so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to show up.

But as soon as they met, she regretted it and had the idea of ​​​​running away.

Li Xiao patted the back of her hand again: "Don't be nervous, just pretend they don't exist. They are just a bunch of bored people with long mouths. They are really annoying!"

Before Victoria could answer, he suddenly said: "Grand Duchess Irina and Count Nikolai Milyutin are here!"

Victoria was stunned, and before she could react, she was led by Li Xiao towards the direction of Grand Duchess Irina.

This made her more and more nervous, not afraid but a little excited to see her idol.

Yes, Grand Duchess Irina is a Victoria icon. In her eyes, this smart, loving, beautiful, self-reliant, and knowledgeable grand duchess is the most perfect female role model.

This is what she dreams of becoming!

More than once, she thought about how wonderful life would be if she could be like Grand Duchess Irina!

"Andreka, when did you come back from Kiev? You didn't even come to my house to sit there. It really makes me sad!"

Li Xiao felt a little embarrassed. Apart from old Igor, the only person who could feed him steadily after time travel was the Grand Duchess.

As his mother's former best friend, this aunt still took good care of him. If it weren't for her care in the past few years, Li Xiao would have definitely been played to death by Nicholas I.

When he saw her, Li Xiao always felt a bit like seeing his mother. It was really suppressing from all directions, just like Sun Houhou met the Tathagata Buddha.

"Sorry, there are too many things. I originally planned to visit you tomorrow."

Grand Duchess Irina smiled and said: "Is that so? Then I will forgive you. There is a dance at my house tomorrow night. You can bring this beautiful lady over!"

Li Xiao really wanted to hit the wall. Being suppressed by the blood of Grand Duchess Irina was uncomfortable enough, but in the end he had to participate in some **** dance. Although with Victoria's help, his dancing skills could barely reach the stage, but he really didn't care about the dance. Interested!

But Li Xiao didn't dare to refuse. If he dared to say no, he might not be able to stop for the next month. What's worse is that the dance would still have to go, or even several times.

Rather than being tortured over and over again, let's have a good time.

He reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely go to the appointment on time!"

However, Grand Duchess Irina did not answer his words. Instead, she looked at Victoria with a smile and said: "Oh, Andreka, you haven't introduced me to which family this young and beautiful lady belongs to! She belongs to you. Fiancée?”

Victoria's face turned red visibly. As for Li Xiao, he even wanted to hold his forehead and sigh. Grand Duchess Irina always liked to make fun of him. She knew clearly that Victoria could not be his fiancée but she still said this. This was obviously You want to see his jokes!

If someone wanted to see his joke, Li Xiao would slap him away without hesitation, but Grand Duchess Irina was different. Not only could he endure it silently, but he even had to actively cooperate. Who really cares about others? Where are the elders who love and protect him?

Li Xiao smiled bitterly and replied: "No, this is Princess Victoria Vladimir Lovna, my personal...personal assistant."

Grand Duchess Irina looked at Victoria with a smile. Li Xiao felt that there was something strange and inexplicable in this smile.

"Hello, Miss Victoria Vladimirlovna."

Grand Duchess Irina did not mention her personal assistant at all, but instead greeted Victoria cordially and friendly, with such enthusiasm that it could melt steel.

This made her little fan Victoria very flattered. She really didn't expect that the grand duchess would be so amiable. She was completely unlike the mean ladies she had seen at other **** and salons, who would only treat her badly. She was dressed in a picky way with her nose and eyes raised, mocking her for being a poor woman.

Is this the true cultivation of a top noble?

However, Victoria also noticed something was wrong, UU Reading www.uukｎsｈ. com Grand Duchess Irina's enthusiasm for her seemed a bit extraordinary. She always felt as if she had seen her before somewhere. Why did this kind and loving motherly smile look so familiar?

If Li Xiao could hear Victoria's thoughts, he would tell her: "How come it doesn't look familiar? Isn't this the smile a mother-in-law would have when she sees her future daughter-in-law? He has seen a lot of her before time travel!"

It's just that now he is too busy to take care of himself and has no time to explain to Victoria.

After chatting with Victoria for a while, Grand Duchess Irina took her arm and said to Li Xiao: "Dear Andreka, lend me your little girlfriend, and you stinky men can continue to talk about that. Boring politics, let’s talk about ladies first!”

Without waiting for Li Xiao and Victoria to object to Grand Duchess Irina, they walked away directly, leaving Li Xiao to Nikolai Milyutin.

What Li Xiao can say, he can only accept it. What's more, he and Nikolai Milyutin really had something to say, and Grand Duchess Irina deliberately created an opportunity for them to talk.

"Hello, Count, Count Dmitry asked me to tell you that arrangements for Ukraine must be more cautious, and we must not let some people who are not cautious enough to mess around there. Ukraine cannot withstand a new round of troubles."

Nikolay Milutin secretly savored Li Xiao's words, and there was obviously a deep meaning in them. As a pilot project for reform, Ukraine must be tormented, but Dmitri specifically asked someone to give him a message telling him that Ukraine cannot be tormented casually. What do you mean by this?

After a long silence, he suddenly asked: "The situation over there is really that bad?"

Li Xiao sighed and said: "Let's put it this way, there are gangsters everywhere in the ten rooms and nine empty rooms..."
