The reason why Grand Duke Constantine came to Grand Duke Nicholas was to continue to care for his little brother who lacked love and self-esteem. Of course, it was also good to spy on the information, but these were all connected. He was completely motivated by brotherly love.
He only came to care about Grand Duke Nicholas before he set out. Believe it or not, that’s what he thought.
It's just that Grand Duke Konstantin didn't expect to eat a big melon just after he entered the door. A few seconds ago, he was listening to Grand Duke Nicholas bragging about how awesome he was and how he had to make Count Rostovtsev give in.
, as if he had done some great undertaking of great magnitude.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, the so-called detailed instructions sent by Count Rostovtsev caused Grand Duke Nicholas to overturn on the spot. It turned into a slap in the face in an instant and almost caused Grand Commune Nicholas to die on the spot.
Grand Duke Constantine looked at the indignant Grand Duke Nicholas, smiled slightly and said lightly: "You don't have to be too angry, these old foxes are all the same. They are the best at playing word games and these little tricks.
It’s amazing, I suffered a lot back then!”
After hearing Grand Duke Constantine's words, Grand Duke Nicholas's face became a little better, but he was still worried about it. As long as he thought about the expression of Grand Duke Mikhail next door after seeing this detailed report, he felt
His face was filled with shame.
"Actually, you've done a pretty good job. If you deal with others, I think the earl would refuse on the spot. Who would have thought of using this method to fool things?"
Grand Duke Constantine comforted him again, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "If you want to truly understand the count's purpose, such official articles are useless. They know this well and have thousands of ways to deal with it.
"
Grand Duke Nicholas heard something and immediately asked with a smile on his face: "Do you have any other ideas?"
Grand Duke Constantine smiled enigmatically and did not answer directly. Instead, he held the goblet and swayed the red wine in it, obviously implying something.
Of course Grand Duke Nicholas could understand such an obvious hint. They were all born from the same mother, so no one knew who was who! Obviously Grand Duke Constantine was asking what benefits he could get if there was a way!
Grand Duke Nicholas hesitated for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "Second brother, you also know that we have a mission here. Father and eldest brother are watching! You will make it too difficult for me!"
Grand Duke Constantine sniffed the red wine and replied slowly: "Then you just watch my second brother being bullied? Don't tell me that you don't know what Shuvalov has done. Do you think this happened to me?"
Is it wrong?"
Grand Duke Nicholas suddenly stopped talking. To be fair, Grand Duke Constantine was indeed the victim this time, and he sympathized with him. But, who makes the eldest brother the crown prince? You keep competing with him and don't compete for the position.
Are you being punished by others? I mean, you brought this on yourself. Wouldn't it be better to recognize your own position honestly and be a wise king of peace?
Of course, Grand Duke Nicholas would not say these words directly. If he did, he and Grand Duke Constantine would not be able to continue talking, and they might even fall out.
He could only laugh and said: "Who is right and who is wrong is not the most important issue. The problem is that you don't have the advantage! I don't have the strength to help you with anything you want, so don't make things difficult for me!
"
Grand Duke Constantine spat in his heart: Little fox, you still dare to play this trick with me. Your wings have become stiff, and you don't take me seriously anymore.
However, he did not turn his face directly, but replied in a pleasant manner: "Am I making things difficult for you? I didn't ask you to come to Kiev. I still know your character clearly, and I know that you are indifferent to the world and have no regard for power.
Interested, so do you think your second brother has disturbed you before? Did he take the initiative to drag you into muddy water? "
Grand Duke Nicholas curled his lips inwardly and thought with disdain: "That's because you looked down on me at all back then and didn't take me seriously at all. Otherwise, it would be strange if you didn't cheat me with your character!"
But he said: "That's right, that's right, second brother, you still take good care of me, but you also know that my abilities are limited, brother, and there are some things that I really can't do!"
Grand Duke Constantine put the wine glass on the coffee table and said nothing, just pretending to leave. Now Grand Duke Nicholas couldn't help it and hurriedly grabbed him and begged: "Don't leave!
I haven’t even finished saying this, and you haven’t taught me what to do yet! What will I do if you leave?”
Grand Duke Constantine glanced at him with a sneer, curled his lips and said: "It's cool! Your second brother and I are a clay Buddha. I can't save myself when I cross the river. How can I teach you how to do things? Now in this situation, we brothers all have difficulties.
Let each of you wish for your own happiness!"
Naturally, Grand Duke Nicholas could not let go, and could only continue to persuade: "I know you must have a way, otherwise, no matter what information I get from Count Rostovtsev, I will quietly tell you a copy
Son, how are you?"
Grand Duke Constantine turned his head and stared at him. Although he said nothing, Grand Duke Nicholas felt uncomfortable for no reason.
After a while, Grand Duke Constantine said: "You have already said that you have done this job. If my brother forces you again, it will be a failure of brotherhood. Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. As long as Rostov
Count Zev or if you find out that other people are trying to trick me from behind, please remind me, then we will still be good brothers!"
Grand Duke Nicholas nodded quickly and simply said: "Okay, we will make it a deal!"
After negotiating the terms, the two brothers, who had their own ulterior motives, sat back on the sofa. Grand Duke Constantine picked up what he had put down before and pretended to take a sip, and said slowly: "You want to find out about Rostov's harvest?"
Regarding the actions of Count Husband, it is useless to engage in official tricks. He has a hundred ways to fool you. The only way is to keep an eye on the people under him, such as his secretary Sergei, regardless of whether he
You can’t do anything yourself, right? You have to send someone to do it! Once you keep an eye on Sergey, you will naturally know what he is doing!”
This method made Grand Duke Nicholas a little confused. It's not that he couldn't accept it, but he felt that it was a bit dirty. When did the princes and nobles become as sneaky as the dog spies in the third part?
This made Grand Duke Nicholas, who had been educated by aristocrats and considered himself superior to others, a little unable to accept it. He felt that gentlemen should not peek into other people's letters. As for blatant tracking and surveillance, that was even more disgusting. He, a grand duke of the empire, could
