Chapter 293 Interview (Part 2)
Grand Duke Constantine's enthusiasm made Petrovna secretly delighted. Could the Grand Duke be so enthusiastic if he didn't pay attention to her? Just imagine that as long as you show your true skills and perform well this time, the Grand Duke should be satisfied, right?
Even Petrovna was a little dreamy, thinking that if she properly displayed her personal beauty, it would not be impossible for Grand Duke Constantine to bow down under her pomegranate skirt. Of course, she didn't have those unrealistic dreams of turning a crow into a phoenix. At most, she just hoped to curry favor with Grand Duke Constantine to obtain more resources.
While Petrovna was thinking about it, Viscount Prozolov was actually observing her reaction. Only at the lowest point and the highest peak can one see the true temperament. Whether to face setbacks without being discouraged and continue to struggle, or just sink. In the face of great success, whether you can remain rational and not arrogant or impetuous, judging people is definitely the most accurate at these times.
Only in situations of great joy or great sorrow are people's defensiveness the lowest, and it is also the easiest to expose flaws in character.
Obviously, Petrovna has exposed some problems. This woman's ambition is too huge, and it has far exceeded her ability. It's not that a courtesan like her will never be able to embrace Grand Duke Constantine's thick legs. There are almost no women who think like her in St. Petersburg. Her biggest problem is that she is a bit too ambitious.
Think about it, this is the first time you met Grand Duke Constantine, and you are thinking about how to dedicate yourself to hugging thick legs, which is a bit too early. Because you don't know Grand Duke Constantine's preferences at all, what if he doesn't like you?
Then your reckless behavior is likely to leave a bad impression on the other party. You must know that the current situation is not all good. You, Petrovna, have not been cleared of suspicion, and you are still a wanted criminal!
At this time, the most important thing is to go ashore first to escape the danger, instead of thinking about how to seduce the boss in a hurry.
However, Viscount Prozolov thinks this is not bad. People with ambitions and flaws are better controlled. If Petrovna can really restrain her impulse and be particularly calm, then he will make a murmur instead, because such a woman is too scary. , is not easy to control.
After all, what Viscount Prozolov wanted was a useful tool. The most important thing about a tool was that it could be controlled by him. No matter how powerful he was, what he couldn't control was not a tool, but a bomb.
And this defect of Petrovna is not a particularly big problem, because she will hit the iron plate soon, knowing how difficult it is to seduce Grand Duke Constantine to take the position.
Don't get me wrong, Grand Duke Konstantin is not sitting still, but his vision has long been made very high by all the beauties in the court. Beauties like Petrovna are actually too ordinary in his eyes , It's not that easy to make him fall in love!
And after being beaten to death by the Grand Duke Constantine,
Petrovna should know who she can rely on. Thinking of this, Viscount Prozolov couldn't help showing a playful smile, he couldn't wait to watch the show.
Naturally, Petrovna didn't know all this. She only had Grand Duke Constantine in her eyes, and she was doing everything possible to show her charm without leaving any traces, hoping to attract the attention of Grand Duke Constantine.
So has Grand Duke Constantine noticed?
He was not blind, so he saw it, but as a prince who grew up in the winter palace, what kind of beauty he hadn't seen? To put it bluntly, Petrovna was at a passing level in the Winter Palace, and she was far from arousing his interest!
"Ma'am, it is said that you have a lot of evidence of Shuvalov's crimes?"
Here Petrovna was still flirting with her eyebrows and gesticulating. How could she have thought that Grand Duke Konstantin could not see at all like a blind man, so he directly attacked her directly, which made her a little overwhelmed.
But Petrovna is a courtesan who has experienced big scenes, and she quickly adjusted her mentality. She knows very well that once a big man like Grand Duke Constantine starts talking about business, then you'd better not flirt with him No, that doesn't make any sense, but it will make him feel that you are uninterested and unimportant.
Petrovna quickly explained everything that Viscount Prozolov instructed her to say. At first, when Grand Duke Constantine heard that she had no direct evidence to prove that Shuvalov directed all of that, the little fat man was a little disappointed.
But immediately Petrovna changed the subject again, telling Grand Duke Constantine that she had other reasons to put Shuvalov to death.
Immediately, Grand Duke Konstantin's face changed from cloudy to sunny, and he smiled like a morning glory. Although it is impossible to completely save Bestuzhev Ryumin, as long as Shuvalov can be killed, this trip is not worth it. Too bad.
Naturally, he was quite satisfied with Petrovna. In his opinion, as long as this woman can play these roles, it doesn't matter to give her some sweetness. Anyway, this woman's requirements are not particularly high.
I saw him sitting on the sofa with a big horse, and said to Petrovna in a low voice: "The viscount has already told me about your requirements, as long as you can help me deal with Shuvalov, give this bastard a Lesson learned, I can assure you that you will soon be appearing at salons and balls in St. Petersburg!"
When Grand Duke Constantine said this, Viscount Prozolov next to him almost didn't laugh out loud, why? Because Viscount Prozolov knew what Petrovna really wanted, and the reward given by Grand Duke Constantine was almost meaningless.
Petrovna was actually a little disappointed, because she already had a new goal. She didn't want to continue to be a courtesan to entertain people with sex, but wanted to truly display her talent. Although she would still act as a courtesan, she The point is definitely not to seduce a smelly man anymore, okay?
According to Grand Duke Constantine, this is to introduce her to St. Petersburg as a courtesan. Do you think she will be satisfied?
However, Petrovna did not show her dissatisfaction on her face, because expressing dissatisfaction at this time would be ignorant of current affairs and uninteresting, and would only make Grand Duke Konstantin hate her.
So, she said with a faint smile: "Then I thank you, Your Highness!"
Grand Duke Constantine naturally didn't realize Petrovna's careful thinking. He thought that the reward he gave satisfied Petrovna, so he immediately turned to Viscount Prozolov and asked:
"Viscount, with these, can we have a showdown with Shuvalov?"
Looking at the eager Grand Duke Constantine, Viscount Prozolov shook his head in his heart, this Grand Duke is really almost mean!
