Your Majesty, the General has long had deep-rooted love for you

Chapter 12
Su Jiu and Liang Xiao were discussing about the new Salesian Hall while eating the delicacies of Bai Cui Lou.

Su Jiu didn't get up until everything was finalized, "Let's go! Go back to the palace to see Father!"

"So urgent?" Liang Xiao couldn't believe it.

"Of course, today's work is done today!" Su Jiu pushed Liang Xiao's shoulder and walked out.

Imperial Palace, Xuanzheng Hall
Listening to Su Jiu's eloquent talk, the emperor shifted his gaze to the plan submitted by Su Jiu, with a gratified smile on the corner of his mouth, "Xiao Jiu has grown up! You know how to worry about people's livelihood!"

"It's better to be taught by my father, not to mention that I am in a high position and supported by the people, so naturally I have to do my best and do what I can!"

Su Jiu was full of smiles, "Father will definitely agree. Liang Xiao and I plan to raise donations for the Charity Hall. There are so many dignitaries in Beijing. As long as everyone contributes some, I believe that the Charity Hall will be built." Yes, when the time comes, won't the reputation of father and emperor be famous all over the country!"

"Haha... you little clever ghost!" The emperor nodded on Su Jiu's forehead, "It is possible to hold the Charity Hall not in the name of the imperial court, but in the name of the Nine Princesses! After all, I plan to hand over the follow-up matters. Do it for you."

"Me? Father really decided to hold a sales hall in my name? Why?" Su Jiu was a little puzzled. It is undeniable that if a sales hall is really held in her name, there will naturally be many benefits, but after all, she It's just a princess, so the emperor gave her such a chance to save face without the slightest hesitation.

"You are my first princess. What's the difference whether it's in your name or in the name of the court?" The emperor didn't think so. .”

"Thank you, father!" Su Jiu's eyes were red with emotion. Father is still the best father to her. No matter what happens, he will stand behind her unswervingly. "My son will never disappoint father." look forward to!"

"Well... let's go down! I have something to talk to Liang Xiao alone!" The emperor rubbed Su Jiu's head and signaled her to back down.

Satisfied, Su Jiu glanced at Liang Xiao who was standing under the stage, and then opened the door and left.

Seeing Su Jiu go out, the emperor who was originally kind-hearted suddenly became serious.

"Liang Xiao, you like Xiao Jiuer!" The emperor used affirmative sentences instead of interrogative sentences.

I knew that Liang Xiao's eyes would be glued to Su Jiu just now.Su Jiu's heart and eyes were all about the Salesian Church's affairs, so he didn't notice.But His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been scheming, took Liang Xiao's expression into his eyes early on.

Liang Xiao's fingers clenched tightly in her cuffs, and she immediately knelt down.

Seeing that Liang Xiao didn't talk to him, the emperor patted the table and said, "Speak!"

The blood vessels under the tense muscles seemed to be bursting with blood. Facing the emperor's questioning, Liang Xiao nodded after serious consideration, "I have long had a deep-seated love for Your Highness!"

"What a deep-rooted love, Liang Xiao, let me ask you, you are the son of Prince Liang, and although you are only a fifth-rank guard with a knife now, you will inherit the throne of Prince Liang's mansion sooner or later. Jiu'er going to the border Liang Palace to defend the city? Or should I be willing to be Princess Shang's son-in-law in Beijing?"

"I... I am the son of King Liang, so I naturally have to take on the responsibility of defending my family and the country, and guarding the border peace. This is the responsibility and commitment of our Liang family from generation to generation. But the nine princesses are also the love of my life. If your majesty hangs down the curtain, I will definitely not let her suffer!"

"Since this is the case, then you can help Xiaojiu open a charity hall first, and go to the border next month to help your father! Let me see if Liang Jiaerlang is capable of marrying my ninth princess." As the emperor said, he threw the memorial in front of Liang Xiao, motioning him to check it out.

Liang Xiao glanced at ten lines, and her serious and resolute brows were clustered together, "Minister, lead the decree!"

"Your Majesty, you have high hopes for Lord Liang!" Eunuch Li, who was waiting on the side, saw Liang Xiao leave, and stepped forward to serve.

"Not at all, the main reason is that this kid always wants to abduct my little Jiu'er, and I'm not happy with it. It just so happens that the Hu tribe is in turmoil, and I'm sent to the border, so that he won't be an eyesore in the capital." In front of Eunuch Li, the emperor rarely showed his childish side.

Eunuch Li smiled and said nothing, no one knew the emperor better than him, if he was dissatisfied with Liang Xiao, the son-in-law-to-be, the emperor might have lost his temper just now, how could he be given a chance to make contributions!

After Su Jiu received the emperor's order, he quickly ordered people to spread the news of the establishment of the Salesian Hall, and unexpectedly organized a donation meeting.

"Your Highness, this is the list for signing up for the donation meeting." Baoqin handed the paper to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu looked at the few thin pages and frowned.She originally thought that the establishment of Ci'an Hall in the capital would be a good thing for the country and the people, and everyone would definitely respond positively.But looking at the list of personnel listed on the paper, Su Jiu only felt that he finally understood what it means to be full of ideals and skinny in reality!
The people on the list are either small businessmen who have no savings and just want to get acquainted with each other; or they are scholars who want to take a shortcut.The real dignitaries really didn't have anyone to attend.

"Still counting the list?" Liang Xiao's policy in the Princess Mansion is that if she can jump out of the window, she will never go through the main entrance. As soon as she came in, she saw Su Jiu's frowning brows, and the brush and ink on her face. noticed.

"Why are you here?" Su Jiu put down his pen, looked at Liang Xiao, a little surprised, "Aren't you on duty in the palace today?"

"Your Majesty knows that you are busy with the Salesian Hall, so he specially asked me to assist you!" This is the first time Su Jiu has received an order to complete the imperial court's order. To ensure everything is safe, it is understandable that the emperor sent Liang Xiao to assist you. .

Su Jiu handed the documents on the table to Liang Xiao, "The donation meeting will be in my princess mansion. At that time, a high platform can be set up in the hall, interspersed with performances, so that everyone will not be overly tired."

After Liang Xiao finished reading the documents in her hand, she raised her eyes and saw Su Jiu looking at the documents intently.

Looking at the ink mark that Su Jiu accidentally drew on the edge of his mouth, Liang Xiao subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, and the clear and refreshing bamboo forest breath immediately filled Su Jiu's nose.

"What... what's wrong?" Su Jiu looked at Liang Xiao's troublesome hand, but forgot to stop him, and just tilted his head slightly, with a blank expression on his face.

Liang Xiao didn't rush to defend, but raised her hand.Let Su Jiu see the ink marks just wiped off his face, "You have written all over your face, are you hungry? Ink goes with steamed buns?"

"Get out!" Su Jiu was furious. To Liang Xiao, who couldn't spit out ivory, Su Jiu said that he was really blind to this serious, cold and ascetic appearance.
