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

Chapter 13 Addiction
"The venue for the donation meeting has been selected, so what are you still worried about?" Liang Xiao retracted her hand as if nothing had happened, but lightly pressed the fingertips under her cuffs that had just brushed Su Jiu's face, as if she was still feeling Su Jiu's soft touch. skin.

"It's not for the list of people participating in the donation meeting!" Su Jiu didn't notice Liang Xiao's slightly red earlobes, and all his thoughts were on the donation meeting. "This is the first time this princess has held a donation meeting, but look at the list of people .There is not a single dignitary in Beijing who can stand up. With these people on the list, even if they are raising donations for the Salesian Church, how much money can they donate?"

This is the first time the emperor entrusted her with a major task.If it doesn't work out this time and disappoints the emperor, there will be no chance to start a career in the future.

"Indeed!" Liang Xiao glanced at the list, and said, "Then just make it bigger, post a post to all the people you want to invite, and publicize the list to make contributions to the country. Even if they want to shirk it, they can't do it." Can't get rid of it."

"But... it will offend a lot of people!" It's not that Su Jiu has never thought of this method, but there is still a big difference between forced donation and voluntary donation. At that time, if they don't voluntarily donate to the Salesian Church, they will be considered as donators Yes, probably not bloodletting.

"You still care about offending people?" Liang Xiao looked at Su Jiu's aggrieved expression, and said, "Since you have decided to do this, don't hesitate. What's more, the donation from the Salesian Church is a test given to you by the emperor." , is also an opportunity, do it boldly, what are you afraid of!"

Hearing Liang Xiao's words, Su Jiu felt a lot more at ease, nodded solemnly, and immediately ordered someone to find a pen and paper to start writing the list of invitation letters.

Su Jiu kept working on his pen, but Liang Xiao sheathed his rare sword and began to grind ink for Su Jiu.

When Su Jiu raised his head again, it was already an hour later, and the sky was turning dark.

"It's been so long?" Su Jiu rubbed his sore neck, and said with a smile, "Liang Xiao, has anyone ever told you that you are quite talented as a little wife?"

"..." Liang Xiao chose to shut up
"Honestly, you are at my side to accompany me in my work, so I feel at ease. It's time before I know it!" Su Jiu allowed himself to slump on the chair, "No wonder those literati like to read when there is a beautiful woman by their side." , Hongxiu Tianxiang is really addictive."

"Then dare to ask Your Highness, is it better to be a beautiful woman or a humble minister!" Liang Xiao's voice was a little bewildering, and the eyelashes that were approaching her were distinct, and Su Jiu fell back in fright.

There is nothing to say about the quality of the chairs in the Princess Mansion, so it won't be able to hold Su Jiu in a hurry, he has great strength!

"Haha..." Liang Xiao crossed her arms and laughed outright, "Xiao Sujiu, I know, it must be because of my charm, even if you are fascinated by the humble minister, you wouldn't be able to perform such a great gift! "

After speaking, Liang Xiao pulled Su Jiu up from the ground.

"Liang Xiao!" Su Jiu was going to be blown up by this bastard.Didn't she just mock Liang Xiao like a little daughter-in-law?This guy is good, he directly magnifies his moves, blatantly confusing her, causing her to fall down in excitement, and laugh so unscrupulously.

"I'm here!" Seeing Su Jiu getting angry, Liang Xiao tried her best to hide the smile in her eyes, but the meaning of "gloating" was obvious.

"Your mouth! It's just blinding your face for nothing!" Su Jiu couldn't tell what he had just seen Liang Xiao and fell down in excitement, so he could only secretly suffer from being dumb. My lord, please come and send me an invitation letter!"

Su Jiu invited many people, even Su Qing, who was grounded because of a private meeting with guards, was sent an invitation letter.

Su Qing looked at the invitation card handed over by the palace man, her originally delicate face became distorted, and she subconsciously swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Isn't she, Su Jiu, just occupying the title of a concubine princess? Returning to the Charity Hall? It's really idle, the emperor can allow her to behave like this!"

"Qing'er!" Concubine Hua Gui who was still outside the palace heard Su Qing's complaining voice from a long distance away.Quickly walked a few steps and said to stop, "Misfortune comes out of your mouth, don't you know?"

"Concubine mother!" Su Qing burst out with all her grievances when she saw Concubine Hua Gui, "Why is Su Jiu, a little bitch, living so well, and I'm still her older sister? Farewell, father!" Tell me to open the Sixth Princess Mansion outside the palace, and ground me. What about Su Jiu! Not to mention hanging out with Liang Xiao every day, it should be a matter of people's livelihood under the supervision of the household department, but the emperor actually handed it over to her!"

"Hush!" Concubine Hua quickly pulled Su Qing over, stopping her from continuing.

The palace servants beside him caught the gaze of Concubine Hua Gui, and signaled the servants in the hall to leave together.

After closing the door, Concubine Hua Gui said, "Do you think this is a good thing? The emperor's esteem, to put it bluntly, is an opportunity. But at the same time, it is also a murderous weapon."

"Mother Concubine, what do you mean?" Su Qing was puzzled.

"Su Jiu always feels that it is a good thing for her to hold this donation meeting and set up a charity hall, but the dignitaries in Beijing are not fools, who will be happy to take money from someone's pocket." Hua Guifei vowed "She sent invitations with such a big fanfare, and the funds raised from the donations will not meet expectations, and it will be your father's face. At that time, no matter how much your father loves Su Jiu, how can there be no barriers in your heart?"

"That's true, not to mention that the donation will still be held in her princess mansion, if something unexpected happens..."

Su Qing gave Concubine Hua a "you understand" expression.

Fengqi Palace

"Xiao Jiu'er, I've been very busy recently! It's been a long time since I came to see my mother." The queen's eyes were filled with complaints, "If I hadn't sent Nanny Li to the princess mansion to look for you, would I have completely forgotten about my mother? !"

"Why, isn't my son busy with the donation meeting? I'm a little busy, so I can't take care of it!" Su Jiu handed the pastry to the queen. Good walnut crisp, you have to try it!"

The queen took the pastry and took a bite. "The queen mother knows that you are going to hold a donation meeting, and she thinks that even if she can't do her best, she should support her."

Speaking of this, the queen signaled Nanny Li to hand over the item, "This is the Donghai Pearl that Donghai paid tribute to last year. When it opens after dark, it looks like moonlight, very soft. There is only one copy in the entire Great Yan, and it was given by your father!" "

"It's too precious!" Su Jiu glanced at it, quickly closed the box, and handed it back to the queen. "What's more, it was given to the queen by the father, how can it be used as a donation?"

"As the empress of the Central Palace, I naturally have to think more about the common people. But I can't do it right now. You have taken on the responsibility of taking care of the elderly and young children in Beijing for me. This is also the empress's heart!"
