"Daddy, have you been busy recently? You haven't even visited Jiujiu!" Yu Jiujiu curled her mouth unhappily when she saw the pile of memorials on her desk.
"Xiao Jiu'er, it's all daddy's fault."
Emperor Xuanping quickly apologized and explained, "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and everyone everywhere is busy with many matters to prevent the cold and survive the winter this year. If done well, the poor people will suffer less this year.
"So I was a little busy and ignored Xiao Jiu'er. It's dad's fault."
Yu Jiujiu touched the beard on Emperor Xuanping's chin with her little hand.
In his round and clear eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a lot of worry and distress.
"Jiu Jiu doesn't blame Daddy, but daddy also needs to have a good rest, otherwise Jiu Jiu will be unhappy!" she said in a soft and sweet voice.
"Don't worry, I know." Emperor Xuanping couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Xiaonuituan caring about him.
He carried Yu Jiujiu and walked to the dragon chair to sit down.
Yu Jiujiu followed suit and sat on the dragon chair.
The eunuchs and maids of Yangxin Palace have long been accustomed to this.
Emperor Xuanping opened the memorial again, and while reading it, he let Yu Jiujiu lean into his arms, not caring at all that Xiao Naituan would see the contents of the memorial.
So, Yu Jiujiu saw this memorial, which said that a certain place wanted the court to allocate some supplies for winter disaster relief.
She turned her head and suddenly had an idea.
"Daddy, Jiujiu has something to discuss with daddy."
The little nipple suddenly spoke.
"oh?"
Emperor Xuanping responded, but his eyes were still on the memorial in his hand.
"Dad, Jiujiu doesn't want to celebrate his birthday this year."
Yu Jiujiu then said again.
Her words successfully aroused Emperor Xuanping's idea and made him look away from the memorial.
"Why? Xiao Jiu'er, did you listen to what the Queen Mother said?" Emperor Xuanping frowned, with a faint hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Yu Jiujiu looked at it and realized that her father seemed determined to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Chu this time.
She has also stayed in the palace for such a long time.
Even if you have to smooth the tiger's fur, you can't go against it.
"No, the imperial grandmother only said that she would hold a grand birthday banquet for Jiujiu. But Jiujiu just heard from his father that he would prepare things for the poor people to protect themselves from the cold and survive the winter, so he felt that holding a birthday banquet would be too extravagant and wasteful.
, Jiujiu is still young, so her birthday is actually okay.”
Yujiujiu’s little milkyin is very cute.
Her black and white eyes also looked at Emperor Xuanping sincerely and purely.
Emperor Xuanping looked at it and believed what she said was true.
"It seems that Xiao Jiu'er has really grown up a lot these days when he went to Yunmeng Academy to study. He now knows how to care about the country and the people."
Emperor Xuanping dismissed the doubts in his heart and pinched the fleshy little cheeks lovingly, "But don't worry, dad will make preparations in advance to prevent the cold and survive the winter. Xiao Jiuer's birthday party will also have to be celebrated.
.
"Xiao Jiu'er will be four years old soon.
"Dad has never celebrated your birthday in the past three years. This year, we must not miss it."
His words were very firm.
Then, he carefully considered his tone and said, "It's just that this year I may have to aggrieve Xiao Jiu'er. Daddy plans to advance your birthday two days to celebrate with Concubine Chu's birthday..."
The words are not finished yet.
"all right."
With a nonchalant tone, Yu Jiujiu tugged at his sleeves with her little hands, and said with a sweet smile: "Dad, if you have to celebrate Jiujiu's birthday, then Jiujiu wants to do it according to his own ideas."
"Oh? What does Xiao Jiuer want to do?" Emperor Xuanping asked, raising his eyebrows.
"First of all, Jiujiu doesn't want to celebrate her birthday in the palace." Yu Jiujiu said in a sweet voice.
"Not in the palace..." Emperor Xuanping frowned.
However, he had promised Concubine Chu that he would celebrate her birthday in the palace this year.
Mainly using this as an excuse to ask her to go back to the palace and visit the place where her father used to live.
"Yes, Jiujiu is in the palace every day and feels that being in the palace is too troublesome!"
Yu Jiujiu said softly, and then continued, "The second thing is that Jiujiu wants to hold a charity birthday banquet!
"Outside the palace, just stay at the Jiang family!
"Dad, the imperial grandmother, the queen's mother, and the concubine's mother all gave Jiu Jiu so many good things.
"Jiujiu wants to take some out and auction them outside the palace.
"All the proceeds from the auction are used to buy winter clothing, food, charcoal and other winter supplies for the poor families who are suffering from the severe cold in winter."
Yu Jiujiu finished speaking.
Emperor Xuanping couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
this is a good idea.
Why didn't he think of it?
This winter has been extremely cold, coupled with the drought of the past few years. Although the weather has been smooth over the past six months, some places have experienced difficulties in surviving the winter due to previous accumulation.
Most of the piles of memorials on the table are from various places requesting supplies for disaster relief this winter.
But the national treasury is not rich and cannot provide so much silver at the moment.
What's more, several countries in the north are also very ambitious. If a war breaks out one day, and there is no money in the national treasury, it will be difficult to fight the war.
But in this way, Concubine Chu’s birthday will be...
"Dad, Jiujiu also heard from Concubine De's mother about Concubine Chu's birthday."
At this time, Yu Jiujiu saw Emperor Xuanping's expression changing constantly, so she started to whisper again, "Mother Concubine De said that Concubine Chu is kind-hearted, and her fiftieth birthday would not be meaningful if it were held in this way.
"Jiujiu feels that with her kindness, she will definitely agree to do this!
"Why should dad listen to Jiu Jiu and give Concubine Chu a surprise?
"If dad can trust Jiu Jiu, let Jiu Jiu take care of this matter!"
The little girl said so confidently.
Emperor Xuanping looked at her confident look.
Although there was still some hesitation in my heart, and I felt that it was inappropriate for Concubine Chu, in the end I still chose state affairs first.
"Well, daddy will leave this matter to Xiao Jiuer!"
Emperor Xuanping immediately responded.
At worst, after this birthday banquet, he will choose a day to bring Concubine Chu to the palace to live there for a while!
"Also, daddy, this matter must be kept secret! If we tell it in advance, it won't be a surprise!"
Yu Jiujiu said, making a "shh" motion with her little hand.
Emperor Xuanping was immediately struck by her cuteness.
"Don't worry, daddy will keep his mouth shut and won't tell anyone!" He smiled and touched the little girl's head and agreed.
"Then daddy, will Jiujiu accompany you to read the memorial? With Jiujiu here, daddy got upset, so he talked to Jiujiu!" Yu Jiujiu said again.
"OK."
Emperor Xuanping held Xiaotuanzi in his arms and read the memorial all night without feeling bored.
Yu Jiujiu took the opportunity to read many memorials.
However, she pretended not to understand, and sometimes pointed to a certain word with her little finger, asking Emperor Xuanping to explain to her what word it was and what it meant. Emperor Xuanping only thought the little breasts were cute.
.
It wasn't until the night got a little late that Yu Jiujiu came out of the Hall of Nourishing Heart with her little hands behind her back and a thoughtful face.
"Flowing Wind."
She suddenly called out.
"Princess."
Liufeng immediately came out of the darkness and knelt respectfully aside.
"Now go to Cining Palace, find Aunt Bingyan, and tell her these words of mine." Yu Jiujiu ordered.
