Chapter 97: Giving Gifts to Uncle Emperor

The emperor was thinking about it when he arrived at the border of Longmian Mountain.

The patrolling officials immediately reported that they found two little kids on the east side of Longmian Mountain. They looked well dressed, but they refused to go down the mountain no matter how they were persuaded, saying that they wanted to wait for the emperor to pick them up in person.

Those officials did not dare to act rashly, fearing that they were the children of some high-ranking officials and nobles, so they had to let people watch them carefully and were about to send a letter.

Tang Yanjun and Pei Mingliang did not dare to speak loudly. From the tone of their voices, they must be the Ninth Prince and Su Xiaoxiao. Who else would dare to let the emperor come to pick them up in person? These two children are really fierce.

"Take us to see!" Gu Huaiyu couldn't wait any longer. Xiaojiu and Xiaoxiao were both very important people to him.

When they arrived at the place, the two little ones were eating the snacks sent by the patrolling officials.

"Sister, this is very sweet, try it!" Gu Huaian handed a piece of chestnut cake to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was not vague and took a piece of peach cake to feed Gu Huaian.

The brother and sister were polite and reasonable, and they were having a great time.

The emperor was furious when he saw how happy they were. They turned the capital upside down, and you two were having a picnic here: "Gu Huaian, you little bastard, who told you to bring your sister here! Xiaoxiao, come and see the emperor uncle, are you okay?"

The emperor left the palace and was no longer as pretentious as before.

Gu Huaian was frightened and trembled, and the snack in his hand fell to the ground with a plop.

"Wow... wow..." Gu Huaian burst into tears. "Father, I almost couldn't see you!"

The emperor was stunned. Wasn't he fine just now?

Su Xiaoxiao secretly complained: [What is Ninth Brother doing? Weren't you very brave before and always protecting me? ]

Gu Huaiyu knew from the call of Ninth Brother that Gu Huaian finally caught Su Xiaoxiao's eye.

After all, he was a prince who was raised in luxury. He was missing for a day and a night and was found in such a remote place. I don't know how much he suffered. The emperor finally softened his tone: "Okay, stop crying. Look, Xiaoxiao didn't even cry!"

Su Xiaoxiao now has the mentality of a baby. When she saw Su Changhe and Gu Huaiyu, she wanted to open her arms and ask for a hug immediately.

But the boy changed his mind and thought: [Although he wanted his elder brother and the crown prince to hold him, he would be happy if he was held by the emperor, so all his elder brothers wouldn't be punished!]

Having made up his mind, Su Xiaoxiao choked up her tears and reached out to Emperor Xiaode.

Emperor Xiaode's heart melted and his eyes became wet. Xiaoxiao turned out to be the first person she looked for, which was really a great honor.

"Xiaoxiao, don't cry. Uncle Emperor is here. Come, uncle will take a look. Is there any injury? Why do you become hungry and thin after not seeing you for a day?"

Gu Huaian, who just felt that his father was somewhat kind to him, suddenly felt bad. He was so fierce to him, but so kind to Xiaoxiao. He was a hero who protected his sister, and he also wanted a hug.

"Father, I want you to hug me too!" Gu Huaian's eyes were full of expectation.

"Where to go!" He was really blind. Xiaoxiao was so soft and tender. He hadn't hugged her for a long time.

Gu Huaiyu knew Xiaoxiao's good intentions, and hurriedly hugged Gu Huaian like a little adult: "Huaian, dear, your sister is younger, don't fight with him, come and let your brother hug you!"

Gu Huaian burst into laughter. Compared with his father, he liked his second brother more.

Those local officials simply couldn't believe their ears. That man kept calling him Uncle Emperor. Was he the current emperor? Would they ever get to see the emperor again in their lifetime? Immediately, a large group of people knelt in front of the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stand up. I am traveling incognito this time. You don't have to be polite, and don't disturb the people nearby. Have you investigated the sinkhole? What happened?"

The leading officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the sinkhole is very strange. There was no sign before. The whole mountain sank several feet. Fortunately, it didn't collapse again later. If we want to find out the reason, we may have to dig deep underground."

[What are you digging for? If you dig, you will reveal the truth. If you want to dig, you should dig the mountain in front of you. Su Xiaoxiao felt guilty and took out the raw gold stone from her arms and stuffed it into the hands of Emperor Xiaode.

Emperor Xiaode said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao has prepared a gift for uncle!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was excited. This is not an ordinary stone, this is - gold.

He still couldn't believe it, and handed the raw stone to Tang Yanjun: "Yanjun, come and see what this is?"

Tang Yanjun and Pei Mingliang checked again and again, and said with certainty: "Your Majesty, this should be a raw gold stone."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded happily and pointed to the towering mountain in front of him: "Ang Ang Ang..."

It's really hard work. Did the emperor understand? This mountain is full of gold mines. I have taken the sample, so it should move! Su Xiaoxiao couldn't say what she had to say, she was so depressed!

Su Changhe was very excited, my god, Xiaoxiao found a gold mine, this is a great achievement, my uncle said a few days ago that silver for disaster relief was in short supply, now it's here.

Gu Huaiyu was also overjoyed, if there really was a gold mine, Dashuo would get rid of the label of poverty, and my father would no longer have to worry about money.

The emperor still didn't understand, and asked patiently: "Xiaoxiao, what do you want?"

Su Changhe couldn't help it: "Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao may want to tell you that this rough stone was picked up from this mountain."

Gu Huaiyu was afraid that his father would not understand, so he added: "If this is really the case, maybe this mountain contains gold mines?"

There is no problem in theory, but Emperor Xiaode felt that such a good thing could not fall on his head. He was always aggrieved and the first person to take the blame.

However, he changed his mind and thought that after Xiaoxiao was born, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. Since Qiuyu succeeded, Dashuo's national fortune began to improve, and his reputation was getting better and better.

Xiaoxiao said there was a gold mine, and there was a gold mine. He waved his hand and told the local officials to take good care of Longmian Mountain, and sent people to arrange craftsmen to survey as soon as possible.

If there is a gold mine, many difficult problems can be solved. Xiaoxiao is really his lucky star. The emperor feels that he can't hug Xiaoxiao enough.

[What are you measuring? You can see it by just digging a shovel. Send heavy troops to guard it quickly, don't let the bad guys ruin it! ] Su Xiaoxiao was anxious. Longmian Mountain was so noisy, the eldest prince and his men would definitely come to take their stocks. If they were desperate and took back the gold mine, they would lose a lot.

Although she was greedy, she didn't want these gold mines that could benefit the people to be destroyed. Then she took out the Zanyue Sword from her arms and gestured a bit.

The emperor laughed out loud: "You lost yourself just for this thing?" He didn't consider how her small pocket could hold both gold and a sword.

Others didn't notice it either, because Su Xiaoxiao made a few blind gestures and made several large holes in the ground.
