"What if I report this to the imperial court, and they send people to dig for gold, but they don't find any gold after digging for a long time? Would that be considered deceiving the emperor?"

Boss Ye's words also confused Mrs. Ye.

yes!

Finding a gold mine and reporting it to the court would definitely be a great thing, and the emperor might even reward you.

But what if there is a big mistake and there is no gold mine at all? Will the emperor then punish Boss Ye for deceiving the emperor?

"Yes, yes, we should ask Prince Rui first." Mrs. Ye raised her hand and touched Qingtian's little face with concern. "No matter what, Prince Rui can at least give us some advice for Qingtian's sake."

When Qingtian heard this, he quickly said, "Okay, Dad, I will take you to find your father now.

"Don't worry, he loves me very much. I'll go and tell him that he will definitely help you."

Qingtian was supposed to live in Prince Rui's mansion for the past half month.

But because Boss Ye suddenly came back to pick her up at the gate of Qin Mansion, she said she wanted to go home with Boss Ye and sent the coachman of Prince Rui's Mansion back.

So Prince Rui, who had specially returned from the yamen at noon to have lunch with his daughter, was disappointed today.

The couple sat opposite each other and had their meal. Although it had always been like this before, now they always felt like something was missing.

Usually when Qingtian was around, she would always talk about what new things she had learned from Mr. Wei in the morning. Sometimes she would also talk about what snacks she had eaten at the Qin Mansion, what toys she played with Qin Hexuan, etc.

They were all trivial matters, but Prince Rui and his wife listened to them very carefully.

Even during the half month that Qingtian didn't come to stay, the topics between the two of them naturally almost all revolved around Qingtian.

After dinner, Princess Rui sighed and said, "The eldest son of the Ye family is back. Qingtian will probably stay over there today and not come back, right?"

"Ye Jia Dalang has been away for several months, so it's normal for the child to miss him."

Although Prince Rui said this, he actually felt a little empty in his heart.

Just as he was about to return to the yamen to continue handling official business, a servant suddenly came to announce: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has returned home."

Prince Rui and Princess Rui's faces instantly brightened upon hearing this.

Prince Rui even stood up and prepared to go out to greet his little princess.

"Why are you back so soon? Why didn't you say a few more words to Ye Jia Dalang?" Prince Rui said this, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. "I don't know if Qingtian has eaten lunch. I'll go check on him."

The servant quickly added, "Your Highness, the princess came back with Ye's eldest son and said she had something important to tell you."

When he heard that there was Ye Jia Dalang, the smile on Prince Rui's face, which had been so bright just now, froze.

But since Qingtian said so, he had to give his daughter face and go over to listen to what was going on.

Princess Rui guessed, "I heard that Ye's eldest son went outside the Great Wall this time to get some mountain products.

"Now that he's back, maybe he wants us to help him find a market for his products?

"If this is really the case, Your Majesty, please do not embarrass yourself.

"Even for the sake of Qingtian, we should help him if we can."

Princess Rui was worried that Mr. Ye would make excessive demands and anger Prince Rui. If things got unpleasant, Qingtian would definitely feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle, so she gave him a special reminder.

But Prince Rui said: "I don't think Ye Jia Dalang is such a person.

"If he was such a greedy person, why would he go out for several months to buy mountain products? He could just make money from us during the sunny day."

After Prince Rui finished speaking, he came to the flower hall in the front yard. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Boss Ye sitting inside, looking a little uneasy.

Qingtian stood beside him, half of her body resting on his knees, and it was unclear what she was saying to him.

"The prince has arrived." The servant of the palace announced in a long voice.

Qingtian heard the voice and turned around. When he saw Prince Rui, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly ran over, grabbed Prince Rui's hand, and pulled him to the table.

"Father, look, what is this!"

Prince Rui glanced at the few grains of gold sand the size of rice grains on the table, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen something similar before.

And that time was...

Prince Rui recalled for a moment and suddenly realized something.

He suddenly looked up at Boss Ye and asked in a trembling voice, "You, where did you get this thing?"

Seeing his reaction and question, Boss Ye knew that he understood.

So Boss Ye told Prince Rui everything about how he discovered the gold sand in the river and how only the two of them knew about it, but they didn't know how to report it to the court.

Prince Rui was stunned when he heard this. How could it be such a coincidence?

After hearing what Boss Ye said, Prince Rui lowered his head and looked at the gold sand on the table again.

The feeling when watching it again now is completely different from before.

Although he didn't know much about this, when he saw such large and seemingly high-purity gold sand, he couldn't help but wonder how big this gold mine would be and how much it would produce.

More people are concerned about the impact that the sudden discovery of a new gold mine will have on the entire Da Qi.

When he thought of this, Prince Rui could no longer sit still.

He carefully placed the gold sand into his personal purse, then said to Mr. Ye: "I will have someone deliver the invitation to the palace. Please prepare yourself and come with me to the palace later."

Upon hearing this, Boss Ye quickly asked, "Prince Rui, this gold sand was discovered by me and another person. Can I ask him to come along?"
