"Brother Cheng, what happened?" Boss Ye quickly helped Boss Cheng up and comforted him for a long time before he could barely calm down.
Boss Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother Ye, just based on your calmness, you are much better than me."
In fact, Boss Ye was not at all nervous, but when he thought about the fact that his wife and daughter had already met the emperor, he felt that the emperor should not be that scary.
On this side, the post that Prince Rui sent to the palace soon received a reply.
In fact, for him, this was just a formality. The emperor had never rejected his request to enter the palace.
So Prince Rui didn't delay at all and ordered people to prepare a car and take Boss Ye and Boss Cheng into the palace.
Qingtian was worried that Boss Ye would be too nervous when seeing the emperor, so he took the initiative to ask to go into the palace with him.
Boss Ye and Boss Cheng were sitting in the carriage of Prince Rui's mansion. As they got closer to the palace gate, they became more and more nervous.
Even Boss Ye, who had been relatively calm, began to feel dry mouth and kept swallowing hard.
Boss Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead again. He didn't know where all the sweat came from in such a cold weather.
"Oh, I never thought that I could go to the palace with you to meet the emperor.
"If my father knew about this, he would be so excited that he would die.
"He always said that unless my ancestors' graves are filled with smoke, I will never achieve anything in my life.
"This time when I go back, I will ask the old man to go back to his hometown and check if there is really smoke coming out of the ancestral grave."
Because he was nervous, Boss Cheng kept talking all the way.
The carriage of Prince Rui's mansion stopped outside the palace gate. Boss Cheng was as if someone had suddenly grabbed his neck and fell silent in an instant.
Boss Ye got out of the car first, then very foresightedly turned around and helped Boss Cheng.
Otherwise, Boss Cheng’s knees would probably go weak again and he would fall to the ground.
Qingtian also got off Prince Rui's carriage and ran over to Ye Laodao, "Dad, I'm with you. Don't be afraid."
Boss Ye laughed and said, "Dad isn't afraid, but your Uncle Cheng is the one who is really scared."
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Cheng." Qingtian said with her little face raised, "Uncle Huang is a very good person."
Boss Cheng never thought that one day he would be called uncle together with the emperor. He felt like he was having trouble breathing.
But maybe it was because he was too nervous, but he gradually calmed down and was not as clumsy as before.
Soon, Prince Rui took them into the palace and went straight to Tianyi Tower.
Because Prince Rui's reason for requesting to see the emperor was to report something important, the emperor had already dismissed most of the palace servants and only kept a few trusted confidants.
In this way, the pressure on Boss Ye and Boss Cheng will be much less.
However, the two men bowed down as soon as they entered the room. Even when they heard someone stand up, they lowered their heads deeply and did not dare to look around.
Just as the two of them were standing there at a loss, the emperor raised his hand and called Qingtian to come to his side.
"In the future, when you have nothing to do, come to the palace more often with your parents. The Queen likes you very much." The emperor said, and asked Wang Wei to bring up the prepared snacks and let Qingtian eat and play by himself.
"Thank you, Uncle Huang." Qingtian thanked him in a baby voice, then sat aside obediently, but his attention was still on Boss Ye.
After Qingtian settled down, the emperor asked, "Seventh Brother, you said you had something important to report. What exactly is going on?"
Prince Rui quickly took out his purse, raised his hand and beckoned Wang Wei over, saying, "My Royal Highness, take a look at this first."
Wang Wei hurried over, took Prince Rui's purse with both hands, and then turned around and placed it on the dragon table.
The Emperor glanced at the purse and jokingly said, "Why, is this the new purse the princess made for you? Are you showing it off to me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wei broke out in a sweat.
He quickly opened his purse and poured the contents into a small tray.
But what came out were only a dozen grains of gold sand.
Wang Wei looked into his purse again to make sure there was nothing else inside.
Now he was even more confused. Did Prince Rui come to the palace just to show the emperor some gold?
But there was really nothing else in the purse, so Wang Wei could only present the tray to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, when the emperor saw the gold sand on the tray, his breathing suddenly became rapid.
He quickly picked up a grain and took a closer look.
He had seen this kind of gold sand once when he was still the crown prince and was following the late emperor to learn how to handle state affairs.
At that time, a gold mine was discovered in Youjiang, Yongzhou, but the yield there was very low, and the tribute was stopped within a few years.
The gold sand discovered at that time was far smaller than what we see now.
So after the emperor carefully looked at the gold sand, he immediately looked up at Prince Rui, eager to prove whether his guess was correct.
Prince Rui immediately said: "Ye Qingchen and this Cheng..."
He got stuck at this point, then he remembered that he didn't even know Boss Cheng's name.
Boss Cheng quickly bowed and said, "I am Cheng Yanbo."
"Yes, this Cheng Yanbo and I discovered gold sand in the river water in Jiapigou Mountain outside the Great Wall. We wanted to report it to the court, so after returning to Beijing, we immediately came to my brother's house.
"Upon hearing of this, I dared not delay and hurriedly brought the two men and the gold sand they had found in the river to report to my royal brother.
"However, whether there is indeed a gold mine in Jiapigou and the scale of the gold mine are still unknown. We still need to arrange for people to conduct on-site exploration to get a rough idea."
Having said that, the emperor couldn't help but feel excited.
You know, no gold mine with high grain yield has been discovered in this dynasty so far.
