Ye Chen was startled by Tao Zhuo's words.
He glanced at the woman.
She looked at Ye Chen very seriously.
Their eyes are very bright.
Ye Chen had a headache.
“You haven’t even known what kind of person I am, yet you say you like me and want to be with me.”
Tao Zhuo spoke very seriously.
"I'm not joking, I believe in love at first sight."
"I believe that the person I like at first sight is the one I'm looking for."
Ye Chen frowned and said.
"But I don't like you."
"Why?"
"Just like you said, how could someone I'm looking for be someone I don't like at first sight?"
Tao Zhuo fell silent.
"That--"
"Moreover, I came to the grassland this time to search for ruby mines, not to find a woman to be my wife."
"I hope you understand that I don't want to waste my time on romantic relationships right now."
After Ye Chen said all that...
Then he turned around and left.
Keep staring at the lake.
Tao Zhuo walked over.
"Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends, right?"
Ye Chen did not answer the question.
Tao Zhuo asked again.
"We can't even be friends?"
Ye Chen nodded.
"Can."
“Then I will accompany you to search for ruby mines. The little princess said that rubies can heal broken bones, so I will do my best for the grasslands.”
"Over the years, thanks to the protection of the king, I have grown up without any worries. Now it is time for me to do something for the Great Kingdom."
Ye Chen asked.
Are there any existing ruby mines on the grasslands?
Tao Zhuo nodded.
"Yes, but there's only one, and the production of rubies is not high."
"If you can produce 100 kilograms a year, that's considered very high!"
Ye Chen thought for a moment.
"One hundred kilograms is not even comparable to the monthly output of the gold mines in the Great Yuan Kingdom."
"Unless a very large ruby mine is discovered, we cannot guarantee that production can keep up."
Tao Zhuo said.
"We've been searching for years, but we haven't found it yet."
"If we can find it this time because of your and the little princess's arrival, that would be a good thing."
"You've been staring at this lake, but is there any clue on it?"
Ye Chen nodded.
"The moon reflected in the water, that's the only clue."
"Where did you get this clue?"
“What Master Cangyun in the palace says, what he says, is never wrong.”
Tao Zhuo thought for a moment.
"Could it be referring to the moon reflected on the lake?"
Ye Chen shook his head.
"I haven't seen anything suspicious yet."
Tao Zhuo thought for a moment and said.
"If it's not a reflection of the moon in the water, is it a place name? Or something else?"
Ye Chen turned around.
"I can't think of anything right now, let's go back and rest."
Tao Zhuo followed.
Ye Chen didn't ask anything.
After Ye Chen returned...
Ye Qianqian asked him.
"Any clues?" Ye Chen shook his head.
"So, Tao Zhuo came to see you, right?"
"Yes! I rejected her."
Ye Qianqian shrugged.
"It's perfectly reasonable."
Sezhuo felt embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Ye Chen shook his head.
"It doesn't matter!"
"I didn't take it to heart at first."
"Sezhuo, how old is the oldest person on this grassland?"
"One hundred and ten years old, that's Grandma Yue Zhuo."
"Can you take me to meet her tomorrow?"
"Um!"
After Tao Zhuo returned.
It's a bit stressful.
Hua Zhuo asked her after seeing it.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just confessed my feelings to the Third Prince and was rejected."
Hua Zhuo laughed after hearing this.
"I knew you would do this!"
"What? Can't I pursue a man I like?"
"Of course you can, but only if the other person likes you too. Ye Chen doesn't like you right now, so what are you going to do?"
"What else can we do? Just give up! But I'll still help him find the ruby mine!"
"For no other reason than so that our people in the Great Tu Kingdom can also have a medicinal ingredient to treat fractures."
"We people on the grasslands start practicing horseback riding and archery from a young age, and it's inevitable that we'll suffer from falls, sprains, and fractures. Now that we have a prescription to treat these injuries, of course we'll do our best to make this happen!"
Hua Zhuo nodded.
"Hmm, that's more like you!"
"However, finding a ruby mine is not such a simple matter!"
Tao Zhuo said.
"It's all up to human effort!"
"By the way, Hua Zhuo! Do you know what the 'moon in the water' means?"
"It's just the moon's reflection in the water! Isn't that obvious?"
"no!"
Tao Zhu shook his head.
"Ye Chen said that the ruby mine is related to the Moon in the Water, but looking at that lake, it doesn't seem like there's a ruby mine there. How could there be one in the water? If there were, why weren't our ancestors discovered it in the past hundred years?"
Hua Zhuo thought for a moment.
"You've asked me the right question. If even the older generation doesn't know this, how could I possibly know it!"
Tao Zhuo thought for a moment.
"Why don't we ask Grandma Yuezhuo tomorrow? Oh, right, her name has the character 'Yue' in it, maybe that's related to this ruby mine?!"
