Chapter 366
Zhu Jingchen was taken aback when he heard this. He hadn't expected his older sister to be so direct. He had already deliberately changed the subject, but the Grand Princess turned around and threw the question to Xu Heming.
Xu Heming did not immediately answer the Grand Princess's question, but looked at Zhu Jingchen beside him with a pleading look. After all, she was the Grand Princess, and he could not refuse her.
Zhu Jingchen coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, before saying, "Haha, Your Highness, you truly have an eye for talent! This is indeed iron ore."
Zhu Jingchen thought that since the Grand Princess had already found out, there was no need for him to hide it any longer.
"Your Majesty, has an iron ore mine really been discovered?" the Grand Princess asked in surprise.
Xu Heming watched from the side without saying a word.
After all, they haven't planned to announce the iron ore mine to the public yet.
However, if the Emperor were to reveal this matter, then it would be a different story.
Moreover, even Li Tianyou didn't know that there was an iron mine on Wangxian Mountain.
"Yes, an iron ore deposit has been discovered." Zhu Jingchen no longer concealed the truth; after all, it was impossible to hide it any longer.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Princess was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Truly, Heaven blesses our Lanno Kingdom! It is truly a blessing for our Lanno Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you! Congratulations!" The Grand Princess knelt down excitedly and said.
"Your Highness, please rise quickly. This matter was only just discovered, and I hope Your Highness will not make a fuss about it." Zhu Jingchen trusted the Grand Princess's character, but still gave her a second explanation out of concern.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I am aware of this matter," the Grand Princess quickly replied.
"So this stone was found at that iron mine?" The Grand Princess looked again at the heart-shaped iron ore still held in Zhu Jingchen's hand and asked.
“Yes, since this was given to Nuonuo by Qingshi, then let’s leave it to Nuonuo!” After saying that, Zhu Jingchen quickly handed the stone in his hand to the Grand Princess.
"This—" The Grand Princess knew that this was iron ore and hesitated to accept it. After all, the Emperor had just said that this matter should not be made public. If someone noticed anything amiss, she was afraid that the Emperor's important matter would be revealed.
“Elder sister, Nuonuo is still a child. You can keep her for now. When she grows up, you can hand her over to her.” Zhu Jingchen seemed to see the Grand Princess’s hesitation and said.
"Your Majesty is right." The Grand Princess thought for a moment, and decided to keep the item safe so that no one else would know about it.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and Miss Cheng have arrived," a young eunuch said softly as he entered, bowing low.
"Let them in," Zhu Jingchen said directly.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects! May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!" The Empress was surprised to find that Prince An and the Grand Princess were also present.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects! Long live the Emperor!" Cheng Qingli didn't know why the Emperor had summoned her again, but with the Empress present, although she was afraid, she wasn't too uneasy.
"No need for formalities."
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!"
