Chapter 443 Ask directly
"It's okay. You don't need to worry about my safety."
Cheng An wanted to say something, but when he met Li Hongting's warning eyes, he said nothing in the end!
Since the master has already made arrangements, there is nothing he can say!
The next day!
After dinner, Lu Shian sat in the hammock in a daze.
Lu'er was very worried when she saw Lu Shi'an like this.
"Miss, why don't we go see the eldest lady."
Hearing this suggestion, Lu Shian became excited: "Okay, let's go now."
As long as she could leave the Prince's Mansion, she would be happy.
As soon as she jumped off the hammock, she saw Li Hongting walking towards her.
Li Hongting originally had something to do, but he happened to pass by here and saw Lu Shian sitting here, so he walked over involuntarily.
"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Hongting frowned slightly: "I told you that you don't have to call yourself a concubine."
Lu Shian just smiled and let Li Hongting help him up.
Looking at the person in front of him, Li Hongting thought of what happened last night again, and he suddenly didn't want to go and check it out without her knowing.
"Shi'an, I have something to ask you, and you must answer truthfully."
"Prince, please speak."
"Did you secretly mine that gold mine?"
Lu Shian denied it without thinking: "No, why would the prince ask that?"
Seeing Lu Shian's decisive answer, Li Hongting had no doubts at all: "Yesterday, a pigeon sent a letter saying that someone in Huainan City was secretly mining gold."
Lu Shian frowned: "Secretly mining gold? Did you say where you mined it?"
Li Hongting shook his head: "The specific location was not mentioned, but gold mines are not something that can be found everywhere. Dayuan Country is so vast, but there is only one gold mine."
Lu Shian understood what Li Hongting meant: "I know, so you suspect that I am secretly mining without the knowledge of the imperial court?"
"Since I'm here to ask you, I naturally believe you."
Lu Shian bowed again: "This matter is very simple, Prince, you and I can go to the palace together and donate the gold mine."
Li Hongting was stunned. He couldn't believe it. It was a gold mine. It was a gold mine. How could it be handed over just like that?
"Are you willing?"
Lu Shian shrugged: "I am a little reluctant, but I am more afraid of death. I won't be heartbroken to hand over the gold mine, but if the emperor finds out, I am afraid I will die."
Li Hongting chuckled when he heard this: "You can tell the difference clearly."
Lu Shian went back to his room, changed his clothes, and followed Li Hongting into the palace.
The emperor was very happy to hear the news.
"Okay, okay, okay! Hahahaha..."
"You are indeed a good son. Reward, a big reward."
Gold mine, that is a gold mine. With the gold mine, the treasury of Dayuan Kingdom will soon be filled.
By that time, he would no longer have to worry about money.
After rewarding the two men, the emperor did not let them leave. He wanted to discuss with the prince how to negotiate with the Dayuan Kingdom.
Lu Shian didn't understand why this happened, and he also knew that he was a little redundant here, so he made an excuse to go see the Queen Mother and escaped.
The emperor didn't care much about it. After all, it was not appropriate for women to be present when discussing important matters of the court.
Only the father and son were left in the imperial study. The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said, "Ting'er, what do you think of the Wu Kingdom coming to negotiate?"
"Father, there have been either severe droughts or floods in the past two years. Not only has our Dayuan Kingdom suffered terribly, but even the Wu Kingdom has also suffered. I think now is the best time to negotiate peace."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction. He also thought so: "Before, because of your wedding, the matter of Wu Kingdom was not put on the agenda. Now that they have been here for some time, it is time to talk about business."
After the envoys from Wu arrived, the emperor held a grand banquet in the palace to entertain the prince and princess of Wu.
Afterwards, they were left aside using the excuse of the crown prince's wedding. Now, several days have passed since the crown prince's wedding, and it is time to have a good talk with the State of Wu.
"My son, I obey."
Li Hongting came out from the Emperor and went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Lu Shian didn't have many friends in the palace, so that was the only place he could go.
Lu Shian chatted with the Empress Dowager, making her laugh a lot.
"Shi'an girl, you are my happy pill. As long as you come to the palace, I will be very happy."
"Since the Royal Grandmother likes Shi'an so much, why not let Shi'an stay and accompany her?"
It would be nice if I could stay with the Empress Dowager.
"That won't do. If I leave you here, Ting'er will blame me."
Li Hongting's voice came from outside the palace: "How dare your grandson blame your royal grandmother? Your grandson is too close to your royal grandmother."
"Look, look, you just arrived and he chased after you. If you stay with me, he will dare to stay here and not leave."
The Empress Dowager joked, and Lu Shian laughed along: "If the prince wants to stay, let him stay. When the time comes, let him help the Imperial Grandmother guard the door. Make sure no one dares to disturb the Imperial Grandmother."
Li Hongting smiled and said, "How can anyone dare to disturb the Royal Grandmother? If so, then I will stay here and help the Royal Grandmother to watch over the place and see who dares to disturb her."
"Who is it? Who is it? If you stay, someone will disturb the Imperial Grandmother."
As they spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
Li Hongting shook his head: "So it was my grandson who disturbed the Imperial Grandmother. Well, I'm here to disturb you, but I'm not leaving."
"You, you are the prince now, why are you imitating others' ability to throw tantrums and roll around?"
"Even if my grandson is the crown prince, he is still my grandmother's grandson."
Li Hongting would only be like this when he was with the Empress Dowager.
While chatting, Lu Shian estimated that it was time for lunch, so he stood up and asked to go to the kitchen to make a few side dishes for the empress dowager.
As soon as Lu Shian left, the Empress Dowager stopped smiling and waved to Li Hongting.
"Come and sit here."
Li Hongting knew that the Imperial Grandmother had something to say to him, so he came to her side obediently and said, "Imperial Grandmother."
"Now that we're married, my daughter has grown up."
"In front of the Imperial Grandmother, Ting'er will always be that child."
"Hey, you, I want to ask you, have you been accompanying Shi'an girl these days?"
"The Empress Dowager should know that I like her."
"Shi'an is a good girl, but as the crown prince, you should know the principle of treating everyone equally. You think you are protecting her, but you don't know that you are harming her."
"You are the crown prince. Let's not talk about the future. For now, it is impossible that there are only these two people around you. You are responsible for expanding the royal family. There will be many women around you in the future. You should know that the harem is related to the previous dynasty. You favor the concubine and neglect the crown princess. Do you know what this means?"
The Queen Mother looked at her outstanding grandson and continued, "You favor Shi'an. I have nothing to say. This girl deserves to be favored, but don't forget that you are the crown prince."
