He Lianfang was playing chess and asked Zhao Yao how he viewed the Emperor's decision to betroth General Lu's daughter to the Fourth Prince.
Zhao Yao said that the Emperor was having the Fourth Prince step forward to maintain balance.
"There's something I forgot to tell you."
Zhao Yao raised his eyes curiously to look at He Lianfang: "What is it?"
He Lianfang nonchalantly said, "The Princess of Annan's maternal family's territory has a gold mine."
"What, a gold mine, really?" Zhao Yao puffed his cheeks and said, "Uncle, why didn't you tell me before?"
"I forgot."
Zhao Yao: "..." Uncle, were you doing this on purpose?
"Does the Annan Royal Family know about this?"
"They don't know. The Princess's maternal family has kept it a secret," He Lianfang stated with an air of calm, "They haven't exploited the gold mine."
"Why is that?"
