Chapter 10: She Could Actually Use Magic Tools Too

Some officials were dissatisfied, but another pointed to the court: "This one's son occupies 20 points of blessing value and 20 points of fortune value. Our Great Yan Kingdom's blessings and fortune can finally be considered to have risen a bit. Don't mention it."

The dissatisfied officials closed their mouths and didn't mention it.

The Great Yan Emperor held the child. He was young and not heavy. The child stared with black, round eyes, looking here and there, chewing on his small fist. Rong Juan glanced at him and took him over.

The Great Yan Emperor finally sent him away. Rong Juan held the child, tidied up the child's small garment, used a delicate small porcelain spoon to scoop a little warm water, moved away the child's small hand, and fed him water.

The Great Yan Emperor peeked. The little guy was quite well-behaved.

The Great Yan Emperor considered it and took the opportunity to say: "Rong Juan, your child's full-month banquet has been held, so even if it's the confinement period, the full month is over. It's time to go to court!"

"No." Rong Juan fed the child water while saying: "His mother is weak, and Rong Yang is still young. If I go to court, no one will take care of him, and I don't trust anyone else."

Rong Juan, He Yan, and the Great Yan Emperor were brothers, so there was no need to refer to himself as a subject.

The Great Yan Emperor didn't care, but he was most concerned that Rong Juan couldn't go to court, so he was anxious: "The court affairs are busy. You always bring up the child at home. Who will help me handle the court affairs?"

Rong Juan pondered for a moment and said: "A month or two later. Wait until my son is a bit bigger. He's too weak just after the full month."

Rong Juan had given a definite answer, so the Great Yan Emperor had no choice but to let it go.

After the full-month banquet, the Great Yan Emperor returned to the palace, and soon after, many precious tonics were sent from the palace, all for nourishing lifespan and spirit. The Great Yan Emperor was very impatient to handle court affairs, hoping Rong Juan would hurry back to court.

Rong Yang hadn't seen Qin Bi for half a day. When he returned to the courtyard, he only stopped crying when Qin Bi held him.

Qin Bi's heart softened, but she was also somewhat sad. She had damaged her spirit and was unable to take care of the child, but the child still missed her. Thinking of this, Qin Bi wanted to cry, but quickly stopped, restraining her emotions.

This was the result of a damaged lifespan—the heart not mastering the spirit, making it easy to feel low when thinking too much.

After dinner, Qin Bi teased Rong Yang. The child giggled, and a smile appeared on Rong Juan's cold, hard face.

Qin Bi didn't want to let her heart not master her spirit. The next day, the sun was good. She held Rong Yang and went to the courtyard, found a piece of land with decent soil, and took a small hoe to dig soil and play with the child.

Rong Juan saw it in the study, took the small teacup Qin Bi had condensed before, and gave it to Rong Yang.

The child grabbed it and chewed, talking to Rong Juan and Qin Bi: "Ah, ah..."

Rong Juan didn't stop him. The small teacup was a magic tool and very clean.

Rong Juan stood up and returned to the study.

Qin Bi talked to the child, smiling and asking: "What are you saying?"

Rong Yang stopped chewing the small teacup and opened his small mouth to speak.

Qin Bi smiled, simply sat on the ground, and Rong Juan wasn't there. She had said that planting something would be good for her. Playing with soil was just right. Qin Bi held the child in one hand and dug soil with the small hoe in the other.

She didn't know about other places, but the soil in the Great Yan Kingdom was dry and not delicate. Qin Bi had followed her Third Uncle to serve as a County Magistrate, and the soil she had seen was prone to hardening, even worse than this.

Qin Bi called for a maid, brought a few small wine cups, and Qin Bi used the small wine cups to press small cups in the soil.

Pressed one, it scattered. The soil was very dry.

Continued to press, and it took a good while to press a good soil cup.

The little guy watched, chewed the small teacup a few times, and stopped chewing, seemingly very curious about the things his mother was pressing.

"Look." Qin Bi pointed to the child: "This is a small cup. Fun, right?!"

Thinking about it, it was funny. She was such a grown-up, yet she was playing with soil.

The little guy was grabbing the small teacup and "ah-ah"ing. Qin Bi glanced at the small teacup and was stunned. The small teacup held a teacup of soil—wet soil, not very wet, but definitely not dry soil.

The soil was delicate and belonged to superior soil.

Where did it come from?

Qin Bi subconsciously looked around. Thinking of Rong Juan saying the small teacup was a magic tool, Qin Bi estimated that the little guy didn't know how to use the magic tool. She held the child and went to the study to find Rong Juan.

Rong Juan took the small teacup and looked at the soil quality: "This magic tool is suitable for children to play with. Collect the soil. When you have enough, you can plant something. This is superior soil."

Since Rong Juan said so, Qin Bi became very interested in this small teacup. She poured the soil into a teacup used for drinking water and planted a few vegetable seeds.

"It won't grow like this." The maid said.

Qin Bi didn't speak. If it doesn't grow, it doesn't grow! She didn't expect it to grow; she was just killing time, nourishing her spirit. Expecting her to farm was just a joke, right?!

Qin Bi intended to water it. The small teacup in her hand sank. She immediately looked at the small teacup, only to see it filled with a full teacup of water. Qin Bi was stunned. She could actually use a magic tool too?!

Rong Yang knowing how to use a magic tool, Qin Bi wasn't surprised at all. She had no spiritual roots, but Rong Juan did, so it was normal for the little guy to follow Rong Juan and be able to use a magic tool. It was strange that she could use a magic tool.

Not to mention anything else, just following the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, she shouldn't be able to use a magic tool.

Qin Bi's heart was beating fast. She took a deep breath. Don't think too much. The higher the expectation, the easier it is to be disappointed. The maid was standing far away and didn't see it. Qin Bi poured the water into the teacup where the vegetable seeds were planted.

Fortunately, the teacup was small and the soil was little, otherwise this bit of water wouldn't have much effect.

Qin Bi didn't use other water. She wanted to see if these vegetable seeds would sprout and what they would grow into.

After planting, Qin Bi wiped the outside of the teacup and placed it on the table by the window. This side faced the sun. Qin Bi washed her hands and went to the study to hold the child.

Rong Juan held the child and went to the storeroom to count the full-month gifts received.

"This is the gift from the Minister of Works." The Prince's Manor steward said.

Rong Juan held the child and looked at it, a piece of jade, and sneered: "Stingy."

The steward's mouth twitched. This was a piece of superior jade, not bad. Even this was stingy? What did the Heir want? Did he want people to send spirit stones? That was something used for cultivation.

Rong Juan scanned the various gifts received at the full-month banquet and didn't see anything he liked. However, he was satisfied with the spiritual rice sent by the Great Yan Emperor. His maternal family sent a bag of spirit stones.

Rong Juan saw Qin Bi looking for him, checked the sky, held the child, and went back.

Back in the room, Rong Juan gave the child to Qin Bi. The little guy Rong Yang was talking "ah-ah" in Qin Bi's arms, and Qin Bi accompanied him. From time to time, the child would giggle.

Rong Juan sat down, poured a cup of tea, and said: "I will pay attention to your eldest brother Qin Tang's position. He has no spiritual roots, and his blessing value and fortune value are average. But this fate is unexpectedly not low."

Qin Bi couldn't say anything. This was a world based on fortune and blessings. Taking the imperial examination also relied on fortune and blessings. If both were not presentable, it wouldn't be easy to find a position.

Besides, she couldn't manage whether Rong Juan cared about the Marquis Manor's affairs.

Being able to tell her, perhaps it was for the child's sake. ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
