Chapter 111

Now that He Shizi had given the high-grade spirit fruits, Xue Qing was relieved.

Because he was in an excellent mood, Xue Qing played with Fubao for a while. The little girl had received good things, and the next day, when the weather was nice, she hurriedly went into the palace to show off to the little Imperial Princes, as well as the little Shizi of the Rong Prince's Manor, Rong Yang.

Fubao entered the palace with He Yan. Outside the Imperial Study, they ran into the little Imperial Princes and Rong Yang.

"Sister Fubao, you've entered the palace?" An Imperial Prince asked.

"Yes," Fubao took out the spirit fruits to show off: "I have high-grade spirit fruits."

The little Imperial Princes were immediately envious: "Did your Immortal Sect give them to you?"

Rong Yang stopped his wobbly steps and looked at Fubao.

Fubao took a bite of the spirit fruit and stood proudly beside He Yan: "My He He Bo Fu Fu gave them to me. He gave me a whole plate, not just one, oh. A whole plate of spirit fruits, all high-grade, orange fruits."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Princes were even more envious.

Rong Yang was only half a year old, standing small among the little Imperial Princes. He was just a little milk bun, his clear eyes watching the high-grade fruits. Fubao was eating them in big mouthfuls, and Rong Yang did not crowd over.

In this cultivation world, cultivation is primarily based on red; the cultivation ranks are divided in order into yellow, purple, white, green, cyan, orange, and orchid. Orange high-grade spirit fruits are already considered heavenly treasures in Great Yan.

The older Imperial Princes naturally understood the value of high-grade spirit fruits and stared at them, while the younger Imperial Princes were already drooling and ran over to find He Yan.

"He Shizi." A little Imperial Prince tilted his small head and asked: "Do you have any more high-grade spirit fruits?"

He Yan lowered his eyes: "None left."

"Did you give them all to Fubao?" Another milky voice asked.

He Yan was silent. Fine, the little Imperial Princes knew; they were all given to Fubao. He Shizi had no extra high-grade spirit fruits to share with them to eat. Yan Xun turned his head to talk to Rong Yang.

"High-grade spirit fruits, they look delicious."

He Yan looked over; the little milk bun was tiny and didn't make a sound.

He Yan stared at the little milk bun, but Rong Yang only glanced at him once and wobbled off toward the Imperial Study. He Yan's eyes darkened; the little Imperial Princes were all surrounding Fubao, the children chattering away.

Rong Juan was holding a memorial, caught sight of his own child, stood up, went over, picked up Rong Yang, and returned to sit before the desk.

"Imperial Nephew, why have you returned?" The Emperor of Great Yan drank tea and ate pastries, saying: "Go find your Imperial Prince brothers, don't delay your father in reviewing the memorials."

Rong Juan lowered his head and asked Rong Yang: "Why aren't you playing with the Imperial Princes?"

"Fubao's He He Bo Fu Fu gave her high-grade spirit fruits, and the Imperial Prince brothers are all surrounding Fubao." Rong Yang fished melon seeds out of his small pouch to eat and said in a milky voice: "So I came back."

The Emperor of Great Yan choked; children are all gluttonous, and he guessed that Rong Yang didn't have any high-grade spirit fruits, so he came to find Rong Juan.

The child didn't make a fuss about wanting to eat high-grade spirit fruits; he just wanted to find Rong Juan.

Rong Juan knew clearly in his heart. Catching sight of He Yan arriving at the Imperial Study, he held Rong Yang and took a memorial, asking: "Do you want to eat some?"

He Yan's steps paused, and Rong Yang said: "We don't have any at home."

Rong Juan couldn't be bothered to look at He Yan and coaxed Rong Yang: "Later, I will use the sound-transmitting beast crystal to tell your grandfather to look for spirit fruits in the small space of the Beast Realm; both you and your mother need to eat them."

Rong Yang grinned: "Okay."

Gentleness appeared in Rong Juan's eyes; having coaxed the child, he simply held Rong Yang and picked up his brush to review the memorials.

"He Ai Qing, come, come." Seeing He Yan's gaze fall toward Rong Juan's side, the Emperor of Great Yan beckoned He Yan over. A little eunuch moved a stack of memorials, and the Emperor of Great Yan said: "This is your work."

He Yan took a look, and the Emperor of Great Yan waved his hand: "Alright, He Ai Qing, go find them."

He Yan left, and the little eunuch followed with the memorials.

Rong Yang tilted his small head and took a peek, snuggling into Rong Juan's arms to complain: "He didn't even look at me."

Rong Juan said: "We won't look at him either."

"Okay." Rong Yang nodded his small head: "I won't look at him."

The Emperor of Great Yan continued to eat and drink, and when he was happy, he would take a memorial, look at it for a moment, and then toss it to Rong Juan. Outside the Imperial Study, Fubao was very proud amidst the envious gazes of the Imperial Princes.

Seeing He Yan, Fubao shouted loudly: "He He Bo Fu Fu."

He Yan's expression was indifferent, his steps didn't stop, and the little eunuch followed behind.

Fubao didn't care that He Yan ignored her and turned back to continue showing off to the Imperial Princes.

Inside the Imperial Study, Rong Yang was eating boiled melon seeds to grind his teeth. After eating two, Rong Yang said: "Father, the Beast Realm is very dangerous, especially in winter. Will it be very hard for my grandfather to find spirit fruits?"

Still knowing to think of his grandfather's safety, Rong Juan smiled and said: "It's nothing. You are the grandson he finally hoped for; even if it's a bit hard, your grandfather is willing. Don't you know how blessed you are?"

Rong Yang certainly knew, his small face brimming with smiles.

When Rong Juan finished his work, he took the child out of the palace.

Qin Bi was in the room roasting sweet potato spirit food to eat. Hearing the movement, she stood up and looked outside. The door curtain was lifted, and Rong Juan put down the little milk bun and went to the study. Qin Bi's heart stirred; usually, Rong Juan would take Rong Yang directly to the study to see the manor's advisors.

"Rong Yang, I roasted sweet potatoes." Qin Bi took the child's hand.

The little hands were warm, and Qin Bi was envious; the child was just like a little fire ball.

Sitting before the charcoal stove, Qin Bi picked out the sweet potato spirit food, and Rong Yang waited obediently on the side. Qin Bi didn't allow the child to get too close to the charcoal stove. She picked two, and the mother and child each had one.

While eating, Qin Bi talked with Rong Yang.

Mentioning that He Yan gave Fubao high-grade spirit fruits, Qin Bi wasn't surprised at all. Rong Juan brought the child to her as soon as he returned to the manor; he most likely ran into He Yan or Fubao in the palace.

"That father gave all the high-grade spirit fruits to Fubao." Rong Yang remembered again and said in a milky voice: "He didn't give me even one, and he didn't even look at me. Mother, it would have been fine if that father had given me one high-grade spirit fruit."

Qin Bi's gaze flashed, her words stopping at her lips. Rong Yang was eating the sweet potato spirit food, his little hands peeling the skin, the child muttering: "He didn't give me any. Father said, my grandfather will find spirit fruits for me to eat."

So, the child still minded.

Qin Bi generally didn't rely on others, except for depending on Rong Juan after they married. At this moment, she said: "Later, I will go to the small space in the Beast Realm and find high-grade spirit fruits for our Rong Yang."

Rong Yang grinned, and the little Imperial Prince came out of the palace to find Rong Yang.

Rong Yang took a sweet potato spirit food and went out. The little Imperial Prince had no other business coming here; he just wanted to go to the Yan Guogong Fu to ask He Shizi which small space in the Beast Realm he found the high-grade spirit fruits from.

The little Imperial Prince came to ask Rong Yang to accompany him, and Rong Yang agreed.

Rong Yang told Rong Juan, and went to the Yan Guogong Fu with the little Imperial Prince.

He Yan had just returned to the manor, sat down, and said: "What are you here for?"

"He Shizi." The little Imperial Prince asked: "Which small space in the Beast Realm did you find the high-grade spirit fruits from?"

He Yan said: "No need to go, they're gone."

Rong Yang sat on the side listening intently. He Yan looked over and asked: "Do you also want to eat high-grade spirit fruits?"

Rong Yang nodded; his grandfather would find them for him.

He Yan looked at the little milk bun, his heart tugging with pain: "Why didn't you ask me for some?"
