Chapter 148: Fortune Is Very Good

"Your Majesty," Rong Juan said. "My child."

Rong Juan wanted to say that the Great Yan Emperor possessed max-level fortune, and giving the child to the Great Yan Emperor would let the child absorb some of that fortune.

However, after longing for a child for several lifetimes, what slipped out of his mouth was "my child."

At these words, the Great Yan Emperor couldn't help but feel his eyes grow hot; he reached out and took the child. In this cultivation world, where fortune and luck are paramount, if a subject trusts the Emperor completely, it benefits Great Yan.

Great Yan's luck value would also be boosted. The Great Yan Emperor, possessing max-level fortune, couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Good, good, good, my own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood. Great Yan's twenty points of fortune are back..."

Hearing this, Rong Juan realized something was wrong and quickly corrected him: "Mine."

The Great Yan Emperor paused, then hurriedly nodded: "Rong's beloved subject's child."

Rong Juan became delighted. His gaze fell upon the little milk bun. His eyes were bloodshot, and a myriad of emotions surged within his heart. His child, so small and soft. Rong Juan's sharp gaze never left the little bun.

Everyone in Qin Yan Marquis Fu was stunned. The importance the Great Yan Emperor and Rong Juan placed on this child completely exceeded the expectations of Qin Yan Hou and others. The expressions of the Emperor and the powerful subject's heir could not be faked.

Rong Juan's eyes remained fixed on the little bun. Thinking of Qin Bi, he reached out, took the child from the Great Yan Emperor's arms, and went to the bedroom. He carefully placed the child beside Qin Bi. Remembering something, he brought Rong Yang over and set him down by the bed.

"Watch your mother and your younger brother," Rong Juan said.

Rong Yang lay by the bed, looked at the little bun, and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing this, Qin Bi knew she didn't need to raise him either. However, Rong Juan had one good point: having his own biological child, he had not neglected Rong Yang. After instructing Rong Yang, Rong Juan kept his eyes fixed on the little bun without looking away.

Seeing how much Rong He Shizi cherished the child, He Shi and the Lady of Qin Yan Hou did not dare to ask to hold him. The way he held the child in his palms, so carefully, meant that if even a tiny breeze blew against the child while he was in their hands, what would become of them? They couldn't afford to pay for such a loss.

Rong Juan tucked the quilt around Qin Bi, left the bedroom, and went out to see the Great Yan Emperor off.

The people of Qin Yan Hou Fu followed and left as well. Everyone was in good spirits. Qin Bi was from the fourth branch of Qin Yan Hou Fu. With two young heirs, Qin Bi's status was unshakable.

After seeing everyone off, Rong Juan returned to the bedroom, bustling about.

One would think that since Rong He Shizi had already raised one child, he should be even more skilled at caring for the second son. Yet, suddenly, Rong He Shizi didn't know how to care for a child anymore. He was flustered, so careful that he became at a loss.

Qin Bi was speechless. She took Rong Yang and watched as Rong He Shizi and the little bun stared at each other, eye to eye.

"Why aren't you holding my child?" Rong He Shizi even found fault.

Qin Bi handed Rong Yang to Rong Juan, reached out to support the little bun, and held him in her arms. Rong Yang leaned his small body forward and said, "Let me look at my younger brother."

Rong Juan sat by the bed, reached out to pull Qin Bi into his arms, letting her lean against him. Then the whole family gazed at the little bun with affection, staring eye to eye, unable to get enough of looking at him.

Qin Bi felt tired and lay down to sleep: "You watch him."

"You sleep," Rong Juan said, arranging the quilt for her.

"I'll watch my younger brother," Rong Yang nodded.

They said they were watching the child, and indeed, they just watched the little bun. Rong Juan stared at the child meticulously. Rong Yang sat beside him, his black, round eyes wide open, staring as well. The little bun slept enough and opened his eyes.

Rong Juan's heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows and eyes softened.

When Qin Bi woke up, Rong He Shizi had already calmed down. He brought spirit-plant chicken soup to feed Qin Bi. Rong Yang ate along with her. The maids and nannies went off to play; it wasn't their business.

Rong Yang rarely needed the maids and nannies to care for him, so this younger one was even less their concern.

This younger one wasn't as heavy as Rong Yang was at birth. A tiny little bun, he held his small fist and gnawed on it, looked around with his eyes, and occasionally made "ah ah" sounds. He talked quite a lot.

"Didn't you eat enough usually?" Rong Juan turned and asked Qin Bi.

"I ate enough," Qin Bi said. "Just like me."

Rong Juan turned back and continued staring at the child. He made up his mind to visit the Immortal Sect when he had time to get some spirit food and spirit fruits to nourish Qin Bi. Rong Yang watched his younger brother with curiosity.

"He is so small," Rong Yang said.

Rong Juan's eyes were full of smiles; his child would grow up handsome.

The little bun made "ah ah" sounds. Qin Bi found it amusing: "He's a little chatterbox."

Rong Juan picked up the little bun. Rong Yang stood up and leaned against Rong Juan to look. Qin Bi felt sleepy, pulled the quilt over herself, and lay down. Rong He Shizi wasn't sleepy; he took care of the older one and the younger one.

In the following days, the Great Yan Emperor sent spirit food and spirit fruits. Rong Wang also went to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm.

Hearing that Qin Bi had given birth, Qin He pursed her lips and said to Wang Wang Cefei: "Giving birth to a child is such a big fuss. What's so great about it? When I gave birth, I wasn't as pretentious as her."

Wang Wang Cefei drank her tea, inwardly thinking that Qin Bi's lifespan had been damaged back then, and carrying the second child had weakened her body further.

How could Qin He compare to Qin Bi? As Qin He's mother-in-law, Wang Wang Cefei couldn't lie and talk nonsense against her conscience. Qin He's lifespan hadn't been damaged, but her pretentiousness hadn't decreased one bit.

Xue Qing and He Yan went to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm again and again, but Qin He didn't mention it once.

Her lifespan was damaged; was yours damaged too? How dare you compare.

"Your half-sister also has good fortune. In the future, you should visit her more often," Wang Wang Cefei advised. "I know your relationship with this half-sister is average. Even if you don't become close with her, do not make an enemy of her. No matter why Rong He Shizi married her, now that she has two children, Rong He Shizi will only value her more."

Qin He scoffed: "Rong He Shizi married her only because of her husband-killing fate."

Wang Wang Cefei asked Qin He: "So what?"

Qin He choked: "..."

"The fortune and luck values of your Qin Yan Hou Fu have always been quite good," Wang Wang Cefei recalled the fortune readings the Xuan Master gave to each residence back then, and said earnestly, "Qin Yan Hou Fu produced two Wang Fu heir consorts at once; your luck is very good. If the two Wang Fu interact frequently, it will benefit everyone."

"With my half-sister's temper?" Qin He snorted. "She just likes to compare herself with me."

Wang Wang Cefei said: "But she is Rong He Shizi's wife."

Qin He was choked again. With her abilities, why would she need to be close to Qin Bi?

Feeling resentful in her heart, Qin He agreed on the surface.

"When Rong Wang Fu's young heir turns one month old, send a proper gift," Wang Wang Cefei added.

Qin He nodded. Given her relationship with Rong He Shizi, she would definitely send a generous gift. This had nothing to do with Qin Bi. When Rong Yang was born last time, Wang Wang Cefei prepared the gift; this time, Qin He planned to arrange it.

She needed to discuss this with He Yan. Since Qin He couldn't go to see He Yan herself, she said to Xue He Shizi: "Rong He Shizi's legitimate second son is turning one month old. Given the relationship between our two families, the gift should be heavy. I don't know what He He Shizi will send. Go and ask him."

Xue He Shizi went to ask He He Shizi, but He Yan gave no definite answer.

Xue He Shizi told Qin He's plan, which was to focus on items made of gold and jade, symbolizing good fortune.
