Chapter 191
Qin Bi was eating breakfast and suddenly laughed.
Rong Yang glanced at Qin Bi, picked up a small celadon spoon, and quickened his pace of eating.
Rong Juan held his youngest son and felt that nothing good would come from Qin Bi's smile. He glanced at Qin Lang, but Rong Juan ignored him; this was someone who hadn't had enough trouble yesterday and had delivered himself to the door again today.
"No rush," Qin Bi had plans: "After eating, we will go to the Heir Apparent's fief to see our own fertile fields. If the farmland is very dry, we will summon rain to irrigate it."
Qin Lang misunderstood and nodded in agreement; it was the same wherever it was summoned.
It was better to summon at the farmland; at least the rain would fall on the fields, which was good for the crops.
Qin Bi's meal was simple. Because of Rong Juan and Rong Yang's upbringing, they ate slowly and methodically. Qin Bi finished eating and reached out to the Heir Apparent: "Give Rong Chi to me, I'll hold him."
He He Shizi Apparent gave the little milk Tuanzi to Qin Bi, and Qin Bi opened her mouth: "Ah-woo!"
The little milk Tuanzi was stunned, then laughed with a 'ga-ga' sound.
He He Shizi Apparent: "..."
Qin Lang followed suit and laughed; his sister was truly lively. However, Qin Bi's appearance was beautiful and cold, and she was also very dignified, which was different from a lively personality that liked excitement.
Qin Bi held Rong Chi and went to the courtyard with Qin Lang. Lin Yao and the Yan guard learned that the Heir Apparent and his wife and children were going to the fief and immediately made arrangements. Summer was hot, so they had to be cautious when taking the two little heirs.
Qin Lang told Qin Bi: "Sister, Qin He's child Fubao is unconscious. The first and second branches both sent low-grade spirit fruits. My mother and the fourth and fifth aunts have discussed it; we will send two spirit plants and medicinal herbs to visit the sick."
Qin Bi listened and asked: "Still not awake?"
Qin Lang shook his head: "Fubao is young; exhausting one's spirit power is not a good thing."
Qin Bi chuckled. Qin He was always greedy for quick success and liked to steal others' credit; she deserved it. Not a single good thing in that whole family. Qin Bi stood holding her youngest son, watching her subordinates busily packing the things they needed to take.
He He Shizi Apparent and Rong Yang finished eating and came to the courtyard. Rong Juan was hesitant about taking the little milk Tuanzi to the fief. The sun in this season was like a fireball; a child's skin was delicate and shouldn't be exposed to the sun.
Qin Bi hesitated: "How about you don't go."
He He Shizi Apparent pondered for a moment: "That's fine."
He He Shizi Apparent directed the guards to bring everything that needed to be brought and took his youngest son from Qin Bi's hands. Rong Chi waved his little hands, 'ah-ah'-ing, his dark, round eyes watching the busy maids and nannies.
Qin Bi saw that this little chatterbox wanted to follow and smiled to coax him: "It's very hot outside, you can't go. Your father is at home to keep you company, and there are spirit fruits to eat. Your brother and I will be back soon."
The little milk Tuanzi 'ah-ah'-ed, and the Heir Apparent took back the little guy's hands: "Go and return quickly, don't get sunburned."
Qin Bi hurriedly called Rong Yang and left. He He Shizi Apparent held the little milk Tuanzi and watched them open the teleportation array and leave. When they arrived at the Heir Apparent's manor in the fief, the sun had already risen. It wasn't hot, so the group hurried to the farmland of the fief while they had the chance.
The carriage traveled on the road to the farmland, and Qin Bi lifted the curtain to look at the crops in the fields.
It was a stretch of withered yellow; because of the lack of rain, many crops had already wilted, their leaves drooping. Farmers were transporting water cart by cart to irrigate, which was simply a drop in the bucket. Lin Yao and Qin Lang dismounted and went over to chat.
Arriving at their own farmland, Qin Bi got out of the carriage, and Rong Yang furrowed his little brows.
Qin Bi also frowned. The corn was just at the stage of growing, but it was exceptionally dry. Underfoot, the soil was all compacted. Originally, it was fertile land, but it was gradually turning into low-grade farmland. She kicked the compacted soil, crushed it, and it was still loose dirt.
Therefore, as long as it rained once, the fertile land wouldn't turn into low-grade farmland.
"Heir Apparent Consort," Lin Yao returned and reported to Qin Bi: "All the farmland is severely dry. Since we happen to be here, the Heir Apparent has drawn summoning artifacts for streams and rain. Why don't we irrigate the farmland?"
Qin Lang rummaged through his storage bag: "I also brought summoning artifacts."
Most of the guards and strategists of the Rong Wang Fu could summon rain, but some lacked sufficient affinity, and the area of rain summoned was very small, and the rainfall was also low. Lin Yao knew the cultivation levels of these martial cultivators and distributed one summoning artifact to each of the dozen or so people.
Lin Yao knew clearly that the Heir Apparent Consort's spirit power was very suitable for summoning rain, so he gave a summoning artifact of decent grade in his hand to Qin Bi: "Heir Apparent Consort, will you also summon together?"
Qin Bi took it and mobilized her spirit power to summon.
Lin Yao stared, watching to see if the wind would blow and if dark clouds would gather.
As it turned out, he had thought too much. He saw Qin Bi holding the summoning artifact, which had flowing rivers drawn on it. Following Qin Bi's summoning, fine, dense rain fell from the sky.
It was very dense; the estimated area was about half a mu of land.
Qin Lang gave a thumbs up: "Sister, your summoning is still the most powerful."
In front of Qin Bi, Qin Lang was just a rookie at playing with summoning.
Lin Yao and the Yan guard were not rookies, and their cultivation was also above Qin Bi's, but once it came to summoning rain, they all had to stand aside compared to Qin Bi. The light rain grew heavier and heavier, falling down with a 'shua-shua' sound, and the ground quickly became wet.
When the drought met the sudden rain, the scent of the soil had the smell of dry earth and rain.
With rain falling on this half-mu of land, Qin Bi asked Qin Lang for the summoning artifact he was holding: "Give it to me."
Qin Lang didn't understand Qin Bi's intention, but he hurriedly handed it over. Qin Bi gave the summoning artifact that had summoned rain to the little Tuanzi Rong Yang, and the little guy hurriedly took it and held it, while the rain continued to fall.
Everyone was surprised. Qin Bi held a new summoning artifact and continued to mobilize her spirit power to summon.
In an instant, a large area of rain was summoned, 'shua-shua'-ing as it irrigated the farmland.
"It can be done like this?" The chief strategist was knowledgeable and couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, having this ability was good. Lin Yao gave his own summoning artifact to Qin Bi: "Can you continue to summon?"
Qin Bi took it: "I'll try."
This attempt got out of hand. Qin Bi could use eleven summoning artifacts at once to summon rain. When Lin Yao, the Yan guard, and others saw this, they decided not to make a fool of themselves; with someone so powerful here, it would be inappropriate for them to waste summoning artifacts.
Lin Yao stared at the falling rain, already having a plan in his mind. He walked to Qin Bi's side and stood still. Lin Yao said: "Heir Apparent Consort, asking people from the Immortal Sect to summon rain results in a large amount of rainfall and a wide area, but it requires using many cultivation resources to invite them. Heir Apparent Consort, I see that your summoning is not strenuous. Why don't I go back and take a few more summoning artifacts for rain? If we irrigate a few more mu of fertile land, we can spend fewer cultivation resources when inviting people from the Immortal Sect."
Lin Yao prioritized the interests of the Wang Fu in everything. Qin Bi understood; inviting people from the Immortal Sect was expensive. If their own people could summon rain to alleviate the drought, it would save cultivation resources for the Wang Fu's two little heirs.
Qin Bi nodded: "You go."
Lin Yao opened the teleportation array and left quickly.
Lin Yao's movements were very swift, and he returned soon, holding a dozen or so summoning artifacts, all of which had rain and streams drawn on them. Qin Bi was a little tired and didn't want to summon one by one, so she gave them all to Qin Lang to hold.
Qin Bi mobilized her spirit power, and dark clouds began to gather.
