Chapter 199: What

~8 min read 1,473 words

The advisors bowed deeply. "Princess, please prioritize the big picture."

Qin Bi ignored them, and the summoning remained in a casual state.

"Qin Bi, Qin He has her little schemes, but Great Yan urgently needs rain right now," the Heir, Qin Yan, also said. "Weather without wind or fire is a sign of a great drought. Since you can summon strong winds, as long as you summon a medium rain in Jingcheng, the entire Great Yan will gradually have rain."

In summer, as long as the prelude to rain is opened, rain is no longer a luxury.

But if there isn't even a medium-to-heavy rain, the entire Great Yan will inevitably remain in a drought.

Qin Bi knew this too. She didn't know before, but she learned it after reading more cultivation books. Moreover, Qin Bi read many scrolls, so she understood a little.

As long as there is a rain with decent rainfall in the dry season without rain as a beginning, the various states and prefectures will have intermittent rain.

It would be fine if she didn't know, but since she did, Qin Bi would be even less likely to fulfill others' wishes.

No one's wishes would work. Qin Bi remained unmoved.

Why? Great Yan had Qin He, so it had to pay the price.

Qin Bi couldn't care about others, but when it came to her own territory, heh, there was no room for negotiation. No one's persuasion would work. She was already reluctant to blow wind; you still expect her to summon rain? Keep dreaming.

It would be fine if Qin Yan didn't persuade her, but as soon as he did, Qin Bi didn't even bother to put on a show. She withdrew the summoning and placed the summoning artifact on the table to the side. Qin Lang's eyelids jumped. Fine, the summoning was over.

"Forget it if you don't want to summon," Prince Rong said.

Qin Yan continued to persuade Qin Bi. "Why do you have to be angry with Qin He over the big deal of summoning rain?"

Qin Bi was annoyed by the persuasion and didn't mind telling Qin Yan and the advisors: "Qin He caused trouble when I wanted to summon, and now I don't want to summon. Anything said is useless; I won't summon rain."

Qin Yan coaxed her. "Qin Bi, be obedient and give your eldest cousin some face."

"Summoning requires the right time, place, and people, as well as a powerful summoning artifact," Qin Bi stated the facts without emotion. "It's too late. The best timing for rain has already passed, and I am powerless."

The little Prince Yan Xun squeezed over from the side and said like a little adult, "Princess, give my father some face."

Qin Bi was helpless. "Forcibly summoning rain is disadvantageous to me."

"But..." the little Prince said, "Great Yan has no rain. Asking the sect's immortals to summon rain will cost a large amount of cultivation resources, and my father is worried to death."

Qin Bi remained unmoved. What did it have to do with her? She had given the opportunity.

She summoned, and Qin He also summoned.

Now the rain was gone, so what was the use of talking nonsense to her?

"This damn Qin He," Qin Lang cursed.

Qin Yan felt a lump in his throat, unable to go up or down. The first strategist, Lin Yao, spoke up: "Princess, you promised the Qin Yan Hou's manor that you would summon rain, but it didn't rain today."

Qin Bi smiled. "Then summon tomorrow."

Oh my, Qin Yan, Lin Yao, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Qin He was vomiting blood and fainted, she was finally not causing trouble. If Qin Bi summoned the same weather as today tomorrow, it would be unjustifiable if it didn't rain.

Lin Yao looked at Prince Rong and sent someone to the Xue Prince's manor to inquire about the news: "Go see if she's dead."

The guard received the order and left. It would be useless to go; Qin He was protected by the Heavenly Dao and would only suffer some bitterness. How could she die so quickly? The guard went to investigate, and the Xue Prince's Princess was in a coma.

The guard returned to report: "Not dead, still in a coma."

Lin Yao was satisfied. Qin Yan and Qin Lang saw that it was getting late, said goodbye, and left. The little Prince Yan Xun also took people back to the palace and told the Great Yan Emperor what he had seen.

"Was that weather with rolling dark clouds summoned?" The Great Yan Emperor didn't believe it anymore.

The Prime Minister reminded him: "Summoning again tomorrow."

The Great Yan Emperor was thoughtful and immediately instructed the little Prince: "Send a message to the palace immediately when summoning starts tomorrow, and tell me when the summoning is withdrawn."

"Okay." The little Prince received the order.

"I will go to the Rong Prince's manor," the Prime Minister requested.

"I will go too," the Minister of War said.

The Great Yan Emperor waved his chubby, fortunate hand. "Granted."

The Great Yan Emperor provided meals at night, and the ministers stayed to handle official business. The entire Great Yan only had the Great Yan Emperor who was fortunate and could be leisurely. As for the ministers? It was a busy life; they couldn't even think about going home to rest.

Great Yan lacked rain and had to prepare to ask the sect.

Cultivation resources were classified. Every time the ministers counted one, their hearts dripped blood. The Prime Minister sighed while holding the list, and the Minister of War took it, looked at it, and reduced a few items.

Prince Rong went to the sect and brought back a few spiritual fruits.

Qin Bi had one, Rong Yang had one, and the little one was fed half. The little guy didn't have enough, so Prince Rong fed him the remaining half of the spiritual fruit and asked, "Qin Bi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No," Qin Bi shook her head.

Prince Rong didn't quite believe it and observed Qin Bi. "With such a large formation, it consumes a lot of spiritual power."

"Just blowing wind for show, it doesn't consume spiritual power," Qin Bi didn't hide it from Rong Juan and said, "Only if I really summon a heavy rain will it consume spiritual power."

This wife's heart was cold and hard to warm up. Prince Rong didn't ask any more questions and sent his wife and children to sleep early.

"Summoning rain tomorrow." Prince Rong covered Qin Bi with a thin quilt and said in a gentle tone, "Summon if you can; if it's difficult, forget it. To me, Rong Juan, nothing is more important than you and the children."

Qin Bi smiled. This was intending to indulge her to do whatever she wanted.

Summon? Just wait!

Qin Bi pulled the thin quilt and closed her eyes to sleep. Prince Rong looked at his two sons, the big one and the small one. It was good to have many children. Prince Rong's eyebrows were smiling. The children Qin Bi gave birth to were all carved from jade.

Prince Rong went to the study, where Lin Yao and the advisors were waiting, and they spoke one after another: "If the Princess can really summon a heavy rain, please ask the Prince to persuade her to prioritize the big picture."

"The Princess has her own plans," Prince Rong said. "No need to say more."

The advisors held their foreheads. The Princess and the little Prince were the Prince's heart's delight! The Princess was willful, and the Prince pampered her. These advisors were anxious on the side but had no way to do anything. It was so anxious.

The advisors didn't sleep well all night. Lin Yao, as the first strategist, wasn't without means, but he didn't dare to touch the Princess! Besides earnest persuasion, there was no other way.

The Qin Yan Hou's manor's Heir, Qin Yan, returned to the Marquis Manor. Qin Lang went to call Qin Tan and Qin Di from the third and fourth branches to discuss matters in the Qin Yan Hou's study. It was no small matter that Qin Bi could summon such a large formation.

"Just because of Qin He, Qin Bi is perfunctory in summoning?" Qin Tan was startled.

Qin Yan spread his hands. "That's what it looks like to me."

"How can she be allowed to be willful about such a big deal as summoning?" The Qin Yan Hou was worried about the lack of rain. Hearing this, he looked at Qin Di: "Qin He vomited blood and fainted. Tomorrow, you and the third brother go to the Rong Prince's manor to keep an eye on her." ===== CHAPTER 200 =====
