Chapter 205: Calling You Narrow-Minded

Qin Bi was stunned, only then noticing the young prince.

"I thought you had left," Qin Bi said with a smile.

"I didn't leave, I didn't leave," the young prince said, acting like a little adult as he approached Qin Bi: "Young Lady Consort, do you still have your summoning magic treasure? The Prime Minister and the others have left; you can give it to me."

Qin Bi laughed. Her family was different from the rest of the Great Yan world. Qin Bi told the child: "I already said, opportunity knocks but once. Even rain from the sky doesn't offer a second chance; how could I possibly hand over a summoning magic treasure?"

"But..." the young prince said, "The Great Yan needs rain!"

"It's not that I refuse to rain on the Great Yan," Qin Bi said, not dismissing the child just because he was young, speaking seriously: "It is that the Great Yan failed to seize the opportunity for rain. This rain was meant to fall today, but with repeated attempts to steal credit, no one will indulge them anymore, so it won't fall."

Without suffering a serious blow, how can they learn their lesson?

To protect Qin He, a price must be paid.

The Heavenly Dao protects Qin He; this land will see not a drop of rain. Since Qin Bi dreamed of her past life, she could not reclaim her status, but her state of mind had changed. What others do is none of her concern.

The young prince looked bewildered: "..."

Qin Tan regretted not having seen this young prince earlier.

Taking a mid-grade summoning magic treasure from a bundle, Qin Tan said: "The Qin Yan Marquis Fu has just become a cultivation family and has nothing of great value to offer; we can only give the young prince this summoning magic treasure."

Giving one summoning magic treasure to shut a child's mouth.

The young prince's eyes lit up as he accepted the summoning magic treasure. Qin Tan called Qin Di and the others to hurry away immediately. With a magic treasure to summon rain, they should rush to irrigate the farmlands; who had the leisure to linger?

Did the Qin Yan Marquis Fu lack people to summon rain? No, what the Qin Yan Marquis Fu lacked was a magic treasure to summon rain.

The young prince also hurried away in a panic, rushing back to the palace to report the news.

Rong Juan was dumbfounded: "Mother, I also have fertile fields that need irrigation."

How could Qin Bi have forgotten the little dumpling? She took out another bundle and handed it to Lin Yao, the First Strategist: "These are all summoning magic treasures; go summon rain for the fertile fields of our Wang Fu."

"Very well," Lin Yao exclaimed with joy: "This subordinate will go attend to it immediately."

Lin Yao mobilized personnel to make preparations. Rong He Shizi changed into his official robes, picked up his young son Rong Chi, and prepared to go out. Qin Bi was puzzled; what were they going to do? Was the precious gem finally being taken out?

"Where are you going?" Qin Bi asked.

Rong Juan was also confused. Rong He Shizi said: "To the palace."

Qin Bi could guess the gist of it and said nothing. Rong Juan followed along. Rong He Shizi had no special business in the palace this time; he was simply going to mention the matter of the summoning magic treasure. The Great Yan Emperor would likely be concerned, and Rong He Shizi was going there to protect the Qin Yan Marquis Fu.

Upon entering the palace, Rong He Shizi handed Rong Chi directly to the Great Yan Emperor: "Let him soak up some good fortune."

The Great Yan Emperor happily accepted him, glanced at the little dumpling, and smiled until his eyes narrowed. A powerful minister's trust in the Emperor could increase the Great Yan's vitality value, and fortune would also be bestowed; this little dumpling was the very apple of Rong's beloved minister's eye.

The little dumpling babbled "ah ah," and the Great Yan Emperor said: "Quite a talkative one."

Rong He Shizi glanced over: "Not much."

The Great Yan Emperor: "..."

The Prime Minister and several ministers: "..."

Rong He Shizi was not a chatterbox; he mostly took after the Young Lady Consort.

"That summoning magic treasure..." the Great Yan Emperor began, mentioning it only briefly. Speaking of summoning rain, the Great Yan Emperor said: "My beloved minister, the Young Lady Consort does not understand; you should know the Great Yan lacks rain. How can you let the Young Lady Consort act recklessly? If possible, summon it once more."

Rong He Shizi pondered briefly and said: "The Young Lady Consort's lifespan was recently damaged and has just recovered; she cannot endure exhaustion. She has already summoned it before; I fear it is not good to summon it again."

The Great Yan Emperor had nothing to say and turned to look at the Minister of War.

The Minister of War was still angry. The Rong He Shizi Consort was truly infuriating; she openly stated she could summon rain, but since someone had annoyed her, she simply refused to let it rain. Who wouldn't be angry at that?

"The Xue He Shizi Consort summoning rain was also well-intentioned," the Minister of War said. "Cultivators summoning rain for the Great Yan is a duty they should not shirk. If the Young Lady Consort haggles with the Xue He Shizi Consort, do you know how the common people of the Great Yan will think?"

Rong He Shizi flicked his brocade robe: "I will convey this to the Young Lady Consort."

The Minister of War: "..."

Tell that narrow-minded person? The Rong He Shizi Consort and her cousin were so estranged that she was willing to withhold rain over it; the Minister of War closed his mouth.

The Great Yan Emperor chuckled from the side: "Go back and tell the Young Lady Consort not to be narrow-minded. Discord between sisters is a trivial matter; Qin He did not hold a grudge, so the Young Lady Consort should let it go as well."

Rong He Shizi smiled lightly: "Very well, I will tell her."

Holding his young son, Rong He Shizi called for Rong Juan to head home.

All the way back, Rong He Shizi pondered how to speak to Qin Bi. Upon returning to the Rong Wang Fu, Rong He Shizi sent Rong Juan to relay the message to Qin Bi, such as "Qin He did not hold a grudge, but Qin Bi is narrow-minded."

"They said you are narrow-minded," Rong Juan repeated.

Qin Bi: "..."

Angry; she couldn't let this slide.

If they said she was narrow-minded, then she would be narrow-minded.

"Go tell Lin Yao," Qin Bi said to the child: "Tomorrow, when summoning rain, I will go too. I will soak the ground thoroughly; if others' fields are in drought, I will flood my own lands."

The little dumpling was stunned, then jumped off the small stool: "Okay, I will tell Mr. Lin right away."

The advisors were currently gathered in the courtyard around Rong He Shizi to enjoy the cool breeze and discuss summoning rain. They would not go today as it was too late; they would go to the fields tomorrow. When the Young Master arrived, everyone stood up to pay their respects.

Young Master Rong Juan was just as precious as the one Rong He Shizi was holding in his arms.

"Did you tell your mother?" Rong He Shizi asked, looking down to tease his young son.

"Yes," Rong Juan nodded: "Tomorrow, Mother will also go to the fields to summon rain."

"The Young Lady Consort is going too?" Lin Yao asked, surprised.

Presumably, since the Young Lady Consort had already given him the summoning magic treasures, she had no intention of going herself.

"Yes," Rong Juan said: "My mother said she will flood the farmlands."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." Rong He Shizi set down his tea cup and then asked the little dumpling: "How exactly did you tell your mother?"

Rong Juan happily replied: "Imperial Uncle and the Minister of War said my mother is narrow-minded."

Rong He Shizi: "..."

Lin Yao: "..."

Rong He Shizi fell silent: "..." "Is your mother angry?"

Rong Juan nodded, furious: "They're going to flood the fields."

Qin Bi remembered something and called out: "Rong Juan!"

Rong Juan trotted over, and Qin Bi said: "Go tell your maternal grandfather's family that I will summon rain for them."

"How large an area of rain?" Rong Juan asked carefully. "How much fertile land can it irrigate?"

"No fear of flooding. Whatever fertile land there is, I will rain enough on all of it," Qin Bi said fiercely.

The advisors were stunned. Not a single drop of rain yet, but you'll rain enough?

Blowing hot air. They didn't believe it.

Rong Juan was delighted and happily went to Qin Yan Marquis Fu.
