Rong Yang did not stand on ceremony, took two malt candies, and gave one to his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong He Shizi said: \"You eat it; your brother is still small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yang withdrew his hand; he could eat two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young prince, eating the candy, walked up to Rong He Shizi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on tiptoe, the young prince looked up at the little milk bun and called out affectionately: \"Little brother Rong Chi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chi flailed, drool dripping, in a baby voice: \"Ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong He Shizi stopped the little one, gently wiped the drool from his face, and coaxed him: \"Little Prince cannot carry you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Little Brother Rong Chi wanted him, the young prince immediately tucked away the uneaten malt candy, formed a tiny ball, rolled up his sleeves, and reached out: \"Let me try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong He Shizi: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little milk bun flailed even more, wishing he could leap into the young prince's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young prince was excited, but the Minister of War pulled his thoughtless royal grandson aside: \"Children have weak constitutions; the young prince is a child himself and cannot carry little Rong Chi He Shizi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little one was the apple of Rong He Shizi's eye; if he couldn't carry him and dropped him, the Minister of War dared not think of the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young prince was very disappointed; Little Brother Rong Chi looked so fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Bi went into the fields to lend a hand; she had deliberately worn a light dress suitable for working in the fields. The Minister of War glanced at the fields, where melons covered the ground, and felt envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao, his advisors, and Qin Tan were all picking spirit melons, handling them carefully while chatting and laughing, their moods completely filled with the joy of harvest. Seeing the Minister of War, Lin Yao walked out of the fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong He Shizi left the matter then; the Minister of War began talking with Rong Yang and Lin Yao, asking: \"How are the spirit melons sold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One high-grade demon beast crystal plus one hundred low-grade demon beast crystals per spirit melon,\" Lin Yao answered the price, then added: \"The best melons are not for sale; we are saving them for our little He Shizi to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War wanted to buy the good ones: \"Can you finish them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two little He Shizi eating one melon a day still wouldn't finish them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao said nothing, and the Minister of War knew there was no point in negotiating. He bent down, picked up a spirit melon to inspect it, checking ripeness, appearance, and size; since they were sold by the piece, naturally he chose the largest melon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he picked it up, before Lin Yao could stop him, crack—the spirit melon split open instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War: \"...So brittle????\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao nodded: \"This melon is very crisp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to ask; anyone who knows planting knows this melon must be sweet. The Minister of War didn't even know how much spiritual energy it contained, but even without that, he decided to buy it. What a good melon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young prince stood nearby, eating a bit of candy and a bite of melon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War said: \"Let me taste a bite of the melon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young prince handed over the melon in his hand. The Minister of War cut off a piece and put it in his mouth; it was cool and refreshing. He paused, then cut another piece to taste; indeed, it was still cool, crisp, and sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This melon was simply better than those from the Immortal Sects. The Minister of War almost blurted out praise, but luckily his courtly shrewdness remained; one must not praise melons when buying them. Picking out more spirit melons was the priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su He Shizi arrived at the Barbarian Lands via a teleportation array. Seeing the young man, the Minister of War quickly selected the melons with the best appearance. He had originally intended to buy only one, but now he changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many crystals per spirit melon?\" Su He Shizi leisurely picked melons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War kindly warned: \"These melons are very crisp and easy to crack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao answered: \"One high-grade demon beast crystal plus one hundred low-grade demon beast crystals per melon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su He Shizi thought it was expensive: \"It's already cracked; it's not a good melon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War took the opportunity to pick another melon. He would not warn Su He Shizi that the melons in this field grew so well they surpassed even those of the Immortal Sects; they seemed to possess ice spiritual energy and were crisp and sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yan rushed back from the fields, grabbed the leisurely Su He Shizi, and whispered: \"My cousin's spirit melons taste great; freshly picked, they are still cool and refreshing. Take the rest; don't dawdle. My third uncle has sent messages to his friends and colleagues, and people will soon come to buy spirit melons. Once more people arrive, you won't be able to get any.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su He Shizi was stunned; were they really that delicious?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But spirit melons were indeed in high demand; even at the Immortal Sects, they were hard to get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su He Shizi hurriedly started grabbing. Just then, several other officials arrived, all friends and colleagues of Qin Tan. With so many people, Su He Shizi panicked as everyone started grabbing spirit melons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracked melons wouldn't even allow one per person. Besides, the Minister of War alone had snatched six melons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the territory of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. Soon, the Minister of Revenue received the news and arrived, only to find no spirit melons left in the baskets. The Minister of Revenue was displeased and glanced sideways at the Minister of War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spirit melons are not cheap,\" said the Minister of Revenue. \"The Minister of War is generous indeed, buying six spirit melons at once. These are spirit melons, not ordinary melons; you are truly extravagant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War said: \"That is no concern of the Minister of Revenue's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the Minister of Works also arrived. They would have to wait; there were still no cracked melons left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that brief moment, the officials witnessed how the Rong Wang Fu doted on children. Good heavens, with just two little He Shizi, one over a year old and the other only a few months old, an entire spirit melon was gone in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extravagant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But considering Rong He Shizi's fate of a wife-killing, childless destiny, having a child was no easy feat, so it was understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of War didn't understand; others might not know, but he knew how good these spirit melons were, complete with ice spiritual energy. Eating half a melon a day would already be extravagant. Good heavens, they were eating them freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong He Shizi's youngest son could really eat, dancing with joy as he ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a blessed fate! His fortune and luck values must be extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fields, everyone handled the melons carefully, fearing to crack even one. Under the grape trellis, only the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works waited until two cracked spirit melons were brought over, which they bought and left with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit melons were very expensive and rare even among cultivation families. Around noon after the meal, a large family cut one up to share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they tasted it, it was incredible: cool and refreshing, crisp and sweet. Everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This melon has ice spiritual energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many did you buy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bought one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such delicious melon, with ice spiritual energy too; it cools you down in the heat. Why didn't you buy more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't that stating the obvious? Who knew it would be so delicious and contain ice spiritual energy? If I had known, I would have bought five or six. The Minister of Revenue now understands why the Minister of War bought six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows how good the spirit melon is. Bah, full of schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Minister of Revenue hurriedly returned to the Barbarian Lands, accompanied by the Heir of Su. Neither was foolish; such a delicious melon naturally had to be snatched up!\u003C\u002Fp>",1478,"2026-06-11T21:11:31.498Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","6df0ab9e3077cbdcd61c0ce9bc10953b6f523cfdce8784ba15e2a47592b6bb0b","transmigrated-to-a-wife-prosperous-husband-noble-chapter-266","transmigrated-to-a-wife-prosperous-husband-noble-chapter-264",596,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigrated-to-a-wife-prosperous-husband-noble-cover.jpg"]
