Chapter 283: Half-Immortal Realm
The Qin Yan Marquis Manor was lively. In the palace, the Great Yan Emperor stared at the little Imperial Prince and Fubao.
Fubao went to one side first. The Great Yan Emperor asked the little Imperial Prince: "You only cared about eating. How many melons did your maternal grandfather's family buy? You even helped the Minister of War buy them basket by basket. Why didn't you remember to buy a melon for me to eat?"
The little Imperial Prince lowered his little head and didn't speak. The Great Yan Emperor said: "Forgot you are an Imperial Prince?"
"The palace bought spirit melons to share with Fubao," the little Imperial Prince raised his little head and said: "Rong Yang doesn't like Fubao and wouldn't sell them to us. The spirit melon we bought last time was shared with Fubao."
The Great Yan Emperor stared: "Qin He is the Heaven-Chosen Daughter. Isn't this to coax some things out of her? Do you think your Imperial Father is a muddled Emperor? Giving her a spirit melon for no reason."
"Besides, the beast crystals were paid by me," the Great Yan Emperor said dissatisfiedly: "You just took the crystals to buy melons, but you didn't spend your own beast crystals. That was from my private treasury."
The little Imperial Prince was also dissatisfied: "I didn't get to eat any either!"
Two spirit melons; Fubao got one, and the little Imperial Prince didn't see the remaining one.
"So you just ate your fill outside and came back?" The Great Yan Emperor wasn't stupid. The little Imperial Prince's little belly was round.
The little Imperial Prince played dumb, "He-he," the watermelons in the desolate land were truly delicious.
In the Xue Wang Manor, Qin He couldn't help but lose her temper. They actually used two ordinary watermelons to deal with her. The maids and nannies were like quails. The Xue Heir Apparent knew the Qin Heir Apparent hadn't given Qin He spirit melons, so he couldn't say anything.
Qin He had always wanted to become the Marquis Manor's prodigy. Not being valued was what Qin He couldn't stand the most.
Fubao looked for them: "Where is my spirit melon? Mother said she would bring me a spirit melon back."
Qin He was impatient and scolded: "No spirit melon."
When Fubao heard there was no spirit melon to eat, she made a scene again, crying incessantly.
The nanny beside the Wang Fei returned and entered the main hall to see the Xue Wang Fei.
"What are they making a scene about again?" the Xue Wang Fei asked.
"He He Shizi Apparent Consort returned to her maiden home and came back empty-handed," the nanny replied: "The Qin Yan Marquis Manor was harvesting melons in the desolate land today. I heard the melons grew extremely well, and many people couldn't buy them. They didn't distribute spirit melons to the Heir Apparent Consort, and the Heir Apparent Consort is losing her temper."
The Xue Wang Fei pondered: "Didn't they even give ordinary melons?"
"They gave two ordinary watermelons," the nanny said: "He He Shizi Apparent Consort looked down on them and didn't want them."
The Xue Wang Fei was somewhat disappointed. If it weren't for the Heir Apparent's arrangement, Qin He, a concubine-born daughter, would never have become the Heir Apparent Consort. Xue Qing was very outstanding among the sons of the nobility, so there was no need to marry a concubine-born daughter.
Fortunately, Qin He had talent and wasn't a nobody in the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. With the Heir Apparent's matchmaking, the Xue Wang and his wife had agreed to this marriage. Today, the Qin Yan Marquis Manor was harvesting melons, and Qin He had gone with full confidence, yet she hadn't been distributed a single spirit melon. The Xue Wang Fei sighed in frustration. Where had the problem gone wrong? Qin He had been presentable before!
Could it be, it was the luck......
Without the protection of the Yan Guogong Manor's luck, had Qin He become dull?
The Yan Guogong Manor didn't have much hope. He He Shizi Apparent had children, so they could calculate for some things, but it wouldn't do if it was too much. Therefore, Qin He had received less of this good fortune and luck.
The Xue Wang came to the Wang Fei's courtyard. The Xue Wang Fei mentioned this matter: "Wang, has Qin He's luck gone wrong? In the past, Qin He was smooth sailing, but recently she was struck by lightning."
The Yan Guogong Manor didn't have much hope. He He Shizi Apparent had children, so they could calculate for some things, but it wouldn't do if it was too much. Therefore, Qin He had received less of this good fortune and luck.
"Impossible," the Xue Wang pondered for a moment and said: "The luck should be fine. Before the Heir Apparent Consort was married, she was always smooth sailing in the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, which shows that the Marquis Manor's luck wasn't bad for Qin He. Without the Yan Guogong Manor's luck, the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's luck is still there."
"A Marquis Manor, and one that just became a cultivation family," the Xue Wang Fei said: "How much luck can it have?"
The Xue Wang glanced at the Wang Fei: "What do you know? Even if the Qin Yan Marquis Manor is down and out, the Marquis Manor's good fortune and luck have always been unpredictable. Unseen luck is the most powerful."
The Imperial family and the nobility were all clear about this, so the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's decline was also very fake.
The Qin Yan Marquis and the Qin Heir Apparent went out, and many nobles and cultivation families still gave them face. The Qin Heir Apparent had a lot of connections, but he was just low-key. Otherwise, how could the Heir Apparent and the Heir Apparent be friends with the Qin Heir Apparent?
Without this unfathomable luck, the concubine-born daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor would never have had any intersection with the Prince Manor's Heir Apparent.
For so many years, the Great Yan Emperor, who had a full-level good fortune value, would occasionally pay attention to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, watching what kind of luck the Marquis Manor had.
It was just that for so many years, apart from Qin He being somewhat different, everyone else's fate was very ordinary.
"Do you think the Immortal Sect would accept the Heir Apparent Consort as an Immortal Sect disciple for no reason?" The Xue Wang sneered: "He He Shizi Apparent Consort has mediocre aptitude; it's nothing more than relying on the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's unique luck."
The Xue Wang Fei felt uncomfortable in her heart. The Xue Wang had concubines and mistresses, so Xue Qing wasn't his only child. Qin He and Xue Qing were one glory, one loss. The Xue Wang said Qin He had mediocre aptitude, and Xue Qing was also looked down upon.
"You can't say it like that," the Xue Wang Fei defended Qin He: "He He Shizi Apparent Consort is also a talented woman in Great Yan."
The Xue Wang was disdainful. Vain things were not as real as the prodigies of cultivation families. Holding a flower-viewing party or something, reciting poems and painting to show off—that made one a talented woman.
Qin He was frustrated that night, but Qin Bi slept extremely well.
In her dream, immortal birds flew over the palace, and the light music made her mood pleasant. Qin Bi didn't know how, but she was sitting on the Half-Immortal Emperor's throne listening to immortal music, various immortal birds flying with the cheerful music, and the immortal maidens dancing lightly.
Qin Bi was full of smiles. Suddenly, a boy with good fortune, looking silly, mixed in among the immortal birds.
Qin Bi looked familiar. The boy turned his head and saw Qin Bi: "Sister, where is this?"
"Qin Lang?" Qin Bi returned from the immortal realm.
Suddenly, Qin Bi woke up. He He Shizi Apparent had just returned from the study after seeing his aides and was watching Qin Bi, who was still smiling in her sleep. Qin Bi only had a moment of clarity in her eyes.
"I had a good dream." Qin Bi's mood was still good.
He He Shizi Apparent sat down and held Qin Bi in his arms: "What dream?"
"I dreamed of the Half-Immortal Realm," Qin Bi mentioned the Half-Immortal Realm vaguely. He He Shizi Apparent didn't change his expression. Qin Bi smiled, then said helplessly: "Qin Lang appeared looking silly, and then I woke up. Immortal maidens dancing—what a good dream."
He He Shizi Apparent found it funny and coaxed her to continue sleeping.
Early the next morning, Qin Tan got up to brush his teeth.
Qin Lang came to the third branch's main courtyard for breakfast, happily crowding up to Qin Tan: "Father, I dreamed of the Half-Immortal Realm early this morning. Guess how powerful my sister is in the Half-Immortal Realm?"
Qin Tan spat out the water and asked casually: "How powerful?"
"My sister is sitting on the Half-Immortal Emperor's throne, watching immortal birds fly." Qin Lang probably felt he was talking nonsense and laughed happily himself.
Qin Tan couldn't be bothered with him, washed his face, and went to have breakfast.
There were still unharvested melons in the desolate land. Qin Tan planned to return to the county office first, then come back and go to the desolate land. ===== CHAPTER 284 =====
