Chapter 324: Just Don't Have Designs on It

~9 min read 1,625 words

Rong Yang boasted: "Father took me and my brother there."

Qin Bi thought of the Heir Apparent, dressed in fine clothes and riding a fine horse, a powerful minister in Great Yan. It wasn't strange for him to take his children into the palace to mooch a meal. Perhaps, for the Heir Apparent, this wasn't mooching a meal.

Qin Bi wasn't familiar with the Great Yan Emperor and had no thoughts on it, but Rong Juan was different.

Perhaps the Heir Apparent couldn't stand the Great Yan Emperor giving rewards to the Xue Wang Manor and had long been dissatisfied, just waiting for an excuse to enter the palace for a meal. Not eating for free was a waste; eating a big meal was the only way to vent his anger.

Qin Bi was born as a daughter of a concubine in a Marquis Manor; she had no thoughts on it.

So, it was better not to care.

"Was it delicious?" Qin Bi asked the little bun.

"It was delicious," Rong Yang's eyes and brows were filled with smiles. He was happy from eating, his voice milky: "Didn't even give Fubao a single chicken bone."

Qin Bi looked at the child and didn't know what to say. Rong Yang didn't like Fubao at all. When Fubao couldn't eat, the child found everything delicious. In fact, there were spirit-planted chickens in the house traded for spirit poultry ducks.

Just after Rong Yang returned home, the Little Imperial Prince Yan Xun came to the Rong Wang Manor.

Running into the Heir Apparent's courtyard, the Little Imperial Prince saw Rong Yang snuggled up to Qin Bi at a glance. The Little Imperial Prince was dressed in a little imperial prince robe, fully displaying the imperial momentum, but his running legs still revealed the child's liveliness.

"Brother Rong Yang!" the Little Imperial Prince shouted.

"Brother Little Imperial Prince, why did you leave the palace?" Rong Yang was puzzled. He had just returned from the palace. Brother Little Imperial Prince didn't say he was coming to the Rong Wang Manor. Brother Little Imperial Prince should have left the palace right after.

"I came to play with you." The Little Imperial Prince opened his storage bag and took out a bag of boiled melon seeds: "I brought you boiled melon seeds. I specially asked my mother to order the Imperial Kitchen to pickle them. They are delicious."

The guards moved the children's tables and chairs and set them up. The Little Imperial Prince and Rong Yang sat on the little chairs.

The maid set out fruits and little water cups. The Little Imperial Prince looked at the tables and chairs freshly. In the Imperial Palace, no one specially made children's tables and chairs for him. His grandfather would send them, but he was also worried that he would only focus on playing.

The Little Imperial Prince grabbed a handful of boiled melon seeds and gave the rest to Rong Yang: "You and Brother Rong Chi eat them."

Rong Yang didn't stand on ceremony and took them. Qin Bi discovered that no matter how the court and the palace fought, or how the children calculated who the spirit food and spirit fruits were rewarded to, Rong Yang didn't treat the Little Imperial Prince as an outsider, and the Little Imperial Prince also treated Rong Yang as a younger brother.

Come to think of it, it made sense. The Great Yan Emperor treated Rong Juan and He Yan as brothers, and the younger generation was the same.

As for Fubao?

He He Shizi Apparent Xue and the Great Yan Emperor were not brothers. What the Emperor found difficult to handle was Qin He's title of Heaven-Chosen Daughter. It would be fine if it weren't true; the fear was that Qin He really was a Heaven-Chosen Daughter.

As a blessed Emperor, the Great Yan Emperor liked to play dumb happily and do some things a foolish ruler should do, but not too heavily. The courtiers couldn't pick out any faults, and he could handle some things well.

It had to be said that the Great Yan Emperor was very capable.

Qin Bi was thinking about things. Rong Juan was holding his youngest son and strolling leisurely. No need to ask, he was helping the child digest. Qin Bi was speechless. Going into the palace once was really going all out to eat a meal from the Great Yan Emperor.

Rong Chi saw his brothers eating boiled melon seeds and struggled: "Eat."

Rong Juan hesitated, and Qin Bi hurriedly stopped him: "Don't eat anymore."

The Little Imperial Prince turned his head and said to the little milk bun: "I saved some for you. Rong Yang and I won't eat yours."

Rong Juan took Qin Bi's hand, held his youngest son Rong Chi, and left, going elsewhere to stroll. Seeing a little foodie wanting to eat meant he would make a fuss. This child was much better at making a fuss than Rong Yang. However, Rong Juan cherished him; this was the child he had longed for through several reincarnations.

The corners of Rong Juan's mouth curled up. Looking at the little milk bun, his heart melted.

"Who does this child take after?" Rong Juan looked at the little milk bun and thought of Qin Lang's liveliness: "He should take after Qin Lang."

Qin Bi remembered Qin Lang when he was a child and said: "Qin Lang wasn't noisy when he was a child."

Rong Juan quite wanted Rong Chi to take after Qin Lang; that boy was blessed.

Upon hearing this, Rong Juan examined the little milk bun: "Who does he take after?"

Qin Bi had no choice but to tell the truth: "He takes after me."

Rong Juan: "......"

The handsome, tall man glanced at Qin Bi. Qin Bi was very quiet, soft and weak. Rong Juan thought about it carefully; she did have a lively side, but it was all when he wasn't around.

In the beginning, he didn't like Qin Bi, so Qin Bi avoided him.

Whenever Rong Juan went to the Fourth Branch's courtyard to see Qin Di and his wife, Qin Bi would leave immediately. Sometimes when she couldn't avoid him, Qin Bi would have a happy smile in her eyes when talking to Jiang Shi and the others.

Next, Qin Bi teased the little milk bun, and Rong Juan's eyes were gentle.

For the past two days, Qin Di and He Shi had been stewing a spirit poultry duck to eat. The medicinal ginseng sent by Qin Bi, with a section sliced off and stewed, was good for cultivation after eating. Qin Tang and Qin Xun both had small kitchens in their own courtyards, each eating their own.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun also sent He Shi and Qin Di several hundred spirit poultry ducks. He Shi didn't say she didn't want them. Qin Bi had given them to her; what would it look like if she didn't want the spirit poultry ducks given by Qin Tang and Qin Xun?

Jiang Shi couldn't help but be jealous and said to Qin Tang: "In our whole Marquis Manor, Father and Mother are the richest, with over ten thousand spirit poultry ducks. How could Qin Bi be so willing to send them?"

Qin Tang didn't speak. He also didn't expect Qin Bi to be so good to He Shi.

"Don't be short-sighted and try to coax Mother's spirit poultry ducks," Qin Tang warned: "Qin Bi is good to Mother; don't let her feel cold-hearted. And Lin Shi, you should also remind her."

"And Father too," Jiang Shi said angrily: "Lin Shi and I coax Mother's spirit poultry ducks to eat, but Father won't agree. Father is not confused, and Third Uncle gives Father advice."

Qin Di would discuss things with Qin Tan whenever he had them. Qin Tan was wholeheartedly assisting Rong Yang and Rong Chi.

Qin Tang nodded. It was fine for Jiang Shi to be jealous; just don't have designs on it.

However, Jiang Shi and Lin Shi didn't have designs on it, but Qin Han was thinking about it at home. After looking around the shop, she returned to the courtyard behind the shop. Jiang Mo sat down and examined Qin Han's expression.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Mo asked.

"I heard Mother got a lot of spirit poultry ducks," Qin Han said, full of worries: "My younger sister from a concubine said there were as many as ten thousand spirit poultry ducks. It is said that some spirit poultry ducks have grown small spirit poultry crystals."

Jiang Mo's eyes lit up, excited for a moment, then sighed when he thought of something: "Your legal mother is not your biological mother; I'm afraid she won't give you spirit poultry ducks."

Qin Han pondered: "Among the several daughters of concubines, I have some face in front of Mother."

Jiang Mo was excited again: "Then you go for a trip. It doesn't matter if she doesn't give you spirit poultry ducks; just take the children along and go eat a few meals of spirit poultry ducks. Our two children are both ordinary people, and spirit poultry meat is beneficial to the body."

As for the small spirit poultry crystals?

Jiang Mo didn't dare to think about it. Qin Tang and Qin Xun both had children. Qin Han was only born of a concubine. If He Shi didn't love Qin Han very much, she wouldn't take the small spirit poultry crystals and bring them back for her own children.

However, Jiang Mo warned: "When you go back, coax your father-in-law and mother-in-law more."

Qin Han nodded. This was natural. She stood up and started looking for things to bring. ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
