Chapter 394: Being Able to Eat Good Things Is Also a Fortune

"Fortune Treasure, Little Princess," the nanny said. "Please stop here."

Fortune Treasure was stunned. "Nanny, I want to find Little Imperial Prince to play."

The nanny sneered inwardly. "Our Little Imperial Prince is not in the palace, and Imperial Consort Gui is not in a position to receive guests."

Fortune Treasure knew this was a rejection. Since she couldn't eat the good things, she went back listlessly. Xue Wang saw Fortune Treasure returning outside the Imperial Study and guessed she hadn't eaten anything.

Xue Wang was surprised; previously, whatever Fortune Treasure wanted to eat, she could get.

Since when did Fortune Treasure enter the palace and fail to eat spiritual food?

The Minister of War emerged from the Imperial Study, smiling. "Your granddaughter has a blessed mouth; whatever she wants to eat, she gets. Whenever the palace obtains spiritual food, the Little Princess's nose is very sharp."

Having a blessed mouth could mean having good fortune.

It could also mean being gluttonous.

Xue Wang did not understand the Minister of War's words and smiled. "The little girl is just greedy."

"Indeed," the Minister of War said, his smile not reaching his eyes. "She swallowed two children born under auspicious clouds; she has a blessed mouth. Our Little Imperial Prince wants to be greedy, but no one gives him good things to eat."

Xue Wang's smile faded too; he was not stupid and knew the Minister of War had strong objections to Fortune Treasure entering the palace to compete for spiritual food.

What a nuisance; did she eat yours?

"Fortune Treasure is a First-Rank Little Princess appointed by the Emperor," Xue Wang said. "She indeed has some fortune, but she cannot compare to the Little Imperial Prince. The Little Imperial Prince has royal luck and great fortune."

Officials in the court all liked to speak indirectly; decorum had to be maintained.

The Minister of War protected the Little Imperial Prince for a mouthful of food; Xue Wang protected Fortune Treasure, also for a mouthful of food. In Xue Wang's view, whether it was the spiritual food in the Little Imperial Prince's hands or that of other princes, as long as it was eaten, it was fine.

This was a world of cultivation; Fortune Treasure's cultivation base was higher than the Little Imperial Prince's.

The Minister of War also thought of this; the Little Princess of Xue Wang Fu was simply a glutton. Her cultivation base was high among the younger generation, but this was a cultivation base piled up with good things.

How could the Minister of War not be angry? Tsk, old and young, plus that damn Princess Consort of Xue He Shizi, all shameless.

He He Shizi took good care of Xue Wang Fu, so the Minister of War could not say much.

"Minister," Fortune Treasure stood aside, tilting her head. "Did you bring spiritual vegetables?"

The Minister of War and Xue Wang stopped talking; the Minister of War was stunned.

Spiritual vegetables?

Oh, the Little Imperial Prince had given him a stalk of coriander.

The Minister of War wanted to curse; what a dog nose! The smell of coriander was indeed very distinct, yet he could smell it even when it was hidden in his sleeve. What a damn gluttonous girl!

The Minister of War laughed and said to Xue Wang with a smile. "My family has a bunch of children; I certainly will not raise Xue Wang Fu's children."

After speaking, he left with a smile. It was ridiculous; she was used to asking He He Shizi for things and felt everyone should give her good things. Was her brain defective? Did Fortune Treasure just ask? Clearly, she asked because she wanted to eat.

Xue Wang did not blush; to get a free meal, he was willing to go all out.

Being able to eat good things is also a fortune.

If she couldn't eat it, so be it. Xue Wang took Fortune Treasure out of the palace.

Great Yan Emperor peeked out from the Imperial Study. "They left?"

The Prime Minister nodded. "They left."

Great Yan Emperor hissed, deep in thought. "Should I also be thick-skinned? Look, how many good things Xue Wang Fu dragged back! Only Yan Guogong Fu sent many cultivation resources to Xue Wang Fu."

The Little Imperial Prince returned with spiritual vegetables from Rong Juan He Shizi's fiefdom. This afternoon, the royal luck left without warning. There was also the luck of Rong Wang Fu and Yan Guogong Fu; no one knew who it was heading toward!

No need to ask; Rong Juan He Shizi's fiefdom must have grown spiritual vegetables.

The Minister of Revenue laughed beside them, flipping through a memorial. "He He Shizi has returned from the small space in the Demon Beast Realm. I fear Xue Wang Fu will be busy asking for things again."

The Prime Minister and Great Yan Emperor exchanged a glance. They did ask, but He He Shizi did not give.

The Prime Minister pulled the Minister of Revenue aside to whisper. The Minister of Revenue's eyes widened. "Is Yan Guogong Fu not planning to support them anymore? I thought they would keep supporting Princess Consort of Xue He Shizi and her child."

The ruler and his ministers gathered to gossip. Afterwards, the Minister of War and several other ministers arrived.

Great Yan Emperor finally put aside his curiosity and discussed the day's luck with the Prime Minister and the six ministers. The luck suddenly leaving the palace today had startled Great Yan Emperor. Little Imperial Prince Yan Xun was still young, and his cultivation base was not good; generally, without danger, royal luck would not be summoned.

Yan Xun was indeed fortunate, but this child's fortune was that of a glutton; at such a young age, he could not summon royal luck.

"The luck of Qin Yan Hou Fu is truly unpredictable," Great Yan Emperor said. "Logically, with our royal luck and the luck of powerful ministers present, the luck of a marquis's house should not appear. Unexpectedly, the luck of Qin Yan Hou Fu also rushed over."

The Prime Minister went out once, met with a shadow guard, and reported to Great Yan Emperor how amazing the farmland in Rong Juan He Shizi's fiefdom was. Fifty mu of land, all spiritual vegetables. Great Yan Emperor was dumbfounded.

"The small luck cloud of Qin Yan Hou Fu is quite powerful," the Minister of Revenue said in surprise.

The Prime Minister nodded. "Today, at Rong Juan He Shizi's fiefdom, there were people with great luck and great fortune."

The ruler and his ministers were deep in thought; the small luck group of Qin Yan Hou Fu was the most powerful.

"Qin He Shizi and the people from the third and fourth branches were all there," the Prime Minister said. "Coincidentally, Qin He was also at Rong Juan He Shizi's fiefdom. So, whose fortune and luck is it? It is really hard to say."

Luck and fortune were mysterious. Qin He had always carried the reputation of having fortune; no one else had a reputation as big as Qin He's. Everyone knew the second branch's Qin He had fortune. Suddenly, things were different; Great Yan Emperor and the ministers dared not make a hasty judgment.

Abandoning Qin He at once was risky; she might have some luck.

Great Yan Emperor said. "Let's wait and see."

Previously, when Qin He and Fortune Treasure had fortune, Great Yan Emperor gave them more care. Now, Great Yan Emperor planned to gradually withdraw this care, such as rewards, depending on the situation.

As for Fortune Treasure entering the palace to mooch spiritual food?

If the dishes were served on the table and she happened to arrive, let her eat.

If she didn't arrive in time, sorry, Great Yan Emperor's things did not belong to no one.

The Prime Minister and the six ministers exchanged a glance. Heh, it was difficult to arrive in time to eat spiritual food. As long as someone intentionally made sure Fortune Treasure could not eat, she would never arrive in time for meals.

Let's wait and see; no rush. Great Yan Emperor still attached great importance to the two auspicious clouds Fortune Treasure had swallowed at birth.

Great Yan Emperor tacitly approved reducing care for Fortune Treasure. The Prime Minister and the six ministers left the Imperial Study and specifically went to find the princes and princesses, instructing them: if Fortune Treasure entered the palace, hide the food.

The Little Imperial Prince was overjoyed. "It's strange; every time we eat good things, Fortune Treasure enters the palace."

The Prime Minister said. "Were the two auspicious clouds swallowed in vain?"

Auspicious clouds carried fortune. Since Fortune Treasure was born after swallowing auspicious clouds, she naturally had fortune.

Those are two auspicious clouds; the Great Yan Emperor naturally treats the Fortune Treasure with utmost care, for the Fortune Treasure carries the blessings of two auspicious clouds.
