Chapter 453: I Still Want to Plant Spirit Vegetables

Prince Xue was in the study when Fu Bao entered and said, "Grandfather, I want to go to the palace."

Prince Xue knew that Fu Bao, his lucky granddaughter, had been attracted by something good in the palace again. He wasted no words, took Fu Bao to the palace, and arrived just as the young prince returned.

"I want to find the young prince brother," Fu Bao looked up and said to Prince Xue.

Prince Xue said, "Go ahead."

The Great Yan Emperor learned of this immediately. He wondered why Fu Bao had come to the palace and looked at the Prime Minister and the Minister of War. The Minister of War was also suspicious, left the hall, and was chilled by the cold wind. He probably realized the reason.

Perhaps because this little princess of Prince Xue's mansion had swallowed two clouds of auspicious luck, she immediately knew whenever there was something good. Fu Bao following Prince Xue to the palace was not for play; she likely came to ask for something again.

Fu Bao ran toward the young prince, and the Minister of War immediately perked up.

"Young prince brother," Fu Bao called out.

"Fu Bao," the young prince asked, "Who brought you to the palace?"

If He He Shizi had brought Fu Bao to the palace, the young prince would have gone to tell Rong Juan.

"My grandfather brought me to the palace," Fu Bao asked, "Young prince brother, where did you go? Our Prince Xue mansion summoned a snowfall that carries luck. If you want to plant spirit vegetables, I can give you a pot of our snow."

Not far away, the Minister of War's heart skipped a beat.

Prince Xue stepped forward to greet him, and the Minister of War began to chat with Prince Xue.

"I have snow," the young prince said, preparing to leave as he was eager to return to the palace to plant vegetables, "You don't need to give it to me."

"Young prince brother," Fu Bao called out to stop him. The young prince halted, and Fu Bao followed, stopping to say to him, "Share a pot of your snow with me. I want to plant spirit vegetables too. I have luck, so the vegetables I grow will definitely be spirit vegetables."

The young prince was stunned: "Didn't your Prince Xue mansion summon a snowfall? Just now you wanted to give me the rain and snow summoned by your mansion. Use your own rain and snow to plant vegetables."

Fu Bao pouted, "I just want to use the rain and snow from young prince brother."

The young prince was troubled; his father had told him to yield to Fu Bao sister.

But Rong Juan disliked Fu Bao, and Fu Bao always fought with Rong Juan over things. Even if the young prince wanted to give Fu Bao something, it would definitely not be the snow from Rong Wang Fu.

"No way," the young prince refused.

"Just give me one pot of rain and snow," Fu Bao compromised.

The young prince shook his head, "No."

The Minister of War could not watch anymore, left Prince Xue, and walked over.

"Little princess," the Minister of War said, "The young prince obtained the rain and snow through personal favors and faces, shared it with the ministers, and very little remains. There is no extra for you."

Fu Bao felt aggrieved, "I want to plant spirit vegetables."

After speaking, Fu Bao looked at Prince Xue who was walking over.

Prince Xue was stunned. He thought Fu Bao had come to the palace because she smelled something good carrying spiritual energy, but her purpose was actually to get the rain and snow the young prince obtained from Rong Wang Fu.

Prince Xue pondered that Fu Bao had luck since childhood. Could the rain and snow the young prince obtained carry different luck? Otherwise, Fu Bao would not have specifically asked him to come to the palace. The purpose was too obvious; she was here for the rain and snow the young prince obtained.

"Young prince," Prince Xue said, "Fu Bao is young. Planting vegetables is just for novelty. Yield to her and give her a little of the rain and snow you obtained. Just enough for her to plant one pot of spirit vegetables will suffice to get by."

Prince Xue meant that Fu Bao's sudden interest was due to her youth; planting vegetables was a whim that would yield nothing. The young prince just needed to give Fu Bao a little of the rain and snow he obtained.

The Minister of War thought this was acceptable; giving a small teabowl would be enough to make the point.

Fu Bao did not look like someone who could plant vegetables. Plant vegetables? She would dig a shovel of dirt and lose interest immediately.

However, the young prince knew how much Rong Juan disliked Fu Bao. Rong Juan hated Fu Bao very much. The young prince had a good relationship with Rong Juan, treating him like a real younger brother, and did not want to make Rong Juan unhappy.

"Your family summoned a snowfall!" the young prince said, "Why do you still want mine? You are not without any."

Prince Xue was helpless, "Young girls are whimsical."

Fu Bao also said, "Young prince brother, just give me a little rain and snow. At worst, I will share one spirit vegetable with you to eat. I have luck, so the spirit vegetables I grow will definitely be delicious."

The young prince remained unmoved, "I can plant vegetables myself."

The young prince would not yield, and Fu Bao would not leave, insisting on getting the rain and snow the young prince obtained. Prince Xue looked very helpless, showing he could do nothing about his spoiled granddaughter, which made the Minister of War puzzled.

The Minister of War was wise. What did this unyielding demand for the rain and snow the young prince obtained mean?

Fu Bao carried two clouds of auspicious luck and could smell any good thing. The Minister of War pondered and guessed that the rain and snow the young prince obtained must carry good luck; otherwise, Fu Bao would not be so persistent.

Who would give good things to Fu Bao? The Minister of War pulled the young prince, "Come, your mother and I have something to discuss."

The young prince hurriedly followed the Minister of War. He did not want to give Fu Bao even a teabowl of rain and snow. Once they left, leaving Prince Xue and Fu Bao, Fu Bao was stunned. Young prince brother just left like that?????

On the way, the Minister of War instructed the young prince, "Do not give the rain and snow you obtained to anyone."

The young prince nodded, "I will not give it. I also want to plant spirit vegetables. Rong Rong Shizifei, Rong Juan, and Rong Chi have already planted them. They planted chili peppers and baby bok choy. I must plant mine quickly too."

"Hmm," the Minister of War said, "I will also plant vegetables when I return to my mansion."

Thus, they would absolutely not give Fu Bao the rain and snow the young prince obtained. There was not enough to share. Vegetables require a lot of water from planting to growth. How could there be extra for Fu Bao? If He He Shizi had brought Fu Bao to the palace, perhaps they could share a little rain and snow with her.

As long as He He Shizi did not care for Fu Bao, the ministers and the young prince did not need to give a young girl like Fu Bao any face.

As for Prince Xue? They could give him some respect, but what had Prince Xue's mansion given others? If nothing, considering social exchanges, no one wanted to give Fu Bao anything.

Ministers also looked at friendships. The resources of noble families were not abundant enough to give away freely. Their own mansions and families had children as old as Fu Bao. If they did not cherish their own children, how could they spoil Fu Bao? Was this a joke?

Few people have the fate of He He Shizi, who is destined to lose his wife and have no children. Not many are willing to raise other people's children.

Was anyone so bored?

He He Shizi took good care of Qin He and her children because he had previously discussed marriage with Qin He. Due to his fate of losing his wife and having no children, Qin He almost died, so she waited for He He Shizi for several more years.

Because of this, He He Shizi took good care of Qin He and her children. If not for this, He He Shizi would not have given Qin He and her children so much care.

Fu Bao got nothing from the young prince and refused to leave, going to find He He Shizi herself.

He He Shizi was busy with memorials. Fu Bao went to him, "Uncle He, I want the rain and snow the young prince brother obtained."
