Chapter 471: If He Didn't Marry a Co-Wife

The cold wind was biting, but Rong Juan, the Crown Prince of Rong, clad in a black prince's robe, stepped forward to shield Qin Bi and Rong Yang from the wind.

"What about the little one?" Qin Bi asked, referring to Rong Chi.

Rong Juan understood, and Rong Yang also knew Qin Bi was speaking of Rong Chi.

"The young prince is keeping him company," Rong Juan said.

Qin Bi nodded. Within the Rong Prince's residence, the young prince's care for the children was recognized. Though the young prince was not much older himself, he was meticulous and truly doted on Rong Yang and Rong Chi.

Held in Rong Juan's arms, Rong Yang held up a paper bag for him to see: "Little fire cakes, a spiritual food. Give one to your younger brother."

Rong Juan offered praise without hesitation: "My Rong Yang shows the bearing of an elder brother."

Rong Yang was delighted. Rong Juan held Rong Yang, gathered Qin Bi, and returned to the Crown Prince's courtyard.

In the spacious and bright main hall, the young prince and the little bun sat at the table, playing with a brush. Looking up and seeing Qin Bi and Rong Yang return, the young prince immediately called out to the little bun.

"Your mother and elder brother have returned," the young prince said.

The little bun's small hands were still stained with ink. Lifting his head and seeing Qin Bi and Rong Yang, he immediately stopped playing and called out in a milky voice: "Mother, elder brother, I'm not playing with Rong Chi."

Listen to that, a little green tea, whining while tattling.

He didn't care who would support him; he just tattled.

Qin Bi was speechless. She reached out, took a little fire cake from the paper bag in Rong Yang's hand, and coaxed the little bun: "I brought you a little fire cake."

"Is it delicious?" The little bun reached out, wanting a hug.

Rong Yang wouldn't let him be hugged and got down on the ground.

Qin Bi took two little fire cakes, gave one to the young prince first, then reached out to lift the little bun, handing him a cake: "Taste it, it's very delicious."

The little bun held the little fire cake. Qin Bi tore off a piece from it. There was no help for it; the Crown Prince's child carried twenty units of Great Yan's fortune and luck, was extremely picky about food, and had quite a few tricks up his sleeve. He wouldn't eat it if there was no filling.

The scent of mushrooms and meat was overwhelmingly strong. The little bun took a bite: "Delicious."

Qin Bi smiled from the bottom of her heart. A faint smile also appeared in the Crown Prince's eyes. The young prince watched the little bun being held by Qin Bi, eating happily, while he swallowed saliva, holding a little fire cake with a golden-brown crust.

"Save it for your younger brother to eat," the young prince said.

As soon as Rong Chi bit open the little fire cake, the young prince knew it was high-grade demon beast meat, the kind with streaks of pork belly. Such demon beast meat was incredibly fragrant, and combined with mushrooms, it was perfect. The roasting was done well.

They were the size of a child's palm; Rong Chi could eat several in one sitting.

"You eat it," Qin Bi said to the young prince, who had been caring for her children. She wasn't stingy. She nodded toward the paper bag in Rong Yang's hand: "There are more. Taste them all. These little fire cakes are very delicious."

Hearing this, the young prince saw Rong Yang take out another little fire cake, so he stopped saying he wouldn't eat. He took one and ate it. Wow, it was incredibly delicious and fragrant.

"Mother, I saved one for you. Eat it while it's hot," Rong Yang said to Qin Bi. Qin Bi, holding the little bun, nodded in agreement. Rong Chi held the little fire cake, took a bite, and said, "Eh?"

Everyone looked over.

Qin Bi asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's sweet," Rong Yang ran over to Qin Bi and Rong Juan, holding up the cake: "Brown sugar little fire cake."

The Crown Prince glanced at it, his expression unchanged. For him, it only mattered that his wife and children liked it. Whether it was mushroom-meat little fire cakes or brown sugar ones, as long as his wife and children liked them, nothing else mattered.

Qin Bi and the young prince were surprised, and Rong Chi was also excited.

Rong Juan was astonished. No need to ask; everyone liked the brown sugar little fire cakes mixed in. There was only one brown sugar cake, not enough to share. He opened the oiled paper bag and broke the remaining cakes apart; none of them were brown sugar ones.

Rong Juan said to Rong Yang, "Share half with your mother."

Hearing this, the little bun poked his head out: "I want to eat."

He couldn't bear for others to eat it. Rong Juan said, "There will be plenty for you."

"Not enough to share," Qin Bi said. "I won't eat."

Rong Yang broke the little fire cake. Seeing the child determined to give her half, Qin Bi suggested, "I'll just take a bite."

Rong Yang agreed immediately. He took the brown sugar little fire cake and held it to Qin Bi's mouth: "Take a big bite. There's brown sugar and the cake crust. If you bite too small, you won't get much brown sugar."

Rong Juan added from the side, "The young prince should take a bite first."

The young prince: "..."

The young prince understood the Crown Prince's meaning. He took a bite of the brown sugar little fire cake. Rong Chi, the little bun, was still young and not cunning enough, so he anxiously took a bite too.

Well, that was the part with the most brown sugar.

Rong Yang quickly offered it to Qin Bi: "Mother, eat. There's so much brown sugar."

Qin Bi couldn't refuse the child's intention. She smiled and took a bite of the brown sugar little fire cake. The cakes were made with plenty of brown sugar, so Qin Bi got more brown sugar and less dough.

Thinking of the little bun getting more dough, Qin Bi laughed.

The children took turns taking bites. Rong Chi's eyes lit up; he clearly loved the brown sugar little fire cakes. But there was only one, and once eaten, it would be gone. Rong Juan took a mushroom-meat filled cake and fed it to Rong Chi.

He glanced at the guard, who quickly left.

A short while later, the guard returned with an oiled paper bag. Qin Bi took it, opened it, and looked. They had bought brown sugar little fire cakes. Brown sugar cakes imbued with spiritual energy were very expensive; the tea house baked only a few a day.

The guard went to the tea house and managed to buy only two.

Rong Juan reached out. The little bun looked at him hopefully, no longer wanting the meat ones.

Qin Bi handed the paper bag over. Rong Juan took a brown sugar little fire cake and gave it to Qin Bi: "You only had a bite just now. This is freshly bought. Eat it. If you like it, I'll buy more for you another day."

The little bun shouted, "I like it!"

Unfortunately, Rong Juan didn't give him a whole brown sugar little fire cake.

Qin Bi took the brown sugar cake. Rong Juan handed the paper bag directly to the young prince: "You are caring for the children. Share it among them. Do not fight over the Crown Princess's portion. Her life force was damaged by the Heartless God, and she has just recovered. Eating spiritual food will help improve her constitution."

The young prince took out the brown sugar little fire cake to show the children, sharing it between Rong Yang and Rong Chi without bias. One carried twenty units of Great Yan's fortune and luck, and so did the other; both were treasures.

Qin Bi called out to Rong Yang and Rong Chi: "Let me gnaw on it. I like the middle part with the most brown sugar."

Wow, Rong Yang and Rong Chi both loved this. They each took a bite of the brown sugar little fire cake, reaching the part with the most brown sugar. Rong Chi wanted to eat more.

Rong Yang wouldn't let him: "Let Mother eat."

The little bun said, "Okay."

Rong Juan went to the study. Qin Bi and the children did not go to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, yet they ate very well. The Crown Prince's courtyard was lively and bustling. The advisors, seeing this, were very grateful that the Crown Prince had married a co-wife.

If He He Shizi does not take a secondary wife, how could Rong Wang Fu possibly have a young heir? Now there are two young heirs; the strategists of Rong Wang Fu could wake from their dreams laughing.

Taking a secondary wife is indeed a good move.

Qin He worked hard for so long, yet she did not become the wife of the heir to Yan Guogong Fu.
