Chapter 54: Spirit Food is Truly Expensive

~8 min read 1,575 words

The spirit rice was bought back, and the Emperor of Great Yan heard about it and sent a little eunuch to send a few spirit vegetables.

Yan Yan Huwei Yan reported the account: "Bought half a catty of top-grade spirit rice."

One catty became half a catty. Qin Bi was depressed. Spirit food is truly expensive! Spirit vegetables are even more so. The Emperor of Great Yan is also interesting. You grasp other news quickly, but Rong Yang eats spirit rice without vegetables; why do you say you know this?!

Still have to add spirit vegetables.

"Boil it all into rice for the little heir." Rong Juan put down the military book and spoke: "Stir-fry the spirit vegetables, just add salt, keep it light."

This is half a catty of spirit rice, and Rong Yang is not even half a year old. Qin Bi asked: "Can Rong Yang eat it?"

Rong Juan looked at her and didn't make a sound.

Qin Bi: "......"

Rong Juan knew the child's appetite better than she did. After all, when her body was not good, it was Rong Juan who brought up the child. Qin Bi's heart jumped. Eating so much, one meal must eat how much of the Emperor of Great Yan's food!

Rong Yang knew they were talking about him and asked Qin Bi in a milky voice: "Mother, do I eat a lot?"

Can't say a lot. Qin Bi smiled: "Not a lot, children need to eat until they are full."

Rong Yang said happily: "I eat until I am full, very powerful."

Looking at the child, Qin Bi was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Yan Yan Huwei Yan took the spirit rice to the kitchen and watched the cook cook.

Rice with green vegetables, it couldn't be more fragrant. Qin Bi fed him, and the little one ate it "ah-wu ah-wu". Half a catty of boiled rice left only a small bowl, and Rong Juan let Qin Bi eat it. Qin Bi also had to nourish herself.

Qin Bi was helpless and looked at Rong Juan: "I don't like eating rice."

Rong Juan scooped a spoonful with a small porcelain spoon and fed her a mouthful. Qin Bi ate it reluctantly. Rong Juan gave up; if she didn't want to eat, forget it. Everyone's taste is different. If Qin Bi really didn't want to eat, forget it.

Rong Juan took a small bowl and ate it slowly.

Qin Bi's mood was complicated. Last summer, he still treated her with cold eyes. Now, it's almost like holding her in the palm of his hand.

Sleeping at night, Rong Juan took Qin Bi's hand and checked it. The palm was a bit red, no blisters, but it was almost there. Rong Juan stood up and took medicine to apply to her hand.

Wrapped in a handkerchief, Qin Bi looked at it and didn't make a sound.

Rong Juan said: "Sleep."

Qin Bi leaned in Rong Juan's arms and closed her eyes to sleep. Rong Juan closed his eyes to rest.

The next morning, Rong Yan came to call Qin Bi to go to the barren land. Rong Juan didn't agree, and the man didn't say anything else, throwing Rong Yang at home and stuffing him into Qin Bi's arms. Qin Bi couldn't go anywhere.

After the Emperor of Great Yan finished court, he looked happily at Rong Juan approving memorials.

"Ai Qing." The Emperor of Great Yan ate a piece of pastry, drank a sip of tea, and said: "Why didn't Rong Yang follow to court?"

Among his civil and military officials, there was one who was not even half a year old. After a long time, the Emperor of Great Yan had already gotten used to it. The little one suddenly didn't go to court, and he felt empty. The child He Yan brought up, Rong Juan taught, was another good hand at approving memorials.

Thinking of this, the Emperor of Great Yan was happy.

"His mother is with him." Rong Juan waved his pen calmly.

"Why didn't you go reclaim land? I heard the Heir Consort knows how to summon rain." The Emperor of Great Yan frowned. It had only been a day of farm work, and she didn't go anymore: "Our Great Yan soil lacks water! A little light rain is also fine."

Rong Juan continued to approve memorials: "Her lifespan was just nourished back, so she shouldn't be overworked."

The Emperor of Great Yan wanted to persuade her again, opened his mouth, and took a bite of pastry.

The little prince came to find Rong Yang to play, and the Emperor of Great Yan immediately took the opportunity: "Hurry up and bring the little heir into the palace, just say the little prince wants to find the little heir to play, and there is delicious food waiting for him to eat."

Rong Juan's hand holding the pen paused. The little prince was blank; he didn't have delicious food!

The Emperor of Great Yan wanted to call the little heir into the palace. Rong Juan returned home in person, held Rong Yang into the palace, and saw the little prince. Rong Yang kicked his little legs, and Rong Juan put him down.

What delicious food could the Emperor of Great Yan have? Spirit food is only eaten on the first and fifteenth of the month.

He had no choice but to order the Imperial Kitchen to make a few small snacks, mixed with a little spirit rice flour. The small snacks were made, and several princes ran over to sit in rows with Rong Yang.

He Yan came over from the Administrative Hall, and the Emperor of Great Yan waved: "Ai Qing, come eat snacks."

He Yan bowed: "No."

"Is there something wrong?" The Emperor of Great Yan asked.

Rong Yang was eating fragrant small snacks, tilting his head to look at He Yan.

The little princes also looked. He Yan said: "Nothing major, I want to ask for a few spirit vegetables for Fubao of the Xue Prince Manor."

Rong Juan gave a "he" sound, stopped his pen, and Rong Yang blinked.

"This......" The Emperor of Great Yan looked at Rong Juan, then at Rong Yang, and stammered: "This, the spirit food I got from the Immortal Sect is limited. I just gave Rong Yang a few spirit vegetables, and there are no more to give to Fubao."

"Your Majesty." He Yan was here for this matter: "I have no children in this life. Your Majesty must not be partial."

He Yan's meaning was very simple. If there are Rong Yang's, there should be Fubao's. You can't be partial.

The Emperor of Great Yan gasped, unable to make up his mind, looking at Rong Yang, who was staring with black eyes, and then at He Yan. Rong Juan watched coldly. The Emperor of Great Yan had a big head. What is this called?

"Do you really want to ask for spirit vegetables for Qin He's child?" The Emperor of Great Yan gave He Yan a chance to recover.

He Yan nodded. He and Rong Juan were the two powerful officials of Great Yan. There was no reason for Rong Juan's child to occupy all the benefits. He could give the reward that belonged to him to Fubao since he had no children.

The Emperor of Great Yan didn't stop him. The eunuch went to fetch a small basket.

The Emperor of Great Yan poked his head to look, almost passing out. Five spirit vegetables??!!!

Glaring fiercely at the eunuch, Eunuch Fu's heart jumped, and he went up to prepare to take out two spirit vegetables. Looking at this meaning, there was still a difference between the little heir and Qin He's child.

Rong Yang also stood up from the small stool, wobbling to count the vegetables.

He Yan's eyes looked over, and Eunuch Fu couldn't do anything. The child also counted clearly: five spirit vegetables, the same amount as his Imperial Uncle gave him, the reward his other father asked for Fubao.

The child didn't make a sound, took the small snacks, went back, and sat with the princes to continue eating small snacks.

He Yan took the spirit vegetables and left. The Emperor of Great Yan, who was heartbroken, ate two more pieces of snacks. Thinking about it, he ate two more. These people are all grabbing his spirit food to eat.

Rong Juan finished approving the memorials and walked over to squat in front of the child: "Angry?"

"No." Rong Yang said crisply.

"Rest assured." Rong Juan put a small cloak on the child, held him, and prepared to leave the palace: "Father will pave the way for your future. No one can treat our Rong Yang unfairly."

Rong Yang ate the small snacks happily, and Rong Juan said goodbye to the Emperor of Great Yan and left the palace.

Returning home, the child mimicked Qin Bi: "The father from the Yan Guogong Manor asked for a reward for Fubao."

"Do you like eating spirit vegetables?" Qin Bi asked.

"Spirit vegetables are only available in the Immortal Sect." Rong Yang said in a milky voice: "But they are delicious."

Qin Bi pondered. He Yan had no children, but he gave the things belonging to his own child to Qin He's child without missing anything. Give it, she had to make Rong Yang not covet it. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
