Chapter 544

Rong He Shizi entered the room, and Little Little Tuanzi asked everyone in a milky voice, "Am I handsome?"

His tender little face was clean and pretty, truly adorable.

Everyone in the main hall paused, looked over, and laughed.

Everyone praised him, "You are handsome."

Little Little Tuanzi turned his head and specifically told Qin Bi, "I am handsome."

Qin Bi: "..."

Qin Bi and Rong He Shizi both laughed; Qin Bi found it amusing, held the little head, and kissed it, saying, "Our Rong Chi is handsome and good-looking."

With those words, the little fellow was overjoyed; he was handsome.

Qin Bi: "..."

Qin Bi whispered a complaint to Rong Yang, "Oh my, he is truly handsome."

Rong Yang smiled with lips pressed together. Rong Yang wanted to hold his younger brother, so Rong He Shizi handed Little Little Tuanzi to the Little Imperial Prince. This prince was sent by the Emperor to watch the child, so there was no point in not using him; the Little Imperial Prince was a few years older and would at least not drop the child while holding him.

Rong Yang went to pick up the flame beast fur vest meant for him and Rong Chi, showing it to Rong Juan, "One for me, one for my younger brother."

Qin Tang and Qin Xun had thought Rong He Shizi wasn't interested, after all, he was a powerful minister and likely didn't care about doting on children; however, they had underestimated him. Rong He Shizi cared deeply about the food and clothing of both children.

Rong He Shizi glanced over and summoned Xiangyun, who was always being plucked.

"Rong Yang," Rong He Shizi said, "Pluck some Xiangyun threads to make small clothes for you and your brother."

"Okay," Rong Yang skillfully plucked Xiangyun threads from Xiangyun.

Though Rong Yang was small, he knew that small clothes sewn with Xiangyun threads brought good fortune and offered some defense. Rong Yang was overjoyed. Rong He Shizi's cold, sharp gaze softened slightly; whether they were biological or not, to Rong He Shizi, they looked like his own.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi were full of surprise. Xiangyun threads! Oh my, would they be allowed to sew with them later? They were so excited; they could even touch Xiangyun, which must bring good fortune too.

In the past, when making clothes for children, He Shi would come over to help Qin Bi.

The Little Imperial Prince was even more envious. Holding Little Little Tuanzi, he leaned over and stared longingly at the Xiangyun, which shimmered with colorful halos, saying, "My Imperial Father also has a Xiangyun, it is an Imperial Xiangyun."

The Little Imperial Prince meant to show off; an Imperial Xiangyun brought even more blessings.

Qin Bi didn't hesitate to say, "It was swallowed by Fu Bao."

What was there to show off about? No matter how good it was, it was gone.

The Little Imperial Prince: "..."

Rong Yang's small hand, which was stroking the Xiangyun threads, paused. The Xiangyun in the Yan Guogong Fu had also been swallowed. Fu Bao was a child born after swallowing two Xiangyun, so everyone felt Fu Bao carried good fortune.

Rong He Shizi said nothing. After chatting briefly with Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang, he stood up and left.

Rong Chi didn't look for him, but the main hall was lively, with everyone fluttering about and plucking Xiangyun threads.

This Xiangyun was interesting; only Rong Yang and Rong Chi could pluck Xiangyun threads from it, while others could not. Of course, Qin Bi and Rong He Shizi could, as Fu Bao had swallowed two such Great Yan Xiangyun at birth.

No wonder the Great Yan Emperor showed Fu Bao a bit more tolerance, because Fu Bao carried the blessings of the Xiangyun.

Qin Bi stroked the Xiangyun threads plucked by Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi. Her mind was occupied with thoughts, and her smile slowly faded. She felt extreme disgust toward Qin He and her child. Great Yan had only one Imperial Xiangyun, yet two powerful ministers' heirs each possessed one; a whole family had lost two Xiangyun.

Thinking of He Yan using a Xiangyun to protect Fu Bao's birth, Qin Bi sneered coldly. It was fitting that the Xiangyun was swallowed.

He Yan's Xiangyun was gone, but the foundation of the Yan Guogong Fu remained. Rong Juan, to nourish her body and protect the pregnancy, still needed a Xiangyun, and it had consumed a vast amount of the Rong Wang Fu's reserves.

The two powerful ministers' heirs were still equally capable.

Qin Bi's mind stirred. Given Qin He's character, would she covet the Xiangyun of the Rong Wang Fu? Qin He had a system; getting close to the Xiangyun, she might even be able to absorb some of its qi.

Qin Bi pondered this and later instructed Rong Yang and Rong Chi to stay far away from Qin He and Fu Bao. The protection of the Xiangyun must not be tainted by Qin He and her child.

What sort of thing? Just looking at it was annoying.

As the saying goes, those with different paths cannot plan together. Qin Bi could never stand Qin He, who treated anything she dug up as her own. When Qin He first transmigrated, Qin Bi was merely an observer with no strong feelings.

Over these years, Qin Bi had grown extremely disgusted with Qin He.

"Mother," Rong Yang tilted his little head up, "I want another yellow little beast fur vest."

"Okay," Qin Bi smiled, bent down, and agreed to Rong Yang.

Rong Yang ran off to choose beast skins, while Little Little Tuanzi howled, "I want orange!"

The Little Imperial Prince, holding Rong Chi, went to choose one too. Lin Shi saw this and thought there was a chance; if many small vests were made and they couldn't handle it all, she and Jiang Shi would surely get a chance to help make one. Jiang Shi thought the same.

Qin Bi gathered a bundle of Xiangyun threads and handed them to He Shi.

He Shi seriously discussed with Zhu Shi how to use the Xiangyun threads, trying to save as much as possible. The Xiangyun was getting smaller and smaller; He Shi had watched it shrink since Rong Yang was born.

If they didn't save more, He Shi: "..."

Rong He Shizi didn't mind at all, but He Shi couldn't help but be frugal.

"Qin Bi," Lin Shi said, "I can make small vests, and the ones I make look good."

Qin Bi looked at Lin Shi. She had seen the small vests worn by her little nephew; Lin Shi's work was indeed excellent. Lin Shi's needlework was good, and seeing her eager to try, Qin Bi understood she also wanted to touch the Xiangyun threads.

"Alright," Qin Bi said, "You tell Rong Chi; he is vain."

Being vain meant being difficult and hard to satisfy.

If the clothes made for him weren't pretty, he would throw a tantrum for you to see.

Lin Shi went to coax Little Little Tuanzi; the child was truly adorable.

Jiang Shi saw this and realized she could only assist He Shi. He Shi's needlework might not be perfect, but she was Qin Bi's legitimate mother and the Little He Shizi's maternal grandmother; clothes made by her own hands would bring good fortune to the child.

Qin Tang and the others had nothing to do, so they first helped Rong Yang and Rong Chi inspect and choose beast skins.

Qin Lang touched a piece of tender yellow flame beast skin, "This one looks good."

Little Little Tuanzi looked over, his eyes lighting up, "Mine!"

Qin Lang gave it to him, and the little fellow hugged it.

Qin Xun helped Rong Yang choose, while Qin Tang stood nearby watching and offering opinions. To be honest, they agreed on everything; Qin Lang and Little Little Tuanzi had the same taste, both loving pink and tender colors.

"I just realized it," Zhu Shi said to He Shi, "Rong Chi really looks like our Qin Lang."

He Shi glanced over in that direction and smiled, "They are all blessed."

Everyone who wasn't blind could see how deeply Rong Juan loved his wife, despite the fate of a prince who brings misfortune to his spouse and leaves no heirs; he treasured her as a precious gem. Rong Juan was indeed blessed, and this little one truly had fortune.

No exaggeration, unlike Qin He. With her maxed-out fortune value, if you looked closely, you couldn't find where the fortune lay.

He Shi only believed the Great Yan Emperor had maxed-out fortune value. As for the rest, just look: among those around him, only Qin He had maxed-out fortune value. No one else was so exaggerated, starting out with maxed-out fortune value.

Compared to the Great Yan Emperor, He Shi felt disdainful.

Zhu Shi loved hearing this, praising Qin Lang along with it; Qin Lang too had fortune.
