Chapter 579: If It's Not Enough, Go Move More
A smile flickered across Rong Juan's lips as he first handed Lin Yao several elixirs.
Lin Yao put away the elixirs and left. Little Little Tuanzi and Rong Yuan arrived; Little Little Tuanzi held the doorframe, trying to enter the study. Qin Bi went over, picked him up, and then tried to pick up Rong Yuan as well.
Rong Juan stood up, went over, and took Rong Yuan in his arms.
The young prince saw this and did not enter the study.
"He has some sense," Rong Juan said, returning to the desk, sitting down, and handing a few elixirs to Qin Bi: "For saving your life. One protects your spiritual energy from scattering, one protects your primordial spirit, and the others are for emergencies."
Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi tilted his head, and Qin Bi gave him a handful of spirit melon seeds.
Little Little Tuanzi ate the seeds in silence, but Rong Yuan looked serious: "Mother, let's not go. I'll go to the Yan Guogong Fu and empty Father's warehouse. If it's not enough, I'll empty another."
Rong Juan lowered his eyes: "Your mother does not need them."
Rong Yuan said, "The small space in the Demon Beast Realm is very dangerous."
Qin Bi thought for a moment, then spoke gently to Rong Yuan: "But, Rong Yuan, since I have a spiritual root, I must cultivate. If I do not collect cultivation resources myself, but instead ask others with empty words like Fu Bao's mother, people will criticize me."
Rong Yuan thought for a moment, and somehow, he understood.
As soon as Qin Bi left the study, Rong Yuan told Rong He Shizi, called the young prince to go to the Yan Guogong Fu. Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi heard this and was outraged that they were going to the Yan Guogong Fu again without him.
"I'm going too!" Little Little Tuanzi cried out loudly.
"Should we take him?" the young prince asked.
Rong Yuan nodded: "Take Rong Chi."
Rong Yuan loved his younger brother dearly. The young prince frowned, picked up Little Little Tuanzi, and got into the carriage. Rong He Shizi sent his top strategist, Lin Yao, to escort them, along with the Imperial Feather Forest Guards from the palace. Only then did Rong He Shizi feel at ease.
On the road, the young prince hesitated, glanced at Little Little Tuanzi who was lying by the carriage window playing, and said, "Rong Yuan, you are also a child. You cannot always yield to your younger brother, or Rong Chi will get used to you yielding to him."
"I'm happy to," Rong Yuan said. "Young Prince, you don't know. When Mother first became pregnant with my younger brother, I was so worried he would run away and be reborn in another family. Then my father, Rong He Shizi, would have no biological child. I guarded him every night. I have twenty units of luck and fortune value in Great Yan. Surely some children will be jealous of our Rong Wang Fu and try to run away."
The young prince was stunned: "I never thought of that. You like Rong Chi so much."
Rong Yuan said proudly, "Our entire Rong Wang Fu has been waiting for him."
Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi was very clever. While the young prince and Rong Yuan were talking about him, he seemed to be playing by the window, but in fact, his little ears were listening. Now, Little Little Tuanzi was so happy he couldn't close his mouth.
Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi threw himself onto Rong Yuan: "Brother, do you like me that much?"
Rong Yuan, a small bundle, hugged his younger brother: "Yes."
Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi was overjoyed, and Rong Yuan was happy too. Immediately, the children burst into raucous laughter. Lin Yao, the top strategist, rode his horse in good spirits. If not for the young heir, who would they be serving? There would be no successor.
Now it was perfect; there were two young heirs.
When the Rong Wang Fu young heir's carriage arrived at the Yan Guogong Fu, Yan Guogong and Yan Guogong's Lady were already waiting at the gate. As the carriage curtain was lifted, the two little bundles cried out for Grandfather and Grandmother.
"Ah!" Yan Guogong's Lady hurried over to hug them.
She was too slow to hold both; Yan Guogong managed to snatch one, Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi.
"Grandfather," Little Little Tuanzi called.
"Ah!" Yan Guogong adored this child; he was sweet-tongued and more likable than Rong He Shizi.
Rong He Shizi had a high cultivation base, an aura of killing intent, and the noble, arrogant, and cold demeanor of a powerful minister. Yan Guogong looked down at Little Little Tuanzi, examining the little fellow; no matter how he looked, he adored him.
The young prince, who usually had to carry the little bundle wherever he went, now felt completely at ease.
The group entered the mansion. It was early spring, and some flowers and plants had already sprouted new buds. Little Little Tuanzi hadn't been here in a long time and looked around with curiosity. He He Shizi returned hurriedly from the palace.
Little Little Tuanzi's black, round eyes lit up: "Oh, my father~"
Yan Guogong: "..."
Yan Guogong's Lady, holding Rong Yuan, froze in expression. He He Shizi laughed in exasperation and had to hug the one who always wished for his death; he was his own flesh and blood, after all. Little Little Tuanzi thought it was great that he was hugged first.
"I'm cute," Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi said.
He He Shizi: "... Yes, you are cute."
Little Little Tuanzi was delighted: "Brother is cute too."
He He Shizi nodded. They arrived at the leisure lounge, and everyone took their seats.
Rong Yuan sought out He He Shizi. He He Shizi's expression softened into a smile as he picked up Rong Yuan too. Yan Guogong and his wife felt complex emotions. Sigh, if only they hadn't married that equal wife back then.
"Father," Rong Yuan stated his purpose: "Give me a top-tier teleportation array. My mother is going to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm to accumulate a foundation for me and my younger brother. The Rong Wang Fu also needs a foundation."
Rong Yuan asked directly, and how could He He Shizi refuse? "Good."
Yan Guogong stood up, fetched a top-tier teleportation array, and gave it to Rong Yuan. The top-tier teleportation array was like auspicious clouds; the Great Yan Emperor and the two powerful ministers' heirs each had one. Qin He didn't even know He He Shizi possessed a top-tier teleportation array.
Rong Yuan knew, though; he had seen through He He Shizi's assets as a child and remembered them all.
He He Shizi personally escorted the little bundle back. Upon arriving at the Rong Wang Fu, He He Shizi and Rong He Shizi sat down for tea. Rong Yuan took out the top-tier teleportation array and gave it to Rong He Shizi, who glanced at it.
"Send it to your mother," Rong Juan said.
Rong Yuan left with the young prince. Little Little Tuanzi refused to leave, so he let He He Shizi hold him and even tried to put spirit melon seeds into He He Shizi's hand. He He Shizi patiently peeled the seeds for him.
Rong Juan: "..."
He really didn't take after him.
But it was good; it vented Qin Bi's anger.
"About the top-tier teleportation array," Rong Juan said, "do not tell Qin He. She has ill intentions toward Qin Bi."
He He Shizi did not defend Qin He either. He nodded, took out several elixirs from his storage bag: "For saving your life. Qin Bi cannot suffer any mishap, or Rong Yuan will not feel at ease."
Rong Juan did not stand on ceremony. He examined the elixirs; they were the same as the ones he had prepared for Qin Bi. Rong Juan put the elixirs away, looked up, and met He He Shizi's gaze. He He Shizi summoned a small cloud of auspicious clouds, and Rong Juan took the small cloud into his hand.
He He Shizi handed Little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi to Rong He Shizi. Little Little Tuanzi looked surprised, staring at Rong He Shizi's palm.
After He He Shizi left, Rong Juan carried Little Little Tuanzi in long strides to the heir's courtyard. The young prince and Rong Yuan were in the main hall talking to Qin Bi. Rong He Shizi handed Little Little Tuanzi to the young prince.
The children went outside. Rong He Shizi summoned a small cloud of auspicious clouds. The two clouds formed a light that protected Qin Bi. After a flash, the light vanished. Qin Bi was stunned.
Rong Juan explained: "If you are in danger, He He Shizi and I can bring you back immediately."
Qin Bi was puzzled: "Didn't Fu Bao swallow all the auspicious clouds when she was born?"
"There are more," Rong Juan said, offering no further explanation. "What was swallowed was the blessing. This is a life-saving auspicious cloud. To harm you, one must first get past He He Shizi and me; otherwise, they cannot hurt you."
