Chapter 78: Spiritual Vegetable

~8 min read 1,547 words

Lin Yao opened the teleportation array and left, arriving at the fiefdom, and dug a Chinese cabbage.

Little Tuanzi didn't eat anymore, the child hurriedly entered the palace, ran to the Great Yan Emperor's Imperial Garden to dig cabbage. When the Little Imperial Prince saw it: "Younger brother, you have vegetables at home, don't eat my family's vegetables anymore?!"

The Little Imperial Prince spoke in a negotiating tone.

Little Tuanzi continued to dig: "I want to dig one home."

The Little Imperial Prince leaned over: "Only dig one, okay."

Little Tuanzi nodded, and the Little Imperial Prince helped dig it down.

The Great Yan Emperor rushed over, rubbing his fat hands: "Imperial Nephew, your family has many vegetables, I won't say you should send me a few cabbages after harvesting, why are you still digging my vegetables."

Eunuch Fu also said: "Little Heir Apparent, this is the vegetable we planted in the palace."

Little Tuanzi raised his little head and told the Great Yan Emperor: "Chinese cabbage is spiritual vegetable."

The Great Yan Emperor laughed: "How can that be, no spiritual energy."

"It has," Little Tuanzi said.

"No spiritual energy," the Little Imperial Prince followed to protect his own vegetables: "Not spiritual vegetable."

If it wasn't spiritual vegetable, the Little Heir Apparent wouldn't eat it. The vegetable field planted in the palace this year grew well. Perhaps it was because of sufficient rain, every tree grew well, and everyone was very rare.

The Great Yan Emperor came to stare at it every day, and he felt pain if one was missing.

Eunuch Fu was a clever person, helping the Emperor worry, trying his best to protect the vegetables in the vegetable field.

In the past, the consorts in the palace also planted vegetables to please the Emperor. Unfortunately, the vegetable seedlings grew generally. This was the first year they grew so well, and everyone was very rare.

"Yes, it is spiritual vegetable," Little Tuanzi said in his small voice: "My family's vegetables have all grown into spiritual vegetables."

"What?" The Great Yan Emperor exclaimed: "What vegetables have become spiritual vegetables?"

"Chinese cabbage," the child said: "I came to dig one to taste and see if the vegetables in the palace have spiritual energy."

"Mom, you didn't say so earlier," the Great Yan Emperor, this fat man with fortune, panicked and immediately said: "Eunuch Fu, take this cabbage and mix it cold, I will taste if it is spiritual vegetable."

Eunuch Fu didn't dare to be careless, quickly took the cabbage and left.

Not long after, a plate of cold-mixed Chinese cabbage was presented. The Great Yan Emperor and the Little Imperial Prince stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, took a bite, wow, so crisp, and fresh, tasting it carefully.

"Eh?" The Little Imperial Prince was surprised.

The Great Yan Emperor said: "It has spiritual energy!"

Little Tuanzi climbed down from the small stool: "I said so, I am

The little Imperial Prince was stunned; Rong Yang had ten mu of vegetable fields.

A flash of sharp light crossed the Great Yan Emperor's eyes. Heavens! If his nephew's vegetables were all spirit vegetables, that would be extraordinary. He immediately sent the little Imperial Prince to follow, and Eunuch Fu escorted them to the Rong Prince Manor.

No one was allowed to eat the Chinese cabbage from the three fen of land in the Imperial Garden; the Great Yan Emperor planned to divide it up later.

When the little Imperial Prince and Rong Yang returned to the Rong Prince Manor, Lin Yao had long since returned. One large Chinese cabbage snapped and shattered the moment a leaf was broken off; the advisors had never seen vegetables that grew so well.

"Why did it shatter?" Qin Bi wondered.

"It grew well," an advisor said excitedly. "The moisture content is sufficient."

Upon hearing this, Qin Bi was somewhat happy; it was best that Rong Yang's cabbage grew well.

Unable to wait for the cabbage to be stewed, they directly made a few plates of cold-tossed salad. Ever since the Rong Heir Apparent had a child, he was generous for the first time, waving his hand: "Everyone have a taste, this is the little Heir Apparent's vegetable."

The advisors were moved. Ever since the Heir Apparent started saving up a small treasury for his son, he had never been generous once. This time, it was a rare display of generosity, so they ate. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and tasted the crisp cabbage.

With this taste, everyone ate without a sound—there was actually spiritual energy inside???!!!

They couldn't make a sound; if they made a sound, the Heir Apparent wouldn't let them eat anymore.

Rong Yang and the little Imperial Prince caught up and hurriedly picked up chopsticks to join in.

Lin Yao ate several mouthfuls in a row before saying: "Heir Apparent, the vegetables in the fief also have spiritual energy. Those ten mu of land..."

Rong Juan's eyes flashed, and his handsome face carried a look of joy: "These ten mu of land belong to the little Heir Apparent."

What belonged to the little Heir Apparent belonged to the Heir Apparent. This did not stop the advisors from being excited, and Qin Bi was also joyful. Rong Juan immediately sent people to the fief to guard the vegetable fields; the manpower Yan Huwei brought was no longer enough.

These were spirit vegetables! Although the spiritual energy was very low, spirit vegetables were still spirit vegetables!

Eunuch Fu hurriedly returned to the palace to report. Upon hearing this, the Great Yan Emperor sent a team of imperial guards to help watch the vegetables. Rong Yang's little face was brimming with smiles in excitement, which made the little Imperial Prince incredibly envious.

Qin Bi took one look and thought, why go through so much trouble? The Chinese cabbage was not small, so it could be harvested.

"Heir Apparent, take me to the fief to take a look." Qin Bi pondered: "I see the cabbage has grown quite large. I will go take a look, and if it's ready, let's slowly harvest the vegetables!"

Rong Juan did not say no. He wrapped Qin Bi in a beast-fur cloak, held her, and took the advisors to open the teleportation array to the fief. Rong Yang and the little Imperial Prince followed as well; the child tugged on Rong Juan's robe.

Upon arriving at the fief, Qin Bi took a look; the cabbage could be harvested, and there were other vegetables that had also fully grown.

Qin Bi was in a good mood and immediately discussed it with Rong Juan: "Let's harvest the Chinese cabbage today. We don't need to harvest it all at once; we can sell as we harvest. We'll dig up as much as we can sell, and let the rest grow in the field."

There were ten mu of land; they certainly couldn't finish it all themselves.

Rong Juan nodded, his gaze sweeping across the vegetable field. He marked off a section of the best ones for them to keep and eat. As for how the vegetable field was arranged, Rong Juan didn't care; he let Qin Bi and Rong Yang make the decisions, and he provided the manpower.

Qin Bi gave Rong Yang the opportunity to gain experience. Rong Yang waved his little hands: "Harvest the vegetables."

The guards were about to step forward, but the advisors rushed up: "Move aside! You're all clumsy and rough; what if you damage the spirit vegetables? This delicate work of harvesting spirit vegetables must be handled by scholars."

The guards: "..."

Fine. The guards and the palace imperial guards all stood to the side and watched the advisors harvest the vegetables.

The advisors rolled up their sleeves to dig up the cabbage. They were all from the imperial examinations and were all cultivators, not the weak, scholarly type. In half an hour, they had dug up three fen of Chinese cabbage.

These spirit vegetables were too crisp; the leaves would shatter at a touch, so they had to be very careful when digging.

After digging, they took a look; there was too much Chinese cabbage. An advisor shouted: "Weigh the yield of one fen of land. I have a feeling the yield isn't low."

Visual estimation wouldn't work; the yield clearly looked high this time. They had never grown such good vegetables before, so they really couldn't estimate the yield visually. It was better to weigh it to have a clear idea. Yan Huwei brought the scale, and the advisors directed the weighing.

The guards and imperial guards moved the cabbage carefully. They had to be careful; the vegetables were crisp. If they were too heavy-handed, a few leaves would snap off. With just a few small leaves, you'd have to ask—do you want them or not?!

They were fresh and crisp leaves, so they might as well keep them. A few broken leaves were tossed into a basin to the side.

"My mother." The burly, rough men were frustrated, moving the vegetables with extreme caution.

The advisor weighing them was also extremely careful. Even though it was troublesome, no one was impatient. Harvesting crops was a great joy; how could anyone be impatient? They were too happy for that.
