Chapter 9: The Talented One Leads the Whole Family to Cultivate

~8 min read 1,551 words

Rong Juan was busy, and the matrons were even busier.

This Prince's Heir was just adding to the chaos. Taking care of a child was not something a Prince's Heir should do. The child was noisy, and it was easy for him to make a fuss at night. He He Shizi's wife was useless. A matron stepped forward, but was swept by Rong Juan's faint glance.

The matron retreated, not daring to lift her head.

The maids also retreated. Qin Bi gave instructions from the side. It took Rong Juan a good while to tidy up the child, wrap him in a small quilt, and put him into the bed. The child looked toward Qin Bi.

Qin Bi knew a newborn child couldn't see anything, but she still smiled shallowly: "Oh, what are you looking at?"

The child stared with black, round eyes, eating his small fist.

Qin Bi's heart itched. She took away his small hand, and Rong Juan said to her: "Be careful."

Qin Bi lay on her side, staring at the child. She didn't know what she was looking at, but just looking at him made her feel happy in her heart. No matter how she looked, she couldn't look enough. It was summer now. Rong Juan looked at the small quilt and lay on the outside.

Qin Bi saw the position and didn't want to be next to the child: "I'll go to the edge. I'm afraid I'll crush the child when I'm asleep."

Rong Juan held the child and went inside. Qin Bi went to the edge to sleep. Rong Juan was clear that Qin Bi's heart didn't master her spirit, and internal consumption was severe. Worrying about this little thing would certainly keep her from sleeping, so there was no need.

Thus, Rong Juan slept in the middle, and the child slept inside.

"You sleep." Rong Juan said.

Qin Bi looked at the child who was staring with wide, spirited eyes and lay back to close her eyes and sleep. Rong Juan didn't let the child be taken care of by others. This was just the beginning. In a few days, he should give him to the matrons to take care of.

Unfortunately, Rong Juan had no such intention at all. He was truly awesome; he even asked for leave from court.

Qin Bi: "..."

This was definitely his own; she shouldn't have doubted it.

By the time of the child's full-month banquet, Rong Juan invited the Great Yan Emperor again. All the great aristocratic families and high-ranking officials came to the banquet. Rong Juan caught the Great Yan Emperor and stuffed the child into his arms.

"The Emperor has blessings." Rong Juan said: "Hold my son more."

The Great Yan Emperor took him happily, looked up, and said: "Rong Juan, your son looks really good."

"Handsome, right?" Rong Juan was proud.

The Great Yan Emperor echoed: "So handsome."

Rong Juan's smile became genuine. He absolutely wouldn't say to take the child back, just letting the Great Yan Emperor hold him. The officials of the court twitched their mouths. They had seen borrowing blessings, but never someone who didn't treat the Emperor as an outsider like this.

The officials couldn't criticize him, because the Great Yan Emperor was quite willing.

The child giggled at the Great Yan Emperor, and the Great Yan Emperor was even happier: "Rong Juan, what is your son's name?"

Rong Juan said: "Rong Yang."

Yang is a fierce bird/beast, powerful and ferocious, belonging to the superior immortal beast level, but its lethality is also very fierce. Rong Juan is a war-god level figure in the Great Yan Kingdom. He used the character "Yang" for his son. The officials pondered for a moment.

Based on this Heir's temper, hmm, it was just hoping his son wouldn't suffer losses.

The Qin family also came. Qin Di and his wife and the people of the Marquis Manor first went to the Heir's courtyard to see Qin Bi. Qin Bi needed quiet rest. The Great Yan Emperor didn't mind these things.

"Aren't you going to the front courtyard?" The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife reminded Qin Bi.

"Not going." Qin Bi understood that it was best to show her face before the Great Yan Emperor in such an occasion.

Qin Bi didn't have this heart. She had seen the Great Yan Emperor. He was gentle, chubby, and looked simple and honest. He was a person with great blessings. The blessings of the entire Great Yan Kingdom relied on this Emperor to support it.

In this cultivation world, Qin Bi heard everything, knowing nothing about cultivation, but she knew one thing: people in this world generally live to be two to three hundred years old.

The Great Yan Emperor was only twenty-something, and his lifespan was still very long.

She wasn't. Back then, she was angered by the Yan Guogong Manor's marriage, which damaged her spirit and lifespan. Although Rong Juan had nourished her for so long, using pills, spiritual rice, and beast meat, the damaged lifespan hadn't been fully recovered.

The Rong Prince's Manor was wealthy, a first-class hereditary Prince's Manor, but spiritual rice and pills weren't cheap.

Qin Bi estimated that the entire Prince's Manor had almost exhausted its storeroom to nourish her body.

The price of spiritual rice and pills was calculated in spirit stones, and even people in cultivation sects couldn't afford to eat them every meal.

"The little Heir is being held by the Emperor." A cousin told Qin Bi.

Qin Bi didn't answer. The younger generation of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor didn't seem to think highly of Qin Bi because she married the Heir, chattering away. Qin Bi found it noisy, so she didn't speak. The daughter-in-law of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor knew Qin Bi needed quiet rest, so she stood up and took people away.

The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife didn't leave, only she and He Shi stayed to give Qin Bi some instructions.

The maids and matrons retreated. The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife said: "Qin Bi, you have a son, so no one can move your position as the legitimate wife. Usually, coax the Heir well. Our Marquis Manor has fallen. After your eldest cousin, this title will be gone."

Without the title, the Marquis Manor would be an empty shell.

Qin Bi couldn't coax Rong Juan: "Let Qin He find the Heir He."

The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife sighed. He He Shizi He only looked at the Second Branch, and he was fine with the Marquis Manor's Heir, Qin Yan. The entire Marquis Manor couldn't rely on him. Besides, back then, the Marquis of Qin Yan proposed a divorce after the wedding, and the Yan Guogong Manor remembered it, having a knot in their hearts.

He Shi also said: "Your eldest brother, Qin Tang, also needs to find a position. His fortune value is neither high nor low. If there's no connection, I'm afraid this position won't be easy to find. Our Marquis Manor is not like other families, which have many people with spiritual roots."

Qin Bi understood. This was a fictional world based on fortune and blessings. The reason the Qin Yan Marquis Manor had fallen was that there were few people with spiritual roots, or their talent was not high, making cultivation barely possible.

Since ancient times, it has been like this: a family produces one talented person who leads the whole family to cultivate.

Almost no one in the Qin Yan Marquis Manor had spiritual roots, so there was no way. They could only rely on the Old Marquis of Qin to support the Marquis Manor, hoping for a promising younger generation. Therefore, Qin He's transmigration was favored by the entire Marquis Manor, which actually made sense.

Qin He had spiritual roots and could also come up with various fresh things. The Marquis of Qin Yan naturally valued Qin He more.

Now Qin He's daughter was also one with great blessings.

"Has your child tested for spiritual roots?" The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife asked.

This was what the Marquis of Qin Yan asked her to ask.

How would Qin Bi know: "I don't care about these things."

The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife and He Shi looked at each other. Sigh, it was also expected. Qin Bi married Rong Juan not because Rong Juan liked her, but because the Heir brought misfortune to wives and had no children. Regardless of whether he liked her or not, he had to marry.

Some things, Rong Juan might not have told Qin Bi.

The Qin Yan Marquis Manor's wife and He Shi sat for a while and then went to the front courtyard. Rong Juan had been showing the child to the Great Yan Emperor for most of the day.

Rong Juan didn't trust anyone else, but holding the child was fine for the Great Yan Emperor. This full-level blessing value wasn't just talk; the Great Yan Emperor truly had full blessings. ===== CHAPTER 10 =====

Rong Juan did not feel at ease leaving the child with others, but there would be absolutely no problem with the Great Yan Emperor keeping him; that full-level fortune value was not just talk, as the Great Yan Emperor was truly full of fortune.
