Chapter 605 Even if I manage to snatch it, I still want to marry it
The little dumpling was still munching on it when the little prince ran so fast that the spirit fruit fell to the ground.
The little prince didn't see it, the little dumpling cried out, "Spirit fruit, spirit fruit..."
The Imperial Guards also saw it: "The spirit fruit has fallen."
The little prince turned around and saw that the Great Yan Emperor hadn't chased after him to beat him. He picked up the little dumpling, went back and squatted down, and picked up the yellow pear that the little dumpling, Rong Chi, had already eaten most of.
The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "It fell to the ground, don't bother with it."
Before the young prince Yan Xun could say anything, the little dumpling Rong Chi grabbed the yellow pear from the prince's hand and said, "I want it! My mother collected it for me. It's so sweet. Wash it and eat it."
The Minister of War was speechless: "The Crown Prince of Rong, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, how come he has such a little money-grubber?"
The little dumpling loudly emphasized, "I'm cute."
The Minister of War nodded: "You're adorable."
The young prince wanted to find a rockery and stream to wash the yellow pears. He took the pears and looked around, but the rocks were too far away, so he decided not to go. Instead, he took a bite of the outer layer of the pears.
Minister of War: "..."
This is his grandson, and he's even counting on him to be emperor. He's quite frugal, though.
The little dumpling stared at the little prince, still not reassured: "Alright, alright, this is the only one left. Don't eat it all up. It's not dirty, so it won't be gritty. Give me a bite."
The Minister of War clicked his tongue in disbelief. He didn't follow the Crown Prince Rong; the little dumpling Rong Chi was much cuter than the Crown Prince Rong.
Prince Rong is a killing god, cold and ruthless.
The little prince nibbled on the outer layer of the spirit fruit and gave it to the little dumpling Rong Chi. The little guy hugged it and continued to nibble on it. He took a bite, and it was so sweet! He almost couldn't finish it.
The Minister of War was very fond of the little dumpling. He cried out to Prince Xue, "Finally, I've avenged him! In the past two years, Fu Bao has asked the palace for a lot of things. What Rong Yang has, Fu Bao has a share of too."
Young Prince Rongyang isn't greedy; he wouldn't be drawn to the palace by the smell of delicious food.
Therefore, Fu Bao ate even more good food than Rong Yang, the young prince. The Emperor of Dayan was diligent in governing and loved his people. The little princess was young and entered the palace to eat spiritual food, so she could eat almost everything.
Having swallowed two auspicious clouds, the child had teeth that were good for eating good things. However, the child rarely actually got to eat good food in the palace. Most of the time, the child would smell the food and sneak into the palace to freeload off the spiritual food.
Fu Bao was born after swallowing two auspicious clouds, and she was very young. The Minister of War didn't hold it against Fu Bao, but that didn't mean he wouldn't hold it against the others in the Xue Prince's mansion, especially the Xue Prince. The Minister of War had already written it down in his little notebook.
"This child," the Minister of War said, "is truly remarkable! Handsome."
The little dumpling Rongchi was munching on a yellow pear, having almost finished eating the flesh, when it heard this, its dark eyes immediately lit up: "I'm Jun, I'm the brightest little one."
Minister of War: "..."
The young prince is not like that at all; the little guy is so cute and adorable.
“Yes.” The young prince immediately praised, as the child he brought was naturally the most handsome: “Your father is handsome, your mother is radiant, and you and Rong Yang are naturally the most handsome.”
The little dumpling Rong Chi was overwhelmed by the praise; he was handsome, and his elder brother was handsome too.
The young prince carried the baby out of the palace. The Minister of War went to see the Emperor of Great Yan. The Emperor was puzzled: "What's going on with Princess Xue's maxed-out fortune value? Even Princess Rong's fortune value isn't maxed out. She sent things back twice, but her maxed-out fortune value hasn't shown any movement at all." The Prime Minister said: "Princess Xue is with people from the Immortal Sect."
"Did you go and rob someone else in the small space of the demon beast realm?" the Great Yan Emperor asked.
The Minister of War said, "Princess Consort Xue is with people from the Immortal Sect. She has the strength. Moreover, in the small space of the Demon Beast Realm, killing and robbing treasures is commonplace. The disciples of the Immortal Sect have high cultivation levels and are capable of robbing treasures."
The Emperor of Great Yan knew all too well what kind of person this Princess Consort Xue was: "Given the opportunity, Princess Consort Xue would surely take a lot of things, wouldn't she? She almost emptied the Yan State Duke's mansion."
Like a goose plucking feathers as it flies by, Princess Xue can always squeeze something out of anyone she's with.
Despite having a maxed-out fortune value, Emperor Da Yan doesn't have Qin He's ability to extract fortune from others. It's too shameful for a dignified emperor to always covet other people's things; even Emperor Da Yan wouldn't do that.
To have covetous thoughts, you need to be shameless enough.
"Just wait and see," said the Emperor of Great Yan. "Princess Consort Xue will definitely be able to get a lot of things."
The Prime Minister and the Minister of War scoffed, saying that this skill was utterly beneath them. They suggested that if he was so capable, he should collect things himself, as his preference for other people's possessions was rather distasteful.
Of course, in this world of cultivation where the strong are respected, and given that Princess Xue's cultivation level, luck, and fortune are all strong enough, neither the Prime Minister nor the Minister of War would say anything.
"Have any other cultivation families sent things back?" the Emperor of Great Yan asked. After asking, he saw some pastries on the table placed by a eunuch, took one and ate it. "What about the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Both the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue have had cultivation families send things back." The Prime Minister had already asked about this and said, "They are all mid-level cultivation families; the major cultivation families haven't sent anything back yet."
The Minister of War also said, "The mid-level cultivation families didn't send back much. They were probably worried about being robbed, so they sent back the collected items first, mainly trees and branches for basket weaving."
The Emperor of Great Yan continued eating his pastries, and after a while said, "The Crown Princess Rong has some good fortune."
The Prime Minister and the Minister of War both nodded. Without good fortune, how could a concubine's daughter from a marquis's family possibly marry into the Duke of Yan's mansion? There was also another powerful minister's son seeking her hand in marriage. The concubine's daughter from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion was someone to discuss.
Qin Bi and Qin He both married well, even better than legitimate daughters.
While it's possible for a concubine's daughter to marry into a high-ranking family, the fact that the Marquis of Qin Yan's mansion has produced two heirs' wives at once truly demonstrates the remarkable fortune of the Qin Yan Marquis's family.
However, the Minister of War said, "No rush, let's see first. They've only been in the small space of the demon beast realm for a few days. Sending things back first doesn't prove anything. Besides, the Rong Prince's chief strategist, Lin Yao, and Qin Tan are still with them. It's not that the Rong Prince's wife has the ability to collect so many trees and branches on her own."
The main reason is that Qin He is famous, and everyone says she has a maximum level of good fortune, but no one mentions that Qin Bi has good fortune and luck. At most, some young ladies who are eager to get married talk about her in secret.
"It was just good luck."
Although the two powerful princes of the Great Yan Dynasty, Prince Rong and Prince He, were destined to be widowed and childless, it didn't mean that no noble ladies wanted to marry them; they just couldn't snatch them up. Even if they did, they would still want to marry them.
Therefore, the young ladies from various households disliked Qin Bi.
"I heard that Princess Consort Xue wants to become the pride of Marquis Qin Yan?" the Minister of War asked the Prime Minister.
"Hmm." The Prime Minister nodded: "Hasn't Princess Consort Xue always considered herself the pride of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion these past few years?"
"She won't do." The Emperor of Great Yan waved his hand: "Let the Crown Princess Rong become a prodigy."
In terms of closeness and kinship, Qin Bi is closer; she is the wife of the Crown Prince Rong, and even the Emperor of Great Yan considers her his sister-in-law. (End of Chapter)
