Chapter 537
is just a little money-grubber.
It's fair to say that everyone who teamed up with Qin Tan this time gained a lot.
Everyone was happy, and they were eating spiritual food.
On the first day back, it was natural to treat oneself, and the family could also have a good meal together. Among the families, the great cultivation family was particularly generous, and the Duke of Su's mansion ate lavishly.
They're all foodies!
The Rongwang Mansion is even more so, for no other reason than that the two young princes of the Rongwang Mansion are the most precious.
What kind of spiritual food is beneficial to cultivation? Qin Bi dotes on her children, and as long as Rong Yang and Rong Chi like to eat it, she will give it to them. The Crown Prince Rong does not spoil his children, but he has been destined to be widowed and childless for several lifetimes.
Having a child in this life, Prince Rong will surely cherish him like a treasure.
Also, I don't know who the little dumpling took after, but after eating his fill, he still puts a few small sweet radishes in his little pocket. They're washed and ready to eat, and he can take one whenever he wants. The little guy can already walk unsteadily.
The little dumpling held onto the door frame, wanting to go out, when the little prince ran over: "Rongchi, it's evening, what are you going to do? Play inside."
"Go to the storeroom," the little dumpling said.
"What are you going to the storeroom for?" The young prince wouldn't let him go.
The little dumpling insisted on going, but the little prince couldn't make the decision. So, the Crown Prince Rong let the little dumpling and Rong Yang go to the storeroom. The little prince followed. What were they doing in the storeroom so late at night?!
Where are we going? The little dumpling is inspecting its territory.
“My darling,” the little dumpling said, pointing at the spirit food.
The young prince: "..."
Prince Rong: "..."
“Yours,” said Prince Rong, “but also Rong Yang’s.”
The little dumpling didn't mind having his older brother's share. He wouldn't let anyone hold him anymore, so he got down on the ground and wobbled around, looking at the basket to see how much he had. He was such a little money-grubber. Rong Yang followed along to inspect the basket.
The young prince asked, "Whom does he take after?"
Prince Rong: "...Qin Lang".
The young prince said, "What a money-grubber!"
The two children were indeed greedy for money. In the past, Rong Yang, as the eldest brother, would stop the little dumpling. This time, Rong Yang also agreed to inspect the family's wealth. The two little dumplings watched carefully as Rong Shizi closed the storeroom.
Prince Rong picked up the two little ones, and Rong Chi said in a childish voice, "My darling."
Prince Rong: "..."
"Yours." Prince Rong said somewhat irritably.
The little dumpling, thinking about its family's wealth, laughed in surprise and was very happy. Rong Yang was also happy, and the little prince was happy too. Children who are loved are carefree.
Prince Rong carried the child back to the inner courtyard and said to the young prince, "You don't need to take care of the child anymore."
The little prince ran off to play. He was a young boy, and now he was hungry again. He ran to the kitchen, took the leftover snails, and then went to the stove in the main room to pick out snail meat to eat.
There was about a pound of stir-fried snails with chili peppers left, and the little prince decided to eat it all.
Otherwise, I'll be so hungry I won't be able to sleep at night.
Poke a snail meat, and when you eat it, it's spicy, fragrant, and incredibly delicious.
Should we go back to the palace? The little prince won't go back. The food in the palace is nowhere near as good as what we eat at the Rongwang Mansion. Whenever there's something delicious in the palace, Fu Bao runs over to watch over it. She's the child who was born after swallowing two auspicious clouds.
There was no other way but to feed her.
The young prince sighed, ate a stir-fried snail with chili peppers, and his mood improved.
In the Crown Prince's bedroom, while the Crown Prince was taking off Rong Yang's little robe, the little dumpling Rong Chi was playing with his toes. He lost his balance and rolled over to Qin Bi's side. The Crown Prince quickly picked him up and took him away.
Qin Bi opened her eyes, and Prince Rong said, "Go to sleep."
The little dumpling's eyes lit up: "Get up and play!"
Qin Bi was about to get up when Rong Jun said, "Ignore him."
Rong Jun quickly took off the little dumpling Rong Chi's robe and threw him into the quilt. Rong Yang also got into the quilt and whispered to the little dumpling Rong Chi, telling him not to disturb Qin Bi's sleep.
The little dumpling finally calmed down. Qin Bi lay back down and fell asleep in no time. Prince Rong sat by the bed watching his wife and child, giving the maids and servants a chance to approach the bedside, take the little prince's shoes and put them away, and tidy up the child's lost belongings before leaving.
With Prince Rong calming him down, the little dumpling stopped fussing and quickly fell asleep.
Rong Yang was sleeping soundly, and the Crown Prince Rong silently kept him company. The little dumpling kicked off the blanket, and Rong Yang reached out to tuck the blanket back in for him. After a moment, the Crown Prince Rong got up and went to the study to see his advisors.
Qin Bi slept until the next day, then got up to play with the children.
Sweet potatoes imbued with spiritual energy were roasting on the stove. Once they were done, Qin Bi peeled one and ate it. It was very mealy, the kind that crumbles when you eat it. Qin Bi was pleasantly surprised; she loved eating these mealy sweet potatoes imbued with spiritual energy.
Qin Bi ate, Rong Yang and Rong Chi also ate, and the little prince ate with them.
When Prince Rong came over, Qin Bi asked, "Has the hide of the Flame Beast been prepared?"
Seeing that she had rested well and looked healthy, Prince Rong said, "Yes."
Prince Rong summoned the young prince to leave. A short while later, the young prince returned carrying colorful fire-breathing beast hides. These were all from high-level beasts, with excellent fur color and soft hair.
Qin Bi took the animal hides and picked out colors. The little prince ran off to play, and while the Crown Princess watched the children, he could play.
The two little ones also chose it, touching it and saying, "It's so warm."
"What color animal hides do you like?" Qin Bi asked.
Rong Yang said, "Black."
Rong Chi: "It's pink, and it's warm."
Looking at the adorable children, Qin Bi teased them on purpose: "Rongyang, I'll make you pink, and Rongchi, I'll make you black."
Rong Yang: "......"
Rong Chi: "..."
The two little ones were dumbfounded.
"I want pink," the little dumpling emphasized.
Rong Yang also said, "I want the black one."
Qin Bi gave the black flame beast hide to Rong Chi and the pink one to Rong Yang, adding, "Make the pink one for Rong Yang and the black one for Rong Chi."
Rong Yang was fine, but the little dumpling wouldn't have it and stood up from the stool.
The child staggered outside, saying, "I'm going to tell my father that his wife is bad."
How dare he say she's bad? Qin Bi said to Rong Yang, "Grab him for me."
Rong Yang ran over and grabbed Rong Chi.
Rong Chi was strong, and so was Rong Yang. Qin Bi and Rong Yang grabbed the little dumpling and, together, picked him up and threw him onto the small bed. Qin Bi and Rong Yang then took care of him.
It was just a joke, but the little guy laughed out loud when he was tickled.
"Are you still going to complain to your father?" Qin Bi asked.
"I'm not going to tell anyone!" Rong Chi's little voice was so cute.
Qin Bi adored the two little ones and had a great time playing with them. Qin Bi and the children were playing together, and Rong Chi loved excitement. After playing for a while, Qin Bi took the hide of the Flame Beast and started thinking about making a robe for the little prince.
"Would you like some little boots?" Qin Bi asked.
"Yes, I'll take it." Rong Yang nodded.
“Yes, I want it,” Rong Chi replied.
Qin Bi had selected the hide of the fire monster and planned to have He Shi cut it for her later. Rong Yang and Rong Chi sat on the small bed, picking at the colorful fire monster hides.
Qin Bi grabbed some small sweet radishes and shared them with the children, discussing what to eat for lunch.
Qin Bi was happy, and so was the little dumpling; their laughter could be heard throughout the courtyard. (End of Chapter)
