The wife travels through time and space to honor her husband: The heirless prince raises a child

Chapter 183 They really can't get enough of taking advantage.

Prince Xue nodded: "I will go to the immortal sect to find you high-grade magic artifacts."

Qin He nodded seriously. Only high-grade magical artifacts can summon more rain, but magical artifacts that can summon rain are very rare, so most of them are of low grade. Qin He sighed in frustration.

The advisors of Prince Xue's mansion stepped in and brought down a little rain using a high-grade summoning artifact.

As for Qin He's claim that the summoning artifact wouldn't work, the advisors didn't say much.

The Great Yan region is suffering from a severe drought, as are the Great Chu and Rongdi regions. The entire cultivation world is experiencing the same problem. Summers are getting increasingly hot, with the intense sunlight scorching the air as if it were a fireball, making people irritable and restless.

Highly skilled cultivators went to the realm of demon beasts to collect fruits and spiritual plants.

Rogue cultivators and low-level cultivators dare not act rashly. The world of demon beasts is fraught with danger, and the demon beasts are even more ferocious. A slight mistake can cost you your life. Cultivation can be a training exercise, but it does not mean you should risk your life.

In light of this, some cultivators focused on reclaiming wasteland for farming and planting fruits and vegetables.

Anyone skilled in planting and possessing some spiritual energy can cultivate spiritual food containing spiritual energy. However, due to the scarcity of rain, both immortal sects and low-level cultivators yearn for rain.

Relying on summons seems to be insufficient.

"I want to eat spirit fruit, I want to eat spirit fruit..." Fu Bao made a fuss.

“Your father and I are not strong enough, and we cannot go to the small space of the demon beast realm without full preparation.” Qin He squatted down and patiently coaxed Fu Bao: “Fu Bao, you must understand your parents and be a good child. Cultivation is a step-by-step process of increasing cultivation, unlike your Uncle He, who can go to the small space of the demon beast realm at any time. With his cultivation, he doesn’t have to worry about his life.”

Fu Bao pouted, "Then let Uncle He go to the small space in the demon beast realm!"

Qin He lowered her head, looking troubled: "How can I trouble others?"

Fu Bao didn't think so: "Uncle He isn't an outsider, he's Fu Bao's Uncle He."

Fu Bao lifted her skirt and ran to the front yard, shouting that she wanted to go to the Duke of Yan's mansion.

Qin He instructed, "Prepare a carriage for the young princess."

Fu Bao got into the carriage. The young master He was not at home in the Duke of Yan's mansion. When the Duchess of Yan saw Fu Bao, the little girl sweetly called her "Grandmother." The Duchess of Yan smiled and asked someone to bring some snacks.

"Grandmother," Fu Bao said innocently, "I don't want snacks, I want spirit fruit. In summer, eating fruits can quench thirst. I haven't had spirit fruit for several days. There are no spirit fruits left in the Xue Prince's mansion."

The head maid who had come with her looked approving. Spiritual food was good for cultivation, so it was best to eat spiritual food.

Lady Yan smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "You've come at an inopportune time. There are no spirit fruits in the manor, but the common fruits from the estate are in season. If you'd like some, I'll cut up a plate for you."

"I want to eat spirit fruit." Fu Bao pouted, "Grandma, if we don't have spirit fruit, we can buy it at the Spirit Plant Street!"

The Spirit Plant Street is all-encompassing, possessing everything useful for cultivation. There are all kinds of spiritual food, and no shortage of spiritual plants, demon beasts, and crystals. As long as you have silver, you can have whatever you want.

Fu Bao is young, but she is a regular on Lingzhi Street. The little girl is quite picky about food.

She was born after swallowing two auspicious clouds. The entire Xue Prince's Mansion felt that Fu Bao was blessed with good fortune, so the Xue Prince and Princess doted on her and gave her as much spiritual food as possible.

With the lack of rainwater, the price of spiritual food has increased, and even the Xue Prince's Mansion cannot supply it.

Fu Bao was craving something sweet and was determined to eat the spirit fruit.

It was impolite for Fu Bao, given her status, to come to the Duke of Yan's mansion asking for spirit fruit. However, since she was just a child, no one held it against her. Otherwise, Princess Xue and Qin He wouldn't have sent Fu Bao here.

Lady Yan lost her patience and, for the first time, found Fu Bao quite unreasonable: "Go and cut a plate of fresh melons from the estate." "I want to eat spirit fruit," Fu Bao insisted.

Lady Yan had no reason to give face to a child, so she pretended not to hear. A short while after the maid left, she washed a white-skinned melon, cut it into small pieces, and brought it up.

Fu Bao ate reluctantly, saying, "If I wanted to eat spirit fruit at home, my grandmother would definitely buy it for me right away."

This little scheme won't work on Lady Yan. Things are different now. He Yan isn't childless. Qin He's child won't get anything from the Duke of Yan's mansion; they all belong to Rong Yang.

“Princess Xue is a good grandmother,” said the Duchess of Yan.

The wife of the second young master of the Yan State Duke's Mansion, the Second Young Mistress, came into the living room. She glanced at Fu Bao as she entered the room, her lowered eyes hiding disdain. Fu Bao did not notice and continued to eat the melon on her plate without ceremony.

No one else was eating; only Fu Bao was enjoying her meal in the entire living room.

The second young mistress covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled softly. The maid from the Xue Prince's mansion blushed, feeling a burning sensation on her face. Fu Bao, however, didn't seem to notice and finished her plate of melon with lingering satisfaction.

"I want to eat more melon."

The second young mistress was even more disdainful. Even the maids of the Xue Prince's Mansion had some sense of shame. She hurriedly coaxed Fu Bao to leave. She had been serving Fu Bao all along and knew how to coax the First-Rank Princess.

"Young Princess, we have ice cream in our shop, let's go eat some ice cream," the maid said.

"Okay." Fu Bao was feeling hot and wanted to eat ice cream.

The maidservants of Prince Xue's mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and Fu Bao bid farewell to her elders.

After bowing, Fu Bao said, "Grandmother, I want to take a basket of melons back and share them with everyone in the Prince's Mansion."

The maidservants of the Xue Prince's Mansion looked at the Duchess of Yan, and the second young mistress rolled her eyes at her. She really never got enough of taking advantage of others. In the past, she just took advantage of the fact that her eldest brother didn't have any children to plunder the mansion.

Qin He taught her well, but Fu Bao is just like her, always trying to take advantage of others. She didn't learn anything good, but she picked up all the petty and stingy traits. She's definitely not worthy of being called a concubine's child.

Lady Yan, still smiling, said, "The yield on the estate is low, so I won't give it to you."

Fu Bao frowned and refused to leave: "How can I leave empty-handed?"

Everyone in the room was stunned. What kind of upbringing is this? Is this how the young princess of the Xue Prince's Mansion behaves? The head maid of the Xue Prince's Mansion suddenly turned ashen-faced and dragged Fu Bao away.

Lady Yan was somewhat relieved, for Rong Yang had been well-educated by the Rong King's Mansion.

Lady Yan thought that the Rong Prince's Mansion had also done a great favor for the Yan State Duke's Mansion, so she said to the second young mistress, "Go and pick out the best-looking melons from the estate and send two baskets to the Rong Prince's Mansion."

The second young mistress immediately stood up: "Yes, Mother, I'll go right away."

The second young mistress was also decisive, quickly directing her maids and servants to pick out three baskets of the best melons, two baskets of fruit, and some fresh vegetables, loading them into two carts and sending them to the Rong Prince's Mansion.

Rong Yang ran over to see the things sent by the Duke of Yan's mansion. The child was very happy and called out, "Auntie."

"Oh." The second young mistress wept with joy; this was truly their child.

Not to mention sending two cartloads of melons and fruits, even the entire produce from the estate was sent over, and the second young mistress didn't say a word. The second young mistress looked at Rong Yang with fervent eyes, finding her pleasing in every way.

"Rongyang, come with your aunt to the Duke of Yan's mansion," the second young mistress coaxed.
