Chapter 235 Wilderness
Qin Bi was angry with Qin He, but she wasn't exactly happy either.

There's no other reason than that he dislikes Qin He, wants her dead, but is angry that she can't die, so he's not satisfied.

But Qin Bi understood that Qin He was protected by the Heavenly Dao, and neither the Great Yan nor the Immortal Sect would allow her to be killed. So, if she was left alive, given their relationship, she would definitely take the opportunity to kick Qin He while she was down.

Qin Bi had had enough and returned to the Rong King's Mansion.

At the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, Rong Yang ran over and called out, "Mother."

Qin Bi bent down and picked up the little dumpling. The little dumpling said in a childish voice, "Why didn't you take me with you? I thought Mother would be back soon. Rong Yang has been waiting at the gate of the Prince's Mansion for a long time."

Qin Bi coaxed him, "I'll take you next time."

"Okay!" Rong Yang said happily.

He Yan is not good, Rong Yang is so good. Qin Bi kissed the little dumpling. Where is her child? Rong Yang leaned on her shoulder and said in a childish voice, "Brother." As she spoke, she went back to the courtyard.

Prince Rong was in the study, so Qin Bi went to the study to look for him.

The staff rose to take their leave. Qin Bi walked up to Rong Jun, who was babbling. Qin Bi, holding Rong Yang, leaned down and teased the little guy: "Hey, I'm back from my maternal grandparents' house. I'm not taking you with me."

Prince Rong: "..."

Rong Yang: "......"

The little dumpling's little mouth says, "I don't understand anything."

Qin Bi was pleased, and Prince Rong smiled. He didn't want to argue with this woman. As long as he knew that Qin Bi doted on Rong Yang just as much, he would indulge her no matter what.

It was getting late, so Rong Jun got up and gave the little dumpling to Qin Bi. He took Rong Yang with him, as his youngest son was too small to be separated from Qin Bi for too long, or he would fuss.

Before leaving the study, Qin Bi told Rong Jun, "I'm going to clear the land tomorrow."

Rong Yang quickly said, "I'll go too."

He no longer attends court. His uncle has saved all the memorials for him. He's still so young, why give him so many memorials? It's better for him to stay with his mother; he can play everywhere.

Qin Bi looked at Rong Jun, and the young master Rong asked the little guy, "It's very hot in the summer."

Rong Yang said, "I'm not afraid of the heat."

Qin Bi didn't believe that children weren't afraid of the heat, and Prince Rong was also reluctant to let his child be exposed to the sun. However, Rong Yang clearly wanted to go, so Rong Jun sent a guard to tell He Yan, and He Yan didn't stop him.

So, some preparations were needed. He Yan sent pastries made with spiritual food to the Rong King's mansion. The Rong Prince also put a spiritual melon on the table, and there was half a bunch of spiritual fruit brought back from the immortal sect, which were given to the two children separately.

Qin Bi finished tidying up, and Rong Yang peeked out with her little head.

Rong Jun put his sleeping youngest son down and watched his wife and children pacing back and forth. He felt a warm feeling and thought it was all good. He smiled slightly and thought to himself, "He Yan really lost out!"

The next morning, Qin Lang and Qin Xun came to pick them up in a carriage, and as usual, their strategist Lin Yao accompanied them. At this time, Lin Yao and the Qin Xun brothers were waiting in the living room. The Crown Prince of Rong sent his youngest son to the King of Rong, as it was cool in the morning and the youngest son would not get too hot.

Prince Rong personally escorted Qin Bi and her entourage to the Ministry of Works. When they arrived at the location where the Ministry of Works had set up the teleportation array, Qin Bi and the others got off the carriage. Prince Rong did not show himself, but lifted the curtain to take a look before leaving.

Qin Yan, Qin Tang, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu had been waiting for a long time. Beside them was a young nobleman dressed in noble attire, with red lips, white teeth, and clear features. Qin Bi recognized him.

Rong Yang was delighted: "Uncle He."

He Zu smiled and said, "Hey, nephew." Qin Bi recognized him; he was He Yan's cousin, a skilled fighter and a cultivation genius. He was He Yan's little follower and had once been very protective of Qin He, treating her with disdain. But there was no need to doubt He Zu's affection for Rong Yang.

The person sent by He Yan was naturally someone who followed Rong Yang.

Qin Bi put Rong Yang down, really wanting to complain and tell Rong Yang to ignore He Zu, but she couldn't. Rong Yang would need a clansman like He Zu to protect his hereditary title in the future, so she just ignored him.

"Is Uncle coming with me to reclaim the wasteland?" Rong Yang ran to find He Zu and asked, looking up at him.

“That’s right!” He Zu picked up the young prince and fawned, “I stole this opportunity; none of the other brothers can beat me.”

Rong Yang grinned, and He Zu greeted Qin Bi, saying, "Greetings, Princess Rong."

Qin Bi ignored him. Not taking it to heart didn't mean she was giving him face. He Zu didn't mind either. Rong Yang blinked. Lin Yao clicked his tongue. Oh my, the Crown Princess is so powerful. She's spoiled and arrogant, and she doesn't give anyone any face.

Lin Yao had long heard of the young master of the He family; he was not someone to be trifled with. It was the first time he had tolerated the princess for the sake of the young master. He would just have to put up with it, since they probably didn't have a good relationship before.

Lin Yao was secretly pleased with himself. Serves him right. Originally, the fourth concubine's daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis's family was the wife of the heir of the Yan State Duke's family. The He family didn't cherish her and let their Rong heir get a great deal.

Given He Zu's unwillingness to suffer losses, one can only imagine how this young master felt seeing his cousin He Yan lose both his wife and his army, and the little prince he had been longing for was even closer to the Rong Prince's Mansion. Lin Yao chuckled while fanning himself.

Each serving their own master, He Zu felt aggrieved, while Lin Yao, the chief strategist of the Rong King's mansion, was in a much better mood.

When acquaintances greeted him, Lin Yao chatted with them, and Qin Bi pretended not to know them, just like when she first went to explore the wasteland.

Lin Yao's lips twitched. Last time, he thought that since the Crown Princess was born out of wedlock, she could pretend not to know her. But he, the chief strategist, had followed the Crown Princess several times, and she was still pretending not to know him.

Sigh, last time he was unwilling to follow the Crown Princess, and this time it's the same. The Crown Princess may not be willing to take him along either. He didn't realize it last time, but he understands it clearly this time. The Crown Princess doesn't think it's a good thing to have the top strategist of the Rong Prince's Mansion with her.

"Rong Yang," Qin Lang asked, "Do you want me to hold you?"

Rong Yang said, "My uncle is holding me."

Qin Lang was fine with it, but he called Qin Bi and the others to enter the teleportation array. He Zu followed with Rong Yang in his arms. This time, there were about a hundred people being teleported. The teleportation array was activated, and they instantly arrived in the desolate land.

At first glance, Qin Bi thought that after a year, the barren land should have improved, but she shouldn't have had any expectations. All she could see was hardened soil, and the ground was so dry it was practically smoking.

Rong Yang blinked, and He Zu shielded him from the sun.

Qin Bi stepped out of the teleportation array and turned around. He Zu quickly followed. People from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works set up tables and a sunshade nearby. The Confucian scholars went over to register, and Lin Yao and several acquaintances also went over.

Qin Bi found a minor official and asked, "Can't I accept the reclaimed farmland?"

The junior official from the Ministry of Works glanced at her and said in a very good mood, "Once the crops sprout, you can ask for more. For example, if you clear a plot of land, plant crops, and give the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Revenue a small amount of land, that's fine."

Qin Bi took a moment to understand: "The rest are all mine?"

The junior official nodded: "They're all yours."

Qin Tang and the others listened from the side without asking any questions. After Qin Bi finished asking, she waved her hand, and everyone walked westward together. After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Rong Yan stopped. All around was wasteland.

Rong Yan said, "Let's start clearing the land here."

All you can see is wasteland; there's no choice but to find any piece of land to cultivate.
