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

Chapter 266 Earning Monster Crystals

Qin Yan had already given instructions, and Prince Su only bought one spirit melon.

The Minister of Revenue and Prince Su returned quickly, and the Minister of Works and Qin Tan's friend returned not far behind. Unfortunately, they were no longer selling them any un-cracked spirit melons.

The reason is simple: the little dumpling Rongchi is young, but he is a little foodie.

Everyone was busy buying the spirit melons and didn't notice anything amiss. But when he saw everyone carrying their melons away, the little dumpling was dumbfounded and started thrashing around trying to come back, only to find that everyone had already left!

The little dumpling pouted, her clear eyes brimming with tears.

This broke Rong Shizi's heart. Rong Yang hurriedly waved his hand, "I won't sell it, I won't sell it. I'll keep it all for Rong Chi to eat."

The little dumpling pouted and cried, then nestled on Prince Rong's shoulder, looking aggrieved.

The little prince hadn't left. He stayed behind under the guise of helping out, but actually just to freeload. He hurriedly ran to the field to call Qin Bi back. When Qin Bi came out of the farmland and saw the little guy's aggrieved look, she couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Bi took the little dumpling and teased him, "Everyone else has left, why didn't you keep an eye on the melon?"

Prince Rong said, "Rong Chi understands."

Qin Bi laughed: "He's only a few months old, what does he know!"

After saying that, Qin Bi deliberately said to the little dumpling, "I've sold them all for you."

The little dumpling was stunned for a moment, then felt extremely wronged, reaching out its little hands to Prince Rong. What could Prince Rong do? He couldn't bear to be harsh with the older one, and he cherished the younger one even more.

Unlike Qin Bi, Prince Rong wouldn't be naive enough to take his youngest son and coax him.

Qin Bi leaned closer and continued teasing, "Did you really cry?"

The little dumpling was crying, and Qin Bi couldn't help but want to tease him on purpose.

The little dumpling had just been comforted when Qin Bi deliberately teased her, and she started crying again with a pout.

Prince Rong: "..."

Qin Bi smiled, while Rong Jun was extremely helpless, patiently coaxing the little dumpling.

Qin Bi giggled. Prince Rong couldn't bear to scold her. Qin Tang said to her, "The child is so young and he's already crying. Why are you still teasing him?"

Alright, Qin Bi behaved herself and picked up the little one to coax him. She was good at coaxing, holding the little dumpling and making "ah-woo" sounds to play with the child, who immediately giggled.

Prince Rong: "..."

Qin Tang: "..."

At noon, a team of guards was left behind, while the others carried the spirit melons and left the desolate land.

Actually, it wouldn't be necessary to leave guards behind. Qin Tan and Qin Yan were still busy irrigating the fields with the Five Grains Abundance Cloud, and people were constantly reclaiming the land. No one dared to covet the spirit melons.

When the Minister of Revenue and Prince Su returned, Qin Bi and Rong Yang had just arrived in the desolate land.

The young prince didn't leave at all. He stayed in the desolate land at noon. When he saw the Minister of Revenue and others, the young prince said, "We're not selling the spirit melons anymore. We're not selling the spirit melons anymore. Go back now."

The Minister of Revenue and Prince Su didn't believe him. How could the Minister of War's grandson be trusted? The Minister of War was the most shrewd; he had bought the most spirit melons that morning, so the young prince naturally sided with his maternal grandfather.

After they were all driven away, did the Minister of War end up monopolizing all the Linggua (a type of melon)?

Ah, the Minister of Revenue is going to find Rong Yang.

"Young Master," said the Minister of Revenue, "buy the spirit melons."

Rong Yang said, "I'm not selling it."

The Minister of Revenue was dumbfounded, as were the young master Su and his companions. They had only bought one spirit melon and it was gone? If they had known this would happen, they would have rolled up their sleeves and grabbed two more spirit melons this morning.

“I’ll buy two good ones,” said Prince Su.

Qin Bi gave him a strange look. She was even less likely to sell the good ones; the little dumpling had cried after selling a basket of cracked melons, and selling the good ones would only make the little guy heartbroken. "I'm not selling anymore," the little prince waved his hand.

The young prince acted as if he were a member of the Rongwang Mansion, without any hesitation.

Looking at the pile of gourds on the ground, the group did not leave.

The Minister of Revenue simply inspected the farmland and became increasingly pleased with what he saw. Such a large piece of farmland had been reclaimed in this barren land lacking spiritual energy, and crops were growing there. Neither the surrounding Chu nor the Rongdi could do it.

The immortal cultivators look down on the desolate lands, presumably because they are helpless against the compacted soil.

Su Shizi and the others were eager to buy the spirit melon. Qin Bi thought that Rong Yang and Rong Chi needed connections in the court to accumulate Qi, so she hesitated for a moment and then called Rong Yang over.

The young prince ran over too. Qin Bi: "......"

If she were still a concubine's daughter in the Marquis's household, Qin Bi would never have had any contact with the princes.

"Rong Yang," Qin Bi pointed to the poor-quality melons in the field and said, "Sell these crooked and cracked melons. Keep only the good ones. Ask Prince Su and the others if they want these poor-quality melons."

The little prince immediately nodded his head: "Yes, yes."

Qin Bi: "..."

The little prince waved his hand and said, "I want them all."

The Minister of Revenue rushed over: "Young Prince, this won't do. Your maternal grandfather bought six spirit melons this morning, and you still took the ones that were of poor quality. This is not fair."

With the addition of the Minister of Works, the group outnumbered the young prince and competed with him for the inferior quality melons.

Rong Yang smiled broadly, his hands trembling from collecting so many crystals. The young master Rong gave him two storage bags specifically for storing demon beast crystals, one for high-level demon beast crystals and the other for low-level demon beast crystals.

Even the poor-quality melons are cool to the touch, and they're priced the same as cracked melons.

Su Shizi and his companions each bought two spirit melons and left. Before leaving, Su Shizi went to find Qin Yan and glanced at Qin Yan's melon patch. He was stunned for a moment and blinked.

"Did you plant them?" Prince Su asked.

"Ah," Qin Yan said, "I planted them."

Prince Su stared intently at Qin Yan: "Has your Qin Yan Marquis's mansion received some great opportunity?"

The heir of a marquis's mansion has absolutely no idea how to farm, yet he suddenly manages to grow such a large melon patch. Who would believe there isn't a great opportunity behind it? The heir of the Su family turned his head and looked at the fields all around. There was definitely a great opportunity.

Qin Yan had no choice but to say, "The rain that was summoned is good."

Prince Su was surprised, not expecting it to be for this reason. The abilities of summoning magical artifacts are different and varied, so it's not surprising that their effects are different. Prince Su was somewhat envious.

"If the Rongwang Mansion sells spirit melons, inform me immediately," Prince Su instructed.

Qin Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, the spirit melon is too brittle and will easily crack."

After visiting Qin Yan's melon patch, Prince Su gave him a heads-up: "If you're going to sell your melons, let me know."

Qin Yan nodded again: "Okay."

Only then did Prince Su leave. The fresh spirit melons were too brittle; they would crack at the slightest touch, and one melon would break off every now and then, which frightened Lin Yao and Qin Tan, who were picking the melons, making them very careful.

Qin Bi said, "Let's eat two."

"Alright." The guard cut the melon.

With so many people, two spirit melons were cut, and each person could get a small piece. The staff and guards took a bite, and the sweetness warmed their hearts. Rong Yan and Jiang Xu also got a small piece.

Taking a bite, Rong Yan exclaimed, "No wonder the young master loves eating spirit melons! They're so crisp and sweet, and they even make you feel cool after eating them!"

Holding the spirit melon, Jiang Xu hesitated and asked, "Young Master, can I take it home for my maternal grandfather to eat? My maternal grandfather is injured."
