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

Chapter 274 Even if there were a spirit melon, I wouldn't give it to Fu Bao.
If Qin He didn't have the title of the chosen one, who knows what other cultivation families would think.

I got struck by lightning when I went out, and now I've lost all my food. Something's wrong!

In short, it's not a matter of being blessed.

"I want to go to the palace!" Fu Bao cried and fussed. "I want to ask my imperial uncle for another spirit melon. Spirit melons are very sweet and don't make you feel hot. It's already autumn, and I haven't eaten a spirit melon yet."

I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen.

Prince Xue showed his displeasure. How could the princess of the royal palace be so rude? It was no different from raising a spoiled brat. Princess Xue would never raise such an unreasonable child.

She should be the Crown Prince's wife. Prince Xue said, "A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter."

Princess Xue sighed, unable to defend Qin He. Being born out of wedlock was indeed a bit lacking. She had tried her best to raise Fu Bao, but she still ended up being so disobedient.

Qin He also threw a tantrum at Prince Xue, wondering if Fu Bao liked to eat the spirit melon. She wanted to eat it too.

Frustrated by everything, Qin He wanted to cry. She had never been so frustrated since her transmigration. As she sobbed, Prince Xue noticed that Prince Xue and his wife were unhappy and tried his best to coax Qin He and Fu Bao to stop their tantrum.

That evening, the Qin Yan Marquis's residence was bustling with activity. Qin Yan and the others all picked the spirit melons and returned home. Everyone in the household was overjoyed, and even the concubines, illegitimate children, and illegitimate sons and daughters were called over to share a small piece.

"Brother," one of the illegitimate sons said, "isn't the desolate land lacking in spiritual energy?"

Qin Yan was talking with Qin Yanhou when he heard this and said, "With enough rain, the crops will grow."

The illegitimate son disagreed, saying cheerfully, "Our Qin Yan Marquis's fortune has improved. There are plenty of cultivation families, but I've never seen any cultivation family grow such sweet and crisp melons in the wilderness."

Qin Yan thought of the palm-sized Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud and nodded in agreement. The Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud could be considered a rare and precious treasure.

The concubine's daughters whispered among themselves, "We didn't get to eat the spirit melon that Qin He gave us this year."

Lady Qin Yan sighed softly. "Why bring this up again? Prince He used to treat Qin He's children as his own because he had no children of his own. He would prepare good things for Fu Bao, and the Xue Prince's Mansion would also benefit from it."

Now that Prince He has a child, even if the Duke of Yan's mansion has a spirit melon, they won't give it to Fu Bao.

In the third house, Qin Tan also called the whole family together. He cut open a spirit melon and a regular watermelon, giving each person a small piece to taste the spirit melon.

The children from the third family were pleasantly surprised, taking a small bite and exclaiming, "Delicious!"

Zhu Shi was given a normal-sized piece of the spirit melon, while the concubines and illegitimate children were given only a small piece, just enough to taste. No one objected, as the status of the principal wife was superior to theirs.

Qin Tan took the opportunity to remind the third branch of the family: "We are able to cultivate a piece of land in this desolate place entirely thanks to Qin Lang's Five Grains Abundant Cloud. This is a rare and precious treasure. It is Qin Lang's blessing to have such a small cloud, and it is also the blessing of our third branch. The entire Marquis's mansion will surely benefit as well. You should all be careful with this little cloud."

The illegitimate sons and daughters all nodded: "Father, we understand."

Qin Lang was overjoyed. His illegitimate sons and daughters were both envious and happy, feeling that things were finally looking up for their third branch of the family. In the past, when Qin He brought back spiritual food, the second branch would only distribute it to the first and fifth branches, and the third and fourth branches would not be involved.

The concubine's daughter was overjoyed, for this was not something anyone brought back; it was something their family had grown.

In the courtyard of the fourth branch, the whole family also cut a piece of spirit melon to eat. The concubine daughters looked at the small piece of spirit melon in their hands, peeked at the spirit melon that Madam He was holding, and pouted. Such a small piece of spirit melon was not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Eat it in small bites, and finish it in two bites.

"Mother," the illegitimate daughter spoke, "may I have another piece of the spirit melon?"

When the spirit melon was offered, the illegitimate daughter deliberately took a large bite. There was no other reason; there was also a regular watermelon. The illegitimate daughter worried that after finally getting the girl to open her mouth to ask, she would only be given a piece of ordinary watermelon. Who would eat a regular watermelon when there was a spirit melon? As soon as this illegitimate daughter spoke, everyone else watched with eager anticipation.

Mrs. He said unhappily, "Take a piece of watermelon and eat it."

The illegitimate daughter immediately asked, "A watermelon with spiritual energy?"

Those that possess spiritual energy are generally called "spirit melons," but He Shi said that watermelons are definitely just ordinary melons.

The concubine's daughter's petty thoughts were obvious. Madam He's face darkened. The ungrateful thing dared to play tricks on her. Qin Di usually did not interfere with Madam He's discipline of her children, but he frowned at this moment.

"Everyone has tasted the melon," Qin Di said. "If there's nothing else, you can all go back."

Before she could even get a piece of the spirit melon, the illegitimate daughter hesitated, then the illegitimate sons left. The others, sensing the awkward atmosphere, quickly left as well. The illegitimate daughter blinked and had no choice but to leave as well.

He's good mood vanished instantly. The next day, Qin Bi took her youngest son back to her parents' home. Upon hearing this, she got up and went to He's side, showing her the little baby.

"Mother," Qin Bi said obediently, "I'll give you a hug."

Madam He looked at the little dumpling, who was a precious treasure, the apple of Prince Rong's eye, and no one else was allowed to touch her. Qin Bi gave her to hold, and Madam He took her and finally smiled.

“The Rongchi is really beautiful,” said Madam Jiang. “It’s like a porcelain doll.”

Qin Bi smiled and, seeing that Madam He was still in a bad mood, advised her, "Mother, why bother with them? These younger sisters used to side with Qin He and betray her. I couldn't be bothered with them."

As Madam He played with the little baby, Qin Bi instructed, "Mother, please hold Rong Chi carefully. He is the apple of Rong Shizi's eye. He wouldn't trust anyone else to hold him. I'll hold him for you."

These words seemed to have a deeper meaning. Madam He looked up, and Qin Bi instructed the guards to activate the teleportation array and leave.

Upon arriving in this desolate place, Qin Bi hurriedly stood under the grape trellis, looking up to find the reddening grapes. Qin Tang and Lin Yao thought she was looking for ripe grapes for the child, so they helped her cut two bunches.

"My half-sister has upset Mother." Qin Bi held up the spirit fruit, preparing to activate the teleportation array: "I'll give it to Mother to eat."

Qin Tang and Lin Yao were both taken aback, as Qin Bi had already activated the teleportation array and returned.

The teleportation array returned to the courtyard of the fourth branch of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. Qin Bi's round trip took only the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea. She took the grapes into the main hall and put down a small basket of spiritual fruits.

He Shi, Jiang Shi, and Lin Shi were all stunned. Qin Bi said to He Shi, "Mother, it's not worth getting angry. I picked some spiritual fruits for you, so you can eat them all. After I wash them, you can feed them to Rong Chi."

He finally smiled, her feelings complex, yet genuinely happy.

This small basket contained five or six strings of fruit, and Qin Bi didn't feel bad at all. Jiang Shi and Lin Shi were quite surprised, never expecting that Qin Bi valued He Shi so much.

While the other concubine daughters were arguing with Madam He, Qin Bi simply picked a small basket of fruit.

Both Jiang and Lin were legitimate daughters, and they were envious. They wondered why their mothers hadn't met such considerate concubine daughters. They wished they had just one. Qin Bi wasn't brainless; she simply wanted to be good to He Shi.

Jiang glanced at He secretly, thinking how lucky she was.

Lin looked at him with disbelief and a blank expression. "There are illegitimate daughters like this?"
