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

Chapter 283 The Realm of Half-Immortals

The Qin Yan Marquis's residence was bustling with activity. In the palace, the Great Yan Emperor glared at the young prince and Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu went to the side first, and the Emperor of Da Yan asked the little prince, "You were only concerned with eating. Your maternal grandfather's family bought so many melons, and you even helped the Minister of War buy them basket after basket. Why didn't you remember to buy me a melon to eat?"

The little prince lowered his head and remained silent. The Emperor of Great Yan said, "Have you forgotten that you are a prince?"

"The palace bought some spirit melons to share with Fu Bao." The little prince raised his head and said, "Rong Yang doesn't like Fu Bao, so she won't sell them to us. Last time, she even gave one of the spirit melons she bought to Fu Bao."

The Emperor of Great Yan glared: "Qin He is the chosen one. Isn't this just to coax something out of her? Do you think your father is a foolish ruler? Giving her a magical melon for no reason."

"Besides, I paid for the demon beast crystals." The Great Yan Emperor said with dissatisfaction, "You only took the crystals to buy melons, but you didn't spend your demon beast crystals. Those were my private treasury."

The young prince also complained, "I didn't get to eat either!"

Of the two spirit melons, Fu Bao got one, but the little prince didn't see the other one.

"So you ate your fill outside and came back?" The Emperor of Great Yan wasn't stupid; the little prince's belly was round and full.

The little prince pretended to be stupid, hehe, the watermelons in the wilderness are really delicious.

In the Xue Prince's mansion, Qin He couldn't help but throw a tantrum, and was actually given two ordinary watermelons to appease her. The maids and servants were like quails. The Xue Prince knew that Qin He hadn't given her the special watermelon, so he didn't say anything.

Qin He always wanted to become a prodigy in the Marquis's mansion, but not being valued was something she couldn't stand the most.

Fu Bao looked around and asked, "Where's my magic melon? Mother said she would bring me a magic melon back."

Qin He, impatient, snapped, "No spirit melons."

When Fu Bao heard that there would be no spirit melon to eat, she started to throw a tantrum and cry incessantly.

The old woman who served the princess went back and went into the living room to see Princess Xue.

"What's going on now?" Princess Xue asked.

"The Crown Princess returned to her parents' home empty-handed," the nanny replied. "The Qin Yan Marquis's residence was harvesting melons in the wilderness today. I heard the melons were growing exceptionally well, and many people couldn't buy them. They didn't give the Crown Princess any of the special melons, and she's throwing a tantrum."

Princess Xue pondered, "They didn't even give us ordinary melons?"

"They gave us two ordinary watermelons," the nanny said. "The Crown Princess didn't like them and didn't want them."

Princess Xue was somewhat disappointed. If it weren't for Prince He's arrangement, Qin He, a concubine's daughter, would never have become the prince's wife. Xue Qing was outstanding among the sons of nobles and there was no need for him to marry a concubine's daughter.

Fortunately, Qin He was talented and not an unknown figure in the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. With the help of Prince He as matchmaker, Princess Xue and Prince Xue finally agreed to the marriage.

Today, Qin Yanhou's mansion was harvesting melons. Qin He went there confidently, but surprisingly, she didn't get a single spirit melon. Princess Xue sighed in frustration. Where did things go wrong? Qin He used to be quite presentable!

Could it be... fate?

Without the protection of the Duke of Yan's fortune, has Qin He lost all her luster?!

When Prince Xue arrived at the Princess's courtyard, Princess Xue brought up the matter: "Your Highness, is there something wrong with Qin He's luck? Before, Qin He had everything going smoothly, but recently she has been struck by lightning."

There's not much hope left for the Duke of Yan's mansion. Heir Apparent He has a child, so he can scheme a little, but he can't go too far. Therefore, Qin He will receive less of this blessing and good fortune.

“No.” After a moment of contemplation, Prince Xue said, “There should be no problem with the luck. Before the Crown Princess married, everything went smoothly in the Qin Yan Marquis’s mansion, which shows that the luck of the Marquis’s mansion was not bad for Qin He. Even without the luck of the Yan State Duke’s mansion, the luck of the Qin Yan Marquis’s mansion is still there.”

“A marquis’s mansion, and one that has just become a family of cultivators,” said Princess Xue. “How much fortune can it possibly have?” Prince Xue glanced at the princess and said, “What do you know? Even if the Qin Yan Marquis’s mansion is in decline, the fortune and luck of a marquis’s mansion are always unpredictable. The most powerful fortune is the one that cannot be seen.”

The royal family and nobles were well aware of the situation, so the Qin Yan Marquis's apparent decline was very convincing.

When Qin Yanhou and Qin Shizi went out, many noble families and immortal cultivation families still gave them face. Qin Shizi had a lot of connections, but he was just low-key. Otherwise, how could Rong Shizi and He Shizi be friends with Qin Shizi?

Without this unfathomable fortune, the concubine's daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion would never have had any interaction with the heir of the royal family.

Over the years, the Great Yan Emperor, with his maxed-out fortune, has occasionally paid attention to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence to see what kind of luck it has. The six ministers have also sometimes shown some concern for it.

However, over the years, apart from Qin He, whose fate was somewhat different, everyone else's life has been quite ordinary.

"Do you think the Immortal Sect would accept the Crown Princess as a disciple for no reason?" Prince Xue scoffed. "The Crown Princess is mediocre; she only relies on the extraordinary luck of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion."

Princess Xue felt uncomfortable hearing this. Prince Xue had concubines and other women, not just Xue Qing. Qin He and Xue Qing shared both glory and fortune. When Prince Xue said that Qin He was mediocre, Xue Qing was also looked down upon.

“That’s not how it works,” Princess Xue said, speaking up for Qin He. “The Crown Princess is a talented woman in the Great Yan Dynasty, after all.”

King Xue scoffed, calling it all empty talk. He said that talented women were not as practical as the geniuses of cultivation families. They could just hold a flower appreciation party, compose poems and paint a few pictures to make a name for themselves as talented women.

Qin He had a terrible night, but Qin Bi slept very well.

In her dream, celestial birds flew past the palace, and the lighthearted music brought joy. Qin Bi didn't know why, but she sat on the semi-immortal throne and listened to the celestial music. Various celestial birds flew to the cheerful music, and the fairies danced gracefully.

Qin Bi smiled broadly. Suddenly, a lucky-looking young man foolishly mingled among the fairy birds.

Qin Bi thought the face looked familiar. The boy turned his head and saw Qin Bi: "Sister, where is this?"

"Qin Lang?" Qin Bi snapped out of her reverie in the celestial realm.

Suddenly, Qin Bi woke up. Prince Rong had just returned from his study after meeting with his advisors. He stared at Qin Bi, who was still smiling in her sleep. In an instant, Qin Bi's eyes cleared.

"I had a good dream." Qin Bi was still in a good mood.

Prince Rong sat down and held Qin Bi in his arms: "What dream?"

"I dreamt of the Immortal Realm." Qin Bi mentioned the Immortal Realm casually. Rong Shizi remained expressionless. Qin Bi smiled, then said irritably, "Qin Lang appeared out of nowhere, and then I woke up. Fairies were performing a dance. What a wonderful dream!"

The young master Rong found it amusing and coaxed her to continue sleeping.

The next morning, Qin Tan got up and brushed her teeth.

Qin Lang came to the main courtyard of the third branch for dinner and happily approached Qin Tan: "Father, I dreamed about the Immortal Realm last night. Guess how powerful my sister is in the Immortal Realm?"

Qin Tan spat out some water and casually asked, "How powerful is it?"

"My sister sits on the throne of a half-immortal emperor, watching celestial birds fly." Qin Lang probably thought it was nonsense, and laughed to himself.

Qin Tan ignored him, washed her face, and went to have breakfast.

There are still unripe melons in the wilderness. Qin Tan plans to go back to the county government office first, and then return to the wilderness.
