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

Chapter 290 Go find Qin He
With over ten acres of land already, Lin Yao no longer cultivates the fields he reclaimed.

In addition, He Zu's farmland had been harvested, including peanuts and beans, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works had plenty of manpower to cultivate it.

It took several days to plant the Chinese cabbage and green radish seeds. The land in this desolate place was so dry that it was dry soil everywhere you walked. While planting the seeds, a cultivator with a water spirit root used a summoning artifact to summon rain.

Qin He was among them; she was fortunate.

"Are there any fruits?" Qin He's clothes were soaked with sweat, and she felt dizzy.

Autumn was extremely hot in the wilderness, no less so than summer. The men were a little better off, but the women found the heat unbearable. Qin He was filled with regret.

If she had known it would be so tough in this desolate place, she wouldn't have gotten involved.

An official from the Ministry of Revenue was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There is something to it."

A subordinate brought over a watermelon, cut it open, and the cultivators temporarily stopped summoning and went over to eat the watermelon. Qin He took a bite; the watermelon was a little sweet, but it was far inferior to the ordinary watermelons Qin Yan grew.

"This melon doesn't taste good," Qin He said disdainfully.

The others glanced at her but remained silent. They were grateful she had anything to eat; what a nuisance.

A few people were eating melon seeds and whispering to each other.

"This melon is sweet enough, and she still complains it's not good enough? I wonder what kind of melons she's eaten?"

"She is the second daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis's family, and this land belongs to the Marquis's family. It is said that the melons grown here are cool and sweet. She must have eaten them. No wonder she complained that the melons she bought were not good."

"But watermelons don't grow in autumn anyway. If there are any, they've been saved up. They're not freshly picked, so they can't be that delicious. The Ministry of Revenue is quite generous; they even cut a watermelon for us."

Qin He vaguely heard a few words and explained with a smile, "I've eaten spirit melons. Melons with spiritual energy taste really good. Eating a regular watermelon after eating a spirit melon is really incomparable."

Upon hearing this, two women immediately became interested.

"Have you ever eaten the spirit melon?"

Qin He smiled and said, "Yes, we can eat it every year."

In fact, Qin He was only able to eat spirit melons more often in the summer after Fu Bao was born. Before that, Prince He only gave her spirit melons once or twice. But if she didn't say anything, who would know? Qin He wanted to create the impression that she was very fortunate.

"I'm so envious! You're so lucky to have such delicious food!" a young girl exclaimed with envy.

"The spirit melon is very expensive, did you buy it?" another girl questioned.

"It was a gift from someone else." Qin He didn't mention Prince He.

But someone recognized Qin He. Turning to her companion, she whispered to her. The girl looked at Qin He again with a complicated expression, a mixture of jealousy and envy. What a blessing it was for a concubine's daughter of a marquis to be cherished and remembered by the son of a powerful minister!

Even though the marriage between Prince He and Qin He didn't go through, he still arranged a good marriage for Qin He, which shows how much Prince He cherishes Qin He. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Qin He is Prince He's ideal woman.

Qin He enjoyed the envious looks from the women. Just as she was feeling a little smug, she ate some melon and continued to summon rain. Suddenly, Qin He felt overwhelmed and her head started spinning.

After holding on for half a day, Qin He went to rest.

"Why don't you go back and rest?" said the official in charge of planting from the Ministry of Revenue.

Qin He wanted to leave, but she was unwilling to give up. She didn't want to suffer, but she also wanted a good reputation.

The lord said, "Your spiritual palace has just recovered from its injury, so it is not advisable to expend a lot of spiritual energy to summon."

"But..." Qin He told the official in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and also told herself, "I'm blessed! I can bring benefits to the crops in the fields, and perhaps I can grow cabbages and radishes with spiritual energy." Upon hearing this, the official in charge of the Ministry of Revenue said nothing more. Cabbages and radishes with spiritual energy were ingredients that everyone longed for. Even if it was just half an acre of spiritual vegetables on more than ten acres of land, it would be fine.

Qin He worked hard for several days, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works finally managed to plant the cabbages and radishes.

Qin He returned to the Xue Prince's residence, her back aching from exhaustion. Princess Xue asked, "How's the farming going?"

"All the seeds have been planted." Qin He frowned. "We'll know how many spirit vegetable seedlings there are once they sprout. The wilderness is dry year-round, and the soil is too dry, which may affect germination."

Princess Xue was not worried: "If the spiritual vegetable seedlings are successfully grown, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will find a way to summon rainwater for irrigation."

The Emperor takes every spiritual vegetable seriously, fearing that there won't be many spiritual vegetables.

If Qinhe grows a magical vegetable...
Princess Xue was thrilled, and the entire Xue Prince's residence was filled with pride.

"Go and rest," Princess Xue said kindly.

Qin He returned to the prince's courtyard and fell asleep immediately. Since transmigrating, she had never suffered like this. Farming was too tiring, especially in the wild land, where the sun was scorching hot.

These days Qin Bi has been quite free, staying at home cooking bean pods, peanuts, and corn with Rong Yang. They just keep eating, and little Rong Chi, the little dumpling, also eats along with them.

The young prince Yan Xun ran over, his eyes red with envy.

After having a meal with the young prince, he went to see Prince Rong and asked, "May I stay at your house?"

Prince Rong chuckled and refused, "I cannot."

Eat his son's food, drink his son's water, and still want to stay permanently? Dream on! Just like the Emperor of Great Yan, he can't resist delicious food. Prince Rong knows that the Great Yan royal family is full of foodies.

The young prince: "..."

The young prince didn't want to leave, so Prince Rong gave the little dumpling to Qin Bi and personally escorted the young prince back to the palace.

Even after they returned to the palace, the young prince kept nagging along with the Crown Prince Rong: "Can't I stay at the Rong Prince's residence for a few more days? I really like Rong Yang and Rong Chi, I'll miss them if I don't see them."

The young prince of Rong was contemptuous and believed his lies; he probably just wanted the food from his family.

"Go find Qin He." Prince Rong pointed the way: "Qin He is lucky. She has benefited a lot from your royal family these past two years. If you want to eat good food, go to Prince Xue's mansion. Fu Bao has eaten a lot of food from the palace."

The young prince fell silent, having given up hope on Qin He and Fu Bao.

All the little prince ever saw was Fu Bao boasting about her good fortune, always coming to the palace to eat and take things. He never saw Fu Bao bring anything into the palace to give to the princes, so he had no hope for Fu Bao at all.

As for Qin He?

Born out of wedlock to the Marquis's family, the young prince didn't think Qin He was blessed.

Fu Bao at least swallowed two children born from auspicious clouds. As for Qin He, all that's said is that she's blessed. Oh, the little prince remembers now, a concubine's daughter who was able to marry into the Xue Prince's mansion, she is indeed somewhat blessed.

Upon entering the palace and meeting the Emperor of Great Yan, the Crown Prince Rong was still there. The Emperor of Great Yan gave the young prince a meaningful look, asking, "What did you bring back?"
The little prince secretly shrugged, taking nothing. He hadn't even eaten his fill, just had a taste of the freshness. The boiled beans, boiled peanuts, and boiled corn were really delicious, as were the jams.

While Rong Yang was eating, the little prince fawned over his younger brother. Rong Yang gave him a bite, and it tasted incredibly delicious.

The Emperor of Great Yan said with a stern face: "Minister Rong, you have been at home for quite some time. It is time for you to come to court and share my burdens. It is also not good for Rong Chi to stay at home all the time. I will bring him to court with me another day."
