Chapter 188 Blessing
Inside the Rong King's residence, the Rong heir immediately covered his youngest son with a small blanket.

Lin Yao, the chief strategist, and others came out of the study and into the courtyard. Lin Yao was pleasantly surprised and looked at Qin Bi, who was summoning rain, and said, "Princess Consort, why don't we send this rain to the farmland?"

Qin Lang nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it's good to go down to the farmland."

The fertile lands of the Rong King's fiefdom, the farmland of the Qin Yan Marquis's estate—it doesn't matter where you go.

The dark clouds were coming in fiercely, it was a real shame they didn't descend on the mansions and streets.

Qin Bi ignored him. The guards returned from outside and quickly reported to Prince Rong the urgency of the crowd on the street. It was hot in the summer, and a rain would solve the problem of water shortage and also cool them down.

Qin He led Fu Bao out of the palace and stood facing the people of Dayan on the street, saying, "It must be Fu Bao's good fortune that brought this rain. It's time for a heavy rain to fall, so that those who laugh at the First-Rank Little Princess can see what good fortune looks like."

The children were shouting in the street, "It's going to rain! It's going to rain!"

The people of Da Yan, young and old, looked to the sky with longing eyes, hoping for rain: "If the young princess could bring rain, that would be wonderful."

Qin He said firmly, her back straight: "Of course."

Fu Bao also said, "I am the luckiest."

Inside the Xue Prince's residence, Princess Xue heard a servant report what Qin He had said outside the residence with Fu Bao. She nodded approvingly, thinking that Fu Bao's good fortune was being displayed at this time, which could bring good luck to the Prince's residence.

In places inhabited by prominent families, the news of Fu Bao's good fortune attracting rain will soon spread.

Several prominent neighboring families came out, watching with bated breath.

Qin He was excited. As long as these prestigious families saw the rain being brought, Fu Bao's reputation for good fortune would be beyond doubt. Qin He said, "Fu Bao, quickly take out the summoning artifact."

Prince Xue came out of the mansion to help his wife and daughter. He took out a summoning artifact of slightly higher grade. In the current situation of clouds in the sky, a low-grade summoning artifact would only reduce the amount of rain.

Fu Bao received the summoning artifact and immediately began the summoning.

More and more people from Dayan gathered, waiting for Fu Bao's blessings to bring down the rain.

Inside the Rong King's mansion, Qin Bi ignored her strategist's advice and continued to control the summoning.

Lin Yao, the chief strategist, was surprised. The others were also puzzled as to why the Crown Princess did not heed the strategist's advice. In terms of strategic planning, the strategist was always clearer about the pros and cons.

Even so, the chief strategist Lin Yao continued to advise: "Princess Consort, for the sake of the two young princes, if you can summon rain, please do so."

Qin Bi can summon rain, which is beneficial to the young prince's reputation.

Prince Rong held his youngest son tightly, protecting him, but said nothing. Rong Yang was old enough that he wasn't afraid of the dark clouds. Qin Lang followed closely behind the little dumpling, and Qin Bi stopped when the time was right.

The crowd was puzzled; the summoning could not be interrupted, or it would stop raining.

Even if it rains, it will only be a short-lived shower.

Everyone was hoping for rain. Logically, if they could summon rain, no one would stop. In the courtyard of the Prince of Rong's mansion, everyone looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds rolling in, showing no sign of dissipating.

"Could this be rain that was summoned?" Lin Yao asked in surprise.

After waiting a while longer, the clouds still hadn't dispersed, and the aide exclaimed excitedly, "It's really going to rain!"

Everyone got excited. The rain they summoned was very different from real rain. Real rain covers a wide area, and judging from the cloud cover, it looked like a heavy downpour was about to happen.

Summer downpours are something everyone is hoping for.

Qin Bi glanced at everyone, put away her summoning artifact, and walked to Prince Rong's side. Prince Rong, thinking of his beloved wife and children, also valued this rain to some extent. "Go check the area covered by the dark clouds," Prince Rong said.

Qin Bi peeked at the little baby in Rong Shizi's arms. The guards obeyed and left. Rong Yang, with her little head tilted up, came over with Qin Lang. Qin Bi bent down and picked up Rong Yang.

Before the guards returned, after half a cup of tea, the chief strategist Lin Yao stared blankly at the clouds that were gradually revealing light. Then, the excitement on everyone's faces slowly froze.

The clouds came and went, but the rain stopped.

Qin Bi said, "We've been hoping for rain for ages, but it's not raining."

Everyone had strange expressions, on the verge of tears. How could this be? Last time, the dark clouds rolled in just the same way, looking like it was going to rain heavily, but in the end, it only drizzled. What a fool they were!

The staff refused to believe it, stubbornly insisting, "It looks like it's about to rain."

Qin Bi retorted, "I won't."

Everyone: “·······”

The Rongwang Mansion was fine, but the Xuewang Mansion was quite lively. Qin He bragged to Fu Bao that Fu Bao had used a pretty good summoning artifact to summon, but it turned out to be worse than not summoning at all, as the dark clouds dispersed and stopped falling.

Everyone looked at Qin He and Fu Bao with suspicion. Qin He was embarrassed and at a loss for what to do. She pulled Fu Bao and slunk back to the mansion.

Prince Xue chuckled and smoothed things over, reassuring everyone: "The child is young, so the summoning artifact wasn't very effective this time."

After saying that, he took off running.

Prince Xue wasn't stupid. He knew whether Fu Bao had the ability to summon heavy rain. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to make Fu Bao famous, but he didn't expect that the heavy rain would stop.

You've messed up; you'd better leave quickly, or you'll be unable to explain yourself.

On the streets, the people of Da Yan watched the clouds disperse. It would be a lie to say they weren't disappointed. The children ran off happily, and the old men sighed and continued to look up at the sky, unwilling to give up.

"This rain is really deceiving people." Someone smiled bitterly and shook their head helplessly.

The young men from prominent families were filled with worry: "It looks like we'll have to summon the rain ourselves."

"Let's go!" his companion said. "Let's go to Spirit Plant Street and check out the summoning artifacts."

The young masters from various mansions gave up hope of rain and headed to Spirit Plant Street. Spirit Plant Street had shops selling summoning artifacts from the immortal sects. The summoning artifacts with rain-themed designs were quite expensive, but they couldn't refuse to buy them.

Inside the Rong King's mansion, the advisors could only consider summoning rain. If it didn't rain, the fertile fields on the king's fiefdom would suffer. Asking the immortals for help was imperative, but it was clearly going to rain just now!

Prince Rong lowered his eyes, holding his youngest son, and asked Qin Bi, "Were you summoning rain just now?"

Qin Bi nodded: "Yes, Rong Yang wants to plant something in the yard."

"Sister." Qin Lang was unwilling to give up on this rain, and had all sorts of thoughts in his mind. He leaned closer and said, "Try summoning again. Maybe you've attracted the dark clouds."

"You think it won't work?" Qin Bi glanced at Qin Lang, unmoved. "The Xue Prince's Mansion has a lucky baby who was born after swallowing two auspicious clouds. Maybe Qin He thinks it was the lucky baby's good fortune that brought the rain."

Qin Lang didn't care what Qin He thought, and he said, "Try again."

Qin Lang just wanted to verify what Qin Bi was summoning. His advisors and guards were also looking in this direction. A perfectly good heavy rain had been ruined, and they were all unwilling to accept it.

Who could stand playing like this?

Qin Bi, holding Rong Yang, said casually, "It's raining in the Rong King's mansion, why should I care what others do?"
