Rong Yang was waiting for Qin Bi when Qin Lang ran back.

“Harvesting spirit vegetables is a bountiful harvest, which will bring good fortune to the children,” said Prince Rong. “If it’s warmer at noon, bring Rong Chi over.”

Qin Bi nodded, and Prince Rong spoke to her in a very ordinary manner.

Qin Bi couldn't help but ask, "Did you know I was going to call my second brother and Qin Lang over?"

Prince Rong chuckled softly, glanced at Qin Lang who was also listening, and replied to Qin Bi, "That boy Qin Lang likes to follow you. He always invites you, even if you don't invite anyone else. I didn't bring him this morning because I hoped he and Qin Xun would come with you."

A blessed person needs the protection of their family to live a long life.

Qin Bi's lifespan was damaged but has been restored, but we cannot be careless. Prince Rong rarely mentions it, but he cares most about Qin Bi's lifespan and has thought of everything.

Qin Lang's eyes lit up; the Crown Prince Rong really cared about his sister.

Qin Lang was genuinely happy and stopped calling him Prince Rong, instead addressing him as "Brother-in-law".

Prince Rong gave a low "hmm" and said with a smile, "Go and harvest the spirit vegetables. With your sister and your two nephews around, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits." He then instructed, "Keep an eye on Rong Yang."

"Okay." Qin Lang called to Rong Yang and left.

The young prince followed, going wherever Rong Yang went.

Logically, Qin Bi should have stayed with Prince Rong and not had to lift a finger; she could have just watched everyone harvest the spiritual vegetables.

Qin Bi looked at Prince Rong and said, "I want to go too."

Prince Rong was taken aback, then nodded after a moment: "Go."

Qin Bi followed Qin Lang and Rong Yang with a smile. The little prince turned around and looked at her curiously. Why wasn't the Crown Princess with Prince Rong? Standing next to Prince Rong, she looked so gentle, elegant and noble.

"Sister," Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Rong is so good to you."

As a noble family, there are many rules, but Prince Rong did not ask Qin Bi to follow the rules for the Crown Princess.

Qin Bi was also happy and smiled. Rong Yang spoke up for Rong Shizi. The little boy looked up and said, "Father has always been very good to Mother. Others can't be mean to their younger brother, but Mother can be mean to him."

Little Rong Chi is the apple of Rong Shizi's eye, and no one can say a harsh word about her. Qin Lang knows this, otherwise why can Rong Yang go to the Marquis's mansion at any time, but everyone is careful when Rong Chi goes?

Sigh, I'm worried I won't be able to take good care of the child and will be blamed by Prince Rong.

No one could say anything yet. The Crown Prince Rong had been widowed and childless, so he had finally had a child, which naturally made him cherish him like a precious jewel. The people of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion understood.

Not to mention the people of Qin Yanhou's mansion, even the civil and military officials in the imperial court all understand.

Qin Lang felt relieved. With his sister's position as the Crown Prince's consort secure, Rong Yang and Rong Chi's positions as Crown Princes were unshakeable, and the Qin Yan Marquis's family, as a supporting family, could also have a bright future.

In this way, it shouldn't be a problem for the Marquis's family to advance further among all the cultivation families.

The Minister of War arrived first, followed by the scholars who had helped with the farming, and the cultivators. Everyone stepped forward to ask if they sold spiritual vegetables and what the prices were.

Some scholars came from ordinary families and didn't have many demon beast crystals, nor could they afford to buy them with silver.

A young scholar asked Rong Yang, "Young Master, can one buy a spirit vegetable with a low-level demon beast crystal?"

Rong Yang hesitated and turned to look at Qin Bi.

Qin Bi looked at the scholar's simple yet not shabby clothes, and his sunny and warm demeanor. After a moment's thought, she said, "One low-level orchid-grade demon beast crystal can buy a cabbage leaf, a sprig of coriander, or even a green radish leaf. That's all you can buy."

The scholar turned to his classmates and discussed it; they could afford it.

Scholars usually go to clear land to earn some monster beast crystals. If they are diligent, they can make some gains, so they are not so poor that they can't even produce a single monster beast crystal. Other rogue cultivators are not necessarily much richer than scholars.

The path of cultivating immortality is extremely resource-intensive.

The Minister of War was dumbfounded: "They're selling vegetable leaves one by one now?" The young master Su, who had come along, was also dumbfounded. He turned to the second young master Su and said, "Only green radishes are considered spiritual vegetables. What? You're selling radish greens one by one?"

Second Young Master Su: "......??????"

Young Master Su should ask around; this isn't how things are sold.

"A single radish green costs a demon beast crystal?" Young Master Su asked. After asking, he couldn't help but say, "Princess Consort Rong, even immortal sects don't sell spiritual vegetables like this. Radish greens are given away for free."

Qin Bi immediately ordered, "Guard Yan, cut off the radish greens and sell them one radish green at a time. The Rongwang Mansion has lost its foundation, so there's no such thing as giving them away for free."

Guard Yan was taken aback: "Alright."

Guard Yan instructed his men to cut off the radish greens, or even pluck them off, but to be careful not to let them turn into rotten vegetable leaves. Didn't you hear what the Crown Princess said? These are worth a demon beast crystal.

Good heavens, this is more expensive than the spiritual vegetables sold by the immortal sects.

Second Young Master Su: "..."

Prince Su: "..."

Minister of War: "......??????"

The Minister of War said in a low voice, "It would be better not to ask at all."

The young prince was dumbfounded. Good heavens, he shouldn't have gone back to the palace yesterday. He should have stayed at the Rong Prince's residence, eating and drinking there. Even a single leaf of the Rong Prince's spiritual vegetables costs demon beast crystals.

"Should we buy it?" they discussed.

There's no need for scholars to discuss this; buying vegetable leaves will suffice, since scholars are never well-off anyway.

"Go ahead and buy it, it's not like you have to buy radish greens."

"Okay, let's discuss it and see if we can buy a cabbage together."

No need to think about it, it won't work. They're selling it one leaf at a time, one leaf for one low-level orchid-grade demon beast crystal. Lin Yao told people this, but he didn't understand what the Crown Princess meant.

Selling vegetable leaves? Noble families wouldn't spend these demonic beast crystals just to eat vegetable leaves.

Even celery won't work; who likes to eat vegetable leaves?

The Minister of War went to observe from the sidelines.

When scholars buy cabbage, they usually only buy one leaf.

A scholar watched as the cabbage leaves were peeled off one by one, and he got excited, thinking he could wait a little longer to buy the cabbage heart. But he was wrong; they didn't sell cabbage hearts.

Qin Bi said to Rong Yang, "I'll save the heart of the cabbage for you to eat."

Rong Yang was overjoyed, ran over, and took away the heart of the cabbage.

The young scholar: "..."

Did the cabbage heart run away?
The Minister of War felt that something was wrong. Nobody is stupid. It's understandable to use monster crystals to buy cabbage leaves, but to use monster crystals to buy radish greens is ridiculous.

Are you shrewd, or are others stupid?

The Minister of War called the young prince over and whispered, "Go and ask Princess Rong why she's still selling monster crystals for radish greens. Who eats radish greens?"

The young prince was also quite puzzled. He nodded and ran off to find Qin Bi.

"The Crown Princess," the young prince said.

Qin Bi turned her head, and the little prince whispered, "Who would eat those rotten radish leaves? Nobody buys them." (End of Chapter)
