The wife travels through time and space to honor her husband: The heirless prince raises a child
Chapter 436 Not the Fate of a Powerful Minister's Wife
Qin Lang thought about it and realized that Prince He was indeed more biased towards Qin He.
After glancing at the child, Qin Lang decided not to bring up the matter.
Qin Lang helped Rong Yang tidy up. After a while, the child played on the table by the window. She opened the window and looked outside. There was a charcoal brazier in the room, so it wasn't cold. Rong Yang really liked the courtyard where her mother lived.
A guard came to report: "The young prince has woken up."
Rong Yang put on a child-sized monster-patterned cloak and went with Qin Lang to the main courtyard of the fourth house. In the bedroom, the little prince and Jiang Shi were busy putting little shoes on the baby, who was as cute as a porcelain doll.
Madam Lin exclaimed, "Not to mention, Qin Bi is beautiful, Prince Rong is handsome, and their two children are both good-looking."
He Shizi stopped mentioning it; it was too painful. He decided to assign Rong Yang to Rong Shizi instead.
The little dumpling is so pretty, and she even said, "I'm handsome."
“That’s right.” Madam Jiang couldn’t help but laugh and praised him: “Our Rong Chi is the most handsome. None of your cousins are as handsome as you. Rong Chi is the most handsome. Look at his face, he’s so handsome.”
Jiang's heartfelt praise made the little dumpling incredibly happy, her face beaming with a smile.
The children's laughter put everyone in a good mood.
When the child woke up and it was time to eat, He Shizi's guards brought several eggs from the spirit plant chickens in the fourth courtyard. Jiang Shi took the eggs and went to the kitchen.
In the main hall, Madam He was holding the little baby. Rong Yang was discussing with his maternal grandfather and uncles how to build the courtyard. The little prince was not involved and was playing with the little baby next to Madam He.
Lin went to the kitchen, while Jiang watched the cook clean the eggs from the spirit plant chicken.
"Do you have any Fu Bao?" Lin asked.
Jiang shook her head: "I don't know, but given He Shizi's favoritism towards Qin He, there should be some."
Lin peeked into the small porcelain bowl and looked at the eggs being washed. There were six eggs from the spirit plant chickens, plus the eggs from the little prince and Qin He's child, enough for one steamed egg for each of them.
Lin went to the living room to find Rong Yang: "Rong Yang, how do we steam the eggs from the six spirit plant chickens? How many people are eating them?"
“Usually it’s my younger brother and me, and the little prince, who each gets two eggs.” Rong Yang turned her head and called over the guard beside her: “Did my father say who gets the eggs from the spirit plant chicken?”
The guard's lips twitched. The young master could make the decision himself, why did he need to ask him?
"It's for His Highness the Young Prince and the two young princes," the guard said. "The young prince didn't specifically instruct that there be any for others. He prepared it for the young princes when we set off for the Marquis of Qin Yan's residence."
The child cultivates immortality and eats only spiritual food. The staple food is steamed eggs with spiritual plant chicken, and he can eat whatever he wants on the rest. Prince Rong cherishes his child like a treasure, and Prince He also loves his child.
In the living room, everyone understood that Fu Bao and her brother were not among them.
Madam He originally wanted to say a few sarcastic remarks to He Shizi, since he was her nephew and had mistreated her illegitimate daughter in the past. Today, he had come to see his aunt for the sake of the child.
He glanced at Rong Yang and thought, "Never mind, we'll talk about it another time."
He didn't say anything, but Lin went to the kitchen and said to Jiang, "There are only steamed eggs for Rong Yang and a few others."
"No one for Fu Bao?" Jiang asked in surprise. "The ones meant for Fu Bao wouldn't be sent to our fourth branch anyway, who would we be annoyed by?" Lin said in a low voice, "I don't know what they were thinking this time, they didn't even include Fu Bao."
Thinking about how He Shizi had taken care of Qin He and the second wife over the years, always favoring the second wife, Lin felt resentful. However, she couldn't bring up Rong Yang's situation, lest the child mind.
Jiang instructed the cook to steam eggs, then walked to the side and whispered to Lin, "Today, it seems that Prince He is no longer concerned about Fu Bao, but is only trying to compensate Rong Yang and even raising Rong Chi."
“This is nothing.” Madam Lin didn’t believe it: “Just look at how many years of feelings He Shizi has had for Qin He. He can’t just let it go like that. He might soften his heart at any time.”
Jiang nodded, agreeing that it would be best to keep a respectful distance from the second wife's family.
The fourth branch of the family still needs to think twice about the people that Prince He is protecting. Everyone knows the power of a powerful minister's heir. The second, fifth, and first branches of the family may think that Prince He is gentle and kind, but the fourth branch knows very well how cold and indifferent he is.
Qin Bi's first engagement to the Duke of Yan's family was without Qin He. Both families were happy, and the engagement was about to be finalized when Prince He chose Qin He, so the engagement was called off, and Qin Bi left the capital.
In the following engagements, the fourth branch of the family was not very willing. After being rejected once, who could calmly agree to an engagement with the Duke of Yan's mansion? However, the power of the Duke of Yan's mansion was something that even Madam He was powerless to resist.
Lin felt unhappy just thinking about it. She flicked her handkerchief and was about to speak when she worried that there were too many people watching. She leaned closer to Jiang and said, "I don't know anything about Qin He. In short, apart from the first marriage proposal, the subsequent proposals were all made by the Duchess of Yan. It wasn't that Qin Bi was eager to marry. Qin He almost fought tooth and nail to marry into the Duke of Yan's mansion. Unfortunately, she didn't have the fate of being the wife of a powerful minister's son."
"But Prince He is protecting Qin He," said Madam Jiang.
Well, Madam Lin was heartbroken. It was because back then, Qin He's maid pointed a sword at Qin Bi and demanded an apology from her. Because of this, Qin Bi went to Qin Di and his wife as soon as she returned from the Duke of Yan's mansion and resolutely wanted to break off the engagement.
Unable to withdraw, Qin Bi left the capital and stayed away for several years.
Even though Qin He's maid was so arrogant, Prince He didn't punish anyone around Qin He. So, even if Prince He doted on his child even more today, no one really believed that he would abandon Qin He and her child.
After thinking for a moment, Madam Lin called Qin Lang out from the living room.
Qin Lang stepped out of the living room: "Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"
Madam Lin whispered, "Send a few of the younger ones to the front yard and tell them that Rong Yang has spiritual plants, chickens, and eggs to eat."
Qin Lang understood Lin Shi's meaning immediately. He pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need. My sister doesn't care about such things. Let's not make things worse. Let nature take its course. Prince Rong won't let Rong Yang suffer."
Lin ignored it and waited for the eggs from the spirit plant chicken to be steamed before feeding the little prince to the baby.
The Crown Prince's wife sent someone to the fourth courtyard to ask if the child had woken up. Then, the Crown Prince's servant came over. Thus, the Crown Prince and his wife both knew about the spiritual food the child had been eating.
Qin Shizi's expression remained unchanged, but when Shizi's wife looked at Fubao among the children, she felt that this child's good fortune was likely to be taken away from him. It was obvious that Shizi He cared more about his own child today.
I wonder how many spirit plant chicken eggs Prince He brought, there weren't any for Fu Bao and her brother.
The adults didn't mention it, but some children were talking about the spirit food. Fu Bao overheard this and wasn't very happy. After everyone had left, Prince He picked up the child and prepared to return to the Duke of Yan's mansion.
Fu Bao also wanted to go, but Prince He coldly glanced at Prince Xue: "Xue Qing, can't you really afford to raise a child?"
These words were harsh, and Prince Xue was also angered. He shouted, "Fu Bao, come and come home with me."
Those who came to see Qin Yanhou off at the manor exchanged bewildered glances. Qin Jue's face was grim, and Qin Yuan stamped her foot in anger. Poor Fu Bao! (End of Chapter)
