Chapter 586 No amount of spiritual fruits is enough
The Minister of Works hurriedly ran out, followed by everyone else.
Each family had people waiting at the teleportation array. After a few coughs, they brushed off the dust and looked back at the teleportation array. What had been teleported back was sandalwood, along with branches and vines, and several baskets of low-grade spirit fruits.
"Which family sent it back?" someone asked.
People from all the families stared at the teleportation array, amazed at which family had reaped such a good harvest. The Minister of Works and the Vice Minister were extremely excited when they saw the trees that had been teleported back, as they would be perfect for making furniture.
"Where are the people from the Rongwang Mansion?" Qin Xun asked, standing on a pile of trees.
Only then did the various families realize, "It's from the Rong King's Mansion!"
The Rong King's men immediately rode to the Rong King's residence to report the news. Before long, the Rong King and the Rong Crown Prince arrived with two children, along with the Duke of Yan. There was no way around it; the little dumpling insisted on coming.
Upon hearing that something had been teleported back from their home, Rong Yang and Rong Chi insisted on coming over.
The young prince had no choice but to inform the Duke of Yan's mansion. The Duke of Yan and the young prince came along to take care of the child. When they arrived, people from various families were touching the trees and praising them highly.
Qin Xun stared at the several baskets of spirit fruits. He could look at the trees, but not the spirit fruits. These were edible, so what if someone took one and ate it? Qin Xun only needed to check the few baskets of spirit fruits he liked.
Upon seeing Rong Yang and Rong Chi, Qin Xun waved and said, "Rong Yang, Rong Chi, there are spirit fruits."
The little dumpling Rongchi flapped its wings and said, "Eat the spirit fruit."
The young prince walked over and asked, "What kind of spirit fruit?"
Qin Xun picked up a spiritual fruit from the basket: "Yellow Pear."
"Wow!" the little prince exclaimed in delight. "It smells so good, like pears!"
Rong Yang wouldn't let Duke Yan hold her anymore, and insisted on getting down. She took a yellow pear from the basket herself, took a bite, and savored the rich, fragrant pear flavor. Rong Yang held the pear and ate it, while the little dumpling cried out.
"I'll eat," the little dumpling exclaimed.
Qin Xun handed a yellow pear to the little dumpling Rong Chi, and the little prince also took one to eat.
Even the pear peel is sweet and delicious; kids love eating it.
The Crown Prince of Rong also gave the Rong Owl to the Duke of Yan, and went with the King of Rong to direct the guards to move the trees back to their mansions. Everyone in the mansions had eaten dinner, and the Dukes of Su and Cui both came to the Ministry of Works.
Who would have thought that before the various major cultivation families had even made any gains, the Rong King's Mansion had already sent back their items.
"Wasn't it the Crown Princess Rong who went to Rongwang Mansion to accumulate wealth?"
"Yes, it is the Crown Prince's wife."
"The Crown Prince's Consort collected trees on her very first day???"
The dukes and marquises of various prefectures stroked their beards in thought. There weren't many trees suitable for making furniture and building houses. Besides, there were also powerful families and sects of immortal cultivators. The Qin Yan Marquis's mansion was very weak.
"Found a good spot?"
"Hiss, we found something good. Can someone with lower cultivation level compete with someone with higher cultivation level to snatch it?"
"The Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion has just become a family of cultivators."
Having just become a cultivation family, most of the family members have low cultivation levels, with only Prince Qin and Qin Tan having decent cultivation. So, there's no reason why they wouldn't be robbed after finding a good place!
Stealing from someone else? That's even more impossible.
"Could it be that he's with that Princess Consort Xue, who has a perfect fortune level?"
"It's possible that I'll be with Princess Xue. My luck is off the charts."
"That's not surprising. No wonder the Rongwang Mansion collected the trees first, and these trees are mainly sandalwood."
Upon hearing this, King Rong was displeased. He knew that Qin Bi had some luck. Think about it, would someone without luck be destined to marry the son of a powerful minister? Qin He desperately wanted to marry into the Duke of Yan's mansion, but she almost lost her life.
Qin Bi married into the powerful minister's family with ease. The prince's curse of bringing misfortune to his wives was no obstacle to Qin Bi. However, the prince didn't cherish her, and Qin Bi divorced him immediately after the marriage. Rong Jun also proposed marriage, but his curse of bringing misfortune to his wives and leaving him childless didn't bother Qin Bi either. With such a fate, could she possibly benefit from Qin He's good fortune? Absolutely not. The Rong King didn't believe it. Besides, Qin Bi thoroughly disliked her cousin, Qin He.
King Rong deliberately asked Qin Xun, "Are you collecting things with Princess Xue?"
Qin Xun shook his head: "No, Qin He is with people from the Immortal Sect."
The Rong king was satisfied; he knew it would be so.
Others: "..."
Alright, everyone knows now. The Rong Prince's Mansion didn't benefit from the Xue Prince's Mansion's collection; they collected it themselves. They all guessed wrong, and now everyone's a bit confused. Is this all the maxed-out fortune value is?!
"When our Great Yan Emperor went to the small space of the demon beast realm, all the little spirit beasts ran to him."
“Not only do small spirit beasts run up to us, but spirit plants grow all over the ground.”
"Maximum luck value is no joke."
So, what's with this Princess Consort Xue's maxed-out fortune value? There's been no sign of it at all. Logically, being with people from the immortal sects should make her fortune value even higher.
The Minister of Works was also pleased. The Ministry of Revenue's teleportation array hadn't made any progress yet. The Minister of Works said to the Crown Prince Rong, "Crown Prince Rong, your Rong Royal Palace is amazing. You were the first to send something back."
Prince Rong chuckled: "The wealth that the Princess Consort has accumulated for the child is nothing special."
The Minister of Works was in a good mood and ordered the people of the Ministry of Works to help move things. It was late at night, and many people came to see the excitement. Even the children from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion came with their parents.
Rong Yang called to Qin Su, "Brother, come and eat the spirit fruit."
The little dumpling Rongchi also shouted, "Eat the spirit fruit!"
A dozen or so children walked over, and Rong Yang gave each of them a spirit fruit. Among them were Qin Xun's children. The little dumpling Rong Chi was holding a big yellow pear and busy gnawing on it, his little teeth were very sharp.
Young Master Cui was puzzled as to why Qin He had such a high level of good fortune.
No rush, it's only the first day. Maybe the storage bag can hold it all before teleportation.
At this time, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue were the busiest, with people from various prefectures arriving one after another to watch the excitement. Originally, no one planned to go to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue on the first day, and no one was going to send anything back.
Who knew I wouldn't be able to go to bed early?
Marquis Qin Yan and his wife also arrived. Prince Rong gave some trees to Marquis Qin Yan: "Qin Bi's courtyard needs to be renovated and expanded. Let's transport these trees to the Marquis's residence."
Qin Yanhou nodded: "Alright."
Some people from the Qin Yan Marquis's residence moved away, but they didn't get any spirit fruits. We'll talk about it when Qin Bi comes back. The Rong Prince won't give any spirit fruits to the Marquis's residence; he has two little ones at home, and no amount of spirit fruits will be enough for them.
The trees were moved to the Qin Yanhou residence, also to build a courtyard for Qin Bi.
The entire ministry was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Fu Bao followed Prince Xue and asked in confusion, "Aren't you from our Prince Xue's residence?"
"No," said Prince Xue, "your mother hasn't sent anything back yet."
“Mom has maxed out her luck,” Fu Bao emphasized.
Prince Xue: "..."
"I want to eat the spirit fruit," Fu Bao said, her mouth watering.
Xue Shizi is not Qin He, so he won't go over to ask for spirit fruits. Fu Bao pouted unhappily. She is Fu Bao, so she should be given all the good food. Why should Rong Yang and Rong Chi get to eat spirit fruits?
Fu Bao was about to go over when Xue Shizi called her back.
Everyone says Fu Bao has a sweet tooth, but Young Master Xue wouldn't let her ask for spirit fruits. (End of Chapter)
