Chapter 377 Prenatal Checkup Causes a Shock in the Capital

When Xiao Yingchun heard that it was going to be used to send to VIP customers, he thought of Tang Siqiong.

Chunxiao's customers are all women. Do they want the fruit grown with pure organic fertilizer?

After hearing Xiao Yingchun's idea, Tang Siqiong's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"

"Chunxiao Company can purchase from you and then give you the money in the form of payment for the goods..."

After the matter was settled, Xiao Yingchun asked Fu Chenan about the production.

Fu Chenan didn’t know, so he could only go back and ask the Ministry of Revenue.

Fruit trees were under the management of the Ministry of Revenue, Cui Chaoyong was mainly in charge of state-owned shops, and matters related to fruit and vegetable planting were handed over to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The head of the Ministry of Agriculture was initially worried that the fruit was too small and would be criticized by the Crown Prince. Who knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were actually very satisfied?

How can this be tolerated?

Work at full speed!

Pick the fruit first.

The head of the Ministry of Agriculture arranged for people to pick the eight-tenths ripe fruits and the fully ripe fruits and send them to the palace.

Fu Chenan took a look and thought it was enough to give as gifts to clients.

So Tang Siqiong helped, and the three parties signed a supply contract. Soon the fruits were packed in foam boxes and sent out one by one according to the addresses given by the customers.

As for sustainability?

No need to worry at all.

The Minister of Agriculture took the task assigned by the Crown Prince very seriously.

With the advanced fruit tree care methods in the video, plus abundant farmyard manure, the fruit trees are growing wonderfully!

——Although the fruits are not as good-looking as those from state-owned fruit shops, they taste very good.

He who is close to the water gets the moon first. After eating the fruits grown on the farm, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture was no longer willing to spend money to buy the expensive fruits from the state-owned fruit shop.

He quietly brought a basket home and told his wife: "Shh..."

"This fruit is the leftover from the tribute to the palace. It's a little smaller than the tribute fruit, but the taste is just as good."

"I'll bring back a basket. Just eat it quietly at home and don't tell anyone about it."

"If I get into trouble for this, you won't have a good life either."

The lady was silent as a cicada and nodded frequently.

When you eat, you can't help but think about your boss.

The head of the Ministry of Agriculture sent another basket to Cui Chaoyong, also saying it was "the leftovers from the tribute."

Cui Chaoyong was an old court official and was very familiar with these little tricks, so he turned a blind eye to them.

He nodded to show that he understood, and then turned around and gave it to his wife to eat.

He was not very interested in this ugly fruit.

But who would have known that within just one day, the lady asked where the fruit was bought.

"This fruit tastes really good—better than the one in the fruit shop in the capital."

"It's just that it's too ugly to be used for entertaining guests or giving favors."

"You don't have to be superstitious about eating at home."

The lady specifically told him this, and Cui Chaoyong was very surprised: "Is it really so good?"

Only then did he take the situation seriously and went to talk to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The head of the Ministry of Agriculture knew that this matter could not be concealed, and he had already asked his subordinates.

"The people down below said that these fruit trees are of different species, and the fruits they grow do taste different."

"We take good care of it, so it must be delicious..."

However, the seedlings were just planted this year, and there were only a few fruits on each tree, and most of them were removed.

"There aren't many, just enough for tribute. Let's try the rest..."

Cui Chaoyong saw an opportunity in it.

"I understand what you said. Just do your job well..."

"Well done. I will report this to the Crown Prince and ask for your commendation."

After sending the Minister of Agriculture away, Cui Chaoyong immediately went to the palace to report to the Crown Prince.

“…Can we plant this kind of fruit trees in large quantities next year?”

Fu Chenan waved his hand, indicating that there was no rush for the time being and they would wait until winter.

"The aristocratic families and the wealthy are most concerned with face."

"They just like expensive and shiny things, but taste comes second."

"The Western fruits sold in the state-owned fruit shops are of good quality and sell well, so there is no need to rush to get local fruits for now."

If you really want to do it, wait two or three years.

Cui Chaoyong thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the truth.

He knelt down and kowtowed sincerely: "Your Highness is thoughtful and far-sighted, I can't wait for anything to happen."

Fu Chenan waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Don't try that on me."

"If you can get the job done, I'll be happy. If you have nothing else to do, you can go down."

Cui Chaoyong left the palace with a little regret.

He hadn't even had time to fully display his flattering skills today before he was suppressed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Will this skill be of no use in the future?

This shouldn’t be the case…

Turning around, Fu Chenan shared Cui Chaoyong's suggestion with Xiao Yingchun.

Xiao Yingchun had no awareness at all that "the harem should not interfere in politics" and immediately talked about her own plan.

"If you want the fruit to look good and not be eaten by insects, there is actually a way."

"Put it in a bag."

Put the green fruits into a bag and take them out before picking. The surface of the fruits will be extra smooth.

By then, the only difference left will be the size.

Xiao Yingchun felt that this point could be completely ignored.

Of course, large fruits will continue to be available.

My aunt-in-law is very good at picking fruits. She picks very good fruits and they sell well in state-owned fruit shops.

The wealthy and powerful families all care about their reputation. Nowadays, if there are no Western fruits to liven up the scene when they hold flower viewing and gatherings, it would be considered not up to standard.

Fu Chenan was convinced and pulled the young lady into his arms, kissing her hard: "Madam, you are so nice..."

His tone changed.

Xiao Yingchun had been married to him for so long that she already knew what he was thinking, and immediately patted his arm.

"You have a prenatal checkup tomorrow, so don't do anything weird today."

"After the checkup tomorrow, ask the doctor first?"

Even though Fu Chenan was not happy, he had to hold it in and agreed reluctantly.

But then he suggested that Xiao Yingchun use her hands...

The next day, Tianwu Chao took a day off to bathe!

The Crown Prince who is the Regent has to accompany the Crown Princess to a prenatal checkup today and will not be available to attend court.

Of course, this reason cannot be told to the outside world. We only say that the prince caught a cold and needs to rest for a day, so he is taking a temporary rest today.

The ministers were discussing the matter privately.

The prince is only in his twenties, in good health. Does he need to rest just because he catches a cold?

Is it some serious illness?

The prince hasn't given birth to any children yet!

If something unexpected happens, Emperor Tianwu will definitely have to take a concubine and crown her empress as soon as possible...

The civil and military officials and aristocratic families who had been overthinking were instantly excited.

Fu Chenan had no idea that just by taking a day off to accompany his wife for a prenatal checkup, he had caused a secret shock in the capital.

At this moment, he was carrying his bag and following Xiao Yingchun to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

"…The child is developing very well, look at this…"

During the B-ultrasound, two children were sitting face to face, stretching their arms and legs and moving.

The doctor pointed at their arms and legs on the screen.

Fu Chenan watched with bated breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.

After the doctor finally finished speaking, Fu Chenan asked cautiously.

"Doctor, can you take a photo of this for us?"

"I want to keep a souvenir..."

The doctor was generous: "You can take a photo yourself."

Fu Chenan quickly took out his mobile phone, focused carefully, and took the photo.

After getting all the test results and going to see the doctor in charge, after the doctor confirmed that there was nothing wrong, Fu Chenan took the initiative to ask.

"Doctor, given my...wife's condition, can we have sex?"

The doctor took a look at Xiao Yingchun's big belly and was a little embarrassed: "She is carrying twins. Now her belly is so big. If we are not careful, she may give birth prematurely..."

"Why don't you wait a few more months..."

One sentence extinguished all Fu Chenan's enthusiasm.

Fu Chenan got into the car somewhat discouraged, and his mood was obviously low for a while, but fortunately he adjusted himself quickly and was chatting and laughing with Xiao Yingchun again.

Daxiong, who was sitting in the front, drove silently. Tang Siqiong had not followed him into the clinic just now. Now, seeing that Fu Chenan was obviously in a bad mood and Xiao Yingchun seemed to be unable to hold back his laughter, she felt curious like a cat's paw.

What exactly happened?

Why did Fu Chenan have this expression when he got in the car?
