When the palace received the good news from Prince Jin, Xia Zhengqi was having dinner in Kunning Palace.
When Xia Zhengqi heard the good news, he was so happy that he didn't even bother to eat.
"Oh, that's really great!"
"It must be very difficult to grow these things on our land in Daxia."
Xia Miaoyuan excitedly put down his chopsticks, his eyes full of longing: "I really want to taste what the Tenth Uncle grows!"
The queen also smiled happily: "It's good that it was successfully grown!"
Seeing everyone so excited, Kezun was also happy, although she didn't quite understand what was planted in the nursery garden.
After Xia Zhengqi calmed down, he said to the Queen, "Ruoyu, the Prince of Jin said that he will personally bring those treasures to court tomorrow. He will show these achievements to all the civil and military officials in the court."
The Queen smiled and said, "That's great!"
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Father, I want to go to court with you tomorrow!"
"I want to see with my own eyes the scene of the entire court seeing those achievements. It must be a sensation and shocking!"
Xia Zhengqi responded cheerfully: "Okay!"
The Queen scolded, "Just spoil her! Now all the neighboring countries know that the Emperor of Daxia likes to bring his daughter to court."
There was laughter in the hall.
The next morning, Xia Miaoyuan got up on her own without waiting for Nanny Li to call her.
Xia Zhengqi tidied himself up, carried his daughter in his arms, and rode in a sedan chair all the way to the Golden Palace.
He then carried his daughter in his arms and walked into the hall with great dignity.
All the civil and military officials were secretly surprised when they saw Xia Zhengqi's momentum and spirit.
I thought to myself, what medicine did the emperor take today, or was he given an injection of chicken blood?
After all the ministers cheered loudly, Xia Zhengqi said with a smile: "My dear ministers, today, I have a big surprise for you!"
After saying that, Xia Zhengqi gave Debao a wink.
Debao understood what he meant and immediately shouted, "Pray for the King of Jin to enter the palace!"
The eyes of all civil and military officials were focused on the entrance of the hall.
Before long, there were the sounds of powerful footsteps, and the King of Jin strode into the hall, looking energetic and radiant, as if he were in high spirits as if he were celebrating a great event.
Behind Prince Jin, there were ten young eunuchs.
Ten young eunuchs, in groups of two, carried a bamboo basket and walked neatly into the hall.
Those bamboo baskets were covered with red silk cloth.
"Long live the emperor!" Prince Jin walked to the front of the hall and saluted Xia Zhengqi respectfully.
[Hahaha! The Tenth Prince looks super handsome today!]
[Wait a minute, the time for the Tenth Emperor's fame to spread far and wide is coming! ]
[Oh, I'm looking forward to it!] Xia Miaoyuan excitedly clenched his two chubby fists and raised them in front of his chest, with a silly grin on his face.
"Stand up quickly!" Xia Zhengqi waved at King Jin with a smile.
"My dear ministers, after months of hard work, King Jin has finally succeeded in growing exotic crops!"
"Today, he brought these achievements to the main hall for you to see."
"These are the first ones that grew on my land in Daxia."
At this point, Xia Zhengqi looked at King Jin and said, "Come on, King Jin, you introduce him to everyone in person."
At this time, ten young eunuchs had placed the bamboo basket in the center of the hall.
The King of Jin walked over to the bamboo basket, opened the red silk cloth with his own hands, and took out a big red tomato from inside. He held it up and showed it to everyone, "Everyone, this is a foreign tomato."
"The little king brought it back from Jianan Country."
“Local people treat it as a vegetable as well as a fruit.”
"In other words, this tomato can be eaten raw or cooked."
"This tomato is sweet and sour, juicy, and refreshing. It tastes very delicious."
[Ahhh! From now on, I can eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes without worry, la la la!]
【Bibimbap is amazing! 】
[You can also ask Aunt Yin to develop tomato concentrate pills for men with fertility problems.]
At this moment, Xia Miaoyuan's heart was in turmoil and he was extremely excited.
She grinned and looked down, only to find something wrong.
[Eh? That's not right!]
Is there something wrong with the officials' reaction?
[Tomatoes are something Daxia has never seen before, and the King of Jin even introduced them in such an attractive way.]
[Shouldn't everyone react more strongly when they see a tomato?]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at all the civil and military officials, only to see them looking at the tomato in Prince Jin's hand, and some of them looking at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
Xia Zhengqi also noticed the abnormality of the officials, and was confused for a moment.
After introducing the tomatoes, the King of Jin picked up a corn with a long yellow ear, peeled the husk with his own hands, and introduced it, "This is called corn!"
"In their local area, corn is considered a grain and can be eaten as a meal."
"This thing, when newly grown, can be cooked and eaten directly. It has a natural fragrance and sweetness, and is very delicious."
"Or, you can take it off and place it in a ventilated and dry place to dry."
"After drying, rub off the corn kernels. You can grind them into powder and make them into pasta."
"This corn is very easy to grow and has a good yield. If it is widely planted, it can fill the stomachs of many people!"
At this time, the joy in the hearts of Xia Zhengqi and his daughter Xia Miaoyuan had been affected by the strange reactions of the civil and military officials.
The father and daughter had no time to listen to Prince Jin's introduction. Their eyes were fixed on the officials, carefully observing their reactions.
Although the officials reacted indifferently when tomatoes were introduced just now, now that corn has been introduced, it is a grain with a very high yield and can truly solve the problem of food and clothing for the poor.
However, the officials' reactions remained rather indifferent.
Most of the officials had strange expressions on their faces, and only a few of them grinned as they watched Prince Jin introduce himself.
But it was obvious that their smiles were not sincere, they were just fake smiles.
