Chapter 258 Prince Jin and his wife

Debao was so excited that he walked with a breeze.

"What are you so happy about?" Xia Zhengqi asked.

"Your Majesty, Queen, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is back! Prince Jin is back!" Debao's voice was trembling with excitement.

"You mean Prince Jin?" Xia Zhengqi also stood up excitedly.

The Queen was surprised and said, "I haven't heard from him for more than a year, and I thought he... Now he's back! It's really great!"

[Prince Jin?] Xia Miaoyuan muttered in her heart.

[Oh, I remember. He's the one who is infertile.]

[Last time he said he was going to travel around the world, and this time he was gone for more than two years.]

[I wonder where he went and what he brought back that Da Xia doesn't have.]

[Oh, it's so exciting just thinking about it! 】

Xia Miaoyuan thought to herself and couldn't help jumping up and down: "Father, Mother, let's go and see!"

The emperor and empress were in the same mood. Xia Zhengqi picked up Xia Miaoyuan and went to the Qianqing Palace.

When the emperor, empress and their family of three arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Prince Jin and his wife had been waiting for a while.

As soon as they met, the couple's eyes were red, and

they saluted the emperor and empress in unison. "Prince Jin, Princess Jin, please stand up!" Xia Zhengqi and the queen hurried forward to help the two of them up.

"It's been more than two years since we last met. Are Prince Jin and Princess Jin well?" The queen asked happily.

When her eyes fell on Princess Jin, the queen was shocked to see that Princess Jin's belly was already bulging.

Just now they were too excited and didn't notice the changes in Princess Jin's figure. The queen looked at her carefully and found out something.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The queen was so excited that she stuttered.

Princess Jin lowered her head shyly and said, "Yes, it's been five months."

"Ah! That's great! You finally have your own baby!" The queen clasped her hands excitedly.

Xia Zhengqi also patted Prince Jin's shoulders excitedly, "Okay, okay!"

[Ahhhhh! Princess Jin's aunt is pregnant? ] Xia Miaoyuan was also so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

[Could it be that Cheng really went to Jianan Country? Did she eat tomatoes? That's why she successfully got pregnant? 】

King Jin smiled and looked at Xia Miaoyuan, thinking in his heart, Miao'er, this is all thanks to you.

Xia Miaoyuan looked at the Princess Jin with a round belly, [If it is really the credit of tomatoes, I don't know how Uncle King Jin eats these tomatoes. After all, with the current technology, it is not possible to extract lycopene from tomatoes. 】

For a moment, Xia Miaoyuan's mind was filled with strange ideas.

However, in order to hide his expression, Xia Miaoyuan still stepped forward, blinking his big black eyes and asked: "Auntie, do you have a baby in your belly?"

At this time, the three adults, the Queen Mother and King Jin, heard Xia Miaoyuan's voice and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Princess Jin couldn't hear Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts, and the King of Jin had never told her about Xia Miaoyuan's specialness. Princess Jin looked at Xia Miaoyuan and said naturally, "Yes, Auntie will give birth to a little brother or sister in a few months."

Xia Miaoyuan jumped up and said softly, "Great, great! Another brother or sister is coming!"

Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries before sitting down and talking.

"Tell me quickly, what have you experienced in the past two years?" Xia Zhengqi's eyes were bright, and he seemed very interested.

The eyes of Prince Jin were red with excitement: "Brother, in the past two years, my wife and I have visited five countries and traveled tens of thousands of miles. It is really hard to describe the process in one word!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we have plenty of time to talk slowly!" Xia Zhengqi comforted him in a gentle voice.

It was time for dinner, so Xia Zhengqi ordered a family dinner to be set up in the Qianqing Palace. The emperor and the Prince Jin and his wife ate and chatted.

After the Prince Jin and his wife's good narration, everyone learned that they had really been to Jianan Country

. Because the Prince Jin learned through his heart that there was a vegetable called tomato in Jianan Country that could cure his infertility, so from the beginning, they drove a big ship across the ocean to find the legendary Jianan Country.

Of course, in front of Xia Miaoyuan, King Jin concealed the reason for going to Jianan.

King Jin said: "Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law, I have long yearned for the legendary Jianan, and want to see its charm and see with my own eyes whether Jianan is as magical as the legend says, so our first stop is Jianan."

After drifting on the sea for eight months and passing through two countries along the way, King Jin and his party arrived at Jianan smoothly.

Because they had the pass given by Xia Zhengqi, they were warmly entertained by the king in Jianan.

There, King Jin also saw the tomatoes that Xia Miaoyuan mentioned.

In Daxia at that time, tomatoes had never appeared, but in Jianan, tomatoes were extremely common vegetables, and the production was amazing.

In addition to tomatoes, King Jin also discovered high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes.

King Jin and his wife lived in Jianan for a while, enthusiastically imparted some advanced farming techniques of Daxia to the locals, and presented Jianan with some Daxia crop seeds.

They did not have crops like rice and sorghum there.

The king of Jianan got along very well with King Jin and his wife. When they left, the king enthusiastically selected high-quality seeds of their country's unique crops and presented them to King Jin.

After King Jin arrived in Jianan, he deliberately ate more tomatoes. Later, when they left Jianan, the king thought he particularly liked tomatoes and brought him a lot of them to eat on the road.

Later, when the King and his wife turned back, they passed through a small country. There happened to be a coup d'état there, so they were forced to stay in the inn.

This is why there was no news from them for more than a year.

Seeing that he couldn't go back for a while, the King of Jin simply reclaimed all the vacant land in the backyard of the inn and planted tomatoes.

The King of Jin ate tomatoes every day. Finally, one day, the Princess of Jin woke up in the morning and suddenly felt very nauseous. After that, she lost her appetite and felt tired.

She went to see a doctor and found out that she was pregnant.

However, in order to prevent Xia Miaoyuan from knowing that he could hear her voice, the King of Jin made up the story when he talked about eating tomatoes.

"When I was in Jianan, I heard from the locals that if men eat more tomatoes, it will be of great help to have children."

"I thought, it's better to believe it than not. In addition, tomatoes taste really good, so I eat tomatoes every day."

"I didn't expect that my beloved concubine was actually pregnant." King Jin said happily.

[Great, great! ] Xia Miaoyuan cheered in her heart.

[Tomatoes and several other crops are treasures! ]

[Not only are they delicious, but they are also high-yield. If they can be promoted on a large scale across the country, it will benefit the whole of Daxia. ]

[Especially corn and potatoes, which can be used as food to fill the stomach. Not only can they be eaten and fill the stomach, but they are also drought-resistant. ]

[If there is a drought year, rice and wheat will die, but corn and potatoes can barely survive. 】

【In the disaster year, the common people can survive by relying on corn and potatoes. 】

The emperor, the empress, the prince of Jin and the other two listened attentively to Xia Miaoyuan's voice and were all extremely shocked.

Xia Zhengqi secretly decided in his heart that he would immediately promote the planting of these foreign agricultural crops.

The conversation between the empress and the prince of Jin and his wife lasted until the time of lighting the lamps, but they had not finished talking.

Xia Miaoyuan was a little sleepy and had already yawned.

The queen suggested taking her back to bed first. The princess of Jin was a pregnant woman and it was not suitable for her to sleep too late. The queen let the princess of Jin sleep in the guest room of Kunning Palace.

Xia Zhengqi left the prince of Jin in the Qianqing Palace, and the two brothers talked by candlelight for almost the whole night, and only dozed off for a while in the second half of the night.

The next morning, King Jin followed Xia Zhengqi to the court.
