The two chatted for a while before packing up and leaving the house. By this time, it was already getting dark.

At this time of day on normal days, Su Qinchao would have been waiting for dinner at home. He hurried to the livestock storage to get his horse, and after passing the city gate, he drove the horse home.

Sure enough, as soon as I got home, I found that the dishes had just been served. I hurriedly sent Guanqi to the kitchen to eat, and then I picked up Xiao Tangyuan and sat down.

Su Qinchao held little Tangyuan on his lap and teased her for a while before placing her on a specially made dining chair, which he had made himself out of pine wood, imitating the style of the children's dining chairs in his previous life.

"Little Tangyuan, what do you want to eat today? Daddy will pick it up for you." In his previous life, he had never raised a daughter, nor had he been a father. But in this life, he has one. Therefore, when getting along with little Tangyuan, Su Qinchao is extra patient.

"Daddy, I want some meat!" Little Tangyuan pointed at the plate of chicken legs on the table and patted the rice spoon with his little hands.

"Okay, Daddy will pick up a big chicken drumstick for Tangyuan!" He picked up a slightly larger chicken drumstick and put it on Tangyuan's plate, and also picked up a piece of radish sprouts with chopsticks:

"Little Tangyuan, do you want to eat some vegetables? If you eat them, you will grow taller!"

“No!” Little Tangyuan is a pure carnivore and absolutely refuses to eat vegetables.

"If you don't eat vegetables, you won't grow tall. Be careful, or Gao's brothers won't play with you!" Su Qinchao mentioned Gao Zhili's six-year-old son Gao Min.

Gao Min inherited the beauty of Gao Zhili and Xu, and was very handsome. Therefore, when little Tangyuan visited Gao's house last time, he was fascinated by Gao Min the first time he saw him.

"I'll eat it!" Seeing Su Qinchao mention Brother Min, Xiao Tangyuan hurriedly took the plate to get the radish sprouts.

Then he swallowed the chicken leg in small bites with a look of deep hatred, which made Su Qinchao and Yunniang laugh.

When everyone finally finished their meal, little Tangyuan was drowsy. Looking at little Tangyuan's appearance, Su Qinchao signaled to the wet nurse to take little Tangyuan downstairs to wash.

He supported Yunniang, whose body was getting heavier and heavier, back to the room. After he personally took a handkerchief and helped Yunniang wash up, he helped Yunniang lean against the head of the bed and read the storybook together.

To be honest, the vernacular books of the ancients are much more interesting than those of later generations. This book "Strange Stories of Previous Dynasties" which records strange people and events is a very good one.

The description of the story is almost flawless, every paragraph is carefully crafted, the story is full of ups and downs and thrills. The part I just read scared Yunniang so much that she hid in his arms.

"It's okay, they are all tricks played by living people!" Su Qinchao quickly read the rest of the plot before comforting Yunniang who was hiding in his arms, and gently explained to her the scary tricks in the plot.

By the time he finished speaking, Yunniang was already sleepy and drowsy. Seeing this, Su Qinchao hurriedly moved his body and adjusted his sleeping position to make Yunniang sleep more comfortably.

...

Another five months passed, and as the court's speculations about the imperial farm grew, the potatoes were about to be harvested.

The emperor no longer hid the secret, and on the day of the harvest, he took several trusted ministers to the nearest imperial farm to see it with their own eyes.

At this time, several important ministers such as the Shangshu Lord, the Zhongshu Sheng Ling, the Shangshu Ling, the Taifu and others were accompanying the emperor, looking at the potatoes that were constantly being dug out with expressions of surprise and joy.

Only half an acre of land was dug, and a small hill of potatoes was formed, which looked to weigh at least two thousand kilograms. The potato yield was so terrifying.

Everyone was very surprised. No wonder His Majesty and Princess Yucheng kept the news secret. With this thing, the great general will be at the top of all countries. The people will no longer be hungry. This is God's blessing on our dynasty.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt down in front of the emperor and shouted "Long live the emperor". Some ministers even got up and ran to the ground to dig with their own hands before the emperor called out.

Let’s not talk about how this matter will develop. Su Qinchao took a day off that day, so he didn’t know how big a deal this matter would become.

Because Yunniang had a feeling of heaviness last night, he planned to stay with Yunniang today to make up for the regret of missing her last time.

Fortunately, Yunniang gave birth quickly this time. It took only two hours from labor to birth, and the baby was a pink and tender chubby boy.

The midwife also said that after so many years of delivering babies, this was the first time a baby was born this white. Upon hearing this, Su's father and mother hurriedly gave her a reward.

Su Qinchao didn't find it strange, after all, his son in his previous life was born in the same way. But he still gave the midwife a reward, thanked her for her auspicious words, and asked her to take good care of Yunniang.

After the midwife had tidied up Yunniang, Su Qinchao took his younger son to the room. Seeing that Yunniang was still awake, he quickly handed the younger son to her arms.

"So handsome!" Yunniang looked at her little son in her arms. He was so pink and white that she loved him so much.

She smelled the chubby little hand and kissed the chubby little face. She stayed there for a long time before falling asleep holding the child.

Su Qinchao saw it all and loved it in his heart. This time when he accompanied her during the birthing, he saw Yunniang wailing in pain and felt heartbroken, fearing that Yunniang would not be able to survive.

Even in the past, when technology was so advanced, there were still women dying in bed while giving birth. What’s more, this was ancient times, and giving birth was a life-threatening situation!

He made up his mind not to let Yunniang suffer like this anymore. After all, he already had both a son and a daughter, which was enough.

After making up his mind, Su Qinchao secretly replaced the incense with incense pills mixed with a slight scent of musk after Yunniang recovered.

This pill only has a slight contraceptive effect and does not cause any harm to the body. He changes it by hand every day, but that is another story.

The news about the potatoes spread throughout the court on the second day after Yunniang gave birth.

Early in the morning, Lu Yong went to pick up Su Qinchao, and brought Lan Yi who had been guarding the imperial farm with him.

Before going to the palace, Lu Yong had handed a prepared speech to the two men and asked them to memorize it and then speak according to it when they entered the Taiji Hall.

After Su Qinchao took a careful look at it, he felt at ease and carried it on his back together with Lan Yi.

This statement completely concealed the true origins of the two people and only talked about how they met.

How did they accidentally discover that potatoes are edible and high-yielding? The story was so perfect that even the two of them believed it.
