Lady Liangyuan laughed twice, "Of course, it’s the first time the Royal Family has had twins, and they are the Crown Prince’s eldest son at that. The Emperor is overjoyed, and Lady Shen enjoys honor through her son."
Concubine Xu was beside herself with excitement, "Two sons, both an eldest and a second son. Others spend several years, but Lady Shen got them both at once. Your Highness, you are truly incredible."
Lady Liangyuan covered her mouth and giggled, "You’re right, both Your Highness and Lady Shen are remarkable."
Shen Chuwei watched the two go on about sons, and she interjected, "But what if it’s a daughter?"
Concubine Xu spat "ptui, ptui, ptui!" three times and asserted in all seriousness, "This baby must be a son. A daughter can come later."
Lady Liangyuan also nodded in agreement, "Concubine Xu makes sense. Having a son first is best. It draws attention and shuts those people up. Otherwise, if you have a daughter, they’ll gossip about you again, saying what’s the use of being able to give birth if you only bear daughters?"
Concubine Xu nodded vigorously, "That’s exactly what I mean. My mother also said that for a woman to secure her position, having a son is more important. It’s alright if daughters come later."
Shen Chuwei was almost brainwashed by the two in front of her, feeling that having a son or a daughter is all the same since she would be the one giving birth anyway.
"If lucky, it might be boy and girl twins."
Lady Liangyuan’s eyes widened, "Boy and girl twins? Really?"
Concubine Xu believed it to be true, "It must be real, Lady Shen never deceives us."
Concubine Xu said, "If it’s boy and girl twins, wouldn’t the Emperor be so happy that he couldn’t sleep for three days and nights?"
Shen Chuwei looked surprised, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Lady Liangyuan said, "Concubine Xu is not exaggerating. Boy and girl twins are a sign of heavenly fortune, a rarity in a century."
Shen Chuwei, seeing their utter seriousness, could only shatter their illusions, "I was just saying, the chance of boy and girl twins is minuscule, like winning the top prize in a lottery."
Concubine Xu was unfazed, "Then let’s hope that top prize hits you on the head."
Shen Chuwei remembered the corn still steaming in the pot, "The corn I planted is ready, try some."
Concubine Xu perked up at the mention, "Corn? What kind of food is that?"
Lady Liangyuan also looked at Shen Chuwei with curiosity.
Shen Chuwei smiled mysteriously and instructed, "Chun Xi, bring up the corn."
Soon after, Chun Xi brought the corn, which had been cooled with cold water and was no longer hot.
Concubine Xu picked up an ear of corn, as she had never seen it before, she was exceptionally curious. It looked yellow and appetizing.
"So this is corn?"
Shen Chuwei, already eating, nodded with her cheeks bulging, "Mhm, this is a more common type of corn."
"This is my first time seeing corn," said Lady Liangyuan as she bit off a small piece, "It’s sweet and tastes good."
After tasting it, Concubine Xu also nodded, "It does taste good."
Lady Liangyuan, while nibbling on the corn, said, "If we sell this corn, it will surely bring in a good sum."
Concubine Xu teased her, "True to being a businesswoman, even eating corn makes you think of ways to make money."
Lady Liangyuan laughed bashfully, "It’s the result of being immersed in it since childhood."
Shen Chuwei took another bite of her corn, "I think it’s a good idea."
Lady Liangyuan became interested, "So does Lady Shen want to make money from this?"
Shen Chuwei said, "I can’t be bothered with that. I can give you the seeds and tell you how to plant them. Once the corn matures, you can also produce seeds from it so that you never run out."
Lady Liangyuan was excited, "That’s simple. Let’s partner up and I’ll give you a share of the profits every year."
Shen Chuwei however said, "You don’t need to give me a share of the profits; consider these corn seeds my gift to you."
She still remembered the ten thousand taels of silver Lady Liangyuan had given her, which could buy who knows how much corn~
After finishing the corn, Shen Chuwei went into the inner room, which was actually just going into the Space to get seeds, the commonly seen yellow corn seeds.
She placed five jin of corn seeds on the table.
"Here are five jin of corn seeds for you to plant first, and if they sell well, I also have Blood Glutinous Corn Seeds and Sweet Glutinous Corn Seeds. I’ve planted both of those too, and we’ll be able to eat them in a few days. Then you both can try them."
The whole five jin of corn seeds were enough to plant more than an acre of land.
Lady Liangyuan opened the bag and looked inside. The seeds were red, and she looked up at Shen Chuwei with confusion, "Why don’t these seeds look like corn?"
Shen Chuwei explained, "That’s the seed coating, which effectively prevents underground pests and certain
