The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Fang Huai quickly started to prepare. He moved his heavy body with great effort and found the soap that Zhao Yunchuan often used in the house. He also picked a few bunches of blooming chrysanthemums from the yard and carefully picked the petals one by one.

There's nothing I can do, there are only chrysanthemums in this weather.

After the hot water was ready, Fang Huai held his waist and directed his servants to carry a large bucket of steaming bath water into the bathroom. He gently sprinkled flower petals on the water. The fragrance of roses instantly spread, mixed with the light water vapor, filling the bathroom with a warm atmosphere.

Zhao Yunchuan walked into the bathroom and saw the hot water full of flower petals. The corners of his mouth twitched. He stared at the basin full of floating yellow petals for a long time. He turned to look at Fang Huai, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

Fang Huai was a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she stammered, "That... that is, um, there are only chrysanthemums in the yard. I thought that since they are all flowers, maybe they will smell good if they are soaked in water."

Zhao Yunchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and gently scratched Fang Huai's nose, saying lovingly, "Thank you for your hard work. You even thought of preparing all these for me. But this chrysanthemum bath is really my first time."

Fang Huai scratched his head and said with a smile: "Husband, just give it a try, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise. Besides, chrysanthemum can clear away heat and reduce internal heat, which is also good for your body that works hard every day."

Zhao Yunchuan shook his head helplessly and began to take off his clothes to prepare for a bath.

Seeing this, Fang Huai prepared to leave first. As soon as he turned around, he heard Zhao Yunchuan calling him, "Brother Huai, don't leave yet."

Fang Huai turned around in confusion and saw Zhao Yunchuan pointing at the flower petals in the water. He smiled bitterly and said, "There are so many petals here. I'm afraid they will get all over me. Can you help me fish them out?"

Fang Huai couldn't help laughing, then walked back to the bathtub, picked up the wooden spoon beside him, and began to carefully help Zhao Yunchuan scoop out the petals.

As he scooped them up, he muttered, "It's all because the petals of these chrysanthemums are too small. If I had known earlier, I would have picked bigger ones."

Zhao Yunchuan looked at Fang Huai's serious expression and felt deeply moved.

He gently held Fang Huai's hand and said, "Brother Huai, I love you more today than I did yesterday."

Fang Huai's cheeks turned even redder, and he said angrily, "You only know how to say nice things. Take a good bath now."

After saying that, he quickened the pace of scooping up the petals.

When most of the petals were scooped up, Fang Huai was about to leave again, but Zhao Yunchuan spoke again: "Brother Huai, please chat with me. It's boring to take a bath alone. Why don't you join me?"

When Fang Huai heard this, her face instantly turned red, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously took a step back, her hands unconsciously protecting her slightly bulging belly, and stammered, "You...what nonsense are you talking about! I'm pregnant, how can I go bathing with you?"

Zhao Yunchuan looked at Fang Huai's shy and nervous appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud. He teased him deliberately: "I was just joking. Look how nervous you are."

When Fang Huai heard Zhao Yunchuan's seemingly joking words, his face turned red like a ripe tomato, and his eyes were full of reproach: "It's such a time and you're still teasing me, I won't accompany you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yunchuan's response, she turned around in a hurry. Her steps seemed a little clumsy because of her slightly bulging belly, and she walked towards the door with a "thump thump" sound.

The warm water wrapped around Zhao Yunchuan's tired body. He closed his eyes comfortably, immersing himself in this long-lost relaxation.

Just as he was enjoying this moment of peace, he suddenly heard Fang Huai's voice coming from outside the door: "Husband, it suddenly occurred to me that I will ask Granny Sun to make some Poria cocos cake tomorrow. I heard that this cake can both strengthen the spleen and calm the mind. You have been busy all day, so it's just right to eat some of this."

Zhao Yunchuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and replied, "Okay."

On this day, Zhao Yunchuan went to the palace to meet the emperor as usual and reported to him the latest progress of potato promotion.

He explained the data and results in a clear and organized manner, and the emperor nodded frequently.

After the report, the emperor looked at Zhao Yunchuan carefully. Seeing that he looked haggard, with faint dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help but feel pity for him when he recalled his vigorous and handsome appearance during the palace examination.

The emperor said with emotion: "My dear minister, you have worked so hard to promote these potatoes. Your former top scholar style has been somewhat overshadowed by this hard work. I am grateful for your outstanding achievements and your excessive hard work during this period. I will allow you to go back and rest for two days, spend time with your family, and recuperate."

Zhao Yunchuan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and quickly thanked him: "Your Majesty, your grace is so great, I am deeply grateful."

The emperor looked gentle and said earnestly: "My dear, since you took office, you have been dedicated to the public and diligent. I know that you work hard and set a good example for the court. In the days to come, there will be many affairs inside and outside the court that require your efforts. I hope you can continue to maintain this momentum, take the world as your own responsibility, and contribute more to the prosperity of our dynasty."

Zhao Yunchuan straightened his back, looked determined, and solemnly replied with his hands clasped: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best and will not slack off in the slightest."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of praise: "Since you are so determined, I am relieved. I have seen everything you have done for the court. As long as you continue to work hard and seek the welfare of the people, I will not treat you unfairly, and it will not be a problem to promote you to a higher position and reward you with good land."

Zhao Yunchuan knelt down again to express his gratitude, thinking, as expected, bosses in modern times or ancient times all like to make promises. Look, the pie he drew is really big and round.

Although Zhao Yunchuan secretly complained about the "pie in the sky" thing in his heart, his face still showed an expression of fear and gratitude.

After exiting the palace, he took a deep breath, looked up at the palace with its flying eaves and brackets under the azure sky, and felt good. He could finally have a good rest for two days. If nothing else, he had to get a good sleep first.

As soon as he left the palace, Zhao Yunchuan's steps became lighter.

I hummed a little tune all the way home, and shouted at the top of my voice as soon as I entered the house: "Brother Huai, I'm back!"

Fang Huai came out of the house and looked at the smile on Zhao Yunchuan's face. He asked curiously, "You look so happy. Is there any good news in the court?"

Zhao Yunchuan stepped forward, took Fang Huai's hand, and said with great joy: "The emperor is considerate of me and allowed me to rest for two days. Now I can spend some time with you. I originally wanted to do prenatal education for the baby in your belly, but unfortunately I'm too busy these days."
