The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 93 Rejecting Song Zhilan

Before Zheng Qiuyun could respond, the eldest prince said again: "Father, there are so many talented people in Daxuan, and no one has discovered a new crop in a hundred years. Zheng Qiuyun can actually make crops produce a thousand catties per hour. If she is not lying, or has witchcraft?"

Shangshu Youcheng hurriedly stopped him, "First Prince, be careful what you say."

I saw a huge change in the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court. On the one hand, they were afraid that Zheng Qiuyun really had sorcery, and on the other hand, it was because the eldest prince had touched a taboo in the court.

Before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, there was a capable minister beside him who could predict the weather in the next few days.He aroused the late emperor's suspicion and was beheaded in the name of deceiving the public with his evil words. This has always been a worry for the emperor.

The smile on the Holy Master's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became serious.In the court hall, you can hear a needle drop.

Zheng Qiuyun asked back: "Your Majesty is diligent and caring for the people, and moved God to allow Qiuyun to discover new crops by chance. With the harvest of corn this year, the people's hunger problem will be solved. What is the intention of the eldest prince now falsely accusing me of witchcraft?"

In the face of accusations, if Zheng Qiuyun proves his innocence, no matter what is right or wrong, the seeds of doubt will eventually be planted in the heart of the Holy Master.She turned against the guest and first accused the eldest prince of having bad intentions.Therefore, the person who falls into the trap of self-realization becomes the eldest prince.

The eldest prince argued eagerly: "Father, I just want the people to be fed, and I have no other ideas."

The saint's face was as dark as ink, "There is no need to discuss the eldest prince's dereliction of duty. I will beat the eldest prince thirty times, detain him for half a year, and confiscate all his private property."

The eldest prince saw that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to kneel down and thank Long En.

Zheng Qiuyun added: "Qiu Yun discovered corn by luck, and I don't know if he will be so lucky next. Qingzhou Sinong originally ran an agricultural school, but now Sinong died in the war. Qiu Yun begged the Holy One to let me take over the agricultural school."

The officials of the eldest prince's faction felt that Zheng Qiuyun was getting more and more upset. He became an official, maintained guards, and now he had to run an agricultural school.Although the eldest prince was dragged down, there were people who opposed him.

The minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been no precedent for women to run a school. I, Daxuan, cannot set this precedent."

The second prince winked at the officials, and soon a supportive official spoke up, "Since Zheng Qiuyun is already a farmer in the two states and teaches people how to farm, why can't he also teach students?"

The Holy Emperor was annoyed by them and said, "We will discuss agronomy affairs after the new crops can really produce a thousand catties per mu. If they can't produce a thousand catties per mu, Zheng Qiuyun will be severely punished."

Zheng Qiuyun responded yes, and Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan looked at her worriedly.

The argument was concluded and everyone started to talk about other things.Until now, the officials seemed to have forgotten that the eldest prince said that Zheng Qiuyun had witchcraft, which was also Zheng Qiuyun's purpose.In a few words, they diverted their attention.

After the meeting, Zheng Wuan came out of the main hall, already covered in sweat, "Sister, it was really scary in there just now."

Zheng Wenping was slightly stronger than him, "Sister, is it true that corn can produce a thousand catties per mu?"

Zheng Qiuyun thought deeply and said: "I'm not sure, but after I finish harvesting the corn, you should also finish the Qiu Wei exam. My sister feels that if the corn cannot produce a thousand catties per mu, you can also save me."

Zheng Wuan opened his mouth in surprise, "Sister, are you kidding me?"

Zheng Wenping wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again, and finally said helplessly: "Wu An, let's study hard."

Zheng Wuan nodded, "That's fine."

Jiang Cheng and others who were willing to join the army were incorporated into the army.Those who were unwilling to surrender to the army came to join Zheng Qiuyun after hearing that Zheng Qiuyun could still maintain five hundred guards.

Jiang Cheng himself was promoted to the title of Zhongzhen General, and the place he was responsible for was in the Mobei area, far away from Jiangzhou. Others came to seek refuge with Zheng Qiuyun, and he came to say goodbye.

The four of them gathered at a restaurant in the capital and ordered a table of good wine and food.Zheng Qiuyun explained: "Mobei is cold in winter and hot in summer, dry and sandy. Take care of yourself."

With that said, Zheng Qiuyun took out a jar of ointment and said, "This is for you. It can prevent dryness and cracking when you touch it."

Although he didn't get along with Jiang Cheng for a short time, he respected himself and was kind.When it was time to say goodbye, Zheng Qiuyun was a little reluctant to leave.Jiang Cheng took it and touched his body again, only to find a stolen dagger.He simply gave up and raised his glass, "Thank you, sister."

After dinner, Zheng Qiuyun and the other three returned to the inn. A maidservant had been waiting for them beside the carriage.

Seeing Zheng Qiuyun, she hurried over and said, "Miss Zheng, I am the maid of the second prince's concubine. I am sending you a banquet invitation."

Zheng Qiuyun took the gilded invitation and opened it. He saw that it said that Song Zhilan held a flower viewing party and invited Zheng Qiuyun to attend.

It was a lie to invite her to the flower viewing party, but it was a lie to take the opportunity to win over the three siblings.If Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan had no fame, this would be an ordinary banquet hosted by the princess.If the two of them had fame, this would be an olive branch extended by the second prince.

Zheng Qiuyun did not accept the invitation, "Can you please tell the second princess and thank her for her love. But now that the autumn harvest is coming, Qiuyun needs to return home immediately."

The maidservant had no choice but to go back and recover.

In the back garden of the Second Prince's Mansion, Song Zhilan was watering the chrysanthemums.

These flowers were well raised by her, and they were clusters of flowers that complemented the beautiful silk and satin on her body.As the sun set, there was no flaw on her face. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was beautiful as a person or as a flower.

Hearing the maid's reply, Song Zhilan's hand watering the flowers paused, "Go and tell the second prince."

"Yes."

After a while, Xiao Duo walked around the rockery, walked along the cobblestone path, and came to her.Xiao Duo took the kettle for watering the flowers from Song Zhilan's hand and put it aside, then stepped forward and hugged her gently.

"It's windy outside, why don't you go back inside and rest?"

Song Zhilan frowned slightly, "Zheng Sinong was not invited."

Xiao Duo hugged her tighter and said, "It doesn't matter, we will invite her again when Zheng Sinong returns to Beijing to report on his work."

Song Zhilan leaned in his arms, "If her two younger brothers were nominated for the gold medal at that time, I'm afraid it would be even harder to invite them."

"I will think of a way." Xiao Duo hugged her back, "I heard that there is osmanthus perfume in Mingzhou. I sent someone to buy you a bottle. Can you go back home and try it?"

Song Zhilan's eyes were shy and she hummed softly.

Back in the house, Xiao Duo opened the cap of the perfume bottle and handed it to Song Zhilan.Song Zhilan smelled it and couldn't wait to put a drop on her clothes.

Xiao Duo smiled and said: "I know you like orchids more. I have already ordered orchid perfume for the shopkeeper, but I just can't make it in time for the flower viewing party."

Song Zhilan was satisfied with this bottle, and when she heard that Xiao Duo had ordered orchids for her, she felt even more happy, "Thank you, husband."

On the day of the flower appreciation banquet, the ladies from all the families competed for beauty and were dressed in unique ways.Song Zhilan smiled at Yan Yan and entertained them warmly.

Zhao Zixin's nose twitched, "Second Princess, why do you smell like osmanthus?"

Song Zhilan pursed her lips and smiled, and the maid beside her replied: "The second prince bought perfume for the imperial concubine, and it was shipped from Mingzhou."

　Thank you so many friends, I will fight them one by one.
