Chapter 86: Inexperienced and incompetent son-in-law 3

This peony planted by Zhao Junxin is one of the most precious varieties—the thousand-petaled Wei Zi.

There is no place to buy precious and rare varieties of flowers, and they can only be easily spent with flowers.

However, Zhao Junxin's family did not raise any precious breeds that he could look up to, so he had to change them.

For such a peony, it took Zhao Jun two years to convince an old scholar in the suburbs of Beijing. He put in a pair of calligraphy of Lao Zhao, and a pair of paintings by famous artists, which made the old scholar's heart move and gave him a Wei Zi.

Zhao Jun was grateful, and the old scholar stroked his white beard and said, "The things are given to you, but you may not be able to support them."

The old Xiucai said this not because he was arrogant, but because he saw through Zhao Junxin's inability to grow flowers and could not serve Wei Zi.

Wei Zi is valuable, but weak and extremely difficult to grow. If you want to raise him to bloom, you must have enough patience and perseverance, but also be careful.

The thousand-petal Wei Zi of the old scholar's family is good-looking, that is why it took him more than ten years to slowly recuperate, so that the delicate Wei Zi grows into full bloom. He is really a person who loves flowers and cherishes flowers. He has worked hard for so many years to raise peony, and he is distressed that he will die within a year of giving it to others.

If this is an ordinary rich boy, no matter how good the reward is, the old scholar will not be divided. Do you have the patience to take care of flowers like a dandy boy who eats, drinks and is arrogant and extravagant?

cannot.

Zhao Junxin was an exception. His temperament was not bad, and he was different from other dudes. He was moved several times, but he was still young and guarded the unblooming peony for a few years, and the old Xiucai didn't think he had the patience. But Zhao Jun is sincere and moving, plus he is the little son of the prime minister, and there is no shortage of excellent gardeners in the family. The little boy is impatient, and the gardener can help. So it was barely divided.

Of course, this result is still not good. In order to avoid future troubles, the old Xiucai made a reminder first.

It went well at first, but a few years later, it turned out to be difficult.

Whether this Wei Zi can survive the crisis of life and death is uncertain.

Zhao Jun was naturally very happy when he learned about this precious peony. Plant it in autumn, the most suitable season for peony planting, and the flowers in the entire yard are transplanted elsewhere to make room for Wei Zi.

Zhao Jun has a heart to grow flowers and likes to do it himself, so that when you have fun and flowers, you will have a sense of accomplishment.

Weeding, throwing soil, and fertilizing are all his own. According to the experience taught by the old scholar, and with the help and advice of the gardener at home, although this peony grows slowly, the initial growth is really good.

Wei Zi, with long branches and leaves in the first year, is dignified and dignified when it blooms. In the early stage of growth, she was a short and slender little pity.

The second year buds. At that time, Wei Zi was still very weak, and the buds did not look good when they bloomed. Peony is the master of blooming, and all the nourishment goes to supply blooming. It is likely to die after the flowers fade. So that year, Zhao Junxin grabbed all the buds and did not let them bloom, so as to ensure the growth of its branches, leaves and roots.

The third year, that is, the end of last year, the beginning of this year. Zhao Junxin decided to repeat the work for the second year. But this year, you can leave one or two buds to bloom and watch.

The plan is well done. It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, the climate heats up rapidly after the Spring Festival, and spring comes too early.

It is really comfortable for people to say goodbye to the cold winter and enter the spring, but this almost killed Wei Zi.

In those few days, Zhao Junxin was still in the palace celebrating the festival with the emperor and the queen, and the flower buds that Wei Zi played at home hadn't had time to pull off. The weather suddenly heated up, Wei Zi's flowering period was disrupted, and all the buds were in full bloom.

Flowers are irreversible.

On the peony branches that are not considered robust, there are blossoming and luxurious thousand-petal flowers, which are fragrant and beautiful.

Such splendid beauty is only on the eighth or ninth day, when the severe cold spring comes, the flowers quickly wither, and the peony branches also wither.

This bloom has exhausted the nutrients accumulated over the past three years. After that, Zhao Junxin also fertilized and recuperated, and also invited famous experts to recuperate, but the flower was always in a state of half-dead.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again. No sprouts were seen.

His Wei Zi is now like a pile of matchsticks.

Zhao Junxin looked at his firewood and sighed helplessly.

His precious eagle flew over from the nest and stood in a daze on the bare peony branch.

Zhao Junxin brought a book on flower cultivation from the room and studied it carefully, and then invited the gardener at home to discuss how to treat this peony.

In the past six months, there have been countless discussions and many meetings, but Wei Zi's situation has never been improved.

Everyone is discussing and discussing, but we still have to invite the old scholar.

But this old scholar is retreating to prepare for the imperial examination next year, and now he is nowhere to be seen. In the end how to do?

*

Zhao Junxin was worried about how to save Hua at his own house, and Ning Youyue, the culprit who dug a trap for him, was also upset and restless.

Things go awry and the plan doesn't go well.

According to the original plan, she took her grandmother and a group of female relatives to find Ning Youruo, and wanted to catch a **** in bed, so that both Ning Youruo and Zhao Junxin could not turn over.

She and the seventh prince have planned this plan. She is in charge of Ning Youruo, and the seventh prince is in charge of Zhao Junxin.

The two careerists formed an alliance and thought of a dirty way to get rid of each other's thorns.

At first, Ning Youyue was reluctant. Zhao Junxin's father was a high-ranking prime minister, and she did not dare to offend him. And the status of the seventh prince was not as important as that of Prime Minister Zhao. She didn't have the courage to count on his son. But the seventh prince said that it doesn't matter to men, it's just a romantic scandal, nothing to do.

I don't know where the Seventh Prince has enmity with Zhao Junxin, and he has to ruin his reputation. But Ning Youyue finally agreed.

They planned for two months, thoroughly figured out Zhao Junxin's temperament and living habits, and finally acted.

But how did the plan go awry? !

She took everyone to Ning Youruo's yard, but did not see the scene she wanted.

Ning Youruo slept on the same bed with her best friend, a lowly and vulgar businesswoman. The two of them are well-behaved, their clothes are neat, and there is no shit.

After being awakened, Ning Youruo was ignorant and still looked innocent and romantic, making her feel like vomiting.

The grandmother didn't have the slightest suspicion, and thought that Ning Youruo and the merchant girl were really tired and fell asleep together.

What about Zhao Jun's heart?

She saw with her own eyes that the two of them were taking drugs before leaving. Why are the people of the Seventh Prince so unreliable?

A stage was set up in the courtyard, and grandmother took the lead, and the family began to sing.

Ning Youyue was sitting on pins and needles beside her grandmother, she wanted to contact the seventh prince and tell him that they failed.

She also wanted to figure out what went wrong in the middle.

Did Zhao Junxin enter the room? Did he see Ning Youruo in heat? If he finds out about this trap and informs Prime Minister Zhao, what should she do?

When the prime minister's revenge, maybe the emperor will intervene, how can she bear this as a concubine of a declining family?

On the bright side, the Seventh Prince had absolutely no reason to frame his fiancee and the Prime Minister's son. When the Seventh Prince got rid of the relationship, this was his only sin. She can only carry all the pots alone!

Ning Youyue laughed with everyone, but the silk in her hand was about to be broken by her.

It's impossible to do this. How did the Seventh Prince ascend to the throne in his previous life? !

Is it too reckless for her to choose to vote for the Seventh Prince so quickly.

"Sister Youyue, your face is not very good, what's wrong?" Ning Youruo asked with concern. Zhang Tian was innocent and innocent, as if he really cared about people.

In fact, Ning Youruo was burning with anger at this moment, and she wished she could strangle Ning Youyue to death.

After taking the medicine, her body is crazy, but her mind is very clear. She almost understood the cause and effect of the incident, but it was too shameful to talk about it, let alone seek justice.

She treats her well on weekdays and never treats her harshly just because she is a prostitute, but she treats her like this!

Ning Youyue calmly responded, "Sister is worrying too much."

The concubines and concubines were about to confront each other, when a pair of men suddenly broke in, disrupting the Ning family's gathering.

Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife.

Jin Yiwei, who is directly under the emperor, appeared in the Ning family courtyard, and all the female family members were panicked and feared.

"Jin Yiwei is in charge of the case, please cooperate." The leader is the commander of Jin Yiwei, and it is not a trivial matter to trouble him.

The grandmother of the Ning family stood up and greeted her with sincerity and fear, and bowed deeply, "Master Commander, you are now polite!"

She kept her posture low, and the commander of Jin Yiwei was not a tyrannical person. He helped the old man up and said softly: "The old man doesn't need to be too polite. Today we are ordered to take people, and there is no need to be alarmed by unrelated people!"

After that, the commander turned his head and looked at the female family members: "Ning Youyue, the third miss of Ningfu, please!"

The eyes of the whole hall moved to Ning Youyue, Ning Youyue thought badly, things broke out so quickly.

She ordered herself to be calm and not panic.

Since she was caught, the seventh prince couldn't run away, and he absolutely couldn't let him put the pot on his head.

Ning Youyue quietly walked to the commander of Jin Yiwei.

I wanted to be taken away with dignity, but Jin Yiwei never cared about people's face when taking people.

Ning Youruo held her friend's hand tightly, her heart was about to burst out.

She has feelings. Ning Youyue was arrested for drugging her. The victims at that time included not only her and her friends, but also a wealthy young man she did not know.

What will happen to yourself? Will she be implicated?

All kinds of terrible consequences were echoing in front of her eyes, and she was really afraid.

*

It was almost dusk, and the Zhao family had dinner.

At this moment, someone came to the palace. The little maid next to the queen came out and spread the word, saying that the queen's wife had made some winter clothes for Zhao Junxin, and asked him to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to try it on.

Zhao Jun happily agreed and sent the little palace maid away. He wiped out the option of the emperor's illegitimate child in his mind.

No matter how generous the queen is, she will not be so considerate. His identity became more and more a mystery.

Aside from this paragraph, this is an ordinary night in the old Zhao family.

Brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews and nieces all gathered together, having a lively meal and chatting.

As long as the old man of his family was not around, he learned that Zhao Junxin was framed, so he went to the palace and never came back.

*

Lao Zhao won't be back for a while, and he is expected to spend the night in the palace tonight.

Earlier, he told the emperor that he had a bad heart and plotted against him, and the emperor was furious.

No need for Prime Minister Zhao to apply eye drops, the emperor was quicker than anyone to suspect his son.

He thought that the seventh prince not only wanted to harm him, but he was also dissatisfied with this mediocre marriage and wanted to kill two birds with one stone. This fully shows that the Seventh Prince is very ambitious and has his eyes on his dragon chair.

The emperor sent someone to investigate, and immediately found out that Ning Youyue's maid bought that kind of medicine, and directly took the person with evidence. Decided to break out of her head.

Now, Prime Minister Zhao is following behind the emperor, hiding outside the curtain, and they examine Ning Youyue at night.

"Ning Youyue, you know the crime." The Minister of Punishment personally interrogated.

"The girl is convicted!" Ning Youyue didn't want to suffer all kinds of cruel punishment, so she simply confessed.

"What crime did you commit? You brought it here truthfully?" said the Minister of Punishment.

No one expected Ning Youyue to be so honest.

"The girl avenged her own mother, and planned a plan to tarnish the innocence of the elder sister, and the girl was guilty." Ning Youyue said calmly.

Designing to tarnish my sister's innocence is a sin, but it's not a big sin. What's more, if there is nothing wrong with Ning You, she has failed. should also be punished lightly.

The Minister of Punishment was furious: "Easy to avoid the important, you are not honest! Ning Youyue, how can you implicate the young master of the Zhao family when you are plotting against your sister-in-law?"

The only chance in Ning Youyue's heart was shattered, so far, she could only seek the lightest punishment. She can't take the blame for the Seventh Prince!

She looked up at the Minister of Punishment and said frankly: "Master Hui, this is a trap set up by me and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. I conspired with His Highness to deal with each other's thorns. I am taking revenge on Ning Youruo for killing my biological mother. , and Your Highness... He suspects that Young Master Zhao is the illegitimate son of the current sage, so he takes precautions before it happens. A romantic incident will only hinder his reputation."

Of course, she didn't know why the Seventh Prince targeted the young son of the Zhao family and made a random lie.

Seizing the Inheritance, this reason might kill both herself and the Seventh Prince, but she couldn't think of or make up a more logical reason. Only when Young Master Zhao poses a threat to the throne will others believe that she is not the mastermind.

She is betting that if she wins, she will be given a light sentence and light punishment. If she fails, she will likely be silenced, and of course a prince will be buried with her.

Rebirth is still a failure in a lifetime, but it is not an absolute loss.

The emperor hid behind the curtain, furious and murderous.

"Your Majesty, this woman's words still need to be verified..." Prime Minister Zhao advised.

Then, how could an angry emperor, an emperor who felt threatened, would listen to advice?

How to deal with Ning Youyue, how to deal with the Seventh Prince, he already has a plan.
