Chapter 8: Is Hanlin Innocent?

Hanlin Temple is located in the west of the city, while Huangli Palace and Tianji Palace are located on the east mountain in the east of the city. The royal palace of Nanli Kingdom is in the center of Yangdu.

Most of the ginger pears are between the palace and the Huangli Palace, and the carriage driven by eight white royal horses is seated between the two sides, and the ruts are carved with phoenix patterns, which can only be found when you look carefully during the drive. The windows of the carriage were covered with a pear-white moon shadow veil, and nothing happened inside the carriage could be seen from the outside.

The people of Nanli no one know the phoenix pattern, and every time the carriage crosses the royal road, the people on both sides of the road spontaneously pay homage.

Jiang Li is the daughter of destiny, the phoenix destiny, and everyone in all countries knows it. And all parts of the South Pear Country have built Phoenix Temple, Tiannu Temple, all with the image of Jiang Pear to build sculptures for the people to worship.

When there is a natural disaster, the Huangli Palace always opens a warehouse to release grain, wine and people, and often sends the palace doctor to help the people. Every time the old national teacher sacrifices the ceremony, he will always bring ginger pears to pray to God together, and the girls who go from petite and immature to slim on the fairy platform know that this is their noble and sacred, pure-hearted Huangli Lord.

But today, when the carriage and horses were driving, Jiang Li had no time to greet the people who knelt down, but instructed the coachman to hurry up and gallop all the way to the west of the city. The horse is well trained, the foot is extremely fast, and the royal road is empty, and it can be whipped quickly, and it can be reached in less than an hour and a half.

It's still early in the morning, and the heavy snow just stopped yesterday, and the snow is still piling up on the side of the road, reflecting the brighter and brighter the sky. Just because she was going out of the palace to meet people, Jiang Li did not wear ordinary clothes today, but got up early and combed her phoenix bun by several old grandmothers.

This kind of bun is unique to the royal family of Nanli, and only the oldest and oldest palace maids will comb it slowly.

Then on the head of the jagged insertion of symmetrical sixteen hairpins. The concubines of the Nanli Palace all love to use gorgeous and flying jewelry such as emerald, jade, gold and jade, while Jiang Li likes to use Dongzhu, various color diamonds, silverware and other plain and low-key jewelry. Therefore, these best ones are always used by the Huangli Palace first.

Today's hair bun is inserted with a crown of sixteen wings of silver filament embellished with jade, decorated with east pearls, carnelian, chrysoprase, white jade, gold beads, surrounded by a pigeon-egg-sized diamond, two silver Luo Mi beads inserted in the center of the pear blossom stamen pearl step shake, two perched branches Luan Feng thousand leaf peony tourmaline beads step shake. The treasures at this end also weigh dozens of catties, and the pressed ginger pear was out of breath, but there was nothing to be done.

The swan-like slender neck only simply carries a pearl chain with a pear-shaped crystal and is wrapped twice, making the neck as thick as an ordinary man's wrist, which is pitiful.

Wearing a wide-sleeved fairy skirt with the color of Shui Tianbi, at a cursory glance, there was no complicated embroidery pattern, but it shone in the sun. In fact, it took several months for the embroidery lady of the inner court to make, and she embroidered it with silver silk mixed with a thin thread of moon-white silk, and wore a small crystal with the thinnest gold thread, and embroidered a faintly visible pear blossom pattern on the shoulders, chest, and ribs of the clothes.

In order to make the skirt of the walking room flowing, only the inner petticoat is outlined with very fine silver threads to outline the wave pattern, and the scattered parts are embellished with large transparent solid crystals. On the coat, it is scattered with silver thread and grain, which shines like small diamonds in the light.

Dressed like this, it is luxurious and not tacky, and it preserves the dignity of the royal family, but it also dresses Jiang Li like a girl who is ignorant of the world, and more like an immortal who has descended to earth.

The carriage traveled to the main gate of the Hanlin Academy, supported by Jiangxue and Rin Shuang, Jiang Li stepped down the four-story steps, got off the carriage, and slowly stepped into the Zhu Gate of the Hanlin Courtyard.

Today's maids are all dressed in goose yellow, and they seem to be in full bloom on a snowy day, which is very beautiful. It's just that Jiangxue and Rin Shuang are the big girls who are waiting by their side, and their clothes are also extraordinary.

Jiangxue has a lively temperament, wearing a lotus flower skirt, wearing only pearl lapis lazuli dotted green palace flowers on her head, and her hair is loosely decorated with fine gold and silver rice beads.

Rin Shuang has a calm temperament, and today he only wears a smoky silver Luo long coat and four or five emerald hairpins, but he is also very moving.

The maid behind her was holding an umbrella, blocking the not strong sun in the west of the city. The guard of honor behind him told the servants who came and went in the Hanlin Academy, and Lord Huangli, who had never been involved in world affairs, came.

Many young men who were only fourteen or fifteen years old were stunned when they saw such a battle, and forgot to bow and pay homage. Such a line and step by step is the arrival of an elegant woman, it is the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and Chang'e on the moon is descending to earth, and it is a rare scene.

The head of the Hanlin Academy is named Shen Chen, who has passed the sixtieth year this year, is a Qing official who is dedicated to the country, and is also full of poetry and books, quite talented, and will carry forward the Hanlin Academy on a more grand scale than the previous dynasty. Therefore, Jiang Li also respects him very much.

After instructing his subordinates to inform, Jiang Li came to the main hall of the Hanlin Academy and sat on the throne.

Soon, Shen Chen came to the main hall with a group of scholars. Raising his hand to let Shen Chen excuse himself from the courtesy and give him a seat, Jiang Li began to talk about the purpose of coming here today: "Mr. Shen, I don't know if you know, the eldest prince of the Yin Wang family of the Shuntianfu Mansion in the east of the city has committed an accident and is now in prison in the Criminal Department?" ”

"I don't know this. It's just that Zicong is very knowledgeable, but for some reason he went to prison? Mr. Shen Chen's white beard trembled, and with his beard, his eyes seemed to tremble twice, very shocked, and he didn't know.

Yes, Wang Zicong was sent to prison by his family, and Mr. Shen is in a hurry, so naturally he hasn't discovered the huge Hanlin Academy, and there is probably such a person who has disappeared.

Jiang Li wiped the non-existent dust on his sleeve with the crimson handkerchief he held in his hand, and his eyes were distant but very firm: "Yes, I don't know much about this seat, I only heard that it is related to a few people in the Hanlin Academy." ”

"Please also ask the adults to investigate clearly, return Zicong to a clean place, and return a quiet Hanlin Academy. All the people in my Hanlin Monastery are sent by the adults. Shen Chen put down the celadon cup in his hand and looked at the cup with a good Biluochun. He quickly knelt down and gestured to Jiang Li above.

"That's fine, then this seat will strive to give Shen Lao you justice within three days." Jiang Li got up, helped Mr. Shen's trembling hand, and lifted him slightly, and personally helped him up, "Come on, help Shen Lao down and serve carefully, and don't disturb him when you come and go." The rest of the people also retreated first, and after a while, this seat naturally had something to ask you. ”

I saw several young scholars below glancing at each other, and one of them stepped forward and waited for Shen Lao to go down. Several other people knelt down to say goodbye, and said: "Please ask the adults, and the wechen will know everything." ”

"Okay, I'd like to thank you in advance." Jiang Li smiled, and his tone was calm and steady, "But I also hope that when you say anything, don't joke about your career." ”
