Chapter 473: Promotion in name only, demotion in reality

"He's just a poor scholar. It's just a matter of moving my fingers to deal with him." Princess Jinghe, Gu Saisai, patted Ji Xiangyun on the shoulder, "Just wait, I will avenge you and make him regret coming into this world.

I might as well detach his legs and give them to you as a wedding gift."

"Don't let him become disabled." Ji Xiangyun stopped him.

"Why? Are you still reluctant to let go?"

"You don't know, that Ying Zhilin is very handsome, and I've seen countless men in my life.

Weak, strong, cold and mature, smart and cute, what kind of handsome man have you not seen?

He is the most handsome man I have ever seen. He is beautiful but not vulgar, strong but not flabby, full of talent, and has absolutely no flaws.

No, his shortcoming is that he has poor vision!

I wanted to take her into my harem and share her with you when you came back. But who knew he would be so ungrateful! " Ji Xiangyun was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

The other two didn't believe that there was such a perfect man in the world.

Ji Xiangyun raised his chin and said proudly, "When you meet him, you will know how good my vision is."

"That may not be the case. If we are not satisfied, we will not leave you with a perfect body."

The three sisters talked to Ying Zhilin about the handsome man they had recently found, and they were very happy.

It was only when the maid beside her reminded her that it was getting late and it was time for everyone to return home that she reluctantly left.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the private room, Gu Saisai slipped, lost her balance and fell forward.

She was about to hit the wall.

Suddenly, a tall and straight figure appeared between her and the wall.

She bumped her head against the broad back.

"Ugh..." The other party groaned in pain.

Gu Saisai held her bumped forehead and took two steps back, about to curse.

The man who was acting as a buffer for her didn't even look at her. He stepped back a few steps in a polite manner and said, "Girl, are you okay?"

"Master Huo!?" Gu Saisai hadn't expected that he was the one who saved her. "Why are you helping me again?"

Huo Yaoxing smiled at Gu Saisai with his most handsome profile: "I didn't expect it was Her Royal Highness the Princess. I was so rude just now." It must be said that Huo Yaoxing's appearance was one of the best among the handsome men collected by the three of them.

If he hadn't come from a prominent family, not only being the eldest son of a marquisate but also having a very calculating father, the three of them would have used some trickery to get him into their pockets long ago.

Seeing Gu Saisai staring at someone for several times, Ji Xiangyun walked over and bumped into her, whispering, "You're useless! Look how hungry you are, and you still like someone like this.

When you meet Ying Zhilin, even if someone like this were to be stripped naked and placed before you, you wouldn't be interested."

"You're praising Ying Zhilin to bits. How come he's really that good-looking that he's won you over?"

"When you see it, you will naturally feel the same as me."

Ji Xiangyun really likes Ying Zhilin's face.

In addition, he is the top scorer in this year's exam and the best student in the world.

She began to think about changing her mind.

I even wanted to marry him, give birth to his children, and spend my life with him.

What a pity.

You should know that Lin doesn't know how to appreciate it!

He has a handsome appearance but is blind.

He actually fell in love with a fake rich girl, a real country girl.

Could it be that she, the most favored princess of Dayong, is not as good as a village girl?

Since he doesn't know what's good for him, don't blame her for being so cruel.

What she can't get, she would rather destroy than give to others!

The three noble ladies left the restaurant while talking in whispers.

However, when Princess Jinghe left, she couldn't help but look back at him several times.

Huo Yaoxing achieved his goal and smiled knowingly, thinking that his role as a "hero saving the beauty" was worth it.

Ying Zhilin arrived at the Hanlin Academy.

All the work for the day was done in one morning.

In the afternoon, he found a few cookbooks and memorized them frantically.

He is about to leave the Hanlin Academy, and it will not be easy to find these unpopular recipes then.

He had just memorized four dishes when someone came into the room and asked, "Where is Yingzhi Lin?"

Ying Zhilin turned around and saw that the man was wearing eunuch's clothes, and it was obvious that he was a member of the imperial court.

Ying Zhilin quickly stood up and said, "It's me."

The eunuch cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "The emperor has ordered that Yingzhi Lin be transferred to the Dali Temple as a judge."

Ying Zhilin's colleagues looked at each other in confusion.

The Dali Temple judge was an official position below the eighth rank.

The Hanlin Academy Shujishi has no rank.

It looks like a promotion.

But in fact it is a rise in name only and a fall in reality.

Although Shujishi had no rank, they were close ministers to the emperor.

He drafted imperial edicts and lectured on scriptures for the emperor, and often had the opportunity to come into contact with the emperor.

If the emperor likes you one day, you will be promoted.

There are as many as forty or fifty judges in the Dali Temple, who are responsible for reviewing cases and verifying land plan files.

Usually I deal with cases or people from all walks of life.

Not to mention meeting the emperor, even the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple could hardly be seen a few times throughout the year.

Getting promoted is even more difficult.

Unless you can solve a major case that shocks the world and makes ghosts cry.

As soon as the eunuch who announced the oral order left, his colleagues gathered around him and asked him questions.

Ying Zhilin is very efficient and kind-hearted, so everyone is reluctant to see him go.

Some people are also worried that he might have offended some important person.

"I usually do things in a proper manner and haven't offended anyone!" Ying Zhilin sighed, looking deeply shocked. "Everyone, I won't be able to help you organize the booklets anymore."

His colleagues consoled him reluctantly, then sighed and went about their business.

Ying Zhilin resigned early after memorizing the entire recipe book.

He specially went to the market and bought some food, and then went to Qingfeng Xiaolou to pick up Wen Yan.

Usually, after he arrived and asked someone to pass on the message, Wen Yan would hurried out to see him.

Who knows.

Today, Wen Yan was actually waiting outside the door.

Ying Zhilin rushed to her and said, "Yanyan, why are you here? Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for you here." Wen Yan carefully observed his expression, his eyebrows were flying with joy, and she didn't see anything wrong.

"It's just right. I also bought some ingredients. Let's go back to Huaihua Alley and I'll make you something delicious." Ying Zhilin wanted to take Wen Yan to Huaihua Alley whether he had something to do or not.

He wanted her to get familiar with the environment there and make her feel that "Huaihua Alley" was her home.

"You still have the mind to cook? Aren't you sad at all?"

Ying Zhilin asked her, "Do I need to be sad about anything?"

"You were transferred to the Dali Temple, a promotion in name only, a demotion in reality. This matter has spread throughout the capital.

Now people outside are talking about you being completely abandoned by the Emperor."

In fact, the rumors outside are even more exaggerated.

Many people say that he has become stupid because of reading, and can only write pedantic articles but not how to behave as a human being.

Ying Zhilin smiled calmly, relaxed and at ease: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how could he arbitrarily punish his subjects based on his personal preferences? Besides, I am just an ordinary Shujishi, and it's just a transfer. Why would there be such a commotion?"

Wen Yan said, "I also think that someone is deliberately instigating this? However, knowing that someone is deliberately trying to frame you, aren't you worried at all?"

"What's the use of being anxious? It will only make those people laugh. Why don't we go home and make something delicious." Ying Zhilin dragged Wen Yan back to Huaihua Alley.
