Chapter 148: Be a matchmaker for the monk

Li Ling practiced overnight, and when it was dawn, he heard Shen Lang say he was leaving.

Only then did Li Ling realize that Shen Lang had asked Zhan Ting the "Empress's Girly Heart". Li Ling had some thoughts about Shen Lang's "appreciation of the moon" last night and said, "We'll destroy the bridge like this... we'll break the bridge after crossing the river! Only then did we know the problem we wanted, so we'll withdraw it?"

Shen Lang pinched the snow-white kitten with one hand and snorted: "That woman Zhan Ting has been in the officialdom for decades. Can she still not know what we think? Anyway, she already knows it very well. Why are we still 'touching'? Just leave directly!"

"Oh," Li Ling nodded: "Okay, then let's go and say goodbye."

Sure enough, when Li Ling and Shen Lang offered their farewell, Mr. Feng was not surprised at all. She just took out a piece of green jade pendant and held it to Shen Lang with both hands, and said, "My master said that she knew you were leaving soon. My master is still in the palace and has not come out. She asked me to hand this jade pendant to Mr. Chen. Please take this jade pendant to see how you enjoy the moon and drinking last night."

When Mr. Feng held out the jade pendant, Shen Lang didn't even look at it. But when Mr. Feng mentioned "I enjoyed the moon and drank last night", a trace of helplessness flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and he still took it.

He owe some favors. Now, if the jade pendant is not accepted, it will be a bit unkind.

Seeing Shen Lang taking the jade pendant, Mr. Feng smiled and said, "My master said that as long as he is in Xianshu, if Mr. Chen has any needs in the future, he can take this jade pendant to the Qinghou Mansion at any time... Maybe when will it be useful to apply this jade pendant."

Shen Lang: "...I don't think I can use it. But I'd better thank Lord Zhan!"

"Hey!" said Mr. Feng: "I will definitely convey Mr. Chen's words to my master."

Li Ling and Shen Lang said goodbye from the Qinghou Mansion, and Shen Lang asked for directions, and they headed straight for Cishou Temple.

In order to speed up the pace, Li Ling and Shen Lang called another carriage to take them over.

On the road, the carriage was not bumpy, Shen Lang put the white kitten in his hand, and he looked down at the kitten: "You can't say that those rumors about the Empress Fu Shi are really true..."

Li Ling lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the scenery outside the carriage, and turned his head when he heard this: "Are you talking about Master Jiaxue from Cishou Temple?"

Putting down the curtain of the carriage, Li Ling guessed: "If the Empress had really had a childhood sweetheart when she was a girl. Then, the beloved man was not with her for one reason or another. Because he was the Empress's lover, he had never married, and finally entered the monk temple and became a monk?"

Shen Lang nodded: "If this is the case, then this empress is really a fool."

Li Ling sneered: "If she is really a fool, why don't she bring Master Jiaxue from the monk temple into the palace? If she truly loves each other, why would she waste so many years?"

Shen Lang shook his head: "No. I don't mean that. What I mean is that as an emperor, if her true wish is a man, then it shows her true feelings."

Li Ling raised his eyebrows and did not refute again.

She could understand what Shen Lang meant, but Li Ling's thoughts were different from him, so it would be meaningless to continue discussing.

In Li Ling's opinion, if we truly love each other, how could we let the loved one be a monk for one reason or another?

What is the country and the overall situation?... After all, it is just because Master Jiaxue is not as good as the other one in the heart of the Empress Fu Shi.

Of course, Li Ling felt that he had no right to talk about the Empress Fu Shi.

The Empress Fu Shi can be a true master of Ai Jiaxue, but love is not the whole of her life. Perhaps, in the eyes of an Empress, the weight of love in her life is extremely light.

Li Ling did not question the empress's choice, but knew his own choice.

If the Empress Fu Shi and Master Jiaxue were really just as she and Shen Lang guessed... Putting herself in her shoes, assuming that Li Ling was Fu Shi, she would never choose a love that was abandoned at any time because of the emperor's slightest emperor and willing to become a monk for life.

Li Ling was silent.

Shen Lang touched the kitten in his arms, thinking.

The white kitten opened his eyes and looked at Li Ling for a long time before closing his eyes to rest.

The carriage calmed down for a moment.

In this silence, the two of them listened to the shouts of people driving outside the carriage curtain. The carriage gradually moved away from the downtown area. After passing the bumpy mountain road, they walked upwards and circled the mountains several times. Gradually, the voices outside the carriage rang again.

Not long after, the woman outside the carriage whispered: "Girl! Young Master! Cishou Temple has arrived."

Li Ling and Shen Lang walked out of the carriage, Shen Lang took a little broken silver and put it in the hand of the woman driving. The middle-aged woman driving nodded gratefully to Shen Lang.

Their carriage is not the only carriage on this mountain road. On the contrary, dozens of carriages are already parked on this mountain road.

Li Ling looked out at him.

In front is an ancient temple with a vast area, built halfway up the mountain, surrounded by green trees. The temple that should have been peaceful is extremely lively at this moment.

Before the temple, countless people came in and out. Some people were pious and looked at the incense, while others called friends and had children in their arms, and smiled, which looked more like watching the fun.

Li Ling sighed casually: "There are so many people in Cishou Temple today!"

The woman driving the carriage smiled and said, "That's not true! I heard that a few days ago, a noble nun from a neighboring country came to Cishou Temple. He must talk to Master Jiaxue of Cishou Temple. This is really a laughing thing. A person like a god and human being like Master Jiaxue is not something that ordinary people can see!"

The woman showed a hint of pride on her face: "Master Jiaxue refused to see her. The female nun who had attained enlightenment wanted to discuss the teachings with other monks in Cishou Temple all day long, saying that if no one could argue with her, she would definitely ask Master Jiaxue to come out and meet her."

The woman pointed to the temple hall: "That girl stayed in the temple and chatted with the monks all day long. Anyway, I can't understand... There are many people watching the fun. In the past few days, there have been more people renting carts up the mountain. The young master and the girl also came to the temple to watch the fun?"

Shen Lang nodded: "Yes! The monk talks with the nun, how interesting it is!"

The woman laughed: "That's right! The young master thinks so too! I think this matter is too interesting." As she said that, the woman shook her head: "No matter how interesting it is, I still have to eat."

The middle-aged woman driving got on the carriage again, turned the front of the carriage, parked the carriage to the other side of the mountain road, and said to the people who were going down the mountain: "Does anyone want a carriage?"

Li Ling said: "It seems... this is not easy to see Master Jiaxue."

"No matter how difficult it is to see you, you have to see each other again," Shen Lang walked towards the temple: "Let's go!"

Li Ling followed Shen Lang's steps and suddenly asked a question: "Oh, ah, ah? If it is really as we guessed, the empress's wish is to be with this master Jiaxue. Should we come to persuade the monk to return to secular life and then let him and the empress renew their relationship... I'll go! Is this mission to make us matchmakers?! Or be matchmakers for the monk?!"

Shen Lang paused, and he lifted the snow-white kitten and said to it: "Good, what do you think? Ah? Can the emperor's wish really be this?"
