Chapter 34 Waiting for her
The next morning, Shen Xian began to wash up and dress up. She was exquisitely dressed from head to toe. Even the color of her hair was changed to light pink, making her fingers appear slender and tender.
Xiang Nong brought her scented clothes and put them on. Shen Xian sniffed the faint scent of roses on the clothes and curled her lips happily.
When she went out, the carriage was waiting outside the house. But as soon as she got on the carriage, she suddenly remembered something, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
She wished she didn't even ask Shi Ling when they would meet!
Was she bewitched by Shi Ling yesterday? She just remembered that he took the initiative to come to her and forgot about the real thing.
Could it be that she had to wait for him at Kokusōji Temple?
Although she said that she was pursuing him, no matter how big-hearted Shen Xian was, she would be a little sad to have a woman wait for a man.
But the carriage has already started driving. Doesn’t it seem a bit unnecessary to turn around and go back?
"You'd better come early and don't make me wait too long, otherwise..." Shen Xian bit her lower lip after thinking for a while, but couldn't think of anything to threaten Shi Ling.
He sighed and frowned: "Forget it, you'll have to live with the person you choose."
The carriage drove through the streets, went around several corners and finally arrived at the Guoxiang Temple. When the carriage stopped, Xiang Nong subconsciously reached out to take Shen Xian's hand, but she stood for a while and never saw her young lady coming out. I couldn't help but worry and shouted: "Miss? Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Xian leaned her head against the carriage board, feeling a little depressed.
She just felt that Shi Ling hadn't come yet anyway, so she got off the carriage early and waited, which seemed like she was anxious. She was also very strong-willed and reserved, okay?
He said, "I'm fine, Xiangneng, I just want to stay in the carriage for a while."
After saying that, there was no sound outside. Shen Xian thought it was Xiang Nong who was obedient, so she was about to close her eyes to rest, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt the car body sink, and someone opened the door and came in.
Shen Xian suddenly opened her eyes and saw Shi Ling's face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes.
"Shi...Prince!"
Shi Ling looked her up and down, seemed relieved, and then glared at her: "Why don't you get out of the car if you have nothing to do? Do I have to come to invite you in person?"
Shen Xian is a little confused now.
Staring at Shi Ling, she didn't know whether to be happy or what. It wasn't until Shi Ling suddenly approached her impatiently that Shen Xian suddenly reacted.
She wasn't waiting for Shi Ling, it was Shi Ling who was waiting for her.
She couldn't help but curl her lips and laugh.
Shi Ling raised his eyebrows: "Are you stupid?"
Shen Xian stared at him: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time, Your Majesty?"
"How shameless do you think you can't get out of the carriage when you know that the king is waiting for you?" Shi Ling said and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.
Shen Xian was startled, then she suddenly reacted and covered her face and said somewhat unhappy: "Don't pinch your face, I'm rouged."
Shi Ling smiled and took back his hand.
Xiang Nong waited outside for a long time with a pile of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Seeing that there was no movement inside, she was a little afraid that her young lady would suffer. She couldn't help but wanted to go up to help, but Ah Feng stopped her and stammered: "I...my family Master, inside...inside!"
"It's because your master is inside that I have to go in to protect my young lady!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling got down from the carriage. After a while, Shen Xian also stretched out her hand. Xiang Nong immediately put down the baggage and pushed A Feng away and went up to catch her hand.
Looking carefully at the young lady's face, she seemed to be a little happy except for the blush on her cheeks.
"Let's go." Shi Ling turned around and walked towards the temple. Shen Xian was confused: "What are you going to the temple for?"
Shi Ling: "I'll invite Zhou Niang to the Guoxiang Temple for talks. I don't like to go to that place."
Shen Xian thought about the beggars and gangsters she saw last time, and couldn't help but feel disgusted. They were all good at begging for a living because they were lazy and good at what they could do.
She was worried about this at first, but she didn't expect that Shi Ling had already arranged it.
The monks in the temple all seemed to know Shi Ling, but they all avoided him, and some couldn't avoid him and could only salute tremblingly.
Shen Xian couldn't help but be surprised.
Isn’t it said that Shi Ling was picked up by the abbot of Guoxiang Temple before he could recognize his relatives and return to the palace?
Logically speaking, the relationship between Shi Ling and Guoxiang Temple should be very deep, but Shen Xian could clearly feel that Shi Ling was very depressed at this moment, and he was unwilling to say a word. There were also those monks who met him. It's like meeting the King of Hell who is urging you to die.
Probably because Ling had become more tolerant to her recently, she boldly asked: "My lord, weren't you brought back to the palace by Abbot Jingkong before? Why are you unhappy?"
Shi Ling was unhappy: "Why should I be happy?"
"I would definitely be happy if I could go back to see my savior after being found after being away from home for so many years."
Shi Ling sneered, not sure if he was laughing at what Shen Xian said or something.
In the end, he just said: "Buddhism is a pure place where laughter is not allowed."
Shen Xian had no choice but to say obediently, and then followed him closely.
On Thursday, mother and son were placed in the east wing. Only the mother and son lived here. Although the temple was a little more simple, it was a great gift for mother and son to have a place to live that would not be taken away by others.
So when she saw the two of them coming, Thursday's mother immediately pulled Chen Tianyou to kowtow to them. Shen Xian hurriedly went up to pull them up, and handed the pastries and candies she brought from the house to Chen Tianyou, smiling and rubbing his cheeks. Brain: "Have you been good, Tianyou? Have you eaten well?"
Tianyou stared at Chishi with his eyes shining and nodded excitedly.
"The only person here who doesn't want to eat well is you."
Shen Xian turned around and glanced at Shi Ling angrily.
Well, you are still angry about her picky eating that day, you are so petty!
Thursday's mother sent the children to play nearby, then took the two of them to sit down in the house. She poured water for them personally and then stood aside to wait. She stared at them with a smile and quietly murmured, "A perfect match." .'
"I came here today to ask you to tell me about your husband's facial features. I will draw them, and then the prince will avenge your husband."
Zhou Niang immediately became serious when she mentioned her husband and looked at Shen Xian firmly.
After Xiangnong placed the pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Zhou Niang also started to talk.
It had been three years since she last saw him, but she still remembered her husband's appearance clearly.
Every painting that Shen Xian wrote was based on her narration, and Zhou Niang couldn't help but have red eyes every time she painted something that felt familiar.
Shi Ling had already stood up. He was looking down not at the painting, but at the person painting it.
Shen Xian's hands are very beautiful, they should be very soft and tender, and holding the pen is indescribably beautiful. At this moment, she has removed her usual false appearance towards him, and looks at the painting seriously, with her long and curled eyelashes trembling from time to time. , the eyes are flowing, the red lips are round, and it seems very delicious.
Probably frightened by his own thoughts, Shi Ling immediately turned his head and looked elsewhere.
But as soon as he turned around, Shen Xian immediately raised her head and called him: "Your Majesty, come and take a look?"
"Don't read it. I can't draw. You can make your own decision."
