Chapter 186: Met an acquaintance and got caught

Today, the sky is clear and the temperature has risen by a few degrees.

In order to urge the gray rabbit to lose weight, Shen Chuwei kept letting it run and exercise its muscles.

After running for only two days, the gray rabbit got angry, quit his job, and ran away from home.

Shen Chuwei searched for the gray rabbit for a long time but couldn't find it. She thought that it must have run away since it had run away from home twice, so she lifted her skirt and went out to look for it.

After exiting the Hehuan Palace gate, I spotted the gray rabbit after a short while.

"I finally found you. You're getting bolder and bolder. You know you've run away from home, right?"

When the gray rabbit saw Shen Chuwei coming towards him, its big black eyes rolled twice, then it ran away.

The exercise in the past two days has some effect. The gray rabbit, which had been lazy and motionless, now runs quite fast, although not as fast as a wild rabbit.

Seeing the gray rabbit running away without looking back, Shen Chuwei put his hands on his waist and said harshly, "How dare you run? Look, I will catch you and fry you and boil you."

As she said this, she picked up her skirt and ran after him.

I don’t know if the gray rabbit understood Shen Chuwei’s threatening words, it ran even faster and ran out of the East Palace gate in a short while.

Shen Chuwei had no choice but to run out.

She didn't know how long she had been running before she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Shen Liangdi."

Shen Chuwei felt the voice sounded familiar. She turned around in confusion and saw the little monk standing five meters away from her. He was wearing a gray Haiqing suit and standing against the light. His hairless head was shiny.

With that cool and handsome face, he looks a bit like a high monk.

Seeing an acquaintance, Shen Chu smiled and asked, "Little monk, why are you in the palace?"

Wu Tan walked in front of Shen Chuwei with steady steps and put his hands together. "Master went to Beijing to give lectures, and I came with him. I hope Shen Liang Di is well."

Shen Chuwei lowered the hem of her skirt to cover her embroidered shoes, raised her eyes and looked at the little monk, "How are you, little monk?"

Wu Tan smiled faintly: "Shen Liang Di, my Buddhist name is Wu Tan, you can call me Wu Tan."

Wu Tan, Shen Chuwei silently repeated it and said with a smile: "It's a nice name."

Wu Tan said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed Shen Liang Di."

Shen Chuwei stared at Wu Tan's shiny forehead for a while. If it were someone else, she would feel a little sorry that such a handsome guy shaved his head and became a monk.

As for Wu Tan, she thought that if a bald head could look so handsome, it meant that he was really handsome.

Wu Tan asked, "What was Shen Liangdi looking for just now?"

"Looking for the little rabbit, what about you? Why are you here?" Shen Chuwei remembered that the Buddhist temple was some distance away from here. Could it be that you got lost?

Wu Tan said, "I have nothing to do. I can help Shen Liang Di find rabbits."

Shen Chuwei didn’t know where the gray rabbit had gone. If Xiao Jinyan knew that she had lost the rabbit, he would definitely be angry.

"That's a bother for you."

"No trouble."

Two people searched much faster than one person, and they soon found the gray rabbit.

Shen Chuwei was directing while trying to get closer to the gray rabbit, "Wutan, go over there and don't let it get away."

Wu Tan cooperated very well. The two of them surrounded the gray rabbit slowly and drove it to the corner of the wall.

Almost at the same time, both of them pounced on the rabbit and each grabbed one of its legs.

Shen Chuwei grabbed the rabbit's leg and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally caught it."

Wu Tan let go of the rabbit and let her hold it. He looked at the rabbit for a few seconds and found that it did not look like a pet rabbit. "Is this a wild rabbit?"

"Yes, Your Highness picked it up during the autumn hunting. It was quite cute when it was little." Shen Chuwei rubbed the rabbit's soft belly and smiled: "It's not ugly now that it's fat, but it's too fat."

"Shen Liang Di raised me well." Wu Tan took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shen Chuwei, "Shen Liang Di, this string of Buddhist beads has been blessed. Giving it to you will ensure your safety."

Shen Chuwei stared at the Buddhist beads in Wu Tan's hand. It was the first time she saw blessed Buddhist beads. The beads were very small, and the brown material looked like sandalwood. She could smell a faint scent of sandalwood.

Wu Tan reminded: "Shen Liang Di, try it on to see if it fits you. If it doesn't, I can modify it."

Shen Chuwei was a little hesitant. "I heard that blessed Buddhist beads are very rare. You gave them to me, but you don't have any left, right? You should keep them for yourself. Bodhisattva can't protect you 24 hours a day."

Wu Tan asked in confusion: "What do you mean 24 hours?"

Shen Chuwei realized that she had said it wrong, and corrected herself: "It's twelve hours."

"Don't worry, Shen Liangdi. The vegetable seeds you gave me last time have already been planted by this poor monk, and they have sprouted now. This string of Buddhist beads is to thank you for the vegetable seeds. Please accept it, Shen Liangdi." Wu Tan said slowly, every word was sincere.

Shen Chuwei thought for a while and nodded: "Then I'll accept it."

As she spoke, she took the Buddhist beads from Wu Tan's hand and put them on her right hand, pulling up her lotus-pink sleeves. "Wutan, the beads are just the right size."

Wu Tan looked at Shen Chuwei's right wrist and found a cinnabar-colored mole on her wrist, the shape of which was a bit like a peach blossom.

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Shen Liangdi, is the mole on your hand natural?"

Shen Chu lowered his eyes and looked at the mole on his wrist. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the original owner had never had a mole tattooed.

"It's natural." Shen Chu looked at Wu Tan in confusion, "Is there something wrong with this mole?"

Wu Tan stared at the mole for a while and shook his head: "It's nothing, Shen Liang Di, don't worry."

"That's good." Shen Chu lowered his eyes and glanced at the mole on his wrist. He thought the peach blossom-shaped mole, which was right next to the Buddhist beads, was quite beautiful.

Wu Tan stared at the peach-shaped mole for a long time and couldn't help asking, "Shen Liang Di, where are you from?"

"To the residence of Minister Shen." Shen Chuwei saw Wu Tan was so nervous. She thought that Buddhism was very particular, and she also heard that he could read people's faces, etc., which was comparable to Lord Lu.

Could it be that Wu Tan saw something?

Wu Tan listened to Minister Shen’s residence, so Shen Liangdi is the daughter of Minister Shen?

Shen Chuwei was about to ask, but suddenly a cold and familiar voice came from behind her, "Shen Liangdi, what are you doing?"

She looked back and saw Xiao Jinyan standing behind her in black court robes.

She walked forward holding the rabbit and bowed, "Your Highness, I am going out to look for the rabbit."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the gray rabbit in her arms, his eyes were very dark.

When he just arrived, he saw Shen Chuwei and Wu Tan talking and laughing, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

Wu Tan took a few steps forward and put his hands together, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and looked at Wu Tan, his voice was cold: "Why is Wu Tan here?"

Wu Tan answered calmly: "I saw the peach blossoms blooming here from afar, so I came here to admire them."

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "I didn't realize that a monk would be so obsessed with the beauty of peach blossoms."
