Chapter 453: Chapter 453, unraveling the exquisite chess game

Lu Weiyang walked out of the abbot’s courtyard with the Buddhist beads. Neon saw Lu Weiyang coming over from afar and said, “I’ve finally found you. I was so worried. Where have you been?”

Lu Weiyang spun the Buddhist beads and said, “I just played chess with the abbot of this temple.”

Neon asked, “Do the abbots here still know how to play chess? It’s time to go back.”

Lu Weiyang said, “Wait for me a little longer. Just now, I donated so much silver to Bodhisattva, but I still haven’t made a wish. Wouldn’t that be even worse?”

Lu Weiyang entered the temple again, he worshiped the bodhisattva in front of him sincerely and said, “Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the suffering, on account of the fact that the fairies have donated so much gold, you must bless the Peace of the great Tang Empire. Father, mother, grandmother, brother, grandmother, grandfather’s health…”

Qiao Nihong waited for Lu Weiyang to make a wish by the side. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Weiyang’s wish had yet to be fulfilled.

Qiao Nihong said softly to Lu Weiyang, “Alright, if you continue to make a wish, bodhisattva will be annoyed to death.”

Lu Weiyang smiled faintly and said, “I have spent so much silver, I will definitely make a full wish.”

She picked up the fortune-teller again and a fortune-teller fell out from the fortune-teller. Lu Weiyang went to the side of the little novice monk to exchange for the fortune-teller. He saw that the words ‘fierce’were written on it.

Lu Weiyang frowned. “Second Brother is lying. Yuanxi temple is not effective at all.”

After saying that, Lu Weiyang threw the fortune-teller on the ground.

Qiao Nihong looked at the poem written on it. “I once thought that amorous feelings would harm the Buddhist practice, but once I entered the mountain, I was afraid that I would be able to turn the city upside down. The world is safe, and I will not let down the Tathagata.”

When Qiao Nihong saw the poem, she recalled that there was a princess who fell in love with a monk in the great ancestor’s era. The monk was sentenced to death, and the princess plotted a rebellion and eventually became crazy.

Could it be that Lu Weiyang also fell in love with a monk?

Qiao Nihong shook her head as she thought about it. Perhaps she was thinking too much. Perhaps there was another meaning behind this poem.

In the abbot’s courtyard.

Lu ang entered and asked, “Master Ling Xuan? Why are you here?”

Master Ling Xuan was not the abbot of the Yuan Xi Temple, but the abbot of the Prime Minister Temple. With the rise of Buddhism among the people, the Prime Minister Temple became the National Temple, and Master Ling Xuan was conferred the title of National Master two years ago.

Ling Xuan looked away from the chessboard and said, “Your Highness, I was invited by Master Tong Ming to play chess today.”

Lu ang looked at the chessboard in front of Ling Xuan, then at the black piece that Ling Xuan was holding, and asked curiously, “You actually have a time to lose?”

Ling Xuan said, “Today, I know that there is always someone better than me. The female benefactor who plays chess with me looks to be at the age of marriageable age, and the first move she made in Tian Yuan won half an eye, which shows her superb chess skills.”

“The person who played Tianyuan in the first move should be my sister. If you lost to her, it wouldn’t be too bad. An ordinary chess master wouldn’t be able to win against her when she was holding a white stone.”Lu Ang looked at the chess game carefully, “It really looks like it’s her.”

Ling Xuan said, “So it’s her highness the Princess.”

..

Everyone knew that Lu Weiyang had returned to Chang ‘an, but the number of people who had seen Princess Weiyang’s appearance could be counted on one hand.

However, those who had young talents in their families were all afraid that Princess Weiyang would choose her husband.

The princess’reputation was already extremely bad. Even if her husband could enter the imperial court and rely on the princess to obtain a bright future, there were still very few people who were willing to be her husband.

After Weiyang received the Buddha Bead, she wore it on her body. Although she had thrown away the signing document, she was still a little afraid that it would come true.

Putting the Buddha bead on her body might save her from some bloody disaster.

Today, neon came to find her to play again. Neon promised that she would not let Weiyang spend money today, so she sent Weiyang to the Marquis’mansion in an yuan.

Weiyang had not seen her maternal grandmother for a long time. She was very happy to see her maternal grandmother. What was even happier was that her maternal grandmother gave her two big red packets.

“Thank you, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother.”

Zheng xiao laughed and said, “You have grown so much. You have not been in Chang ‘an all these years. You should have fun in Chang ‘an. The marriage between your two brothers has been decided. You…”

Weiyang said, “Maternal grandmother, I am still young. I am not in a hurry to find the Prince Consort.”

Zheng xiao nodded and said, “Yes, there is no hurry to find him.”

Left and Right Wei Yang was the only eldest princess and His Majesty’s only sister. There were too many choices for marriage. There was no need to worry about finding a husband.

Moreover, Wei Yang looked so good. Why would he worry about not finding a husband?

Wei Yang smiled. “I think grandmother should be worried about cousin. Next year, cousin Nichang and brother Qian Yu are going to get married, but cousin Nichang hasn’t decided on a marriage yet!”

Qiao Nichang glanced at Wei Yang. This little princess must be seeking revenge for spending a large sum of silver at the Yuanxi Temple a few days ago.

Zheng Xiao said, “Today, I’ve asked you to come precisely for this matter. I plan to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation poetry meet in the mansion in a few days and invite all the young talents of Chang ‘an. You two can also see if there’s a man you like.”

Nihon and Weiyang did not need to worry about their husbands, but because their positions were too high, the men did not dare to rashly come and propose marriage.

It was better to let them choose one that they liked first. Then, even if the woman went to propose marriage, what harm would it do?

Weiyang did not want to disappoint her grandmother’s good intentions, so she agreed. However, she did not have the slightest intention of finding a prince consort. If she found a prince consort who knew how to spend money, she was afraid that she would suffocate every day.

After Weiyang left the marquis an Yuan’s manor, she did not allow the servant girls to follow her to the main street.

The shouts along the main street were all things that women loved. Along the way, there were quite a few vendors. Most of the women would not be able to endure not spending money.

However, Weiyang really endured it and did not spend a single silver tael.

Weiyang held a Buddha Pearl in her hand. When she passed by a vendor, she saw a group of people surrounding her. She also went over to watch the commotion.

She saw an old man placing a go manual in front of her. People kept giving her five cents to solve the game. Basically, she lost the entire game.

Wei Yang looked for a woman who was watching the show and asked, “Sister, what are you doing here?”

“Little girl, don’t you know? This is a remnant game, also known as the exquisite go game. This game is said to be a remnant game set up by the number one Go player, Imperial Preceptor Ling Xuan. Until now, no one in the world has been able to solve it.

“Five coins per game. If you can solve this remnant game, you will get five taels of silver if you win. If you can’t win this five coins, you won’t be able to get it back.”

Wei Yang looked at the go game and was eager to go forward. However, she didn’t want to spend five coins. If she was asked to take out silver, even if it was just five coins, she would feel her heart ache. It was really painful.

“Master Ling Xuan is really the number one saint in the world. In today’s go world, no one is better than him.”

“Who said that?”Wei Yang said unwillingly, “This chess piece is just so-so. Is it worthy of being called a rare chess game? Great Tang is full of talents. This chess piece is not the number one expert, right?”
