My enemies became my companions

Chapter 279 You Give Me Your Girlfriend's Position (Additional Two-in-One)

The end of the year is approaching, only about thirty days away. Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and the days of snow in the capital have become more frequent. After dark, Yin Tingxue sat on the doorstep and could still see the lights of pavilions and towers of wealthy people in the distance, looming in the night.

There was a curfew at night, but even so, many places in the capital were bustling with people. On the pleasure boats and brothels, scholars and wealthy men enjoyed the night view with beauties, listened to poetry and songs, played drinking games, and drank wine. It was so lively near the end of the year, and when the Lantern Festival came, the whole capital would be boiling.

However, in those days, a lot of the joy at night was for men and had nothing to do with women. Nearly half of the women in the capital stayed at home and rarely showed up in public. Most of the time they could kill time at home was embroidery and needlework. In a large courtyard with high walls, a family of women and their maids would sit together, embroidering lotus flowers and chatting, until it was late and they would go to sleep in their clothes.

Yin Tingxue held her face and waited quietly for Chen Yi to come home. She didn't feel bored at all. If she really couldn't do it, she would read some miscellaneous books. She could often read for a whole day. It was because of this that Chen Yi felt that she was actually lonely without knowing it.

The little fox didn't feel anything, but Yin Weiying was different. She came to the yard early this morning and stayed there for almost the entire day. During the day, she either walked around or sat down and waited. She didn't dare to leave. If she left and was caught by Chen Yi who entered the palace, she, the daughter of King Jing, would completely lose face. She was bored, but she still didn't dare to step out of the yard.

Today's events were truly dangerous for the nun. Queen An had come in disguise for a private visit and knew everything she had said in the Jin Ya Pavilion. Yin Weiying recalled the situation at that time and was still frightened until now. She didn't know whether the final outcome could be considered as a light one.

Speaking of which, there were no outsiders in Jin Ya Pavilion. The nun remembered that there were only her, Dong Gong Ruo Shu and Lu Ying chatting at that time, and none of them looked like people from the palace. If she thought about it this way, was there a spy from the palace planted around one of them?
Yin Weiying didn't dare to think about it any further. Some things, just thinking about them, could bring trouble to him.

In the final analysis, she was really unlucky now. She was unlucky in everything. Looking back at the past twenty years, everything had gone so smoothly. Even the bottleneck of cultivation, which was the most troublesome for ordinary Taoists, was easily broken by her as if it were flat ground. But after meeting Chen Yi... everything came to an end.

That man was simply her destined evil star.

The nun's legs trembled just thinking about it. She walked to the threshold and asked softly:
"Isn't he back yet?"

"I don't know, maybe soon." Yin Tingxue looked up at the daughter of King Jing, thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Weiying...are you going to stay overnight again tonight?"

After hearing these words, Yin Weiying froze for a moment, sighed, and nodded heavily.

"I…I don't want to stay in this yard."

The crown girl spat out the words:

"Sometimes I admire you for being able to be at ease in this yard."

For Yin Weiying, even if Chen Yi was not around, she felt heavy staying in this yard. She still remembered that night when Chen Yi either stacked her and Tingxue together or supported each other. She was tormented to death and her Taoist practice of more than ten years was taken away. She could not fall asleep until late at night, not only because she felt uncomfortable, but also because of her fear of him.

But it was the person she feared the most, the one who, with the ignorance in his heart, played with her body at will and tasted her.

In the second half of the night, after finally falling asleep, Yin Weiying had another nightmare and fell off the bed to the ground. She subconsciously touched her hip and felt pain in it.

Yin Tingxue looked out the gate and continued:

"It's not that I'm complacent... I'm just used to it. I've always been afraid of him."

The nun listened and couldn't help but say:

"He treats you better than he treats me... you'll get used to it."

It might sound a bit annoying to say this, but Yin Tingxue never cared about it. She felt sympathy for her as she was also a princess.

After thinking for a while, Yin Tingxue saw that the nun was bored, so she changed the subject and said, "There's nothing to do, why don't we play pot tossing?"

Tou Hu is a game in which a small blunt-tipped arrow is thrown into a pot from a distance of several meters. It is played by both men and women and is a small pastime for the women in the inner courts of many wealthy families. Its popularity is second only to leaf cards and mahjong.

Yin Weiying had been bored for a long time, and it was impossible for him to concentrate on his practice in this courtyard, so he agreed. The little fox then brought out a two-handled pottery pot from the utility room, which was painted with brightly colored camellias, peonies, chrysanthemums, and a dozen small arrows, one foot wide, were brought to Yin Weiying.

Just as the nun was about to take it, she was moved and said quietly, "Tingxue, you said... just playing pot tossing seems boring, how about we add some extra ingredients and have a gamble?"

Yin Tingxue tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What are you betting on?"

"So... aren't you and him boyfriend and girlfriend?"

When they were in the Lotus World, Yin Weiying heard some of the conversation between the two, and even heard Chen Yi call Yin Tingxue his girlfriend, and the latter called him her boyfriend.

The nun didn't want to be taken advantage of by him. It would be unbearable for her to have her more than ten years of hard training go to waste. The only way she could think of now was to make him like her. From what the Xiang prince's daughter said, he would sometimes be soft-hearted towards the people he liked.

"Well...what's wrong?" Yin Tingxue was a little confused.

After all, Yin Weiying was a few years older than the girl, and she had a quick mind. She guessed that the so-called "boyfriend and girlfriend" was definitely not as simple as just friends, and only this little fox would believe it.

So, she bent forward and said slowly:
"I beat you, you give me your girlfriend position."

There was an indescribable quietness to Yin Weiying's voice, like that of a concubine in the deep palace who was vying for favor intentionally or unintentionally.

The little fox scratched her head. She roughly understood Sister Weiying's psychology and sympathized with this cousin. However, even if she wanted to, she didn't dare to give up this position.

What's more, she didn't want to give in. After becoming Chen Yi's girlfriend, he treated her much better.

Yin Tingxue politely declined:

"He can have more than one girlfriend. He can have many girlfriends."

The nun was unwilling to give in. She dared to make such a suggestion only when Chen Yi was not around. Now that she had said it, she had to seize the opportunity. She gently grasped Yin Tingxue's shoulders and said:
"But I am not liked by him."

"Then you liked him first?" Yin Tingxue asked subconsciously.

The nun frowned her pretty brows. Under the candlelight, her silhouette was reflected on the paper window. Logically speaking, she was more attractive than the daughter of Prince Xiang. Her graceful figure was not comparable to that of the poor girl. She had an even more extraordinary temperament. Although they were both equally beautiful, if they stood together, the nun would definitely be more eye-catching.

But Chen Yi likes Yin Tingxue.

Princess Jing snorted coldly: "It's useless to like him, why should I like him..."

Yin Tingxue was soft-hearted and felt sympathy for what she heard. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "Then if you beat me, I will recommend you... as a filial and honest official?"

The female priestess found this funny, but after thinking for a while, she finally agreed and said, "Let's make a deal. If I beat you, you will say good things to me. Also, 'selecting filial and honest people'... this word is not used correctly, but never mind. You just say good things to me. When I become your girlfriend, I will also say good things to you. Okay, okay... maybe he will like me more than you in the future."

Yin Weiying finished this long paragraph in one breath, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and the little fox couldn't help laughing. She put the small arrows in Yin Weiying's hand, a total of five.

The fine snow fluttered down and soaked the small courtyard. Some snow spots appeared on the two-handled clay pot. The Yin brothers started to play pot-throwing in the courtyard.

Suddenly an arrow fell and hit Yin Tingxue right in the center of the two-ear pot.

It was Princess Jing's turn. She pursed her lips and threw the arrow.

The arrow flew in an arc and just brushed the edge of the pot.

It was not until this moment that Yin Weiying suddenly woke up and wondered how long it had been since he had played the game of tossing pots.
I don’t know…I seem to have never encountered it since I started practicing Taoism.

And Yin Tingxue had already thrown another small arrow.

The small arrow landed in the left ear of the pottery pot, and with a clang, it brought Princess Jing back to reality.

Sweat broke out on Yin Weiying's palms, but he gritted his teeth and threw another arrow.

This arrow missed again. She tried to control the strength when she was preparing, but when she threw it, she suddenly lost some strength. The nun turned pale.

She was frightened for no reason.

Yin Tingxue was concentrating on playing and didn't notice her panic, so he shot another arrow.

The arrow hit the right ear of the pottery pot. It was three arrows hit in a row, and all three holes were hit, which is called "hitting the ears in succession".

Yin Tingxue has already won.

Realizing this, Yin Weiying pursed her lips unconsciously. She looked at the happy little fox and felt very uncomfortable. If the little fox was not younger than her, she would have cried in front of him.

After a long while, Yin Weiying shook the small arrow in his hand and said, "Come again, come again, two out of three wins."

Yin Tingxue did not refuse: "Okay."

The snow seemed to be heavier, falling like rice in the south of the Yangtze River. The night sky was hazy and low. When it snowed, there were no stars in the sky.

The two girls picked up the small arrows and started throwing them into the pot again.

There were more clanging sounds, and soon the winner was decided.

Da Yin lost again, hitting only two of the five arrows, while Xiao Yin hit four of the five arrows.

Princess Jing felt extremely depressed. She was so unlucky. She had been defeated ever since she met him. Not to mention being defeated by him, even being defeated by Min Ning was fine. Why was she being defeated even when playing a game with Yin Tingxue?

She pushed the small arrow back into Yin Tingxue's hand and said, "Forget it. I don't want to play with him anymore. I won't be his girlfriend anymore."

Seeing this, Yin Tingxue was about to say something when she heard footsteps outside the door.

Chen Yi and Zhou Yitong walked into the yard one after another.

Chen Yi raised his head and saw Yin and Yin Xiao in the yard. He remembered that today was a day off.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yi asked.

"Playing pitch pot." Yin Tingxue replied.

Chen Yi saw Yin Weiying hand the small arrow back to Yin Tingxue, so he asked, "Don't want to play anymore?"

Yin Weiying shuddered when he glanced at her. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yin Tingxue replied, "Sister Wei Ying said she doesn't want to play anymore."

Chen Yi said "Oh", and then looked at the female priest again.

Yin Weiying shrank back, lowered her head slightly, and turned away.

Chen Yi walked over and casually twisted the ends of her hair.

"Very quiet, I've been waiting for almost a day."

Yin Weiying let him twist her hair, and murmured shyly and fearfully: "Come if you want."

"Then take a bath with me tonight." Chen Yi patted her.

Yin Weiying blushed, but didn't dare to say "no".

When she came to this yard, she would let him do whatever he wanted to her like a concubine.

Chen Yi started a fire and boiled water. The water boiling room was separate from the bathroom. In early winter, the water was more likely to get cold, so the water had to be kept boiling. When the water in the bathroom got cold, he would go to the water boiling room to get new hot water, pour it in, and it would be warm again.

After pouring in hot water and touching the large bathtub to confirm the water temperature, Chen Yi stepped in.

Before Chen Yi could let out a long breath, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Chen Yi said.

Yin Weiying held onto the wall and moved in step by step. In the mist, she looked at the man in the bathtub, her face flushed.

"Don't be so shy." Chen Yi said casually.

Hearing this, Yin Weiying gritted her teeth and slowly took off her clothes. She hung her light green Taoist robe and azure long skirt on the hanger. She was wearing a plain bellyband and tight thin pants, with a graceful figure. She carefully removed the偃月冠 in her hair, and her cascading hair fell down. Chen Yi leaned against the bathtub and watched. Yin Weiying's face was flushed, but she didn't have the courage to ask him to look away.

Seeing her slowly walking towards him wearing a bellyband, Chen Yi asked with amusement: "Just wash like this?"

The nun shuddered, her face showing humiliation, her lips humming. She was clearly unwilling, but in the end she couldn't say no. She moved her fingertips slightly, and under Chen Yi's full gaze, she slowly stepped into the bathtub.

Chen Yi held her in his arms.

Her slightly fragile back fell into his arms and trembled slightly. Chen Yixu enjoyed the full control over her.

Yin Weiying didn't say anything. She frowned, breathed heavily, and her whole body was stiff.

"Have you been waiting for a whole day?" After hugging for a while, Chen Yi suddenly asked.

Princess Jing said: "What else..."

After Chen Yi recalled for a moment, he asked, "The Queen Mother said she wanted to sentence you to death?"

Yin Weiying shuddered, and her body rippled. She murmured, "Of course, it was… Master Tongxuan who told you that?"

"Hmm..." Chen Yi put his chin to her ear, enjoying her warmth, and said with empty eyes: "If there is such a thing again, tell me."

Yin Weiying looked at him in surprise.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "I am your...husband after all. No matter how I treat you, I still have to do these things."

Yin Weiying was silent for a long time and then said, "What if I was wrong first?"

"Help your relatives first, then help the justice." Chen Yi replied as a matter of course.

Yin Weiying turned his head and slid down a little, with half of his face buried in the water, and bubbles gurgling out of the water.

Chen Yi found it funny, so he raised his hand and popped the blister.

After teasing her like this for a while, Chen Yi couldn't wait any longer. He licked his lips slightly, sank his hands into the water, and hooked up her feet.
