My enemies became my companions

Chapter 322 There is absolutely no possibility of a private affair! (asking for monthly tickets)

"Mother, look at Captain Chen, he is a handsome man. But now that you have not found a Taoist partner, why don't you find him? He would be a good son-in-law in the palace."

After celebrating the birthday, the princess went to Yin Weiying’s boudoir and asked softly.

While the princess was speaking, her personal maid Qinglan was packing things for Princess Jing.

Princess Jing's boudoir is in perfect order, but that doesn't mean it doesn't need to be cleaned. The maid Qinglan comes over every month to clean up the dust and wipe the drawers.

There were many hairpins in the drawer, some carved with cranes, some with phoenixes, and some inlaid with gold and jade. These were the birthday gifts that the princess gave to her daughter every year. However, after King Jing's daughter became a nun, she often wore a hair crown, so these hairpins were left in the drawer and gathered dust.

Facing this mother with a face full of concern, Yin Weiying remained calm and said in a clear voice:
"The matter of cultivating immortals with Taoist companions is related to the path to becoming an immortal, and cannot be ignored lightly. Besides, doesn't Captain Chen have an old grudge against our palace?"

"Alas, that can't be said. The palace and he have been living in peace for a long time. Today he came to congratulate the birthday in person, which means that they have forgotten their grudges. In addition, mother thinks that he looks decent and has good martial arts skills. It won't be long before he is granted a title of nobility. He is really a good son-in-law."

The princess's voice was full of praise, and Yin Weiying listened to it, his eyes moving up and down.

She said nothing.

The princess shook her head and sighed:
"If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to find it again. Today your father is happy, and we can forget all grudges with a smile. From now on, all grudges will be gone."

Yin Weiying's expression changed slightly.

Did her mother...really like Chen Yi? Could her father really let bygones be bygones?

Originally Yin Weiying had been worried about this matter for a long time, but when he heard his mother's words, his originally tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

Moreover, my mind was slightly drifting.

Now that she saw that Wuming liked her a little, it seemed like a good idea to strike while the iron was hot and ask him to agree to the marriage.

By then, she would have become the legitimate wife, and would be superior to his girlfriend.

In this way, his status would be elevated. If he wanted to become an immortal, then Wuming would not be able to stop him no matter what he said...

As his mind wandered, Yin Weiying couldn't help but think of the bright red dress draped over him, and the groom Chen Yi in front of him slowly unveiling his red veil...

Imagining this, Yin Weiying's fingertips trembled slightly.

She couldn't help but think, she...was going to be with Wuming for the rest of her life as his wife?
The more the nun thought about it, the more her fingertips trembled, and fear swept through her heart.

After a while, she calmed down and said, "Mother, a Taoist couple depends on fate. You can't go against fate. If you force it, what's the difference between it and a cauldron? If I choose him, I'm just choosing a cauldron."

The words fell calmly, and the princess was stunned.

No matter how the princess thought about it, she could not have imagined that her daughter would say such words. She was a dignified official in charge of the Zhige Division and a captain of the Western Factory. She had also made great contributions in saving the emperor. She would be a very famous person no matter where she was. She never thought that Yin Weiying would look down on her at all. When he compared her to a cauldron, he was so bold...

After she practiced Taoism, her horizons became broader and broader.

Unlike mortals like them, who are blinded by a single leaf.

The princess felt proud and emotional at the same time.

King Jing greeted the guests who came to celebrate his birthday and temporarily retreated to a side room. Then he paced around anxiously.

He didn't want to be anxious about this matter, but for some reason, he couldn't stop being anxious after Chen Yi arrived at the palace.

"Could it be that... Wei Ying really has a secret affair with this guy?"

The thought flashed through his mind, but King Jing quickly interrupted it.
"No way, absolutely impossible."

Just when King Jing was anxious, the princess came in and told King Jing what Yin Weiying had said. King Jing slapped his thigh and said:
"She is really my daughter! If ordinary families thought of their daughter marrying into the Marquis's mansion, wouldn't they regard it as a great event that would make their ancestors' graves smoke up? Wei Ying is different, really different. With such courage, if we really wanted to marry her to that man, we would not only humiliate her, but also honor Captain Chen!"

Putting aside the fact that Yin Weiying was the goddess of Taihua and there was still a rift between her and their parents, let alone Captain Chen, who had always been a grudge against them?
King Jing walked around excitedly and said in a cold voice: "You can't marry her. You absolutely can't marry her. Even if you marry her, you have to divorce Chen Yi."

The princess frowned when she saw this scene. She saw that Chen Yi was actually quite satisfied, so she said:
"Let's wait and see. I have to try out his musicality."

After hearing this, King Jing nodded heavily, and the princess stepped out.

Although Yin Weiying's words were bold, in the final analysis, he still had to disprove these rumors, so the princess pretended to match them up, and King Jing agreed. Not only that, but he also tested him in three aspects.

One is music.

Taoism places great emphasis on music, and Yin Weiying has also been fond of music since childhood. If she could fall in love with Chen Yi, then this boy would most likely make some achievements in music.

The second is poetry.

Although Yin Weiying wrote more poems and verses after practicing Taoism, he still had some accomplishments in poetry. If she could fall in love with Chen Yi, then this boy would most likely surpass all others in poetry.

As for the third, it is martial arts.

This third test was actually used to fill in the gaps, or to make the final confirmation. As for martial arts, everyone knew that Captain Chen had already been included in the Spring and Autumn Annals, so the significance of the test was very small. It was just that if he passed the first two tests, but Yin Weiying did not admit it, then through this last round of tests, the truth would be revealed. You passed all three tests, and you must be in high spirits. Why don't you ask for the daughter of King Jing in public?

If this person is truly a master of both civil and military skills, and if he really has a secret relationship with Yin Weiying,

King Jing...

He just ran headfirst into Chen Zunming's knife and died!
King Jing was determined to keep his word and wanted to rush out to ask Chen Yi to pull out the knife and put it away. Not long after, there were some footsteps outside the house.

King Jing hurried over and saw the princess walk in.

"How is it?" King Jing asked hurriedly.

"This Qian Hu has no knowledge of music at all," the princess shook her head and told King Jing the result of the test. "The zither girl played the wrong notes several times and almost smashed the zither, but the man didn't even move his head."

King Jing snorted coldly and said, "He is indeed a good-for-nothing. With his talent, how can he be compared to Wei Ying? Even if he is granted the title of Duke or Marquis in the future, he will still be a rough man."

The princess shook her head and said, "You can't say that. Maybe he is afraid of being exposed. Someone secretly listened to his conversation with other scholars. This man talked about a lot of Tang and Song poems. He didn't look like a rough man. He didn't move at all when there was such an obvious mistake in rhythm. Maybe he is very good at hiding his shortcomings, and..."

"And what?" asked King Jing.

The princess lowered her voice and said, "Also, the maid next to him kept looking back, even turning away the slightest mistake. Your Majesty, think about it, with such a maid, how could he not understand music? He hid it too well."

King Jing's face darkened slightly. He knew that what the princess said was possible. Moreover, when Chen Yi was working for the Lin Party, he had hidden himself very well. Now, it would not be a problem for him to hide his shortcomings in music.

"Then continue to test him. If Wei Ying really takes a fancy to him, I will immediately run into his sword and die!" Perhaps because he felt that he was not determined enough, King Jing emphasized: "I will never live in humiliation."

The princess smiled sweetly and slowly retreated.

...........................

Chen Yi, on his part, had no idea that he had gone through a round of musical tests.

To him, nothing actually happened.

He was invited by the servants of Prince Jing's Mansion to a private room. Chen Yi originally thought there might be danger there, but there was none at all. There was only a maid playing the piano non-stop.

"She plays the piano so badly." After the maid left, Yin Tingxue commented in a low voice.

Chen Yi scratched his head and asked back, "Really?"

Yin Tingxue blinked her eyes, realizing that her husband knew a lot of poetry and had read a lot of books, but he was not good at music or poetry, and she didn't know how he had acquired these abilities. She really wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she didn't have the courage to do so.

She whispered in an indirect way: "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu."

After hearing this, Chen Yi laughed and said, "Are you praising me?"

Seeing that he didn't realize her mockery, Yin Tingxue pointed at herself and said, "I'm praising myself."

Before Chen Yi had the chance to scare her, there was a knock on the door.

The maid asked them to go out to the poetry writing venue. Yin Tingxue looked eager to try, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Yi did not refuse her, so he stood up and led her to the venue.

With so many guests attending the gathering, the venue of the poetry gathering was divided into three parts. Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue were led to the main venue. When they arrived there, they saw King Jing and his wife sitting on the main throne. Beside them was the young eldest son. As for Yin Weiying...

Chen Yi turned his eyes and saw her sitting alone on the other side. Yin Weiying was wearing a green robe with fire patterns, sipping tea leisurely. Her every move gave off a sense of otherworldliness, as if she was a fairy who had descended to earth but remained untainted by the mundane world.

He saw Yin Weiying, and Yin Weiying naturally saw him too, but she just glanced at him indifferently and then looked away.

King Jing observed the scene and found nothing wrong, so he nodded with satisfaction.

The princess thought about it, stood up, walked over to the eldest daughter and asked:

"What do you think of the gentlemen here?"

"They are all mortal, and only a few are worthy of our attention."

Yin Weiying held the tea bowl in one hand and raised it slightly. It seemed that the glaze on the tea bowl was more eye-catching than the young men at the meeting.

The princess listened and pointed at Chen Yi and asked tentatively:
"So...what do you think of that person?"

Yin Weiying raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is that? He looks familiar..."

"It's... Captain Chen, you should have met him." said the princess.

"Oh, it turned out to be him," Yin Weiying smiled as he recalled the past, "It's been too long, and we weren't close, so I can't remember what he looked like."

After saying that, she continued to sip her tea calmly.

Seeing this, the princess nodded slightly and stepped back.

King Jing held his knees and lowered his voice:

"I said that it is impossible for this person to have a private relationship with Wei Ying."

How will this meeting with my parents go?

Tell me your inspirations and I'll copy them for you.
