My enemies became my companions

Chapter 326: The Fairy Is Aroused (Two Chapters in One)

A lively birthday celebration and poetry reading eventually evolved into an engagement between two women and one man. No matter how you think about it, even if it is not a good story, it is still a shocking event.

It should be noted that the whole process is full of twists and turns, which is rare. It won’t be long, or even before tomorrow, before the news spreads from Prince Jing’s Mansion to half of the capital.

As for King Jing, he was so overjoyed that he could not bear the shock for a moment and became ill. He was supported by the princess and returned to the inner courtyard to rest.

Chen Yi and the three Yin brothers were naturally also in the inner courtyard. After learning that his father was fine and was just a little angry, Yin Weiying slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was quietly at ease.

"Is this matter...over?" Yin Weiying said to himself in disbelief.

Chen Yi laughed back and said, "He hasn't offered me tea yet."

The nun glanced at him in panic, her hands clenched, her eyes filled with nervousness.

Chen Yi calmed down and said:
"For your sake, I can be as polite as possible, but it is only natural for the father-in-law to serve tea to the son-in-law during the engagement."

According to the engagement customs of Dayu, the father-in-law and the son-in-law should offer tea and wine to each other.

Yin Weiying breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved and said angrily, "You don't have to scare me like this. Even if you don't scare me, I'll still be afraid of you."

The fairy lady spoke in a calm voice, and her angry look was like the gentle ripples on the water, especially when she glanced at me from the side, the hint of criticism in her eyes was truly touching.

Chen Yi was about to say something when he saw the princess walking out slowly.

The princess stopped in front of the three people, then looked at Chen Yi deeply, smiled when she glanced at Yin Weiying, and then looked at Yin Tingxue.

"This must be... the daughter of the King of Xiang." The princess looked at Yin Tingxue's face and said, "The Queen Mother mentioned her to me. She is indeed a beauty. She is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If possible, I really want you to be my daughter."

Yin Tingxue smiled shyly and said softly:
"Long time no see, Aunt Li."

The princess was stunned for a moment. She turned her head slightly and blinked, as if wondering where she had seen Yin Tingxue before.

Chen Yi saw this scene.

The princess did not want to lose face, so she was about to turn around and smile, saying, "So it's you."

But at this time, Yin Tingxue took the lead and asked:

"Aunt Li, don't you recognize me?"

The princess was a little embarrassed, but having said that, she had no choice but to admit:

"I'm old, and my memory is too bad. Logically, I should have recognized him. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to Captain Chen."

This conversation with Yin Tingxue was just a small episode, and the princess's gaze returned to Chen Yi.

"I have heard of Captain Chen's great name for a long time. The last time I entered the palace, the Queen Mother mentioned you many times. Now I see that you are indeed a handsome and suave man. I think you will undoubtedly be a good son-in-law."

Chen Yi then bowed and said:

"Princess, you are too kind. Now that you are engaged to Wei Ying, can you just forget about the past from now on?"

"I couldn't ask for more. Even though the prince has a lot of resentment towards you, he also respects you in his heart. As a woman, I think that apart from you, there is no other good man in the capital that I can trust."

The princess now had a bit of the feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. She turned her head, looked at Yin Weiying and whispered:

"After marriage, even though you are the goddess of Taihua, you still have to treat her well. The most taboo thing between husband and wife is to treat each other with respect. Even if you fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, it is better than treating each other with respect.

The so-called respect for each other is for others to see. In the eyes of others, you and your spouse are polite to each other, but in private, it is better to be closer and not to think about cultivating immortality. "

Yin Weiying remained calm despite the princess's repeated words, making it hard to tell whether she had heard them or not.

After the princess left and went back to take care of King Jing, Yin Weiying still maintained her fairy-like demeanor. She said calmly:

"Do you want to visit the palace?"

When she showed this indifferent and detached look, Chen Yi really wanted to make her roll her eyes.

Resisting the urge to pinch her waist, Chen Yi said:

"Then just take a walk."

How could Yin Weiying not agree? She nodded, holding the whisk and leading the way, while Chen Yi followed behind holding the little fox's hand.

There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, rippling like water waves. The courtyards and gardens were lined up in a faint light. Men of letters and ladies were coming and going, changing into green or yellow clothes. The wind was chilly, and the lake not far away was emitting a fluffy and bright glow.

The nun said they were going to take a walk, so she really did. She only took Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue for a walk, seeing all the pavilions, stone carvings and jade railings along the way. She neither stopped for long nor introduced anything. She just left Chen Yi to look around. It was nothing like when Yin Tingxue took him to visit Prince Xiang's mansion.

After walking around for an unknown amount of time, they finally stopped. The three of them settled in a water pavilion with slightly upturned eaves, stacked green tiles, and sandalwood railings on both sides. There was a stone table on the pavilion. The view from the water pavilion was wide, and the mottled lake surface could be seen in full view, with the cold moon against the lake surface. Turning around, they could see a courtyard not far away. This water pavilion was very close to Yin Weiying's boudoir.

Chen Yi sat beside the stone table. The engagement was not a lie. Even if King Jing wanted to go back on his word, he would still have to save King Jing's face in the end. King Jing could not stop Yin Weiying, so he could only swallow his anger in the end. The only possibility was that Chen Yi would also go back on his word. However, things had come to this point, and it would be too cruel for him to go back on his word.

As for the Queen Mother's arranged marriage, Chen Yi didn't take it seriously at all.
And since Yin Weiying wants to marry me, then let her marry me. It's all the same anyway.

Thinking casually in his mind, Chen Yi turned his head to look at the nun. She was sitting quietly, while the little fox put her hands on her knees. Both women were very quiet.

With the beauty by his side, Chen Yixin felt a little calmer.

The three of them sat quietly by the lake for a long time, without saying anything, but enjoying the lake view, their hearts felt cool, and all their anxiety faded away, and fine snow fell from the distant sky.

White spots fell on the lake and melted in an instant, ripples spread out, and the microwaves pushed one circle after another. If the girl was like a flower that bloomed in an instant, then the nun was the ripples under the snow, sparkling and clear.

The two girls were sitting beside him. Even if he didn't look at them, Chen Yi's heart felt like a rushing stream of clear water.

After a long while, Chen Yi spoke:

"Why did you agree to marry me then?"

Yin Weiying tilted his eyes slightly and pursed his lips, as if he didn't know where to start.

When Yin Tingxue saw this, she helped to ease the situation a little and said:
"Speaking of which, Sister Weiying...why did you bring me along?"

The reason for asking this was, firstly, to help Yin Weiying out of trouble, and secondly, the little fox himself was also confused and agreed to the engagement in a daze.

When Xiao Yin asked, Da Yin was not so nervous. She eased some of her fear and said in a gentle voice:

"You recommend me a filial and honest official, and I will follow suit and recommend one for you."

Yin Tingxue blinked in surprise. She instinctively felt that the nun was not telling the truth.

Seeing her ears moving, Yin Weiying felt uneasy. She turned around and saw Chen Yi asking meaningfully, "Oh? Really?"

Yin Weiying's face froze for a moment, and he finally said in a frustrated tone:

"I... I was afraid that you might change your mind and not agree at the last minute, so I took her with me..."

"I knew you had bad intentions." Chen Yi sneered, but gently stroked her cascading hair.

When he touched her, Yin Weiying shrank back sensitively but did not move away.

Chen Yi held up her hair and combed it slowly in his hands. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You really want to marry me?"

After Yin Weiying heard this, he thought he was unhappy, so he turned around and said nervously:

"You...you really want me to be your cauldron for the rest of my life?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had misunderstood, and laughed:

"Does it mean that being a wife doesn't make me a cauldron anymore?"

Yin Weiying's face turned slightly pale. She knew that Chen Yi would not let her go like this, and she felt secretly bitter.

So-called wife or concubine, in the end, aren't they still his women, and he can do whatever he wants with them. Such a lawless person even dares to contradict the empress dowager, not to mention the secular view that a wife is more valuable than a concubine.

The cold moon was in front of him, the waves were shattering, and Yin Weiying's eyes dimmed. He worked hard for a long time and hesitated for a long time, but in the end the result was still the same, there was no change, which really made people feel powerless.

She just looked at the lake quietly, watching the snow melt into the water, and after a long while she said quietly:
"No matter what I am like, you don't like me. If you don't like me, why keep me hanging? You should have just said it earlier."

"But I like it."

Yin Weiying paused, his pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his head away somewhat hesitantly.

Chen Yi didn't look at her, and continued to comb her hair gently. After a long time, he said:

"I told you before that you have to work hard to make me like you. Now... I really like you."

Her fingertips trembled slightly and her thin lips pursed as if she wanted to say something. Her joy spread like ripples on the water. At this time, snow was falling.

After a long while, she finally realized that she had misunderstood the meaning of "Will you really marry me?"

Yin Weiying turned his head away from him and snorted coldly:

"I am your Dinglu. If I don't marry you, who else can I marry?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she, who had always been confused, thought, was she marrying a wife or a Taoist partner? Although similar, they were also worlds apart. She hoped it was the latter, but he was never willing to give in on the matter of becoming an immortal. At this moment, she inexplicably felt sad, and her tone became weaker afterwards.

The snow was falling heavier than before.

A wife's job is just to give birth to children, but a Taoist companion needs someone who shares the same path as him. Yin Weiying had so many things on his mind that he couldn't really make sense of it.

And Chen Yi didn't say anything either.

Yin Tingxue, who had been a light bulb at the side for who knows how long, looked left and right, and when she saw that the two had nothing to say to each other for a while, she felt something was wrong.

So, she tried to mediate:

"That is to say, now Chen Yi likes Sister Wei Ying, right?"

The girl was very thoughtful and called Chen Yi by his name instead of calling him husband, in order to create an atmosphere that the two of them would be a couple for life.

Chen Yi glanced at Yin Tingxue, then nodded and said:
"I really like it, but..."

"But?" Yin Tingxue asked.

Dayin didn't look at Chen Yi, but just pricked up his ears quietly.

"It's just that she's too self-centered."

Chen Yi spoke truthfully, and then said:
"To be honest, I am also a very selfish person."

How could Yin Tingxue not know? If not for this, Chen Yi’s ego wouldn’t be so deep.

Moreover, Sister Weiying could not resist Chen Yi and could only keep giving in to him like Chen Yi did.

Yin Weiying lowered her brows, her face slightly bitter. Perhaps because the atmosphere was still good, even though Wuming was in front of her, she mustered up the courage to ask:
"You don't like me being so selfish, do you?"

"Oh? No."

Yin Weiying had originally prepared himself to be scolded and taught a lesson, but when he heard this, he was stunned instead.

Chen Yirou stroked her hair and said with a smile:

"To be honest, every time I see you get humiliated, I want to laugh."

Yin Weiying's expression became complicated. She felt so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't dare to hate him, so her face turned pale and she snorted coldly.

He liked her not only physically, but also in other aspects. Yin Weiying understood it now. But the problem was that he didn't like her restlessness, but he also liked her frustrated look. The two were contradictory. Yin Weiying really didn't know what to do.

In the final analysis, these ordinary people are really impure, why do they have such messy thoughts? Yin Weiying felt unspeakable in his heart, restless, and then frustrated because of restlessness, in the final analysis it was her nature, that is to say, in fact, he both hated her nature and liked her nature?

After a long while, watching the snow falling heavier and heavier, she suddenly said in a depressed tone:
"How about I like you whether you like it or not?"

Chen Yi raised his eyes and looked at her, with surprise in his eyes.

He pondered for a while and said, "That's fine."

Yin Weiying looked out at the lake for a long time, let out a sigh, and relaxed a little.

The snow was getting heavier, and the green tiles of the waterside pavilion were covered with a layer of white frost.

Heavy snow fell in an instant, and ripples filled the water.

She pretended to ask casually:
"If one day you like me very much, then on my birthday, give me a hairpin, even a wooden one will do. For a cultivator, there is no difference between gold and silver."

"I will make my own decision." Chen Yi paused, and said in a soft voice: "Don't mention the hairpin, it's not a bad idea to give you the true essence or the treasures of heaven and earth."

"Um……"

After listening to his words, Yin Weiying knew that he had agreed, and her nose curled up slightly. In fact, Wuming was not that difficult to talk to, he just wanted to save face. She pretended to lower her attitude and pretended to like him, so he was bewitched and lost his guard. Little did she know that she saw everything. After all, how difficult was it to control the heart of a mortal?

Later on, let alone asking him to become an immortal, even if he was asked to make Tremella soup, wouldn't he still do it happily?
Then again, that bowl of Tremella soup tasted good, quite sweet...

Although her mind was in a thousand twists and turns, her face remained slightly lowered, like a figure in a painting.
The appearance of the Goddess Taihua became more and more extraordinary in the ripples.

The fairy was in love, but she didn't know it. She just savored the bowl of iced white fungus soup in the heavy snow.

So the Supreme Forgets Love,
Yes, but I don’t know it…
