My enemies became my companions

Chapter 371 Shura Field Begins
Her feelings were clear. She and Yin Weiying seemed to be in the passionate love period. Many feelings were different from the past, so Chen Yi treated her with more tolerance.

After so much time had passed, Da Yin had learned something. After all, she was Xiao Yin's disciple, and she more or less understood that she had to go along with Chen Yi's temperament, even against her will. So when she saw Zhou Yitong again before she left, she didn't say anything.

Even if Zhou Yitong was sitting in the seat that belonged to her as the eldest lady.

The nun said goodbye to everyone one by one, and left with her sleeves gathered up. Her graceful figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and the hairpin with cloud pattern in her hair sparkled brightly in the winter sun.

Zhou Yitang had a blank expression on his face and glanced sideways at Xiao Yin who was busy ordering tea.

As she lowered her head and concentrated on making tea, Yin Tingxue had her hair tied up in a bun, which was as black as ink and looked even more charming against the silver hairpin.

Zhou Yitang frowned.

How come everyone has a hairpin?

Only she doesn't have it?

Chen Yi pretended to be nonchalant and didn't even look at his wife from his previous life.

There were hairpins in the bedroom. Not to mention that he had bought a lot of jewelry for Yin Tingxue, he also had a hairpin for tying up his long hair. He could give it to her at any time if he wanted to, but if he gave it to her now, people would suspect he had something to hide. What's more, he didn't pick it specifically for her. In that case, he might as well wait and see.

After a while, the tea was ordered and Yin Tingxue brought them each a bowl. The two of them picked up the tea bowls almost at the same time.

The tea was warm and flowed down her throat. Even though it was still a little grainy, Chen Yi encouraged the girl and said, "Good tea."

Before the daughter of the King of Xiang could smile again, she heard:
"not good."

After these words were spoken, Yin Tingxue's joy faded a little. She could tell that Master Zhou was telling the truth and Chen Yi was just trying to make her happy.

The taste of tea is indeed average.

Chen Yi shook the tea and said, "It's much better than before."

Zhou Yitang did not comment.

Chen Yi knew that her mind would not change, so he turned and smiled at Yin Tingxue.

Yin Tingxue responded with a crooked smile, which roughly meant, I know you are comforting me, so I smile at you to make you feel comforted.

Girls’ thoughts have always been like this.

The tea bowl was gradually empty, Chen Yi stood up and asked Yin Tingxue to refill the tea. As soon as he came back and sat down, he saw Zhou Yitang stretching out his only hand.

There is a crystal clear bead in the palm of her hand, like a night-shining pearl.

"This, this is..."

Chen Yi looked at the bead in confusion.

"The Lizhu obtained by killing the dragon is useless to me."

Zhou Yitang said briefly.

Chen Yi took the Lizhu from her hand. He didn't know how much time had passed since he hung the sword and slashed the dragon. At her level, this bead was undoubtedly a useless thing that could be discarded at will, but she kept it for him until now.

Chen Yi couldn't help but asked softly: "Why give it to me now?"

Zhou Yitang remained silent.

Everything is left unsaid.

Chen Yi thought of something, and smiled as he came up to her and said:

"Are you jealous again?"

The one-armed woman glanced at him coldly and asked:
"I'm your master, what vinegar can I eat?"

Chen Yi smiled and said:
"Our yard is better than Yinjian Mountain. We can eat vinegar every day. The vinegar is different."

A circle of energy spread out because of Chen Yi's words, and the tea in Chen Yi's tea bowl rippled and collapsed inward, and in an instant it was as if a huge force of a thousand pounds was pressing down on it.

Chen Yi quickly stretched out his second hand to support it, and was able to barely hold up the tea bowl.

Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhou Yitang stopped talking and said no more.

Chen Yi steady the tea and breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally taken precautions and dispelled Zhou Yitong's doubts.

Just at this moment, a palace maid came outside the courtyard.

Min Ming, the maid, went over to greet her. After a while of chattering, the maid went back, and Min Ming came to Chen Yi holding the invitation card with a red background.

"This was sent from the palace to invite the master to a private banquet."

Min Ming lowered his eyes, half bent his body, and half fell down like a mountain. He called out "Master" in a respectful manner, which made Chen Yi feel slightly numb.

Ever since Min Ming stopped causing trouble as a maid, Chen Yi has become much more pleasing to her.

Taking the invitation in his hand, Chen Yi opened it casually. After scanning it, his face darkened slightly.

Yin Tingxue noticed it, looked up at him and said:
"What's wrong?"

"Not really..." Chen Yi stared at the invitation several times, and after thinking, he said, "Maybe I have to take you and Emperor Luan to the palace."

In the palace?

Yin Tingxue was a little frightened. The last time An Lai came to the courtyard and bullied others, he almost scared her and Sister Weiying half to death. Now he was going to the palace, on someone else's territory. What should they do?

"Do not be afraid."

Chen Yi said, touching the back of her head.

His eyes fell back to the invitation.

There was a private banquet on New Year's Eve, and this invitation was to invite them to the private banquet, and it specifically stated that the daughters of King Xiang and King Jing had to go together.

If the invitation only mentioned Yin Weiying, Chen Yi could have ignored it, but in addition to mentioning Yin Tingxue, some meaningful sentences were added.

What this means is that Yin Tingxue is still a sinner. If this matter is exposed, it will inevitably bring about many unexpected events, and then there will be a lot more eyes staring at you, Chen Yi, and Yin Tingxue.

And if Yin Tingxue's status as a criminal girl is pardoned, not only will there be no unexpected events, but after you, Chen Yi, are granted the title of marquis, it seems that the Prince Xiang's Mansion can also be granted as a marquis' mansion.

There is Yintai Temple in Prince Xiang’s palace.

The overt and covert threats, coupled with the need to paralyze the empress dowager before leaving Beijing, forced Chen Yi to attend this private banquet.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Chen Yi put down the invitation and sipped his tea with complicated thoughts.

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

New Year's Eve. The long streets, the palace lanterns, swaying in the capital, there is no curfew tonight, so the streets are full of lights, and red firecrackers are hung in front of every house, ready to be fired at any time when someone uses the hourglass to calculate the time, and then give the order, and the firecrackers will burst, and the year will be gone with the sound of firecrackers.

All officials had started their day off on the 27th day of the lunar year, so the outer court of the imperial city was quiet and cold, but the inner court was the complete opposite, bustling and lively. The concubines who had been trapped in their respective palaces for a long time gathered together, walking back and forth in yellow or green clothes. Ninety-six dishes were served at the table, and the sounds of composing lyrics, serving wine, and tossing pots were heard one after another. During this time, some people could not bear the sorrow of being in the cold palace and shed tears at the table, and then gave all of them to Du Kang.

Chen Yi held Yin Tingxue's hand and walked across the vermilion palace wall under the guidance of the palace maid.

He was traveling with the little fox. Yin Weiying had not arrived yet because, logically speaking, the daughter of King Jing was still an unmarried legitimate daughter. Before she got married, it was not appropriate for her to appear in pairs with Chen Yi. Otherwise, not only would her good reputation be ruined, but also the reputation of King Jing's mansion would be damaged.

So Chen Yi estimated that Yin Weiying would have to wait for some time before arriving.

Yin Tingxue hadn't been to the palace for a long time, so she felt restrained. She only dared to look straight ahead and didn't dare to look around. The last time she went in, it was her mother who held her hand, but now it was Chen Yi who held her hand. It was really strange.

Before long, the two were brought to Yuanchun Hall by palace maids. The dishes had not yet been served. There were only bowls, chopsticks and wine bottles on the table. Various lights had already been lit. Outside the house, one could see the Lianyin Lake, where thousands of koi were raised. This was the place that Chen Yi was very proud of before.

Looking around, there was no one else in Yuanchun Hall except the silent maid.

Chen Yi was puzzled. It was said to be a private banquet, but the empress dowager was nowhere to be seen, and there were only a few empty tables.

He took Yin Tingxue and sat down casually at a tea table, and a palace maid came forward to order tea.

The aroma of tea wafts everywhere.

Amid the fragrance, there were subtle sounds of footsteps.

When Chen Yifu turned around, he saw the graceful figure of a woman outlined among the lights in the depths of Yuanchun Hall. She was wearing a Eight-Da Cloud Brocade Hezi skirt, and her smooth shoulders were as round as jade. She had a tasseled bun, and her golden hairpins swayed with her steps, which made the woman's appearance more beautiful. She looked like an antique lady in a storybook.

The exposed skin covered with tulle looked even more blurry. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. At the reminder of her maid Xiaochan, she walked towards her step by step with a smile on her face. As she got closer, her steps became slower, because she noticed where Chen Yi's gaze fell on her bulging breasts, which made the phoenix embroidered on her skirt look like it was falling into the abyss.

She was extremely beautiful. It was the first time that Chen Yi discovered that Dong Gong Ruo Shu could be so beautiful and worthy of the title of Crown Princess.

Among the palace lanterns, her demeanor suddenly changed. She was no longer the silly girl wandering around the world, but the extremely beautiful Chen Ruoshu.

"My daughter Donggong Rushu is very nice to meet Captain Chen."

Donggong Ruoshu Rourou bowed.

When she noticed Chen Yi's gaze, her heart instantly turned cold.

Finished!

The thick-skinned Miss Donggong had never thought about what love was. She always treated it as a trick in storybooks and never took it to heart. If not, she would not have stubbornly escaped the marriage with the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty.

But what I never expected was that after finally escaping from a marriage and coming to Dayu, I found that there was another marriage here!
Chen Yi looked away, coughed and said:

"Miss Donggong, why are you here?"

"me…"

Donggong Ruoshu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and then he heard the maid Xiaochan beside him say:
"My uncle is going to be granted marriage, and the young lady is your fiancée. From now on, Xiaochan will have to call you uncle."

Yin Tingxue: “?”

The little fox next to him suspected that he had heard it wrong and his eyes widened.

Donggong Ruoshu lowered his head and replied softly: "Yes..."

Yin Tingxue frowned slightly, feeling indescribably sad.

But Xiaochan pulled out a chair and asked Donggong Rushu to sit down, just opposite Chen Yi.

Chen Yi probably understood some of the circumstances. It seemed that Dong Gong Ruoshu would appear first and get acquainted with him, and then he would try to bring them together at the banquet, and finally an imperial decree granting marriage would be issued.

It is so simple and clear, and easy to deal with.

It just seems that he is seduced, but in fact he is just calm and composed.

Is this difficult?

With a clear mind, Chen Yi relaxed. It was just a matter of fighting back as the enemy came, and paralyzing the empress dowager first.

He picked up the tea, looked around, and said casually:

"This Yuanchun Hall is really elegant. Not only are there many lights, but there are also beauties accompanying you."

As she spoke, Miss Donggong turned her head to look at Chen Yi.

There was undoubtedly a stunningly beautiful girl sitting next to him. Donggong Ruoshu was about to feel at ease, but when he noticed a detail, he clenched his hands.

He has a concubine, and she's a beauty. Anyone would be content with her.

But this concubine...

How can she have breasts?

Under the hezi skirt, Donggong Ruoshu felt her chest swelling and her cheeks flushed with nervousness.

With her scalp tingling, she looked around. There were murals in Yuanchun Hall. Since the empress dowager was a devout Buddhist, the murals depicted the Buddhist allusion - the Shura battlefield.

Legend has it that Indra had delicious food but no beautiful women, while Asura King had beautiful women but no delicious food. Because of their greed, they fought with each other, and the place where the blood stained the yellow sand was called the Asura Field.

With a group of palace maids staring at her, Donggong Ruoshu had no choice but to look at Chen Yi and made a gesture to Xiaochan.

Xiaochan understood and stepped back, thinking that they were going to say sweet words, so she gave them space to say them.

Sitting opposite Chen Yi, knowing that he had a woman in his heart, Miss Donggong was nervous, rubbing the tea bowl with her fingertips, and said sincerely:

"I heard that Qian Hu has always been loyal to the country and has a clean record. I just want to ask you something."

Chen Yi turned around and looked at her, smiling slightly:

"But it doesn't matter."

"How many taels of silver do you need to bribe the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Donggong Ruoshu transmitted the message into the secret passage.

Chen Yi glanced at her, not understanding what she meant, but still said, "It depends on the situation. Generally, it costs 90 taels. Why are you asking this?"

Donggong Ruoshu reached into his bosom and pulled out a silver note with a face value of 100 taels from between Hezi's skirts. He handed it over and said, "Give me 10 taels of silver and don't marry me, okay?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and seeing that she was nervous, her chest was shaking, and her ravines were dazzling, he teased:

"But this is more than ninety taels."

Donggong Ruoshu's face turned pale.

She turned her head and looked at Yin Tingxue with a sad look.
As if asking:

Why don't you have breasts?
