My enemies became my companions

Chapter 376: Three Women Compete, Three Happinesses Come

When Chen Yi faced Queen An, he had already anticipated that the long-suppressed female priest would fight back.

The reason why he gave her the golden hairpin was that he had already made plans.

The words of the nun were like an announcement. The undercurrent at the banquet suddenly changed, as if a storm was about to come. Not to mention the people at the banquet, even the palace maids serving on the side could not help but turn their heads and raise their eyes.

The women had different expressions.

Chen Yi took in everyone's expressions and turned to look at the Queen Mother sitting on the throne.

After staring at An, some of Chen Yi's guesses were completely confirmed.

Queen An must have known about his proposal at Prince Jing's mansion a long time ago.

Since the beginning, all the arrangements, intentional or unintentional, have been to confirm this fact.

Now, it seems that this private banquet is far more than just a matchmaking between him and the Eastern Palace.

It even forced him to take sides.

Chen Yi made a decision in a flash.

In terms of friendship, the two Yins have been with me for so long, and I cannot let them down more than I can Donggong and Lin Wanheng...

and so…

Chen Yi was about to bow and speak, preparing for a rainy day and taking sides to resolve this Shura scene, and turning it into nothingness the moment it emerged.

But Queen An raised her hand slightly, and the female official Su Xin slowly walked over and presented a note to Chen Yi.

When Chen Yi saw the flourishing cursive script, his expression suddenly changed.

When he looked up at An Hou again, the mother of the country looked back at him and studied his face with a smile.

Chen Yi said nothing and sat back at the banquet table.

The note was short, just a few words.
However, what was written in the note made it impossible for him to resolve the Shura situation by taking sides.

It concerns leaving the capital, granted marriage, and Tushan clan.

At the banquet, Yin Weiying was seen holding up the wine cup, raising her head and drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, with an elegant posture. After a few drops of wine spilled, she waved her sleeves and stood up.

"Your Highness, can this servant wear this golden hairpin?"

The nun asked, bowing.

Queen An said calmly, "Yes."

Yin Weiying picked up the golden hairpin and inserted it into the ends of her hair. The palace maid beside her brought a mirror.

Lin Wanhang, Donggong Ruoshu, and Yin Tingxue all looked at her with different expressions.

The little fox was fine, knowing Sister Weiying's personality, so he didn't feel any bitterness at the moment. But it was different for Donggong Ruoshu and Lin Wanheng.

Donggong Ruoshu had already half accepted her fate and the marriage, but the hairpin that was originally intended for her fell into Yin Weiying's hand instead. The latter's tone was directed at her intentionally or unintentionally. Miss Donggong couldn't help feeling resentful. She pursed her lips and stared straight at Miss Dinglu.

Lin Wanheng gritted her teeth. She had just had a quarrel with Yin Weiying not long ago, and was ridiculed in such a way. She was already fragile and became angry.

The bronze mirror was bright, and Yin Weiying in the mirror was indeed extremely beautiful, but after she looked at herself, she sighed again.

The Imperial Concubine Dong, who was the commander, asked, "Why is Princess Jing sighing?"

Yin Weiying slowly took off the golden hairpin and sighed:

"Although the gold hairpin is beautiful, it is not an ordinary thing. However, I have been practicing Taoism for more than ten years and I regard gold and jade as rubble. Therefore, this gold hairpin does not match my Taoism. Rather than wasting this beautiful thing, I would rather give it to Miss Donggong."

As she spoke, the nun took off her golden hairpin and stroked her sleeves lightly, as if she was waving a whisk.

She walked up to Donggong Ruoshu holding the golden hairpin and said softly:
"I don't want this golden hairpin, please don't waste it, Miss Donggong."

"you!"

Donggong Ruoshu couldn't tell whether the redness on his face was from anger or blushing.

I will only give you the hairpin you don't want...

If it was just the hairpin that was given as a gift, even if Dong Gong Ruo Shu was unhappy, she would not say anything because she was a thick-skinned girl. But this nun insisted on adding that sentence, which made it clear that she was competing with her.

Why should I suffer in vain?

I, Chen Ruoshu, am from the Chen family of Jin State. In terms of background alone, I may not be inferior to you!

Donggong Ruoshu's eyes turned, he took the golden hairpin, and changed his tone and said:

"I know the intention of Yin Xiangu to transfer the gift. I think she knew that the Queen Mother had granted the marriage, and the Jing Palace wanted to cancel the engagement to avoid the spotlight.

Fairy Yin, you are so generous.

You have the spirit of ancient saints. I think losing a companion won't hinder your pursuit of immortality and the way of the Tao!"

"........."

The expression on Yin Weiying's face stiffened slightly.

This hits the soft spot.

The royal palace wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and the royal family wanted to grant a marriage. It was not unheard of in history that the two things collided.

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven, and almost every time, they are orders from the emperor that cannot be disobeyed.

Even if Prince Jing's Mansion was in its heyday, it would not challenge the palace over this matter. What's more, Prince Jing's Mansion now has some tendencies of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Lin Wanliang, who was not far away, echoed at this moment:

"Even if one family marries two wives, I think everything should be harmonious, but I just don't know... who comes first and who comes later?

By the way, I think Yin Xiangu is indifferent to fame and fortune, and doesn't care who is older or younger. Alas, I have judged others by my own standards."

Another sentence hit Yin Weiying right in the heart.

The two women secretly shook hands and made peace, and united together.

The nun gritted her teeth, not knowing what to do.

Her anger grew even stronger.

Chen Yi proposed to her first, so she should have been the first wife.

Who would have thought that first Dong Gong Ruo Shu would appear, and then the widow of the Lin family would appear, and each of them relied on the support of the empress dowager. Aren’t they bullying others?

The nun clenched her hands, her thoughts turned into a thousand circles, and she laughed in anger:

"Okay, Miss Donggong, I hope that after you marry into the family, you won't be left alone in an empty room."

Donggong Ruoshu and Lin Wanheng's faces changed again. This sentence attacked two people. Needless to say, the former, the young lady of the Lin family felt a dull pain in her chest, her house was deserted, and she was alone in her empty room. Who was this talking about?
The two girls' faces changed back and forth.

Seeing that the three girls seemed to be going to continue arguing, the little fox at the side hurriedly tried to stop them:
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, it's all the same, don't quarrel."

"Who made the noise?!"

The three girls said in unison.

Yin Tingxue shrank her neck and wilted, not daring to interrupt.

The Queen Mother said nothing, and none of the palace maids dared to try to stop the fight, while Imperial Concubine Dong watched the fun with great pleasure.

Only the little fox wanted to stop the fight, but he could not get a word in.

She turned her head and looked at the person involved, Chen Yi.

Chen Yi's forehead was full of black lines. He turned around and saw the Shura battlefield on the mural. Asura and Indra were fighting against each other, inseparable.

He could only wait and see for the time being and look for ideas.

The three women were still fighting on the field. Yin Weiying was fighting one against two, and said with a flushed face:
"It's not proper to make a scene in front of the Queen Mother!"

Donggong Ruoshu is bold and courageous, and he is not afraid either:
"I wonder what Princess Jing is arguing about. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at by the Queen Mother?!"

After the words fell, Yin Weiying became even more angry and said coldly:

"I am the daughter of the dignified King Jing, half of the royal family, so what if I hear a joke? If you, the East Palace, are ignorant of current affairs, you will be a shrew that everyone hates even if you marry into the family!"

Donggong Ruoshu was so angry that his chest swelled when he heard her scolding him. Before she could fight back, Lin Wanheng spoke first:

"I heard that the daughter of King Jing is the goddess of Taihua, who practices the way of forgetting love. But after seeing her tonight, I found out that she is just a seductress who wants to compete for a husband."

"Who is Foxy talking about?!"

Donggong Ruoshu replied: "Fox Meizi is talking about you!"

"You are the foxy one, I am not!"

"Why can you call me a foxy girl, but I can't call you a foxy girl?"

Yin Weiying's eyebrows were raised, and the smell of alcohol and anger mixed together. He was proposed to first, and this Donggong Ruoshu wanted to snatch the marriage away, which would have been fine, but he also joined forces with Lin Wanheng to curse in the streets.

She was furious and retorted: "It's okay for me, the princess, to call you a foxy girl, but it's not okay for you, the foxy girl, to call me the princess!"

Donggong Ruoshu sneered: "What a powerful official! I wonder who will be the one to be broken off in the end."

Donggong Ruoshu was so angry that she didn't realize that she had already considered herself as Chen Yi's wife.

Donggong Ruoshu said calmly, "Don't worry, Yin Xiangu, I will turn a blind eye when you come to the Chen Mansion to look for my husband in the future."

Suddenly, Yin Tingxue was envious of the calm and composed demeanor of the queen, and the maid Xiaochan was almost moved to tears.

"You, you..." Yin Weiying spoke incoherently.

Donggong Ruoshu felt relieved.

Yin Weiying suddenly came up with a plan and took two steps forward.

She walked around Donggong Ruoshu, took Chen Yi's hand, and said with a sweet smile:
"So what if you get married in the future? The family's status will ultimately be decided by the head of the family. He has his own decision about who the first lady in his heart is.

Oh~ I almost forgot, he and I had a wedding night together. Now that I think about it, it couldn't have been me, could it have been me?"

After these words fell,

Donggong Ruoshu and Lin Wanheng's faces changed again. They were so caught up in the quarrel that they forgot about this. Now they were stunned and their expressions became a little stiff.

The girls' eyes were once again focused on Chen Yi.

If the fighting intent between their brows were transformed into swords, I'm afraid Chen Yi would even cut Hou Kangjian into four or five pieces. Although Queen An's face was blurred in the shadows, she supported her cheek with her jade hand, and she didn't seem to be anxious, but watched the women fighting at the table with interest.

The more women he flirts with, the more popular he becomes, and the more he stands out.

With all the compassion of parents in the world, how could she not want this minister to be popular?

Yin Weiying suppressed his fear, took his arm, and with rare tenderness, rolled up his sleeves for him, and said softly:

"Why don't you roll up your sleeves when you eat? They're all dirty."

Chen Yi blinked and looked at Yin Weiying as if he had seen a ghost.

The nun quickly winked at him.

What he meant was that he had said that he would treat her like the Goddess of Taihua when outside, but at home, he could abuse her however he wanted...

But outsiders must treat her as a goddess!
All the ladies at the banquet looked at Chen Yi. The captain in black robes was sitting on the seat, his face surprisingly rosy under the candlelight.

But he just sat there motionless in the chair, silent, with only his eyes moving around.

When the three girls saw this scene, they were frightened at first, and then seeing that he was slow to speak, they all thought that he was trying to please both sides and had his feet on several boats.

Da Yin and the young widow were the first to frown, with a look of loss in their eyes. Miss Donggong was more innocent and still looked at him straight.

Chen Yi glanced at the snow-white and plump body.

Donggong Ruoshu was stunned for a moment, she quickly raised her hand to cover her eyes, only to see Chen Yi's gaze drift away and move to Yin Weiying's face.

The nun smiled with a smug look on her face, it seemed that Chen Yi still supported her.

Donggong Ruoshu felt something was wrong, and after a moment of confusion, he slightly moved his hand away...

Swish!
Chen Yi's eyes slashed down like a knife, falling on Guai's chest.

Yin Weiying’s eyes widened.

Donggong Ruoshu raised his hand to cover it again.

Chen Yi's gaze moved back to Yin Weiying.

Donggong Ruoshu put down his hand.

Chen Yi swept over again.

After going back and forth like this, Da Yin finally couldn't hold it anymore. Her cheeks flushed with anger and she said, "You, you...you deliberately humiliated me..."

She was just about to leave, but she saw that Chen Yi's cheeks were unusually red and his arms were tense.

Yin Weiying was stunned.

The next moment, Chen Yi uttered a line of words hoarsely:

"I...I...I took Chinese medicine.
Yu, Yuchun Cream!"

Yuchun Cream?!

After these three short words were spoken, all the women except Donggong Ruoshu and Lin Wanheng were stunned.

Concubine Dong had experienced it personally and knew what a terrible drug it was. The lingering medicinal power surged up like a wave at first and then penetrated deep into the bone marrow. If the poison was not detoxified, sooner or later the meridians would break and the body would explode and die.

It is even more uncomfortable when being tortured by Yuchun Paste.

Concubine Dong still remembers that night. Even though the cold wind was blowing, there were still waves of Buddhist chants, the boundless sea of ​​​​Buddha, and the relics poking their heads out from the deep mountains and old forests...

She, who had been watching the fun from the side, shuddered.

then,

Keep watching the fun.

Yin Tingxue looked at Chen Yi nervously. She leaned forward and grabbed the hem of Chen Yi's clothes. Veins on his arms were bulging, which looked scary.

Although Lin Wanheng was puzzled, when she saw Chen Yi staring at someone's chest with a lustful look, she understood what was going on and blushed and spat.

Donggong Ruoshu's face was full of confusion, but when she saw Chen Yi's eyes wandering around, she foolishly covered her chest.

Yin Weiying turned his head and said angrily:
"Fox girl! Take that thing away from me. Can't you see that he was drugged?!"

Donggong Ruoshu stood up belatedly and said in astonishment:
"Taken with an aphrodisiac? Who gave it to you?"

The words "Who laid it down?" were like a wake-up call, and all the other girls except her started to think rapidly.

Before Chen Yi came in, all his actions were normal, and it was obvious that he was not drugged before the private banquet.

During the private banquet, Chen Yi did not leave his seat, and his every move was under everyone's eyes.

The dishes and drinks we enjoyed were all arranged and prepared by the palace...

For a moment, it was like a bolt from the blue. Several women at the table turned their heads in disbelief and looked up.

"Why are you all looking at the Queen Mother?"

Donggong Ruoshu saw this scene and frowned in confusion.

"Could it be the Queen Mother who ordered it?"

As soon as these simple words were spoken, Yuanchun Hall suddenly became silent, and one could hear a pin drop.

Seeing that no one was talking, Donggong Ruoshu widened his eyes:

"Is it really ordered by the Queen Mother?"

This time, even Miss Donggong fell silent.

Above, a heavy shadow fell on the mural of the Shura battlefield. A look of surprise flashed across the phoenix eyes, and then they narrowed.

There's poison in the drink...

But why doesn't she remember?

Did he order someone to put drugs in the drinks?
An Tuan raised his chin and looked at Chen Yi thoughtfully.

Chen Yi seemed to be about to faint, his cheeks turned red, and his hands and feet began to twitch on their own.

The women were unaware of the inside story, so they became suspicious of what happened next.

Because of this momentary doubt, the Shura battlefield, which had just been intensifying, showed signs of calming down.

Since there is no way to stand in line, then simply don't stand in line...

"ah!"

With a cry of surprise, Donggong Ruoshu fell directly into his arms. Chen Yi hugged her and said chivalrously:

"I'm poisoned. Donggong, Miss Donggong, please leave quickly. There's no need to save me!"

A sudden change!
The women turned their heads back sharply, each with a look of panic on their faces.

"I told you not to save me, but you still come over. This is truly a righteous act." Chen Yi said seriously, holding Donggong Ruoshu.

Donggong Ruoshu struggled desperately. She patted Chen Yi's shoulder and said:
"Let go, let go, we're not married yet, we're not married yet!"

“Miss Donggong is so kind, I really can’t let her down.

There is no need to rush to get married, let’s spend the bridal chamber first… Alas, I am sorry for inconvenienced Miss Donggong.”

Chen Yi looked apologetic. He turned around and saw Yin Weiying standing there in shock. He immediately put his arm around her.
"You come too, double happiness!"

Yin Weiying was caught off guard and was pulled into Chen Yi's arms. She was stunned, but did not resist much. Instead, she gritted her teeth.

She is the eldest lady anyway...

Chen Yi stood up holding the two girls. Dong Gong Ruoshu's neck turned red when she saw him holding her.
"That's not polite, that's not polite. I, I, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver, no need to keep the change!"

"There's really no need to look for it." Chen Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't care about her. After being injected with Yuchun ointment, he turned his head and was about to move closer to that place. Donggong Ruoshu hurriedly used her hands to block him and pressed against his mouth. Half of her body was exerting force and her cheek was leaning forward, but how could she support herself? As soon as her hands loosened, she was kissed by Chen Yi.

Donggong Ruoshu's fingertips turned pale. After keeping their lips pressed against his for a long while, she hurriedly tried to bite him, but missed.

She said hurriedly:

"I don't want to be the first lady anymore, I don't want to be the first lady anymore, I won't come in! Let me go, let me go, I want to escape from the marriage!"

Donggong Ruoshu struggled hard, and at this moment he regretted his decision to the core.

She shouldn't have come to Dayu! She shouldn't have been so angry about fighting for the title of First Lady!

However, regardless of the fact that she was only a 16th-rank warrior, while Chen Yi was already a 4th-rank warrior, even if she used the sword intent of the Broken Swordsman in a hurry, Chen Yi would have a way to deal with it.

Donggong Ruoshu could not struggle and shouted to the Queen Mother:

"My queen, my queen, come quickly, hold him back, he is bullying me!"

Seeing her panic, the knowledgeable nun secretly raised her nose and felt refreshed.

Just when she was feeling proud, Chen Yi hugged her waist tightly. She immediately softened and looked at Chen Yi's red face in fear.

She was usually tossed around like that...

This time, he was poisoned by the Yuchun ointment. How could she bear it?
Yin Weiying got goosebumps.

He usually did it to her, tormented her severely, and even forced her to explain herself like a storyteller...

Despite Donggong Ruoshu's repeated requests for help, the empress dowager still stood safely at the head of the table, looking unharmed.

In full view of everyone, Chen Yi was seen hugging two women and about to rush out of the door, saying something like "double happiness, both of them are wives".

Finally, the Shura field was resolved, and Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped out of the door.

It was late at night, the palace lanterns flickered, and the dim lights in the distance illuminated the beautiful road.

There seemed to be something moving in the distance, like a human figure.

Chen Yi held Dayin and Donggong in his arms. The blood and energy from the Yuchun Paste surged, making him increasingly unable to control himself. The figure was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that he had only one arm.

He was looking for a sleeping palace, and when he glanced around casually, he was suddenly stunned, and then his whole body became petrified.
"Master, why are you here too?!"
