My enemies became my companions

Chapter 382 Chen Yi's Harem

Chen Yi asked the female official Su Xin about Queen An's name, because he knew that Su Xin would report all their conversations to Queen An, including his action of asking for her name.

This question may seem abrupt, but perhaps from An Hou's perspective, it was him silently accepting his identity as her son.

After all, is there any child in the world who doesn’t know his mother’s name?

Now the situation is not favorable, Chen Yi can only show an attitude of gradually accepting the new identity, acting like he is upset but still accepting the benefits she brings.
After fighting with An Hou, Chen Yi's blood circulation became incredibly smooth and he felt even more energetic.

The veins on his arms had bulged, and although Chen Yi was still rational, he did not feel much better physically.

He felt that he could easily collapse the bed even without using any bronze bone skills.

If Yin and Yin were involved now, I'm afraid neither of them would be able to get out of bed tomorrow afternoon.

Fortunately, Zhou Yitang had pressed his acupoints before, and the sword intent surged through him. Otherwise, Chen Yi felt that if he could hold on for another hour or two, he would probably do as the Queen Mother said and pounce on the palace maids everywhere.

But the most urgent task now is to detoxify.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and learned from the palace maid that Yin and Yin were in two separate rooms, so he walked over quickly.

There were no obstructions along the way. When several palace maids saw that he was sweating and his cheeks were unusually red, they became frightened and quickly made way for him.

With a loud bang, Chen Yi opened the wooden door of the wing room.

Yin Weiying and Donggong Ruoshu were both frightened by the sudden noise.

Donggong Ruoshu noticed his anxious gaze, cried out, and quickly raised his hands to cover his chest.

Is this person ungrateful?
I've seen the melon seeds, and I want to see more...

Donggong Ruoshu couldn't help but complain in his heart and stepped back cautiously.

Yin Weiying was emotionally stable, but when he saw Chen Yi slowly approaching, he felt inexplicably guilty and frightened.

However, the nun still cleared her throat and asked:
"How is it?"

Chen Yi reluctantly moved his gaze away from Donggong Ruoshu and returned it to Yin Weiying.

"It doesn't matter. The Queen Mother has made up her mind."

Yin Weiying's face darkened instantly, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in his heart.

She turned around and glared at Donggong Ruoshu fiercely.

Dong Gong Ruoshu cried out in her heart that she was wronged, and she didn't want to get married. But Chen Yi was such a person, how could he let her go once they got married? Whipping her day and night was the least of her worries. By the time the Chen family of the Western Jin Dynasty found out something was wrong and sent people to rescue them, they were afraid that their Crown Princess would have no idea how many children she was pregnant with.

It would be fine if she didn't think about it, but once she thought about it, Miss Donggong became even more panicked, and... there were rumors that Chen Yi was also from the Chen family of the Western Jin Dynasty...

Then aren’t they... violating ethical principles?
Donggong Ruoshu shuddered and took a few steps back.

Yin Weiying turned around, feeling extremely depressed, and muttered:

"You...you ask to marry me first..."

She was about to complain, but when she looked up, she saw Chen Yi making a "hush" gesture.

Yin Weiying's eyes lit up slightly.

She understood something from Chen Yi's eyes and slowly stood up.

Chen Yi turned to look at Donggong Ruoshu and asked with a smile:

"Miss Donggong, are you willing to marry me?"

Dong Gong Ruoshu was naturally half resigned to her fate and half unwilling. She said, "You and I have conflicting horoscopes, but the Queen Mother has ordered me to marry you..."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "That's right."

Donggong Ruoshu then probed, "Although I have known you for a long time, marriage is a top priority. I am afraid that you are not a gentleman and it is difficult for you to force me, so I am worried. If we get married but don't have a bridal chamber, that is not impossible."

"It's OK to have a bridal chamber but not get married."

"…Is Qianhu really not a gentleman?"

"Great, you guessed it right."

Donggong Ruoshu was once again in tears.

She noticed Chen Yi's gaze moving towards her chest again, and quickly blocked it with her hands, but she did not dare to pull her skirt again.

I’m just afraid that another one will collapse and leave a deeper impression on Chen Yi.

When Yin Weiying saw Donggong Ruoshu's panic, he felt both happy and sad.

Even though she is quite big, he always looks down on others because they are bigger. How can he prescribe the right medicine for other fairies when he is on the road in the future?
Yin Weiying felt jealous.

At this time, Donggong Ruoshu changed the subject and said:
"What happened during the fight between Qian Hu and the Queen Mother?"

"Oh, you actually knew that?" Chen Yi paused and said, "It's a tie. If you have any other ideas, I advise you not to do it."

Donggong Ruoshu, who was always fond of martial arts, said, "I'm not that stupid. I know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. By the way, I taught you the sword to kill people and how to exchange things for things. Can you teach me the trick of making a child pee?"

Yin Weiying, who was originally feeling jealous, suddenly vomited out all the jealousy.

Chen Yi felt that he had heard wrongly and asked, "What did you say?"

Donggong Ruoshu realized that he couldn't hear clearly and was about to say it again, but when she saw Yin Weiying winking at her, she shut up.

Although I don't know why Yin Weiying winked at me.

Logically speaking, they are still in an alliance relationship, and she even gave her ninety taels to bribe Chen Yi.

Donggong Ruoshu said, "Nothing, I just want to learn your swordsmanship."

After hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "After you get married, you can learn some of them."

Donggong Ruoshu was afraid to speak again.

In another room separated from this room by only a wall, Xiaochan, who had been listening attentively, lowered her head and silently recorded every word of the conversation in the room.

Not long after, Chen Yi walked out of the room and said that he was going to see Yin Tingxue.

The nun thought about it and decided to follow.

She came to the corridor and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly her whole body was shocked.

Donggong Ruoshu chased out and rushed in front of Yin Weiying.

"what happened again?"

The female crown princess' heart was in her throat, fearing that the prince would accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Although it was not a big deal, if Chen Yi, who was poisoned by the Yuchun ointment, heard it, she would probably only see the sun the day after tomorrow.

Donggong Ruoshu thought of the bribe, scratched his head and said, "You still owe me ten taels."

Yin Weiying took out the ten taels from his bosom and said:

"Here, here you go."

Donggong Ruoshu happily put away the ten taels of silver and turned back.

Looking at this silly girl, Yin Weiying felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Forget it. At worst, after she gets married, I can ask for mercy myself. It will be like a big blow followed by a sweet reward.

If she treats her as the eldest lady with respect, at the very least, she will be able to rise to prominence along with her family.

Chen Yi opened the door and entered the room where Xiao Yin and the widow lived. When he went in, he saw the young widow lying on the tea table with her head buried, unwilling to get up.

Yin Tingxue's words were still echoing in her ears.

She was distraught.

Yin Tingxue was so favored, so what she said must be true. Besides, she had a kind heart, so she was definitely not lying to her.

If that's the case, doesn't that mean he really doesn't want me?

Although she should be happy that her reputation was preserved, Lin Wanheng felt panic for no reason. She wanted to suppress these inexplicable thoughts, but she couldn't.

What if...what if Chen Yi really cares about her and goes against the Queen Mother and doesn't want her anymore?
Moreover, there was nothing to condemn about her behavior. It was not the kind of behavior of a man who abandoned his wife after having sex with her. Instead, it was the style of a gentleman who acted out of love but ended with courtesy...

…No, he has the demeanor of a gentleman, which is a good thing. From now on, I will give up the idea of ​​revenge. He won’t bother me, and I won’t bother him. It’s the best thing for us to keep to ourselves…

Lin Wanhang was flustered. Before coming to this private banquet, she was still thinking about keeping her chastity in her heart and mending the dam of her heart. But after coming here, she was confronted with a series of Shuras and competed with other women openly and secretly. Instead, she could no longer suppress her feelings. Women are like this. If the man they like is not competed for by other women, they will not feel how much they like him. But if there is a real competition, they can no longer just stand by and watch.

She was surprised to find that she had never thought about him in the past, but she missed him so much now. Was she also thinking about him silently without even knowing it?

Before Lin Wanheng came back to his senses from his wild thoughts, he heard a familiar voice behind him:
"Wan Heng."

Lin Wanheng suddenly woke up and said instinctively:

"I'm not a random woman, don't call me that."

Chen Yi looked at her for a while and came over to see her. In addition to seeing her, he also wanted to find a teammate for Yin and Yin Xiao.

It can be seen that despite her resistance, she has given up the idea for now.

The young widow slowly came back to her senses, looked at him and said:

"You...why are you here?"

"I talked to the Queen Mother and came here."

Lin Wanheng subconsciously said, "I talked about me... No, what did you talk about?"

Chen Yi curled his lips and said, "Do you care about me?"

"You and I have a clear and innocent relationship, but you are the only one imagining things," Lin Wanheng said, looking away and casually glancing at Yin Tingxue. His voice was a little weaker as he said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Otherwise, you will say that I forced you to say it. It doesn't matter if it ruins my reputation, but it will also make your wife unhappy. Are you okay?"

Are you OK
Yin Tingxue noticed that after Lin Wanheng had said a lot, she still couldn't help but express her concern.

The little fox then said, "I'm not dissatisfied."

Lin Wanhang was so upset that he lowered his head and spat, "You say one thing and mean another."

After Yin Tingxue heard this, she thought for a moment and said with a resentful look:

"Well, then don't tell her. Madam Lin cares about her reputation, so don't ruin her reputation. Oh... and stay away. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Don't bother Madam Lin in the future."

Lin Wanheng felt a little uneasy when he heard this, but when he thought about Chen Yi's lustful look, he felt inexplicably at ease. But when he raised his head, he saw Chen Yi nodded seriously.

He even took out the blue sachet from his arms, as if he wanted to return it...

Lin Wanheng suddenly became anxious and said repeatedly: "You will inevitably interact with dignitaries when you stay in the capital. If you don't want to disturb me, then don't disturb me. It's just that you have to come to Cui Mansion more often and interact with my eldest brother. I often hear my father say that being in harmony with the world is the way of the officialdom."

I thought that after saying this, this scoundrel would stop.

Unexpectedly, he raised his lips again and said, "Do you really care about me?"

Lin Wanheng opened his mouth and didn't want to answer, but he pushed the sachet forward.

This small action made her heart rise, and Lin Wanheng said anxiously:
"The Queen Mother asked me to do this. I cannot disobey the Emperor's order. If you lose this sachet, the Queen Mother will have to settle the score with you." She looked at Chen Yi and saw that he was not injured, so she said, "Forget it, as long as you are fine, I won't ask any more questions."

When Chen Yi heard this, he knew that she was shy, so he stopped forcing her. He took back the sachet, turned to look at Yin Tingxue and said:
"let's go."

Yin Tingxue nodded and stood up.

Lin Wanhang watched the two figures go away, and suddenly felt lost and silently put his face on the tea table.

It is deep winter now and I thought it would be cold enough to shiver.

Unexpectedly, her face had already warmed the tea table.

Looking at the direction he left, Lin Wanhang was lost in thought.

We can't grow old together, but we can die together...

She never came to her senses that night and was still lying there until the New Year's firecrackers went off.

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

Yin Tingxue followed Chen Yi out.

She watched the whole thing and couldn't help but say:

"Mrs. Lin, why...why does she clearly like you but reject you?"

If Chen Yi had not recovered, Yin Tingxue would think it was reasonable. But now Chen Yi has recovered, and Lin Wanheng clearly cannot stand the torture of being a widow, but she is still unwilling to agree.

"She can't bring herself to do that. Even if I marry her in a formal ceremony, I'm afraid she will still treat me coldly."

Chen Yi smiled and said a few words, then paused and said:
"This is called tsundere. Every woman has a little bit of it."

This was not the first time Yin Tingxue had heard this lyric. Chen Yi and she would often chat on the bed, and at that time, Chen Yi always had many new lyrics that she had never heard of.

The little fox nodded and said:

"That should be tsundere, but I'm not."

She spoke in a childish way.

Chen Yi smiled and rubbed her head, saying softly:

"What did you tell her?"

Yin Tingxue did not hide it from him:
"I'll just provoke her and let her know what she's thinking, so you can let her in."

Chen Yi was stunned, then said:
"eventful."

Yin Tingxue frowned and then asked:

"Are you a tsundere too?"

Chen Yi was silent for a moment.

Seeing that her husband beside her didn't move, Yin Tingxue panicked and looked at him with wide eyes.

The man took a deep breath and said viciously:
"You hit the most vulnerable part of my heart. I can't let you go tonight!"

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

The woman in the phoenix robe had left the Buddhist temple and was walking slowly towards the bedroom.

The female official Su Xin followed beside him.

When they arrived outside the bedroom, Queen An stopped for a moment.

A palace maid came quickly and reported in a low voice:

"My Lady, Qian Hu's complexion is getting worse and worse. It seems that he can't hold on for much longer."

Empress An asked, "He didn't look for palace maids, nor did he look for concubines?"

"He has only two concubines by his side." The maid answered truthfully.

"He is young and energetic, I'm afraid it's not enough."

An Hou smiled and said without looking back:
"Tell someone to ask the Korean woman to wash herself, put on makeup, and then have someone lead him to the cold palace."

Su Xin was moved.

Queen An saw this and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"My lady, Korean women are charming and cunning. I'm afraid they won't obey orders easily. If they harm Captain Chen secretly..."

Su Xin should just say half of what she wants to say, and not say the whole thing, so as to avoid being caught.

Empress An said calmly, "She dare not. I have already warned her and promised her rewards. Suxin, listen to me now. After she serves me in the emperor's bedchamber, I will assign a few personal maids to her courtyard. In the future, her food will be prepared according to the rank of a noble concubine. The courtyard will also be repaired. In the future, I will give her an idle position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These women who were sent to the palace as tribute were originally there to serve men.

She has guarded her yin essence for so many years, guarding it like jade, and it is time to hand it over."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Su Xin lowered her head and said:
"Empress Shengming."

There was a sentence that popped up in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

It's OK for palace maids, but he can do whatever he wants with the concubines of the previous emperor, and even the imperial concubine, who is second only to the empress, is given to him...

The harem of the Great Yu Imperial City,

Could it be Chen Zunming’s harem?
