Chapter 1497 - 808: Writing Immortal Poetry Together (Triple Combined Bonus)

Fortunately, Miss Donggong didn't insist on a response, she just stood up silently and muttered to herself, "I'll go back and learn slowly, alas, if only Xiao Chan were here."

Xiao Chan was Miss Donggong's maid, and Chen Yi thought for a moment and remembered.

It turns out she was a spy who had long been in communication with the enemy, under the orders of Jingren Palace, though it's unknown whether she started communicating after coming to Great Yu or if she had already been doing so in Western Jin.

If it's the latter, it would be troublesome, who knows to what extent the Chen Family of Western Jin has been infiltrated. The reason Chen Yi had not taken Miss Donggong to visit the Chen Mansion after entering Chang'an was due to her Pixiu true form, and being an escaped Crown Princess Consort, with many people and mixed eyes in the Chen Mansion, without knowing the situation, it could easily cause mistakes.

Chen Yi comforted Donggong Ruoshu with a few words, seeing her mood had slightly calmed, she went off to wash up.

After washing up, she turned and stepped into the hall. The hall was empty, with only a small lamp on the table casting a warm yellow glow, the teapot that had just been used still retained some warmth, and a wisp of tea fragrance floated.

Chen Yi walked slowly along the aroma of tea, passing through a curtain, into the bedroom, knowing that the female crown had not gone to wash up, it was evident she carried the Dust Cleaning Talisman with her, not staining herself with any mundane filth.

The room was simply furnished, a bed and a cabinet, with a large desk set against the window, and writing materials arranged neatly on it. Yin Weiyin's elegant figure stood in front of the lamp, holding a brush in one hand, leaning slightly forward, seemingly examining the opened rice paper. Upon hearing footsteps, she did not immediately turn around, it wasn't until Chen Yi approached that she slowly turned her face.

"Are you writing poetry and lyrics again?"

Chen Yi walked to the desk, glanced at the paper, the words were elegant, the expressions clear and refined, yet difficult to understand, naturally failing to grasp the charm within, only noting the title consisted of three characters: Song of Cave Immortal.

Having just washed up, Chen Yi felt much more refreshed, and now rather interested, he examined the work beside her, sitting on the round stool next to her, he picked up the small clay pot on the table himself, pouring two cups of leftover tea, and pushed one over.

"With nothing else to do, shall I teach you how to write this?" Yin Weiyin put down the brush, straightened up, leisurely placing the brush on the oak pen stand.

"I won't learn."

"...You won't learn, but you need to start learning now."

"Not learning."

Chen Yi was not inclined, but the female crown was not annoyed either. At that moment, the dark clouds parted, the clear moon appeared beyond the window frame, illuminating the written work, she said lightly, "Tingxue once told me you enjoyed fantasies, once wanting to traverse time and stun the Tang and Song eras with poetry and words."

Did the Little Fox share such trivial things with Yin Weiyin? Chen Yi sipped some tea, furrowing his brow, no wonder the Great Yin's level seemed to be steadily rising, if that's how it is, why is the Little Fox doing such things, is she afraid she'll make it difficult for other women? Truly a master of manipulating power in the harem and recklessly controlling court politics with an inner alliance of pearls and jade.

Chen Yi pursed his lips, moistened his throat, and said, "Back then, I imagined copying that poem where one seeks him a thousand times in dreams, the Green Jade Case, she told me I don't know its origin and would reveal myself sooner or later."

Having read much web literature before, the most seen was that Green Jade Case, and specially composed for the Shangyuan, its references not apparent, truly applicable throughout the world and considered valid.

Yin Weiyin nodded slightly, and said, "Indeed, the Green Jade Case originates from 'The beautiful woman gifts me a brocade, how to repay is the Green Jade Case', and the Song of Cave Immortal, as its name suggests, derives from the Immortal, who prefers to dwell in caverns, hence collectively referred to as Cave Immortal."

Chen Yi quietly listened in.

Even knowing Great Yin never shies from discussing ascension and enlightenment in every word, yet still wanted to hear despite anything else, for the moonlight streaming through the lattice pouring a subtle glow on the lamp, casting a mix of warm and cold light, making her extraordinarily beautiful.

Watching how utterly beautiful Great Yin sometimes is, leaves one thinking of nothing, seemingly not too bad.

Yin Weiyin, however, wasn't pleased by his absent-mindedness, raising her brush, dipping some vermilion, she touched his forehead.

"What are you doing?"

"Marking you with the Immortal's mole."

"Meaningless."

"How so meaningless?" Seeing him neither listening here nor there, Yin Weiyin was slightly displeased, and said, "Ever since the carriage, I've noticed your distraction, knowing you were likely thinking about Liuyun Palace, Master Yunzhou's ascension turning into a demonic possession was beyond anyone's expectation, but this is a one-in-ten occasion, Liuyun Palace has not lacked successful ascensions either, not to be condemned entirely."

It was soothing.

Previously employing methods time and again, ultimately allowing him to witness the Immortal's appearance, originally hoping to advance further upon a ladder painstakingly climbed, yet unexpectedly, Master Yunzhou had such misfortune to turn into a demon, thinking this matter impacted Chen Yi deeply, shaking his Taoist Heart seeking immortality.

Chen Yi said flatly, "I haven't condemned it entirely, nor do I believe gaining immortality is a bad thing."

"That's good..." Yin Weiyin breathed a sigh of relief, receiving the tea from his hand playfully, "For I'm still a bit afraid you won't let me become an Immortal."

"Afraid to this extent?"

"Fear of the rope in the well ten years on."

If you deeply desire becoming an Immortal, yet have a woman who neither can you beat nor resist forcefully occupying you, with Chen Yi's Taoist Heart, only fearing he wouldn't endure beyond ten days before surrendering... Of course, this was Yin Weiyin's secret mockery, meant not to be taken seriously.

Currently Yin Weiyin observed his eyes, while he was willing to sit down for conversation now, mainly intended to set the mood for the upcoming intimacy later, allowing her free reign for now, for he liked cuddling women after those moments, speaking gently and tenderly, this was actually the time when he was most attentive.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "What I'm thinking isn't whether attaining immortality is good or bad, but rather, I don't think it's a good thing."

"...How is it not good?" Yin Weiyin was rather curious.

Chen Yi was not particularly drawn to her words, but Zhou Yitang was far away, and the Little Fox was absent, with only Yin Weiyin as his wife by his side.
