The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 158 Lotus Appreciation Banquet

As for what kind of revenge...

Gu Junqing thought to himself.

Zhang Qing is really shameless and likes to seek death. He wants to get his younger sister, but also wants to get his older sister who is already married.

Then Chu Xuan was kidnapped to Zhang's house, and Chu Xuan was forced to spend a night with Zhang Qing. Even so, Zhang Qing did not let Chu Xuan go, but used Chu Xuan as a hostage to lure Chu You out.

Zhang Qing was indeed successful, and both sisters were won over by Zhang Qing.

Such a big thing happened, his wife and sister-in-law were abused by Zhang Qing, Ye Xiuci naturally could not accept it, but he did not abandon them. He tried his best to rescue Chu You and Chu Xuan from Zhang's house. As for how Ye Xiuci did it, Ji Rang did not say much, but directly told her that the two sisters were rescued by Ye Xiuci, but Ye Xiuci lost his life because of it.

Chu Xuan watched her husband die tragically, so naturally she wanted to follow him, but Chu You was with her at the time, so Chu Xuan could only flee with Chu You. Sadly, the two of them could not escape the pursuit of a group of Zhang Mansion guards, but Chu Xuan used her body to block the knife, buying time for Chu You to escape. Chu You was of course unwilling, but in the end, for some unknown reason, Chu You ran away.

But to be more specific, Chu You hid somewhere and watched the death of his own sister.

Next to her was the guard with a broken leg who had taken her out of the capital that year.

Therefore, Zhang Qing's death was purely his own fault and was not unfair, even though he was an official in the court.

However, the above is somewhat related to the divorce of the wife of Marquis Changyuan.

After all, we all know how the wife of Changyuan Hou treated Chuyou and Chuxuan, and how she and Zhang Qing forced Chuyou and her sister into a desperate situation, leading to the death of Chuxuan and Ye Xiuci and his wife.

The Chu Mansion has never tolerated such vicious women.

Gu Junqing's brows relaxed slightly, he just felt that this matter was absurd and boring. There was not only one person like Zhang Qing in the world. There must be other people with the same moral character as Zhang Qing, or even worse than Zhang Qing in the court. There were quite a lot of them, all of whom had bad habits caused by their obsession with profit.

Now everyone in the court is behaving themselves and not taking any action, but the old accounts concerning this group of people can still be discussed in detail.

In southern Fujian, Chuyou’s affairs came to an end.

Reborn in the dusk snow, after three and a half months, I took off my heavy and wide brocade sleeves and put on a thin and cool chiffon long gown. It was the beginning of summer.

It also means that the annual lotus viewing banquet is approaching.

Gu Junqing has always disliked activities like banquets. After all, a banquet means that one or several people will be used by some powerful person as the best opportunity to harm or slander others.

So when she received such an invitation, the first thing she did was to find Qingyi to help her decline it.

But it wasn't possible. This banquet was hosted by the eldest princess. If I didn't go, it would be a disrespect to the eldest princess, or it would cause other ministers to suspect me. After all, this was the third banquet that all ministers would attend after Gu Junqing returned to the capital from the border.

Gu Junqing had no choice but to hand the invitation to Qingyin and ask her to keep it properly despite her unwillingness.

"Ugh"

"Master, why are you sighing?"

Ye Shan glanced at Gu Junqing, who was sitting in the pavilion not far away, looking at the pond and wondering what he was thinking about, and then looked at Shi Yulin in front of him. Hearing him sigh, he asked in confusion.

After all, he is just a child.

Shi Yulin squatted down and looked at Ye Shan in front of him, touched his little head, and saw that his eyes were clear and pure, as innocent as a deer in the forest, his smile was childish, and he was full of childishness, like a little dumpling. He exhaled, changed Ye Shan's question, and said:

"Nothing, I just wonder what General Gu is doing recently?"

Ye Shan did not notice that Shi Yulin was trying to change the subject. After hearing what he said, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Gu Junqing again and tilted his head in confusion:

"Master, have you come up with anything?"

Shi Yulin: "No, so if I can't think of anything, I'll try another one. Let me think, did you, Ye Shan, steal the osmanthus cake again?"

The brat Ye Shan himself quickly shook his head, and turned and ran away the next moment.

Gu Junqing was sitting not far away. He glanced at the two of them and then looked away. He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake he had just bought and ate it slowly.

Now Shi Yulin also knows about his apprentice's life experience, and seems to be quite distressed. It seems that he really regards Ye Shan as an apprentice whom he truly needs to take care of, which is very good.

Chu You's problem has been solved, but Shen Yang's death has yet to be investigated.

After all, Duke Shen has kept this matter very secret, and up to now, no one knows where to start. Even if Gu Junqing wants to sneak into the Shen Mansion again, she will probably be discovered soon. The risk is too great, and she cannot act rashly. Alerting the enemy once is enough.

In recent days, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about her. He rarely sent her out to investigate people or do things, and he had no intention of seeing her. Every time he saw her, he was always awkward. She didn't know why. Could it be because her appearance was not satisfactory?

Gu Junqing touched his smooth, white face and inexplicably narcissistically brushed aside the previous thought.

She's at least decent looking.

Could it be that Prince Qing and Prince Yuan will have to rush back to the capital in a few days to attend the lotus viewing banquet with all the ministers?

Perhaps. But Prince An cannot attend the banquet, after all, he is still under house arrest, and he has to wait until the banquet is over and the two princes are completely free.

After a few days of leisure, the two princes, Prince Qing and Prince Yuan, came to Beijing.

The court, which had been calm as water, suddenly became noisy. Perhaps another way to put it is that the storm is brewing and the people have arrived. It's time for a bloody storm.

Qi Yunjin still had a faint smile on his face as usual, knowing that the two princes had returned to the capital. No matter their attitude or what they said, it was all calm and peaceful, as if they were just ordinary guests who came to visit his doorstep and looked indifferent.

The one who was just a disfavored prince ascended the throne and became the ruler of the world, while the two princes who were favored when the late emperor was still alive became just ordinary princes.

The three of them must have felt the difference. Except for the strange look on the face of Prince Qing, Qi Yunjin and Prince Yuan still looked like smiling tigers. They just stopped there, held a simple welcome ceremony, said a few simple greetings, and sent the people away.

They are just strangers and competitors with a subtle blood relationship, nothing more.

The lotus leaves are infinite, and the lotus flowers are different.

The lotus viewing banquet has begun.

Gu Junqing found his seat and sat down, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
