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

Chapter 160 Men and women sit together

"maybe"

Ji Rang let out a breath and said uncertainly.

However, they really had no idea where Duke Shen was. With so many people around, if they went to look for him again, someone would surely suspect that they were up to something.

Duke Shen is not here at the moment, so the situation has temporarily fallen to Marquis Jingyuan to handle.

It is said that Duke Shen himself agreed to it.

So the scene was a little messy, and Gu Junqing felt a headache when he saw it.

What happened next was even more troubling. Shen Lian'er, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came to the front yard from the backyard. In front of her was Duke Shen. Could it be that Duke Shen was in the backyard just now, where was the eldest princess?

If that was the case, no wonder they didn't find anyone. Gu Junqing frowned, not having time to think about anything else. He just glanced at Shen Lian'er sitting behind him and thought it was ridiculous.

Ji Rang on the left couldn't help but turn around and look at Shen Lian'er who was sitting at the table behind Gu Junqing. His expression was not good, but his smile faded a little, and his tone was a little cold. He said:

"Miss Shen is not sitting in the women's seat. Why is she sitting in the men's seat?"

Listening to Ji Rang's slightly cold question, Shen Lian'er's delicate smile did not change, but became even more gentle. She looked at Ji Rang's answer. In fact, the meaning of her words was all directed at Gu Junqing, and her tone was a little aggrieved:

"In fact, it's not just my side. The other adults have other people. The Prime Minister may have forgotten that during the lotus viewing banquet, female relatives can actually come to the men's side, but they must sit behind the adults and watch. It's okay if the Prime Minister forgot, but how come General Gu didn't know about it? I still feel wronged for receiving a few cold stares from the adults..."

Ji Rang: “?”

Ji Rang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know that the female relatives would come to the men's side. At the same time, he clearly remembered that female relatives were not allowed to come to the men's side. What on earth was going on with this year's lotus viewing banquet? !

But Shen Lian'er in front of him had an innocent look on her face, as if this rule had been in place for a long time and was so natural.

"No way, there was no such rule in the previous times. This is nonsense. Who changed it?"

Gu Jiyan, who was sitting on the right side of Gu Junqing, stared at Shen Lian'er and spoke unkindly.

Since Gu Jiyan could say the word "nonsense", it seems that they were really making trouble.

Although the separation between men and women in Da Qi is not particularly strict now, as long as there is not too much physical contact, it is fine. However, according to the thinking of most men here, it would be embarrassing for women to listen in when men are discussing matters.

It's really inappropriate. Anyone can sit behind me, why Shen Lian'er?

Gu Junqing thought secretly in his heart.

However, he saw another person coming in front of him, who happened to be Duke Shen. The two looked at each other, and Duke Shen spoke first:

"General Gu, my daughter is sitting behind you. If there is anything I did wrong, please bear with me. Shen will naturally apologize for my daughter."

Gu Junqing had no intention of arguing with Duke Shen. He just nodded and responded indifferently.

However, the two people beside him were a little uneasy. They stood up at the same time and looked at Duke Shen.

Ji Rang spoke first: "I wonder what Duke Shen meant by asking the female relatives to come to our men's table?"

As expected, Lord Shen smiled slightly: "Nothing special, it's just that seeing only men at the men's table makes me feel like something is missing. Now that the women are sitting behind me, won't it make the men's table more lively? If you don't believe me, just take a look..."

Several people subconsciously looked in the direction of Duke Shen's finger and found that this group of ministers and their female relatives were getting along harmoniously. Most of them had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.

After all, behind him is either his daughter or his fiancée.

As for the rest, the unfavored daughters in the family were forced to sit behind those unlearned, playful and lustful young men or those scoundrels.

They were happy, but the daughter looked depressed, as if she was about to cry.

The three of them were silent for a while, then they retracted their gazes and returned their eyes to the smiling Duke Shen. Gu Junqing frowned and asked:

"Duke Shen suddenly tampered with the rules of the Lotus Appreciation Banquet in previous years. When the Emperor comes here later and finds out, are you sure he won't blame me?"

In fact, these words also contain a bit of warning and temptation.

Warn Duke Shen not to go too far, and test where he got the courage to do such a thing.

Duke Shen naturally understood what Gu Junqing meant. An old fox is still an old fox after all. Even though Gu Junqing said this, he still had a happy smile on his face. He just sighed and looked at Gu Junqing gently as if he was treating a naughty child.

"How dare I make such a decision on my own? It's just that the princess needs my help, and I dare not disobey her."

Gu Junqing opened his eyes slightly, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes. It was actually arranged by the eldest princess? ! And asked Duke Shen to help arrange it! ?

Ji Rang and Gu Ji Yan, who were standing on the left and right, did not expect such an answer. Like Gu Junqing, they were both stunned and could not understand why the princess did this.

As the eldest sister of the Emperor, the most noble woman in the world and the daughter of the royal family of Da Qi, the Princess should have been wholeheartedly thinking about the royal family of Da Qi. Doesn't she know that the minister who is most harmful to their royal family of Qi is the Duke Shen in front of her!

Doesn't she know?

Anyway, the three of them didn't believe it, but the eldest princess definitely knew it very clearly.

The three people couldn't figure out why the princess made such arrangements. They could only watch in silence as Duke Shen made an excuse to leave after saying this. Their hearts were filled with darkness and complexity.

Forget it, forget it. As ministers, how could they easily guess what the royal family is thinking?

The three of them thought so in their hearts and decided to turn a blind eye to it. They sat back in their seats without even looking at the three girls sitting behind them. They just drank their wine and had their tea, chatting at the same time.

The three of them thought so and did so, but the three girls behind them were also stubborn. They all obeyed their father's orders or they were shy and happy that the person in front of them was their sweetheart, and they wanted to express themselves.

"Sir," the girl sitting behind Ji Rang said softly with a red face and shining eyes looking at him.

Gu Junqing and Gu Jiyan both opened their eyes, one looking at Ji Rang with amusement and the other with teasing.

Ji Rang glanced coldly at the two people who were watching the show. He didn't want to pay attention to them, but he didn't want to offend the girl, so he turned around and asked, "...What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency's cup of tea is empty. Would you like me to pour you another cup?"
