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

Chapter 162 Mo Lian

Liu Yanyan stood there for a while before leaving.

Gu Junqing and Ji Rang, who had been hiding in the dark and watching for a long time, stood up. They first glanced around and saw that there was no one. Then they walked out of the dark and stood where Shen Qingzhu and Liu Yanyan had just stood.

"The girl just now is called Liu Yanyan. Which family is she from?"

Ji Rang turned his eyes to look at Gu Junqing and asked.

Gu Junqing was speechless, because she really couldn't help it. She rolled her eyes and let Ji Rang experience it himself.

"...I forgot that you just returned to the capital for more than three months. You were busy with other things and didn't remember these things."

Ji Rang said with a wry smile. "Let's put Liu Yanyan's matter aside for now. The focus now is that the eldest princess and Shen Qingyi actually have such a relationship. The eldest princess actually likes the eldest son of the Shen family. If this is the case, then there seems to be an explanation for the men and women sitting together today."

Gu Junqing hesitated and spoke.

"The eldest princess is on the side of the Shen family. Does the emperor know?"

Ji Rang asked.

"I don't know, maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't know, the emperor never said anything about the eldest princess."

"Forget it, forget it. I have been here for a while. The lotus viewing banquet has already begun. I will talk to the emperor about this matter next time."

"Well, let's go"

The two returned to their original positions, and facing Gu Jiyan's resentful gaze, they picked up the wine glasses on the table and took a sip without changing their expressions.

"Where have you two been? Why did you take so long to come back?" Seeing this complaining tone, Ji Rang couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Gu Jiyan, and said in a teasing tone:

"Why, didn't Prince Gu say that he is the most popular among women? Why are you not happy to have a woman accompany him for fun? Do you want me and General Gu to accompany you?"

If possible, Gu Jiyan really wanted to pour the cup of tea in his hand onto the face of Ji Rang, this annoying man, to vent his anger.

He said unhappily, "Don't you see that there is no girl here with me? Even the girl who was supposed to sit behind me has disappeared! As for the other girls, can I just chat them up at will?"

Indeed, it doesn't work.

Ji Rang nodded. Seeing Gu Jiyan like this, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart, so he comforted him:

"Think about it another way. Maybe it's because there are few people on your side, so the girl doesn't dare to approach you."

The only thing missing was five people around him. "...Prime Minister Ji, please continue drinking."

An hour passed, and when all the ministers had almost nothing to talk about, the emperor finally arrived.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they saluted each other.

Qi Yunjin didn't look at them, but simply waved his hand to let them stand up, and sat on the high seat that Duke Shen had already sent someone to prepare. He turned his eyes and looked at the people below, and frowned:

"Duke Shen, why are men and women seated together?"

It turns out that the emperor didn’t know about this.

The ministers below who were unaware of the situation were all thinking this in their hearts.

Duke Shen said the same thing as Gu Junqing and the others, and directed everyone's attention to the eldest princess.

It happened that the princess was sitting on the right side of Qi Yunjin. He lowered his eyes to glance at the princess, his eyes were full of emotion, and no one could tell what Qi Yunjin was thinking. But after just a glance, Qi Yunjin withdrew his gaze and said nothing more. He said in a calm voice that there would be no extra words after the banquet started, as if he had tacitly agreed to this rule.

Everyone looked happy on the surface, but suspicion was surging in their hearts.

No matter what they think, the banquet must continue. Since the emperor has arrived, it is time for the princes and ministers to take turns showing their talents.

No one dared to give Gu Junqing a slap in the face at this banquet. After all, at the Spring Banquet, Young Master Yu lost to Gu Junqing too miserably. Everyone saw it and it was too impressive. No one dared to show off in front of Gu Junqing. If they couldn't win, they could only compete with other people.

The shadow was too heavy. Young Master Yu, who used to love showing off his talents in front of everyone, was particularly silent at this year's lotus viewing banquet and spoke hardly anything.

Gu Junqing was too lazy to care about these things. It would be best if no one found fault with him. However, the two people sitting next to him were targeted. They didn't know why. Compared with Ji Rang, Gu Jiyan was a little more relaxed. After all, he went on stage just to embarrass himself. He always didn't care.

If Ji Rang loses, he will be ridiculed and laughed at by everyone present.

Fortunately, Ji Rang lived up to everyone's expectations and won first place in all the competitions.

Some ministers who were keen on watching the fun wanted to have a competition between Ji Rang and Gu Junqing, but they were all rejected by Ji Rang with the words that he did not think he could compare with General Gu and was afraid that if General Gu took the field, he would be unable to help but admit defeat.

The ministers did not make things difficult for Ji Rang. After all, if Ji Rang lost, it would mean that they, the civil officials, had lost to the military officials, which was really embarrassing.

After this round, it’s time to go to the lotus pond in the Shen Mansion after having enough food and drink.

Lotus, also known as lotus. Duke Shen has always liked lotus, so every year he would send his subordinates to search for various lotus flowers and plant them in the courtyard of his own mansion.

The same is true this year.

There are various kinds of water lilies, sunrises, pink lanceolate, lotus with two stems, etc., which make people dazzled and dazzled.

Although there are many varieties of lotus, all of them are precious species that few people can see, but the focus this year is not on these, but on the black lotus.

It is not known where Duke Shen got the information about the Black Lotus, but he sent people everywhere to look for it. It is said that it took three months before he managed to get a few plants.

As the name suggests, the black lotus has petals that are ink-colored in the middle with a hint of snow-white on the outside. The center of the flower is pink with a hint of red, and there are several stamens standing in the center, which are pink and white with a fragrance, and look very pleasing to the eye.

However, before coming to the Shen Mansion, almost no one present had ever seen what Mo Lian looked like. They just heard the descriptions and praises of Mo Lian from others and thought that Mo Lian was pretty.

People always maintain a certain curiosity and scrutiny towards things they have never seen. Perhaps a beautiful thing can be perfect or just garbage with a little praise or slander from others.

The black lotus is the former, and its beauty lives up to everyone's love and praise for it.

It stands in the middle of the pond, blooming beautifully and standing out among the daffodils and water lilies, catching the eye.

All the ministers were captivated by the beautiful lotus. Gu Junqing shifted his gaze away from the black lotus and turned to look opposite.

The pond they came to was the largest pond in the Shen Mansion. At first glance, they couldn't see where the other side ended. In the distance, they could only see rows of willows swaying in the wind.
