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

Chapter 174 Sunflower Sword Spike

Seeing her lowering her head with an indifferent look, Qi Yunjin curved his eyes and withdrew his gaze from Gu Junqing's forehead to the surroundings of the street.

In fact, Gu Junqing was a little hungry. No, he was even hungrier than before.

She looked at the nearby stalls and the scents coming into her nose from all directions. Gu Junqing pursed her lips, and a hint of regret and reluctance appeared in her eyes.

When she moved her eyes away from the stalls and looked ahead, she happened to meet Qi Yunjin's thoughtful eyes.

Gu Junqing smiled politely but awkwardly, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with Master Huang? What do you want me to do?" "Let's go. I'm hungry."

Qi Yunjin turned around and found a seat at the nearest noodle stall and sat down. Seeing Gu Junqing still standing there stupidly, he frowned and patted the empty seat next to him, motioning her to come over quickly.

Gu Junqing reacted and chose to sit opposite Qi Yunjin.

Compared with the last time, Qi Yunjin seemed much more familiar with it this time.

I also remember to tell the stall owner that I don’t want chopped green onions and garlic.

“Two bowls of beef noodles, one of them without chopped green onion and garlic”

Gu Junqing thought that the emperor also didn't like eating chopped green onions and garlic, so he didn't say much. He just sat there quietly, thinking about what happened in the brothel.

She wanted to ask the emperor, but seeing that the emperor didn't want to say more, Gu Junqing shut up, her face was as quiet as a chicken, and she could only think about it in her heart. When the noodles came, Qi Yunjin stretched out her hand and pushed one of the bowls in front of Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing looked at the noodles without chopped green onions and garlic in front of him, while the bowl with chopped green onions and garlic was in Qi Yunjin's own hand.

After she thanked the emperor in a stammering voice, she felt a little weird holding the noodles in her hands. She couldn't describe the feeling, but it was complicated and strangely touching.

Could it be that the current development is just like the plot in the storybook that Qinghe once mentioned, where a strong woman would be moved by a man who pays attention to details?

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment, and then Gu Junqing secretly cursed himself in his heart for not doing his job properly, having wrong thoughts, and being deeply poisoned by this crappy thing called the storybook.

What's more, the storybooks all have male and female protagonists, and I am a man on the surface, so how can I feel any sense of substitution? I'm just being sentimental.

After the two of them finished their noodles quietly, the emperor took out a piece of silver from his waist bag. This was the silver that Li Yuan had handed to him before he left with his men. Now he could use it.

The stall owner was an old man. When he saw that Qi Yunjin had given too much silver, he quickly waved his hands and said that he had given too much and he couldn't make the change. In the end, Gu Junqing had to step forward and pay the few copper coins to settle the matter.

However, Qi Yunjin's face didn't seem very good. It seemed that she had lost the emperor's face.

Gu Junqing, who was quite self-aware, had a wandering look in his eyes and was a little afraid to look at the emperor's expression.

The emperor felt uncomfortable as it was the first time that his subjects treated him to a meal. He weighed the wallet in his hand, thinking that he couldn't eat Gu Junqing's bowl of noodles for free.

It just so happened that the jade shop in front was still open.

So Qi Yunjin told Gu Junqing that he wanted to go to the jade shop to take a look.

The emperor can go wherever he wants. What else can Gu Junqing say? He can only agree with him from the side.

It just so happened that the owner of this jade shop knew Gu Junqing. In the past, this was Qinghe and Qingyi's favorite shop to visit. Whenever they came here, they would definitely take her with them.

So when the shop owner saw her coming, he smiled widely and ignored Qi Yunjin, the living person standing next to her. Qi Yunjin watched the shop owner asking Gu Junqing all kinds of questions without changing her expression.

Gu Junqing's face was filled with embarrassment. She told the shopkeeper that she was not there to buy jade, but the person standing next to her was the one who came, and she was merely there to accompany him.

After hearing this, the shop owner reluctantly let Gu Junqing go and stood lazily beside Qi Yunjin, with their attitudes obviously very different.

Seeing Qi Yunjin's half-smiling gaze on him, Gu Junqing lowered his eyes, trying to pretend not to see it, and calmed down.

However, it was almost useless for the shopkeeper to stand next to Qi Yunjin, because Qi Yunjin just wanted to look for it slowly by himself at this time, without anyone's advice. Qi Yunjin finally chose a sunflower sword tassel carved from fine white jade, and spent five hundred taels of silver.

Gu Junqing was shocked at the emperor's generosity and the fact that he bought this sword tassel that seemed to be of no use without blinking an eye. Is it worth spending five hundred taels for something that can only be looked at but not used?

It would be better to buy an extra sword.

She didn't understand. All of Gu Junqing's savings were either spent on food or weapons.

Gu Junqing, who seldom bought things like jade pendants, shook his head and didn't think about it any more.

Seeing the emperor generously handing the money to the shopkeeper, Gu Junqing was speechless. Seeing the emperor treating the sword tassel with some treasure, she thought to herself, could it be that the emperor wanted to start decorating the sword in his hand recently?

"It is said that General Gu got a thing called the long-sleeved knife. I wonder if you can take it out and let me take a look at it." Qi Yunjin moved his eyes away from the sword tassel and placed them on the position on Gu Junqing's waist. He remembered that the long-sleeved knife was in this position.

Gu Junqing hesitated for a moment, then obediently took out the long-sleeved knife from his waist and handed it to him.

Qi Yunjin took it with his left hand.

He just looked at the cylinder in silence for a moment, and didn't ask anything out of curiosity. He looked at the cylinder carefully, thinking about where to hang the sword tassel. His eyes moved and he found it.

So he hung the sword tassel in the inconspicuous small round hole under the cylinder.

After tying it tightly, Qi Yunjin returned the long-sleeved knife.

Gu Junqing took the long-sleeved knife in his hand, looked at the sunflower sword tassel hanging below and swaying left and right, raised his head in shock, looked at the emperor, and asked:

"So Mr. Huang bought this sword tassel as a gift for me? I thought..."

Qi Yunjin raised an eyebrow and helped Gu Junqing finish the sentence: "...bought it for yourself?"

"I don't use the long sword often, so what's the use of the sword tassel? General Gu carries this knife every day. Isn't it wonderful to match the long sword with a good jade..."

It’s just that this sword is a bit unique, so it’s not a big problem.

Gu Junqing hung the long-sleeved knife back to her waist and put it away. Hearing what the emperor said, she pursed her lips, thinking that this sword tassel was worth five hundred taels. Was the emperor keeping five hundred taels on her? If she accidentally lost it one day, she would be heartbroken.

If you lose yourself, you will become a prodigal son, which is painful.

I made up my mind to keep this sunflower sword tassel well.

only……

It is hard to refuse the gift from the emperor, Gu Junqing thought, otherwise it would be nice to give something in return to show his gratitude. Although Gu Junqing wanted to directly take out the five hundred silver taels and return it to Qi Yunjin, if he did so, Gu Junqing believed that his future life might be miserable.
