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

Chapter 189 Boredom

Three days passed quickly.

During these three days, nothing else happened. Apart from the news of Prince An's demotion reaching the ears of the people in the capital, they did not seem to have much reaction. They were not as interested as the romantic affair between Gu Junqing and Shen Lian'er a few days ago.

And as time went on, the rumors about Gu Junqing's marriage to Duke Shen's daughter Shen Lian'er seemed more and more true.

The news was so incredible that there was even a rumor that the two would get married tomorrow. For a time, the capital city was much more lively than in previous years.

Gu Junqing only wanted to send someone to stop the rumors from spreading, but before she could take action, the focus of the topic in the capital suddenly began to shift to the fact that a certain minister in the court happened to run into his wife who was out for a walk on the way to Yihong Tower. Catching an adulterer in the act was also the most popular topic among the people at the time.

The limelight between Gu Junqing and Shen Lian'er showed signs of fading.

However, there was another gossip that Gu Junqing would visit his father-in-law in three days.

It's really like one thing is not yet resolved when another one arises.

Gu Junqing was speechless, while Qi Yunjin had a frown on his face.

He clearly asked people to suppress these rumors, and even tried to divert people's attention to such boring things, but all his efforts were wasted in less than a day. Qi Yunjin really gave up on doing these things, and had to endure the inexplicable resentment in his heart, watching Gu Junqing attend the banquet hosted by Duke Shen three days later.

He was busy dealing with the people and things around Prince An, and dealing with the aftermath, so it seemed like he couldn't go...

Qi Yunjin frowned, came back to his senses, and felt that his thoughts were beginning to become hesitant.

He regained his composure, focused his attention on the person in front of him, and continued what he had not finished saying.

Gu Junqing didn't know that the person who was trying to help him stop the rumors was Qi Yunjin. Now three days have passed.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, Ji Rang, who had been waiting for her outside for who knows how long, came up to her and asked:

"What if you bring back a wife? Otherwise, don't go. Tell me you have a cold and can't come. I'll help you pass the message."

To say this. Gu Junqing laughed.

Then she pointed at a person standing behind her and said to Ji Rang, "See that person behind me? He was sent by Duke Shen to invite me. It's obviously not feasible to say that you can't go now because of something."

Ji Rang made a sound of "tsk", staring at the man behind Gu Junqing, his face full of impatience. The man who was stared at by Ji Rang shuddered and quickly avoided meeting his gaze.

Seeing that he lowered his head and Ji Rang was not looking at him, he said to Gu Junqing: "General Gu, did you walk to the Shen Mansion by yourself?"

Gu Junqing nodded: "The Shen Mansion is not far from the General's Mansion. It only takes half an hour to walk there, so there is no need to take a carriage."

But it only takes two incense sticks to get there by carriage...

He seemed to have never seen Gu Junqing ride in a carriage.

So he asked, "General, why don't you take a carriage? Wouldn't it be faster to travel that way?"

Gu Junqing looked at him puzzledly and asked, "Why should I rush to the banquet?"

Ji Rang choked: "..."

That makes sense. This rhetorical question successfully brought Ji Rang in.

He had originally thought of inviting Gu Junqing to ride in his carriage to the Shen Mansion, but now he was afraid that was not necessary because he was also going to the Shen Mansion on foot with Gu Junqing.

Why are you rushing to the party? Are you looking for trouble?

Ji Rang nodded and said, "Then let's go together."

Gu Junqing didn't ask any further questions. If Ji Rang wanted to follow him, then he could follow him. There was only one way, and he couldn't stop him.

The two of them felt that there was no problem. The poor servant from the Shen residence had come to the general's residence early in the morning to wait for Gu Junqing. When he arrived at the Shen residence, Duke Shen asked him about it. How should he explain it?

Half an hour later, the group finally arrived at the Shen Mansion on foot.

Almost all the ministers who had received invitations had arrived. When they heard the gate of the mansion open, they subconsciously looked over there. When they saw Gu Junqing, there was a hint of mockery in their eyes.

Ji Rang stood in front of Gu Junqing, which was enough to block some of his view.

Gu Junqing, however, walked around him and sat in the most secluded place on the entire seat, not looking affected at all. He was even in the mood to drink tea.

Ji Rang looked at her, raised his eyebrows, sat down next to her and started talking to her.

Duke Shen is not in the main courtyard now, and no one knows where he has gone. Anyway, the one watching the banquet now is Shen Qingzhu, the eldest son of the Shen family.

When Duke Shen came out, he was followed by a young girl in pink clothes, who was gorgeous and delicate, like a fine peony waiting to be picked.

It was Shen Lian'er, the legitimate daughter of Duke Shen.

However, Shen Lian'er followed behind Duke Shen, her eyes always looking at the banquet seats, as if she was looking for something.

When everyone saw this, no one said anything. After all, any discerning person could see that Shen Lian'er was looking for Gu Junqing.

However, Gu Junqing was now sitting in the most remote place among the seats, so it was not easy to find the person.

When Shen Lian'er saw Gu Junqing, Duke Shen was already calling her.

She had to look away before she could take a few more glances, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but she quickly adjusted herself, walked to the left side of Duke Shen, and listened to him quietly.

At first, Duke Shen did not say anything to Gu Junqing.

While Gu Junqing was enjoying her leisure time, she also knew that a big move was probably reserved for her later. However, Gu Junqing was not in a hurry and was in a good mood while joking with Ji Rang.

Until Shen Qingzhu noticed the two of them, then came up to them and insisted on chatting and joking with them. Although there were many awkward moments, Ji Rang and Gu Junqing didn't mind much.

After all, the intention was not pure and the jokes were a bit stiff, and they understood.

A banquet cannot be without songs, dances and poems, so a group of dancers gathered in the center of the banquet, and singing girls played music in the aisle next to them.

Gu Junqing and Ji Rang were in a very remote position, so their vision was blocked. They could only see the heads of the ministers in front of them, and some of the graceful movements of their sleeves, which looked quite good.

This was Ji Rang's evaluation. It was funny that they could only see these, but Ji Rang actually thought it was beautiful. Gu Junqing smiled and shook his head, not responding to his words.

Shen Lian'er had no intention of going on stage to perform her dancing skills, but after the dance music ended, she did play a piece of guqin.

And this piano sound is very familiar.

Gu Junqing sat up straighter and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the source of the piano sound.

It was played by Shen Lian'er.

This ancient guqin piece was played by Gu Junqing at the Spring Banquet. It was an ancient piece that amazed everyone and outshone everyone else.

Gu Junqing remembered clearly that he had never taught Shen Lian'er how to play. Could it be that Duke Shen had invited a musician who could play the same instrument from somewhere?

The melody of this song is almost impossible to find, making it a lost song.
