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

Chapter 190 Game

Gu Junqing knew it, and some ministers who were quite fond of the guqin also knew it.

At that time, after Gu Junqing's song came out, other ministers wanted to know the music score, but they were too embarrassed to go to her, so they sent people everywhere to look for it. In the end, they found nothing, so they gave up. At one point, the ministers in the capital believed that only Gu Junqing could play this song.

So what does it mean that Shen Lian'er is playing this piece now?

She wouldn't want to tell everyone that this was taught to her by Gu Junqing, right?

Misled by the rumors, everyone subconsciously attributed the reason why Shen Lian'er could play this piece to Gu Junqing's personal teaching.

Gu Junqing noticed the eyes staring at her from all directions, her face full of black lines. She knew what they were thinking, but she couldn't jump out at this time to explain that she had never taught Shen Lian'er anything, and she had only met her a few times. Even if she had met her, their conversation had not exceeded more than twenty sentences in total.

Ji Rang sat aside, trying to comfort her, saying: "Think positively, at least I'm just looking at you now without saying anything."

Are you still thinking about what they will say?

Gu Junqing thought, it would be better if you didn't say that.

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes, trying his best not to pay attention to the looks around him, but he still couldn't control the impatience on his face.

She didn't understand why the girl's mind was so difficult to deal with. She had clearly rejected Shen Lian'er countless times, but she still didn't give up. Would she have to wait for her to say in person, "The general has no intention of loving you. Please stop doing these useless things, Miss Shen," before she would be satisfied?

Gu Junqing thought that he was a person with short patience. The reason he could endure until now and still consider the face of this girl was only because he was grateful to Shen Lian'er for her kindness in his previous life and for not making her secret of disguising herself as a man public at the first opportunity.

If Shen Lian'er continues to challenge her bottom line, don't blame her for being rude to Duke Shen.

When the song ended, Shen Lian'er's face was half covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of dark and bright eyes. After looking around, her gaze was firmly fixed on Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing couldn't pretend that she didn't see it, but she was now very annoyed and unhappy because of their relentless attitude. Even if she noticed it, she would not even look at Shen Lian'er.

Shen Lian'er withdrew her gaze with a look of disappointment, turned around and walked behind the scenes, no longer showing up in public.

When some ministers saw this, they just silently thought that Gu Junqing was unromantic.

After a while, Duke Shen stood in the center of the banquet and told the ministers to play a simple game to relax and have fun. From the expression on his face, he seemed to be annoyed by these songs, dances and poems. There were other novel games, so how could the other ministers not be happy? Naturally, they all echoed and responded.

Ji Rang turned his head to look at Gu Junqing, who was looking down at something. He paused for a moment, then continued to say what he had not yet finished:

"I'm afraid this game has a purpose. Be careful."

Gu Junqing was not the kind of person who would not listen to advice. After Ji Rang finished speaking, she nodded to show that she understood.

In fact, this game sounds very simple. The ministers form a circle around the wooden table in the middle. There is a circle of wine on the wooden table, corresponding to the person sitting in front of it. There is a cone in the center of the wooden table, with the point on top and the circle on the bottom.

One person is needed to shake the cone to make it rotate. The person in the direction the tip points to after it stops rotating is selected. Then he or she gets to improvise a poem or perform something else. If he or she fails, he or she will have to drink three cups as punishment.

After being penalized, the next step is for the penalized person to turn the cone.

Of course, you don't play it all the time. There is a time limit and rewards. Within a certain period of time, the person who drinks the least and is chosen by the cone is the final winner.

The final winner can get the only painting from the previous dynasty hidden in Duke Shen's private vault as a gift.

This is a bit new, and many ministers expressed their eagerness to try it out.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong. Gu Junqing glanced at Duke Shen who was sitting in the middle of the crowd and smiling. But she felt that something was wrong. She looked at the cone quietly placed in the middle and remained silent.

The game begins.

Since it was Duke Shen who came up with the idea for this game, he should be the first to play it now.

He moved his wrist slightly, and the first person chosen was Ji Rang who was beside Gu Junqing.

Ji Rang had no reason to refuse, so he just improvised a few lines of poetry. After all the ministers present expressed their satisfaction, he sat down without any further ado.

It was his turn next, and he happened to turn to Luo Xingzhi, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was sitting opposite him.

Fortunately, Luo Xingzhi's talent was well-known in the capital, and he was recognized by ministers and people. For Luo Xingzhi, improvisation was not a difficult task, and soon he was the next one. After playing a few games in this way, the time that was originally agreed to take two incense sticks was only half an incense stick left.

Gu Junqing looked at the cone in the middle with some confusion, but he couldn't see anything with the naked eye.

The time for the two incense sticks was almost up, and the number of times I was picked by the tip of the cone was only a few and no more than five fingers.

Only three times in total.

Ji Rang also felt that it was a bit weird. The person sitting next to him and Gu Junqing were only chosen three times, while he was chosen thirteen times. Ji Rang was playing this game by Duke Shen to the point of doubting his life. Finally, the last half incense stick passed.

During this half incense stick, Gu Junqing was only chosen once, while Ji Rang was chosen three times. As for Luo Xingzhi, who was sitting opposite him, he was even worse off than Ji Rang, having been chosen twenty times during the two incense sticks.

Others may have done it five times, if not ten times.

So everyone present turned their eyes to Gu Junqing, with looks filled with strangeness, resentment, envy, and other emotions.

Gu Junqing could only grit his teeth and accept these gazes.

At this time, Duke Shen stood up. His expression was still kind. He stood beside Gu Junqing and congratulated him.

The other ministers had no choice but to follow suit and offer hypocritical congratulations.

This game only needs to be played once; playing it more than once would be boring, so Duke Shen asked people to clear away everything on the wooden table, put the center position back to its original state, and then all the ministers returned to their seats.

Gu Junqing originally wanted to sit back in the corner, but he became the winner in the game and the one who was chosen the least. So this remote place became eye-catching because of Gu Junqing's presence there.

Duke Shen is still dealing with some things now, and Duke Shen has to talk about the prizes mentioned just now in person.

Gu Junqing was not interested in the prize. What she cared about more was that there might be something wrong with the cone, but she had no evidence.
