Chapter 193: Incomprehensible style

After hearing what Gu Junqing said, both of them looked at her with confusion, as if asking what was wrong.

Gu Junqing looked at them, as if she had thought of something. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said with a laugh:

"Maybe my sitting posture was a little weird, with my knees resting on the dark corner of the wooden table."

Gu Junqing just felt that he had a lot of problems. For example, when he sat on a chair, he would unconsciously like to cross his legs. Fortunately, this little action would only occur when there was a table in front of him. If not, then this would not happen. After all, he was an honest person.

So when her knees touched the dark corner of the wooden table, she could clearly feel that when the cone turned, the place where her knees rested would also turn slightly.

Like some kind of delicate and precise mechanism.

Before the two of them could say anything, Gu Junqing spoke first and expressed his thoughts just now.

After listening to her, Ji Rang hesitated and asked, "If that's the case, Duke Shen didn't get anything good from playing this game. Isn't this just a waste of time? What's the point?"

Of course, as soon as he said this, he thought of something and immediately shut up.

Luo Xingzhi was still in a state of confusion. Seeing Ji Rang suddenly shut up, he turned to look at Gu Junqing and asked her tentatively:

"Could it be that Duke Shen is after you, General Gu?"

The two of them looked at him, and Luo Xingzhi understood what they wanted to say, so he also shut up, but then he couldn't help but said:

"If I hadn't been there at the lotus pond, it would be hard to say how things would have developed next." Ji Rang didn't know that they had encountered Shen Lian'er at that time. After hearing what Luo Xingzhi said, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he asked him what was wrong.

Luo Xingzhi glanced at Gu Junqing and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he told Ji Rang everything that had happened at that time.

After listening to this, Ji Rang looked at Gu Junqing with a slightly complicated look.

At this time, Luo Xingzhi was still laughing and joking:

"...General Gu really doesn't understand romance"

Luo Xingzhi thought that it was Gu Junqing who spoke first, but unexpectedly it was Ji Rang who spoke first. Judging from his tone, he was still defending her. He only heard him say:

"General Gu is busy with government affairs right now. It's too early to think about love affairs. There's no rush."

Gu Junqing looked at Ji Rang in surprise at first, but it was obvious that what he said was directed at her and made sense, so she nodded in agreement. After the simple dinner, Luo Xingzhi paid the bill in the end, and no one knew when he paid. Gu Junqing and Ji Rang looked at him.

Luo Xingzhi explained with a smile:

"It is my honor to meet Lord Ji and General Gu. It's just a simple meal. There is no debt or no debt. Just consider it as my pleasure to meet you two."

Indeed, before today, Gu Junqing and Ji Rang were not very familiar with the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Even if they met by chance, they were just simple acquaintances.

After what happened today, the three of them could be considered to know each other, and they all had the illusion of cherishing each other.

Gu Junqing watched Luo Xingzhi and the servants and guards beside him turn to the left path. She turned her eyes to Ji Rang and said, "Let's go."

Ji Rang followed until the moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds. The stars twinkling in the sky were shining and looked particularly beautiful.

Gu Junqing glanced at the sky and watched Ji Rang walk away before he stepped into the door of his general's mansion.

The next morning during the court session, the ministers discovered that Duke Shen was unusually taciturn today, with only a faint smile on his face and almost no other emotions. They couldn't help but wonder what had happened to make Duke Shen look like this.

Ji Rang felt that the plan that was originally planned at the banquet yesterday might have been ruined or failed, which led to the situation the next day.

After the morning court session, Gu Junqing ran into Xin Chuan, whom she hadn't seen for a few days. She greeted him and planned to go to the emperor to discuss the incident with the salt merchants after the pleasantries.

Unexpectedly, this man actually asked her out directly to go to the Tianzi Restaurant outside for a gathering.

Just as I was thinking of refusing, the person in front of me said, "Why don't we go to Tianzi Restaurant and go directly to the emperor? I just don't know if the emperor has left the palace at this time."

Gu Junqing was stunned and didn't quite react, so she asked him, "What is the emperor doing out of the palace?"

In response to this question, Xin Chuan just smiled and pretended to be mysterious and joked: "The emperor left the palace because he felt it was too boring and came out to have some fun."

Gu Junqing had a blank expression on her face. She knew that this person wanted to leave her in suspense. She was too lazy to argue and said to him directly:

"In that case, Lord Xin, please..."

Xin Chuan smiled and hummed softly, looking somewhat smug, as he walked in front of Gu Junqing to lead the way for her.

The road was a little far, and it took half an hour to arrive at the Tianzi Restaurant. It was the same waiter from last night. When he saw Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan, he still had the same smile on his face. Gu Junqing glanced at him and said nothing. Xin Chuan, who was standing beside him, spoke up and said they were going to the private room on the second floor. She asked him if there was anyone upstairs, and the waiter smiled and said yes. Xin Chuan nodded, then he turned to look at her, as if to say that he was right.

Gu Junqing pursed his lips, and then thought that Qi Yunjin was really very different from other emperors. At least in his previous life, Gu Junqing only knew that the previous emperor only knew how to stay in the palace and never thought about the things in the capital or playing around.

After the two entered the box, Gu Junqing looked up and saw Qi Yunjin sitting in a chair drinking tea quietly. He didn't know how long he had been waiting here.

Qi Yunjin first turned his gaze to Gu Junqing who was standing behind Xin Chuan. Seeing that her expression was the same as before and nothing could be seen, Qi Yunjin paused, then asked the two of them to sit over here.

Xin Chuan sat next to Gu Junqing, while Gu Junqing sat opposite Qi Yunjin.

There were several exquisite pastries on the table, still steaming, obviously they had just been served. Qi Yunjin saw that Gu Junqing's eyes were on the pastries, and thought that she wanted to eat but was just looking at him, so she had no intention of eating. So Qi Yunjin curled his lips, and said with a smile in his voice:

"The peach blossom wine and pastries at Tianzi Restaurant are a specialty. If General Gu wants to eat them, please have them."

After saying this, he picked up a piece of plum blossom cake himself, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then nodded, looked at Gu Junqing and said:

"General Gu, would you like to try it?"
