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

Chapter 194 It’s not necessary

Qi Yunjin took only one bite and put it down. He frowned, as if he felt that the taste of the plum blossom cake was a little unpleasant. He looked at Gu Junqing and saw that she had no intention of taking the cakes on the table, so Qi Yunjin said:

"Next time I'll ask Li Yuan to send some cakes made in the imperial kitchen to your general's mansion. The cakes here taste really weird."

Seeing Qi Yunjin's complaints, Gu Junqing looked speechless but also felt a little funny inside.

In fact, she didn't really want to eat the pastries, she just happened to be looking in the direction of the pastries when she was stunned.

But now the emperor tried it himself and felt that it was not tasty, so he thought of asking Li Yuan to send him cakes from the imperial kitchen next time. Gu Junqing felt that he had made a good deal, so he smiled and nodded to thank him. Xin Chuan watched the two of them interacting, and saw that Qi Yunjin stopped eating the cake after taking a bite. He thought that it must be so unpalatable that the emperor, who was not very picky about food, would dislike it so much, so out of curiosity, Xin Chuan picked up the plum cake on the plate and took a bite.

Xin Chuan felt like he was suffocating. He wanted to spit out the pastry in his mouth, but he couldn't do it in front of Gu Junqing and Qi Yunjin.

So he suppressed his urge to vomit and swallowed the cake. After swallowing the cake, Xin Chuan stopped tensing and strode to the place where the tea was placed and took a few gulps of water. Only then did he feel much better, but he still couldn't help but complain:

"The cakes at Tianzi Restaurant are really special. I don't know what's wrong with today's cakes. They taste so weird!"

Gu Junqing didn't know that the emperor was not picky about food, so she didn't take Qi Yunjin's euphemism that the cakes were not tasty to heart. She just thought that the emperor was used to eating food from the imperial kitchen, and the cakes from Tianzi Restaurant tasted ordinary at best. Gu Junqing had eaten the cakes from Tianzi Restaurant, and she thought they were quite delicious.

But seeing Xin Chuan's disgust, her expression paused slightly. She thought to herself, is this pastry really that bad? She reached out to taste it.

However, someone grabbed her wrist. She looked at the pair of cold, white, and beautiful hands on her wrists. What she saw was Qi Yunjin's puzzled and disapproving eyes. He just said:

"Xin Chuan is in this state now. Do you want to stand there and guzzle several glasses of water like him before you are satisfied?"

His tone was teasing, but his eyes were serious.

Gu Junqing listened to what Qi Yunjin said, glanced at Xin Chuan who was still pouring water on herself, and then glanced at Qi Yunjin who was still holding her wrist. She smiled politely but awkwardly:

“No need to”

Xin Chuan had just finished drinking water when he heard the conversation between the two people. He couldn't help but show some resentment on his face. After finally calming down, Xin Chuan looked at Qi Yunjin and couldn't help but think of the emperor who had also eaten just now, why didn't he have any reaction now? Then he thought of Qi Yunjin's abnormal self-control, and he sighed.

He was still a little angry, so Xin Chuan made up an excuse and said he wanted to go out to buy some things.

Qi Yunjin didn't look at him, nor did he ask him what he was doing. He just let him do what he wanted.

Gu Junqing watched him walk away, still angry, and couldn't help but guess in his heart that this man was probably going to find the waiter to ask about this pastry.

So now there are only two of them in this box.

In fact, after the last lotus viewing banquet, Gu Junqing could only see Qi Yunjin during the morning court session, but basically avoided him at other times.

Gu Junqing felt embarrassed when she thought about how Qi Yunjin used his mouth to help her breathe underwater when she fell into the pond last time. Although she knew it was a helpless act, she still felt her face burning. She flickered her eyes slightly and tried not to look at Qi Yunjin's face.

He just sat there quietly, waiting for Xin Chuan to come back and ease the inexplicably awkward atmosphere.

Of course, this embarrassment only affected Gu Junqing.

Qi Yunjin looked calm and took a sip of tea slowly. When he saw that Gu Junqing, who was sitting opposite him, was not touching the things on the table, he said that the tea was still delicious.

Gu Junqing reacted for a moment, then reached out and took a sip of tea. She pursed her lips and found that it tasted sweet and refreshing, and quite delicious. She couldn't help but drink another sip.

When Qi Yunjin saw that she liked it, his eyes curved, and he thought of asking someone to bring some back for her when he left.

After Gu Junqing finished drinking, she realized that Qi Yunjin was looking at her. She put down the teacup in her hand, as if she had thought of something. She finally raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yunjin, and the embarrassment at the beginning was also thrown away by her. Qi Yunjin naturally saw Gu Junqing's initial restraint and embarrassment. He did not expose her to save her face, because he found that Gu Junqing was sometimes thick-skinned and sometimes really thin-skinned.

Before he could think about it, he saw Gu Junqing, who had been looking down and not looking at him, suddenly raised his head and said to him:

"Your Majesty, is there still no progress regarding the masters of those guys who smuggled salt mines last time?"

Qi Yunjin's eyes, which were originally bent, paused, and quickly returned to normal. He looked at her, shook his head, and said truthfully:

"It's just a clue. It's just a suspicion at the moment, but there's no direct evidence to prove it's them, so it's hard to say right now."

It’s hard to say, that is, he is unwilling to reveal that little clue. Gu Junqing nodded and didn’t want to ask any further.

So she smiled bitterly in her heart, thinking that she had been idle for long enough and there was nothing to do. She was really bored. She didn't know if the emperor did it on purpose. He didn't discuss anything with her or order her to do things as before. She was a little uncomfortable for a moment, so Gu Junqing raised his eyes and asked Qi Yunjin tactfully and tentatively if he had any tasks that required her recently.

Seeing that Gu Junqing seemed particularly eager for him to find something for her to do, Qi Yunjin smiled faintly and thought seriously about what Gu Junqing needed to do recently.

If you think about it carefully, there are actually many places that are short of people, but Qi Yunjin finally said to Gu Junqing:

"The palace is short of people recently. If General Gu is so bored, come to the palace and do something for me starting tomorrow."

Gu Junqing was silent for a while. Knowing that she was the one who asked about the development of this matter, she didn't know how to refute it, so she had to reluctantly accept the task.

However, Qi Yunjin did not elaborate on what position she would be taking in the palace. Could it be that she would be on duty in the Imperial Guards again?

She was just thinking about where to start when Xin Chuan, who had been outside doing something unknown, came back with a bag of oil paper in his hand, and no one knew what was wrapped inside.

At this time, Xin Chuan walked towards the chair not far from the two of them, with a slightly flushed face.
