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

Chapter 212 Avoid

Then he saw someone who had been standing there with a focused look on his face drawing a topographic map, now blinking and looking at him, with the topographic map in his hand rising and falling, as if trying to attract his attention.

The flickering candlelight cast a hazy and ambiguous light. The surrounding atmosphere was quiet and no one was disturbing. There were only him and Gu Junqing in the entire hall, one standing and the other sitting.

The two were not far apart, but not close either. From Qi Yunjin's direction, he could only see Gu Junqing's clear and soft profile illuminated by the candlelight, her small and tall nose bridge, and even her nose tip, which looked quite cute. Perhaps she was thinking, and her red lips were slightly pursed.

Qi Yunjin felt that she was attracted, not by the map, but by the person holding it. Gu Junqing didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but seeing him staring at her, she felt a little guilty for some reason, or to be more precise, embarrassed.

To be more blunt, Gu Junqing felt a little shy when being stared at by the emperor with such deep and ambiguous eyes.

In the emperor's eyes, I felt like a lamb on the chopping board, weak, helpless and pitiful.

In order to avoid falling into the tiger's mouth, Gu Junqing felt that he should slip away as soon as possible.

So she stood up straight, put the drawn topographic map in both hands, and handed it to Qi Yunjin, waiting for the emperor to take the map from her. She lowered her head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Qi Yunjin did not make things difficult for Gu Junqing. He casually reached out and took the drawing from her. However, the action of reaching out to take it did not avoid the unintentional contact of their fingertips.

No one knew what Qi Yunjin was thinking, but Gu Junqing felt that the atmosphere was very strange and uncomfortable. She was very nervous. She was even more sensitive to the emperor in front of her, so the touch of their fingertips made her feel panic-stricken.

Of course Qi Yunjin did not miss the unnatural expression on Gu Junqing's face. He chuckled and put the topographic map on the table naturally. He did not look at how Gu Junqing drew it. Anyway, he was very confident in Gu Junqing's painting skills.

He didn't say anything else, but simply asked the person to stay and have dinner together.

Gu Junqing had no choice but to accept.

She actually didn't understand why the emperor suddenly became so keen on feeding her and seemed to be very concerned about her.

Moreover, she felt that she seemed to have gained a lot of weight recently. Not only did she feel that way, even Nanny Chen was complaining that she ate more than before, and she seemed quite happy about it.

"Leave everything to me, General Gu, just rest assured. As for what I told you to do in the palace last time, I have also thought about it. I will explain it clearly at the morning court tomorrow. Now go back home."

After Qi Yunjin finished speaking, he turned his back and continued to look at the memorials. Gu Junqing didn't know what expression he had on his face, so he could only reply, "I know."

After finally getting through dinner, the emperor finally let her go and return to the general's mansion.

But for some reason, Gu Junqing always felt that the emperor seemed to be planning some big move these days, and it was the kind that was aimed at him.

Gu Junqing expressed his incomprehension and was only thinking about how to avoid the emperor.

It is impossible to avoid it. You can't avoid it during this period of time.

The next morning, the court session started on time as usual, and no minister was late.

Today's morning court was just as boring. It was nothing more than the same few issues: disaster relief, refugees, food, border issues, etc.

It was not until later that the emperor said that Gu Junqing should become the martial arts tutor of the Imperial Academy.

It's like a stone thrown into a calm body of water, creating a splash.

Everyone was a little surprised and didn't understand what the emperor meant by this appointment.

For a moment, the ministers' eyes shifted back and forth between Gu Junqing and Qi Yunjin.

Gu Junqing decided to pretend to be blind, so he ignored these ministers, but just lowered his head and calmly accepted the emperor's edict.

Since they couldn't figure out anything from Gu Junqing, everyone had to complete the conspiracy theory in their hearts.

After the morning court session, there were always a few ministers who couldn't wait and wanted to get some information from Gu Junqing. Gu Junqing perfunctorily drove these people away, but before she could take a few more steps, she was stopped by Ji Rang.

Ji Rang looked at her several times before asking, "I haven't seen you in the past few days. General Gu, are you doing anything to help the emperor?"

Gu Junqing didn't want to pay attention to him, but Ji Rang's tone when he said this was really a bit strange, which made Gu Junqing pay attention to him and asked:

"Why is it that I am the one doing something to help the emperor, but I can't do something else?"

Ji Rang shook his head: "If you really want to do something else, why would the emperor suddenly ask you to go to the palace to be the martial arts tutor of the National Academy?"

This statement inexplicably made sense, and Gu Junqing felt that he was convinced by it. Fortunately, they were all family, and there was nothing that could not be discussed.

In order to avoid Ji Rang's persistent behavior if she didn't say anything, she decided to solve the problem from the root and just speak up.

Gu Junqing briefly told Ji Rang everything that had happened in the past few days, of course, not including the one or two times she thought were embarrassing accidents between her and the emperor.

After listening to her, Ji Rang nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

The two of them were talking as they walked, and soon they came to a fork in the road. Since Gu Junqing was going to the palace to be a martial arts tutor, he also had other things to do in the palace.

Ji Rang was also a tutor at the National Academy, but he taught chess.

But the roads are different, so when you reach a fork in the road you have to go your separate ways.

Gu Junqing didn't turn around, but walked straight to the left. Only when she could no longer see his back did Ji Rang withdraw his gaze and walk towards her in the opposite direction.

Since he was appointed in a time of crisis and it was his first time to be a martial arts tutor, Gu Junqing felt that he needed to learn how to be a tutor.

As soon as he took up the post after being appointed, Gu Junqing first changed his official uniform into a lighter and thinner gown.

It was not until she arrived at the National Academy that she suddenly realized that these students seemed to be still attending the chess school next door, which was taught by Ji Rang.

So I came early now.

The students of the National Academy are those children of noble families, but there are only a certain number of them when you count them, so there are generally not many students in the National Academy.
