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

Chapter 41 Ruyi Shop

This was Gu Junqing's first thought when he saw Shen Lianyu giggling and moving closer to him outside the yard after he returned home and changed his clothes.

She frowned: "Ms. Shen, what are you doing..."

"I made these for the general. I hope the general can taste them as a token of my appreciation. After all, I really don't know where to find them in the mansion..."

Gu Junqing didn't want to listen to Shen Lianyu's words that she had used countless times, so she said directly:

"Nothing to do? Then what you said about avenging my aunt was just a trap for me? Or are you attracted to my title of general's wife like other women? I am giving you face by calling you Miss Shen. I hope you will stay in the courtyard. I will take care of your aunt's revenge as a reward for your information. After that, you can leave."

With a flick of her sleeves, she left with the man in blue, Duan Jun.

Shen Lianyu's legs went weak and she accidentally fell to the ground, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

After all, what Gu Junqing said was true. But for the sake of her own bright future, wealth and glory, what was wrong in clinging to Gu Junqing, the only powerful man she could cling to?

No! She's not wrong!

She raised her eyes, determined to climb up even if it meant using any means necessary, so that she could get her revenge and live a comfortable life in the future.

Gu Junqing didn't know that she was being closely watched by Shen Lianyu. If she knew, she would want to kick her out completely. After all, how could a woman like her take another woman as a wife or concubine? !

It is now one o'clock in the morning. She left the house and first dealt with those who came to test whether she had really stayed in the house all the time. She replied that she had some symptoms of a cold recently, but now she is much better. In the past few days, she did not dare to go out of the house to see people, for fear of infecting everyone with the cold, which would be bad.

Or maybe the emperor blamed me for being lazy and not doing my job during court sessions and made me copy the rules for being an official more than ten times as punishment, so I rarely went out.

Although this reason is a bit fake, they cannot help but believe it. They have no evidence, and if they ask too many questions, it would be bad if Gu Junqing finds out something.

Perhaps tomorrow is the Spring Banquet, so the famous jewelry stores and shops specializing in brocade and silk on the streets of the capital are crowded with people coming and going, and most of them are women. Women dress up to please themselves and also want to amaze men at the Spring Banquet and become a beauty that attracts everyone's attention.

"General, I heard that the hairpin jade in Ruyi Shop is the best in the capital. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Qing Yi looked at Gu Junqing with anticipation on her face.

Gu Junqing went out of the house only to deal with the secret guards who were following them secretly. Hearing this, he nodded and agreed, "Then let's take a look." The three of them entered Ruyi Shop.

The separation between men and women in Da Qi is not as severe as yours. Women can still go out of the house and stroll on the streets of the capital, except for those noble ladies who are controlled more strictly by their mothers and fathers. Unless it is an important festival, they are not allowed to go out to stroll. After all, they are the daughters of a wealthy family. It is not decent for them to show their faces in public when they go out. It will be bad if they are disliked by their husband's family in the future.

There are all kinds of hairpins and jade crowns on the table. Ruyi Shop is composed of two side shops connected together, so the left side has men's hairpins and jade crowns, while the right side has women's bracelets and headdresses and other exquisite and beautiful gadgets.

Gu Junqing and the other two turned left towards Ruyipu.

There are quite a few wealthy young men gathered here, seemingly preparing for tomorrow's banquet.

However, as soon as the three of them took the first step in, the people inside quickly noticed Gu Junqing.

So they started to tease Gu Junqing. Just like Luo Xingzhi, the son of the Zhenguo Mansion, but it was just a normal joke, and there was no other meaning. After all, the Zhenguo Mansion was loyal to the emperor.

Gu Junqing smiled and nodded in response.

"Wow! General Gu also came to personally select the jade crown. I've never seen anything like it before!"

The owner of this voice sighed, but everyone could also hear the sarcasm in his tone.

This person is Yu Qiguan, the second son of the Yu family.

He is one of the famous playboys in the capital. With the support of Lord Yu and Madam Yu, he has developed the attitude of being fearless.

"Why? You can come but I can't?"

Gu Junqing asked back, pretending not to understand what he meant.

Everyone was speechless and didn't know how to respond to her question. After all, she was a general, favored by the emperor, and held military power. If this person was not a martial arts fanatic who only knew how to lead troops to fight, he would probably be unaware of the exquisite elegance among literati and scholars. Therefore, they could seize this point to attack and ridicule her. Apart from that, others should not be provoked too much.

Gu Junqing finally understood that sometimes men were even more jealous than those city shrews and women, and would even look for trouble.

She didn't have much to pick from these little gadgets, so she just picked up a few and left. Qingyi looked at her and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

What she wanted to say was that although the general's casual pick was not bad, it was too casual. He hadn't even considered whether it was suitable. The general had been a man for too long and had lost even the most basic love of beauty that an ordinary woman has.

The more I think about it, the more my heart aches, so I just stop thinking about it.

She followed Duan Jun and went up to pay the bill obediently.

"General Gu, please stay"

A gentle voice sounded, Gu Junqing paused, turned sideways and looked over.

It’s Ji Rang.

He walked over, looked at her, and smiled as brightly as usual:

"General Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have lost weight again? Is it possible that you didn't eat well in the mansion? That won't do..."

Gu Junqing: “…”

This conversation style was a bit strange, so she had to think about how to respond first.

Gu Junqing thought expressionlessly.

Gu Junqing, who was just about to say a few words to deal with it, was stunned when he heard Ji Rang's next words.

He just laughed and said, "I was also in Ruyi Shop just now. I might be a little far away from you, so you didn't see me. I just happened to like a hairpin..."

As he spoke, Ji Rang took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Gu Junqing lowered his head and subconsciously looked at the palm of his hand. It was a plum blossom hairpin with exquisite carvings and fine jade.

She looked up, not knowing what he meant, so she asked, "What is this, Lord Ji?"

Hearing this, Ji Rang looked down at the hairpin and smiled helplessly:

"I remember that once we accidentally broke the jade hairpin on your head, and I didn't know how to return it at that time. Today, I happened to see a hairpin that matched the general in Ruyi Shop, so I thought of returning the broken hairpin."

Is that so? Why doesn't she have any impression? Gu Junqing frowned.

"General, what the Prime Minister said is true. Last time we went out to play together, we ran into the Prime Minister."

Qing Yi added in a low voice.
