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

Chapter 43 Competition

But the only difference is that Yu Qiguan is a playboy who can do nothing except eating, drinking and having fun.

So what he meant was that his elder brother Yu Qizhui would come on stage to compete with her.

Gu Junqing had no choice but to put down the chopsticks in his hand, facing the various ambiguous looks from the crowd, raised his head and stood up.

Qi Yunjin at the top raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked in a cold tone:

"I remember that General Gu had been leading troops in battles for many years and was very good at martial arts, but I forgot that you were both civil and military. Today, the prince asked you to compete with him. I wonder if you are willing to compete?"

Since the emperor had spoken, Gu Junqing naturally could not refuse, so she had to accept the competition.

Yu Qizhu's talent and reputation in the capital was second only to Master Xin Chuan, whom she had met once before. In terms of talent and reputation in the capital, he was ranked third.

As soon as he entered the battlefield, he encountered a strong opponent. No matter how skilled Gu Junqing was in both civil and military affairs a few years ago, after spending a few years on the battlefield, he would have been taught by those people on the battlefield what gentlemanly etiquette was. After all, military generals only knew how to fight, and their temperaments were not very friendly. After spending a long time with these rough men, it was inevitable that he would be infected with some of their habits. Moreover, rumors in the market said that General Gu was good at martial arts but not civil arts, and was destined to be a military general, so Gu Junqing was afraid that he would return in defeat.

Many people were secretly watching the fun, and even showing a bit of ridicule from time to time.

Gu Junqing turned a blind eye.

Yu Qizhu was much better than his Yu Qiguan. Just like Yu Xihou who was sitting in front of him on the left, he also had a tiger-like smile on his face, as if he could keep this smile no matter how others provoked him. However, when it came to being ruthless, he was precise and cruel.

For example, Yu Qizhu looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but in fact...

Before he had time to think about it, Gu Junqing was called onto the competition stage.

Qi Yunjin asked Ji Rang to be the referee of the competition between the two. The final result of the competition was first evaluated by the ministers, and Qi Yunjin decided the final winner.

There are three rounds in total: poetry, painting, and calligraphy.

In the first round, Yu Qizhui actually didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that General Gu could write any good poems. Even if he could, it would definitely not be better than his. After being with military generals for a long time, what else could he do except fighting and killing?

To show his magnanimity, Yu Qizhu said that he would go first. Gu Junqing was too lazy to argue about who came first. After all, if your poem is really good, then no matter who comes first or last, the first place will always be yours.

She looked at Yu Qizhu standing there, frowning and pondering, then raised her head, smiled confidently, and said slowly:

"The breeze in the bamboo forest is bright and the moon is shining, and the lake is rippling with waves..."

After he finished speaking, all the ministers recalled his impromptu poem.

The poem "Yu Qizhu" as a whole describes the purity and elegance of bamboo, which is quite unique. Many ministers nodded in approval.

Just as everyone was praising the poem, Qi Yunjin looked at Chen Daru's position and saw that he had a slightly satisfied look on his face, but only a little. He blinked and suddenly spoke, as if asking casually, saying:

"What do you think of Master Yu's poem, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Daru was just about to drink some tea when Qi Yunjin suddenly called his name. He was startled, then put down his teacup and said:

"Mr. Yu, this poem is very good. Such a young talent is worthy of being the best in literary talent in the capital." Qi Yunjin lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, like thousands of peach blossoms blooming, which was very beautiful. His tone seemed to contain a smile:

"I am very pleased to receive the praise from the great scholar Chen, Lord Yu. Your family has truly raised an outstanding son. I am very happy about this."

Chen Daru realized it later and his heart skipped a beat. He thought this sentence was testing whether he was on the Shen family or the Yu family. Perhaps it was just to let others know which side he was on. This emperor who had been on the throne for only two years was truly scheming and unfathomable.

Is this a test of the relationship between the Yu and Shen families or a test of which side Chen Daru is on?

After all, Chen Daru's current closed disciple is the eldest son of the Shen family. It is obvious that Chen Daru is actually from the Shen family. However, now that Qi Yunjin said this...

At this time, Chen Daru should avoid suspicion and give a proper answer.

But since Qi Yunjin asked this, he might be wondering whether the Shen and Yu families have joined forces. Gu Junqing lowered his eyes and thought casually.

Soon it was Gu Junqing's turn.

However, she lowered her head and didn't know where she was looking.

Everyone in the room thought that she had begun to back off, or that she didn't know what kind of poem to write.

Just when someone wanted to urge her.

Gu Junqing suddenly raised his head, his expression was calm, his tone was slightly cold, and he also spoke slowly:

"The iron armor has been shattered after hundreds of battles, and the southern part of the city has been surrounded by several layers of siege..."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and those who had been laughing in secret before did not dare to say a word after hearing the poem she said.

"Clap clap..."

Everyone looked over and saw someone clapping. The sound came from above, and the person clapping was Qi Yunjin.

"What a poem!"

Qi Yunjin narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Junqing, who was also looking at him with a calm expression. His voice was smiling and his tone was full of appreciation and praise.

After all, this poem is far better than Yu Qizhu's poem praising bamboo in terms of artistic conception and overall situation.

Seeing the emperor praising Gu Junqing so highly, the ministers naturally followed suit, but the applause was much more enthusiastic, making it undeniable that Gu Junqing had indeed won this game without a single suspense.

Yu Qizhui looked at the admiration and amazement in the eyes of those ministers. These emotions were even more obvious than when he recited the poem. Just now he just felt that these gazes belonged only to him and Gu Junqing could only envy them no matter what. However, now the reality has slapped him hard in the face. How embarrassed he is!

Yu Qiguan didn't expect that Gu Junqing actually defeated his elder brother. He didn't know what expression to make for a moment. For some reason, he looked at Yu Qizhu with some resentment.

Yu Qizhu saw it, but was too lazy to care. He just glanced at Yu Xihou, and when he saw that he just glanced at him and didn't look at him again, Yu Qizhu's eyes flashed, and he could only grit his teeth and lower his eyes to not let these people notice the jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.

Gu Junqing glanced at Yu Qizhui, who was lowering his head with an unknown expression, then turned his head to look at the ministers sitting below. She looked at them as if she had already seen the conspiracy and tricks they would use next.

The officialdom is like a battlefield. How could she not know what kind of sinister and vicious intentions are hidden under these hypocritical appearances!

Why not let her tear these people's hearts apart one by one?
