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

Chapter 46 Get what you want

The song is over.

Everyone cheered.

Shen Lian'er lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Gu Junqing's expression opposite her.

Gu Junqing had a blank expression on his face.

Everyone present was a smart person. They could tell that Shen Lian'er's face was blushing and her eyes were full of spring as she looked at Gu Junqing who was standing opposite her. He must have taken a fancy to her.

As for Duke Shen, who had a smile on his face, I don’t know if he minds.

Qi Yunjin frowned, not liking the sudden ambiguous scene between Shen Lian'er and Gu Junqing, so he told Gu Junqing to go back to his seat, and then found an excuse to send Shen Lian'er back to the women's seat. In Da Qi, if a banquet is held in the palace, it must be held for two or three days before it is called off.

However, after Qi Yunjin ascended the throne, the custom of holding a grand banquet for several days was abolished, and the banquet time was shortened to just one day.

According to previous spring banquets, it would naturally take two days. However, he shortened the one-day banquet to half a day on the grounds of busy government affairs. After a morning, the ministers stayed in the palace for one morning before the banquet ended.

The strange thing is that this time the emperor arranged a marriage for Yu Qiguan, and the partner was Chu Qing, the youngest daughter of the Chu family.

There is a legend about Chu Qing circulating in the capital.

After all, this girl has been interested in martial arts since she was a child, and Chu Shen liked this little daughter very much, so he agreed to let Chu Qing find a female master to teach her martial arts.

In addition, she herself was very arrogant and domineering. Once she was unhappy, no matter who the other person was, she would just swing the whip hanging at her waist and whip the person.

Yu Qiguan was afraid that his future days would be difficult, not to mention that this was an arranged marriage and he could not refuse.

When Yu Qiguan heard about the marriage arrangement, and the partner was to the stinky woman Chu Qing, he felt cold all over, and vaguely remembered how she whipped him in the past... He gritted his teeth and accepted the imperial edict. With him was Changyuan Hou Chu Shen, Chu Qing's father.

However, only he and Chu Qing were granted marriage, and no one else was granted marriage.

I don’t know what Qi Yunjin is thinking.

The party dispersed.

On the way, Gu Junqing happened to meet Yu Xihou and Duke Shen who were walking and chatting. She just raised her eyebrows, and then when she was about to stay away from them, she was suddenly stopped by Shen Lian'er who was standing behind Duke Shen.

Gu Junqing turned around and saw the people in front of her staring at her. She looked at Shen Lian'er: "Miss Shen, what's the matter?"

"The General's Qin..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Lian'er paused, blushed, and glanced at Duke Shen and Marquis Yuxi.

Duke Shen understood immediately, with an obvious smile in his eyes, he teased: "Lian'er actually wanted to chat with you, General Gu, alone! It turns out that we are the old ones~"

"Lord Yu, the garden over there is beautiful, let's take a look."

After the two left, Shen Lian'er finally raised her head. Her face was not flushed as before, but just slightly red, looking really pretty and cute.

"I heard that father praised General Gu's piano skills as being superb and unparalleled in the world, but Lian'er is crazy about the piano. General Gu, I wonder if you could tell Lian'er one or two of them, even just a little bit."

Gu Junqing frowned. Although she doubted the purpose of Shen Lian'er's words, she thought about her previous life when she came to see her every day, she did bring her zither with her, and whenever she was bored, she would take it out and play a few songs.

What's more, now everyone in the capital knows that the eldest daughter of the Shen family loves and is good at playing the piano.

So no matter how doubtful he was in his heart, looking at the expectation in this person's eyes, Gu Junqing thought about it and decided to refuse.

After all, the Shen family and her Gu family cannot have too much involvement now.

If something like what happened in her previous life happened and the emperor suspected that she had betrayed the royal family, then her Gu family would be in danger.

After all, he is still in the same boat with the emperor. As long as he cooperates with the emperor, it will be much easier to bring down the aristocratic families.

Gu Junqing didn't want to ruin his plan because of this little thing, absolutely not!

She didn't dare to gamble again.

Thinking this in his heart, Gu Junqing declined politely, "Miss Shen, you are too kind. Speaking of unparalleled, I think our Prime Minister Ji deserves the title. He is also crazy about the piano like you. What's more, I have been busy with military affairs recently, so I am afraid I don't have time to teach you. Please forgive me, Miss Shen."

This sentence was cleverly said, as it not only politely rejected Shen Lian'er but also gave her a way out.

However, Shen Lian'er let her thoughts wander. Looking at Gu Junqing's handsome face, she couldn't help but think in her heart, if she doesn't want to spread it outside, can she spread it among herself?

Shen Lian'er did not say this, but she looked at Gu Junqing hesitantly, as if she wanted to talk to her. However, Gu Junqing was called away by a eunuch named Li Yuan in the blink of an eye.

Shen Lian'er looked at Gu Junqing's back as he walked away, and couldn't help biting her lower lip, with a bit of unwillingness and grievance in her eyes.

At this time, Duke Shen came over. Shen Lian'er didn't know when Yu Xihou left, but she was sad at the moment. Duke Shen patted her on the shoulder and suddenly said to her: "Are you interested in General Gu? Lian'er, don't worry, Dad will help you get what you want."

Gu Junqing had no idea what these two people were thinking. She was still thinking as she walked. If Prince An had not been sent by the Emperor to a place to provide disaster relief and was not in the capital, and could not make it back to the Spring Banquet, then the banquet would not be a simple competition.

Coming to the imperial study again, Gu Junqing waited at the door of the imperial study with familiarity, and only went in after the door was opened.

This time, Qi Yunjin was not reviewing memorials anywhere. Instead, he sat at another small round table. The eunuchs served some snacks and pastries on the table, as well as three bottles of peach blossom wine from the Tianzi Restaurant.

Then he saw Gu Junqing standing at the door. He frowned, as if he didn't know why this person was still standing there. He waved his hand, motioning Gu Junqing to come over.

Seeing her standing in front of him tactfully, he thought for a moment and then told Gu Junqing to sit opposite him.

Gu Junqing cupped his hands and quickly declined, saying, "There is a difference between the ruler and his subjects. I dare not overstep the boundaries!"

Qi Yunjin pursed her lips, not liking the polite words that Gu Junqing would say to all the ministers.

"I am the Lord, you should listen to me. If I tell you to sit down, just sit down. It's not a problem."

He couldn't refuse any longer, so Gu Jun had no choice but to sit down, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Qi Yunjin poured himself a glass of wine, while Gu Junqing's was served by Li Yuanman.

Qi Yunjin was looking at the wine glass, about to talk about Shen Lian'er, but before he looked up, he saw Gu Junqing suddenly stand up. As if she noticed her surprised look, she looked at the dishes on the table, her voice slightly raised:

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this table of food!"

Qi Yunjin paused, his body motionless, with no emotion on his face, as if he had known it for a long time. He put down the wine glass, glanced at Gu Junqing, and then looked at the table full of delicious food:

"Oh? How did you find out?"

He spoke in a calm tone, as if nothing had happened.

How did she find out?

Seeing that the emperor was so calm and didn't seem to care at all, Gu Junqing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about his fuss just now, but he explained at the same time:

"When you are on a war expedition, it is inevitable that there will be times when you are short of food and grass. I once led my men to the dense forest to find some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. However, many soldiers died of poisoning because they accidentally ate some mushrooms that were very similar in size to ordinary mushrooms. I almost died at that time..."

She was a little embarrassed to say the following words. After all, as a general of the Great Qi, if he had died of poisoning due to eating mushrooms by mistake, there would be nothing to say. Qi Yunjin heard this, but lowered his eyes, took a sip of wine, and didn't know what he was thinking.
