Chapter 69 Serving
Gu Junqing took it, but she stood there and thought about it. She always felt weird staying in the imperial study, so she decided to go home and return to Deren Palace.
She looked like everything was going well here, but in the court it was like a scene of explosions. The ministers looked at the emperor, who had never been late for the morning court since he ascended the throne, but today he was suddenly half a quarter of an hour late!
So that morning, many ministers began to test Qi Yunjin openly and covertly as to why he was late. Qi Yunjin was also a smart man, and he could always easily divert the topic to other places and slipperily fight with these old foxes.
Seeing that the morning was almost full of questions, Qi Yunjin immediately became impatient, his peach blossom eyes turned cold, and he said in a light tone, "Do you have anything else to report? If not, then we will leave the court." The ministers below also vaguely sensed the emperor's impatience, and they calmed down for a while, not daring to continue asking.
After the morning court session, it was almost time for lunch. Qi Yunjin did not return to the imperial study, but went to his own bedroom, changed his clothes, and then asked someone to invite Gu Junqing to come and have lunch together.
Gu Junqing looked at the dishes in front of her, then glanced at the emperor who was eating quietly beside her. She pursed her lips and couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."
Qi Yunjin didn't even raise his head and asked directly: "What's the matter?"
"...Can you please let my maid Qing Yi Qing He bring her into the palace?"
After he finished speaking, Gu Junqing clearly noticed that Qi Yunjin's hand paused, and his heart suddenly began to lift. He looked at Qi Yunjin with some expectation in his eyes.
Being looked at by Gu Junqing with such rare warm eyes, Qi Yunjin felt his face was a little hot, maybe it was because the weather was too hot recently. He coughed, as if he thought of something, forgot about the heat on his face, and became very interested. He said with a smile:
"General Gu is now seventeen, young and energetic, and inevitably lonely at night. I have neglected it..."
At this point, Qi Yunjin paused and continued, "Also, since the general has brought it up, I will send someone to bring the two maids in your house into the palace."
Gu Junqing: “…”
The emperor seemed to have misunderstood something, and what did he mean by negligence just now? When the emperor paused, he looked at her thoughtfully, and it was obvious that he had made some plans in his mind...
It couldn't be what she thought...
Gu Junqing's voice was choked. Regardless of whether it was what she thought or not, she thought about probing him a few times, but seeing that Qi Yunjin had an indifferent face from the beginning until now, as if he was in a bad mood, she thought it would be better for her to say less.
After lunch, Gu Junqing wanted to leave, but she saw Qi Yunjin waving at her, so she had to follow him. Following Qi Yunjin, she turned left and right and came to a small backyard. Against the backdrop of the magnificent palace, this small backyard seemed plain and even a little shabby.
Gu Junqing looked at him in confusion.
Qi Yunjin walked to the square table facing the pond, on which was a porcelain bowl full of stones.
A wooden hollow frame was built in the air in the pond. The pattern was like a round target used for archery, with a hole in the middle. Ordinary people could not see the small round hole in the air in front from this distance.
Qi Yunjin picked up a stone from the bowl, squinted his eyes, and the next moment threw the stone into the round hole in the air. Then he threw another stone, and the stone passed through the round hole and fell into the pool water under the wooden frame in the air.
Gu Junqing didn't understand what was going on and could only stand behind Qi Yunjin and watch his series of actions.
Qi Yunjin didn't continue, but asked her to throw stones with him.
Gu Junqing hesitated: "Your Majesty, this..."
Before he could utter the words "It's not right" he was swallowed back by Qi Yunjin's unquestionable look.
It turns out that the emperor, who is always serious and solemn, actually likes to play this? !
Gu Junqing threw a stone, but missed. She threw it again, but still missed. She was speechless for a moment. She frowned and looked at the stone in her hand, with disbelief written all over her face. She threw it for the third time, but still missed.
Qi Yunjin behind him couldn't help but chuckle, which to Gu Junqing was both pleasant to hear and infuriating!
Thinking that she was already so embarrassed and might as well throw the stone in her hand away, she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. She knew it was Qi Yunjin, until he held her right wrist. She could clearly feel Qi Yunjin pause for a moment when he held her wrist, and then she felt the back of her hand was completely wrapped by his palm. Behind her was the unique ambergris of Qi Yunjin, and the warm breath was faintly behind her and lingering around her ears.
Gu Junqing's whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to move. He let Qi Yunjin hold his hand, then controlled the strength and threw the stone in his hand out.
bingo.
Gu Junqing didn't care much. Qi Yunjin behind him hadn't left yet and was still holding his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.
What is Qi Yunjin thinking about?
His original intention was to see the lost and stubborn look in Gu Junqing's eyes, as well as the fact that he had been throwing stones but had not hit the target just now, so he thought about teaching him himself.
So he moved faster than he realized and held Gu Junqing's fair and delicate hand.
He was stunned. Why were Gu Junqing's hands small, delicate, and boneless? But his hands were obviously longer and slender than hers, and could even completely wrap around her hands.
Before he could think about it, Gu Junqing suddenly pulled his hand back. He looked left and right, coughed calmly, and said in a calm voice:
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Qi Yunjin had no choice but to stop thinking and nodded as a response, but after what happened, the two of them were not playing so seriously anymore. They just went through the motions calmly and left.
Until the end, Gu Junqing still didn't understand why the emperor suddenly brought him here.
It was not until one day later that Qi Yunjin explained to her that whenever he was in a bad mood, he would come to the small backyard to throw stones as a form of entertainment. Since she was there, he took her along. Gu Junqing felt very complicated when she heard it.
This is a topic for later, so let’s not mention it for now.
After returning to the palace, Qi Yunjin went back to the imperial study as usual. Gu Junqing followed him, listening to his next plan from time to time, or even just chatting about the Four Books and Five Classics. Fortunately, he had studied literature in the past and was familiar with these.
After dinner, Gu Junqing returned to Deren Palace. That night, the two young eunuchs were still guarding outside the palace gate. Qinghe and Qingyi did not enter the palace for the time being.
After she finished bathing alone, she was still dressed the same as yesterday. It was a bit cold tonight, so Gu Junqing couldn't help but put on one more layer of clothes and wrapped herself up tightly.
She approached the huge palace without noticing anything. When she was near the bed, Gu Junqing narrowed her eyes, paused, and vaguely sensed something.
She gradually slowed down her pace, as if waiting for the person hiding in the dark to lose patience and come out.
