"Congratulations to the host. The male protagonist's attention has skyrocketed. Throw flowers, yeah!" The jumpy voice of System 101, mixed with the system's own fireworks sound effects, made Gu Junwen's head hurt.

"What do you mean by concern? Why did it suddenly increase?"

"Well, it probably refers to a psychological state of indifference, contempt, rejection, and even hostility. It makes people feel sad." System 101 looked up the database and copied out the concept.

"It sounds like jealousy and envy." Gu Junwen mentioned it casually and didn't take it to heart.

Not being trapped in her heart, not being confused in her appearance. It was more important for her to manage the current mess.

The hasty departure of the Empress and Concubine Yao did not have much impact on the Spring Festival Banquet.

All rumors and truths were strangled in the cradle, like a stone thrown into the abyss, without a single echo.

Gu Junwen, who appeared in the Imperial Garden with Lu Shuting, was scrutinized from all sides as soon as he appeared.

"General Gu is very cunning! He is seizing the army while interfering with the trade routes. You should be more careful next time."

"They are a talented couple, but everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking."

"Everyone, they also know Sima Zhao." Gu Junwen was no longer surprised. Since he would be misunderstood no matter what he did, he might as well lie down.

"Logically, you shouldn't know. No, host, the point is that you have been misunderstood again!" System 101 held his forehead helplessly.

It's not easy to be a system these days, so it might as well push the plot forward manually. If the host is idle for a few more days, it will have no hope of getting the year-end bonus next year.

Looking down at Gu Junwen who was chewing fruit and watching the fun, System 101 felt a toothache. Forget it, everything is God's will. I can only hope that Lu Shuting can help.

Unfortunately, Lu Shuting is even worse than Gu Junwen. As a modern young woman who doesn't want to get married, she hopes the plot will stop forever so that she won't be urged to get married by her brother. What's more, as long as Gu Junwen is happy, she will support him with both hands and feet.

So, the salted fish business grew from one person to two people.

Listening quietly to the quarrel between the Queen and Imperial Concubine Yao, accompanied by real-time text messages, Gu Junwen felt so happy just watching the show.

Unfortunately, she was destined to be the focus of the crowd. As she ate, the melon came to her.

"General Gu, the Queen asks you to come forward." Lan Juan, the Queen Su's maid, walked over gracefully and bowed.

"Thank you." Forced to put down the chicken leg at his mouth for the second time, Gu Junwen tried hard to raise a smile, and once again received Lan Juan's praise of "unfathomable".

Suddenly, he didn't want to do it anymore. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Gu Junwen's face turned from blue to white, and then red.

She grabbed the chicken leg with her fingers and took a bite. She commented, "It tastes good."

Lan Juan, who was startled and broke into a cold sweat, smiled slightly and tried to suppress the twitching muscles on her face: "General Gu, the Queen is still waiting for you."

"I'm coming." Gu Junwen, feeling satisfied, left everyone's shocked gazes, washed his hands, and swaggered towards the platform.

"Young General Gu is not young anymore, it would be better for him to get married as soon as possible." Imperial Concubine Yao smiled lightly behind her handkerchief and spoke first.

"Is your Majesty so anxious? It's almost the end of the year and everything is complicated. I am in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and His Majesty is not in good health this year," Empress Su calmly took a sip of tea, not willing to give a glance to Imperial Concubine Yao, "If Imperial Concubine Yao is free, please come and help me with some of the responsibilities. I also heard that you recently got a crystal table bracelet, and you like it very much."

"Your Majesty is right." Imperial Concubine Yao lowered her head and smiled "gently".

Her inner voice was even more "gentle" than her smile: Could it be that Su's bitch already knew about her deal with the Lu family? She had to investigate carefully to find out which black-hearted person leaked the news.

Gu Junwen stood quietly at the bottom of the stairs, trying to reduce his presence. Unexpectedly, the next second, Lan Juan's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, General Gu has arrived."

Empress Su, who wanted to give Gu Junwen some time to herself, looked down and pretended to have just seen him. "General Gu, are you used to living in Kyoto?"

"I'm used to hearing what the queen says." Gu Junwen bowed his head and bowed, his eyes fixed directly on the ground.

"That would be great." Empress Su took another sip of tea. "I wanted to choose a good marriage for you, but unfortunately, I am busy with many things right now and I am afraid I can't spare the time."

"I dare not trouble your majesty. It will not be too late to discuss my marriage after the New Year."

Delay it for as long as possible, Gu Junwen answered honestly according to what Queen Su was thinking.

"Okay." Empress Su looked at the young men and women at the banquet for a while and waved her hand, "Lan Juan, take General Gu away."

"Yes. General Gu, please."

After listening to the tit-for-tat exchange in a daze, and then being sent back in a daze, Gu Junwen's mind was a little dazed, not because of shock, but because of surprise.

With the Queen's words in mind, no one will urge you to get married anymore.

Finally, Gu Junwen could live the ideal life of a salted fish: having everything provided for her, and never having to get out of bed, she was just a salted fish.

Eat, drink, sleep, occasionally check in, occasionally go to Shuijie Chuyun's class.

Gu Junwen, who had an excellent sleep quality, was in a daze and slept for several days at a time, and remained in a daze until New Year's Eve.

In a daze, Gu Junwen only felt that he was soaked in water.

"Salted fish tastes better when fried. Don't add any more water." She muttered vaguely, turned around, and stretched out her hand unconsciously, and touched a large amount of wetness.

"Oh, it turns out the quilt is wet." Gu Junwen muttered, and wanted to find a dry place to continue sleeping.

Her consciousness suddenly returned, and she opened her eyes abruptly, just in time to catch the back of Shen Anan holding a basin of water and tiptoeing away.

"Chen An'an! Try taking another step! Explain it to me clearly." Gu Junwen, who is a habitual bed-slacker and suffers from severe morning grumpiness, was so angry that he gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.

"Well," Shen Anan turned her head and smiled cautiously, "Sir, I said the house is leaking, do you believe it?"

Looking at the freshly painted white walls, the newly replaced beams, and the sunny day without rain for ten days, Gu Junwen rolled his eyes so hard that he almost couldn't turn them back, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:

"You tell me whether I believe it or not!"

"Help!" Shen Anan ran, and finally escaped from the battlefield and got away just before Gu Junwen exploded.

"By the way, sir." Shen Anan, who had been fleeing in a panic, came back and bravely opened the door, and bumped into Gu Junwen's fiery eyes.

“Speak.” Gu Junwen crossed his arms and held them in front of his chest, quietly waiting for Ana Shen to quibble.

"It's true. My father said it. He told me: Please don't sleep any more today. It seems that something big will happen today."
