Chapter 99: The Little Fairy Who Eats Flowers
“Mmm, Yu, this is delicious!”
After Gu Yu mobilized the strength of the masses, surprisingly, he found the special ingredients Gu Mengyao liked.
With flower petals as the filling, no matter how it was prepared, it was welcomed by Gu Mengyao.
Gu Yu was also somewhat surprised by the result of his little wife liking to eat flowers, thinking that he might have married a little fairy who likes to eat flowers~
Regardless, when the chefs hired by the Gu Residence with heavy gold used all their skills to make various delicacies, it directly restored Gu Mengyao to her normal appetite, no longer eating so little as before, which made Gu Yu worry beside her.
As long as one eats more, the body will also become healthier.
This way, after giving birth, it will be much smoother.
“Do you remember we went to see the osmanthus flowers a while ago? Try this osmanthus cake, see if you like it.”
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s appetite greatly increase, Gu Yu immediately smiled, reached out to pick up a piece of pastry, and when he fed his little wife, his heart was filled with joy.
Heaven knows how worried he was a while ago. If it weren’t for Gu Ding’s reminder, perhaps Gu Mengyao would still be as weak and have no appetite as before.
“Delicious.”
When Gu Yu proactively fed her, Gu Mengyao did not hesitate. After taking a bite of half the pastry, her beautiful eyes narrowed with satisfaction, just like a little cat after being full.
She was adorable indeed.
“Eat more, it’s hard to find food you like, you ate so little before, I feel like you’ve lost weight.”
“Yu, don’t lie… I saw Lin Yue yesterday, and she said I’ve gained weight…”
Then, hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao suddenly became depressed.
Since ancient times, no woman likes the word ‘fat’.
Especially pregnant women…
However, Gu Mengyao’s figure hasn’t changed much, only her belly has become as big as a blown-up balloon!
“Her eyes are bad, how could you be fat! I still want you to gain a little more weight, so you’ll be healthier.”
For Gu Mengyao’s worries, Gu Yu replied without any hesitation. The words he spoke made Gu Mengyao smile, feeling that her little husband doted on her too much.
People outside almost described Gu Yu as a monster, but to Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu was an obedient and docile little husband.
If others saw it, they would probably be dumbfounded and unable to believe whether the scene they were seeing was real.
Unfortunately, it was real.
“You, you only know how to coax me! Qingheng’s Imperial Examination results are out, and next should be the final imperial examination!”
Smiling and shaking her head, Gu Mengyao did not continue this topic, but instead talked about her younger brother, who had recently become famous.
Since the poetry gathering at that evening banquet, Gu Qingheng’s name was destined to be extraordinary.
Besides the court officials, the scholars who participated in the imperial examination together were also full of admiration. Regarding Gu Qingheng, who had achieved the top scholar, they no longer looked down on or doubted him as before, but instead believed that with such outstanding literary talent, he must have been framed and designed by someone in secret.
Geniuses are always persecuted by others.
Especially after this year’s imperial examination reforms, geniuses like Gu Qingheng were the first to bear the brunt!
As scholars selected in the same year, none of these people were mediocre; they were all talented young people, and they were more likely to empathize with each other and feel injustice for Gu Qingheng who was persecuted!
In this situation, it had brought Gu Qingheng closer to the other scholars, and he was no longer rejected as before.
Gu Qingheng was very satisfied with this.
He originally just wanted to make himself famous, so that the final imperial examination could be smoother… After all, sometimes becoming an official not only depends on talent but also on some external factors that can increase scores.
Just like Empress Bai Qian is now recruiting talented people widely. Due to her urgency, she urgently needs a perfect candidate to be put forward to show everyone that her decision is not wrong.
And Gu Qingheng felt that he could be this perfect candidate.
Sometimes, opportunities are right in front of you. If you don’t seize them, you don’t know when the next opportunity will come.
Therefore, Gu Qingheng carefully analyzed the current situation to strive for the greatest benefit for himself.
He couldn’t always hide under the protection of his family, but had the ability to protect the ones he loved the most.
In fact, it was exactly as Gu Qingheng guessed. Empress Bai Qian was very interested in him and was considering cooperating with Gu Qingheng to achieve a win-win result.
She needed stability in the court, and Gu Qingheng needed status.
If things went smoothly, then the internal hidden dangers of Linfeng Kingdom would not exist… In that case, Bai Qian could spare energy to deal with the Witch Priest hidden in the dark.
Bai Qian knew that potential threats must be eliminated quickly.
Otherwise, if the hidden dangers grow, it will be difficult to act then!
“Qingheng is not a child anymore, why are you still worried about him? You should focus on your pregnancy now and wait for the results.”
Upon hearing that Gu Mengyao was still worrying about her younger brother-in-law, Gu Yu chuckled helplessly, and then began to persuade Gu Mengyao not to think too much.
With Gu Qingheng’s gift of photographic memory and years of study, his knowledge reserve capacity is very rich, so this final imperial examination is a sure thing, and there is no need to worry too much.
Instead, Gu Mengyao, who is due to give birth in a few months, needs to pay more attention.
Now, the business in the capital is taken care of by Gu Ding and Chengfeng Shan, and the martial arts world is under the supervision of the alliance. Gu Yu has become a hands-off manager, accompanying his little wife for daily strolls and meals. His small life is truly comfortable!
However, as life in the capital gradually stabilized, other places began to stir.
Recalling the secret reports received a few days ago, the several countries around Linfeng Kingdom were restless again. Gu Yu felt that these guys were really tired of living.
With explosives in his hands, they still dared to make small moves. They really didn’t know how many eyes King Ma had.
It seems that explosives will be released soon.
At that time, he hoped that the courage of these countries would not be scared away, otherwise things would become boring.
Gu Yu did not want Linfeng Kingdom to unify other countries too quickly, otherwise, when Bai Qian had nothing to do, she might set her sights on the Gu family.
After all, the Gu family now controlled too many things.
The downfall of being too powerful and overshadowing the ruler is never a good outcome.
Therefore, Gu Yu did not intend to end the war so quickly. He planned to wait until his younger brother-in-law had established a firm foothold in the court… He believed that with Gu Qingheng’s ability, he could protect the Gu family from being eliminated by Bai Qian afterward.
And after everything was over, Gu Yu would take his little wife back to Yang Family Village to continue their happy and peaceful pastoral life.

I am very sorry, the author was suddenly hospitalized and had to be on IV fluids for several days, causing my hand to swell, making it impossible to type. Now I finally don’t need IV fluids, but I still need to stay in the hospital for observation (the author secretly slipped out to type and will resume updates).
