Chapter 190: Big Treasure!
As soon as Gu Yu’s voice sounded, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
All the ministers cast surprised glances at Gu Yu, completely not expecting him to so generously produce 15 Longevity Pills.
To know that when he made the exchange with Gu Yu before, he had been extremely stingy.
But now, he produced 15 Longevity Pills at once.
He had really put his blood into it!
As for some officials who were unaware of the existence of Longevity Pills, upon hearing the words “longevity,” they knew in their hearts that this kind of medicinal pill was extraordinary.
Since ancient times, items related to lifespan have been highly sought-after precious treasures!
After all, no matter what dynasty, there will always be people pursuing the path to immortality.
If one could live forever, how wonderful would that be!
“Oh? Longevity Pills? What a rare item! Explain its efficacy in detail!”
When Bai Qian heard the name of the gift Gu Yu announced, although her heart was clear as day, she still pretended to be confused.
In terms of acting, Bai Qian was not far behind.
When Gu Yu saw Bai Qian beginning to act, the corner of his mouth curved into a slight smile, and then he truly began to explain the Longevity Pills.
“This item is a prescription given to me by my Master, refined into pills using thousand-year-old spiritual substances as medicinal guides. Each pill can extend lifespan! However, while Longevity Pills are good, they do have a limitation: each person cannot consume more than five pills.”
As Gu Yu spoke of the medicinal effects of the Longevity Pills, not only Bai Qian listened attentively, but the ministers standing around also did so.
Among these ministers, some were not yet aware of the existence of Longevity Pills, and now, after hearing Gu Yu’s detailed explanation, they all gained a clear understanding of them.
This Longevity Pill is truly a treasure!
A big treasure!
Although Gu Yu did not explicitly state how much lifespan it could increase, it was likely to have a significant effect, otherwise Gu Yu would not cherish it so much!
As for those officials who had already exchanged pills with Gu Yu, seeing that Gu Yu appeared to have some left, their own little calculations immediately started to whir in their minds.
Since this Longevity Pill is so precious, they could exchange for more.
At the very least, they should collect five.
Originally, some ministers who knew about the Longevity Pill did not exchange for too many, but were in a wait-and-see state.
Although it was personally made by Gu Yu, its specific efficacy could not be immediately seen.
Who knew if it was actually effective…
However, seeing Gu Yu dare to present it to Empress Bai Qian, it was clear that he had sufficient confidence in this medicinal pill.
Otherwise, if he tried to fool Empress Bai Qian, the consequences would be…
Empress Bai Qian, after hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, could not help but show a hint of joy on her face, clearly very satisfied with the gift from Gu Yu.
This joy was not feigned, but genuine.
Gu Yu giving 15 Longevity Pills, not 5, clearly indicated that he had planned it all along.
She, Li Ye, and their child could each consume five pills to increase their lifespan!
Bai Qian felt very pleased with Gu Yu’s thoughtfulness.
Therefore, naturally, there would be a generous reward!
“Gu Yu’s gift is deeply appreciated by this Empress! Gu Yu, listen to the reward. This Empress bestows upon you ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand bolts of fine silks and colourful brocades…”
After accepting Gu Yu’s grand gift, Bai Qian immediately began to bestow many items as rewards.
When Gu Yu heard the mention of gold again, the corner of his mouth twitched, thinking that it indeed did not disappoint him!
Every reward, there must be imperial bestowment of gold!
However, times are different now!
After the space upgrade, he had an energy conversion factory and a selling box, allowing him to directly use various items for exchange.
These imperial bestowment gold, which could only be looked at but not spent, finally had a use!
Speaking of the upgraded space, Gu Yu didn’t notice anything at first.
But as time went by, it immediately made him think of something crucial!
Regarding Mengyao Gu’s favorability, he no longer received timely reminders as before.
This made Gu Yu very puzzled, even suspecting that he had waited too long to upgrade the space, hence the current situation.
However, regarding this question, the space offered no explanation.
Gu Yu could only keep this doubt in his heart, knowing that no matter how much he pondered, he would not get an answer.
Fortunately, when entering the small world within the space, he could check the progress bar of the space upgrade.
This made Gu Yu breathe a sigh of relief, thinking as long as the space could continue to upgrade, that would be enough!
One day, his space would have unlimited storage!
For this goal, he and his little wife needed to do more of the things that lovers do!
After Gu Yu presented his last gift, the birthday congratulatory segment also concluded!
Next, everyone moved out of the hall and headed towards the back garden, where a banquet had been set up, preparing for the feasting and drinking afterwards.
Apart from occasional banquets, there were no opportunities to taste the delicious food prepared by the imperial chefs.
This made many ministers’ stomachs rumble, and just the thought of the delicious dishes prepared by the imperial chefs made them feel like their mouths were watering.
However, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu did not have the same gluttony as these ministers; they quickly sat down by the table.
The last time they helped protect Empress Bai Qian, they had eaten quite a lot of food prepared by the palace chefs.
To put it bluntly, they were both a little tired of it.
Therefore, at this moment, their minds were not focused on the food, but on being intimately close to each other, ignoring their surroundings.
The overwhelming display of affection, like “dog food,” made those around them suffer immensely.
Although it was already known that the young couple, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu, had an exceptionally good relationship!
But now, showing it so openly really made everyone have enough “dog food” to eat!
Among them, Qingheng Gu was the most affected.
He directly went to sit with Qing Gu to avoid continuing to witness his sister and brother-in-law flaunting their affection.
Although Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu were tired of the imperial chefs’ food, the other members of the Gu family did not have such good opportunities, so they naturally had to eat heartily.
“Wow, it smells so good! I’m going to be the first one to put my chopsticks in, hehehe…”
When the dishes were served, the fragrant smell made Qingheng Gu’s appetite surge.
His big eyes were full of anticipation, just waiting for Empress Bai Qian to announce the start of the banquet.
The people around, seeing Qingheng Gu’s little greedy cat-like appearance, did not mind him too much, only thinking that Qingheng Gu at this age was very cute.
However, Gu Yu, as he was smiling, suddenly couldn’t smile anymore.
He looked at the dish in front of him, “Bright Moon on High Tower,” which was an upgraded version of cucumber mixed with egg, with a few round particles in it.
If one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t notice them at all.
At most, they would mistake them for cucumber seeds.
But Gu Yu directly frowned, thinking, “These can’t be insect eggs, right!”
