Chapter 69
"Poison! The drink is poisoned!"

Someone shouted from within the crowd.

The ancients were startled and looked towards the far corner where the live stream was taking place.

They saw the white liquid bubbling, yet the people from the future seemed to be blind, as none of them noticed it.

Gu Sang even picked up a cup and was about to drink it.

"Your Majesty, don't drink it, it's poisoned!" a maid from the Xuyang Palace screamed in anguish.

"Gu Sang! Don't drink it!" Pei Changying yelled frantically at the screen, his heart gripped by fear.

After drinking half a cup, not only did Gu Sang not vomit blood and die, but she actually said with a hint of enjoyment, "This is Sprite, a kind of fizzy drink that bubbles. It's actually not poisonous."

The ancients: Sprite?

"Your Majesty, what does this Sprite taste like? Is it good? Will it get you drunk?" a maid bravely asked.

"It won't get you drunk. This kind of drink can even be consumed by children. At our banquets, we always serve a few bottles of these beverages. They have a sweet and pleasant taste."

As Gu Sang explained, more dishes were served on the table.

Every dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and mouth. Even more outrageously, there were so many dishes that they could not fit on the table and had to be stacked on top of each other.

The commoners watched enviously, their mouths watering. "Today, I've seen how well the wealthy eat."

"Look at all these different kinds of meat. Only officials could afford to eat like this."

The high-ranking officials who were mentioned: ???

At that moment, they were just as envious as the commoners, salivating over the lavish spread.

An official murmured, "I really envy these people from the future. They eat as well as the emperor!"

Pei Changying, who was unintentionally mentioned: .......

"Gu Sang, do you know that what you're eating could feed a common family for an entire year?"

"Such extravagance, can your conscience bear it?"

Here goes Pei Changying again, lecturing Gu Sang with his lofty attitude.

Gu Sang arched her brow and laughed, "Are you just jealous and envious?"

"If you knew that for some wealthy families in our time, the cost of a single meal at a high-end restaurant could feed ten thousand ordinary people, you would cry your eyes out!"

This statement left the entire court, both civil and military officials, and all the commoners, dumbfounded!

Just the cost of a wealthy family's meal at a fancy restaurant could feed ten thousand ordinary people?

What level of extravagance is that!

Pei Changying took a deep breath and confidently declared, "You don't need to boast to me. Before long, my people will also have enough to eat and won't have to go hungry anymore."

What an expectant and resolute statement!

But this fool Pei Changying didn't know that the Elder Princess had already monopolized the sweet potato vines!

Let's enjoy the show!

The officials who went to Lingnan are about to return today! It remains to be seen whether Pei Changying can still laugh after that!
