Chapter 1471: Magnifying GlassEditor: Henyee Translations

Duke Xu opened the box.

Everyone saw that the box was covered with soft and clean cotton wool. It looked like its owner was afraid that something would break accidentally, so it was carefully protected.

Duke Xu wiped his hands with a handkerchief and slowly took out the palm-sized thing from the box.

"This is..."

Duke Xu got someone to spread a handkerchief on the table and placed it on the table.

He glanced at Yi Zilan and introduced with a smile, "This is a snuff bottle. It’s an imported product. There’s only one in the entire Dajin Dynasty."

Someone beside him immediately exclaimed, "This snuff bottle is so exquisite."

’A snuff bottle?’

Gu Yundong’s eyes widened. So it was a snuff bottle.

She had also seen snuff bottles in her previous life. At that time, the snuff bottles were even more exquisite and beautiful than the one in front of her. Although this thing was not very useful, it was small and exquisite.

In modern times, people’s habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been passed down as an exquisite artwork and is said to be a "pocket artwork that gathers the mastery of many crafts in various countries". It is regarded by the elegant people as a precious literary play.

Now that Duke Xu valued it so much, it was obvious that it might slowly start to become popular.

Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the things she had prepared were not bad.

As she was thinking, Yi Zilan, who was sitting at the side, suddenly kicked her.

Gu Yundong was stunned. She looked down and met his warning gaze.

She pursed her lips and came back to her senses.

At this moment, everyone in the courtyard rushed towards the snuff bottle. As they listened to Duke Xu’s introduction, they praised the snuff bottle repeatedly and crazily praised it.

When Duke Xu was almost done listening, he finally raised his hand and pressed it down in satisfaction.

"Alright, everyone has seen my snuff bottle. Then... where’s the treasure prepared by the royal prince?"

Although he was talking just now, his eyes had been paying attention to Yi Zilan.

Ever since he took out the snuff bottle, the royal prince’s expression had not been right. Thinking about it, he was no longer confident.

Yi Zilan looked calm on the surface, but his heart was indeed beating like a drum.

He did not know what Gu Yundong had prepared, but the things he had prepared were indeed not as novel and rare as Duke Xu’s.

If Gu Yundong lost, he would not win either.

Yi Zilan narrowed his eyes slightly. After hearing Duke Xu’s words, he also waved behind her. "Aren’t you going to hand it over?"

"Yes." Gu Yundong nodded.

She placed the box on the table and opened the exquisite box, revealing the red velvet packaging inside.

Everyone stared at the box with burning eyes. Even Yi Zilan, who was sitting at the side, could not help but look over.

Then, they saw Gu Yundong take out something... very strange.

"What is this?" Duke Xu asked Yi Zilan.

Yi Zilan didn’t know either.𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

However, he acted cool and was very calm. He waved his hand again. "Come, let me introduce you to everyone."

"This thing is called a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass. As the name suggests, it can magnify things when you look at them. For example, like this."

Gu Yundong reached out and took the book from the person on the table beside him. Then, she opened it and placed a magnifying glass on it.

Everyone looked over and there was a sudden whoosh. "This font has become so big."

Even Yi Zilan almost cried out in shock. Fortunately, he was quick enough to pinch his palm so that his ignorance would not be exposed.
