Chapter 1472: Gu Yundong Started Making Up A StoryEditor: Henyee Translations

The people present could not help but move closer to take a look. Some even wanted to reach out to take it.

Yi Zilan was quick-witted and slapped away all the restless hands.

"What are you doing? Is this something you can touch casually? What if you break it?"

Then, he reached for it himself.

Gu Yundong resisted the urge to roll her eyes and gave him the magnifying glass.

Yi Zilan tried his best to control his foolish expression. He coughed lightly and said calmly, "Well, no one has seen it before, right? Compared to Duke Xu’s snuff bottle, is it even better?"

He glanced at Duke Xu, who looked a little upset.

He was originally standing at the other end of the table, but now he had already walked to Yi Zilan’s side.

Suppressing his desire to find out, Duke Xu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Yundong.

Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at the magnifying glass. He asked, "This thing is indeed not bad. Where did it come from? Is it also imported?"

Yi Zilan did not know anything, so he waved his hand and said to Gu Yundong, "Introduce it to the prince."

"Yes." Gu Yundong’s lips twitched silently.

When she looked up again, her face was serious. "This magnifying glass is not imported." She did not know if there was such a thing overseas now.

Hence, just to be safe, Gu Yundong decided not to talk nonsense.

She looked around and took in everyone’s expressions.

In the end, her gaze landed on Yi Zilan’s face.

Why did Yi Zilan inexplicably... feel a little uneasy?

The next moment, Gu Yundong smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there’s a reason why this magnifying glass appeared here. The reason was because of what the royal prince said."

"What did he say?"

Gu Yundong said that it was time to make up a story.

"One day, the royal prince frowned and told my husband that he saw that the emperor was busy every day and there were memorials piled up on the imperial desk every day. The emperor had to read every one of them personally. As time passed, his eyes were very tired. The royal prince had seen the emperor’s eyes turn red several times because he was reading memorials until midnight. He was really worried. Therefore, he wanted to ask my husband for some medicinal cuisine that could help the emperor."

As he spoke, Gu Yundong shook his head slightly and sighed. "My husband did give the emperor two portions of medicinal cuisine that can relieve the fatigue of the eyes, but that’s just a drop in the bucket. The emperor was still exhausted from reading those memorials, especially since the font on the memorials is small. How good would it be if it could be magnified? Heh, it just so happens that my husband remembered that I happened to obtain this magnifying glass a few years ago. It’s exactly the thing that can magnify the font, so this magnifying glass appeared here."

Everyone was speechless.

Yi Zilan was speechless. Huh? There was such a thing?

However, Gu Yundong was quite eloquent. She made up a good story.

She even put a good reputation of loyalty and patriotism on his head. If this matter spread, who would dare to say that he was a playboy?

He worried about the country and the people every day, eating the emperor’s salary and bearing the emperor’s worries, okay?

Yi Zilan raised his chin slightly and looked at Gu Yundong in admiration. Just now, he thought that this woman was going to say something that she should not have and take the opportunity to take revenge on him. Thinking about it, she still wanted to please him deep down.

In this aspect, she was much more sensible than Shao Qingyuan.
