Chapter 1474: Yi Zilan WinsEditor: Henyee Translations

Everyone could not help but nod when they heard this. Indeed, although the royal prince was a little petty, he was still very sincere in making friends.

However, there were also people who did not believe it.

Duke Xu glanced at the two of them suspiciously, but in the end, he did not see anything.

Although Shao Qingyuan was still expressionless, he did not resist Yi Zilan’s hand on his shoulder.

Finally, Duke Xu’s gaze fell on Gu Yundong.

"In that case, this magnifying glass belongs to Mrs. Shao. May I ask where Mrs. Shao got it from?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zilan mocked, "This is not something that Duke Xu should worry about. Why do you care where she got it from? We didn’t ask everyone where these things came from, right?"

Duke Xu frowned. He really shouldn’t ask too much.

Even though his snuff bottle was imported, how it came about was not open and aboveboard.

However, he was really curious. He had more or less heard of Shao Qingyuan’s identity. Then, his wife probably didn’t have much of a background. Holding such a rare thing in her hand made people unable to help but investigate further.

However, Yi Zilan had a protective expression on his face. Moreover, everybody could do whatever they wanted at the Treasure Appraisal Conference, but there was a rule that everybody had to abide by.

That was, they could not investigate the source of other people’s treasures to prevent others from killing and snatching their treasures, causing chaos.

In the first year, such a thing had happened. Later, the family who stole the treasure was imprisoned.

Besides, didn’t you hear what the royal prince said just now? This was a magnifying glass prepared for the emperor. Who dared to snatch it?

Duke Xu secretly gritted his teeth, but he was unwilling to give up.𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

However, Yi Zilan was in a good mood and sat back in her chair.

In order to show that she had a good relationship with Shao Qingyuan, she even got someone to bring a chair for the couple to sit on.

He carefully placed the magnifying glass back in the box and looked around. He asked, "Alright, everyone, can you tell me whose treasure it is now? Can it win the prize?"

The answer of this question was self-evident.

Even if Duke Xu was not convinced, Gu Yundong raised the magnifying glass so high that it clearly told everyone that it had been carefully prepared for the emperor. The meaning and level of this thing were different.

Soon, someone said, "I think the Marquis’s magnifying glass is really amazing."

"That’s right. I’ve never seen this before. It’s very good for people who read books for a long time."

"I think the magnifying glass is better."

"You can’t say that. Duke Xu’s snuff bottle is also very exquisite, and it’s even imported. Who knows where that magnifying glass came from?"

"The magnifying glass is even more stunning."

Everyone expressed their opinions. Everyone knew that the first place would be between the two of them.

However, there were obviously more people who supported the royal prince, so the results were out after a while.

Yi Zilan cupped his hands at Duke Xu. "Thank you for letting me win."

Duke Xu smiled insincerely. "Victory and defeat are common in war. If I can’t get first place this year, I still have a chance next year. I hope that Your Highness will still have the help of a benefactor next year. Otherwise, I will have to take the win."

As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at Gu Yundong and her husband.

Gu Yundong smiled back.

Yi Zilan narrowed his eyes slightly. Oh, you still want to sow discord?

"My luck has always been good." He waved his hand, looking upright.
