Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not that Xie Qiao did not like the world map, but the significance of this item was extraordinary.

No matter how valuable it was, it could not be sold for silver, nor could it be displayed openly. In fact, it had to be hidden carefully. As such, it could not be considered something good.

Therefore, it was naturally impossible for her to be as obsessed and careful as Zhao Xuanjing.

“Your gift is a bit too much.” One must say that even he was at a loss about what Xie Qiao was going to give the Empress.

The world map had been the blood and sweat of the Baili family for many years. The previous Emperor had always believed that there was a treasure inside, so he had forced the Baili family to hand it over. The Baili family refused to comply, which led to the destruction of the family.

It was also because of the Baili family’s destruction that caused the public to be angry. In addition, they had accumulated grudges for a long time, which led to the change of the dynasty.

This world map had a different meaning.

“Isn’t it the Empress’ Birthday? My family isn’t very well off, and I only have this piece of old sheepskin that I can give,” Xie Qiao said in all seriousness.

Zhao Xuanjing was dumbfounded at the moment.

A piece of old sheepskin?

The others were not like Zhao Xuanjing who could tell what this thing was at a glance.

Even the Empress was puzzled. “Young Lady Xie, what is this thing? It looks like a landscape painting.”

“Mother, this is the most precious treasure of the Baili family of the previous dynasty, the world map. The paintings on it are the landscapes of various countries,” Zhao Xuanjing said.

The Empress stood up in shock. “Really?!”

How could she not have heard of the world map?!

“Whether it is authentic or not, we’d need to get some masters to come over and appraise it personally.” Xie Qiao said humbly.

The Empress immediately walked down and looked at the map. She could not decide. She thought for a moment and said, “Quickly go and invite His Majesty over and take a look. Send some people to invite a few teachers from the Royal Academy to come over.”

Dong Xiyun also panicked when she saw the Empress lose her composure.

The world map? That was impossible, right?

The Xie family was just a bandit. How could they get such a good treasure?!

There were also fold marks on the sheepskin picture. It indeed looked like it had been weighed down by a heavy object for a long time.

Dong Xiyun stared at the picture nervously, but she... could not tell whether it was the real thing or not.

She kept praying in her heart, hoping that it was fake!

If it was real, then she would really be reduced to dust by Xie Qiao!

Today, she had proudly presented the Empress with only a bright moon pearl. How could it be compared to the world map? If it was the real thing and the news spread out, then would she not lose her dignity?

How could a bright moon pearl, which could emit light, be compared to the world map, which was unique…

Dong Xiyun did not dare to look away. She could not even hide her worried look.

The Fourth Prince was a fun person. He knew that if his future sister-in-law gave them something valuable, if Young Lady Dong was eager to win, she would probably feel uncomfortable.

So he glanced at her.

However, Dong Xiyun’s expression was too much…

The Fourth Prince frowned. He did not like it very much.

Everyone knew that the Empress would not celebrate her birthday. It was Young Lady Dong who brought up this matter first. Since Young Lady Xie did not bring the item to the palace in the beginning, it was obvious that she was preparing to give it to his father and mother in private. This way, no one would lose face.

However, Young Lady Dong had just said something that forced Young Lady Xie to bring the item up.

The Fourth Prince felt a little resentful.

The wife the Meng family had chosen for him seemed to be quite stubborn.
