Before she could look back, the person opposite lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to go out."
When he raised his head and saw the person standing in front of him, the apology on his face suddenly turned into surprise, "Mr. Shen, why are you free to come here today? Come on, I just received a notice that there is a new arrival at Cuiwei Palace. I found an object that is suspected to have been used by Emperor Yuan Zhao, please come with me to have a look."
Shen Yunqing was stunned but could not get angry.
"I'm afraid not yet."
"Ah, why..." The middle-aged man paused and then noticed a slender and beautiful girl standing beside him, "I'm sorry, I was just too excited. Who is this girl?"
Jiang Lingxi: "I am Mr. Shen's assistant."
"Assistant? Mr. Shen's new recruit? This girl can become Mr. Shen's assistant at such a young age. She has a bright future!"
Facing the middle-aged man's approving gaze, Jiang Lingxi smiled and nodded, "I think so too."
Shen Yunqing: "..."
He let out a breath and said, "I'll come over and apply for a temporary work permit."
"Oh, it's for the assistant. I happen to have a new one here. I'll get it when I go back."
Shen Yunqing looked at him and hurriedly turned back. He saw Jiang Lingxi smiling again, and explained helplessly: "The person just now was Fu Yunchen, the deputy director of the Yinhe Palace Museum. He is a bit impatient. He usually behaves like this when he makes new discoveries."
"It seems like this isn't the first time you've been raped."
Shen Yunqing nodded helplessly, "It's indeed not the first time."
"My surname is Fu."
"Um."
Jiang Lingxi just sighed casually, not expecting that the people around her would understand.
Shen Yunqing understood why she sighed.
"Come here, here comes the work permit." Fu Yunchen hurried back with a small blue sign, came to Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing, and quickly took out a pen from the pen holder on the side, "What's the girl's name? "
"Jiang Lingxi. The surname of Dayin is Jiang. It is the sun that carries out orders and prohibitions, and the east sun shines."
"Jiang..." Fu Yunchen's pen tip fell on the paper. As soon as he wrote a word, his strokes were paused. He looked up at the girl standing in front of him elegantly. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. It was just special. Carefully write the remaining two words, "Okay."
Jiang Lingxi took it and imitated him by hanging the work badge around her neck.
Turning around, he saw that Shen Yunqing had also hung up his, but the color was different, using purple rope and purple brand.
Better looking than hers!
"Assistant Jiang, will you come too?"
"good."
In fact, when she heard that there was a new discovery in Cuiwei Palace, she wanted to go and have a look.
She didn't know about other dynasties, but in the Dayin Dynasty, Cuiwei Palace had always been the palace where the queen lived.
Her mother also lived in Cuiwei Palace for several years. It was not until she ascended the throne and her mother was promoted from Queen to Queen Mother that she moved out of Cuiwei Palace.
However, she never named a male queen or even a male concubine in her life, so Cuiwei Palace remained empty.
It is very possible that there are items that she used when she lived with her mother in Cuiwei Palace as a child.
Naturally, Shen Yunqing would not object.
So the two of them sat in the office for less than two minutes before getting on the balance car to Cuiwei Palace.
Yes, balance bikes are the most commonly used means of transportation for the staff of Yinhe Palace.
Just because the Yinhe Palace occupies a large area. If you only walk on two legs, walking from the southernmost palace to the northernmost palace will take a day. If you use other means of transportation, you are afraid of damaging the environment and occupying a small area. The convenient and fast balancing car has become everyone's first choice.
Now there is one for everyone. Even before Jiang Lingxi arrived, Fu Yunchen helped her borrow one as fast as getting a temporary work permit.
After two simple exercises in the yard, the three of them stood on the balance car and set off.
Jiang Lingxi was busy exploring other functions of the balancing car, and unknowingly she surpassed the other two people.
Fu Yunchen, who was lagging behind, wanted to remind her not to go in the wrong direction, but seeing that the girl looked more familiar with the route to Cuiwei Palace than he, the deputy director, he put his raised hand back.
He turned to chat with Shen Yunqing who was keeping pace next to him, "Assistant Jiang has been to Yinhe Palace before?"
"Um."
Shen Yunqing nodded, and at the same time added in his heart: Not only has he been here, but in terms of familiarity with this Yinhe Palace, I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with the former owner of this place.
After walking some distance, Fu Yunchen suddenly hissed: "Wait, I just remembered that Cuiwei Palace and the surrounding areas seem to be closed to the public. Assistant Jiang... Oh, Consultant Shen, wait for me!"
When he hurriedly and slowly caught up with the two people who had left him far behind, he looked at Cuiwei Palace not far ahead and suddenly had no intention of worrying about the problem just now.
"Let's go and see if it belongs to Emperor Yuan Zhao."
To enter the palace, you need to wear footwear first. Jiang Lingxi took the footwear handed over by Shen Yunqing and put it on a little unfamiliarly. She raised her feet and crossed the threshold of Cuiwei Palace. She looked at the familiar furnishings and the empty palace. Time seems like a lifetime ago.
"Come."
The sound coming from the front made her snap back to reality, and she raised her feet to follow.
When I saw the arm-long box carefully held out by the staff in the palace, I was stunned again.
Ever since she entered Cuiwei Palace, Shen Yunqing had been paying close attention to Jiang Lingxi without leaving any trace. Looking at her expression, she knew that this box was most likely left by the Queen Mother.
Fu Yunchen had already put on gloves to take the box while the two of them were looking at it, but when he saw that the box was locked, he couldn't help but frowned, "Why didn't you explain clearly that there is a lock on this box? If I had known, I would have called Mr. Gong over. Mr. Shen, I don’t have much research on this machine lock, why don’t you come and give it a try?”
Shen Yunqing's contribution to the historical research of Yinhe Palace is no less than that of his deputy director, and Fu Yunchen has almost blind confidence in him.
But this time Shen Yunqing didn't answer. He hesitated and said, "Let's wait for Mr. Gong to come over."
His Majesty is right next to him, how can he have the nerve to show off his sword in front of Guan Gong?
Fu Yunchen had no choice but to put down the box and prepare to go out and make a call.
Jiang Lingxi stopped him, "Director Fu, I have some research on machine locks. Why don't I give it a try?"
"Then, Assistant Jiang, try it first, be careful not to damage it." Although Fu Yunchen agreed, he didn't have much confidence in her, so he still took the phone and walked out.
Jiang Lingxi didn't say anything when she saw this. She took the gloves from Shen Yunqing and put them on before touching the lock on the box.
In fact, she didn't have a deep impression of this box. She vaguely remembered that it was a plaything when she was about ten years old. She couldn't remember exactly what was put in it. She only remembered that the box belonged to a machine master at that time. As a training exercise, she seems to have carved her own mark on the bottom, meaning it belongs to her.
It was only now that she saw her again that she suddenly realized that she had stayed in her mother's harem.
Fortunately, this machine lock has long been stored in the body memory because I often played with it when I was a child. Without thinking too much, he quickly moved his fingers a few times and heard a crisp loudspeaker sound.
A staff member whispered in his ear, "Wait..."
Before the next words could be spoken, Jiang Lingxi had already raised her hand to open the box.
After seeing clearly what was inside, Jiang Lingxi looked at her hand that was still holding the lid of the box and hated herself for being so quick just now.
Just ask, is it too late to restore the mechanism now?
