As the plane pierced through the clouds, Li Baobei gazed at the scenery outside the window, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Nanhai City.
"Miss, are you here to visit the South China Sea Museum?" A pretty female tour guide stood in the center of the square, looking at Li Baobei with gentle eyes.
"Um."
"Do you need a guide? I can give you a comprehensive understanding of the history of all the artifacts in the South China Sea Museum and the various stories associated with them."
"It only costs fifty yuan for the whole trip. You won't lose out or be cheated." The girl looked at her kindly with a simple smile.
"Okay." Li Baobei agreed lightly. Her sunglasses covered her beautiful eyes, and her long, black hair was as beautiful as a painting, radiating a charming luster in the sunlight, making people fall in love with her.
"Just call me Alan, miss. May I ask your name?"
"Oh~ just call me Miss Li." The two walked towards the museum.
Alan began his explanation tirelessly: "Nanhai is a historical and cultural city that blends ancient traditions with modern elements. Its richness and importance make it a popular destination for tourists from all over the world..."
"Especially in recent years, the discovery of a large imperial tomb of unknown dynasty has suddenly made the South China Sea a popular tourist destination..."
...
Li Baobei saw many dazzling gold and silver jewelry pieces and felt inexplicably familiar with them.
Alan continued, "What we are seeing now are various artifacts excavated and preserved from the newly discovered ancient tomb. Among them are more than 3,000 pieces of jewelry that the emperor commissioned to be made for his only empress, Lady Li..."
As she watched and listened to Alan's explanation, many scenes kept flashing through her mind.
She couldn't see clearly. She wanted to get a better look at the man's face, but then her head suddenly started to ache again.
"Are you alright?" Alan turned to look at Li Baobei, whose face had turned deathly pale, and asked.
Li Baobei said weakly, "It's nothing, I just have a bit of a headache. Can I find a place to sit down?"
“Okay.” Alan quickly helped her walk to a chair outside.
As Li Baobei's headache gradually subsided, she asked, "Alan, I want to know the story of this newly excavated ancient tomb. I've seen many legends about it online."
"Oh, so you're interested in this!" Alan saw her complexion improve and his heart gradually relaxed.
He started talking non-stop~
"When I was a child, I heard the elders say that Nanhai City was an imperial capital a long, long time ago."
"Nobody knows what its specific name is."
"Legend has it that the emperor only married one woman after he ascended the throne, and he was buried with that woman after he died."
"I used to think this was impossible. Which emperor in ancient times didn't have three wives and four concubines?"
"It wasn't until the ancient tomb in that small mountain village was discovered that all the rumors turned out to be true that people realized that there was also beautiful love in ancient times that lasted a lifetime."
Alan's eyes were filled with longing as she continued, "To be honest, no woman wouldn't envy Empress Li, who was showered with love and affection." Her eyes sparkled, as if she were anticipating something.
Li Baobei asked eagerly, "Are there any other stories about that Li family member and the emperor?"
“Hmm~” Alan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly said, “I heard that the Li family is the daughter of a prime minister from another country. Other details are still being investigated and are not yet clear.”
Li Baobei nodded, "I see..."
She continued, "I'd like to know which exhibition hall that love bracelet is in?"
"You're probably referring to that red bracelet that was unearthed and worn by the Li family, right? It's on the top floor, and generally no one can get in there," Alan replied, looking embarrassed.
"Oh, I was really interested in seeing that bracelet, but I didn't expect..." Li Baobei's expression was tinged with melancholy.
Alan noticed her disappointment and quickly said, "I'll make a call and ask. You wait here."
Li Baobei watched as Alan walked to the side and whispered something into the phone.
Beep~
"Hello!" A rough voice came from the phone.
"Uncle, one of my guests wants to see the museum's prized possession. Could you make an exception?" Alan whispered into his phone.
"You little brat, I told you to go to work properly instead of being a tour guide. You bother me a hundred times a day. I can't be bothered with you anymore."
“No, please,” she continued, “Uncle, this is the last time. I know you work here, please be lenient with us. We can just take a look from afar.”
"That bracelet will be officially on display next month, so tell her to come next month!"
"Uncle, this young lady has come all this way, it must have been difficult for her~ Please!" she said coquettishly.
"You, you~" came a disappointed voice from the phone.
Finally, he asked helplessly, "Where is he?"
"First floor of the museum."
"Wait for me on the top floor."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle. Love you~ Sending you a heart."
The call ended, and Alan walked towards Li Baobei with a smile. "Come on, let's go up to the top floor and wait for someone to open the door."
"Can I watch it now?" Li Baobei asked Alan with a big question in her mind.
“Yes, we have connections.” Alan winked at her as he spoke.
The two took the elevator to the top floor.
A short while later, a portly man walked towards them; this must be Alan's uncle.
She looked a little chubby, but thankfully had a kind face. She glanced at Alan helplessly, "Hurry up!"
