"Ms. Xu, please allow me to thank you for your donation today on behalf of all the cultural relics workers of the Old Palace Museum."

Shan Yunxiang took the initiative to extend his right hand towards Xu Yiyu, his eyes filled with gratitude.

The dean, who has been dealing with cultural relics for half his life, did not ask Xu Yiyu how much he paid for the dragon head at the auction.

The value of all historical relics can never be measured by money.

"Dean Shan, you are too polite. If I ever buy cultural relics at an auction again, I will donate them immediately and will never let them wander around."

When Xu Yiyu shook hands with Shan Yunxiang, his eyes were bright and his expression became more determined.

She hopes that every cultural relic lost abroad can return home as soon as possible, and she will do her best to achieve this.

After the successful donation of the dragon head, Xu Yiyu finally felt at ease and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Xu Yiyu wanted to refuse the donation certificate issued by Shan Yunxiang several times, but under his repeated insistence, he finally took the certificate.

The paper used to print the donation certificate was not very thick, but Xu Yiyu took it from Shan Yunxiang's hand carefully and steadily, as if he had taken over some responsibility without saying a word.

After saying goodbye to Shan Yunxiang, Mu Jiulan and the two vice presidents, Xu Yiyu safely handed the certificate to Tianlin and asked him to keep it well for him during his stay in the imperial capital.

"When I return to Shandong Province, I will show this donation certificate to my parents!"

Lu Sanshi watched intently as Tianlin properly placed the donation certificate. He felt that not only had his baby done a great thing, he himself also felt proud of it.

"Of course, uncle and aunt will definitely be very happy."

Although Xu Yiyu did not have any other thoughts before donating the dragon head, this was a good deed and not something shameful, so why couldn't he share it with others?

When walking out of the Old Palace Museum from its west door, Xu Yiyu looked back at the huge palace complex behind him and suddenly had an inexplicable premonition.

Maybe one day in the future, she will come back here.

It was just after 9 o'clock when the two arrived at the museum, but after completing all the procedures and looking at their phones, it was already nearly 12 o'clock.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the old palace is too big. Fortunately, they were wearing sneakers and casual clothes when they went out in the morning, otherwise the two of them would have walked more than 10,000 steps in just half a day, and their feet would have been sore a long time ago.

Since August is still in the summer vacation, there are many tourists visiting the Old Palace, including men, women, young and old, from China and abroad.

Although it was almost lunchtime, there were still many tourists from all over the world queuing up to visit the Old Palace. Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi held hands and walked around the main entrance to take a look. The long lines seemed to have no end. The hot weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the tourists at all. Almost everyone had an expectant look on their face.

Xu Yiyu smiled slightly and was about to leave with her classmate Sanshi, but the next second she was stopped by a young girl holding a mini microphone.

Behind the girl was a boy holding a mobile phone and recording a video. When Xu Yiyu saw this scene, he immediately guessed the purpose of the duo.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, can you accept a short street interview? Two or three minutes will do."

When Chang Xiaoting asked for the street interview, she felt a little uneasy.

I don't know if she was unlucky today. She and her photographer waited at the main gate of the Old Palace for the whole morning, nearly three or four hours, and only managed to interview two people.

She asked no less than a hundred passers-by for street interviews, but they either waved their hands to refuse her or walked straight past her without even paying any attention to her.

Although Chang Xiaoting understood that most of the people who appeared in front of the main gate of the Old Palace at this time were here to visit the Old Palace, she was still a little frustrated after repeatedly hitting a wall throughout the morning.

"Sure, about what?"

Xu Yiyu took a quick look at Chang Xiaoting, who didn't even bother to put on her sun hat or umbrella, and agreed to her street interview request quite straightforwardly.

Tianlin silently handed Xu Yiyu a bottle of water from behind. When Xu Yiyu took it, she looked back at Tianlin, wondering where he came from.

Chang Xiaoting was immediately delighted when she heard Xu Yiyu's affirmative answer. Before she could ask Xu Yiyu a question, she saw the young lady in front of her with a unique temperament handing her a bottle of water with a slightly curved eyebrow, with a tissue between her fingertips.

"Drink some water, your lips are chapped."

Seeing Chang Xiaoting standing there in a daze, Xu Yiyu handed the water to her again.

"If you're worried, I can open the bottle cap and take a sip first, and then you can drink it."

Fearing that Chang Xiaoting might have safety concerns, Xu Yiyu took the initiative to add a sentence, further expressing his goodwill.

Chang Xiaoting took the water with a dazed look on her face. The cameraman behind her walked up, took the water in his hand and unscrewed the cap. After finding out that it was a bottle of mineral water that had never been opened before, he handed it back to Chang Xiaoting and nodded at her.

"Thank you, little sister. I've been here all morning, and you're the third person who agreed to be interviewed by me. You're really an angel!"

Chang Xiaoting's natural and sincere praise made Xu Yiyu feel a little embarrassed. He subconsciously hid behind Lu Sanshi beside him, and his cheeks flushed slightly under the mask.

"Um...thank you for the compliment."

Seeing that his baby was shy, Lu Sanshi looked at Xu Yiyu with a doting smile, and expressed his gratitude to Chang Xiaoting on behalf of Xu Yiyu.

Chang Xiaoting, who was holding a mini microphone, had a "touched" expression on her face. Even the cameraman behind her had an auntie smile on his face, with an expression of "you guys continue, you guys continue, this is a good opportunity for me to shoot more footage" as if he was standing in the front row watching the show.

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic. May I ask if you two are here to tour the Old Palace today? I just saw you guys coming from the west. Have you finished your tour today?"

Chang Xiaoting at least remembered the street interview questions that needed to be asked. After drinking some water and clearing her throat, she quickly restored her expression to normal.

"Well, we are tourists, and indeed we just came out of the west gate. However, there were not many things to see this time, so we will probably come back again."

Xu Yiyu thought for a few seconds before answering Chang Xiaoting's question. It was impossible for him to truthfully say that he was here to donate cultural relics, so he avoided the main point.

"What impressed you most in the old palace? Objects, people, stories, scenery or animals, anything is fine."

Chang Xiaoting managed to suppress her urge to ship the couple and asked the second question in a relatively normal manner.

"There are many that left a deep impression on me, but if I had to pick just one..."

When he thought of the two little guys he met at the entrance of the Cultural Relics Management Office this morning, the corners of Xu Yiyu's mouth began to rise uncontrollably.

"…Those should be the two newly appointed imperial guards with swords."
