Qi Yuanming had just come out of the palace, and he might know what was going on...

But with the current relationship between the two houses, he will definitely not say it.

Qi Huan was very self-aware and did not make things difficult for him. He quickly caught up with the last two Jinshis: "Two gentlemen, forgive me for being abrupt, please ask me for advice."

She dressed like this and appeared openly near the palace gate. Even if someone who didn't know her, she could tell at a glance that the girl's family background was not rich or noble.

Moreover, a young and beautiful girl took the initiative to talk to her, and it was difficult for her to refuse if she was a man.

The two of them stopped.

However, those who are about to enter the officialdom will be particularly rigorous and not frivolous in such a sensitive occasion outside the palace gate.

The two bowed and returned, and the man who seemed more outgoing and talkative: "What's the matter with a girl?"

Qi Huan pointed to Yang Qingyun and the figure of the inner official in the arch: "The one inside who went to the palace with you to participate in the palace examination is my brother. I don't think he has come out for a long time. Do you know what's wrong with him?"

They and Yang Qingyun didn't know each other before, but they were about to be officials in the same court in the future. This time, when they entered the palace, they had a little bit of eyesight and motivated, and they got to know each other as much as possible and became familiar with each other.

This man had really exchanged names with Yang Qingyun and recognized the other party: "Oh, Brother Yang said he had lost something, and it seemed that he wanted to help him find it."

It’s not that they don’t care about their own affairs and don’t want to help. The main reason is that this is the palace. Everyone is a newcomer, so they are inevitably cautious and really dare not stay.

"Then I understand, thank you both." Qi Huan thanked.

Seeing that Yang Qingyun was still standing in the same place with the inner official...

The palace is the most popular place to support highs and lows, especially some eunuchs with physical defects or old palace maids who have not been trapped in the palace for many years. They are also prone to distortion and perverted psychologically. Newcomers like Yang Qingyun want to trouble them?

I'm afraid it's difficult!

However, Qi Huan didn't dare to ask for anything in the palace, so he rashly went to get involved.

She was in a dilemma here, and Hoi An had already come here: "Miss, it's already afternoon this day. The second young master asked you, do you and the cousin of the Yang family still want to go home with him?"

When you come in the morning, you always have to show your harmony in front of outsiders.

Although Yang Qingyun is used to riding horses, Qi Yuanming is used to riding a carriage, and the two of them still pretend to come together.

Qi Huan turned around and looked at the place where the carriage was parked.

Qi Yuanming had already gotten in the car and he was not seen.

Qi Huan was too lazy to see him, so he said casually: "You guys go first, my cousin and I will have something else to do later, so we won't go back to the house for the time being."

Hoi An Yingnuo said, and quickly ran back to reply. Qi Yuanming and his group went back first, leaving only Yunbei to guard the two horses of their master and servant.

He had been sitting under a tree by the roadside talking to people, and obviously he had not realized that his son was stranded in the palace. Until now, he saw Qi Yuanming leaving them and leaving, and turned around in a hurry, and then he realized that Qi Huan had come too.

Yang Qingyun in the palace has never come out.

If he really lost something, then obviously he would have lost something important, otherwise he would not have been entangled with the palace officials for irrelevant purposes.

Qi Huan was anxious and confused, but at such a distance, she called him rashly, but Yang Qingyun might not hear it. It would be even worse if she made a charge of making noise in front of the palace gate.

"Miss Cousin..." Yunbei ran closer and saw that he realized that the other Jinshi people had left one after another. Even on the roadside in the distance, the remaining carriages, horses and sedans were all from the senior officials who worked in this outer palace city.

"We young master haven't come out yet?" Yun Bei also became anxious in an instant.

Qi Huan said: "I asked someone else and said that something had dropped. I wanted to ask the inner officials in the palace to help find it. If someone else is there, I can't get into the palace gate..."

Yunbei's eyes rolled: "Miss Cousin, please wait a little longer."

Then he ran back to the tree by the side of the road, found the few people who had just chatted with him, and pointed at the side and said a few words to him, and the man followed him.

Qi Huan looked at that person for the first time, he felt familiar.

But I didn't remember it deeply, and I didn't remember where I saw it for a while.

Yunbei hurriedly said, "Miss Cousin forgot? This is Manager Li from Grand Tutor Su, Grandpa Su family. Our young master met in front of the Marquis's Mansion the day he entered Beijing."

Then he put his posture lower and said to the manager Li: "Brother Li, I really have to cause trouble for you. Our cousin is the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and we will not cause trouble. I just want you to lead a way and lead her over to persuade our young master."

Yunbei's brain was quite smart. He also knew his son and knew that Yang Qingyun would have something urgent to stay in the palace under such circumstances. If he only asked the Su family to come in and call him, he might not follow him immediately, so he begged Manager Li to take Qi Huan over directly.

If something really is difficult, it will be easier for her to act with the convenience of her family from the Marquis’s family.

Manager Li and his sedan chair husband had just had a lunch that Yunbei bought. In addition, the two sides walked together for two days on the way back to Beijing, and they were more intimate and willing to help.

The man's attitude was even very humble, and bowed to Qi Huan and said, "My master comes in and out of this palace every day. At least he is familiar with him. Miss, please follow me."

"Thank you, sir." Qi Huan hurriedly thanked, "I was a little anxious just now. Although I saw that the gentleman was a little kind-faced, I really didn't recognize him at first sight. Please forgive me."

"Where is, Miss, please be polite."

Manager Li led the way in front and led her towards the palace gate.

This palace gate connects to the outer palace gate of the previous dynasty. When you enter a square, there are first places where the inspector's office, Dali Temple and the six ministries and other departments are concentrated in the office. Then, you can pass another palace gate and enter the palace where the emperor attends court and the imperial study room for daily administration.

Although it is a place that only people from the palace and important officials of the court cannot enter and exit from the palace gate, the guards of this palace gate still have room for flexibility.

Manager Li was indeed a familiar face here. He led Qi Huan over and explained the reason to the guards: "It's a girl from the Changning Marquis' Mansion. She came to pick up the wise Jinshi. I took her in and asked about the reason and she would come out soon."

Qi Huan is a little girl who doesn't go into the inner palace, so the guards naturally have to give the Su family a face.

Manager Li still did it himself and led Qi Huan through the long and cool door hole.

Yang Qingyun stood in front of him from the back, and was anxious, but he had to talk to the inner official with a good temper, so he failed to pay attention to this side in time.

When Qi Huan approached, he heard the inner official say irritably in his strange duck voice: "After this long journey, you have been through Yuxiu Garden in the previous dynasty. Who knows whether your jade really fell into the palace or didn't bring it at all? Do you know how many people you need and how much time you waste when you get it back? It's not that our family is unreasonable. Everyone in the palace has their own errands. They have to delay the serious work in order to find this item for you. They beat the board and punish Yueyin. Who will be punished? "

"Then Immortal Lao is a little more comfortable and lead the way. I can find it back for myself?" Yang Qingyun knew that he could not be tempted by them, and his attitude was so humble that he was not uncommon.

The inner official wanted to refuse, and then he saw someone coming here.

The light in the door was dark, and he didn't recognize Manager Li at first glance. Instead, he looked at Qi Huan, the girl who appeared rashly, and immediately raised her fingertips of orchids and angrily shouted: "Bold! Where did you come from? Do you know where this is? Who asked you to come in..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Manager Li's face clearly, and his voice came to an abrupt end.

Then, he changed his face and smiled flatteringly: "Oh, Mr. Li, today the Grand Tutor accompanied His Majesty to preside over the palace examination. He didn't come out at this time. I think he was left to have dinner with him. Why did you still come in?"

Mr. Li was at ease in dealing with him and said with a smile: "I know our master must be busy today. This girl is a junior who we master knows. Come and find someone, I will lead a way."

Yang Qingyun really didn't expect Qi Huan to find this. She was nervous and couldn't help but gasp: "Cousin?"

As the chief examiner of this term, Su Qinnian was very sensitive. Manager Li deliberately went around and said that he knew Qi Huan, but deliberately did not reveal that Yang Qingyun and Su Qinnian also knew each other before.

When the inner official looked at Yang Qingyun and his sister again, his attitude immediately improved a lot, but he still didn't want to help: "Young master, it's not our family's intentional embarrassment, and you are not sure where this thing was lost. Our family is just a errand job, and I really can't help it."

Qi Huan handed Yang Qingyun an inquiring look.

Yang Qingyun had a sad face and explained in a concise way: "I clearly remember that my jade was still there when I came out of Wende Hall, but when I was about to leave the palace gate... I disappeared."

While speaking, he quickly spread his left fist that he had been clenching and looked at Qi Huan.

His palm was covered with some blue-colored broken threads.

Qi Huan took the opportunity to look at his waist and saw that there was some stain on his belt and the hem of his robe.

I also understand in my heart—

This is not lost, or rather stolen.

It was obvious that the rope on the belt was cut off and it was gone.

Qi Huan also understood why he only said that this internal official was lost, but did not say that it was stolen-

These people in the palace are very pretentious. You beg them with kindness. Maybe they will be able to be comfortable. If you want to speak, they will say that their people steal, and you will be afraid that you will not even have the chance to say a few more words.

Yang Qingyun is entangled with him here, probably making the worst plan...

If the jade pendant really can't be found, then as much as possible, it will make more trouble here. After all, it is his close friend. If you look back, if you really miss it, you will be involved in any trouble. If you have heard of this, you will have more chances to argue and prove yourself.

Qi Huan bit his lip and was considering whether to ask Manager Li to continue to help cut off the worries about the matter. He happened to catch up with the palace guards changing their posts.

A square-faced and heroic school captain led a team of imperial guards to swagger from the direction of the guard station.

"Are you Miss Qi from Changning Marquis' Mansion?" Seeing Qi Huan, his face immediately smiled and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to change defenses, but he walked straight to Qi Huan.

Qi Huan's reaction this time is not slow...

This was the captain who sent Gu Zhan back to his house in the middle of the night on the ninth day of last month. Yang also gave him money to drink and thanked him.

"Changning Marquis Mansion?" The inner officer looked at this and that, and then reacted, and his face became awkward with the naked eye. "Look at this misunderstanding. Since he is the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, why didn't the girl say it earlier? Martial Arts Captain, are you familiar with the girl?"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense. He is a daughter in a boudoir. Why are he familiar with a rough person like me?" Wu Ziwei looked so angry that he corrected him seriously.

After a look at Qi Huan again, he immediately smiled and turned into a flower: "Are you here to find our prince? He usually doesn't serve in our Imperial Guard, but he's..."

He grabbed his head and thought for a while, turned to ask his subordinates: "Have you entered the palace?"

Qi Huan:...

Manager Li was confused, and the inner official heard that he was already in chaos...

The Changning Marquis Mansion is really nothing special, but first comes a confidant from Taifu Su, then a lieutenant who works as a servant in the palace, and now another prince...

Which prince is talking about?

I wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, but I didn't dare to take it lightly behind my back. I even became nervous and waited for the Martial Arts Captain to continue talking.

Qi Huan didn't want to run to the palace gate to make any scandals, so he immediately robbed him and said, "The Martial Arts Captain misunderstood. I won't look for him. My cousin went to the palace for the palace examination today. My mother was worried and asked me to pick him up."

She also intentionally misleads her and pretends to be very familiar with this Martial Arts Captain.
