Chapter 53
Whose date should I go to?
Ning Qingzhou shook his head.
Bai Jiuxiao narrowed her eyes, leaned down and came close to him: "What does shaking your head mean? Is it okay, or is it not okay?"
Staring at such a close range, Ning Qingzhou froze as if petrified: "It's not okay."
"Very good." Bai Jiuxiao straightened up, very satisfied with his reaction and answer.
"Have you had lunch?" she asked.
"Not yet," Ning Qingzhou glanced at Shi Luo aside, "It's almost there."
"I will take you out of the palace to eat delicious food." Bai Jiuxiao said.
After he finished speaking, he called out loudly: "Tongquan!"
Tongquan walked in quickly: "Your Majesty."
"Hold him and let's go to Yipinxianju."
After giving the instructions, Bai Jiuxiao turned around and walked out.
Tongquan was startled. Yipinxianju was the best restaurant in the capital. How about taking a proton to dine there?
Ning Qingzhou naturally didn't want to go, so he whispered: "I'm not hungry."
Bai Jiuxiao stopped and turned around, with a cold face: "Do you think this king is discussing with you?"
Ning Qingzhou lowered his head and lost his voice.
Tongquan stepped forward and picked him up.
A group of three people left Fuxia Palace.

In Niannan Liyuan, Ning Shiqian was sitting behind his desk reading the flying pigeon letter sent by his man from Sang Lin, when there was a knock on the door.
He immediately put the letter into his sleeve: "Who?"
"Son."
It's Shi Lei's voice.
Ning Shiqian's eyebrows relaxed slightly: "Come in."
"Sir, Bai Jiuxiao took the eleventh prince to the First Grade Immortal Residence." Shi Lei said excitedly as he entered.
Ning Shiqian was a little surprised: "What are you going to do there?"
"Have a meal, young master, can we take this opportunity to meet the eleventh prince?"
Ning Shiqian remained silent.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "Yesterday, Grandmaster Zhu's granddaughter, Zhu Xiaoxiao, asked the maid to come over and ask me to meet at Yipin Xianju today?"
"Yes, but didn't Master ask us all to decline?" Shi Lei replied.
Ever since his young master showed up at Concubine Xi's birthday banquet that day, many noble ladies came to invite him to meet him, but none of his young masters were seen.
"In this case, send someone to Zhu's Mansion immediately to ask, and say, I didn't see Miss Zhu in Yipinxianju. Has Miss Zhu not gone out yet? In this case, Zhu Xiaoxiao must have thought that it was you who conveyed the wrong message yesterday, or maybe It's her maid who may have misunderstood, but in fact I didn't refuse, she will definitely go to Yipin Xianju immediately."
You must find a reason to "encounter" Bai Jiuxiao and the others in Yipin Xianju.
Bai Jiuxiao is so suspicious and vigilant, and ordinary reasons may arouse his suspicion.
It is no secret that all the noble ladies in the capital want to date him. It is normal for him to go to the date.
Moreover, a little research revealed that Zhu Xiaoxiao had made an appointment with him yesterday, and it was not a temporary arrangement today.

In the elegant room of Yipin Xianju, Bai Jiuxiao and Ning Qingzhou sat opposite each other, and the shopkeeper came to serve the food in person.
All kinds of exquisite dishes were placed on the table, and the shopkeeper bowed respectfully.
Tongquan was about to close the door of Yajian, but Bai Jiuxiao stopped him: "The door is open, I want to listen to the sound of the piano in the lobby."
Tongquan laughs.
When did his prince become interested in the piano?
"It's not easy for Your Majesty to listen. I will go and call someone up right now to play for Your Majesty alone."
"No need, it's interesting if you can seem to hear it, but also if you can't hear it." Bai Jiuxiao said.
Tongquan: "."
What kind of strange way of appreciation is this?
He didn't dare to ask, he didn't dare to say, so he could only open the door of the private room wide open.
Bai Jiuxiao held chopsticks and motioned to Ning Qingzhou: "Eat."
Ning Qingzhou dared not move.
Bai Jiuxiao stared at him: "Is this king terrible?"
Ning Qingzhou nodded, reacted immediately, and quickly shook his head.
"Since you know that this king is terrible, why don't you eat it?" Bai Jiuxiao suddenly said in a deep voice.
Ning Qingzhou trembled in fright and quickly picked up the chopsticks.
Bai Jiuxiao picked up some vegetables, put them in his bowl, and then started eating by himself.
Ning Qingzhou lowered his head and ate slowly, the taste was like chewing wax.
He didn't know what bad intentions this bad man had who attacked his country, kidnapped him, brought him to Da Zhao, and put him under house arrest in Fuxia Palace?
Anyway, he didn't believe it, he brought him out for lunch specially.
When Ning Shiqian came to Yipinxianju, Bai Jiuxiao and the others had almost used it.
Of course, Bai Jiuxiao used it almost as much as possible, while Ning Qingzhou didn't eat much even though he didn't put away his chopsticks.
Ning Shiqian told the waiter that he had an appointment, but he didn't know the specific room number, so he didn't need anyone to show him around. He could look for it himself.
So, I found the outside of Bai Jiuxiao's private room.
Because the door of the elegant room was wide open, Bai Jiuxiao raised her eyes and met his eyes.
Ning Shiqian seemed to be "unexpected", and then he didn't come in. He just stood outside the door, bowed slightly in his direction as a salute, and then prepared to leave and continue to look for the person who asked him out.
.
There was a hint of interest in Bai Jiuxiao's eyes, but she stopped him: "Ning Si."
Ning Shiqian stopped immediately.
Turning around, he saw Bai Jiuxiao looking at him with raised eyes, but said nothing, as if waiting for him to approach.
He naturally wanted it, but he didn't show it, and walked into the private room with a little doubt.
Ning Qingzhou looked up and saw him coming in. He was overjoyed and said in surprise: "Four"
But he was stopped by Bai Jiuxiao sternly: "His name was also called by you? Even if you are the prince, even if he is your fourth brother's friend and you two know him, but how old are you and how old is he? How can he be like this without any elders or young children?"
Call him by his name?”
Ning Qingzhou was so frightened that the word "brother" got stuck in his throat.
Ning Shiqian also breathed tightly and then relaxed slightly.
On the way, he thought about it, fearing that when Shiyi saw him, his identity would be exposed directly.
After all, he is still just a child.
Therefore, he was going to give him a gesture code to remind him, which was a gesture in a game they played.
But before he could remind him, the guy raised his eyes and shouted. Fortunately, Bai Jiuxiao thought he was shouting his name "four".
Fortunately, that night he went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and told Bai Jiuxiao that he was a close friend of the Fourth Prince.
so close.
He immediately smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Although I haven't met the Eleventh Prince a few times, he always calls me 'Four'."
Bai Jiuxiao nodded, no longer obsessed with this question, and asked him quietly: "Why are you here? Are you here to eat too?"
Just when he was about to say that we should go together, since he knew Ning Qingzhou anyway, and it was rare for Ning Qingzhou to meet an acquaintance, he heard Ning Shiqian reply: "I'm here to keep an appointment with Miss Zhu."
Bai Jiuxiao frowned slightly, but did not say anything: "Whose appointment are you going to?"
"Miss Zhu Xiaoxiao," Ning Shiqian replied respectfully.
Bai Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Have you eaten?" She suddenly turned her head and asked Ning Qingzhou.
Ning Qingzhou was originally looking at Ning Shiqian, but when he heard her sudden question, he came back to his senses and nodded.
"Then go back to the palace."
Seeing Bai Jiuxiao getting up, Ning Qingzhou had no choice but to get up, but Bai Jiuxiao glanced at him with a cold look: "Isn't it that the broken toe is not healed yet? Can you walk by yourself?"
Ning Qingzhou held the edge of the table and didn't know how to answer.
"Tongquan, why are you still standing there? Just like when you came here, hug someone!" Bai Jiuxiao ordered in a deep voice.
Tongquan hurried over and hugged Ning Qingzhou.
"I still have official duties to attend to, so I'll take the first step." After saying something to Ning Shiqian, Bai Jiuxiao strode towards the door.
Tongquan hugged Ning Qingzhou and followed quickly.
Ning Shiqian: "."
