Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Chapter 63 Can't Help You
Duoying Tea House, second floor.

Seeing Ning Shiqian coming in, Qu Ge smiled and said: "Yo, Mr. Ning came quite early today, Miss Zhu hasn't arrived yet."

Ning Shiqian glanced at her, ignored her, went straight to the seat by the window and sat down.

Raising his eyes, he glanced out of the window, looked away, and poured himself a glass of water with the pot: "Is there no reply from the father yet?"

A few days ago, the head of one of their hidden piles told him that General Tong of Da Zhao had taken a fancy to the night pearl on his sword tassel.

Ye Mingzhu was bestowed by his father, the master did not dare to gift it to himself, so he asked for his opinion.

He felt that General Tong had a lot of prestige in the Zhao army, and if he could infiltrate him, it would be of great benefit to Sang Lin.

So, he passed the matter to Feige to Sang Lin, and asked his father for instructions.

Logically speaking, it should have received a reply earlier.

"Not yet," Qu Ge also felt that it was not normal. "According to the past practice, we should have received the news yesterday. Could it be that the pigeon had a problem halfway?"

Ning Shiqian picked up his cup and took a sip of tea: "Not ruled out."

"Well," Qu Ge nodded, "Fortunately, ordinary people can't understand our words."

Quge got up, went to the inner room and brought out a plate of delicate pastries, and put it in front of Ning Shiqian: "You like peach cakes, no sugar is added."

"Thank you." Ning Shiqian didn't take it, but still drank the tea in silence.

Putting down the cup, he ordered Qu Ge: "Resend a copy of the news from that day to Sang Lin."

"it is good."

When Zhu Xiaoxiao came, her eyes were as red as rabbits, obviously she had cried.

"What's wrong?" Quge asked.

Ning Shiqian also looked at her suspiciously.

She looked at Ning Shiqian, and cried "Wow" again.

"What happened?" Qu Ge asked the maid Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian also had a mournful face: "The emperor issued a decree to bestow a marriage, and my young lady will soon become the Ninth Princess."

"What?" Ning Shiqian and Quge were astonished and said in unison.

"My young lady is going to marry the Ninth Prince."

Ning Shiqian and Qu Ge were shocked.

"Bai Jiuxiao?" Ning Shiqian confirmed again.

Xiao Lian was speechless: "There is only one Nine Princes in our Great Zhao!"

Qu Ge frowned, looked at the woman lying on the table, crying out of breath, and asked, "Is it a rumor, or has it become a fact?"

"The imperial decree has been sent to the Grand Master's Mansion." Xiao Lian said with a bitter face.

"Why so suddenly?" Qu Ge looked at Ning Shiqian.

"That's right, Miss said that she never dreamed that this would happen. She and the Ninth Prince met each other when some grand ceremonies were held in the palace, and they couldn't even say a word."

"What does the emperor mean?" Ning Shiqian asked.

"No, it's the meaning of the Ninth Prince. The grand master said, this morning, the Ninth Prince suddenly said that he is in love with my young lady and asks for a marriage from the emperor."

Ning Shiqian and Quge were even more surprised.

It turned out that Bai Jiuxiao proposed it on his own initiative?

"What does the grand master mean?" Qu Ge asked.

Zhu Xiaoxiao raised her head, her eyes were red and she said aggrievedly: "Grandpa naturally disagrees, he usually hates the Ninth Prince, how could he be willing to marry me to him? However, the Ninth Prince insisted, and the emperor listened to the Ninth Prince My grandfather can't do anything about it, the king's fate is hard to break."

Qu Ge sighed, and poured a glass of water for Zhu Xiaoxiao: "Then there is no room for change in this matter now?"

She looked at Ning Shiqian and said the second half of the sentence.

Ning Shiqian pursed his lips and remained silent.

When Zhu Xiaoxiao heard this, tears fell down like broken beads: "But I don't want to marry him, I already have someone in my heart."

When she said this, she looked at Ning Shiqian.

Seeing Ning Shiqian's expressionless face, she frowned slightly.

Then he continued: "Besides, he is like a life-threatening Yan Luo, bad and ruthless. Most importantly, grandpa said that the emperor will seize power sooner or later, and he will not end well at that time. I want to marry him , wouldn't you be buried with him?"

"Miss!" Seeing her unrestrained speech, Xiao Lian was terrified, and quickly pulled her sleeves.

But Zhu Xiaoxiao raised her arm and waved away: "What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here."

Xiao Lian was still very nervous, and looked back at the door.

"Master Ning." Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly reached out, wanting to grab Ning Shiqian's wrist.

Ning Shiqian lifted the cup to his lips, barely avoiding it without leaving a trace.

"Mr. Ning, you have saved the Ninth Prince's life, can you ask Mr. Ning to talk to the Ninth Prince?" Zhu Xiaoxiao looked intently.

Ning Shiqian took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "What did you say?"

"Talk about me, say bad things about me, say I'm not good enough for him, or..."

Zhu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment: "It is said that the young master has a relationship with me, and it has already been privately determined for life."

Several people in the room were startled.

"Miss." Xiaolian frowned worriedly.

If you say that, it's not good for your young lady's reputation.

Qu Ge's eyes were slightly cold, and the red lips under the veil were slightly pursed.

Ning Shiqian lowered his eyes, looked at the tea and noodles in the cup, and couldn't help but think of a few days ago, a woman also went to him in order to prevent Bai Jiuxiao from going out, saying that she had feelings for him.

"I can't help you with this matter." Ning Shiqian raised his eyes, "I once went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to intercede for a friend and ask for life-saving grace, but he refused."

Zhu Xiaoxiao slumped.

Qu Ge looked at the two of them, and was silent for a moment: "Miss Zhu, don't you see that Mr. Ning is less willing than you to see, are you marrying the Ninth Prince?"

Zhu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at Ning Shiqian.

is it?

Ning Shiqian glanced at Quge.

Qu Ge laughed again: "But with all due respect, Mr. Ning is just an actor, and he speaks lightly. How can he persuade a high-ranking person like the Ninth Prince?"

At the end, she changed the subject again: "However, the grand master is different. The grand master has a high position and great powers, so he will definitely find a way. As long as Miss Zhu is determined, I think the grand master will not let you go." That's how you got married."

Zhu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses: "Yes, grandpa, only grandpa can compete with him in today's big Zhao. Grandpa must help me find a way, he must have a way."

Before he finished speaking, the man got up and hurried out the door.

"Miss, slow down." Xiao Lian hurriedly chased after her.

Only Ning Shiqian and Quge were left in the room.

"You must not let Zhu Xiaoxiao marry Bai Jiuxiao, right?" Qu Ge sat down across from Ning Shiqian, flicking her skirt.

"In Dazhao, only Zhu Jin can deal with Bai Jiuxiao. Although he can't put Bai Jiuxiao to death, he can often cause him some trouble. Once the two families get married, this trouble will be gone. Isn't Bai Jiuxiao more unmanned?" Is it possible to fight?"

Ning Shiqian remained silent.

He also thought of these.

"Besides, what should we do now? Zhu Xiaoxiao will definitely not be able to invite you anymore. There is no more excuse. Why don't you keep coming here?"

Ning Shiqian stood up: "I will find a way."

Get out of the seat, ready to leave, then told Qu Ge: "Don't forget to send the pigeon to Sang Lin again."
