Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Chapter 2
Seeing someone coming in, Bai Jiuxiao cupped his fists at the man and said goodbye.

The days to come are long, don't be in a hurry, today she came here in a hurry, her hair was disheveled and she was only wearing her middle coat.

Take care of it next time and come again.

Anyway, knowing that he was working in this pear garden, he couldn't run away.

When Xue Gui, the head of the Liyuan, came in, Bai Jiuxiao happened to be going out, and the two had a superficial meeting.

Glancing at the back of Bai Jiuxiao striding away, Xue Gui turned around and asked Ning Shiqian, "Your acquaintance?"

"I don't know." Ning Shiqian's voice was dull.

Xue Gui raised his eyebrows slightly. Generally speaking, those who came to see the show knew that they couldn't enter the backstage casually: "Then she."

"It's said that she came to find her lover, so she must have been stimulated by emotional trauma. It's obvious that something is abnormal here." Ning Shiqian pointed to his head.

Only then did Xue Gui's expression relax.

Ning Shiqian glanced at the door, saw that there was no one there, and asked Xue Gui, "Bai Jiuxiao has returned to court, right? Did you see Eleven?"

Xue Gui knew that the eleven in his mouth referred to his younger brother Ning Qingzhou, the eleventh prince of Sang Linguo, who was brought to Da Zhao by Da Zhao's commander Bai Jiuxiao as a hostage this time.

Ning Shiqian is the fourth prince of Sanglin Kingdom. Emperor Sanglin sent him here this time to secretly protect Ning Qingzhou's safety, and to keep an eye on Da Zhao's military movements by the way.

And Niannan Liyuan was Sang Linguo's intelligence base in Dazhao, so Ning Shiqian settled here with him.

"Back to the fourth son, I saw that the eleventh prince was sitting in the carriage, and kept looking out curiously with the hood lifted. What is certain is that he is in a good mood. People are free, and their hands and feet are definitely not bound."

Ning Shiqian let out a "hmm".

"By the way," Xue Gui remembered something, "I heard from Shi Lei that the young master plans to perform on stage tomorrow?"

Shi Lei is Ning Shiqian's personal attendant.

Ning Shiqian gave another "hmm".

Only in this way can he stay in this pear garden justifiably and hide his identity well.

The next day, Ning Shiqian came on stage.

Because singing is just a pretext, his mind is not here, and it is the first time for a newcomer to be on stage, so the class leader only arranged for him a role of Wen Tangxing, which is a secondary role.

But as soon as he came on stage, he realized that something was wrong. The morning show, which had never been more than half of the seats, was full. When he appeared, there was thunderous applause.

Although it was inexplicable, he didn't think about it too much. He didn't think these people would come for a rookie role.

Until he raised his eyes and saw the woman sitting in the private seat with an inelegant posture.

Different from yesterday's slovenly appearance, today she is wearing a half-length double-breasted skirt, although it is also very plain apricot color, but it is much more glamorous than yesterday, and she also has a simple double ring bun on her head.

He just leaned back on the Eight Immortals Chair, with his elbows resting leisurely on the armrests on both sides, his legs spread far apart, without any feminine restraint at all.

Ning Shiqian turned his gaze away, as if he didn't see her, and didn't give her a second look.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't care, and concentrated on admiring his beauty, figure and temperament.

She doesn't understand opera or something, and she doesn't want to listen to it. She mainly reads people.

Because it was a secondary role, Ning Shiqian ended up not long after.

Bai Jiuxiao raised his hand to call the waiter's waiter: "What are you doing here to cheer?"

"Back to the girl, you can give a reward, you can send a flower basket."

Bai Jiuxiao threw a piece of gold leaf to him: "Then give a reward."

Xiaoer's eyes lit up when he saw Jin Yezi: "I don't know if the girl is going to reward Mr. Shi or Miss Mu?"

These two were the protagonists of the morning scene.

"It's just the boy who played the servant boy who just left the stage." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Xiao Er was dumbfounded.

The boy didn't say a word or make any moves, so he just raised a flag and stood quietly on the field for a while, rewarding him?

"I got it." Xiao Er took the gold leaf and went to the backstage.

Xiao Er was so surprised, and the person involved was not too moved, and would definitely come to thank him.

Bai Jiuxiao picked up his cup and took a sip of tea, thinking so.

Not long after, Xiaoer came back.

Bai Jiuxiao glanced behind him, but there was no one else.

"The fourth son asked the younger one to thank the girl for his favor, but the fourth master said that he can't accept this reward." Xiao Er handed the golden leaf back to Bai Jiuxiao.

"What? Too little?" Her long-standing status as a superior made her very unaccustomed to being rejected.

"No, it's too much." Xiaoer replied.

It must be too much, he has been in this pear orchard for many years, and he has never seen someone with such a whole piece of gold leaf in his hand, or rewarded as a trick, who would dare to accept it?
Bai Jiuxiao was stunned, because she didn't understand the market.

Then he took the gold leaf, broke it hard, broke the gold leaf in half, and handed back half to Xiaoer: "Then reward these."

Xiao Er was dumbfounded, this Strong Woman.

After receiving half of the gold leaf, Xiao Er went backstage again.

Not long after, came back again.

Not only did he not accept the half of the gold leaf this time, but he also brought her a playbook.

"The fourth son said that he appreciated the girl's kindness, but he would not be rewarded for nothing. In addition, the son asked the younger one to give the playbook to the girl. The son said, I hope the girl will take a good look at it." .”

Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows and sat up.

Not greedy for money, not vain, but she can match her.

Most importantly, he even gave her a book, saying that he didn't care about her, he didn't believe it himself.

"Okay, please tell your son, I will definitely read it carefully." Bai Jiuxiao happily took the gold leaf and the script.

Backstage.

Shi Lei helped Ning Shiqian change his costume, and after thinking about it, he still asked out his doubts.

"Young Master, didn't you say that you only met the girl who gave the reward once, so why did you give the play to her?"

Ning Shiqian took his own robe and put it on, his face expressionless: "She was hurt emotionally, she was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself, the symptoms of demonic stupor were worse than yesterday."

Yesterday was just nonsense, but today I have completely indulged myself.

Sitting there like a dude.

She is so poor that she doesn't have a single piece of jewelry from head to toe, and she still spends money like water, booking venues and giving rewards.

"Sentimental injury? This is love at first sight for the young master?" Shi Lei laughed, not surprising.

After all, the prince of his family is as rich as jade, noble and handsome. Wherever he goes, all the women's eyes are on him. It's just that the prince of his family is cold by nature and doesn't care about these things.

"No." Ning Shiqian said calmly.

He just happened to be the object of her unlucky misfortune.

"The young master gave her the play." Shi Lei still couldn't understand.

"The gift is "The Legend of Xi Ran." Ning Shiqian didn't say much.

Shi Lei reacted for a long time before realizing it.

"The Legend of Xi Ran" tells the story of a young girl Xi Ran who was betrayed by her lover, from heartbreak, sinking, madness to overcoming her demons, stepping out and being born in the sun.

So, this is to persuade people to look forward and get out of the haze.

It's just that his prince has never been a kind person, let alone meddling in other people's business, would he be so kind?
Shi Lei couldn't help looking at Ning Shiqian again.
