"Okay!" The waiter responded with a smile, made a gesture of "please come in" towards Ye Qiqi, and led the way: "Sir, please come with me."
Ye Qiqi nodded and followed him.
This window seat was where she often sat when she secretly came out of the palace several times before.
Next to it is the storyteller's table in the restaurant. There will be many people around who are listening to the book and chatting about the gossip that happened in the capital.
Ye Qiqi likes to sit in that position and listen to the random chatter of the people around her.
But today, when she followed the waiter to the table by the window, a white figure came over from the other direction.
The two people sat on both sides of the table almost at the same time.
"This..." The waiter looked at the situation in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ye Qiqi raised her head and looked at the beautiful face sitting opposite her. She was slightly startled, and then said in surprise: "Is it you!?"
Bai Xinglan held a folding fan and looked at the cute little girl in front of him with a pair of warm eyes. The expression on his face was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he asked in a gentle voice: "Do you know this girl...?"
"Uh..." Ye Qiqi then remembered that he was now dressed as a woman, and Bai Xinglan should know Mo Xiaoqi, who was a guard in Prince Jing'an's palace.
So she quickly shook her head and denied it: "No, I don't know you."
"Oh?" Bai Xinglan looked at the little girl in front of him with great interest.
She looked to be no more than ten years old. Her small, crystal-white face looked even more rosy and cute against the backdrop of her light pink clothes. Her smart, clear eyes looked familiar for some reason.
Bai Xinglan stared at Ye Qiqi's face carefully for a long time, and finally remembered that he seemed to have seen these eyes in Prince Jing'an's palace.
He had already doubted whether the little guard was disguised as a man. When he saw her today, it seemed that the little girl in front of him was the little guard.
Ye Qiqi felt a little guilty when he saw him, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "What are you looking at? I sat here first!"
"Really." Bai Xinglan smiled at her and said in a low and unhurried voice, "But I remember that we should have sat down at the same time just now."
"This..." Ye Qiqi twitched the corner of his mouth and said bravely: "No, I was just a little faster than you!"
Bai Xinglan smiled, but did not continue to discuss this issue with her. Instead, he stared at her big black and white eyes and said in a gentle voice: "Little girl, I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Ye Qiqi was suddenly shocked, quickly lowered his head, looked at the table and said in a weak voice: "How is that possible? Today is my first time in the capital!"
After saying this, Ye Qiqi turned to the waiter and said: "Go, pour me a cup of tea first."
"Hey... Okay, sir, would you like to sit with this guest first?" The waiter responded hurriedly, but looked at Ye Qiqi and Bai Xinglan with a trace of doubt in their eyes.
"Well, let's sit together." Bai Xinglan smiled slightly and said to the waiter: "Give me all the signature dishes in your store."
