Chapter 591: Birthday Present

When Luo Yechen left, Xiao Xixi continued to eat watermelon happily.

Luo Qinghan said lightly.

"If the King of England really does what you said, he will definitely be beaten."

Xiao Xixi said while eating, "It's okay, he has a thick skin and a strong flesh, and is resistant to beating."

"Who is thick in skin and flesh?"

Xiao Xixi looked in the sound and saw a man wearing an indigo robe walking in.

The man is tall and has an ordinary appearance, and has a three-inch beard under his chin.

His appearance is very elegant, but his voice is very familiar.

Xiao Xixi heard it all at once and asked in surprise: "Money-losing guy, why did you become like this?"

Pei Qianhuo said with a dark face: "Don't ask me to lose money!"

Xiao Xixi ran over, reached out to pinch his face, and asked curiously.

"Did you use disguise? Let me see, how does this disguise work?"

Pei Qianhuo frowned when he saw her claws stained with watermelon juice, and immediately moved two steps to the side, disgusting the authenticity.

"I finally finished the makeup, don't touch me."

Xiao Xixi withdrew her paws in disappointment: "Stingy."

Pei Qianhuo bowed to the prince.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince."

Luo Qinghan had already eaten the watermelon. He picked up the veil, wiped his fingers slowly, and asked casually.

"Are you planning to enter the city when you dress like this?"

Pei Qianhuo: "Yes, I want to go into the city to find out the news and see what's happening with Qin Chong and King Xiling?"

Luo Qinghan: "Can you do it alone? Do you need a few people from the orphans to send you?"

Pei Qianhuo: "No, I'll do it alone."

Luo Qinghan guessed that he should have his own channel of inquiry, so he didn't ask too much, so he took out a stack of silver notes and put them on the table.

"The Gu is trapped in the imperial tomb now, and there is very limited place to help you. You can use this money first. If it is not enough, then tell me."

Pei Qianhuo smiled and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

He held the stack of silver notes with both hands, thinking that it would be comfortable to deal with smart people. He didn't need to say anything more, and the other party could guess what he was going to come.

He does have his own connections to find out the news, but it takes money to clear the connections and manage the relationships. There is not much money left after he brought from Xuanmen. The money given to him by the prince solved his urgent needs.

Xiao Xixi said, "When you come back, bring me some food."

Pei Qianhuo put the silver notes into his sleeve and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat tofu and Suxiangtang's snacks."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you when I come back."

...

Pei Qianhuo did not return to the imperial tomb until the afternoon of the next day.

He was carrying a large bag in his hand, not like he was going out to inquire about the news, but more like a street stall wholesaler.

He put the packages on the table and took them out one by one.

"This is the snack you want. In addition, I bought you small mohua and sesame candy. The tofu is not easy to pack, so I didn't buy it. I will take you to the city for a meal."

Xiao Xixi looked at the delicious food in front of her, sucked her saliva, and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

Pei Qianhuo took out two pieces of cloth and gestured at her twice.

"I took a walk to the cloth shop and saw that the colors of these two pieces of materials are very suitable for you. Do you like it? I will make two skirts for you. It will be your birthday in two days. This dress is just a birthday gift for you."

Xiao Xixi smiled and bent her eyes: "Thank you, senior brother!"

Pei Qianhuo bent his fingers and tapped her head gently.

"You always call me to pay money, and if you take it, you call me senior brother. You are really realistic."

Luo Qinghan was reading a book, but when he heard their conversation, he couldn't help but look up and look at Xiao Xixi.

“When is your birthday?”

Xiao Xixi: "The first day of June."

Luo Qinghan silently calculated that there were still nine days left.

He was a little dissatisfied. Even her senior brother knew about her birth date, but he knew nothing.

If Pei Qianhuo hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that her birthday was coming soon.

Luo Qinghan frowned: "Why didn't you tell me about it in advance?"

Xiao Xixi: "You didn't ask."

Luo Qinghan: "Then you should also remind me in advance."

Xiao Xixi actually didn't want to mention her birthday. After all, every birthday means that she is one step closer to death.

However, everyone was willing to celebrate her birthday out of kindness, and she didn't want to refuse.

Xiao Xixi asked with a smile: "Then now you know, what kind of birthday gift do you plan to give me?"

Luo Qinghan was about to speak.

Xiao Xixi quickly spoke first.

"Don't talk about it first! Please keep a little mystery and give me a gift on my birthday so that I can feel a surprise."

Pei Qianhuo tskated: "If I had known you would have a sense of surprise, I wouldn't have shown you these materials."

Xiao Xixi smiled and comforted her.

"It's okay, even if I see the material now, I haven't seen the finished product yet. You can wait for my birthday and then give me the prepared clothes, so you will still feel a surprise."

Pei Qianhuo was only satisfied.

Then he told the prince that he had inquired about the news.

"There are all replaced by several important official positions in the Imperial Guard, among which the Imperial Guard commander was replaced by General Zhongwu Xiao Lingfeng."

Xiao Xixi was surprised: "My father was promoted?"

Pei Qianhuo said with a smile: "Yes, although he has only been promoted from the fourth rank to the fourth rank, the position of commander of the Imperial Guard is a real official position. Many people can't grab this position even if they snatch it. Your father has taken a big advantage this time."

Xiao Xixi: "Since it is such an important official position, why should the emperor give it to my father? Wouldn't it be better to give it to his own confidant?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly.

"The father did this, on the surface, to show kindness to me, but in fact, to test me."

Xiao Xixi became more and more confused: "Test?"

Luo Qinghan said slowly without any speed.

"My father is very suspicious and has always been wary of me.

When his father was assassinated on the Dragon Boat Festival, he should have listed me as one of the suspects in his heart.

After all, as long as he dies, I can naturally inherit the throne.

My motive for murder is really sufficient.

Unfortunately, he had no evidence and could not catch me.

And I am in the imperial tomb, so it is inconvenient for him to hit me.

So he took the initiative to give out a piece of fat to test my attitude.

The commander of the Imperial Guards is that piece of fat.

The Imperial Guards are related to the personal safety of the father. As long as General Xiao makes a little move, he can conquer his father's life safety.

If I really have bad intentions towards him, I will definitely not miss this great opportunity.

Once I take action, my father will be able to catch him.

When the time comes, people will get the stolen goods and the ones waiting for me will be doomed."

Xiao Xixi felt cold in her heart when she heard this.
