Chapter 589 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 say, he will definitely be beaten."

Xiao Xixi said while eating: "It's okay, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned anyway, so he can be beaten."

"Who is rough-skinned and thick-skinned?"

Xiao Xixi followed the reputation and saw a man in an indigo robe walking in.

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

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

Xiao Xixi heard it all at once, and asked in surprise, "You lose money, how did you become like this?"

Pei Qianhu said with a dark face, "Don't tell me to lose money!"

Xiao Xixi ran over, reaching out to squeeze his face, and asked curiously.

"Have you used the disguise technique? Let me see how this disguise technique works?"

Seeing her claws dipped in watermelon juice, Pei Qianhu frowned, and immediately took two steps to the side, disgusting the authentic.

"I finally got my makeup done, don't touch me."

Xiao Xixi withdrew his paws angrily: "Stingy."

Pei Qianhu bowed his hands to the prince.

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

Luo Qinghan had finished eating the watermelon, he picked up the veil, wiped his fingers slowly, and asked casually.

"You dressed like this, are you going to enter the city?"

Pei Qianhuo: "Yes, I want to go into the city to inquire about the news and see what's going on with Qin Zhong and King Xiling?"

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

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

Luo Qinghan guessed that he should have his own way of listening, so he didn't ask any more questions, he took out a stack of silver notes and put them on the table.

"Gu is now trapped in the imperial mausoleum, and there are very few places that can help you. You can use the money first, and tell Gu if it is not enough."

Pei Qianhuo laughed and said sincerely, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for being sympathetic."

He took the stack of silver bills in both hands, thinking that it would be comfortable to deal with smart people, and he didn't need to say anything, the other party could guess his intention.

He does have his own contacts to listen to news, but it takes money to clear the contacts and manage relationships. There is not much money left from the money he brought from Xuanmen. The money the prince gave him can be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs.

Xiao Xixi said, "Bring me something to eat by the way when you come back."

Pei Qianhu put the silver note in his sleeve and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat bean curd and snacks from Suxiangtang."

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

...

Pei Qianhu didn't return to the imperial mausoleum until the next afternoon.

He was carrying a large bag and a small bag in his hand. He didn't look like he was going out to inquire about the news, but more like a wholesaler on the street.

He put the packages on the table and took them out the same way.

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

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

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

"I stopped by to visit the cloth village, and saw that the color of these two pieces of material is very suitable for you. Do you like it? I will make two skirts for you. It happens to be your birthday in two days. This dress will be As your birthday present."

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

Pei Qianhu bent his fingers and tapped her head gently.

"Usually, you always call me to lose money. If you take advantage of it, call me senior brother. You are really realistic."

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

"When is your birthday?"

Xiao Xixi: "The first day of June."

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

He was a little dissatisfied. Even her brother knew her birthday, but he didn't know anything.

If it wasn't for Pei Qianhu suddenly mentioning it, he wouldn't even know that her birthday was approaching.

Luo Qinghan frowned: "Why didn't you tell Gu in advance?"

Xiao Xixi: "You didn't ask."

Luo Qinghan: "Then you should remind yourself in advance."

In fact, Xiao Xixi didn't really want to mention her birthday. After all, every birthday meant that she was 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: "Now that you know, what kind of birthday present do you plan to give me?"

Luo Qinghan was about to speak.

Xiao Xixi said quickly.

"Don't talk about it yet! Please keep a little mystery, and give me a gift on my birthday, so that I can have a feeling of surprise."

Pei Qianhu tutted: "If I knew you wanted to be pleasantly surprised, I wouldn't show you these materials."

Xiao Xixi smiled and comforted.

"It's okay, even if I see the material now, I haven't seen the finished product. You can wait for my birthday and bring me the finished clothes, and you will still be pleasantly surprised."

Only then did Pei Qianhu feel satisfied.

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

"Several important positions in the Praetorian Guards have all been replaced. Among them, the commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guards has been taken over by Zhongwu General Xiao Lingfeng."

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

Pei Qianhu said with a smile but not a smile: "Yes, although it was only promoted from the fourth rank to the regular fourth rank, the position of commander of the Imperial Guard is an official position with real power. It was a great bargain in return."

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

Luo Qinghan said lightly.

"Father did this, on the surface, he wanted to show his favor to me, but he actually wanted to test me."

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

Luo Qinghan said calmly.

"Royal father is very suspicious and has always been on guard against me.

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

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

My motive for killing is just too good.

It's a pity that he has no evidence and can't catch my handle.

And I was in the imperial mausoleum, so it was inconvenient for him to beat me.

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

The position of commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guards is that piece of fat.

The Royal Guards are related to the personal safety of the father. As long as General Xiao moves a little from it, he can endanger the life of the father.

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

Once I make a move, the father will be able to catch it straight.

When the time comes, the stolen goods will be recovered, and what is waiting for me will be eternal. "

Xiao Xixi felt a chill in her heart.

Obviously they are biological father and son, but there is no warmth between the two.
