Chapter 591 I Can't Sleep

Bu Shengyan wanted to say that she would not marry, but after hesitating, she didn't say it out loud.

She looked at her father's graying temples, but ultimately she couldn't harden her heart and make even the slightest concession.

"I'll bring you some wine when I come back."

Marquis Dingbei immediately became happy.

"Okay, okay, it's settled. When are you going out?"

Bu Shengyan glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late today. Let's go out tomorrow morning."

There are several rooms in Jingxin Garden. Usually, Xiao Xixi and the prince live in the largest bedroom, but in recent days, the prince has been locking himself in another small room.

Xiao Xixi wanted to go in and see what he was doing several times, but he refused every time.

The more he did this, the more curious Xiao Xixi became.

She leaned against the door and tried to look inside through the crack.

Unfortunately, the workmanship of the door was too good, and the gaps were tightly closed, so you couldn't see what was inside the house at all.

Xiao Xixi looked for a long time but didn't see anything, and was very disappointed.

She shouted into the house.

"Your Highness, it's time for lunch!"

After a moment, the door was opened by Luo Qinghan.

Xiao Xixi took the opportunity to look inside the house, but was blocked by Luo Qinghan's body.

He pushed Xiao Xixi back, stepped over the threshold, and then closed the door with a bang.

Not only did he close the door, he also locked it.

Xiao Xixi looked at the copper lock hanging on the door. Her curiosity was like a cat's paw, scratching her heart and lungs constantly.

She asked eagerly, "What treasure did your Highness hide in the house?"

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You will know when the time comes."

Xiao Xixi: "Couldn't you give me a heads up?"

Luo Qinghan: "No."

"Stingy."

Luo Qinghan turned a deaf ear to her complaints.

Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In the past, people in the palace could have ice basins to cool off, but there is no ice cellar in the imperial mausoleum, so it is impossible to produce ice in large quantities, and naturally ice basins cannot be made.

After lunch, both of them were sweating a lot.

Luo Qinghan has a mild mysophobia and can't stand the smell of sweat on his body.

He immediately took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went back to the small room.

Xiao Xixi took a nap and when she woke up, she felt her back was sticky and covered in sweat.

Taking a bath is not very convenient these days. She didn't want to bother with it, so she just sat by the window, fanning herself with a round fan in her hand, relying on the little bit of wind to cool herself down.

Pei Qianhuo came to see her.

"This is a new dress I made for you. Try it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll alter it for you right now."

Xiao Xixi touched the material of the clothes. It was soft and smooth, much lighter and thinner than the clothes she was wearing. It must be cooler to wear.

She immediately went behind the screen with the clothes in her arms.

The new clothes feel cool and smooth, and are really comfortable.

Xiao Xixi straightened his collar and walked out around the screen.

She spread her arms and turned around in place to show Pei Qianhuo how the clothes looked on her body.

Because they were summer clothes, Pei Qianhuo deliberately made the style of the clothes simpler, without too many patterns. The colors were also refreshing light blue and moon white. When worn on Xiao Xixi, her skin looked even more porcelain white and delicate, with a kind of natural and lively beauty.

Pei Qianhuo looked around and made sure that the size of the clothes was correct, then he asked her to try another set of clothes.

The other dress is mint green, and when paired with light apricot white, it looks refreshing and gentle.

When Xiao Xixi wears it, she looks like a cute and obedient girl next door. The shallow dimples on her lips when she smiles make her even more lovable.

Pei Qianhuo took out another satin brocade box as if by magic.

Open the brocade box and you will find some jewelry inside.

"I picked these specially for you. They match the clothes you are wearing."

He has done this kind of thing many times before.

When he was in the mountains, he loved to make clothes for his junior sister when he had nothing to do. Every time he made new clothes for her, he would also match them with a complete set of jewelry for her.

He seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and all kinds of clothes must be matched with corresponding jewelry and makeup.

If the combination is not good, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, his aesthetic level has always been online, so Xiao Xixi just let him do what he wants.

She silently told herself to just think of it as playing Miracle Nikki with her third senior brother.

Xiao Xixi tried on the jewelry one by one in front of him. After he was sure that the clothes and jewelry matched well, he said with satisfaction.

"Here are all the birthday presents. Tomorrow is your birthday. You can wear them and have a beautiful birthday."

Xiao Xixi rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

Pei Qianhuo curled his lips and chuckled: "What do you think would happen if the prince suddenly walked in at this time?"

Xiao Xixi quickly retracted her claws and took two steps back, then turned her head to look towards the door and windows.

Fortunately, there was no one outside the doors and windows, and the prince was not seen.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Qianhuo smiled even more when he saw this: "Are you so worried about being seen by the prince?"

Xiao Xixi picked up the round fan, fanned herself vigorously a few times, and muttered to herself.

"You don't know how petty the prince is. If he sees me hugging you, he will definitely get angry again. Once he gets angry, I will have to do everything I can to cheer him up."

"I saw that you got along well with him. I thought you planned to live with him for the rest of your life."

Xiao Xixi sighed: "A lifetime is too long. I am just living one day at a time now. I will talk about the future later."

Pei Qianhuo touched her head and said, "How old are you? Why do you look so old? Cheer up and smile for me."

Xiao Xixi bared her teeth at him.

As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped.

Xiao Xixi sat under the porch to enjoy the cool air.

She could turn her head and see the faint candlelight coming from the next room.

The prince is still in the small room. I wonder what he is doing?

Seeing that the time was getting later and the prince showed no sign of coming out, Xiao Xixi took the initiative to knock on the door.

"Your Highness, it's time to go to bed."

Luo Qinghan's voice came through the door: "You should go to bed first. I'm almost done with my work."

Xiao Xixi returned to the bedroom alone.

She sat on the bed, in a daze for a while, then got up and walked out, leaning against the door of the small room next door and muttering.

"Your Highness, I can't sleep."

After a moment, the door was opened. Luo Qinghan looked at Xiao Xixi standing outside the door and asked with a frown.

"Why can't you sleep?"

Xiao Xixi said pitifully, "I'm so curious that I can't sleep. If you don't let me take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night."

Luo Qinghan sighed, obviously there was nothing he could do to her.

He turned sideways and said, "Come in."

Xiao Xixi immediately burst into laughter and ran into the house happily.

Hehe, please give me a monthly ticket~~
