Chapter 112： : Celebrating Qing Bao’s birthday

"By the way, Uncle Wang, I want to get Qing Bao a big colored glaze ball. Look, here is the blueprint. The glaze ball should be transparent and flawless. It should be hollow inside. Build a rockery inside and put some fake fish. Son, fill it with water..."

Shen Yizhi explained to him the structure of the glass ball, and Wang Qantang listened and asked a few questions from time to time.

“Well, this thing can be done, it only takes a few days.”

"Well, I'll come and get it then. By the way, Uncle Wang, Qing Bao's birthday will be in three days. If you are free then, come and have a meal with Xiao Bin."

"Okay, I will definitely go there then. Liuli Qiu, you don't have to make a trip, I will just take him there."

"OK."

Shen Yizhi took Qing Bao away and bought some things for Qing Bao's birthday party before heading back home.

For this birthday party, she plans to use a buffet style, placing the food on a long table for guests to help themselves.

Although there are still three days, she has to prepare in advance.

Not to mention anything else, just a big birthday cake would take her nearly a day.

Fortunately, she had enough manpower on her side. Ganwu, Kunsan, Li Chuntao, and Han Baoluo shared a lot of work, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.

The imperial capital, Prince Chen’s Mansion.

Gu Xueting rode his horse Binghe out of the city gate early in the morning and headed for the outskirts of Beijing.

Binghe is a rare divine horse. He is as fast as the wind and as fast as thunder. He can reach several miles away in a short time.

The puppet bird is parked in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, where there is a special place for taking off.

After all, the puppet bird is too huge. If it takes off openly in the imperial capital, it will definitely attract attention.

Moreover, the entire imperial capital has set up formations to prohibit flying in the sky.

Sitting on the horse, Gu Xueting suddenly sensed an extreme danger approaching at a certain moment.

That was an arrow shot from nowhere.

What’s surprising is that after the arrow was shot, it suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already on Gu Xueting's chest!

It was as if the space had been broken directly, and the speed was so fast that people were caught off guard.

When the arrow broke through the outermost layer of clothing, Gu Xueting's hand was like lightning and he held the arrow tightly.

However, the strength bonus brought by the extreme speed made the arrow unstoppable, spinning rapidly in his palm, drilling into his heart like an electric drill.

Gu Xueting's actions could only delay the fierce offensive slightly, but he couldn't avoid it at all.

With a "boom", Gu Xueting was sent flying by the arrow and hit hard against a big tree on the side of the road.

He held the arrow in his hand, and bright red blood flowed from his palm. At the same time, there was blood flowing down from the corner of his mouth.

He leaned against the tree trunk, motionless, as if he was dead.

A group of men in black robes with evil ghost masks suddenly appeared, holding crescent knives in their hands, surrounding him in a fan shape, and slowly approached.

Seeing that he was motionless and breathless, he seemed to be dead.

The man in the middle stepped forward and lifted his chin with a knife to confirm whether he was really dead.

At this moment, Gu Xueting suddenly opened his eyes. It was like an abyss opening, like the night sky pressing down, like a great terror coming. The man in black robe was frightened and wanted to retreat, but unfortunately it was too late.

Gu Xueting suddenly pulled out the arrow that almost pierced his heart and threw it out.

The arrow instantly penetrated the body of the man in black robe in front of him.

However, after passing through, it did not stop. Instead, it was like a black meteor, tracing a semicircular trajectory in mid-air.

Passed through the bodies of those black-robed men and took away their vitality.

Gu Xueting stood up and raised his hand to catch the arrow, but was cut off by a man in blood-robed clothes who suddenly appeared.

The face of the man in blood robe also wears an evil ghost mask, but it is the same color as the robe, as red as blood, as if blood will flow down at any time.

“I knew you weren’t that easy to kill.”

The voice of the man in blood came out from behind the mask. It sounded a little distorted, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female.

He took a step closer and said leisurely: "Your Highness, King Chen, do you know how much your life is worth?"

Gu Xueting asked calmly: "How much?"

"Three hundred spirit stones. If it weren't for the sake of these three hundred spirit stones, I wouldn't want to do this kind of thing. Why don't you choose to commit suicide? If I do it, you may be in pain."

Without even moving an eyebrow, Gu Xueting took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill and swallowed it.

Feeling the gentle yet powerful medicinal power dissolving in his body, he inevitably thought of Shen Yizhi.

At this time, she should be preparing for Qing Bao's birthday, right?

Chuckled lightly: "There are so many nonsense words, are you afraid?"

The man in blood robe was silent for a while, "Since you are so eager to die, then I will help you."

“Baby, today is your birthday, we have to dress up handsomely and dazzle others.”

Shen Yizhi took out the clothes that he had prepared for Qing Bao and put them on for him.

It was already mid-June and the weather was getting hot, so the clothes she prepared for him were cooler.

The upper body is an ice blue gown, sleeveless, with two chubby little lotus-like arms exposed.

Shen Yizhi was greedy, so he grabbed it and took several sips.

Underneath is a pair of fluffy red bell-bottom pants, and sandals carefully woven with bamboo silk on her feet, revealing her round and cute little feet.

Qing Bao turned around twice in front of the mirror and grinned.

Shen Yizhi was amused by his small appearance.

“Let’s go, little birthday girl, let’s go down and eat longevity noodles.”

Shen Yizhi served the longevity noodles made for Qing Bao to the table.

He is now more proficient with chopsticks and can pick up the noodles by himself and eat them without her having to cut them off for him like before.

A large bowl of longevity noodles with a plump poached egg on top. Qing Bao ate it all, and even drank the noodle soup.

After eating, I patted my bulging belly with satisfaction.

She slid down from the chair and said, "Mom, I'm going to play."

"Well, go ahead, be careful." Shen Yizhi watched him running outside happily, feeling a sense of melancholy and bitterness in his heart.

One day, her little cubs will grow up completely and break away from her.

So now she has to cherish the time when he has not grown up even more.

The banquet was held in the open space outside the courtyard.

The ground is very flat, with soft grass on both sides, and flowers and trees occasionally planted on the grass.

This season is when gardenias are in full bloom. The white and tender gardenias are hidden among the green branches and leaves, exuding a fragrant fragrance.

Long tables covered with tablecloths are placed in an orderly manner on the grass. Cooked dishes and snacks are placed on the tables one after another, and more of them are fresh and sweet fruits.

Watermelon, melon, grapes, lychee, etc., cut into pieces and placed on the plate, as well as ice bowls of various flavors.
