Chapter 160 The difference between men and women
Su Yan was stunned at the gate of the hall, then turned to look at Xiao Huai.It happened that Xiao Huai looked over from behind the case, he paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "Miss Shen is here."

Xiao Huai stopped the pen he was handling with his fingertips, got up and walked to the window.

Sure enough, she saw Shen Xi standing under the palace gate at the other end of the courtyard, with a few strands of hair on her forehead that had been dyed wet, clinging to her skin, and her cheeks were also pink due to the heat, looking like a plain peach blossom.

He turned around and sat down, holding the pot and making another cup of tea.

Su Yan understood, walked to the other side of the courtyard and said, "Miss Shen, please sit in the hall."

Shen Xi didn't expect Song Jiao to be here, and was really taken aback. Could it be that Xiao Huai came back to Ziyao Palace because of her?
But she didn't have time to delve into it, so she quickly came back to her senses, gave Song Jiao half a salute, and quickly followed Su Yan into the hall.

Song Jiao watched Su Yan's attitude towards her from beginning to end, but her teeth clenched again.

When Shen Xi entered the hall, he saw Xiao Huai who was sitting cross-legged behind the desk drinking tea, and then walked over and knelt down at his side: "Your Majesty."

Xiao Huai didn't speak, just tapped on the desk in front of another cup of tea.

This brown color seems to be very suitable for drinking, Shen Xi appreciated his kindness, but she didn't come to drink tea.

Holding the cup in her hand, she said, "Isn't the prince going to escort you at the Qianqing Palace? Why did you come back early?"

She tried to keep her tone as natural as possible. This person is as smart as a ghost, so it's best not to let him see anything.

When Xiao Huai heard this, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at her face: "How do you know I'm here?"

Shen Xi couldn't say that she had sent Pearl and the others to guard there all the time, so he had no choice but to say cheekily: "I was idle and bored just now, and wanted to go to Qianqing Palace to find the crown prince to guide me around.

"I didn't expect them to say that the prince came back here, so they followed him to find it. Prince, do you still want to go back to Qianqing Palace?"

Xiao Huai stroked his chin with his hands and didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After thinking about it for a while, he sipped his tea slowly and said, "Of course I'm going."

Shen Xi endured the anxiety in his heart and said, "Then if you don't have any urgent matters right now, do you want to go there now?"

Seeing him come over again after speaking, she quickly grinned again, and continued: "I mean, if you can finish your job earlier, I'll trouble you to take me for a stroll earlier."

Xiao Huai stared at her for a while, then said: "You and I are different from men and women, how can I take you there in public."

Shen Xi wanted to vomit blood.

It didn't look like he refused to take her outside Kunning Palace before!
But time couldn't be delayed, so she endured it, and had to slow down her tone: "The world is full of dragons and phoenixes, how can we compare with the appearance of Pu Liu? Even if other people see it, it is impossible for others to distract you and me. .”

Can't be compared?

He leaned on the table with one elbow, his face suddenly darkened: "I won't go."

Shen Xi paused.

She really can't figure out his veins!But she doesn't want to procrastinate any longer, who knows what's going on in Qianqing Palace?She didn't want to lose a compatriot's life in vain!

She pinched the palm of her hand with her fingernails, and suddenly saw the fruit plate in front of him, so she broke her heart.Doesn't he just like to see people subdued?

She picked up a fresh fruit with a silver fork, stretched it out and handed it to him: "Your Majesty, use some melons and fruits to relieve the heat."

The fresh fruit landed on Xiao Huai's chest.

He lowered his eyes and looked, the bare hands were white and smooth, and there was a faint fragrance coming from them.

Seeing that he wasn't moving, Shen Xi couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly, shouldn't he be fed by her?

But looking at him like this, I'm afraid he really thinks so...

After a pause for a while, she endured and endured, and finally put her hand to his mouth again.

Her fragrance was even stronger in the nostrils, and she could even smell her hot breath.

Xiao Huai's face was calm, but his heart was full of spring breeze.He reached out and took it: "You are so eager to persuade me to go back, is there something else?"

Shen Xi pinched his hands and murmured, "You can't hide anything from your son. I just thought that maybe the family ancestor would like to toast to your son right now.

"Thanks to the care of the son, the ancestor was rewarded by the emperor, and the son was invited to come to show him face."

Xiao Huai stared at her for a long while, finally brushed off his robe and stood up, eating the piece of fruit and said: "Let's go."

Shen Xi quickly stood up.

When they got outside the door, they saw Song Jiao still standing there.

Xiao Huai passed by the courtyard, stopped and said to the guards: "Take Miss Song to the Qing Palace, let's ask Elder Han Ge about Zhezi."

Song Jiao didn't recruit, he had plenty of ways to torture her.

He knew what she was thinking, no matter whether it was true or not that the eunuch asked him to hand over the paperwork, he didn't want to waste any more time right now.

Song Jiao, who was escorted to follow, stared at Shen Xi who was beside him, the resentment was removed from his eyes, and there was also hatred.

Although she didn't know what the relationship between Shen Xi and Xiao Huai was, it was a fact that Xiao Huai's attitude towards Shen Xi was obviously better than hers!

And she, a pampered cousin girl in the majestic chief minister's mansion, is not as respected as a third-rank official lady in front of him. This is undoubtedly more humiliating than Xiao Huai's punishing her!
Shen Xi looked back at Song Jiao whose face was getting colder, and frowned secretly.

She didn't know why Song Jiao was hostile to her at this time, but everyone was clear in their hearts. She appeared here, presumably it had something to do with Xiao Huai.

She had no intention of causing any inexplicable disaster because of Xiao Huai, so she consciously retreated behind her and the guards, keeping a considerable distance from Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai, who was walking at the front, didn't notice the undercurrent behind him, and was striding towards the Qianqing Palace.

Shen Xi followed step by step at the end of the team. Although it was a little difficult, he managed to keep up.

When I got to the verandah, I saw the eunuchs and court ladies looked calm and behaved calmly, and my heart was half relieved.Hearing the endless chatter and laughter in the hall, the other half of his heart was also relieved.

But just when she arrived at the palace gate, before she could meet Shen Yan who had already walked over, at this moment, there was a sudden scream in the palace!
"Help!"

"There are assassins! Hurry up and escort them!"

The sharp and hasty voice directly cut through the comfort of this corridor!
All of a sudden, there were screams and shouts in the hall, and the happy and peaceful hall just now became chaotic in the blink of an eye!
Xiao Huai suddenly handed Shen Xi a scroll to Su Yan, and then flew into the palace!

Shen Xi, who was quickly surrounded by purple-clothed guards, raised his heart to his throat, as if it could burst out from his throat at any time!

The moment is finally here!She is still late? !

The palace people in front of them screamed and rushed out, while the cry of children came from the palace!

A voice shouted urgently and anxiously: "The emperor is not afraid! ——Hurry up and protect the emperor!"

Immediately afterwards, there were many comforting voices, among them were even those that Shen Xi had become familiar with recently!

"It's the old man inside!"

Shen Yan squeezed beside her, her little face was as white as paper.

Shen Xi grabbed her hand tightly and dragged her to his side. Looking at Song Jiao beside him, he had already been escorted to the palace gate by the palace guards.
