Chapter 178 Spring Tide Boundless
"Moon-white fluorescent beads!" She took it out and held it in her palm, her eyes were as bright as stars.

"This is the bead that was inlaid in the jade Ruyi in the bedroom by the Emperor Qin in the past! Such a big bead should be no less than 8000 taels of silver!"

The pearl light reflected her facial features, making her look more lively and bright.

"Is it going to be sold on the cabinet?" She asked.

Xiao Huai looked at her from a distance of one foot, his eyes were as gentle as water in this closed space.

"Not for sale." He lowered his eyes to cover the tenderness, and said lightly, "Don't you want a reward? This is the reward."

Helian people are so pedantic, if he said to give it to her, she would definitely not accept it, right?
Sure enough, Shen Xi put it back on the table: "It's too expensive."

Xiao Huai stopped his fan, and his face darkened: "You performed well in the schoolyard yesterday, and you gave me a face. And for the sake of the few months you have worked for the shop, there are still decades to come. If you add up the wages of seven or eight, this should be a reward for you!"

I've never seen something rewarded but not rewarded!

Shen Xi didn't refuse after listening to him.

That being said, that's pretty much it.She is not worth more than a pearl.

There are thousands of taels of things, and they can be saved in an emergency when the water is at the end of the mountain.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the bead again: "Then thank you for your reward!"

Xiao Huai didn't say anything.She leaned slightly, put the fan on, and helped her stuff the beads into her purse in a slightly motherly way: "Take it with you, and use it as a torch."

He leaned close in front of her, pressed his forehead on top of hers, his slightly hoarse voice sounded warm and friendly, the man's breath floated in his nostrils, Shen Xi's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and his movements became clumsy.

"I can do it myself," she said.

Xiao Huai didn't force it either, seeing her drooping face and mouth tied, he felt mixed feelings.

In the past, others racked their brains to give him things, but now it's the other way around, and he has to find all kinds of excuses to cover up every time he sends something to express his heart.

But what can I do?
The strange feeling in Shen Xi's heart has not disappeared yet.

When he is fierce, he can scare people to death, but when he is healthy, he has no deterrent power at all.

Now he is only a foot away from her, but she just doesn't feel afraid, so sometimes, she can't even tell whether he is still a threat to her.

"Shizi..." She raised her head, her gaze was right in his pupil.

Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows.The spring tide is surging in my heart, but there is no wave in the calm sea on my face.

She didn't know what to say.Maybe it's because it's easy to say?

She looked at the dragon pattern on his lapel, and looked up to his lapel, and suddenly felt that it was too close, so she moved back quietly.

Xiao Huai looked away, pushed the small table on the case aside, then got up and opened the doors and windows, and finally walked back and said, "Why do you want the old lady of the Han family's bracelet?"

Speaking of business, Shen Xi felt much more at ease.

Because I had guarded that he would ask about the Han family, I said, "Song Jiao's excessiveness has something to do with Mrs. Han's arrogance. So I dared to ask her for the bracelet."

Su Yan brought someone in to collect the table.

Xiao Huai took the tea and rinsed his mouth, and didn't rush to answer, but took another half sip of the new tea, and then said in a rambling voice: "You have been in touch with the Han family a lot lately."

Is she playing with fire?
Shen Xi hurriedly said, "Not at all. If Song Jiao hadn't teased me, what happened yesterday would not have happened."

I knew that he would suspect that she had evil intentions, so I should quickly get rid of myself.

Xiao Huai didn't say anything.

Even though he let her go so many times, he still hasn't been able to walk into her heart. How can it be so simple for her to treat him as one of her own?
He stood up and said, "I'm going to the Yamen. Where are you going?"

Shen Xi was slightly taken aback.Looking back: "I'm going home."

Nothing to do, of course go home.

Xiao Huai stretched out his hand to caress the top of her head: "Good boy."

After speaking, I went downstairs.

obedient? ? ?
Shen Xi froze there, as if petrified.

Shen Ruopu didn't return to the mansion until nearly three o'clock last night.

Although I was a little dazed after the hangover, it wasn't so dazed that I couldn't even tell the seriousness.In the morning, I got up two quarters of an hour earlier than usual, packed up and hurried to the palace, there were only two or three small officials in front of the palace gate.

In fact, the emperor had already granted him leave, and he could stay in the mansion for several days.

But at this moment, he had to be extra cautious, because even he himself was a little inexplicable about the promotion of this official.

He had a good meal with Lin Juntao in Qianqing Palace, when Shen Yan suddenly invited him to the gate of the palace and told him to stand next to the emperor and protect the emperor.

He was still skeptical, thinking that they were talking nonsense, with so many soldiers guarding them, how could the emperor be in danger?

But because it was Shen Xi's confession, he also listened to it.Unexpectedly, not long after he returned to the palace, something really happened!
When the assassin appeared, he almost subconsciously threw himself at the emperor, holding the little emperor firmly in his arms out of the duty of a courtier!
The incident happened so suddenly that he even knocked away Han Dun who was nearby!
And it wasn't until he felt the pain in his arm that he felt a sense of reality, and he actually got a rescue in this way!

He was nervous, plus Shen Xi had tortured Song Jiao so much that there was no scum left, how could he ever rest for a night?

After standing at the gate of the palace for a while, many people came to greet him.When it came to Sanchao, more people came up to chat.

He has been an official for decades, and it was the first time he was so sought after by others, and his mood became more and more anxious this morning.

It was so hard to get out of the Meridian Gate, and they dispersed, but after walking a few steps, they met another group of people under the Duanmen.

When he saw who was coming, he hurriedly stood sideways with his head bowed against the wall.

Xiao Huaiyuan was going to see the little emperor, but after glancing at Shen Ruopu, he suddenly turned around and stood in front of him.

Shen Ruopu didn't know what instructions he had, so he quickly saluted again.

Xiao Huai said: "I heard that there are many people posting posts to Shen's residence today."

Shen Ruopu was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Huai looked at the distant sky: "There are too many people with ulterior motives at this time, what do you think?"

Shen Ruopu was even more stunned, someone with ulterior motives?

Is he reminding him not to get carried away by honor?Don't be impulsively involved in court conflicts?
definitely is……

Otherwise, why would he suddenly care about the private affairs of their house?
After all, the reason why Shen Xi went to the palace banquet was because he told him to bring his family to Dunyi Palace.

If it wasn't for the purpose of going to Dun Yiyuan to meet Mao, he would definitely not bring his family to the palace banquet!

His mind was spinning quickly, after thinking for a while, he immediately calmed down and said: "Thank you for your advice, my son, I will definitely not act impulsively."

Only then did Xiao Huai continue walking forward.

Although Shen Xi had promised him that he would not marry, he still had to guard against Shen Ruopu marrying her off.

Only when all hidden dangers are eradicated, will only he be left in her eyes!

"Go and check, has anyone delivered a post to the Shen family?"

If he finds out, he can ask the little emperor to give them marriages one by one.
