Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 199
What obligations do men and women have when they marry?
But Xiao Huai understood what she meant.If she really said that, she might pull out the hairpin and stick it down his throat again.

He said in a diffuse voice, "It's just reciprocity."

Whatever I do to you, you will do to me in the future.

Shen Xi listened to the literal meaning and didn't go any further.

But after a while, she still said: "I have a few words to say, but I don't know if the prince will think that I am a bit pushy."

Xiao Huai squinted at her.

Then she continued: "First of all, I have to thank the prince, because the one who suffered the loss was the prince, and I have gained a lot of benefits for nothing.

"Although you said that day that you would not get married for the time being, I still want to repeat that if the son and I can maintain the previous state, then I will be very grateful."

It doesn't mean that with the imperial decree, and the favor of a man with such good conditions as him, she has to be happy to please him.

The purpose of her rebirth is not to marry.You can't give up your principles just because he's in good condition when you get married.

Besides, although the status of concubine in this world is extremely useful to her, she can't count on Prince Yan's Mansion to avenge her.

Although there were conflicts between King Yan's Mansion and the Han family from time to time, how could King Yan and Empress Dowager Zheng allow the entire palace to be against the Han family because of her private affairs?
King Yan would rather let Xiao Huai marry Song Jiao than to tear himself apart with Empress Dowager Zheng and Han Dun. It can be seen that he still has some things he cares about.

So, if he knew that she was going to deal with Wen Chan, even if the Han family couldn't do anything to her, what would King Yan do to her?

Xiao Huai is not the real person in charge of the Yan Palace, and his actions are still under the control of Yan Wang.

If she involves him in this matter, then she will inevitably make his situation difficult, not to mention her own danger.

Xiao Huai silently pinched his fingers for a while, then said in a dark voice: "Got it."

She even said to thank him after she was given the marriage. Did she think she married Confucius?

But since she said it, he couldn't help it.

"Except for putting on a show in front of outsiders, in private we are still the same as before," he said.

Hearing this, Shen Xi relaxed and said with a smile, "Thank you, my lord!"

It is indeed tiring to run through the capital of the Great Zhou alone.If he doesn't understand, she really has nothing to do.

Xiao Huai glanced at her with a cool look.

How dare you be so happy!

Shen Xi's heart sank, and he was not hesitant to be in a good mood, so he stretched out his hands to clean up the paper and pens scattered on the desk for him.

Xiao Huai looked at the white and plain hands that had not been painted with Kodan fluttering like butterflies, and suddenly said: "Two days ago I went to Lingyun Pavilion for you to ask, but I didn't find out who passed Lin Pei's words to them.

"I think it's either that this person is doing it secretly, or he just said something casually, which made those people suspicious, so it seems that this account can't be settled."

Shen Xi stopped.I didn't expect him to go to Lingyun Pavilion for her...

Thinking about Lin Pei's marriage again, she suddenly realized it!Could it be that when she met Lin Pei in the teahouse that day, he also went?
There was a trace of suspicion on her face.

He remained calm: "I just happened to pass by, of course it couldn't be for you."

really?
Shen Xi glanced at him and continued to pack up.

There is nothing shameful about her and Lin Pei, and it's not that he doesn't know about Shen Chongxin, so let's go.

And he also went to Lingyun Pavilion for her—speaking of which, she really thought about looking it up, but she was waiting for the opportunity after Qi Jiu's arrival.

Now even Xiao Huai can't be found, so obviously there is no need to think about it here.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help it, and said hesitantly: "The prince seems to be quite concerned about me recently."

Even if it was just a coincidence that he went to the teahouse, then why did he go to Lingyun Pavilion?Couldn't it be a coincidence?
"Is there?" Xiao Huai withdrew his elbow, and picked up the tea with a serious face: "You don't have to worry too much, I have always been like this to my subordinates."

You don't want to marry me anyway.

Suspicion flickered in Shen Xi's eyes, but he didn't say anything else.

He was always unpredictable, but on the whole he made her feel at ease.

She went around to him to hang up the brush.

Xiao Huai turned to look at her who was only a foot away: "Don't come close to me with excuses."

Later, I suspect that he has ulterior motives.

Shen Xi glanced at him speechlessly, and stepped back a bit based on the principle of not conflicting with him.

Xiao Huai then put the tea cup in his hand in front of her: "I'm thirsty, help me get more tea."

As a result, his whole body moved over, and he was even closer than before.And his face was pressed on top of her, it didn't look like he was handing a cup, but rather he wanted to hug her whole in his arms.

Shen Xi took a deep look at him, and pushed his untouched bowl of tea in front of him.

"It's time to be on duty for one hour. The son is slow to use it. I will resign first."

Xiao Huai held her by the shoulder: "Then what about this gift list?"

Shen Xi couldn't hold back, and fell into his arms!His face just caught his breath... The tip of his nose was only three inches away from her, and the golden beads on the dragon crown could already be seen clearly...

Xiao Huai's long arms wrapped her around her body, and the eyes that fell on her cherry lips were suddenly bottomless.

"Little Lord!"

Su Yan who came in hastily saw this and turned his back in a hurry.

Blood rushed to his face all over Shen Xi's body, he quickly pushed him away and wanted to stand up, but instead he held him tightly in his arms.

"What's the matter?" He asked calmly while protecting her tightly.

Su Yan faced the screen and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "Return to the young master, the prince has news."

There was a trace of coldness in Xiao Huai's eyes.

After his body settled for a while, he lowered his head and slowly smoothed the hair around her ears, and said, "Got it."

Su Yan retreated like an arrow.

Shen Xi who was lying on his chest turned red into a pig's liver.

"It's just an accident, why are you blushing." He let go of her, squinting and said, "I'm not interested in women who throw themselves into my arms."

Shen Xi's face was full of embarrassment and all his blushes faded away!
A hug?

She gave him a white look, and stood up: "Thank God for that! When it comes to the man I like, I like the one who takes the initiative the most."

After she finished speaking, she went out with her head held high and her chest held high without looking back.

Xiao Huai, who was sitting in place, gradually turned dark...

In the evening of that day, Su Yan brought several servants to Shen's house to deliver the gift list.

Because the light car was easy to follow, and it was picked at dusk when everyone was in a hurry to return home, so no one outside noticed this matter.

Xiao Huai himself did not go, because the King of Yan sent someone to send a message back, saying that he would return to court soon.

When Shen Xi returned to the mansion, he put aside the "accident" very quickly, because the whole mansion had already prepared Shen Xin's happy date intensively, and who would like to think about such embarrassing things, she anyway. Prefer amnesia.
