The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Xie Lingxiao thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

He looked at Shen Jingxuan and asked, "Xuan'er, do you know why?"

Shen Jingxuan was stunned when she heard his words, but when she thought about how he always believed in her unconditionally, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"The emperor did not follow the recuperation method, which led to what happened today."

She pursed her lips and continued, "Ah Xiao, the emperor is ill, it's not fake."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingxiao stared at the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Jingxuan sat beside him silently without disturbing him.

On the second day, the emperor attended the morning court on time, either because his health had improved or because he listened to Xie Lingxiao's words.

The news of everything that happened in the Prince's Palace had already been sent to the Regent's Palace.

Ling Feng said: "The Second Prince went to see the Emperor after the morning court session. He sent someone to tell him when he would bring the young master into the palace."

Xie Lingxiao said unhappily: "No."

He never expected that before yesterday, it was only the emperor who was concerned about this matter, but today Xie Ziling actually helped the emperor to follow up and inquire about it.

Xie Lingxiao's fingers tapped the table rhythmically. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Send someone to tell the emperor that Xie Ziling should get married."

"Have the Emperor tell the eldest prince to return home and rest. He is not allowed to leave the palace until his wife is pregnant."

It’s not good for the emperor to worry about his son all day long.

Since he doesn't like the underage princes in the palace, he must like the emperor's grandson, right?

At this time, Xie Lingxiao was looking forward to the performance of Xie Zian and Xie Ziling. He just hoped that the two of them could perform better and divert the emperor's attention from his son.

When the emperor learned of Xie Lingxiao's arrangement, he angrily slammed the imperial desk.

"In order to prevent me from seeing the two children, he has focused his attention on An'er and Ling'er?"

Eunuch Deng stood aside with his head lowered and his shoulders shaking.

Xie Lingxiao agreed so readily yesterday that the emperor had no idea how long he was secretly happy after he left.

Even for today's morning court, he got up half an hour earlier than usual, just to let Xie Lingxiao know that he was diligent and bring the two children into the palace as soon as possible.

Eunuch Deng did not expect that Xie Lingxiao would react like this when he received the news from Xie Ziling.

"Your Majesty, the Regent is right. You should pay more attention to the affairs of the Emperor's grandson."

"Is that something I can get if I care about it? If An'er doesn't work hard and Ling'er doesn't get married, how can I hold my grandson?"

"Your Majesty, hasn't the Regent come up with a solution for you?"

The emperor's eyes brightened when he heard this: "He will find a way."

"Go and tell the eldest and second princes my instructions, and do as my brother says."

Eunuch Deng reminded, "Your Majesty, how should we convey your instructions on the Second Prince's marriage?"

The marriages of princes were mostly arranged by the emperor, but before that, someone always had to help choose the right match.

But the second prince has no mother, and he has never been favored by the emperor, so no one cares about this matter.

Although Lu Wenxi is the queen, she only cares about Xie Zihan's marriage and doesn't care about anyone else.

Xie Ziling rarely stayed in Shangjing City, so the marriage was delayed.

The emperor's brows gradually furrowed, and for a moment he could not think of how to convey the oral order.

"Since Ling'er doesn't have a marriage partner, go find one. Have all the civil and military officials in the court send portraits of eligible women to the palace for inclusion in the register."

"Your Majesty, who should we give the book to? Which concubine should we let choose for the Second Prince?"

Hearing what Eunuch Deng said, the emperor was slightly stunned. Ever since the queen was banished to the cold palace, he seemed to have forgotten that the harem had been unattended for a long time.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother helping to take care of things, the concubines would have been in a mess long ago.

The emperor stared at Eunuch Deng, and seeing that he was the same as usual, with nothing wrong with his expression, the emperor pursed his lips slightly.

Eunuch Deng has followed him for so many years, how could he not know what he is thinking?

The emperor naturally knew what he was thinking.

After hesitating for a while, the emperor looked at the palace door and sighed slightly.

"When you convey my instructions to the eldest prince, please also give a message to the imperial concubine."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Deng and saw him looking at him in shock. He continued, "The Queen Mother is old and the harem cannot be left unattended. It's time for her to return to the palace."

Eunuch Deng pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will go right away, right away."

After saying this, without waiting for the emperor to continue speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the hall.

The emperor's health is getting worse day by day. If the imperial concubine returns to the palace, the emperor's condition may improve.

He finally waited for the emperor to give in.

The emperor looked at the empty imperial study, his lips pursed without relaxing.

It was not until an hour later that Eunuch Deng returned to the imperial study, and the emperor had not even moved.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Eunuch Deng called him anxiously.

The emperor came back to his senses and looked behind him, and the corners of his already pursed lips tightened even more.

"But the imperial concubine doesn't want to return to the palace?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will pass on your instructions. The Imperial Concubine did not stay for long after hearing them. She immediately ordered her people to pack up and followed me back to the palace."

The emperor's eyes widened slightly: "Are you really willing to return to the palace?"

Eunuch Deng curved his eyebrows and said, "She has returned to the palace. She has already returned to her bedroom."

After hearing what Eunuch Deng said, the emperor's heart slowly calmed down.

He was really afraid that the imperial concubine would refuse to return to the palace.

The matter that had been on his mind for a long time was finally resolved. The emperor was in a better mood and even ate half a bowl of rice more at dinner.

Eunuch Deng looked at the emperor, his lips trembling and the corners of his eyes slightly red.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since the emperor had eaten so much at one time.

When there were only two people left in the imperial study, the emperor said, "After the portraits sent by the civil and military ministers are compiled, they will be sent to the imperial concubine's bedroom and asked to help Ling'er take a look."

"Once the booklet is ready, I will deliver it to you."

The emperor thought of Xie Lingxiao's words and looked unhappy: "Old Deng, what method do you think I can use to let my brother bring the child into the palace?"

"How come such a smart and lovely child is not my prince?"

Eunuch Deng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand why the emperor, with so many underage princes, only liked Xie Lingxiao's two children.

"If the emperor loves children, the concubines have many little princes and princesses."

"Can they be the same? Are they as smart as Xu'er and Le'er? They don't look like the emperor's younger brother either."

Like a regent?

How could the emperor say such words?

Doesn't he know how serious the problem would be if he behaved like the Regent?

Eunuch Deng suppressed his thoughts and looked at the emperor: "If the emperor likes them, he can keep them in the palace."

Stay in the palace? Will Xie Lingxiao agree?

The emperor stared at Eunuch Deng without blinking, thinking over and over again in his mind what he had just said.

As long as he could keep the two children in the palace, he could see them every day.

I don't know what solution he came up with, but the emperor nodded vigorously as he thought about it, and he always felt that this solution was the safest.

Eunuch Deng did not expect that his casual words would lead the emperor to make such a big decision, so that for many years afterwards, the regent never gave him a good face.
