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

When Xie Zian and Xie Ziling left the palace, they felt a chill on their backs.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

"Ling'er, the emperor's uncle won't target you and me, right?"

Xie Ziling looked at Xie Zian deeply, worried that their thoughts would come true in an instant.

"Let's go to the Ministry of Rites quickly. Maybe if we follow the instructions of the Emperor's uncle and do things well, he will not embarrass us."

"Hurry, let's get ready."

After that, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the Ministry of Rites.

Little did they know that Xie Lingxiao had already targeted them and would not let them go easily.

Xie Lingxiao, who was thinking about them, found Shen Jingxuan at this time and was about to tell her his thoughts.

Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan with curved eyebrows: "Xuan'er, I have something to discuss with you."

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "What makes you so happy?"

Xie Lingxiao sat next to Shen Jingxuan and asked, "The coronation ceremony and the queen coronation ceremony will be held in three days. I want to ask about your two children."

"Who do you think is more suitable to be the crown prince, Xu'er or Le'er?"

Shen Jingxuan was a little shocked when she heard his words, and didn't understand why Xie Lingxiao was so anxious to establish a crown prince.

"They are still so young, can't we wait until they are older?"

"They are not young anymore. If we let them know their identities earlier, they will study harder and take over the affairs of the court as soon as possible."

Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "But I don't want them to suffer too much, how about waiting until they are older?"

Xie Lingxiao's eyes flickered: "It's not hard, just stay with me, and when they grow up, I can handle the affairs of the court."

Seeing that Shen Jingxuan still wanted to refuse, Xie Lingxiao urged: "Don't worry about these, I will arrange it properly."

Shen Jingxuan stared at Xie Lingxiao, and seeing that he had made up his mind, she had to take back her words of dissuasion.

"Le'er is smart, how about making Le'er your successor?"

"No, Li Xu'er, Xu'er is more suitable. Besides, he is the older brother and should take on the responsibility. He will be able to take better care of his younger brother in the future."

Brother? They were obviously the same age, just a few hours apart.

Shen Jingxuan said: "Xu'er is not as smart as Le'er, and he doesn't learn things as fast as Le'er."

"But he is my brother." Xie Lingxiao insisted.

Shen Jingxuan looked at him and suddenly realized it was him. She didn't want Xie Jingle to be trapped by those things.

But Xie Boxu is also his son. Doesn’t he think he is too partial?

Shen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask Xu'er and Le'er?"

In the past, she only knew that Xie Lingxiao loved Xie Jingle more. She thought that Xie Jingle was his younger brother, so it didn't matter if he loved him more.

But after listening to Xie Lingxiao's words just now, she realized that Xie Lingxiao's love for Xie Jingle was much greater than that for Xie Boxu.

Even when it came to appointing a crown prince, it looked obvious that he favored Xie Boxu more, but in reality, he didn't want Xie Jingle to be entangled in government affairs.

"Okay, then ask them." Xie Lingxiao said.

But what Shen Jingxuan didn't expect was that before they could ask the two children, Xie Lingxiao went to find Xie Jingle first.

When Ling Qiong talked about this with Shen Jingxuan, Shen Jingxuan wanted to kick Xie Lingxiao out of the palace.

"Is that what he said to Le'er?"

"Yes, the prince went to see the young master and told him how hard it was to be a crown prince. He had no freedom and had to be watched by the civil and military officials in the court. If he was not careful, they would report him."

"Where is the prince now?"

"Still talking to the young master."

Shen Jingxuan was so angry that she laughed. He was a prince, who was about to become the emperor, but he did such a thing.

Even when asking the two about the title of Crown Prince, he could not be fair.

Shen Jingxuan took Ling Qiong to look for Xie Lingxiao and Xie Jingle.

Seeing the two of them together, Xie Lingxiao said something and Xie Jingle kept nodding beside him. Shen Jingxuan only felt a surge of anger spreading in her heart.

"Thank you Lingxiao..."

"Madam, I'm here." Xie Lingxiao walked quickly towards Shen Jingxuan.

"What do you want from me, madam?"

Shen Jingxuan raised her hand and hit him on the chest: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm accompanying Le'er." Xie Lingxiao's eyes flashed slightly.

Shen Jingxuan walked around him and came to Xie Jingle, "Le'er, where is your brother?"

"Daddy said he was thirsty and asked my brother to help him get some water."

Shen Jingxuan yelled: "Xie Lingxiao..."

Xie Lingxiao covered his lips and coughed lightly: "Madam, don't be angry, otherwise it will hurt your body."

When Xie Boxu returned, he was holding a teacup in his hand. He carefully handed the teacup to Xie Lingxiao.

"Daddy, the water you requested."

Xie Lingxiao said awkwardly: "Xu'er is so good, Daddy is not thirsty, give it to Mommy."

Xie Boxu looked at Xie Lingxiao strangely and handed the teacup in his hand to Shen Jingxuan.

"Mom, have some water." Shen Jingxuan took the teacup from his hand and glared at Xie Lingxiao.

"Is this how you act as a father? Letting such a young child serve you tea and water?"

"Xuan'er, it's not what you think."

Shen Jingxuan suppressed her anger: "Have you asked them?"

Xie Lingxiao said: “Not yet.”

He really didn't have the time to ask, he was just busy telling Xie Jingle how bad it was to be the crown prince and asked him to give the position to his brother.

Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "Ask now, they are all here now."

Xie Lingxiao saw that Shen Jingxuan was already angry, but she had already spoken, so he could only ask in front of her.

"If only one of you two can be the crown prince, who wants to be it?"

As soon as Xie Lingxiao finished speaking, Xie Boxu said, "Let Le'er be the boss. I'm the elder brother and I should give in to him."

"No, I don't want to be the crown prince." Xie Jingle said loudly.

Xie Boxu looked at him in confusion, unable to understand why Xie Jingle refused such a good offer.

He had been to the palace, seen the emperor's study, and eaten the palace's pastries, which were all the best.

With so many good things, why did Xie Jingle decisively refuse them?

Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Jingle: "Le'er, why don't you want to be the crown prince?"

"Dad said that being the prince is very tiring and he has to learn a lot. If he doesn't do things well, he will be reported."

Xie Lingxiao coughed lightly a few times, but Xie Jingle seemed not to hear him and continued, "Daddy also said that if you become the crown prince, there will be a lot of people watching you, and you won't have any freedom at all."

Xie Boxu suddenly looked at Xie Lingxiao: "Dad, why didn't you tell Xu'er?"

He and Xie Jingle ate, slept and played together all day long. How could he not know at this moment that his father had deliberately sent him away so that he had the opportunity to say those words to his brother.

Xie Lingxiao was questioned by his son, and looked at Shen Jingxuan with some embarrassment for a moment, but he saw that she was only looking at Xie Boxu, without even glancing at him.

He sighed slightly and said, "Le'er is my younger brother, and Daddy wants to give you the position of Crown Prince."

"Xu'er, you are the elder brother. Only if you become the crown prince can you better protect your younger brother in the future."

After listening to his words, Xie Boxu looked at him quietly for a long time. Seeing that Xie Lingxiao stopped talking, he ran towards his room.
