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

Without having to think too much, Xie Ziling guessed that those ministers must have mentioned the matter of expanding the harem.

He was sure that if it was something else, the emperor's uncle would never be so angry.

Xie Lingxiao was angry about this matter, but he didn't expect that Shen Jingxuan also knew what happened in the morning court.

She looked at Ling Qiong calmly and asked, "Expanding the harem?"

Seeing that she acted as if it had nothing to do with her, Ling Qiong couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried? Those old guys are actually discussing the affairs of the Emperor's harem in the court."

Shen Jingxuan said: "It is inevitable to expand the harem in every dynasty, and it is also very common. Why do you have to worry about it?"

Ling Qiong wanted to continue talking, but Shen Jingxuan waved her hand at her, stopping her from continuing.

"Okay, Ah Xiao has his own ideas, so don't be angry."

She was angry? She just felt it was not worth it for Shen Jingxuan.

When he was in the palace, the prince stuck to the princess all day long. Now he is busy with government affairs and has little time to spend with the queen, and such a bad thing happened.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan's calm expression, Ling Qiong felt a little bitter.

Ever since Shen Jingxuan moved into the palace, she only smiled occasionally in front of Xie Lingxiao. When he was not around, it was rare to see a smile on her face.

When Xie Lingxiao arrived at the bedroom, Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and stared at the pot of flowers in front of her in a daze.

Thinking of what Ling Qiong had just said, he felt extremely upset.

Her mind was full of thoughts, so she didn't notice Xie Lingxiao approaching.

A pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist, startling Shen Jingxuan and bringing her back to her senses instantly.

"Going to court?"

"Yeah." Xie Lingxiao put his neck on Shen Jingxuan's shoulders and tightened his hands around her waist slightly.

Shen Jingxuan let him lean on her, fiddling with the flowers in front of her with her soft white hands.

Xie Lingxiao noticed something was wrong and pulled her into his arms: "Xuan'er, if you keep fiddling with it, the leaves of the flower will become bald."

Shen Jingxuan lowered her head and saw that many leaves of the flower had fallen around.

"..."

Xie Lingxiao saw a smile on her face and kissed her lips lightly.

"Do you know what happened in the morning court?"

Shen Jingxuan had been married to him for so long, but he had never seen her so distraught.

The only thing that could have made her like this was probably what happened in the morning court.

Shen Jingxuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I just found out."

If possible, she didn't want to know at all.

"Don't worry, those old guys are always watching the harem, I will find a way to make them shut up."

"Ah Xiao, they have a minister who is their right-hand man after all, so don't do anything excessive."

Xie Lingxiao pulled Shen Jingxuan to sit down and held her on his lap.

"Are you worried that I'll embarrass them? Shouldn't you be worried that they'll ask me to expand my harem?"

Shen Jingxuan said calmly: "What they said makes sense. Now that you are the emperor, it is inevitable to expand your harem and have more children."

Xie Lingxiao frowned slightly, and when he heard Shen Jingxuan's words, he showed displeasure in front of her for the first time.

"Don't you care at all? If you expand your harem, how many women will compete for your favor? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Ah Xiao, as long as I can help you stabilize the court..."

"That's enough." Xie Lingxiao interrupted Shen Jingxuan.

He thought that after going through so much together, he already held a position above everything else in Shen Jingxuan's heart.

But for some reason, seeing her calm face and calm thinking, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

She should trust him and believe that he can handle this matter properly.

Xie Lingxiao put Shen Jingxuan on the chair, stood up and walked out.

He couldn't stay any longer, fearing that he would not be able to suppress the anger in his heart.

Shen Jingxuan watched him leave quietly, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled and her lips tightly pursed.

If possible, she hoped that Xie Lingxiao had not become the emperor, and they were still living in the Regent's Palace, leading a simple life.

But... ...after all, there's no going back.

Shen Jingxuan stood up and walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside through the window, and sighed slightly in her heart.

In the past, I was burdened by the inner courtyard of the backyard, but now I am trapped by the high walls of the deep palace.

After all, there is no freedom.

Looking at the endless place, Shen Jingxuan suddenly wanted to walk out, to see the end of the other side, to cross the palace wall and do what she liked.

It’s not that he didn’t believe Xie Lingxiao, but there were some things that she didn’t want to embarrass him or herself.

Shen Jingxuan stood by the window for half a day, the past between them kept flashing through her mind, but in the end, she only let out a sigh.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ling Qiong arrived at the bedroom.

"My lady, it's time for dinner."

Shen Jingxuan turned around and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

In the past, Xie Lingxiao would come back early to have dinner with her, but today he was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Qiong pursed her lips and said, "The Emperor has already served the meal in the Imperial Study and is dining with the Second Prince."

Shen Jingxuan's face was calm, and she didn't notice anything unusual.

"Xu'er and Le'er have used it too?"

"Yes." Ling Qiong responded.

Most of the time, Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle ate alone, and their meal time was a little earlier.

"Serve the food." Shen Jingxuan said softly.

Ling Qiong glanced at Shen Jingxuan worriedly, then ordered the palace servants to prepare dinner.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan only took a few bites and then put down her bowl and chopsticks, Ling Qiong pursed her lips tightly.

"My lady, please eat more."

"Go away, I'm full."

Shen Jingxuan's eyes fell on the table. She looked at the dishes. They were obviously her favorite dishes, but she had no appetite at all.

Seeing that she didn't move, Ling Qiong had no choice but to order someone to take the dinner away.

After she helped Shen Jingxuan wash up and watched her go to bed, Ling Qiong left the room and walked towards the imperial study.

Ling Qiong didn't expect to meet Xie Lingxiao on the way to the imperial study.

Xie Lingxiao rubbed his forehead lightly: "Why are you here?"

Ling Qiong pursed her lips and said, "I want to go find the master, so I want you to go back and accompany the queen."

Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "She asked you to come find me?"

Ling Qiong shook her head slightly: "The Queen has already gone to bed, but..."

"Just what?" Xie Lingxiao asked nervously.

"It's just that the queen barely had any dinner, so I thought of looking for the master."

Hearing Ling Qiong's words, Xie Lingxiao quickened his pace and walked towards the bedroom.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Shen Jingxuan had already fallen asleep, but she seemed to be sleeping very uneasily.

Seeing her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted together and her lips tightly pursed, Xie Lingxiao cursed himself for leaving her alone.

He gently smoothed her beautiful eyebrows and whispered softly to Shen Jingxuan.

"Xuan'er, don't worry, I won't let you down, nor will I let you down."

Xie Lingxiao did not sleep all night. He sat on the edge of the bed and quietly guarded Shen Jingxuan all night.

It was almost time for the morning court session when he kissed Shen Jingxuan on the forehead and got up to attend the court session.
