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

Xie Lingxiao's gaze fell on a few people, and his eyes flashed slightly when he saw their expectant eyes.

"You three all have daughters who are of marriageable age. Now you have seen that others do not want to send their daughters to the palace for selection."

"In order to avoid extravagance and waste in the selection, I will just issue an order."

The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue suddenly looked up, and when they saw the smile on Xie Lingxiao's face, for some reason, they suddenly felt that someone was going to be in trouble.

As expected, Xie Lingxiao asked Ling Feng to spread out the imperial edict. Ignoring everyone's gaze, he personally drafted an imperial edict and handed it to Ling Feng.

"Read the imperial edict." Xie Lingxiao had already returned to his previous appearance, without a trace of smile on his face.

Ling Feng opened the imperial edict, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and when he noticed Xie Lingxiao's gaze, he instantly returned to his original appearance.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the two daughters of the Minister of Works' mansion are to be married off. Yang Yue is given to Lord Li as a concubine, and Yang Wei is given to Lord Meng as a concubine. Lord Li and Lord Meng each have a daughter who is given to Lord Yang as a concubine. The marriages must be completed today without any mistakes."

The Minister of Works and the two ministers behind him were stunned for a moment, staring at Xie Lingxiao in a daze, forgetting what to say.

The Minister of Justice had a big smile on his lips.

He knew that the emperor allowed them to do as they pleased and had already thought of a way to deal with it.

These old ministers all saw how important the Queen was to the Emperor, so how could they allow them to humiliate her?

The Minister of Revenue breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the emperor's smile just now, the result was not surprising.

Ling Feng tried hard to suppress the smile on his face: "You three, why don't you thank the Lord for His grace?"

The three assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works fell to their knees with a plop.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order..."

The daughter in their family has just reached the age of marriage. If she becomes a concubine for these old guys, her life will be ruined.

Thinking of the emperor's smile, they realized belatedly that they had ignored the emperor's temper because of their momentary complacency.

The Minister of War said coldly: "Your Majesty is the emperor of a country, how can you take back your order?"

"Besides, the emperor has just ascended the throne and his position is not stable. If he changes his orders every day, wouldn't the other three countries laugh at him?"

The Minister of Revenue pursed his lips and said, "It is true that the decree cannot be withdrawn. If everyone wants to do this, then everyone can refuse the emperor's decree in the future."

When the Minister of Works heard what the two said, anger gradually spread in his heart.

No wonder they had thought of so many reasons to refuse their daughter from entering the palace. They probably knew this would be the result.

The strange thing is that he didn't notice it at all.

He was very regretful at this time, and felt sorry for his daughter, who had to serve those two old guys at such a young age.

Thinking of their ages, which were much older than himself, the Minister of Works felt a fishy-sweet taste rising in his mouth.

The Minister of Justice looked at his appearance and guessed what was in his mind.

But why didn't the Minister of Works think about this? He did marry his daughter to someone else, but the Emperor also gave him concubines, so he got two at once.

Xie Lingxiao's lips curled slightly: "What the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue said makes sense. In order for me to secure my throne in the future, I have to inconvenience the three of you."

"only... ..."

"Just be kind to each other's daughters. After all, their ages are similar to your own daughters."

When the three assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works heard the emperor's words, they felt dizzy and their bodies swayed a few times.

Ling Feng noticed Xie Lingxiao's gaze and hurriedly announced his withdrawal from the court.

Xie Lingxiao glanced at everyone and left the morning court hall without looking back.

If they want to force him to expand the palace and let their daughter enter the palace as a concubine, they also have to see whether he agrees.

What do you mean he has no offspring? He indeed only has two sons, but it's not like he has no heir to the throne.

When did he need them to worry about his own harem all day long?

As Xie Lingxiao left, the three assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works suddenly fell to the ground. Thinking of the imperial edict issued by the emperor, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works suddenly spit out blood and fainted.

They were his two most beloved daughters and also the most beautiful in the mansion.

The other two looked at the Minister of Works with red eyes, and felt a little relieved when they saw that he couldn't bear it and fainted.

If he hadn't discussed the matter with the two of them, they would never have reported it with him.

How could she send her beloved daughter to him as a concubine?

When the Minister of Punishments saw that the Vice Minister of Works had fainted, he hurriedly asked the ministers who were on good terms with him to carry him out of the palace.

However, he didn't expect that none of the people who used to be close to him came forward.

In desperation, he had to find the guards and ask them to carry the person out of the palace.

The hall, which had been bustling all morning, finally quieted down, and Xie Lingxiao had already returned to the imperial study.

Xie Ziling had two dark circles under his eyes and looked at Xie Lingxiao listlessly.

"Uncle, did anything happy happen during the morning court today?"

"Approve your memorial."

His memorial?

Xie Ziling looked at Xie Lingxiao strangely and muttered, "It's you, the emperor, but the memorials are mine."

If he had known that whether he became the emperor or not, he would have to review the memorials, he might as well have agreed with his father when he asked him about it.

Xie Lingxiao noticed his thoughts and spoke slowly: "It's not too late for you to regret now. I can pass the throne to you again."

"No, no, no, uncle. The throne is not a joke. How can you just change the person?" Xie Ziling said anxiously.

He was just thinking about it and didn't really want to be the emperor.

While reviewing memorials these days and thinking about Xie Lingxiao's troubles, he decided that he never wanted to be the emperor.

I just want to travel around the four countries and enjoy the mountains and rivers as I did in the past.

Xie Lingxiao glanced at him and looked at Ling Feng: "Those old guys left the palace?"

"They have already left. The Minister of Works vomited blood and fainted. He was carried out of the palace by the Imperial Guards."

Xie Ziling looked at the memorial, his eyes flickered slightly, and his ears pricked up, wanting to know what happened in the morning court.

But I didn't expect that Xie Lingxiao and Lingfeng seemed to have already finished talking about the matter and didn't say another word.

He raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why did he vomit blood and faint?"

Xie Lingxiao stared at him intently: "Are you curious? Why don't you go to court for me tomorrow?"

"No, I'm not curious, not curious."

After saying this, Xie Ziling quickly lowered his head and continued to review the memorials.

The emperor's uncle's temperament is becoming more and more difficult to understand. He just asked a question, but the emperor's uncle wanted him to participate in state affairs in every question.

Seeing that Xie Ziling stopped talking, Xie Lingxiao gradually smiled.

"Send someone to keep an eye on them. They must be carried out of the house today."

Ling Feng quickly responded: "Yes."

Seeing Xie Ziling carefully reviewing the memorials, Xie Lingxiao stood up and left the imperial study.

He left in anger yesterday, and today he must stay with Shen Jingxuan to prevent her from feeling suffocated in such a huge palace.

But he didn't know that Shen Jingxuan had already learned about the morning court session from Ling Qiong.

Although I know that everything he did was for me, for some reason, there is still a trace of displeasure spreading in my heart.
