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

Shen Jingxuan did not answer Lu Wenxi's words. She let her think whatever she wanted and did not care at all.

If she could figure everything out, maybe she would feel better in the future. If she couldn't figure it out, it would only deepen her hatred for Lu Zhong. But none of this had anything to do with her anymore.

When Shen Jingxuan left the cold palace and returned to the bedroom, Xie Lingxiao had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing her figure, Xie Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips and strode towards her: "Where did you go?"

"Cold Palace." Shen Jingxuan said in a faint voice.

For Lu Wenxi, the way she lives now is a punishment, a torture, and also an atonement.

What happened between her and Shen Jianan was the result of an ignorant relationship between them when they were young. It was Lu Wenxi's one-sided love, but she didn't expect that she would do such a vicious thing in the end.

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyes and looked at Xie Lingxiao, sweeping away the gloomy mood just now, and a smile appeared on her pretty face: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Xie Lingxiao glanced at the sky outside, his lips tightly pressed together, his dark eyebrows slightly frowned: "Xuan'er, it's getting dark today, how can it still be early?"

He had already dealt with so many things and helped Xie Ziling review many memorials. For some reason, he felt that time was passing unusually slowly today.

Xie Lingxiao accompanied Shen Jingxuan for dinner, walked with her outside the palace for half an hour, and finally the night came.

The two of them slept in each other's arms, feeling extremely content.

Following Xie Lingxiao's decree granting the marriage, the civil and military officials in the court no longer dared to mention the matter of expanding the harem. With the lessons learned from the three people, the ministers became unusually low-key.

The previous dynasty was stable, and there was nothing unusual in the harem.

Shen Jingxuan sat on the swing outside the hall bored, staring into the distance in a daze.

This was made by Xie Lingxiao based on the swing in Shen Jingxuan's space.

Just to sit with her for a while when she is bored or depressed.

Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle have never returned to the palace since they went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion last time.

There is only Shen Jingxuan in the entire harem.

Ling Qiong stood behind Shen Jingxuan, pushing her occasionally. Seeing that Shen Jingxuan didn't say anything, she just stayed with her quietly.

"Princess, how about I walk with you?"

Shen Jingxuan did not answer but asked: "Ling Qiong, how long have Xu'er and Le'er not returned to the palace?"

She always felt that the two of them had been apart for a long time, so long that she had forgotten the time.

Ling Qiong said: "My lady, they haven't returned home for more than a month."

Shen Jingxuan sighed slightly. They lived freely outside the palace all day long, but they didn't think about how bored their mother was in the palace all day long.

Her eyes fell on Chuntao walking in the distance, and Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes paused slightly.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Qiong: "What's wrong with her?"

Ling Qiong raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Maybe there is something to be happy about..."

Shen Jingxuan looked at Chuntao who was getting closer and closer, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze fell on her delicate red lips.

She didn't believe Ling Qiong's words.

What happy thing could make her lips red, swollen and beautiful?

Chuntao noticed the two men's gazes, raised her hand and gently covered her lips with a handkerchief, her cheeks a little redder than before.

"Empress..." Chuntao lowered her head, deliberately avoiding Shen Jingxuan's inquiring gaze.

When Chuntao turned her head, her eyes met Ling Qiong's. Seeing that she was staring at her intently, she looked away in panic.

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, but before she could say anything, footsteps were heard again behind Chuntao.

Ling Huan looked at them strangely: "Madam..."

She walked while calling Shen Jingxuan, and glanced at Chuntao sideways when she passed her, then suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Chuntao noticed her gaze on her and walked over to Shen Jingxuan.

Ling Huan frowned, and seeing that she had been covering her lips with a handkerchief, he asked, "Chun Tao, what's wrong with your lips?"

"No...it's okay..." Chuntao said as she gently moved the handkerchief in her hand to cover her lips.

Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong looked at each other, then raised their eyebrows and looked at Ling Huan and Chun Tao.

With Ling Huan around, she would not let Chun Tao go easily unless she found out the reason.

As expected, Ling Huan frowned and took a few steps forward: "Impossible, I clearly saw that your lip was injured."

Seeing that Chuntao refused to answer, she hurriedly asked, "What happened to your lips? Why are they so red and swollen?"

Chun Tao: “…”

Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong looked at the two of them with a smile, their eyes occasionally falling on Chuntao.

Feeling the gazes of the two men, her already slightly pink cheeks suddenly darkened in color.

"You are meddling in other people's business." Chuntao became angry and embarrassed.

Ling Huan seemed determined not to let her go. He chased to Shen Jingxuan and looked at her without blinking.

Chuntao looked at the person in front of her and raised her hand to push her aside, but she didn't expect that her already beautiful red lips would instantly catch the sight of several people.

Ling Huan was closest to Chun Tao. He dodged her hand and shouted, "My Lady, was Chun Tao's lip bitten by something?"

"Why is it so red and swollen?"

"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ling Huan used to be a relatively calm person, but the more he interacted with Chun Tao, the more he became like her.

Especially the look of not letting go until you get the answer.

Shen Jingxuan glanced at Ling Qiong, who curled her lips and smiled: "Maybe he was bitten by something."

Chun Tao chased after Ling Huan with a flushed face. When she heard Ling Qiong's words, she paused.

Ling Huan looked puzzled: "What bit him so hard?"

Chun Tao: “…”

Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong didn't know how to answer, but the smiles on their faces showed that they were in a very good mood at the moment.

Watching Chuntao and Ling Huan chasing and playing, Shen Jingxuan seemed to see how they looked in the past in the palace.

The high walls and courtyard not only bound her, but also everyone around her.

As in the past, Chuntao returned empty-handed in the end.

"My queen, are you not going to take care of Ling Huan? She runs too fast, I can't catch up with her."

Shen Jingxuan pretended to be angry and hooked her finger at Ling Huan with a cold face: "Come here, let our Taoer explain it to you."

"Your Majesty..." Chuntao was startled for a moment by her words.

Let her explain... ...how will she explain?

Before she could recover from her shock, Shen Jingxuan's voice rang out again: "It just so happens that Ling Qiong and I also want to listen."

Chun Tao: “…”

When Xie Lingxiao and Ling Feng arrived, they happened to hear Shen Jingxuan's words, and he walked towards her with a smile.

"Xuan'er, what do you want to hear? I'll listen with you."

Hearing Xie Lingxiao's voice, Shen Jingxuan and the others all looked at the person who came.

Shen Jingxuan's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, and when she looked at Xie Lingxiao, her eyebrows became curved.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Lingxiao asked: "Why? Can't I listen?"

He raised his head and looked at Shen Jingxuan, following her gaze. When he saw clearly, his dark eyes suddenly stopped.
