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

Xie Lingxiao sat there quietly, staring fixedly at the imperial desk, waiting for Ling Chen's answer.

But after waiting for a moment, he still didn't hear Ling Chen's voice. He looked up at him in confusion.

Their eyes met, Ling Chen suddenly looked away, covered his lips and coughed softly: "The Emperor... He is fine..."

Xie Lingxiao asked: "Very good?"

Thinking about the years when Shen Jingxuan had been constantly preparing medicines and sending people to deliver them to the royal villa for the emperor and the empress dowager to take, he suddenly felt that it was normal for Ling Chen to say so.

"Send someone to the Royal Courtyard to pack the clothes of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, and bring them to the palace."

"Take...take him into the palace?" Ling Chen looked at Xie Lingxiao in surprise, as if he didn't hear his order clearly.

When his eyes met Xie Lingxiao's, Ling Chen's eyes paused suddenly.

He did not hear wrongly, it was indeed to pick up the retired emperor and the empress dowager back to the palace.

Ling Chen responded hurriedly and quickly disappeared in front of Xie Lingxiao.

Thinking of Xie Lingxiao's gaze just now, I felt the cold sweat on my back increase instead of subsiding.

The habit I developed in the past was not to ask the reasons, no wonder the master looked at me with such a cold look.

If he had not reacted quickly enough, he even suspected that he would have been on his way back to Luofeng Temple for training.

Not knowing the emperor's intention, Ling Chen did not dare to delay his orders and hurriedly arranged for people to rush to the royal villa.

Xie Lingxiao looked at Ling Chen's disappearing figure, and his already ugly face became even gloomier.

The emperor threw such a huge mess to him, but he lived a carefree life in the royal villa.

Thinking that it wouldn't be long before he was taken back to the palace, the expression on Xie Lingxiao's face eased a little.

He had delayed long enough, it was time to get everything in order.

Now that the retired emperor and the empress dowager have returned to the palace, it's time for Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle to focus on their studies.

Therefore, Xie Lingxiao sent people to bring Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle back to the palace in the shortest possible time.

Looking at the two dirty children in front of him, Xie Lingxiao couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

Xie Jingle was unhappy: "Father, I don't want to live in the palace. My great-grandfather gave me a lot of toys, but I haven't played with them yet."

Xie Lingxiao pursed his lips and said, "How long have you lived in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? Do you still remember?"

"Father, I don't think it has been that long." Xie Jingle raised his hand and touched his nose.

Ever since Shen Jingxuan left the palace and arranged a small gathering for everyone, Elder Xue and Elder Xu moved back to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. When the three elders found out, they followed suit.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion also became lively because of Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis came every day and would find some rare items for the two of them from time to time. The group of people spoiled them to the point of lawlessness.

From then on, Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle rarely returned to the palace. Even if Xie Lingxiao forced people to bring them back to the palace, they would leave the palace again after just one or two days.

Being able to be alone with Shen Jingxuan, Xie Lingxiao did not try to stop them too much.

But now is different from the past. They are already five years old, and it is time to hire a teacher to guide them in their studies.

"Where's Xu'er? Do you want to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as well?"

Xie Boxu raised his head and looked at Xie Lingxiao, then lowered his head slightly after a moment: "I will follow my father's arrangements."

He really wanted to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, where there were many things that were not in the imperial palace, and where he could do many things that could not be done in the imperial palace.

For example, freedom.

Outside the palace, he could do whatever he wanted. His grandfather would take him wherever he wanted to go. Even to the military camp, he could enter and leave at will.

But if he lived in the palace... ...he would not be able to do the things he liked to do.

Xie Lingxiao glanced at Xie Boxu approvingly, then turned his head to look at Xie Jingle and said, "Although you are not the crown prince, as a prince, you should restrain your temper and be as sensible as Xu'er."

"But Father, you said that the status of the Crown Prince would be restrictive, but you didn't say that the same would apply to the Emperor."

After hearing what Xie Jingle said, Xie Lingxiao paused and asked, "If I tell you that the prince is the same, will you still choose not to be a prince?"

Xie Jingle suddenly looked at Xie Lingxiao, listening carefully to the meaning behind his words. Seeing that Xie Lingxiao was looking at him without blinking, he slowly lowered his head.

No, he is the son of his father, the emperor. How can he have the right to choose whether to be a prince or not?

Seeing him lower his eyes and remain silent, Xie Lingxiao could not bear to continue scolding him, so he softened his voice and continued, "Now you should restrain your character and enter the palace to learn knowledge. I will arrange for someone to teach you."

"Starting tomorrow, after you finish your studies, you will come to the Imperial Study, and I will teach you how to handle government affairs."

Although Xie Jingle is not the crown prince and he will not need to deal with these matters in the future, Xie Lingxiao does not think so.

At least he thought that Xie Jingle should understand how to deal with these things and could help Xie Boxu more in the future.

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao had made up his mind, Xie Jingle and Xie Boxu had no choice but to agree.

But thinking about not being able to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the future, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Xie Lingxiao looked at the two of them quietly, and after a long while he sighed softly: "If you have time in the future, you can still go to the Zhenguogong Mansion, but you must learn the knowledge well and do what you should do."

"Really?" Xie Jingle looked at Xie Lingxiao steadily with bright eyes.

Until he saw Xie Lingxiao nod towards them, Xie Jingle happily hugged Xie Boxu: "Brother, we can still leave the palace."

Xie Boxu let Xie Jingle hold him, but his curved eyes and shining black eyebrows showed that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

"Dad, where is mother?"

Xie Lingxiao glared at Xie Jingle and said angrily, "If I let you stay in the palace, you call me father, but if I let you leave the palace, you call me daddy?"

Xie Jingle hooked his lips and touched the back of his head: "You are my father whether I leave the palace or not."

He thought he had hidden it very well, but he didn't know that Xie Lingxiao had already noticed it, but just didn't say anything to stop the two of them.

Xie Boxu took a few steps forward and held Xie Lingxiao's hand: "Dad, is mother in the bedroom? We haven't seen mother for a long time."

Xie Lingxiao patted his head: "You are going to be brothers, don't disturb your mother's rest."

"Brother?" Xie Jingle suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xie Lingxiao with expectation.

Xie Boxu raised his head, and raised his dark eyebrows like Xie Lingxiao: "Really? Daddy, are we really going to be brothers?"

He wanted to be a brother, even though he was already a brother, but when he thought of his and Xie Jingle's playmates at the Zhenguo Mansion, who always praised his sister for being so fair, soft and cute, his eyes brightened a little.

Xie Lingxiao smiled and said, "How could Dad lie to you? When you go to see Mom later, don't make trouble for her and stay here honestly, remember?"

Seeing the two of them blinking their bright eyes and looking at him, Xie Lingxiao's smile widened a little more.

He took their hands and walked towards Shen Jingxuan's bedroom together.

Thinking that the emperor was about to return to the palace and Xie Jingle and Xie Boxu were already by his side, Xie Lingxiao felt even happier.

It will be soon. It will be arranged soon.
