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

When Shen Jingxuan woke up, the room was already pitch black. She suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the room was wrong and she felt as if more than one pair of eyes were staring at her.

She sat up and vaguely saw two figures, one large and two small, sitting on the edge of the bed. A smile slowly appeared on her lips.

"Why are you willing to go back to the palace?"

Hearing Shen Jingxuan speak, Xie Jingle quickly went to the table to light the candle, and the room instantly became bright.

"Mom, Le'er misses you."

After saying that, he quickly ran over from the table, as if he was afraid that if he was a step late, Xie Boxu would snatch his mother away from him.

Unexpectedly, just as he ran to the edge of the bed, two arms, one long and one short, stopped him.

"Stay away from your mother." Xie Lingxiao glared at Xie Jingle.

He had just reminded Xie Jingle of this matter in the imperial study, but he didn't expect that Xie Jingle had forgotten it so quickly.

Xie Boxu saw Xie Jingle stop and turned his head to look at Shen Jingxuan with a smile: "Mom, are you thirsty? Xu'er will bring you some water?"

"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded with a smile.

Seeing Xie Boxu obediently go to fetch water, Xie Jingle stood honestly beside Xie Lingxiao. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Lingxiao.

"What happened to them? Why did they suddenly return to the palace?"

"I sent someone to bring them back."

Without waiting for Xie Lingxiao to continue speaking, Xie Jingle blinked and looked at Shen Jingxuan expectantly: "Mother, am I going to be a brother?"

When Shen Jingxuan heard his words, she suddenly looked at Xie Lingxiao. Seeing him looking at her with a smile, she understood.

"You're going to be a big brother." Shen Jingxuan reached out and touched the top of Xie Jingle's head.

"Are Le'er and Xu'er happy?"

"Happy..." Xie Jingle answered first.

Xie Boxu came to Shen Jingxuan with water and handed it to her: "Mother, Xu'er is happy too, but..."

Shen Jingxuan thought Xie Boxu was unhappy, and her heart suddenly tightened as she stared at him in a daze.

Xie Boxu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, is it a brother or a sister in your belly?"

"Does Xuer like his younger brother or younger sister?" Shen Jingxuan asked.

For some reason, Xie Lingxiao felt inexplicably nervous when he heard Shen Jingxuan's words.

Xie Jingle pushed Xie Boxu aside and came to Shen Jingxuan: "Mother, I want a younger brother. I like younger brothers."

Without waiting for Shen Jingxuan to answer, Xie Lingxiao raised his hand and pulled him aside: "It's useless for you to like it."

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao was treating the child with such rudeness, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but glare at him.

Xie Lingxiao didn't care at all, he smiled and said: "Children's words are innocent, he can't say for sure."

He had heard that ordinary families had such a custom that when a woman was pregnant, they would ask the children to help guess whether it was a boy or a girl.

It is said that children have clear eyes and most of what they say is extremely accurate.

When he heard about it in the past, he just turned a blind eye to it and didn't believe it or take it seriously.

But when Shen Jingxuan asked him today, he suddenly remembered this matter in his mind, and then he heard Xie Jingle's answer, which was the result he didn't want to hear.

Shen Jingxuan smiled and looked at Xie Boxu: "Where's Xu'er? Does Xu'er like her brother too?"

"Mother, Xu'er already has a brother named Le'er. Xu'er wants a sister."

"Mom, my brothers and sisters are all good. I like them all." Xie Jingle quickly changed his words.

The hand that was holding his wrist loosened and Xie Jingle breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that his father would never let him stay with his mother again because of what he said.

Shen Jingxuan rubbed Xie Boxu's head and said, "We don't know whether it's a brother or a sister yet. You will know when the baby is born."

Who would have thought that Xie Boxu would reach out his hand, touch Shen Jingxuan's belly, and say in a clear and pleasant voice: "Mother, I know it's a sister without waiting for her to be born."

Xie Lingxiao was delighted when he heard this, and couldn't stop smiling: "Xu'er said she is my sister, so she is my sister."

He felt more satisfied with Xie Boxu.

Xie Jingle stared at Xie Lingxiao in a daze. The smile on his face made Xie Jingle not know what to say for a moment.

Daddy is so gullible.

Now that his mother has not given birth to any younger brothers or sisters, he was so happy just because his brother said it casually.

Xie Lingxiao noticed his gaze and raised his hand to pat his forehead: "You don't have as good eyesight as your brother. Starting tomorrow, you will study one more hour every day."

Xie Jingle looked at Xie Lingxiao in shock, not understanding why his father was linked to learning knowledge when they were just discussing his younger siblings.

His eyes flashed quickly, and he shouted to Xie Lingxiao: "Daddy, I think she is my sister too."

"Really?" Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Really, mother is pregnant with both a brother and a sister." As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Boxu proudly.

Daddy was unhappy if he only had a younger brother. Now that he tells his father that he has a younger brother and a younger sister, his father will definitely praise him.

Xie Jingle didn't expect that the originally happy conversation was ruined by his words.

Xie Lingxiao stared at Xie Jingle, just looking at him, thinking about what he just said, the scene when Xie Jingle and Xie Boxu were born kept flashing in his mind.

For a moment, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

He grabbed Xie Jingle by the collar and carried him out of the palace gate.

"Daddy, isn't what I said good? Isn't it better to have a brother and a sister?"

Xie Lingxiao's already ugly expression became even uglier. He carried him out of the palace gate and threw him on the ground.

"Ling Feng, watch him do horse stance and practice basic skills. If he doesn't do well, don't have dinner."

After saying this, he closed the door of the hall without waiting for Xie Jingle to recover, leaving Xie Jingle standing there in a daze.

He couldn't figure out what he had done to make his father so angry.

Eventually he was taken away by Ling Feng and watched him practice basic skills.

When Xie Lingxiao came back to Shen Jingxuan, his face was still very ugly.

Shen Jingxuan shook her head gently: "He is just a child, why are you angry with him?"

"He talks too much." Xie Lingxiao said in a muffled voice.

He only wants a daughter, no matter what anyone says.

Without Xie Jingle, Xie Lingxiao was coaxed into submission by Xie Boxu in a short while. The three of them had dinner together, and Lingchen finally returned to the palace.

Seeing how anxious he was, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but scold him, "Lingchen, where are your rules? It's not a big deal that makes you so flustered."

Ling Chen said, "Your Majesty, the Retired Emperor and the Queen Mother have returned to the palace, but the Retired Emperor has been in a bad mood all the way and is now in the bedroom, clamoring to return to the Royal Courtyard."

Go back to the Royal Courtyard? Xie Lingxiao sneered in his heart. Has he been living a carefree life for too long? Does he not want to go back to the palace for even a day?

That depends on whether he allows it.

When they forced the throne on him regardless of his will, they should have realized that some things could not be done the way they wished.

After living a carefree life for so long, they can forget about continuing it now.
