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

Now, what Xie Lingxiao least wanted to hear was twins. Everything related to the twins made him particularly unhappy.

Whenever those two words fell into Xie Lingxiao's ears, the scene when Shen Jingxuan gave birth to Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle would flash through Xie Lingxiao's mind.

Madam Shen noticed that Xie Lingxiao was acting strange and comforted him, "Xiao'er, don't worry too much. This pregnancy won't be as difficult as the first one."

Although she only gave birth to one child, she saw with her own eyes how Hao gave birth to Shen Xinglin, which was much faster than when she gave birth to Shen Jingxuan.

Hao smiled and said, "Mother is right. Although having a second child will be difficult, it will be much easier than the first one."

Hearing what Old Madam Shen and Madam Hao said, Xie Lingxiao suddenly raised his head: "Are grandma and mother serious?"

What he was most worried about was Shen Jingxuan's delivery. He was always afraid that she would faint like she did with her first pregnancy.

Xie Lingxiao didn't dare to think about the scenes at that time, but they flashed in his mind from time to time.

After hearing the news, he couldn't eat or sleep.

Madam Shen said, "Don't worry, Xuan'er will be fine. She will give birth to the baby safely."

With the comfort of the two, Xie Lingxiao's tense heart relaxed a little.

Shen Jingxuan slept very well until it got dark, and then she finally woke up.

Madam Shen and Mrs. Hao wanted to wait for her to wake up and give her a few words of advice before leaving, but they never got the chance.

"Awake?" Xie Lingxiao's slightly hoarse voice sounded beside Shen Jingxuan.

Shen Jingxuan leaned sideways into his arms and said, "Yeah."

"Ah Xiao, are we back to the palace?"

Xie Lingxiao held her arm and paused, "We will return to the palace tomorrow and rest in the palace for one night today."

He knew that what Shen Jingxuan most didn't want to do was to return to the palace, but this was only temporary.

After she gives birth to the baby safely, he will take her to continue traveling and go anywhere she wants to go.

I will never let her be like that again.

Sensing Shen Jingxuan's disappointment, Xie Lingxiao said, "I will take you out of the palace after you give birth to the baby."

"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded softly.

Xie Lingxiao helped Shen Jingxuan up, and the two had dinner together. After walking in the yard for a while, they returned to the bedroom and soon fell asleep.

The next day, after they had packed up, they returned to the palace early.

Half a year later, Shen Jingxuan looked at the palace which had not changed at all. Even though she had been away for so long, she still did not miss it at all when she saw it again.

If possible, she would never set foot in this place again in her life, and she would not have the slightest regret for it.

Xie Lingxiao sent Shen Jingxuan back to the bedroom. After arranging everything, he got up and went to the imperial study.

The moment the palace door was opened, Xie Ziling suddenly looked up, and when he saw that the person who came in was his good uncle, he almost burst into tears.

The retired emperor was just the opposite of him. He slammed the memorial in his hand on the imperial desk and stared at Xie Lingxiao without blinking.

Xie Ziling hurriedly went to greet him, "Uncle, you are finally back to the palace."

Xie Lingxiao glanced at him and walked straight forward. After he sat down, he smiled and said, "Zi Ling, you are looking forward to my return to the palace so much, are you missing your uncle?"

"No..." Xie Ziling's eyes flashed, "Yes..."

"Uncle, will you stay in the palace this time when you return?"

Xie Lingxiao asked, "Why? What difference does it make whether I stay in the palace or not?"

That's a huge difference, but he didn't dare say it.

"Uncle, please stay in the palace. If there is anything, I can discuss it with you."

"The emperor is in charge of the palace. He can decide everything."

After saying that, Xie Lingxiao looked at the emperor with a smile, "Brother, I'm back in the palace. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Say to him?

The emperor looked at him steadily, and the more he looked, the angrier he became.

"I'm telling you? Do you want me to catch my mistakes and use them to embarrass my baby?"

He couldn't remember how many times he had sent letters to Xie Lingxiao, he just hoped that he would agree to let him go to the royal villa.

Even if he couldn't stay there, he would be satisfied just to take a look at them.

But the result?

When did he ever receive a reply? Every time, it fell into the sea without a reply.

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "I have nothing to say to you."

Xie Lingxiao nodded, "If that's the case, then forget it."

His fingers tapped lightly on the table. "I originally wanted to let you stay at the Royal Villa for a few days, but I was overthinking it."

The Emperor: “…”

After hearing what Xie Lingxiao said, Xie Ziling hurriedly said, "Uncle, I have something to tell you."

The emperor wanted to change his words but he didn't want to. He glared at Xie Ziling and said, "Don't you know who the master is? Don't you know you should yield to your elders?"

Xie Ziling frowned and said, "Father, didn't you just have nothing to say? You said you didn't want to..."

"Shut up." The emperor became angry and embarrassed.

He waited for so long and sent so many letters to Xie Lingxiao, but to no avail.

Originally he didn't hold out any hope.

But Xie Lingxiao's words just now rekindled his little hope.

"Royal brother..."

Xie Lingxiao glanced at him calmly, "Zi Ling, what did you want to tell me just now?"

Xie Ziling's gaze moved between the retired emperor and Xie Lingxiao, and after a moment he clenched his fists.

"Uncle, now that you are back in the palace, can you let me rest for a while? I..."

"I will be living in the Imperial Study for the next few years, so please let me rest for a few days."

Xie Lingxiao said: "Alright, I'll let you rest for five days."

Xie Ziling thought Xie Lingxiao would refuse, but unexpectedly, he was so easy to talk to this time.

Without waiting for him to continue thinking, Xie Lingxiao continued: "Go to Lingchen to get some silver, and return to the palace in five days."

"Thank you, uncle." Xie Ziling looked at Xie Lingxiao with curved eyebrows.

The emperor became anxious when he heard this.

What about him? Ling'er could leave for five days, so why didn't she mention him?

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao was not going to continue speaking, the emperor reminded him, "Royal brother, what about me? Can I also rest for five days?"

"Why did you take a five-day break? Didn't you have nothing to say just now?"

Xie Lingxiao pursed his lips and looked at him, "Besides, if you leave too, who will teach Xu'er and Le'er?"

He gave the emperor a chance, but he didn't expect that his good brother would not believe him.

The emperor said anxiously: "I didn't say it because I was afraid you wouldn't agree."

"Besides, now that you have returned to the palace, Xu'er and Le'er can teach you personally."

"No, I don't have that much free time."

Xie Lingxiao smiled and said, "Xuan'er is about to give birth, I want to be by her side all the time."

"As for the rest, everything remains the same."

After saying that, he stood up, patted his robe, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

The emperor didn't cherish the opportunity that came to him, and now that he wants it, he doesn't want to give it to him.
