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

Shen Jingxuan looked at the Minister of Justice quietly, and was still a little dazed when she thought about what she had just said.

Has Xie Boxu reached the age to choose a concubine?

She never imagined that time would pass so quickly. It felt like just a blink of an eye and her child had grown up.

Choosing a Concubine...

If Xie Boxu really chooses a concubine, wouldn't she and Xie Lingxiao become grandfather and grandmother?

When Shen Jingxuan thought of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

If it were where she used to live, children of fifteen years old were not yet adults and had to carry schoolbags to school every day.

But in this era, you have to get married and have children.

Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt a little reluctant about Xie Boxu's choice of a concubine, so it was not impossible for him to do it a few years later.

"You guys are really so capable that you have nothing to do in the court?"

Xie Lingxiao sneered, "You guys keep staring at the harem all day, could it be that some minister has a new marriageable woman in his house?"

After hearing what Xie Lingxiao said, all the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads, not daring to respond to Xie Lingxiao.

At this moment, they couldn't help but think of the incident of forcing Xie Lingxiao to expand his harem and the final outcome of those ministers.

Lord Li knelt behind the crowd, and when he thought of this, he secretly cursed the Minister of Works in his heart.

If she had not listened to his instigation, there would not have been an extra concubine in his house, and his wife had been quarreling with him for a long time.

The most hateful thing is that his good daughter became a concubine of the Minister of Works, but was finally sent to the military camp to be a military prostitute because of his actions.

The Minister of Justice lowered his head and said nothing. He was forced to come to find the retired emperor. Now that he had spoken out about this, his mission was accomplished.

He doesn't care about the final result.

Several people who were shouting the happiest in the palace suddenly regretted coming to the Regent's Palace after hearing Xie Lingxiao's words.

If they had remembered Xie Lingxiao's actions earlier, they would never have focused on the harem.

"What? You came here just to kneel in front of me?"

The Minister of Justice asked, "Grand Emperor, the Emperor is indeed of marriageable age, but I wonder when he will choose a concubine?"

"You have a daughter of marriageable age, and are you in a hurry to send her to the palace?" Xie Lingxiao chuckled.

"Your Majesty is overthinking. I am not. I just want to know if Your Majesty has such a plan."

The ministers behind him echoed, "We are just worried that the emperor will be too busy with government affairs and forget about choosing a concubine, so we are reminding him."

Xie Lingxiao glanced at them calmly and said, "Since it's a reminder, you can just remind me during the morning court session. There's no need to bring it to me."

"If the emperor has someone he likes, he will arrange the wedding as soon as possible even if you don't remind him."

The Minister of Justice and the Minister of War nodded secretly.

These old guys can be said to know Xie Lingxiao's temperament very well, and the current emperor is very similar to Xie Lingxiao.

Both his temperament and his style of doing things are almost identical to Xie Lingxiao's.

"Since there is nothing else, you can leave."

Seeing them getting up and preparing to leave, Xie Lingxiao reminded them, "There's no need to urge Xu'er about this matter. If he has someone he likes, they will get married naturally."

He made it so clear that any minister with some common sense would have thought through his words.

As for those who didn't take his words to heart, Xie Lingxiao didn't bother to continue explaining to them.

After everyone left, Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "Ah Xiao, there's no rush for Xu'er to get married. We have to ask about it later to know his true thoughts."

"Xuan'er, haven't you ever thought that even if you force him, he won't get married easily?"

"You are the only one who understands Xu'er? Don't think I don't know what you want to say." Shen Jingxuan said.

Before the two of them could come to a conclusion, Xie Boxu, upon learning of this, hurried to the Regent's Palace.

He walked in and saw the empty room, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, mother."

Xie Lingxiao said: "You are the emperor, but you can't even decide your own lifelong affairs, yet you let those ministers make trouble in front of us."

"Dad, I really don't want to get married. I'm only fifteen years old. Why do I need to get married so early?"

"Have you not gone to see people your age? I'm afraid their children are running around everywhere."

Hearing Xie Lingxiao's words, Xie Boxu frowned and looked at Shen Jingxuan, "Mother, I really don't want to get married."

"Okay, Xu'er, if you don't want to, then don't. When you want to get married, tell mother and I will help you choose one."

Xie Lingxiao said: "He wants to get married? When he wants to get married, will I still be able to hold my grandson?"

The more Xie Boxu listened, the angrier he became. He looked at Xie Lingxiao and asked, "Dad, if my calculations are correct, you were already twenty-three when you got married, right?"

"You got married so late, why do you want me to get married so early?"

Xie Lingxiao was so stunned by Xie Boxu's words that he didn't know what to say. Seeing Shen Jingxuan's body shaking beside him, he suddenly remembered what she said.

She actually said at the time that he was already old, ten years younger than her, and she was almost calling him uncle.

Xie Boxu shut up immediately when he saw Xie Lingxiao's gloomy face. He walked to Shen Jingxuan's side and said, "Mother..."

As soon as he called out, he noticed something was wrong with Shen Jingxuan. Seeing her sitting there and laughing secretly, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"Mom, stop laughing and help me say a few words."

Shen Jingxuan finally put away her smile, but when she looked up and saw Xie Lingxiao's expression, she couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.

"Hahaha... ..."

Xie Lingxiao looked gloomy and stared at Shen Jingxuan until she stopped. He turned his head and looked away.

"Don't worry, your father won't get involved in this."

Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao with curved eyebrows, "Xu'er knows his limits, let him make his own decision."

Xie Lingxiao twisted his body and didn't even look at the two people behind him.

Xie Boxu smiled and shook his head, "Dad, don't worry, I will get married when you can hold your grandson."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "I promise you that I will get married before I am twenty-three."

After saying that, he turned around and ran outside. When Xie Lingxiao reacted and chased after him, Xie Boxu was no longer there.

From behind the door, I could hear Shen Jingxuan laughing.

Xie Lingxiao stood at the door, his handsome face had already turned dark.

The brat has grown up and actually laughed at his father in front of him.

When Xie Lingxiao returned to the room, Shen Jingxuan was laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She couldn't stop laughing when she saw him come in.

But because of this, she laughed so hard that she almost choked.

While Xie Lingxiao was helping her calm down, he glared at him from time to time.

It would have been fine if Xie Boxu had just laughed at him, but Shen Jingxuan was actually happier than Xie Boxu.

But this incident also sounded a wake-up call for Xie Lingxiao.
