Chapter 444

After watching Rong Qingqing enter the gate of the house, Xie Jingrun turned around and got on his horse to leave.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Emperor Zhaojing had sent someone to wait there.

"Your Highness, the emperor told you to go to him as soon as you return to the palace." The palace man who sent the message said respectfully.

"I know." Xie Jingrun frowned, and walked to the imperial study.

Royal study.

Emperor Zhaojing had just finished approving a memorial and was drinking ginseng tea brought by Haifu.

When he saw Xie Jingrun walking in from the outside, he straightened his face.

"I kowtow to my father." Xie Jingrun saw that his expression was not happy, and went forward to salute him.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhaojing took a sip of ginseng tea and choked in his throat, unable to go up or down.

After swallowing for a long time, he frowned and said, "There is no outsider here, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

Xie Jingrun stood up, "Yes."

After Emperor Zhaojing handed the teacup to Hai Fu, he patted the piles of memorials on the imperial case, shook his head and sighed, "You are free, and you went to play with your sweetheart for a day, but I was exhausted and corrected the memorials all day. .Alas, my life is so miserable!"

When Xie Jingrun heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Haifu's head hung lower and lower.

Emperor Zhaojing glanced at Xie Jingrun and sighed again.

Xie Jingrun opened the mouth and said: "It's because the ministers are not filial and cannot help the father to share the court affairs."

Emperor Zhaojing took advantage of the situation and said: "I am already old, if I continue to work like this every day, I will definitely be exhausted..."

"Then I don't know what my minister can help my father with?" Xie Jingrun took his words calmly.

Emperor Zhaojing pondered for a moment, and then said: "During this time, you can review the memorial for me."

"My son..."

Emperor Zhaojing raised his hand and interrupted him, "During this time, you have to get familiar with court affairs as soon as possible. With your qualifications, as long as you familiarize yourself a little bit, you will be able to take charge on your own. If you can, after the new year, I would like to abdicate. "

Xie Jingrun frowned, "Father is in his prime..." Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of what a woman said, so he had to change his words, "Since Father trusts my son, I am willing to accept Father's arrangement."

Emperor Zhaojing nodded, "There is not much time until the Chinese New Year. Starting tomorrow, you will no longer be able to leave the palace and must move in with me. I will teach you the way of being a king and how to deal with government affairs."

Xie Jingrun frowned imperceptibly.

He deeply felt that his father's move was intentional.

Doesn't letting him leave the palace mean to prevent him from seeing Qingqing again?
But thinking that after he ascended the throne, he would be able to marry Qingqing, he had no choice but to hold back.

"My son obeys the order."

Emperor Zhaojing nodded in satisfaction.

Thinking of one thing, he put on a stern face again, "Although I no longer object to you marrying Rong Qingqing, but before the wedding, you have to restrain yourself a bit, and don't secretly meet behind my back."

Xie Jingrun glanced at him, "Yes." He would definitely not meet her secretly behind his back, he could go to see her openly.

Emperor Zhaojing was satisfied, thought of something, and said: "Also, besides Rong Qingqing, I will arrange a few noble ladies for you at that time. Our royal family has few descendants, I hope you can spread branches and leaves for our royal family, Give birth to ten or twenty children." Thinking of the picture of his grandson wrapping around his knees, he almost laughed out loud, but luckily he still remembered to put on a majestic posture in front of his son, so he suppressed his laughter.

Xie Jingrun had a gloomy look on his brows, but he didn't refuse outright, but said: "The matter of accepting the concubine will be discussed after I get married."

Emperor Zhaojing also felt that he had acted too hastily, and said: "This matter is not urgent, we will talk about it when the time comes, as long as you don't reject it."

Xie Jingrun scoffed secretly, when the time comes, he will be enthroned, and everything will be decided by himself.
