After watching Rong Qingqing step into the mansion, Xie Jingrun turned around and left.

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

"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to go to him as soon as you return to the palace." The palace servant who was passing the message said respectfully.

"I understand." Xie Jingrun frowned and raised his foot to the imperial study room.

Imperial study room.

Emperor Zhaojing had just finished reviewing a memorial and was drinking the ginseng tea brought by Hai Fu.

When he saw Xie Jingrun walking in from outside, he immediately looked stern.

"My son bowed to my father." Xie Jingrun saw that he looked unhappy and stepped forward to salute him.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhaojing choked his throat with a mouthful of ginseng tea, unable to go up or down.

After swallowing it for a while, he frowned and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

Xie Jingrun stood up with the flow, "Yes."

After Emperor Zhaojing handed the teacup to Haifu, he patted the stacks of memorials on the imperial desk, shook his head and sighed, "You are leisurely and ran to play with your sweetheart for a day, but I was exhausted and corrected the memorials for a day. Alas, my life is so hard!"

Xie Jingrun's eyes twitched when he heard this.

Haifu's head was hanging lower and lower.

Emperor Zhaojing glanced at Xie Jingrun and sighed again.

Xie Jingrun said, "It is a son who is unfilial and cannot help his father share the court affairs."

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

"I wonder what my son can share with my father?" Xie Jingrun calmly took over his words.

Emperor Zhaojing pondered for a moment before saying, "You will review the memorials for me during this period."

"Son-in-law..."

Emperor Zhaojing raised his hand and interrupted him, "During this period, you have to be familiar with the court affairs as soon as possible. With your qualifications, as long as you get familiar with it, you can stand alone. If possible, after the New Year, I will want to abdicate."

Xie Jingrun frowned, "The father is in his prime..." When he said this, he suddenly thought of what a woman said, so he had to change his words, "Since the father trusts the son minister, the son minister is willing to accept the father's arrangement."

Emperor Zhaojing nodded, "There is not much time left until the New Year. From tomorrow, you cannot leave the palace again. You must move here to live with me. I will teach you the way of being a king and how to deal with the government."

Xie Jingrun frowned without notice.

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

Isn’t it just to stop him from seeing Qingqing again?

But thinking that after he ascended the throne, he could marry Qingqing, he had to suppress it.

"My son follows the order."

Emperor Zhaojing nodded with satisfaction.

Thinking of something, he turned a stern face again, "Although I no longer object to your marriage, you have to restrain yourself before the wedding and not to secretly meet with me on my back."

Xie Jingrun glanced at him, "Yes." He would never meet him secretly, he could go to see her openly.

Emperor Zhaojing was satisfied. Thinking of something, he said, "Also, in addition to Rong Qingqing, I will arrange a few noble daughters for you at that time. Our royal family is weak, and I hope you can give birth to our royal family and give birth to him a dozen or twenty." Thinking of the scene of his grandson lying around his knees, he almost laughed out loud, but fortunately he still remembers to do a majestic pose in front of his son, and he held back his smile.

Xie Jingrun's eyebrows were covered with a hint of gloom, but he did not refuse, but said, "I will talk about the matter of taking concubines after I get married."

Emperor Zhaojing also felt that he was too hasty and said, "No rush to do this. Let's talk about it at that time, just don't reject it."

Xie Jingrun secretly sneered that by then, he will ascend the throne and everything will be decided by himself.
