Thinking of this, Helian Xiao solemnly held Zhu Xianyue's hand and said, "Yue'er, don't worry. Even if you are so stupid that you can only drool, you are still my queen. I will only love you in this life."
Zhu Xianyue: "..."
Well, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"I'm not stupid. I just think that the emperor crying in anxiety is very... cute."
There's a kind of cute contrast.
She can't let it go.
"Oh, I see... If I can make Yue'er smile with this silly look, I'm not completely useless."
"Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler. The whole world depends on you. What nonsense are you talking about?"
The emperor and empress looked into each other's eyes, and the affection between them was self-evident.
…
A month later.
Zhu Xianyue’s coronation ceremony as queen.
She gave birth to the first prince of Sheng Dynasty and a pair of twin princesses, and was a great contributor to Sheng Dynasty.
All officials submitted.
However, because of this, the rumors about Helian Xiao being "infertile" were self-defeating.
So everyone thought that since Zhu Xianyue could give birth to a child for Helian Xiao, then the other concubines could also.
In order to control the imperial court, Helian Xiao married many daughters of important officials as his concubines.
Everyone felt that Helian Xiao should be treated equally.
But today is Zhu Xianyue's coronation ceremony, and they are advising Helian Xiao to treat everyone equally. Isn't this mocking Zhu Xianyue for being a dancer and having a low status and not being worthy of being the queen?
Helian Xiao was very angry and wanted to lose his temper.
Zhu Xianyue held him back and whispered, "They have a point. I am already the queen, the mother of the Sheng Dynasty. This is something I never thought of before."
"I am just a dancer. I owe my current position to Your Majesty. Now I cannot stop Your Majesty from finding other sisters."
Zhu Xianyue was so gentle and sensible that Helian Xiao didn't want to look for other women anymore.
No woman can be like Zhu Xianyue...
He sucked so hard that he didn't want to...
"You are the only one in my heart. I am willing to depose all the six palaces for you!"
So, at the ceremony for Zhu Xianyue's coronation, Helian Xiao addressed all the officials, "Empress Zhu Xianyue is gentle, kind, intelligent, virtuous, and a model for the nation. From this day forward, I will dismiss all six concubines and swear I will never take a concubine again. Anyone who disobeys will be struck with this sword!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Helian Xiao actually broke a sword...
Everyone knelt.
Now, everyone understood that what Helian Xiao said was true.
Not only that, he also issued an edict.
Monogamy is encouraged.
If a couple agrees to stay together for life and signs an agreement with the local authorities, they can receive fifty taels of gold!
However, anyone who violates this rule must swallow gold and commit suicide.
This applies to both men and women.
Helian Xiao set a precedent for monogamy in the Sheng Dynasty, and many people in the society followed suit.
He also treated the women in his harem who had served him well.
If anyone wanted to leave the palace, he would reward them with gold and land. If anyone wanted to stay in the palace, he would also provide them with retirement care.
The Sheng Dynasty is a rich and powerful country with strong people, and is not afraid of spending money.
…
"Ding Dong~ Congratulations to Yueyue for completing the 'Emperor's Exclusive Favor' mission again and unlocking the hidden plot! Friendly reminder, follow Helian Xiao on his expedition to the Northern Frontier to obtain clues about the original owner's true identity~"
The voice of Xiaoyu from the Blood Jade Bracelet rang in his mind.
Zhu Xianyue seemed to have discovered a new world again.
I agreed immediately.
…
The fifth prince of the northern border discovered a gold mine.
The royal family of Northern Frontier secretly recruited soldiers and prepared horses.
In the blink of an eye, the country became rich and the people became strong.
Beijiang no longer wanted to be a vassal state of Sheng Dynasty, so it launched a war against Sheng Dynasty.
