Chapter 133 King Rui
The emperor saw Honglian's satisfied smile and said to her, "Good, good, good, this dance is good. I remember Jiuqing has not married yet. You will be the Ninth Royal Consort in the future."

"Honglian thanks your majesty."

Honglian knelt on the ground and kowtowed in surprise. This time, Honglian was sincere.

After all, His Majesty is already seventy years old. He looks at least fifty years old, with spots on his face and an old man's scent.

Another thing is that she is just a dancer with a humble status. Even if she gets into trouble, she can only be a concubine at most, and she can't even become a talented person.

Now she is married to Xuan Jiuqing, and she is the principal wife.

"Father..."

Xuan Jiuqing stood up and shouted to the emperor unwillingly, hoping to arouse his fatherly love. This is just a dancer, how can she be worthy of his position as the principal wife.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is of noble status and has extraordinary talent..."

Concubine Li joined in, but seeing the emperor's increasingly cold eyes, Concubine Li's voice became smaller and smaller, and she did not dare to continue speaking.

The most important thing for her now is to give birth to her child safely.

The emperor looked at Concubine Li intently, and Concubine Li did not dare to breathe.

After a moment, he smiled and spoke to everyone.

"Since my beloved concubine said that Jiuqing is extremely wise, then I will make Jiuqing the King of Rui and Honglian the Queen of Rui."

Concubine Li lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the emperor's eyes. At this moment, she didn't even dare to breathe.

She knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

It was not until the emperor held her in his arms that she breathed a sigh of relief.

It is a taboo for the harem to interfere in government affairs.

Although His Majesty is old, his mind is still clear.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Since she entered the palace, although she was quite favored, she had always been cautious.

It’s not that there weren’t others who were more favored than her, but they were all buried in the palace.

And she, who has been able to live and live in the present, has become the most favored one.

What's more, the baby in her belly was not born in the right place.

She had been in the palace for more than ten years and had no children, except for that day.

She herself had a good impression of Xuan Jiuqing. Who doesn't like an elegant nobleman? And who would like a moody old man?

She knew that Xuan Jiuqing wanted her protection.

So she made the request.

On the surface, the two had no dealings with each other, and this did not affect Xuan Jiuqing's reputation.

She just wanted a child.

With this child, she no longer had to be buried alive.

If it's a boy, it would be even better. She might be able to have a fiefdom in the future, and it would be nice to live in the fiefdom with her child.

After all, the emperor is old and she has to plan for her future.

It is unlikely that Xuan Jiuqing will be able to succeed to the throne.

The prince has been the crown prince for thirty years, his position is entrenched and his power is enormous.

And now Xuan Jiuqing has lost the emperor's favor and can no longer compare with the prince.

Now that the emperor has given the dancer to Xuan Jiuqing, he also wants to put an end to his thoughts.

The position of the legal wife was once given to the dancer.

Even if Xuan Jiuqing wanted to rely on the power of his wife's family, he can no longer do so.

Concubine Li felt that she had done her best and the rest could not be blamed on her.

Xuan Jiuqing clenched his fists, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor, "Thank you for your gift, father."

Xuan Jiuqing's palms were already bleeding.

No matter how beautiful Honglian is, she is just a dancer of lowly status.

But now, she has been regarded as his legal wife, which is a great shame.

But he had to kneel down and kowtow to express his gratitude.

Princess Nanyang was as devastated as Xuan Jiuqing. This marriage was enough to cut off countless possibilities.

The prince looked normal.

As long as Xuan Jiuqing is still in the capital, he will be a threat to him.

Xuan Yi looked like he was enjoying the show.

He smiled and said to Xu Chunhua: "Such a beautiful woman, the emperor grandfather is still good to him."

Xuan Yi was very happy.

After all, their family and Xuan Yi don't get along.

This woman is beautiful, but she is just a dancer. It is unheard of in the entire Dasheng Dynasty for a dancer to be the principal wife. At the very least, she must be a commoner with a clean background.

But this dancer is of prostitute status.

If he marries her, Xuan Jiuqing will have a hard time turning his life around.

Xu Chunhua was originally extremely jealous of Honglian, a dancer who attracted the attention of the entire city. But when she saw Xuan Yi so happy, she finally understood what Aunt Mei said, that background is very important.

No matter how hard those people try, they can never reach her level.

Xu Chunhua was somewhat glad that Aunt Mei helped her change her face.

Otherwise, no matter how beautiful she is, her status has already determined her upper limit.

Just like the red lotus in front of her, she is extremely beautiful. However, if His Majesty the Emperor and the Concubine were not pregnant and in a good mood to grant the marriage, she would be nothing more than a plaything.

Xuan Jiuqing was also someone with whom she had a grudge, and it was a big grudge at that. The worse Xuan Jiuqing's life was, the happier Xu Chunhua would be.

Now seeing Xuan Jiuqing looking extremely humiliated.

Xu Chunhua also felt extremely happy.

Tell him to look down on her.

Although she is a farmer's daughter, at least she has a clean background, which is a little better than a dancer.

Honglian seemed not to notice Xuan Jiuqing's reluctance at all. She stood up timidly to express her gratitude, then walked to Xuan Jiuqing's side and continued to kneel down.

The position of the queen!
This is incredible luck.

She originally thought that the old emperor was incompetent and cruel, and he should die sooner and be reborn.

Nowadays, the more I look at it, the better it looks.

"I bow to thank the emperor for his grace!"

"Hahaha! Princess Rui should call you father now. Now that you have married into the royal family, you still have family members. The three clans in your family have all been listed as good citizens. In the future, you must follow Old Nine with peace of mind and serve him well for me."

"Your son thanks you, father." Honglian shouted happily.

This time, Honglian's gratitude was completely sincere.

She even began to regret joining the Xuannv Sect.

Now, it’s not that easy to quit.

However, her identity is different now, perhaps she can make use of the Xuannv Sect.

By then, she will be able to gain greater benefits for herself and her family.

Although Xuan Jiuqing disliked Honglian, he still helped Honglian stand up and sat with Honglian next to his seat.

He already understood Emperor Sheng's thoughts, and he knew that Emperor Sheng wanted to put an end to his thoughts.

If he refused, he might even lose the title of King Rui.

No matter how much he dislikes it, he has to pretend.

Although the red lotus is beautiful, it is just beautiful.

There was no help for him.

Xuan Jiuqing felt somewhat disheartened.

He knew that after today, he would never have a chance of getting this position.

He couldn't understand why the emperor knew clearly that his martial arts skills were destroyed by the prince.

But the emperor still sides with the prince.

Now, he is forced to marry a dancer to humiliate him.
