"Bah! You're already the emperor, but you still talk nonsense," Meiya said with disgust. She quickly served him a bowl of old duck soup and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Zhong Mingwei finished a bowl of rice and two bowls of soup. He slowed down and ate the sweet and sour pork. He seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Meiya, "When you came in just now, you were looking around. What happened?"
"I'm just confused. How come no one stopped me when I came in?" Mei Ya also remembered and asked Zhong Mingwei with her chin in her hand, "I heard before that no matter who enters or leaves the Imperial Study, they must be summoned by His Majesty or informed in advance, even the Empress Dowager is no exception. How come no one stopped me when I came in?"
"Are you an ordinary person? You are my wife, Zhong Mingwei. You are the mistress of the entire palace. There is no place you cannot go?" Zhong Mingwei said with a smile, stretching out his hand to pinch Mei Ya's cheek. He added, "Come whenever you want in the future. Don't be like today, I didn't send someone to call you, and you kept delaying. I was starving."
"How do you know I delayed coming on purpose?" Mei Ya was immediately curious. She had actually prepared the meal early, but she sent people over several times, and they all said that Zhong Mingwei was busy, so Mei Ya did not let anyone disturb him. After all, it was the first day of court, and there were countless eyes staring at the imperial study. She wanted to gain a reputation for Zhong Mingwei as a diligent and virtuous man, so she kept delaying sending Zhong Mingwei the meal. It was not until she heard that Zhong Mingwei had finished reviewing all the memorials that she was busy delivering the meal that she had prepared early in the morning.
"Even if Madam doesn't feel sorry for her husband, do you think the Imperial Kitchen dares to treat the Emperor harshly? It's obvious that you gave the order and deliberately didn't let the Imperial Kitchen deliver food to me," Zhong Mingwei drank a mouthful of soup and continued to look at Mei Ya with a smile, "Don't you think I know what you are thinking? You are so obsessed with winning a good reputation for me, aren't you afraid of bearing a bad reputation yourself?"
"That's right!" Mei Ya was startled, and then she glared, "In this way, you become a wise king who works hard and loves his people, and I become a vicious queen who deliberately treats the emperor harshly!"
Seeing her like this, Zhong Mingwei couldn't help but laugh even harder: "So, don't worry about me anymore, just be the same as before, do whatever you want, you can't live in this palace anymore, and you worry about this and that, but your life will be worse than before."
"Can you really do whatever you want?" Meiya looked up at him.
"Of course you can. You can now do all the things you wanted to do but didn't dare to do before," Zhong Mingwei said softly. "Girl, your man is the emperor now, so you can let go and have fun as you like."
"Bah! You're the one who's having fun! You're making me look like a puppy wagging its tail," Mei Ya glared at him, then lowered her face and looked at him seriously, "Ming Wei, I really have something to ask of you."
"You say." Zhong Mingwei saw that she looked serious and hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand.
"Can I move to Jingren Palace?" Mei Ya said softly. Seeing Zhong Mingwei frown, she hurriedly said, "I know you like me and love me, so you want me to live with you in the Yangxin Palace. But Mingwei, it's too unreasonable. After all, the Yangxin Palace is the emperor's residence. How can you keep female relatives for a long time? One or two days is nothing, but I'm afraid that before long, your dragon case will be piled with memorials asking you to deal with me, a troublemaker. By then, you will be furious, and who knows what will happen in the court," Mei Ya said, looking at the mountain of memorials on the dragon case, and then stood up and walked over to hold Zhong Mingwei's hand, "The most important thing is that that's where your mother lived, and it's also where you were born. Mingwei, I want to live there."
