"Yes, I obey your command!" Chen Qingxuan saw Zhong Mingwei's serious face and thought that something terrible had happened. He quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and then hurriedly took paper and pen from the table, and said to Zhong Mingwei respectfully, "Your Majesty, that's enough, please give your orders."
"The coronation ceremony is fine, but the ceremony for crowning the empress must be grand and magnificent, and it must be more grand than the ceremony for crowning the empress in the previous dynasty," Zhong Mingwei continued seriously, "First of all, officials from other places do not have to attend my coronation ceremony, but those above the third rank must attend the ceremony for crowning the empress, and everyone must write a poem to praise the empress. Second, this phoenix robe and phoenix crown must be more magnificent than before..."
"Zhong Mingwei! Can you talk about something serious?" Mei Ya suddenly blushed and interrupted Zhong Mingwei, staring at him with shame and embarrassment, "What are you talking about? Is this something the emperor should say?! You just said that the coronation ceremony should be simple, and now you are forcing me to be extravagant!"
"What did I say that was not serious? Everything I said was serious," Zhong Mingwei frowned, thinking that Mei Ya was just being stingy with money again, and hurriedly explained to her, "How could it be extravagant? Girl, think about it, the coronation ceremony will be kept simple anyway, and the money saved can be used for your coronation ceremony. If it's not enough, don't we still have a private treasury?"
"Is it easy for me to save this little money? How can it afford your lavish spending?" Mei Ya continued to glare at him, "I don't care, the ceremony for the coronation must be the same as the coronation ceremony, everything must be kept simple, otherwise, I... I will not be the queen anymore! Think about it yourself!"
Chen Qingxuan looked at Mei Ya, then at Zhong Mingwei, and finally cast his gaze on the paper with several drops of ink. He then silently put down the brush and smiled at the two of them, saying, "How about we wait until Master and Madam have discussed this matter before discussing it?"
"Hmph! Who would discuss this with him? What a fool!" Mei Ya rolled her eyes at Zhong Mingwei and turned away angrily.
"Forget it!" Zhong Mingwei also turned his back and said, "Whatever you want!"
"Then I will take my leave first." Chen Qingxuan heard Zhong Mingwei was so angry that he was full of scum, and he wanted to run away immediately. He didn't want to stay and get involved in Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya's affairs. After following Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya for a long time, he also figured it out. Other couples would fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, but the two of them would stare at each other like fighting cocks at one moment and stick together like sticky candy at the next moment. He didn't want to stay and watch them become sticky candy again, even though the sweet and sour pork made by the chef tasted really good...
"Mr. Chen! Wait!" Mei Ya suddenly called out to Chen Qingxuan.
"Madam, do you have any other instructions?" Chen Qingxuan stopped and turned around.
"Take the sweet and sour pork back. Brother Kong must not have had lunch yet. It's just right for you to take it back and eat with him," Mei Ya said as she quickly took out the lunch box and put the sweet and sour pork into it. Seeing Zhong Mingwei glance at the table casually, she couldn't help but curl her lips, and then took the big casserole of pickled cabbage and pork ribs and put them into the lunch box. Sure enough, Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched. Mei Ya was so happy in her heart, but she tried not to smile. She closed the lunch box, handed it to Chen Qingxuan, and said, "Okay, go."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am!" Chen Qingxuan hurriedly took the lunch box and went downstairs.
For a while, only Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya were left in the imperial study. They turned their backs to each other and ignored each other. After a while, Zhong Mingwei finally spoke sourly: "Just now he was saying that he asked the chef to make these two dishes especially for me, but now he gave them to that sour scholar. I haven't even had two bites yet, hum..."
