Mei Ya couldn't help but smile, but she didn't say it in her voice: "What about you? You always said that you would discuss everything with me, but did you discuss the ceremony of the coronation with me? You must turn an ugly girl from a village into a scourge queen before you are satisfied?"
"Why is it ugly? Where is it ugly?" Zhong Mingwei was angry. He stood up with a frown, walked to Mei Ya's side, and shamelessly squeezed in to sit down. While holding the girl's angry face, he muttered, "Whoever dares to say you are ugly, I will teach him a lesson!"
"I have a husband as majestic as you, so naturally no one dares to say that I'm ugly, but I don't want others to talk about me in other ways," Mei Ya said softly, wrapping her arms around Zhong Mingwei's sturdy waist, and said, "Compared to being called a scourge enchantress or a seductive monarch, I would rather be called an ugly woman! What's wrong with being a little ugly? It means you're not a tyrant who judges people by appearance and is obsessed with beauty!"
"What are you talking about? I just want to give you a grand coronation ceremony. Why are there so many rules and regulations?" Zhong Mingwei still didn't give up. He leaned over and kissed the girl's red lips, and said softly, "When we got married, we couldn't afford a big wedding. The wedding dress you wore was made from cloth bought from a roadside clothing store for less than two taels of silver. Girl, I remember it all in my heart. I feel sad every time I think about it."
"Then you should also remember what I care about and what I don't care about," Mei Ya said softly, pressing her forehead against the man's. "Zhong Mingwei, I know what you are thinking. I have a bad background and am the descendant of a criminal. Even though Lord Fang changed my identity later, I am just a village girl. Now, although I have returned to the capital full of nobles and wealthy families thanks to your help and have become the queen, you are still worried that others will look down on me, so you think of ways to be nice to me so that others dare not despise me in the slightest. You even want to hold a grand ceremony to crown me queen, so that everyone in the world knows that I, the queen, have won the heart of the emperor. Mingwei, I know why you are so painstaking, but Mingwei, this cannot change the fact that I was originally a village girl. Moreover, I don't think this needs to be changed. The Great Zhou Dynasty is of course not short of queens of noble birth, but it is short of a queen who is of humble birth but neither humble nor arrogant. Mingwei, don't you think so?"
"Yes, we just need someone like you," Zhong Mingwei said softly. He completely understood what Meiya meant and was completely relieved. It was just as Meiya said. He was worried that in this imperial city where only the rich and powerful could be found, Meiya's life experience would become a laughing stock for others. He could not stand this, so he would do anything he could for Meiya, even if it was against the rules and etiquette. In his eyes, Meiya was more important than anything else. But because Meiya meant so much to him, he had forgotten that what Meiya cherished most was not these, but that she could live in peace and contentment in this imperial city as before. He rubbed Meiya's round and upturned nose and said with a smile, "It's just that girl, what you said just now was wrong."
"What?" Meiya was startled. "Which sentence?"
"I try my best to be good to you, not because I'm afraid that others will look down on you, so I'm just pretending," Zhong Mingwei said softly, word by word. "Girl, I treat you well because you are my wife, Zhong Mingwei, the one I want to hug to sleep every night and kiss when I wake up in the morning."
"I read the memorials written by those old men in their seventies and eighties in the court all day long, but how can I see such a lecherous person? He would say something sour every now and then," Mei Ya felt so sweet in her heart that she couldn't help laughing when she said this. She pouted her lips and kissed him again, smiling, "Have you finished reviewing all the memorials today?"
"I've finished reviewing it," Zhong Mingwei held her neck, not letting her leave, and smiled as he pursed his lips, "Why? Madam, do you have any plans?"
