"Mingwei, it's not necessary." Meiya looked at the tenderness and care that could not be concealed in the man's eyes, and her heart was full of tenderness and sadness. "It's really not necessary."
She knew what Zhong Mingwei meant. She had been a slave since she was four years old. She had been a maid in the palace and had suffered so much. Although Zhong Mingwei had never asked about this, didn't he feel bad? Zhong Mingwei would feel more bad than she did, even guilty, so he never opened his mouth until today, when he ascended the throne and finally had the capital to open his mouth to her.
"Girl, don't worry. I have the final say in the Great Zhou now. No one will dare to interfere in your and my family affairs." Zhong Mingwei knew what Mei Ya was worried about, so he felt particularly sorry for the girl in his arms. He leaned over and kissed her soft lips, and said, "I will take advantage of the coronation ceremony to announce a decree to grant amnesty to the people. Even if your father-in-law and mother-in-law were once guilty and your brothers and sisters were implicated, as long as the amnesty is granted, all these past events will be wiped out. Girl, I will build a mausoleum and a temple for your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and let your brothers and sisters stay in the capital, so that they and their descendants can enjoy glory..."
"Mingwei, have you forgotten that I am from Ningguta, my last name is Zhong. Although my parents died young, they were honest farmers. How could they be criminals? And I am the only daughter in my family, how could I have brothers and sisters?" Meiya suddenly interrupted Zhong Mingwei, "Mingwei, if you want to build a mausoleum for your parents, that's fine. Just issue an imperial decree and order Lord Fang to build a mausoleum for your parents in Ningguta. As for other things, there's really no need."
"Really?" Zhong Mingwei was startled, then he understood what Mei Ya meant. He knew that what Mei Ya said was from the bottom of her heart, but he would rather it was not what Mei Ya really said. He continued to talk about his own reasons, trying to convince Mei Ya, "Girl, I know you are worried that once your identity is involved, it will definitely cause an uproar, but girl, don't worry, with me here, you will always have peace and tranquility. And girl, if your mother's brothers are in the court, your position will..."
"Mingwei, as long as you are the emperor, my position will be stable. I don't need my mother's family to help me," Meiya interrupted Zhong Mingwei. She held the man's face, raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhong Mingwei, and said provocatively, "Mingwei, you are so anxious to place my mother's family in the court. Don't you have no confidence in yourself and are afraid that you will be seduced by other women in the future? So can't you leave me a guarantee first?"
"You naughty little girl! What's the connection?" Zhong Mingwei was startled, then he couldn't help laughing. He rubbed Mei Ya's round nose, paused, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you always want to know your name? Why? Don't you want to know it now?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore," Meiya shook her head. "Since you gave me a name, I'm no longer curious about what my original name was." At this point, Meiya suddenly held the man's face and said seriously, word by word, "Mingwei, my life started when I arrived in Ningguta and met you."
Zhong Mingwei felt something was washing in his chest. He felt warm all over, but his nose was sore. He looked at the girl's clear eyes and couldn't help but kiss her. After a long while, he continued, "But I want to know your birthday. I also want to get up early on your birthday every year and make you a hot birthday noodle. I also want to calculate the date and prepare a surprise for my sweetheart in advance like other men do."
Meiya entered the palace as a maid at the age of four. She couldn't even remember her own name, so how could she remember her birthday? So Meiya never celebrated her birthday all these years. Later, when she went to Ningguta, Zhong Mingwei wanted to celebrate her birthday, but he didn't know the date, so he had to give up. Meiya felt regretful, and so did Zhong Mingwei.
