"Zhong Meiya! I'm warning you! Don't bargain with me!" Zhong Mingwei was almost going crazy. He slapped the pillow hard and said, "Don't just take one acre! Don't just take two acres! If you want to plant, then you have to plant at least ten acres! If the Imperial Garden can't hold all the crops, then you can plant some melons and beans in the Summer Resort as well!"
Mei Ya's mouth twitched: "...Mingwei, are you going to tire me to death? The dignified Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty was treated like a cow and a horse all day long, and finally died of overwork in the fields. If this gets out, Zhong Mingwei, do you know how bad your reputation will be?"
The corners of Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched even more: "...Shut up!"
Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei's deflated look and couldn't help but smiled with her lips pursed. She lay down and hugged Zhong Mingwei and started to nibble on him. Zhong Mingwei was arrogant at first and refused to let her nibble on him, but he couldn't resist Mei Ya's enthusiasm, so Zhong Mingwei let Mei Ya nibble on him helplessly. In the end, Mei Ya stopped nibbling and he was the only one left holding her, using his hands and feet to twist the girl like a candy.
"You are just trying to make me anxious," Zhong Mingwei was unhappy, mumbling in grievance, "You were not like this before, an honest little girl who obeyed me in everything. Now you have become a bad girl, full of bad things in your mind, and you are always thinking of ways to tease me."
"I'm not teasing you, I just like you." Mei Ya held the man's face, staring at him with clear eyes without blinking, gently stroking the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "Ming Wei, didn't you just ask me whether I like you in the past or in the present?"
Zhong Mingwei looked at Mei Ya's expression and immediately became a little nervous. In fact, he didn't know why he was nervous, but he couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly. He pursed his lips and whispered, "So when did you like me?"
"You used to be like an unattainable firework to me, distant, mysterious and charming. Of course I like you," Mei Ya said softly. As she spoke, her nose rubbed against the man's nose. The two were so close that their breaths blended together. "Now you are a part of my body. You are my hands, my feet, my eyes, and even more important than these." As she spoke, Mei Ya leaned forward and pressed her red lips against the man's slightly dry lips. "You are everything to me. Do you think I like you?"
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything else. He moved forward and kissed the girl's lips.
"Girl, in addition to the two acres of land, I will give you a gift tonight." After the kiss, Mei Ya rested her head on the man's arm, breathing softly, and listened to the man say this.
"What gift..." Meiya raised her head and asked. Before she could finish her sentence, the man turned over and pressed down on her. Before she could even scream, the man had pulled the quilt over to cover them both tightly.
…
The twenty-second day of the first lunar month in the first year of Tianding.
Imperial study.
As soon as the morning court was over, Zhong Mingwei returned to the imperial study and Pang Yi arrived right after.
"Sir, this is the list of people nominated from all over the country to come to the capital to take part in the military examination. Please take a look." Pang Yi bowed and handed over the list in his hand.
In previous years, the martial arts examination was held in March. This year's examination is scheduled for the 24th day of the first lunar month, which is the day after tomorrow.
Zhong Mingwei scanned the list and frowned as he said, "It looks like the number of people is more than half less than in previous years."
"Yes, this time the military examination was held two months earlier than in previous years, so of course some people were not well prepared and could not make it to the capital," Pang Yi explained hurriedly, "but more importantly, this is the first military examination since His Majesty ascended the throne, and His Majesty will be there to observe in person. The emperor values it so much, so naturally the local government offices know how serious it is, and they dare not fool around like they did in previous years. So those people who are trying to fill in the numbers will naturally not dare to send them to the capital anymore. With His Majesty personally in charge, those people in the capital who are waiting to use connections to get their sons into the army will naturally not dare to have any crooked thoughts."
