"I really forgot." Zhong Mingwei looked into Mei Ya's eyes. He was telling the truth. He had long forgotten about that cold and rainy early spring. In his memory, Ningguta had always been the warmest and most cozy place.
"That's good," Meiya suddenly smiled, rubbed the man's head against his, and said softly, "Actually, I forgot about it too."
"Okay, then let's forget about it all." Zhong Mingwei laughed along with her. The two of them were face to face, laughing like this, like a pair of harmonious immortals.
After combing her hair, the palace maid tactfully left. It was still early, so Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya stayed in the room and flirted with each other.
"Girl, sing a little song for me," Zhong Mingwei begged, "I haven't heard you sing for quite some time."
"Didn't you call Le Ji to sing in the palace yesterday?" Mei Ya took a sip of tea and said, "I think it's very elegant, much better than the messy and unpresentable ones I heard outside the palace before."
"I just like to listen to the messy and unpresentable things. If I don't listen to them for a few days, I will feel uncomfortable all over," Zhong Mingwei was still begging, with a scoundrel look on his face, "Please help me, madam!"
"Where did you learn this set of lecherous behavior?" Mei Ya couldn't help laughing. She gently traced Zhong Mingwei's eyebrows with her fingertips, looked at the twin lotuses on his phoenix robe, and then sang softly, "Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan. The lotus leaves are so lush. Fish play among the lotus leaves. Fish play on the lotus leaves in the east, fish play on the lotus leaves in the west, fish play on the lotus leaves in the south, fish play on the lotus leaves in the north..."
After the song was over, Meiya looked at the man's slightly stiff face and couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong? Do you think my singing is not nice to listen to?"
"No," Zhong Mingwei paused, then smiled, but it was a bit forced. "Why do you like singing this song so much? You also loved singing it when you were in Ningguta."
"What's the reason? Just sing more if you like it," Mei Ya said casually, checking her makeup in the mirror while humming softly, "Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan, the lotus leaves are so lush..."
Zhong Mingwei stood up silently, looked at Mei Ya's slightly gloomy face, then walked out.
"Where are you going?" Mei Ya asked.
"I'll go to the kitchen to see if breakfast is ready," Zhong Mingwei took a deep breath, and when he turned around, his face was already full of smiles, "Now Madam has to feed three mouths, and we can't let Madam go hungry."
"Then go quickly," Meiya waved at him busily. She was really a little hungry. "Remember to ask the cook to make me a bowl of whitebait soup."
"Got it." Zhong Mingwei responded hurriedly, then went out. As soon as he walked out of the door, facing the pale sky, Zhong Mingwei took a deep breath and exhaled it all.
…
Chen time.
The ceremony of conferring the title of Queen.
Because Mei Ya was pregnant and could not work hard, all the steps that could be saved were omitted. Therefore, the ceremony of enthroning the queen was not a grand one. However, despite this, the number of ministers and soldiers who attended the ceremony was the largest in history.
Compared with the former empresses who came from noble families, Mei Ya, who came from common people, had much higher reputation and prestige. Many loyal ministers in the court, such as Chen Qingxuan, Kong Wenmin, Pang Yi, etc., had followed Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya since Ningguta. They had deep feelings for Mei Ya and were even as close to her as family. In addition, Hao Dongqing and other generals had followed Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya all the way to attack the capital and conquer the world. They were even more loyal to Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya, so they had to be present at the ceremony of enthroning the queen. Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials and generals, Mei Ya walked slowly hand in hand with Zhong Mingwei.
Yes, Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya came hand in hand. Unlike the empress coronation ceremonies in previous dynasties, the empress walked respectfully towards the emperor. Instead, the emperor and the empress walked hand in hand. Some people said that the emperor sympathized with the hardships of the empress's pregnancy, so he condescended to accompany the empress through this journey. Others said that the emperor and the empress were a couple who shared hardships, and the emperor valued the empress who came from a commoner family. There were many different opinions, but no one dared to mention the phrase "hens crowing at dawn" anymore.
