"Hurry up! I've told you so many times that you don't have to kneel down so often in private," Meiya said hurriedly, pointing to an embroidery cushion at the side, "Move the embroidery cushion over here and sit on it."
But Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin did not move. They still knelt straight and silently, with serious looks on their faces. Seeing this, Mei Ya stopped talking for a while and just glanced at Zhong Mingwei. Zhong Mingwei shook his head gently at her, signaling her not to say too much. Mei Ya knew that she should not talk too much at this time, so she nodded hurriedly, waiting for Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin to speak first.
"Master, Madam," Kong Wenmin paused, raised his head, and said to the two of them solemnly, "Today, Qingxuan and I came to the palace to tell you something important."
"Go ahead." Zhong Mingwei nodded and said slowly.
"My Lord and Madam," Chen Qingxuan also raised his head, took a deep breath, and then said to the two, "Qingxuan came all the way from Ningguta to the capital. From a mere country scholar to the highest official now, he relied entirely on the cultivation and favor of my Lord and Madam. My Lord and Madam's kindness to Qingxuan is so great that Qingxuan will never be able to repay it even if he dies." Having said this, Chen Qingxuan paused, he glanced at Kong Wenmin beside him, and said, "Qingxuan will devote his whole life to my Lord and Madam, but now, Qingxuan has to do something that will damage my Lord and Madam's reputation, so I came here to apologize to my Lord and Madam!"
As he spoke, Chen Qingxuan kowtowed heavily to Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya, Kong Wenmin also kowtowed with him. Mei Ya felt very sorry to see them like this, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only watch in silence. When Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin finally stood up again, Mei Ya couldn't help but said, "I have never been a person who values face, so I may not take what you said to heart. But if you keep kowtowing like this, I will be angry."
"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!" Chen Qingxuan looked at Mei Ya's slightly frowned brows, and somehow he thought of Grandma Chen. Grandma Chen used to treat him like this. She didn't forgive him verbally, but she cared about him the most in her heart. At that moment, Chen Qingxuan felt a little sad. He took a breath and when he spoke again, he had regained his composure. "Qingxuan is willing to marry Wen Min. Although I know it is against human ethics, please agree, Master and Madam!"
Kong Wenmin hurriedly said solemnly: "I have lived for half my life, and finally met a soulmate. I really don't want to miss it. Now I just want to live an ordinary life with Qingxuan. Please agree, Master and Madam! If the court is affected by the marriage between me and Qingxuan, I and Qingxuan are willing to be exiled from the capital. No matter where I and Qingxuan are in the future, I will pray every day for you and Madam to live a long life and grow old together!"
"Why did you have to be sent out of the capital?" Zhong Mingwei said slowly, looking at the two people's faces that were first surprised and then excited. Zhong Mingwei couldn't help but sighed, "Wenmin, you have spent half your life for your family and your country, and you have spent so much effort that you have wasted so many years. How can I not be anxious for you?" Zhong Mingwei saw Kong Wenmin's nose twitching slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Kong Wenmin's shoulder, and then set his eyes on Chen Qingxuan, "And Qingxuan, you have studied hard for so many years and have acquired a lot of knowledge and abilities. Now even if you are young and proud and have a high position, this is what you deserve. Qingxuan, you are my right-hand man and my fellow apprentice, and also my brother-in-law. My wife has said that she doesn't care about face. Could it be that I, a grown man, would be so petty with my brother-in-law?"
"Yeah, what's the big deal? You're not the first couple like this since the beginning of time! Our Great Zhou has always been the most tolerant and inclusive, and the court will not tolerate only one side's opinion!" Mei Ya said hurriedly. She didn't know why she was a little excited. "Besides, with Ming Wei and I here, I don't think anyone dares to point fingers at you!"
