"I'm not in a hurry about this. When he has someone he likes, he will tell us naturally. We can arrange a marriage for him then," Meiya said, leaning forward and frowning at Xiao An and Gu Qingtong. "He is only a ten-year-old child now. What can he understand? If we arrange a marriage for him early, and he grows up and despises the girl, but is too embarrassed to ask us to cancel the engagement, wouldn't that let him and the girl down for the rest of their lives?"
"Madam, what you said is absolutely right. Other matters are fine, but as parents, we should not interfere in our children's marriages," Xiao An nodded. "We are all experienced people, and we know that marriages cannot be forced. Although we, as parents, hope for the best for our children, we cannot force them."
"In fact, I think the princess and Young Master He are a good match," Gu Qingtong suddenly said, "Young Master He always takes extra care of the princess, and the princess is also willing to listen to Young Master He. They are just like a pair of childhood sweethearts."
"That's true," Meiya suddenly sat up straight, staring, "The reason why I didn't want to arrange a marriage for Siwen was actually because I couldn't bear to do it. No matter which girl I looked at, I felt that she was not worthy of our Siwen. But why didn't I think of keeping Siwen as my son-in-law? Fortunately, Qingtong reminded me!"
"I think we should just forget it. Siwen and Tiantian are obviously brother and sister. They should just get along as brother and sister forever. Instead of recruiting Siwen as a son-in-law, it makes us seem like we have been raising Siwen as a child husband all along," Zhong Mingwei was not very enthusiastic. He peeled melon seeds leisurely and said slowly, "Besides, Siwen is much older than Tiantian. He is four years older!" At this point, Zhong Mingwei couldn't help but show four fingers and said to the crowd, "A full four years difference! Siwen can read and write, but Tiantian is still drinking milk from her wet nurse. Siwen can ride and shoot, but Tiantian can just walk. Siwen is about to establish his own palace and be crowned a king, but Tiantian is still playing in the mud! Tsk tsk tsk, they say there is a generation gap every three years. I don't think Siwen and Tiantian will have a good relationship."
"There's a generation gap between three years old?" Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei with disdain, "Then there's a gap between you and me, isn't there?"
Zhong Mingwei couldn't hide his embarrassment: "...We are talking about the children. Why are you bringing me up for no reason?"
"Humph!" Mei Ya glared at him, took a sip of milk tea, and waved to Gu Qingtong, "Forget it, I won't worry about it."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Chen, Commander Kong, and General Jilin and his wife have entered the palace! They have already passed the Jingyun Gate!" Everyone was chatting casually when they saw a palace servant hurried in to report.
"Please come in!" Everyone stood up and went out to greet them. Mei Ya ran to the small kitchen to check on the banquet preparations. It was a rare opportunity for them to get together, so they naturally wanted to eat and drink to their heart's content.
"Sir! Madam!" Kong Wenjie entered Jingren Palace first. As soon as he saw Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya, he rubbed his hands excitedly. He hurried forward, knelt down and said, "Your Highness! I greet the Queen! I wish you both good health!"
"Come on, Wenjie, get up quickly," Zhong Mingwei leaned over and helped Kong Wenjie up. He looked Kong Wenjie up and down, patted his arm with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become stronger and more stable."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind to praise me. I don't deserve it," Kong Wenjie said with a smile, showing his two rows of white teeth, and then said to Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya, "Your Majesty is still as elegant as before, and the queen is still as kind and easy-going as before."
"Wen Jie, you missed something," Mei Ya said with a smile, "My cooking skills haven't fallen behind at all. You'll have to taste my cooking skills later."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am!" Kong Wenjie was busy bowing deeply to Meiya again. Hearing footsteps coming from behind him, Kong Wenjie turned around and went to greet them. He saw Fang Chengyin coming in with a child in her arms, followed by Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin. Kong Wenjie hurried over and took the child from Fang Chengyin's arms.
