Zhong Mingwei couldn't help laughing when he heard the bitterness in her tone: "What do you mean two grown men like us stay in the study all day? Aren't you also staying with An all day and refusing to come out?"
"That's different. I'm teaching Sister An how to embroider. It's a serious thing." Mei Ya said busy.
The corner of Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched: "...So you think Pang Yi and I are doing something improper?"
"Haha!" Mei Ya was startled, then she laughed and reached out to pinch Zhong Mingwei's face, which looked hopeless. She laughed a little embarrassedly and a little cunningly, "Then who knows?"
"You naughty little girl!" Zhong Mingwei was so angry and loving. He immediately held Meiya's face and kissed her. Meiya screamed and laughed when he kissed her. After a long time, Zhong Mingwei finally let Meiya go and explained. "It's nothing serious. It's just that something happened in the South Xinjiang camp. Pang Yi is worried. He came to me to talk about it."
"Southern Xinjiang?" Mei Ya was startled. "The Southern Xinjiang camp led by your uncle Xu Chengjin?"
Zhong Mingwei had mentioned Xu Chengjin to Meiya before, and even if Zhong Mingwei hadn't mentioned it, Meiya had heard of Xu Chengjin. After all, he was the nephew of the Queen Mother. He was also the famous General Zhennan. Even if Meiya wanted to know, it was impossible.
"Yes," Zhong Mingwei nodded. "The situation in Chengzi's southern Xinjiang camp is a little unsettled. I'm afraid something bad is about to happen."
Zhong Mingwei didn't like to talk about these things with Meiya before. He didn't want Meiya to worry about him. Besides, he was just a commoner now, and even he didn't like to talk about these things. But after getting married, he didn't avoid these things anymore, and he didn't hide them from Meiya. Since they had agreed to share life and death, if he kept it hidden, it would be looking down on Meiya.
"What happened?" Mei Ya was a little nervous when she heard this. She hurriedly supported herself on the couch and sat up. She pulled Zhong Mingwei's arm and asked nervously, "Will it implicate you?"
"No," Zhong Mingwei smiled and patted Meiya's hand, signaling him not to be nervous. He reached out and took a plate of grapes from the table, peeled the grapes, and stuffed the grapes into Meiya's mouth. "It's just that my two subordinates might have been implicated. I don't know what the situation is now."
At that moment, Zhong Mingwei briefly told Mei Ya about the matter of Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang.
"You actually have two such powerful subordinates?" Mei Ya stared at Zhong Mingwei, "I thought Pang Yi was powerful enough, but I didn't expect that compared with those two, Pang Yi is just a small fry."
"Don't let him hear this," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile. He reached out his hand and let Mei Ya spit the grape seeds into his palm. He added, "Actually, in terms of martial arts, Pang Yi has always been the best, but in terms of literary and military strategy, Chi Chongyuan is the best, and Cheng Xiangyang is also smart, so I asked them to sneak into the Nanjiang camp that year."
"So, after all, Pang Yi just didn't eat enough walnuts!" Mei Ya insisted, tilting her head and saying, "But why did you let them sneak into the Southern Frontier Camp? The Xu family is your mother's family, they will naturally support you to take the position with all their strength. Naturally, the Southern Frontier Camp is also the power behind you, so why do you need to sneak your men in?"
"If my mother were here, the Xu family would naturally be the power behind me. But when my mother is not here, my father is even colder to me. Who in the Xu family is easy to fool? They are afraid that I, the eldest son, will fall one day. Not only will I not be able to carry forward the Xu family, but I will also implicate their century-old family. So, the queen mother loves me, but she loves me only so much. The Xu family wants to help me to the throne, but they never allow me to reach too far. So, I, the eldest son, did not have any power until I was canonized as the crown prince. Unlike the second prince, who has the Cui family's help and later a relative from the Zou family, and even less like the third and fourth princes, who have the huge Zhao family behind them and Concubine Zhao to add luster to him in front of my father, I am really a nobody. This eldest son of the emperor is really living a miserable life," Zhong Mingwei said lightly. In the past, when he thought of the old things, he always felt that he was holding back his breath, feeling miserable and depressed. But now that he said it to Mei Ya, the anger that had accumulated in his heart was gone, and he didn't feel miserable anymore. He just said it lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business. "If they don't give it to me, then I can only get it myself. Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang are the secret guards I trained myself. They are loyal to me and have the talent to lead troops, so I sent them to the Nanjiang camp. Later, Pang Yi also went there. One reason was that I needed to show my loyalty to the Xu family, and the other was to cooperate with Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang. Over the years, Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang have been able to do so smoothly in the Nanjiang camp, and Pang Yi really made an indelible contribution to this."
