"It is against etiquette." After a long silence, the emperor could only utter these four words. This was his most beloved princess. If any other prince or princess dared to speak to him like that, let's see what happens.
"It's all about etiquette again. There are so many rules in the palace, it's really tiring. I'm not used to it at all," Xingxing said with a serious expression.
"Long'er, Father..." The emperor was still trying to persuade her.
Xingxing waved her hand dismissively, "Father, you don't need to say anything more. I understand. From now on, I'll tell Brother Lin not to come to the palace to see me anymore. Instead, I'll go out of the palace to see him."
"Long'er, that's not what your father meant. You've finally come back, why do you keep thinking about leaving the palace?" The emperor was displeased.
"Father also said that there are many rules in the palace. I'm used to being free outside, and I'm not used to coming back. Besides, there's not much for me to do in the palace, so I might as well go out and do something meaningful," Xingxing said earnestly.
Seeing that she wasn't joking, the emperor frowned and gently advised, "If you don't want to learn the rules now, you can wait until after the New Year. Your father won't force you. But you can't keep thinking about leaving the palace."
"Your Majesty, I am not leaving the palace to play. I am going to do something important. The world is not at peace right now, and there are disasters everywhere. Therefore, everyone in the palace is also having a hard time. Whether it is Your Majesty or the concubines, they all have to tighten their belts."
But no matter how frugal we are, we cannot withstand the frequent natural disasters. Therefore, after careful consideration, I have made a decision: I will go to various places to provide disaster relief, and encourage the people in the disaster areas to plant sweet potatoes and corn so that they can have enough to eat, and so that the world can be stabilized and peaceful as soon as possible.
The emperor was deeply moved, but he also felt that these were just childish words from the princess. She was so young; how could she possibly be at the forefront of disaster relief?
"Your father understands your intentions. Just stay in the palace and don't worry too much. Your father will find a way to resolve the current situation as soon as possible," the emperor said, sounding somewhat uncertain.
With a serious expression, Xingxing patted the emperor's shoulder and said earnestly, "Your subject's mind is made up. Father, please don't think I'm joking. Father has said that I am the lucky star of the Great Jin Dynasty and the lucky star of all people. I also hope that I am the lucky star. I want to do what I can for the people of the world."
It's not that she's just being nosy or looking for trouble. She'll only be seven years old after the New Year, yet she has to shoulder a heavier responsibility than most people. It's all because she has precognitive abilities.
These past few days, images have been appearing in her mind from time to time. She saw disasters in many villages and cities, with many people dying, and those who lost their loved ones crying so bitterly and sadly.
Seeing that scene deeply saddened her, keeping her awake at night. She vaguely understood it was a sign, a preordained responsibility because of her abilities; she had to fulfill her mission.
Besides, she is no ordinary person; she is a princess of the Great Jin Dynasty and should be concerned about the well-being of the people.
