The emperor didn't know what to say. He wanted to say that it wasn't necessary to go to such lengths, as disaster relief efforts in various places were fraught with danger, and who knew what might happen?
“Nothing can be obtained easily. Any acquisition requires a corresponding price. This world belongs to our royal family. Father, you must have worked very hard to manage the affairs of the country all these years. Your son wants to share the burden with Father and do something for the people of the world so that the Great Jin Dynasty can be at peace as soon as possible.”
It was rare for Xingxing to speak with such a serious tone beyond her years. At this moment, she didn't look like a six-year-old child, but rather like a person in a position of power who had experienced many storms.
The emperor closed his eyes tightly for a moment, feeling as if he had misread and misheard. His princess was still a child, yet she could speak such profound truths. It seemed that she had indeed suffered a lot during her two years of wandering among the common people, which had also made her grow up quickly. It was precisely because she had lived in a difficult environment that she could better understand the hardships of ordinary people.
With the world and its people in mind.
As if knowing what the emperor was thinking, Xingxing smiled and reached out her small, jade-white hand to pat the emperor's hand. "Father, I have been different from ordinary people since I was born, as you know. I know what I am doing, so don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
The emperor was taken aback. He recalled the strange phenomena that occurred when the princess was born, and the years before she was four years old when the country was at peace, with no natural disasters, no refugees, and no riots.
His princess was a lucky star for the Great Jin Dynasty, and the emperor's eyes lit up.
Xingxing gave the emperor a mysterious look, as if to say, "Don't worry, as long as she takes action, everything will be resolved."
After persuading the emperor, Xingxing then worked on the empress's mindset. She had indeed seen some images of natural disasters. Although she had returned and the disasters in various places had eased somewhat, they were not over immediately.
If she does nothing and just waits for the favor of Heaven, then it is unknown how long it will be before the world is at peace. If she is willing to share some of her fortune, then the world will be stable much faster.
This process was destined to be dangerous, arduous, and difficult, but she had Brother Lin by her side. The boy had said that no matter what happened, he would always be by her side. Xingxing thought that the boy was so capable, so she decided to take him to the disaster relief effort. Although it was a bit unfair, he was the only person she trusted and was most capable of right now.
Another point is that staying in the palace wasn't so happy. She was younger before, so she didn't feel it.
Now that she's grown up and become more sensible, the strict rules of the palace make her uncomfortable. If she stays in the palace for too long, she's afraid she'll develop health problems and eventually run out of breath. She'd rather go out and travel around, bringing her good fortune to people everywhere, so that everyone can benefit from her good fortune.
Okay, actually she wasn't great or selfless. She just didn't want to be trapped in the palace, spending all her time in one place. She wanted to go out and experience the beauty of the world.
The idea of sharing some of her fortune was something she made up herself. If she didn't say that, how could her father and mother have agreed to let her go? Her father and mother were worried about the people, so if she persuaded them a little more, they would reluctantly agree for the sake of the people.
"But will something happen to you, Long'er? Your mother doesn't want anything to happen to you. If it means sacrificing you for the peace of the people, your mother would rather you be well. You are my only child." The Empress burst into tears, finding it hard to accept the thought of having to separate from her daughter again after just finding her.
"Mother, don't cry. Your son will write to you and come back to see you whenever he has time. Once the world is at peace, your son will stay by your side and not go anywhere else."
Xingxing was a little uneasy when she said this. She was afraid that she would be even less used to life in the palace. She was used to being out and about and wouldn't be able to stay at home.
But we'll deal with the future later. She should be able to control her temper when she's older.
“Brother Lin and his senior brothers and sisters will also accompany me. With them around, no one can harm me. Mother knows how capable they are, doesn’t she?” Xingxing patiently explained to the Empress.
Sigh, there are so many rules in the palace. Every time she speaks, she has to call him "Father" and "Mother" and refer to herself as "your subject." It's quite tiring.
"Isn't there any other way to solve this? Do you have to personally go to various places to suppress all kinds of natural disasters?" The Empress hugged Xingxing's small body, and started crying again after saying a few words.
Xingxing's big, round eyes blinked, and she said in a soft voice, "There shouldn't be any. Mother, look at these years, Father has been so diligent in disaster relief, yet there hasn't been any significant improvement. The few years after I was born were indeed a few years of peace."
But after my misfortune, the world descended into chaos again. It seems only I can somewhat quell these natural disasters. Although this is merely my speculation, I wish to try. If it proves ineffective, I will return and cease my futile efforts.
The Emperor and Empress were unaware that Xingxing possessed precognitive abilities. This was mainly because during the four years Xingxing spent in the palace, apart from her young age, the country was peaceful and nothing major happened, so she never experienced any precognitive images.
Her precognitive abilities only truly came into play after she was kidnapped and various dangers arose.
In short, after Xingxing's persuasive words, the emperor and empress finally agreed to her decision, but she could only leave after the snow melted after the New Year.
Furthermore, they would bring a group of secret guards with them, as the emperor and empress did not want to suffer the blow of the princess being kidnapped and missing again.
When Zhu Lin learned of this, he was quite surprised. He never expected that this soft and cute little girl would be so cunning, capable of making up stories to deceive people, and that she would make up her own plans without consulting him first.
