The moment Qin Qianluo spoke softly and curiously, 001 seemed to be instantly injected with super power.
The phoenix's body, which was originally radiant with light, was now emitting a dark blue glow. The light flickered rapidly, and the data began to operate at high speed.
A faint buzzing sound emanated from the electrical current, like a battle song signaling a full-scale attack.
It seems to transform into the most dedicated historian traversing the long river of history, devoting all its computing power and focusing intently on plunging into the vast and complex torrent of information.
After all, Luo Bao has always been carefree, unrestrained, and quirky. It's rare for it to become interested in something, so in its heart, that's its top priority.
Therefore, it quickly organized information about Ning Shuyao, determined to immerse Luo Bao in it, make sure she understood the cause and effect, and left satisfied.
As for whether it might have touched any hidden minefields, it said that at the moment it only has one thing to do: to take care of Luo Bao's rare curiosity in every way possible.
Over here, Ning Shuyao stood gracefully in the Golden Palace, a faint smile on her lips and her eyes full of expectation.
He eagerly awaited the end of the long morning court session so he could fetch his mother back to the palace to celebrate the New Year with her, as his mother had urged him to come back many times.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Qin Qianluo inquire about 001's affairs, a chilling aura swept over him in an instant.
The radiant smile on her face, as bright as spring blossoms, seemed to be frozen by a magic spell, as if the warm spring sun had been suddenly obscured by thick, dark clouds.
Even that lively, playful, and expectant look vanished, leaving only a stiff and bewildered expression.
She inwardly felt a sense of foreboding. Could it be that she was going to follow in her elder brother's footsteps and reminisce about that past event with the other officials? That would be quite embarrassing.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Ning Shuyao's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, her carefully manicured nails turned slightly white, and her gaze quickly fell on Qin Qianluo, who was bowing her head slightly.
Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, a sudden surge of intense impulse arose within him, a desire to scoop the person up and quickly leave this golden palace.
However, when her gaze met the Emperor's, she took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the impulse.
She kept mentally preparing herself, repeating to herself at a rapid pace: "Forget it, forget it. That incident back then caused quite a stir and caused a huge uproar."
Who in the capital doesn't know this? Although most of the versions circulating are fabrications and distortions by that unfaithful man, this isn't the first time he's lost face.
It's nothing more than this in front of the court officials. Now that I'm the eldest princess, why should I be afraid of these rumors?
By repeatedly reassuring herself, Ning Shuyao's wildly beating heart gradually calmed down, her tense nerves relaxed, and she regained her composure and calmness. Her demeanor became more dignified and steady, as if the panic from before had never happened.
Yes, so many years have passed. Those embarrassing past events are like stubborn rocks repeatedly washed by rain, or like a cup of bitter wine brewed by time.
Looking back, although there is still some bitterness, the unforgettable pain of the past is gone, leaving only a sense of calm and tranquility.
Meanwhile, 001 had sorted through the data. Even though it was just a string of data, looking at the past presented on the screen now, it seemed as if it had been infused with human emotions.
Unable to contain his righteous indignation, he felt compelled to stand up for the injustice suffered by the Princess back then.
Those slanderous rumors, each and every one of them, were like sharp thorns, piercing the princess's flawless reputation.
And those dark, hopeless days, filled with grievances, when I could only silently shed tears under the cold moonlight at night, were even more heartbreaking.
It opened the light screen so that Qin Qianlu could see it, and then began to tell the story: "Luo Bao, the princess's husband is named Jiang Ling. Back then, he was a renowned scholar in the capital."
Not only was he eloquent and eloquent, but he was also exceptionally handsome, as if he were a celestial being descended to earth.
He overcame numerous obstacles and, with his vast knowledge, shone brightly in the imperial examinations, successfully obtaining official rank and entering the court as an official. Later, he had the opportunity to attend a banquet in the palace.
Who would have thought that on his first time attending a palace banquet, he would fall in love at first sight with the still-naive Princess Ning Shuyao.
At that time, the eldest princess had just come of age and was in the prime of her youth. She was as beautiful and radiant as a spring flower blooming on a branch, exuding a noble and dignified air unique to royalty. Moreover, she was not engaged.
Even today, as time goes by, the princess's beauty remains undiminished, demonstrating just how stunningly beautiful she was back then.
Jiang Ling was completely captivated by that one fleeting glance, as if he had been chosen by the red thread of fate, and secretly vowed to marry the princess.
The eldest princess was young and naive at the time, and had never seen such a scene before. Growing up in the palace, she was surrounded by well-behaved palace maids and eunuchs, and dignified and courteous members of the royal family.
Faced with Jiang Ling, such a handsome and charming scholar, she was naturally powerless against his sweet words and attentive advances.
Over time, feelings began to grow between them, and the princess's heart quietly fell for Jiang Ling.
However, the late emperor initially strongly opposed this marriage. Firstly, Jiang Ling's family was poor, and he only had his widowed mother to rely on.
The late emperor doted on his only daughter, so naturally he was extremely reluctant to let his pampered princess marry into the Jiang family and live a life of hardship.
Secondly, the late emperor already had someone in mind, namely Luo Bao's uncle, the renowned martial arts champion Lin Jincheng.
Originally, the late emperor had already discussed this matter carefully with Luo Bao's maternal grandfather, Lin Mufeng, and Luo Bao's maternal grandfather had also revealed this matter to Lin Jincheng.
