Now that Luo'er has told 001 so firmly that she will always stay by her and the master's side, she is very happy and blessed. Ever since she learned about Luo'er's past life and that she was the mother that 001 carefully selected for Luo'er, she only wants to pamper and protect Luo'er, and has no other thoughts.
Qin Qianlu didn't notice anything unusual around her. After having 001 print out the things about marriage, she told 001 to throw away those storybooks and to read less of them in the future. Then she focused on watching the song and dance performance.
When the Emperor received the message from the secret guards, he was also alarmed. He couldn't help but think that it was fortunate that his princesses were still young and that he hadn't married his mother's cousin back then, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do now. He waited for the little girl from the Qin family to give the note to Prime Minister Qin so that he could draft laws and regulations and promote them as soon as possible.
After the banquet, the ladies of the house were busy. Many postponed their weddings, and many separated their daughters from their nephews. Everyone was very busy.
To everyone's surprise, after hearing Princess Qingyun's heartfelt words, not only did the lifespans of their descendants generally increase, but their daughters also did not have any of the minor ailments they had, and remained healthy throughout their lives. The chances of their children surviving also increased significantly, and there were very few infant deaths.
After returning home, Qin Qianluo threw the note into her father's study, then went back to her own courtyard to read. In her mind, she crossed the Minister's Mansion off the list and prepared to move on to the next mansion.
The ladies of each household also exchanged ideas privately. They decided not to do it too frequently and instead selected a few potential residences for the banquets. These ladies were all well-read and intelligent, and they quickly compiled a list to prepare a pretext for the banquets.
Actually, there were quite a few banquets to begin with, such as flower viewing banquets and tea tasting banquets, but these usually didn't attract Princess Qingyun. So everyone focused on birthday banquets, which kept the old ladies of each household very busy. It was quite helpless that their birthdays were being celebrated early, but they had no choice but to cooperate in order to find the spies.
Of course, there are also poetry club banquets where invitations can be sent to Princess Qingyun, since she is said to be very talented. If Qin Qianluo knew what these ladies and young women were thinking, she would definitely say, "It's not that I'm talented, it's that the ancient poets are talented; I'm just reciting their poems."
A few days later, the betrothal letter from Lin Fu, the Minister of Justice, arrived at the Qin residence. Qin Qianluo once again accompanied her mother to attend the birthday banquet of Old Madam Lin. Lin Fu was considered a relative, but it had been a long time since then. In fact, Qin Qianluo should call Old Madam Lin her maternal grandmother, but the relationship was no longer within the five degrees of kinship. Now, she only needed to address her as "Old Madam."
Qin Qianlu followed her mother to the residence of the Minister of Justice. Everyone bowed and greeted her, and Qin Qianlu responded to them with elegance, her back straight. Although she was not very tall, she had the dignity of a princess.
After the round, Qin Qianluo was actually a little tired. When no one was paying attention, she secretly massaged her waist and drank a cup of spiritual spring water, which made her feel much better.
At this moment, Madam Lin also hurried over and went straight to Qin Qianluo. She bowed slightly and said, "This old lady greets Your Highness, Princess. Your Highness is of noble birth, and your presence today is truly an honor to our humble abode. This old lady wishes Your Highness good health, longevity, and all the best."
Qin Qianluo quickly helped Old Madam Lin up, saying, "Old Madam, please rise. You are an elder, and such formality makes this princess uneasy. I have long admired your virtuous reputation, and meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed a kind, gentle, and blessed person."
She then summoned her personal maid to bring up the birthday gift. Before coming, Qin Qianluo had specifically inquired about Madam Lin and learned that Madam Lin usually liked to worship Buddha. So she found a red sandalwood screen in her space as a birthday gift. The screen was also carved with cranes, which also symbolize longevity. Red sandalwood also has a calming and soothing fragrance, making it a perfect birthday gift.
Qin Qianlu smiled and said, "This princess has come today specifically to celebrate the old lady's birthday. The old lady enjoys good health and longevity, and her virtuous reputation is widely known. She is truly a blessing to the entire household and a source of respect for all. This princess has brought a red sandalwood screen with her. This screen is made of precious red sandalwood, with a warm and smooth texture and a subtle fragrance. The aroma can have a calming and soothing effect. It is carved with a pine and crane motif, symbolizing longevity. The cranes are graceful, and the pines are strong and upright, signifying long life and good fortune. May the birthday celebrant be like the pine and crane on this screen, enjoying good health and longevity, free from worries, and filled with joy and blessings on her birthday."
Madam Lin had seen many fine objects, but this was the first time she had seen such fine red sandalwood. It was truly rare. After expressing her gratitude, she instructed her personal maid to put away the red sandalwood screen. Looking at Princess Qingyun, her smile became even more genuine. This Princess Qingyun was indeed extraordinary. Judging from the expression of the Left Prime Minister's wife, it shouldn't be a birthday gift prepared by the Prime Minister's residence. It seemed that Princess Qingyun had a profound background.
Moreover, even in front of so many people, she could still make everyone who spoke to her feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. To possess such ability at such a young age, Princess Qingyun was destined for greatness. Old Madam Lin silently observed Qin Qianluo's every move, growing more and more fond of her, her smile deepening.
