The emperor also heard the singing and paused in his discussion with his ministers, listening intently to the young girl from the Qin family sing. The ministers present also listened quietly.
Qin Qianlu hummed the lyrics, her expression slightly melancholy: "Only by closing my eyes can I dream endlessly... Vows faded, love's mist merely passed by, let me walk gracefully through the wind and rain..."
As the last line of the lyrics fell, Qin Qianluo's still somewhat childish voice became tinged with sobs, and a tear slid down her cheek.
Seeing Qin Qianluo's expression, 001 panicked a little, quickly turned off the music, and cautiously asked, "Luo Bao, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
The people listening to the song fell silent. The sobbing in the song made their hearts clench. Lin Ruoqing got up in a panic, wanting to go to Qin Qianluo's tent to check on her, but Qin Xiang stopped her, saying that they should give Luo'er time to process her emotions.
Su Jinyun also frowned, feeling somewhat worried. However, she knew she couldn't go over. Although she didn't know why Qianluo was so heartbroken and dejected, if she went over, the matter of Xinsheng would probably be exposed. Qianluo would then be much more hesitant and timid in her future actions, and would never be as free as she was now.
Qin Qianlu calmed herself down. "Although this song expresses the story of a woman who marries into a foreign land and faces the injustice of fate, actively integrating into an unfamiliar environment, 001, don't you think it also applies to me now? I came to ancient times alone, and I can never go back."
001 didn't quite understand these complex emotions. It could only sense that Luo Bao was currently feeling down, like a wronged child. "Does Luo Bao want to go back to the modern world? Did someone here make Luo Bao suffer?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt worried. Had someone wronged Princess Qingyun, and was that why Princess Qingyun wanted to return to the place where she used to live?
Lin Ruoqing's face was wet with tears. She anxiously held Qin Xiang's hand, waiting for Luo'er's answer with worry. She was also thinking to herself whether she had not taken good care of Luo'er, which was why Luo'er missed the things from her previous life so much.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor became restless. He was worried that 001 could really take the Qin family girl away, and he was even more worried that his country would not be able to keep her. After all, judging from the Qin family girl's inner thoughts, his country was far inferior to the country she lived in in her previous life, but he was already working hard to build the country, and he did not want the Qin family girl to disappear.
The ministers were also somewhat flustered. The benefits brought by Princess Qingyun were obvious to all, and they were all beneficiaries. However, Princess Qingyun did not seem to like her current life. What should they do if Princess Qingyun really disappeared?
Amidst everyone's worry, the inner voice echoed again: "No, it's fine here. My father, mother, brothers, and sisters all love me dearly. My colleagues at court are also very kind, and the Emperor is a benevolent and wise ruler. Sister Su even saved my life today. I haven't been wronged. I just suddenly heard this song and felt a little emotional."
001 felt relieved, as long as she hadn't been wronged. "Luo Bao, although I don't quite understand this feeling, don't be sad. The people of Tianxuan treat Luo Bao very well. Not to mention your aunt and uncle, even today, in such a dangerous situation with Prime Minister Su, she rushed out to shield Luo Bao from the dagger. She truly considers Luo Bao a friend."
Qin Qianlu smiled upon hearing this, as if she had suddenly understood something. "Hmm, I'm not very sad. 001, I seem to be too fixated on my past life. Actually, I've never been able to integrate here. They've all been so kind to me. It's just that I've been dwelling on everything from my past life, unwilling to get too close to everyone. That's really not right."
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved, as long as they weren't wronged and wanted to leave. However, upon hearing that Prime Minister Su and Princess Qingyun had encountered danger that day, and that Prime Minister Su was injured, everyone felt a renewed sense of worry. As for Princess Qingyun's feelings about not being integrated, no one thought so.
Lin Ruoqing, Qin Xiang, and Qin Jiyuan, who had rushed over, breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Luo'er didn't intend to leave. However, upon hearing that Su Xiang had shielded Luo'er from the knife, their hearts tightened again.
The group exchanged glances and hurried toward Prime Minister Su's tent. It was good that Luo'er didn't dislike them anymore. As for her reluctance to get close, the group thought back on their usual interactions and realized they hadn't felt that way before.
The Emperor and his ministers were relieved and were about to return to their seats when they heard that Prime Minister Su had shielded Princess Qingyun from a knife. They stood up again and went with the Emperor to Prime Minister Su's tent to find out what had happened.
After listening, 001 didn't quite agree. "Luo Bao actually felt a sense of belonging to this country a long time ago, but she just didn't realize it. Luo Bao is gentle and polite to everyone; she doesn't seem out of place at all."
Qin Qianlu shook her head. She knew herself well that she had never felt much belonging to Tianxuan, even though her parents and the people around her were very good to her.
But most of the time, he only saw himself as an observer, and what he took out was basically to improve his own life. Protecting the people and soldiers was just his instinct.
As for the rest of the time, she was comparing things to the past, subconsciously observing from a detached perspective, but she didn't show it.
Today's events made her suddenly realize some things. She was loved and protected by others here, and she shouldn't feel that way. She should completely let go of her past life and truly consider herself a person of the Tianxuan Kingdom.
After thinking it through, Qin Qianlu smiled slightly and said, "It's not enough. I should love this place as much as I love China. I have you and such convenient conditions, so why not do something to develop Tianxuan?"
After all, this place is truly wonderful. There's no male chauvinism, the emperor respects women, my parents and siblings dote on me, and besides, I'm a princess here; I can't just collect a salary without doing any work.
