Watching the crowd walking around and discussing, Qin Qianluo temporarily put the people blocking the way outside out of her mind and relaxed her tense nerves.
As she watched, she noticed that some of the dozen or so women walked in a strange way, as if they couldn't stand steadily. Their long skirts covered their feet, and they didn't seem to have the habit of checking other people's feet.
She only noticed today that about ten people were walking strangely, which made her a little suspicious. She asked, "001, look at those dozen or so women. They're walking strangely. Do they have injuries on their feet? How come so many of them are injured at the same time?"
001 was also quite puzzled, as it didn't know their names yet. It had been busy these past few days and hadn't had time to ask them their names after they came in.
Firstly, they were afraid of Qin Qianluo, and secondly, they were too busy. Qin Qianluo wanted them to get used to things first, so she didn't pay much attention to them, since Ling Xue and the others were there anyway.
001 said, "Luo Bao, ask them their names. I'll check their information."
Qin Qianlu nodded and searched for Ling Xue's location. An Yue was a cold person and probably wouldn't recognize everyone, so it would be better to ask Ling Xue.
Ling Xue and the other two had already heard the thoughts. Ling Xue turned her head and saw Qin Qianlu waving at her. She put down the vegetables in her hand and flew to Qin Qianlu's side.
Qin Qianluo pulled her aside and asked, "Sister Lingxue, I've never asked them what their names are before. Does Sister Lingxue know?"
Ling Xue nodded and said, "They don't have their own names, only code names, numbered one to sixteen, which are their names."
Looking at Ling Xue with a face full of doubt, Qin Qianluo was speechless, not knowing what to say. She thought that the secret agents, like her own secret guards, all had names. For example, the royal secret guards' names started with the character "Xuan" and her own secret guards' names started with the character "Mo". How could they not have names?
She snapped out of her reverie and asked, "Then Qin Yuecheng, Lian'er, and the three of you all had your own names, right? Why don't they have names, only code names?"
Ling Xue smiled and said, "Those who come out to do missions will be given names, but most of them are just code names. Qin Yuecheng is the second young lady of the Qin family, and Ling Wei and I are the young ladies of the first and second branches of the Ling family. An Yue is a bit special. She is, by definition, a princess of the Xuanyuan Kingdom."
He glanced in the direction of Dark Moon and continued, "But her mother was tortured to death by Emperor Xuanyuan. She herself erased the surname of the Xuanyuan royal family and registered under the name of a minister. In order to survive, she entered the secret agent camp."
Qin Qianlu fell silent again. It was the first time she had learned that An Yue was a princess. However, in a country like Xuanyuan Kingdom, princesses were the most unfortunate. She didn't dwell on the issue of her identity and looked at the women.
Some people asked uncertainly, "If 001 is just a code name, can we access any data about it?"
001 tried it once, then looked somewhat dejected. "Luo Bao, I can't see them. How about Luo Bao gives them names, and we can try again?"
For the first time, Qin Qianlu felt that 001 seemed a bit useless, but she didn't show it. After all, if 001 knew, it would howl in her mind. For the sake of her peace and quiet, it was better not to let it know.
Although 001 had a hard time finding information, it was because of it that she had space and high-yield grain seeds. Even the information was only available because of 001, since she didn't know how to make those things. Qin Qianlu comforted herself.
After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Ling Xue and said, "If I were to name them, would they not like it? Or perhaps they once had their own names, but you just didn't know it?"
When Ling Xue heard 001's words, she was already envious of those women. How lucky they were to have their master personally bestow a name upon them! None of them had such a privilege.
Hearing her mistress's question, she smiled and said, "It is their good fortune to be given a name by Qianluo, and they will not refuse."
Qin Qianluo could only nod, instructing Ling Xue to bring the dozen or so women to the living room before leaving herself. She was still telling 001, "I'm terrible at naming things! Sixteen names, how am I supposed to come up with that?"
001 doesn't know either; it's just a string of data. It doesn't think there's anything wrong with numbers, but since humans use numbers as names, it can't find any information about them, which is a real problem for Luo Bao.
After a moment's hesitation, 001 said, "Just let them take whatever they want. If they don't like it, we can change it later. As long as it's not a number, anything should be fine."
Qin Qianlu remained silent. She decided not to ask 001 for advice; it would be more reliable to think for herself. She went into the living room, sat on the sofa, and pondered with her head down.
She thought of a line from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao": "In the morning I drink the dew that falls from the magnolia, in the evening I eat the fallen petals of the autumn chrysanthemum," which contained the meaning of nobility.
Since some characters were already repeated, and the character "落" (luò) couldn't be used, the remaining four characters, "乐安悠满" (lè ān yōu mǎn), were used as a way of expressing my best wishes for these dozen or so women.
May they forget their past pain and live a happy, carefree, and fulfilling life. May they become a group of noble and pure women who live a peaceful and smooth life.
Ling Xue led the group in. They bowed nervously, wondering why they had been summoned so suddenly. They were worried that they would be driven away. They did not want to leave their new master, nor did they want to return to their previous dark and hopeless lives.
Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, Qin Qianluo gently asked them to sit down and said softly, "I want to give you names. Would you like that? If you know your previous names, you can use those names as well."
The women's eyes lit up as they looked at their new master, knelt on the ground, and nodded in response, "Your Majesty, we are willing. Please bestow a name upon us."
Qin Qianluo asked everyone to stand up again and said softly, "Then let's take the character 'Qian' from my name as the first character. The sixteen characters are 'Chao,' 'Yin,' 'Mu,' 'Lan,' 'Zhi,' 'Zhui,' 'Lu,' 'Xi,' 'Can,' 'Qiu,' 'Ju,' 'An,' 'Ying,' 'Le,' 'You,' and 'Man.' You can choose the characters you like."
