Lin Ruoqing also listened attentively. After all, she had two daughters. It was a certainty that her younger daughter liked women, and her older daughter was also coming of age this year. The coming-of-age ceremony was in winter, and if she couldn't get married too young, she would have to be careful. She couldn't ruin her daughter's life.

001 didn't keep everyone waiting too long. 'In ancient times, people believed that reaching adulthood after the hairpin ceremony meant one could marry and have children. Because people's lifespans are shorter now, they generally refer to themselves as old men in their thirties or forties, so reaching adulthood was considered adulthood for them.'

Qin Qianlu sighed, "Thirty or forty years old is just middle-aged, not old. But getting married at fifteen is really too early. Her body hasn't even fully developed before she's going to have children. Isn't that ridiculous? She should at least wait until she's eighteen to twenty, preferably after twenty-three. That's better for herself and for her future child."

Everyone suddenly realized, but did they really have to wait that long? Some women at twenty-three already had two children, this was too long. But Princess Qingyun must have a reason for saying that, so let's listen to Princess Qingyun. There's no rush for our daughter's marriage. Most of the ladies thought the same way.

Some of the young masters and ladies who already had someone they liked exchanged glances and smiled. What was wrong with waiting a little longer for the sake of their beloved? As for those young masters and ladies who did not yet have someone they liked, they were even less in a hurry. Princess Qingyun had said that it would be best to wait until they were twenty years old, and they were only fifteen or sixteen now.

001 also said, "That's why many children died young in ancient times, but the more children died, the more they wanted to have more, creating a vicious cycle. There were also many cases of cousin marriage, resulting in children who were either deformed, didn't grow up, or were physically weak or carried genetic diseases."

Qin Qianlu sighed helplessly, "Sigh, close relatives can't marry. It has a huge impact on their offspring. Cousins ​​and the like are out of the question. Don't even consider anyone within three generations. It's not like we don't have other relatives. Why do we have to choose from among them? No, I have to write this down for my dad. I was so forgetful, I completely forgot about it."

Everyone was shocked again. If children born within three generations are considered close relatives, how could they be more likely to have deformities and genetic diseases? Upon careful reflection, everyone realized that this was indeed the case. Children born to concubines in their own households who were cousins ​​were generally difficult to raise.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Some of the young men and women who were in love with each other and were related by marriage turned pale. What should they do? Did this mean they would never be able to marry their sweethearts? One lady thought of her children, looked over, and secretly made up her mind that she would be the villain and think about her descendants.

001 also said, "It's okay, Luo Bao. Don't blame yourself. Luo Bao is just too busy."

Qin Qianlu could only nod, then, thinking of her older sister, her eyes widened. "My sister's coming-of-age ceremony this year too, right? I need to tell Mother about this as soon as possible; I can't let her get married so early."

Lin Ruoqing: It's okay, Mother already knows. She definitely won't let your sister get married so early. After all, her daughter won't have trouble finding someone to marry her. It's good that she's a little later, so she can spend a few more years with me.

001 said, "Luobao's older sister doesn't have a sweetheart yet, and your aunt and uncle aren't in a hurry, so don't worry about Luobao."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo thought of her parents and felt relieved. Her parents respected her and the others and wouldn't force them to get married and have children. However, she was also a little worried.

"Then what can I do?" I really don’t like men. If we don’t get married, will my parents be anxious? If I find a girl, my parents won't beat me, right? It seems that I don’t have a few more years left to procrastinate. After four years, I will be old enough. At most, I can procrastinate until I’m twenty. Alas. 』

001 comforted her, "It's alright, Luo Bao. If things really get too bad, I'll take Luo Bao and run away from home. Anyway, we have a spatial dimension, so Luo Bao won't be sleeping on the streets. After Luo Bao's coming-of-age ceremony, we'll find an excuse to go to the border, and then fake our deaths and escape."

Everyone was ashamed. No wonder their master always said that this 001 was always causing trouble. How could it instigate Princess Qingyun to run away from home like this? And even fake its death to escape. How could it come up with such a thing? Look at Madam Lin's face, it's as black as ink.

Lin Ruoqing was grinding her teeth, secretly thinking that she would beat up this 001 sooner or later. He was giving Luo'er bad advice, even faking his death to escape. She would have to keep a close eye on Luo'er from now on and never let this 001 persuade her daughter.

He was also thinking that he should express his opinion when he had time, that he and the others did not object to her finding a woman, as long as Luo'er was always by his side and happy, nothing else mattered.

Qin Qianlu was also shocked by 001. What kind of terrible ideas were these? What kind of crazy things had 001 been reading lately? He could even come up with the idea of ​​faking his death and escaping. He was quite amazing. Fortunately, her mother couldn't hear her, otherwise she would have been really angry with 001.

He took a sip of tea helplessly and said, "Why leave home? What kind of nonsense have you been watching lately, 001? In this life, all I want is to spend time with my family. I don't want to be too far away from them. In the last life, my family experienced the tragedy of parents outliving their children; I don't want them to experience that in this life."

001, a little embarrassed, said, "Hehe, Luo Bao, don't be angry. I've recently read a few storybooks, and it's all written in those stories. I won't read them anymore. If Luo Bao wants to spend time with her family, then I'll stay with Luo Bao."

Hearing Qin Qianluo's heartfelt words, Lin Ruoqing's eyes welled up with tears. It was enough that Luo'er was willing to stay by her side. Being Luo'er's mother in this life was a blessing she had earned in her previous life. Luo'er had never caused her any worry since she was little, and had always been well-behaved and sensible.

After hearing Luo'er's thoughts, she was secretly delighted. This way, she could understand her little daughter better. She knew that Luo'er was reincarnated with memories of her previous life and had some difficulties adapting. But this was the daughter she had carried for ten months and given birth to. No matter what happened in her previous life, she was Luo'er's mother in this life.

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.
