The Power of the Country: Queen Qingyuan

My name is Li Luoyao, but many people call me Qingyuan. Over time, I became known as Qingyuan, but no one remembered my real name. Because in the year I was born, I heard that a huge blue kite flew over the capital and disappeared between heaven and earth. They said I was a goddess, and even the world-famous divine fortune teller Xuanji Zhenren came to the palace in person to make a divination for me. The hexagram is said to be very good, saying that the princess Li Luoyao is the goddess of heaven who came to the world, and whoever wins it will win the world. My father was overjoyed and regarded me as a treasure. On my fifth birthday, he personally named me Princess Qingyuan. On that day, a general amnesty was granted to the whole world and the whole country celebrated together. The people were very happy because they all believed that the princess who was born from a kite was a good omen for the Tang Dynasty and would herald a peaceful future for the country and the people. However, I am the only one in the world who knows that Master Xuanji's hexagram is not like this. I saw the old man quietly looking at the ignorant me with his eyes that seemed to have seen through a thousand years. In the midst of universal celebration, he whispered in my ear: Qingyuan, Qingyuan, you will fly alone all your life, so your fate is against the evil of heaven. Born, everyone rebels against their relatives, To die alone. ————Princess Qingyuan of Tang Dynasty. Li Luoyao.
