Chapter 482: Follow the Path
Zhou Jiyue still remembers that when Yue Qianqiu took him to Hemingxuan to see the old lady Yue, the old man smiled and stretched out his hands to support him, as well as the words he said to himself that he was willing to keep her as a granddaughter and let her call him grandpa.
Although she gradually learned later that the old lady Yue was not an old man who was kind and generous like her grandfather as she showed on the face, but an old fox who was scheming, that kind of admiration had already been deeply implanted in her heart. Because, perhaps, even if the old lady Yue has such and such calculations, he has helped her fulfill the greatest wish of her deceased relatives.
And at this moment, the words that the old lady Yue said to the twelve princesses step by step made her, a bystander, even more moved.
If it is replaced by an ordinary grandfather, a foreign princess has chased after him all the way, and he has been picked up on the way, then, implying that his grandson is cooking raw rice and ripe rice, while dragging this foreign princess to death, seeking corresponding benefits in Beiyan, and then throwing it away when it runs out, maybe he will have to express his country's position in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and then cling to another good family business, which is the perfect way to obtain the greatest benefits.
Who would be like an old lady and analyze the consequences of elopement and the harm of abandoning the country so clearly?
He even did not hesitate to use her, an outsider, as an example of comparison!
Therefore, when Zhou Jiyue saw the twelve princesses raise their heads, and the eyes that were just clearly dull were flashing with the light of expectation and hope, she knew that the words of the old lady Yue were not in vain after all, at least, this princess of Beiyan should have listened to it. But at the same time, she couldn't help but have a lingering worry.
If the twelve princesses really come to their senses, Huijian cuts the love silk, and returns to Beiyan like this, will they use this humiliating experience as a motivation to work hard in the future? At that time, wasn't it really self-defeating?
Just when Zhou Jiyue was in turmoil, she suddenly caught a slight movement on the roof, and couldn't help but be vigilant. However, she listened intently for a while, but found no other reaction, and couldn't help but temporarily suppress the suspicion. After all, leaving behind the old lady Yue, a person who must be well protected, to track down possible eavesdroppers on the roof, is undoubtedly abandoned.
Although Old Lady Yue does not have the good ear power of Zhou Jiyue, he has always been a meticulous observer. Therefore, Zhou Jiyue's expression changed, he saw it in his eyes for the first time, but as if he hadn't found anything, he said to the twelve princesses with a smile: "If the princess of Yue Guo listens to my words, then it's best, if you really can't listen to it, I can't help it." I'm a busy man, old man, and I don't have so much time to talk to the little girl......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the twelve princesses hug his knees violently, and then fell on his lap and sobbed. He only has a son and no daughter, although he has a granddaughter, but Nuo Nuo is not a person who cries when he cries, so being hugged by his thigh and crying is still a rare thing in his life. What's more, crying is just the beginning.
"No one has ever said this to me, neither my father nor my mother, only grandpa, you are willing to say such heartfelt words to me without relatives or reason! Just like Qianqiu, there has never been anyone who doesn't take me seriously like him, and no one has taught me a lesson like him! But I really never thought I could do anything, and besides, how do I get back? ”
The twelfth princess raised her head, wiped her tears vigorously, and then said word by word: "It was the eldest sister who helped me out, just like Qianqiu said, she must be because I told her to meet Uncle Jin in the first place, and caused Uncle Jin to expose her in public that she was not the first queen mother's own child, so she hated me to the bone." Now that I'm not in Beijing, she must have planted countless charges on my head, and if I go back at this time, won't I be caught in the net? ”
"When Qianqiu told the third prince that the eldest princess was revealed by Xiao Jingxian that she was not born to the first queen, and Xiao Jingxian himself defected to Nanwu, what was the reaction of the third prince who had always been like dough? He laughed wildly, and then went against the norm and directly killed Yazhu with his own hands. The third prince sent an envoy to Dawu this time, obviously he was regarded as an outcast, and even the deputy envoy Lou Yingchang ran away, in terms of circumstances, he is thousands of times worse than you, he has the courage to fight to the death, you still have your mother and mother's family in Beiyan, what are you afraid of? ”
When the old lady Yue said this, he saw that the twelfth princess straightened her back, and her face, which had always been only pampered and willful, gradually revealed a rare solemnity, and he gently pressed her shoulder with his hand.
"I just got the news from Beiyan, your mother has not been abolished, let alone sent to the cold palace. Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, personally spoke for you, and he said that it must be Yue Qianqiu's stinky boy who bewitched and instigated you to elope with him, but you are very smart, and this trip to the Southern Dynasty may be able to do what you want. Even if you can't, it's because you're young and ignorant, and Beiyan should send someone to pick you up, instead of letting Jin Zhiyuye be humiliated by a kid with an unknown background. Well, that's pretty much it, Qianqiu was scolded by him very badly because of you. ”
"Brother Chang Jue ......"
The twelfth princess was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks, which were already red, were even more like fire. At that time, when Xiao Jingxian brought Yue Qianqiu over to see her, Yue Qianqiu casually beat her to the ground, and scolded her severely, so she gradually transferred all her previous feelings for Xiao Changhui to Yue Qianqiu.
Now that she heard Xiao Changheng speak for her, she had a thousand feelings in her heart.
But as soon as the unwitting Chang Jue brother muttered four words, she realized that she was out of shape. After all, she ran after Xiao Changhui's ass at the beginning, and it was a well-known thing in Beiyan, and the most important thing was that Yue Qianqiu also knew everything about it, and now the old lady Yue heard her call out these four words, according to the conservative character of the Southern Dynasty people, wouldn't she think that she was watery Yanghua?
"Grandpa, I ......"
Who is the old lady Yue, the changing expression of the twelfth princess, in his eyes, it is simply equivalent to telling him clearly what the other party wants to say.
He smiled, and then said calmly: "The king of Lanling County can tolerate Zhen Rong, in the end, he is a measured person, he spoke for you, but he scolded Qianqiu bloody, this is his position, I have nothing to be angry about." I said this just to tell you that if you can't go back to Beiyan, now safety is not a problem, it's just your own problem.
You must know that you are in Beiyan, far more than you can do in Jinling, maybe one day you, the princess of Yueguo, will be famous all over the world, and people will not know you because you are a golden branch and jade leaf, but because of what you do. At that time, Qianqiu may feel that missing you is the biggest regret. ”
The twelve princesses clenched their fists fiercely, and for a moment heaven and man fought. She suddenly glanced at Zhou Jiyue, and asked bluntly: "I want to ask this Sect Master Zhou, Qianqiu went to Beiyan before, since you have such a relationship with him, why don't you go?" ”
Zhou Jiyue didn't expect that the twelve princesses, who didn't even look at herself at first, would suddenly ask themselves such a question after learning about their origins, and who were very hostile to her. Seeing that the pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes were full of undisguised targeting at this moment, she curled the corners of her mouth unmoved.
"Why should I go? Chiaki has something to do, and I have something I want to do. He entrusted the Wuying Pavilion to me, so what I have to do is to maintain the Wuying Pavilion that he worked so hard to build, so that the young heroes who come to school have a sense of belonging. What's more, I still have the affairs of the White Lotus Sect to take care of, how could I follow him to Beiyan just because of impulse? ”
Thinking of the struggles and hesitations when she heard about Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu's risky moves, she said calmly: "If I don't go, I may be worried, maybe I will hesitate, but if I insist on squeezing in, then if it becomes a burden and a burden, in case it is a disadvantage, I will not forgive myself." Chiaki and I are friends, what is a friend, trust each other is a friend! ”
Yue Qianqiu on the roof listened to Zhou Jiyue's wonderful statement, and only felt that she wanted to applaud very much.
He came late, only to hear the old man ask the twelve princesses what to do if they were abandoned by him, only to hear the old man say that Zhou Jiyue is gone, he is still the sect master of Zhou, and he is in the horror that the grandfather actually revealed Zhou Jiyue's daughter to the twelve princesses, but all the way to the present, he finally fully understands the step-by-step rhythm of grandpa.
Although what he said to the Twelve Princesses was also like this, it was obvious that his head drink had no effect, in contrast, the role of Grandpa and Zhou Jiyue was very powerful.
Thinking that he had just sneaked in, and then happened to break the third prince who intended to eavesdrop, now not only ensured that no one around dared to eavesdrop on the conversation in the house, but also could be a monitor, Yue Qianqiu felt that this adventure was worth it, but just when he was proud, he heard the words of the next twelve princesses, and he couldn't calm down all of a sudden.
"Friends? Zhou Jiyue, do you pat your chest, dare to say that you don't like Qianqiu? ”
Yue Qianqiu almost didn't fall off the roof, and with his emotions and strength, he couldn't help but scratch a tile. However, the three people in the room also seemed to be too excited, and no one seemed to notice the extra movement, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief. However, his heart was still in a mess.
Zhou Jiyue...... Does she like him? How is this possible! They are childhood sweethearts...... Uh, it seems that the names of childhood sweethearts and iron buddies don't go well......
Just when he didn't know whether he should leave secretly to avoid this privacy issue, or continue to listen cheekily on the rooftop, he finally heard Zhou Jiyue's still, very calm voice.
"I like Qianqiu very much, I like his wit, I like his tricks, I like his righteousness and boldness, I also like his filial piety and friendship, and I like his thoughtful care of his friends...... But you don't all have to be like you, hoping to possess it forever, that's what you like. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Jiyue suddenly paused, and looked up at the roof: "Don't be wrong about the people on the roof, I will always be a friend who fights side by side with him, and in my life, this friendship is a priority over any liking!" ”
There's someone on the roof!
Seeing that the eyes of the twelve princesses widened, and finally heard the sound of the clothes flying on the roof, the old lady Yue unconsciously showed a smile. Today, he took this trip, not only succeeded in awakening the stupid twelve princesses a little, but also provoked the Sect Master Zhou, who was more heroic than his daughter, and by the way, Yue Qianqiu discovered something that he had not been aware of, it was really worth it!
But after the enlightenment, will the grandson be distracted? It's a real headache......
