The role played by a single clan elder is logically limited.
Zhu Jin spent the afternoon seeing the doctor as usual, but the internet was once again in turmoil because of her, and the royal palace and the princess's residence were in turmoil because of her.
When the royal family knew that Zhu Jin was going to be on the show, they paid attention but were used to it and did not take it too seriously. However, they never thought that Zhu Jin's wearing of ancient clothes would cause such a sensation this time. The result was unexpected but also expected. After all, after seeing Zhu Jin's performance in the show wearing ancient clothes, they could not find any words to criticize her.
Most of the comments on the Internet are about her temperament. What they see in Zhu Jin is curiosity and fantasy about their own ancient history. If the previous history is an existence that lacks material for their imagination, then Zhu Jin is the existence that gives them direction.
Zhu Jin seldom appears on TV shows, but she presents the ancient times to them bit by bit, from the initial mysterious ancient medical skills to the later magnificent embroidery, and then to the ancient poetry, culture, etiquette, and clothing. Zhu Jin, wearing ancient clothes, is the embodiment of ancient cultural heritage.
Zhu Jin's temperament and charm are completely different from those of today's women. They feel that she is the most intuitive, so they admire her. For the royal family, as time goes by, they can see the difference of Zhu Jin and the important meaning behind her.
The royal family originally existed to study, inherit, and promote the Chinese historical and cultural heritage. They had been working hard from generation to generation, and even if the results were minimal, they persisted and were respected and loved by the people. The royal family, especially the queen and princess, was essentially an invisible foreign ministry and an important part of the soft power of the Blue Water Planet. In essence, the focus of the princess and queen was slightly biased.
Only a few people in the royal family were aware of this problem, and they had no ability to solve it. It was not until Zhu Jin appeared and Shang Lu helped Helian Zhen behind the scenes that the royal family once again paid attention to the inheritance of history and culture. History and culture began to shine, affecting Shuilan Star and the royal family bit by bit, and continued to ferment until the current outbreak.
Many people in the royal family know that Zhu Jin is the most suitable and best inheritor of ancient culture. In terms of the significance of the royal family's existence, no one can replace her now.
In this respect, Helian Zhen can never compare with Zhu Jin. After several setbacks, Helian Zhen discovered this problem and found a new way.
The royal family was in a state of unrest, and Queen Helian Lan had a rare half-day of free time, so she gave herself time to think.
The two daughters, whether intentionally or not, were eventually drawn together. The fight for the princess's position would inevitably unfold under the manipulation of the royal elders and others. By then, one of them would fail and be affected...
When the time came, Helian Lan came out of the study.
It had been less than six months since the last elders' meeting, but no one cared about it anymore. Several elders, led by Grandpa Lianqiao, strongly opposed Helian Zhen's succession to the throne of princess. In the endless debate, the White Eyebrow elder once again proposed to restore Zhu Jin to the throne.
This time, except for a small number of people, many elders remained silent.
If it was two days ago, most of them would oppose it, or even say they would not consider it, but now the situation has changed a lot. No one is a fool, and they can all see the influence that Zhu Jin has unknowingly created.
Silence represents many meanings. The White Eyebrow Clan elder smiled, with arrogance and determination in his eyes.
When Shang Lu frowned after learning that the white-browed old man had gone to talk to Zhu Jin about the princess' restoration, Helian Zhen had already quickly learned about the content of that night's meeting through her channels.
Helian Zhen sent away the person who brought the news, and smiled in the dark, "Princess, I am the only one who can do it... best."
After going through that long dark period of waiting for others' help, she deeply understood that she had to rely on herself in everything.
She would no longer expect the ordinary people, who knew the truth at most one percent, to "like" her and support her to be a princess at such a moment, nor would she ask the Queen Mother for help, nor would she expect her sister, who had become a complete stranger to her, to give up the princess position.
Regardless of whether she has lost her memory or not, people are born with desires, like her, and even more like her sister. She would never believe that the person who has always been active in the media, always attracting attention, and who has spent so much effort on the inheritance of ancient culture, said that she has no desire for the position of princess. Since she was born, in her nearly 20 years of life, her mother, the Queen, has always taught her to be a kind girl, to like her sister, admire her sister, and support her sister. At the end of her life, she still has the princess dream in her heart.
When her princess dream came true, the only thing left in her mind was what her mother taught her sister about how to be a good princess.
She is not very smart and may not be able to do many things well, but the only thing she can do well is to be a good princess. After overcoming the obstacles before becoming a good princess, she will become a princess who is no worse than any previous princess.
She will not let her mother down.
Helian Zhen thought about Shang Lu and her mother's vague suspicion of her during this period of time, and curled her lips, thinking that it would be fine to cause some annoyance.
On the evening of March 8, the voting for the 'most perfect princess in my heart', which had been depressed because of Lian Qiao's accident, was quietly started again. Zhu Jin replaced Lian Qiao. One night passed without any sound or impact.
On March 9, more and more people started to pay attention to Zhu Jin, and his momentum was rapid, and the data continued to climb slowly.
The old man with white eyebrows looked at the news and smiled with satisfaction, "Three days, just three more days..."
Three days later, Zhu Jin's sentence officially ended.
On March 10, voting for "The Most Perfect Princess in My Heart" finally heated up and attracted a lot of people's attention. When the craze for Zhu Jin wearing ancient clothes was gradually fading, people's attention was once again drawn to Zhu Jin.
Based on personal networks and the real data of one person one vote, Zhu Jin has quietly approached Helian Zhen, whose popularity has always been high. All major media outlets reported the news without surprise. In the center of the news storm, Helian Zhen went to school to teach as usual. He always smiled in response to the students' concern, but he looked haggard.
Zhu Jin didn't take the words of the old man with white eyebrows to heart. She focused her attention on the illness of Huhu's father Jiao Xu. Huhu was already in the recuperation state, but she hadn't studied the symptoms of Huhu's father yet. Because the first thing she saw on the Internet was her own photo, Zhu Jin seldom watched the news since the 8th. Things developed too quickly. By the time the media reported it, the voting for the "most perfect princess in my heart" had already gotten out of control.
Zhu Jin's face looked extremely ugly, and he asked his bodyguard to find a way to contact the white-browed old man. After knowing his address, he went straight to kill him after get off work.
"I came here just to tell you in person that I will not be a princess. I will never be a princess in my entire life. No matter how many times you try, it will be useless." The white-browed old man knew that Zhu Jin was coming and prepared tea. After Zhu Jin greeted him politely, he went straight to the point. Seeing that the white-browed old man's face changed, Zhu Jin did not stop.
"I came to you today to tell you this again face to face. If you insist on continuing, then please be prepared to bear the consequences of my refusing to be a princess in front of all the people on the Blue Planet. Please remember that I mean what I say."
The old man with white eyebrows finally spoke with a gloomy face, "What if it's too late?"
"That's something you have to consider." Zhu Jin was indifferent.
"You are quite arrogant." The old man with white eyebrows curled his lips, "Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if you said in front of all the people on the Blue Planet that you refused to be a princess?"
"If your royal family can bear it, I can bear it too." Zhu Jin looked at the white-browed old man and smiled slightly, "I am a doctor. No matter how many setbacks I experience, I will always practice medicine again, so I am not afraid."
After Zhu Jin finished speaking, he stood up, bowed and said goodbye, leaving the white-browed old man with an uncertain expression.
Zhu Jin sat on the flying car, looking at the colorful clouds in the sky in silence.
In the past, Helian Nan had lived her whole life for the "princess", but she was so easily deprived of her "princess" status, causing her to lose her beauty. Now, she regards the "princess" as a tiger, but someone forces her to be a princess.
So ironic.
However, more irony is yet to come.
When Zhu Jin returned home, he saw Shanglu at the door.
When Shang Lu saw Zhu Jin, his expression was subtle and his eyes were deep, as if he contained thousands of words.
Shang Lu was most familiar with Zhu Jin's appearance in ancient clothes. He was most aware of Zhu Jin's beauty. It was also her appearance that attracted him the most in the beginning.
Zhu Jin, wearing ancient clothes, had amazed him once, twice, and countless times, and this time was no exception.
There was a flash of something strange in Shang Lu's eyes, and it disappeared before Zhu Jin noticed.
Shang Lu knew that Zhu Jin would ignore him, so when Zhu Jin looked over, he immediately asked, "Zhu Jin, I heard that an elder of the clan came to you and hoped that you would become a princess again. Did you... agree?"
"You are well-informed. How do you want me to answer?" Zhu Jin had already passed Shang Lu, but stopped suddenly because of his expression and asked back.
"From Zhenzhen's point of view, even though I have no future, I naturally hope that you will not agree." Shang Lu answered honestly.
Zhu Jin smiled and shook his head, "You say one thing and mean another..."
Saying one thing and thinking another...Shang Lu's face was uncertain.
Zhu Jin turned around and entered the gate. He looked at Shang Lu's back outside the gate, paused, and then spoke, "I just hope that Helian Zhen will not appear in front of me after you."
Zhu Jin didn't know whether Shang Lu went back to tell Helian Zhen, but Helian Zhen still appeared in front of Zhu Jin early in the morning of the next day, March 11, at the gate, almost where Shang Lu had stood.
"Sister, I heard that an elder of the clan came to you and hoped that you would become a princess again. Did you... agree?" She changed her address and said exactly the same words as Shang Lu.
