Chapter 172
Seeing that he had no intention of getting up, Song Anle guessed that Gao Yuanshang was deliberately humiliating her, so she struggled to get up, but was forcibly forbidden by Gao Yuanshang.
Gao Yuanshang wanted to come, and the people around him should have looked at them. If they continued to look at them, it would only affect their remarks, so he looked at them coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with their extravagance.
Of course, Zhushi Zhao and others were very aware of each other. They saw the sky above and the ground below, and the left and right were sealed with cloth. It was difficult to find such a suitable and intimate place, so she waved her hand very consciously and signaled the followers to retreat, and she nodded and retreated immediately.
When Song Anle saw that everyone was leaving, she felt even more nervous and unable to calm down. But she had to pretend to be calm, but she was a little uncontrollable. I think Gao Yuanshang's intention was not to make things difficult for her, but to show it to others.
Song Anle said coldly: "All people have left, the eldest prince can get up too."
Gao Yuanshang was not convinced by Song Anle's arrogance, so he not only did not intend to get up, but was still close to her eyes, leaving only a millimeter distance, and the ambiguous smell was blown on their cheeks. If he hadn't been dissatisfied with him, he might have been moved by this.
Song Anle was stubborn and refused to look down and showed weakness. She lowered her eyes. Although she did not show Gao Yuanshang her expression clearly, her cold face was enough to make Gao Yuanshang feel it.
Even though Song Anle never looked up at him, Gao Yuanshang still stared at her. The more he was ignored by nakedness, the more unwilling he was to surrender. Anyway, Song Anle could be expressed as a woman, so why would he be afraid of being a dignified prince?
Gao Yuanshang simply kissed her lips directly. Song Anle thought he was just pretending to show others, but he didn't expect that he was so arrogant. She almost let go of her jade fingers and became angry.
At this time, Gao Yuanyi called out "Brother."
Gao Yuanshang also stood up immediately when he heard the sound. Song Anle felt relaxed. She escaped from Gao Yuanshang's arms as fast as possible. At this time, Gao Yuanyi had already come over. It was obvious that he had seen the scene just now. Song Anle was not only nervous, but also a little panic.
Gao Yuanshang sneered secretly. Gao Yuanyi didn't even have such self-control. They just kissed each other intimately, and he couldn't help but come out to stop him. But he thought that his affection for Song Anle was far more than appreciation.
Gao Yuanshang stood up and sorted out his clothes, and said meaninglessly: "Second brother has finished inspecting so soon?"
Gao Yuanyi felt a little guilty about his impulsive behavior, but he still calmly said: "I almost forgot that the palace ladies were greeting my elder brother, and I couldn't find me for a while."
Because Gao Yuanyi's words were obviously joking, they immediately relieved the awkward atmosphere. Gao Yuanyi smiled and said, "Then let's see how the finished product is made first."
Gao Yuanyi smiled gently and said, "It's great."
When Gao Yuanshang turned around, he subconsciously glanced at Song Anle. Perhaps because she was still angry, she still had a cold expression on her face, but it was not ruled out that she cared about Gao Yuanyi's feelings.
Song Anle took them to look around. Since the cloth was hung tightly everywhere, it was not very convenient for them to walk. Most of them were Song Anle uncovering the thick cloth and opening the way for them. In fact, Gao Yuanshang alone. Gao Yuanyi would basically take the initiative to open the cloth curtain and occasionally help her to push the cloth away in front of her.
It is comparable to a drying area like a maze, so it is easy to get lost. Unconsciously, Gao Yuanshang's figure disappeared inexplicably. Song Anle instinctively searched everywhere, but could not take the person away, and was troubled by Gao Yuanshang again.
Gao Yuanyi did not look for it too clearly, because he knew Gao Yuanshang's whereabouts very well. At this time, he would either go to do a good job or go alone.
When Gao Yuanyi saw that Song Anle was still watching everywhere, he said lightly: "Are you looking for him?"
Song Anle came to his senses only then, as if he had overlooked Gao Yuanyi's feeling, "Because there are too many cloths and large areas, few people dare to walk in easily, so I'm worried..."
Song Anle suddenly realized that her claim was wrong, so she instinctively stopped talking. After awkwardly returning to her senses, she said again: "The maid is just worried that the eldest prince will be lost here."
Gao Yuanyi was originally very satisfied with Song Anle's claim. At least this was her most instinctive consciousness, which meant that she was not in awe of him. This was a good foundation for relationships, but her words later inevitably made him feel a little disappointed.
Gao Yuanyi said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, he is not a child."
Song Anle thought about it, but Gao Yuanshang sometimes became naive and even worse than a child. She could not ignore Gao Yuanyi because of Gao Yuanshang alone. After all, they were all princes. So she said calmly: "Why do the second prince still have to patrol everywhere?"
"Of course;" Gao Yuanyi spoke in a firm tone, but then he said casually: "However, before that, you have to answer my questions first."
Gao Yuanyi still had no honorary title, which made Song Anle's always restrained mind and it was rare to relax, so she said lightly: "The second prince might as well ask directly, and the maid will definitely answer truthfully."
"Can't we go back to the tea shop at that time?" Compared to this time, Gao Yuanyi liked the unrestrained tea shop more. At that time, they had no distinction between identities and did not have to be as hard as disguised.
"This is not the time, so the second prince should not make things difficult for the maid." Song Anle also wants to return to the unrestrained time. That kind of carefree life is her lifelong pursuit, but now it has become her yearning. These things have changed only because of the moment she met Gao Yuanshang. She really wants to hate Gao Yuanshang at this moment.
"Okay then;" Gao Yuanyi's tone was obviously reluctant, so he immediately said: "But, when it's only the two of us, don't be dissatisfied, otherwise I'm not feeling well."
Song Anle smiled and nodded and answered. After many contacts with Gao Yuanyi, she had already realized that Gao Yuanyi's feelings for her were far more than pure friendship or confidant.
"Come on, let's find a place to sit down first." Gao Yuanyi took her hand and walked through the labyrinth curtain. From the moment he saw Song Anle, he had accumulated too many surprises and excitement in his heart, but he also had questions and unknown her arrival.
The two found a place to rest and sat down. Although it was just a wooden stick, they sat side by side, and then bathed in the sun and enjoyed the warmth of the light scattered on their bodies. This was also a great thing in the palace.
But Gao Yuanyi couldn't wait to ask: "By the way, Anle, why did you think of entering the palace? And... or the beauties who run for the election?"
Gao Yuanyi's words paused for a moment, and even became a little dull. However, Song Anle didn't care. Instead, she was no longer so restrained by Gao Yuanyi's easy-goingness. However, when it came to the palace, she said in a deep and low voice: "The second prince should know more about this matter than me."
Gao Yuanyi was caught off guard when he thought of the sudden issuance of Emperor Jin's order to select beauties. However, afterwards, as the crown prince of a country and the prince of the current dynasty, they were only dedicated to serving the country, but they were reluctant to consider taking concubines and adding children to the country. This was also unfilial, so after all persuasion, they agreed to the selection.
But in that talent show, some people were forced to do anything, and of course some people were complacent. As for Song Anle's experience, he could only sigh that this time the talent show was also in Love City, and it can only be said that God's will.
From Song Anle's words, she was obviously avoiding this question, but Gao Yuanyi wanted to know her definition of the palace even more, so he said: "So, are you forced to do it?"
Song Anle didn't know how many things she was forced into the palace were, and how some were helpless, or some of her unknown selfishness.
Gao Yuanyi saw her lower eyes, and his face was filled with melancholy. Even if she didn't answer, he guessed that she could be helpless, so he said tentatively: "Then are you very reluctant to enter the palace?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't want to." Song Anle lowered her head calmly. In fact, she wanted to say that she didn't dare to think, but she couldn't reveal the reason why she didn't dare.
Gao Yuanyi was determined to treat Song Anle, so he naturally wanted to keep her by his side, but staying with him meant to become a person in this palace completely, but he didn't want to selfishly restrain her.
Gao Yuanyi has lived in the palace for a long time and has become accustomed to everyone's rejection of the palace. He imagined that it was because of the darkness and cruelty of the palace. So he said lightly: "In fact, the palace is not as dark as outsiders say. The important thing is to see how you treat it."
Gao Yuanyi has always believed that no matter where you live or where you are, the problems you face will be different, but no matter what kind of worries you face, what is important is a person's mentality. As long as you treat it with an ordinary heart, you believe that everything can be dull. However, Song Anle's natural kind nature is a little weak, and if you want to strengthen your personality, it may be easier to survive.
Song Anle said earnestly: "With that being said, who would want to have wings but be tied up in a cage."
For Song Anle, the cruelty and darkness in the palace were never the main reasons that bother her, but the promise she could never forget and the heart that yearned for freedom.
