Chapter 295 Relationship Change
Song Anle was in the hall, staring at the fallen leaves on the ground outside. Because she realized that her footsteps were approaching, she said thoughtfully: "Look, autumn is here."
Gao Yuanshang found that she was dressed in a uniform dress. He almost forgot that she dressed in a beautiful way, but he didn't like her formal outfit.
So he followed her eyes and looked outside the courtyard. Although autumn was coming, he didn't feel anything was needed. Perhaps the only difference for him was that the situation was changing.
"Are you looking for me?" Gao Yuanshang brought her thoughts back in time.
Song Anle took back his gaze from outside the yard. He didn't expect Gao Yuanshang to come back so early, so she thought it was Mei Xin and the others.
"You are here." Song Anle just stood up and responded casually.
Song Anle got up and tidied up his outfit, and said lightly: "I want to go and see it."
Gao Yuanshang frowned. He knew very well who the one Song Anle said meant. But she had just walked out of the pain, so why should she make things difficult for her?
"The government affairs are busy, I will take you there another day." Gao Yuanshang turned around and left after he finished speaking. He did not want her to tie herself up in a narrow mind, nor did he want her to uncover the already scabbed wounds, so he chose to refuse.
Song Anle didn't stop him, but said lightly: "Tell me the place, myself."
Gao Yuanshang couldn't hear her persistence from her tone, but with her unyielding temperament, he must have to go, so he sighed inwardly and walked out on his own.
Song Anle knew that his answer was an apology, and he probably couldn't bear to refuse her. No matter what, this was the first time she had the courage to face it. She needed to let go, so she had to try to accept it.
The two followed each other and soon arrived at the beautiful place like a painting. However, the blooming lotus flowers on the lake had withered their beautiful petals, revealing green lotus pods, accompanied by lotus leaves, swaying proudly in the autumn wind.
Song Anle's footsteps, when she asked about the rich fragrance of osmanthus, she suddenly stopped. Although she took deep breaths and told herself to be strong and cheer up, the pain of fear still silently penetrated her heart, as if she wanted to invade her to suffocate.
Gao Yuanshang felt that there was no footsteps behind him, and he paused. When he looked back, Song Anle was already standing behind him in a daze. Perhaps seeing her timid pain and the helpless sadness, he turned back to her and gently led her away.
He hoped that she would completely get out of the pain during this meeting, rather than give up halfway because of her timidity.
I don’t know if it was because of the power given by Gao Yuanshang or if he could be her temporary support, Song Anle gradually faded away his fear. Although every step closer, her steps were heavy, she still insisted on the osmanthus tree full of osmanthus flowers.
A strong fragrance of osmanthus filled the air. Song Anle only felt the difficulty of the breath coming. She was locked in her eyebrows and eyes, and a solemn expression on her face. Her breathing suddenly began to be rapid, as if it would stop at any time.
She hugged her chest in pain. It was not difficulty breathing, but severe pain. She could not breathe at all. Seeing that her body was shaking, Gao Yuanshang quickly held her in his arms and patted her gently on her back a few times.
Song Anle held his hand tightly. She didn't know how much effort she had put in, but she only knew that she needed to vent her vent to relieve the stinging pain in her heart.
After a little relief, Song Anle finally stabilized. She fell to the stone tablet under the tree, without expression or thoughts, just stayed quietly.
Gao Yuanshang did not disturb her. Even if he gave her and her children a space to stay alone, they had to wait alone like this, so he was waiting on the lake beside him.
Facing the calm lake, Gao Yuanshang also paused his thoughts, released his fatigue that had been accumulated for a long time, and relaxed his body and mind that had been restrained for too long. He hoped that this day would only belong to their family.
After calming down for a long time, Song Anle finally sealed the painful scars. She found that Gao Yuanshang had not left, so she walked beside him. Although she did not look at his expression, facing such a picturesque scenery, anyone would probably put everything aside.
"It's so beautiful here." Song Anle's tone was dull, but she was relieved of the deceased child, at least with such a beautiful scenery.
"This is the most beautiful place in the palace, so I sent it here." Gao Yuanshang looked into the distance, as if he was fantasizing about something.
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's impossible to escape this palace wall." Song Anle lowered her eyes. For her, this palace wall was the hurdle in her heart, so she didn't want her children to be here too.
Gao Yuanshang said with a hint of anger and uncertainty: "You just hate this palace wall so much?"
Song Anle said lightly with a distant look: "It's not disgust, it's fear."
"Since you are afraid, why do you choose to come in?" Gao Yuanshang hopes to ask her true intentions in her most real side, because he does not believe that Song Anle is really just for glory and wealth.
"Because..." Song Anle paused for a moment, not hesitation, but just a momentary pause. She retracted her thoughtful gaze on Gao Yuanshang and gently spit out the word "you".
The frown on Gao Yuanshang's eyebrows was obviously a little heavier. He did not look directly at Song Anle's beautiful eyes full of scars, but said coldly: "It's getting late, go back early."
Song Anle did not intend to show her concern for Gao Yuanshang, but Gao Yuanshang showed obvious avoidance. She didn't want to continue her remarks, so she said calmly: "You go first, I want to stay for a while."
In her situation, Gao Yuanshang could not leave her alone, and the mentality of her forcing herself to face it was beyond the scope that ordinary people could bear, so she was clearly making things difficult for herself, so Gao Yuanshang said heavyly: "Actually, you don't have to force yourself like this, the deceased also need rest."
Song Anle seemed to be touched again, tears oozing her eyes red, and she said sadly: "I hope we can still be mother and son in the next life, but we won't be reincarnated in the royal family again."
Gao Yuanshang's mentality at this moment was as if he was a sinner, a sinner who was carrying the royal status. He would also imagine that if he was not in the royal family, perhaps the children would not have encountered any unexpected problems, and they might not have endured so many hardships.
On the occasion of Gao Jin's birthday, several more happy events were added to the palace. First, Song Xiaojing's child ushered in the full moon and was promoted to Princess Lin. This is also the dream status. You can imagine how great a royal heir is.
After Shen Xiaoya was pregnant, Gao Yuanyi finally issued an order to promote her to be a concubine under the conscience of the queen, but she was only the second-rank concubine. First of all, he was the official concubine in his mind, and was reserved for Song Anle alone. The reason why Chen Xiaoya was not a concubine was that she wanted to leave enough room for promotion after she gave birth.
The first little prince in the palace, the full moon banquet, was of course extravagant. However, because Gao Jinlong was ill, he did not attend in person. The queen also avoided facing everything she didn't want to see on the grounds of taking care of Gao Jin.
But Gao Yuankang did not keep everything simple. He organized the prince's full moon banquet in a very grand manner, not only to entertain many royal relatives and nobles, but also to some respected ministers. Of course, this was a banquet that was consistent with common sense.
Because it was also considered a matter of the harem, many people brought their families. Gao Yuanyi, after Shen Xiaoya's repeated prayers, finally agreed to take her to participate, and Gao Yuanshang certainly could not go there alone.
The first choice Gao Yuanshang considered was of course the official concubine Song Anle, but he was worried that she would be hurt, so he did not intend to force her. Of course, it was the best for her to go. First, it could prove that she had completely walked out of the loss of her son, and second, he could finally join hands with her in front of everyone, mainly Gao Yuanyi.
Gao Yuanshang had morning court this day and came directly to Changle Palace. When he just walked into the inner hall, Song Anle happened to come out. She was already wearing a simple palace uniform. She was dressed in her dress, and she should have prepared for the banquet.
After a short period of harmonious relationship, Song Anle let go of the estrangement in the past. She had no strength to carry those heavy burdens, nor did she have the body and mind to entangle those grudges and revenge. If possible, she would rather respect each other like guests, not be sad or happy, not arrogant or impatient.
Song Anle said gently: "I have been waiting for a long time, may the eldest prince set out?"
The more she acted so calmly, Gao Yuanshang became more worried that she was forcing herself to hold on, so he confirmed again: "Are you sure you want to go?"
"Does the eldest prince think I shouldn't go?" Song Anle still spoke indifferently. She actually didn't want to deal with those false greetings, but she couldn't become a coward in the eyes of others.
In theory, Song Anle is of course going, and even if she is not the imperial concubine, she should go to congratulate her. Her behavior is the most general decision, so Gao Yuanshang left a sentence "Let's go."
He walked in front of him and said loudly: "Prepare for a drive."
Song Anle and Gao Yuanshang rode together on the same imperial carriage and slowly moved forward to Yongkang Palace amid the deafening sound of firecrackers. At this time, Yongkang Palace had already gathered lively people, and the joy and laughter came from all directions. You can imagine the joy.
With a loud shout, "The eldest prince and the imperial concubine arrive~~"
Apart from Gao Jin and Empress, Gao Yuanshang and Song Anle were the most famous, so everyone put away their smiles and greeted them at the gate of the hall.
Gao Yuanshang is now walking and looks back and thinks to support Song Anle. The two have been in harmony, as if they are really like a loving couple.
