Song Anle also knows that her feelings affect everyone's mood, and she also wants everyone to have a happy and festive New Year, but she is really a little powerless, the kind of exhaustion from the inside out, she is almost out of breath, the more she wants to loosen, but the tighter the rope is tied up.

Song Anle sighed deeply, and when she turned around in a low voice, she heard Song Cheng's familiar call "Anle." ”

I saw Song Cheng coming from the gate of the courtyard, and Song Anle heard the sound and looked at it, and then immediately responded.

"How can you stand alone in the yard in a daze." Song Cheng helped Song Anle tighten the cloak of his clothes, in fact, he had already looked at Song Anle not far away, but she was unsettled and didn't notice him.

"Feel the New Year's spirit." Song Anle shallowly outlined the corners of her mouth, revealing her long-lost smile, but still with a touch of worry.

"Come in, don't catch a cold." Song Cheng took Song Anle's shoulders and walked towards the room together, Song Anle also knew that Song Cheng had something to say, so she didn't say anything more.

After the little maid put on two cups of tea and retreated, Song Cheng spoke first: "An Le, I went to ask Xiaojing, she"

Song Cheng's hesitation was enough for Song Anle to guess the next answer, she was not surprised by such a result, because she was more sure that there must be other hidden secrets between Song Cheng and Song Xiaojing, since Song Xiaojing left Song Cheng's room that morning, she thought about it carefully, only to find that they were the same as before, completely opposite attitudes and contacts.

Song Xiaojing's reply was already very clear, although Song Anle still had questions, she still said indifferently: "It's hard for her, this kind of thing, how can we be selfish and let her bear it alone, blame me for being too hasty." ”

"No, it's a pleasure;" Song Cheng said eagerly guiltily: "It's all my fault, blame me for not letting Xiao Jing be so desperate." ”

Song Cheng could only use Song Xiaojing's affection for him as an excuse, but his guilt towards Song Anle could only be hidden in his heart.

"Ah Cheng, don't say that;" Song Anle gently put his arm around Song Cheng, and said with a gentle face: "You can have a kind woman like Xiaojing waiting for you, it is also a blessing in your life, as a relative, I am happy for you, and I sincerely bless you." ”

"Comfort." Song Cheng frowned deeply with a sentimental face, as if the situation at this time was urging them to separate.

"Okay, don't be so sad, we should face it, we should accept it naturally, maybe the ending is not as bad as we imagined." Song Anle always has a faint smile on her face, giving people a kind of gentleness in tranquility, but she is alone to reflect on the helplessness in her heart, because now, she has no choice, so the candidate for the election must be herself.

"Anle, I'm sorry;" Song Cheng said with a dark and solemn face: "It's all my fault, not only do I not keep my promise to protect you, but I have to cut off your freedom and happiness in your life, I"

Song Cheng had already felt guilty and blamed himself to tears, Song Anle held his hand with pity and said: "Ah Cheng, don't say it, I won't blame you, no matter at any time, you are my most trusted brother and my dearest relative." ”

Song Cheng rolled the tears in his starry eyes, he touched Song Anle's delicate cheeks with pity, he didn't know whether to be happy for her beautiful appearance, or to feel bad for this kind of beautiful face.

He couldn't imagine the deep water in the palace, nor could he imagine how dark the hearts of people in the deep palace were, but he could imagine that wanting to adapt to a strange place was equivalent to starting from scratch.

Although Song Anle is talented and witty, she is kind by nature, and her personality is as quiet as water, not touching the world, not stained with dust, that kind of life without fighting the world was her original wish, but now not only is it the opposite of her dream, but she is also in the stigma of betraying her promise.

Song Cheng still couldn't see Song Anle ruining his life, and a ridiculous method suddenly came to his mind, "Anle, it's really not good, let's have a peach for Li Zhuang." ”

Song Anle glanced at Song Cheng suspiciously, but before she could think about Song Cheng's method, she had already realized that this method could not help them at all, not to mention, it was impossible to find a pretending candidate for the time being, even if it was found, in case Gao Yuanshang came to their family, in the end, she found out that the person who participated in the election of the Song family was not the young lady of the Song Mansion, wouldn't it be a big crime to bear the Song family for bullying the king.

Song Cheng saw that Song Anle was silent for a long time, thinking that she also agreed to this method, so he couldn't wait to say: "Anle, it's so decided, I'll go find someone to replace you now." ”

Song Cheng got up to leave as he spoke, but Song Anle grabbed him, "Ah Cheng, don't be impulsive first." ”

Song Cheng looked at Song Anle inexplicably, and then returned to his seat, seemingly waiting for Song Anle's words, but in fact, in his heart, he couldn't wait to do it in this way.

"Have you ever thought about how much crime our family will face if this matter is exactly what Gao Yuanshang's intention is, if you find someone to enter the palace instead of us, if he finds out, how much crime our family will face, even if this matter is not Gao Yuanshang's deliberate plan, where will you find such a suitable candidate for a while, besides, you need a household registration address to participate in the election, and you are familiar with the family situation of the household registration, in case of a slight omission, we will all have to bear the big crime of bullying the king, you may understand?"

Song Cheng admitted that he was impulsive, not only did he ignore the main point, but also did not think it through, because he only wanted to protect Song Anle and be thoughtful.

Song Anle also knew Song Cheng's intentions, she was relieved from the bottom of her heart, but the reality still needs to be faced, instead of being sad and trapping herself in sorrow, it is better to open her heart to accept it, so she said seriously: "I know that you are for my good, but this matter is a foregone conclusion, and we have no choice to change it at all." ”

"But you" Song Cheng frowned, his face solemn.

Song Anle smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, with my kind wisdom, I believe that I can control the life of the palace." ”

Song Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth gloomily, the smile on his handsome face was always so far-fetched, he didn't believe in Song Anle's control over survival, but he felt sorry that she would face a new life, an unpredictable acupoint.

"That's right;" Song Anle changed the topic in a timely manner, "I'm afraid I can't stay in the house for the New Year this year, if someone asks, you might as well say that I went to Lin Xiang Temple, I once said that I would go over there to visit Lin Yi, presumably no one will suspect." ”

Song Cheng nodded, "I know, you prepare for these two days, and I'll help you sign up in a few days." ”

"I'm not in a hurry to sign up, but I want to bring Mei Xin with me." Song Anle entered the theme of love, but it seemed quite indifferent, and the tone was surprisingly flat, at this time, if she realized her abnormal state, she would even doubt herself, in the end, whether she was afraid to enter the palace, or looking forward to seeing the long-lost old man.

Song Cheng was also brought into the theme by Song Anle, and he said in a low voice: "Mei Xin has been serving you since she was a child, and I am a lot more relieved to take her, but there are rules in the election, and you must bring two personal maids, why don't you let Zhan Ju go too?" ”

"Zhan Ju has a bit of a big temperament, and I'm worried that she will cause trouble." Song Anle was not all worried that Zhan Ju would cause trouble for herself, but that she would accidentally harm herself because of her rough temperament.

Song Cheng has been doing business with foreign countries for a long time, and he has a two-sided differentiation in people and things, so he said: "It is not necessarily a bad thing to have a careless person to serve, it is better than a stranger." ”

Song Anle thought about it, except for Zhan Ju's rough temperament, he was also quite thoughtful, after all, it was convenient for many people to go to the palace, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them later." ”

Song Cheng nodded 'um', he always felt that there were too many things to explain to Song Anle, but he didn't know where to start, so he simply emphasized some key points, otherwise he couldn't finish talking about what he was worried about at least overnight.

"Also, after entering the palace, try to have as little contact as possible with those famous masters, and avoid meeting the masters inside, if you can, I hope you can be comfortable in a corner, and when the time is ripe, I will find a way to take you away."

Song Cheng is not a mouthful, although the palace holy place is strictly guarded, but for him, it is still easy to smuggle out an inconspicuous person without knowing it, but secondly, this person must not be taken seriously.

Song Anle is very aware of Song Cheng's reminder, and this is also her own plan, as long as she can pass the election, after she enters the palace, she will know whether this election is related to Gao Yuanshang, if it is really him, then the chance of her wanting to leave the palace is almost zero, but if it has nothing to do with him, it is naturally the best result, at least for her.

"I know, you don't have to worry too much about me, there are a lot of affairs in the workshop right now, you should also properly assign the affairs to Ah Qi, he is not young now, and he should allocate some forces to him appropriately, otherwise he will only continue to be lazy like this."

Because Song Cheng has not told Song Anle that he had handed over the affairs of the workshop to Song Qi as early as a year ago, but Song Qi was born with a cynical attitude, so he gave people the impression that he had always been a hanger, but in his bones, it was not the case, but Song Cheng did not plan to sue Song Anle to avoid her worrying.

"You can rest assured that you just need to remember that at any time, you are just Song Anle." Song Cheng's meaningful words, presumably only Song Anle can understand, she clearly knows that Song Cheng's reminder is just like she has been reminding herself.

Just when the brother and sister were worriedly explaining things to each other, Song Qi's voice came from far and near from outside the courtyard, Song Anle and Song Cheng glanced at each other in unison, and then got up to greet each other.
