Darkness of Rebirth

After Dongfang Du left, Concubine Xian waved to Chu Mi with a smile, "Senior Sister Chu, come and sit beside Ben Gong." After speaking, she patted the bed.Chu Mi glanced at Concubine Xian's bed, blushed immediately, and was speechless.

Seeing Chu Mi standing still, Concubine Xian said softly again, "Come here, Senior Sister Chu, don't you want me to get up?" At this point, Chu Mi blushed and walked to the bedside step by step , but did not sit down, "I have come all the way, and I will have time to change in the future..."

"It's okay, sit down. Chat with Bengong." Seeing that Chu Mi sat down next to him, he started talking first, "I haven't been by Duer's side for ten years, so I can only learn from Senior Sister Chu. This is how Du'er got here all these years." Speaking of Dongfang Du, Concubine Xian's eyes softened unconsciously, her face full of kindness.

Concubine Xian's age at this time is only 34. Speaking of it, she is at the prime of her life. I don't know if it is because she is in the palace that she is more mature than those women of a similar age that Chu Mi has seen.She was dressed in a plain white loose underclothes, with hair draped over her shoulders, and an unpainted face. She didn't have the heroic spirit of a Jianghu woman, but only lazy and noble.Looking at the face somewhat similar to Dongfang Du's, Chu Mi's heart was beating wildly.

"Du'er was close to you when he was a child?" Concubine Xian sized up Chu Mi, and saw that Chu Mi's face was plain, the kind that wouldn't be looked at more often on the street.Little did they know that Chu Mi was wearing a diaper at this time.

"In the beginning, Xiaodu was neither close to me nor my senior brother." Chu Mi recalled the scene when Dongfang Du first came to Wuya Mountain, "He refused to call me senior brother, and he refused to call me senior sister. No matter how you tease her, she is just weak. She gave us a weak look, then turned around and left." There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "It seems that we are afraid that we will bully her."

Concubine Xian lowered her eyebrows and sighed, "Du'er was raised in this Zhaoxian Palace since she was born, and has almost never left this Zhaoxian Palace, and only Ling Wu was with her, and she has never played with other princes." Feel guilty in my heart, if it wasn't for a single thought, how could I let Dongfangdu dress up as a man and become a prince, "If I let her be a princess from the beginning..."

"Is it because of her identity that she is not allowed to have contact with others?" Chu Mi looked at Concubine Xian with probing eyes, wanting to know why Concubine Xian made such a decision.

Concubine Xian nodded, "Status is one reason, and another is her poor health." She sighed again, "Senior Sister Chu, continue to talk about Du'er's childhood." It is very distressing to know what his child was like when he was a child.

"Later, my senior brother and I kept a close distance from Xiaodu. After getting along for a long time, Xiaodu was willing to call us senior brother and senior sister, but he always kept a distance on purpose. Senior brother and I often like to talk to each other. The lake catches fish, but Xiaodu is always far away from the lake, and I have never seen her go into the water once."

"I guess it's because I'm afraid that you guys will know her identity, my prince." Concubine Xian felt a pain in her heart.

"Concubine Xian, do you want to know how I know Xiaodu's identity?" Chu Mi raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Concubine Xian.

"Could it be that you used the aggressive method to push her into the water?" Concubine Xian looked at Chu Mi with a smile on her face, "It would be great if Du'er was a man, and I will definitely match you and Du'er." '

"Haha, it's not aggressive." Chu Mi laughed, "I saw that she refused to go into the water, and I asked her why, but she said she couldn't swim, so I found an opportunity to kick her directly into the water. "Thinking that the concubine Xian in front of me is Dongfang Du's concubine mother, she quickly restrained her smile, "I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, it's all children, so I can blame you." Concubine Xian said with a smile on her face, "What happened after you kicked her into the water? Did you learn to swim?" She sighed inwardly, unexpectedly, Chu Mi also had the same feeling. Such a rough side.

"Oh..." Chu Mi couldn't help sighing, "When I stepped into the water, I sank straight to the bottom. I saw something was wrong, so I quickly went into the water to catch her. Since then, she has become more afraid of water. It was also at that time, I knew She's a woman." So what if she knew she was a woman, but she didn't love her senior brother, but fell in love with her little junior brother who was actually a woman.

After listening, Concubine Xian sighed: "It turns out that Du'er is afraid of water, but I just realized it at this time..." The conversation changed, and she said: "I see that Du'er is very close and trusting to you now, and treats you as a senior sister. How is your feeling compared to that senior brother?"

"Speaking of which, Du'er's feelings for senior brother can't be said to be deep, but they are three points deeper than others, but compared with me, they are far behind." The corners of Chu Mi's mouth rose even more, "Senior brother I have also been jealous, saying that his senior brother also takes care of Xiaodu in every way, so why can't I get close to him and clings to me all day long."

"Clinging to you all day?"

"Yeah, after we were ten years old, we often went down the mountain to travel. Xiaodu has been by my side. Outside, I have to wear a bamboo hat to cover my face. I'm afraid that others will look at me as a senior sister, and even my senior brother won't take a look at me." ..." Thinking about when I was a child, I have so many memories with Dongfangdu, how can I justify it, I can only pick a few special passages to tell Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian's breathing stagnated, her heart skipped a beat, "Is Senior Sister Chu willing to be with Du'er forever?" The topic changed so quickly that Chu Mi was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer.

The smile froze on his face, and Chu Mi was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, "Concubine Xian, you... what do you mean?" What does it mean to be willing to be together forever?This is obviously not together!

Concubine Xian lowered her head and spoke softly, "Du'er probably has no chance to recover her daughter's body in this lifetime, and I blame this palace..." Then she raised her head, looked directly at Chu Mi, and asked seriously: "Senior sister Chu, Do you like Du'er?" Listening to what Chu Mi said about the past, Dongfang Du clings to Chu Mi and protects Chu Mi, so he likes Chu Mi!

Chu Mi blushed, and kept tugging with both hands, do you like it?Don't like it?Chu Mi didn't know how to answer, so he could only lower his head.Concubine Xian put her hand on Chu Mi's, and asked softly, "Senior Sister Chu, tell me, do you like Du'er?" The answer was obvious.Concubine Xian is someone who has been here, and seeing the way Chu Mi looks at Dongfang Du, she knows that Chu Mi likes Dongfang Du.When you love someone, you can't hide the love in those eyes, especially for a girl of her age, she doesn't know how to cover it up.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Mi finally nodded, "I have liked her for a long time."

"Ke Du'er is a woman after all, don't you mind?" Concubine Xian gently held Chu Mi, looked sideways at her, and waited for her answer.I already knew in my heart that if Chu Mi cared about Du'er being a woman, how could he fall in love with him? Since he liked it, he would no longer care whether Du'er was a woman or a man, but Concubine Xian needed her answer, her affirmation Clear answer.

"Mother Concubine, what are you doing holding Senior Sister's hand?" Dongfang Du came back, and saw his mother concubine's hand holding Chu Mi's hand at a glance, always felt a little dazzling, and had a special feeling in his heart.As soon as the words were finished, Lin Shunan, who was following Dongfang Du, stepped forward and saluted, "I will see the virtuous concubine and empress, all blessings, empress."
