Darkness of Rebirth

Thinking that the gift that he had already prepared for his senior sister was still in the cabinet, taking advantage of Banlan's absence, Dongfangdu turned around and went to get another small box.The Jue sent to An Yun was placed in a small red sandalwood box, but at this moment the small box in Dongfang Du's hand was made of golden camphor wood, and the pattern on the whole body looked like golden velvet at first glance. What will be in this box.

Dongfang Du naturally saw the curiosity in An Yun's eyes, but pretended not to know. Just when she was about to ask, Chu Mi came in behind Ban Lan.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the box in Dongfangdu's hand at a glance, and he twitched his mouth and asked with a smile: "Xiaodu, are you giving this to me?" It may be impolite in the eyes of others to ask for a gift. , but between them, it is nothing more than a normal thing.As soon as Chu Mi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand from the cloak, "This is for you." It was a navy blue brocade handkerchief inlaid with silver thread.

Dongfangdu took Chu Mi's brocade handkerchief with a smile, and put the small golden camphorwood box in her hand, "Senior sister, guess what's inside?" He didn't ask her to open it directly, just to see if she could guess it. What will I send myself.

Chu Mi weighed the small gold camphorwood box secretly, it wasn't heavy, and there was no special sound when he took it, it wasn't jade or gold and silver jewellery, he really couldn't guess what it was.After thinking about it, he tentatively replied: "Is it a jade pendant?" Gifts for others are nothing more than jade jewelry. Although I feel that the contents of this box are not these things, but at this moment, I can only guess whether it is jade.

Just when she said it was jade, An Yun's heart couldn't help but twitched, with a tingling pain, "Could it really be jade?" ! Ben's eyes fell on the small box, and then moved back to Dongfang Du's face, seeing that she was still smiling slightly, neither nodding nor shaking her head, her throat tightened, it wouldn't be true that she would give jade to everyone she saw, right?An Yun squinted his eyes subconsciously, and the cold light in his eyes flashed past.

Feeling the sudden chill, Dongfangdu glanced at the dark cloud beside him from the corner of his vision, and the chill really came from her.Isn't it just a gift to the senior sister? As for looking at her like this?

"Is it a silver hairpin?" Chu Mi didn't seem to notice the strangeness of An Yun, and continued to guess what was in the box, "Could it be a jade bracelet?" Dongfang Du nodded without even guessing three things, so he said, "Xiao Du , I can’t guess, can you open it and have a look?” This is really impossible to guess!In the past, when Dongfangdu gave her things, she would open them directly. She had never been guessed like this before, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Think back to when I was young, all the gifts were worthless little things.She gave Dongfang Du handkerchiefs and purses that she embroidered herself. Even though she wields knives and swords all day long, she is also good at embroidery with needles.

Dongfangdu gave her all wooden hairpins carved by herself, although she didn't need them, she accepted them one by one.At that time, their master Wu Yazi still said with a smile: "Xiao Du'er has given hairpins since she was a child, and when Xiao Mi'er reaches the age of Ji, she will have to marry Xiao Du'er if she doesn't marry..."

Dongfangdu cast his eyes on Chu Mi's face, smiled slightly, and said, "Open it and have a look."

Now that they are both at such an age, it is impossible for her to give herself such a cheap but affectionate thing again, right?If you still send those things, there is no need to let yourself guess.Even though he thought so, he still had hope.Chu Mi held the small box in his left hand, and gently opened the button with his right thumb, and slowly opened the box. The moment he saw the hairpin in the box, his eyes froze for an instant and then brightened again. on a smile.

"Why do you still give this little thing?" In terms of price, this small golden camphor wood box is hundreds of times more expensive than this wooden hairpin, but in terms of value, this wooden hairpin is a priceless treasure that cannot be exchanged for a thousand dollars.Obviously it was Mai Tai's words, but his tone was full of joy.Chu Mi took out the hairpin, smiled and said to Dongfang Du, "The wooden hairpin on my head can finally be replaced with a new one."

What she has on her head now is the wooden hairpin that Dongfang Du gave her when she was a child. At the age of 15, her master gave her a silver hairpin, and her senior brother gave her a jade hairpin, but she only loved the wooden hairpin and only used it to fix her hair.

The moment An Yun saw the wooden hairpin in the box, he thought of the wooden hairpin in Chu Mi's hair.Even women in the Jianghu seldom use wooden hairpins, only the poor will use wooden hairpins to insert/head.But looking at Chu Mi's outfit, one can tell that she is not short of money, but why does she like to use wooden hairpins?

It's not that I like to use wooden hairpins, but I just like to give wooden hairpins to people.

"Senior Sister, don't you dislike it?" Dongfang Du asked with a smile.

Chu Mi twirled the wooden hairpin in his hand, and just said: "This craftsmanship is much better than when I was a child." Even the wooden hairpin I had when I was a child was inserted in my hair without disdain, so why would I dislike the wooden hairpin I gave you now? ? "Xiaodu, can you help me put on this new hairpin?" He said and turned around, facing Dongfangdu with his back.

An Yun at the side understood the origin of the wooden hairpin from these few words. The wooden hairpin on Chu Mi's head was given by Dongfang Du, and what's even more annoying was that she was the one who made the wooden hairpin!Thinking about it carefully, the craftsmanship is much better than when I was a child!Explain what?It means that Dongfangdu would carve wooden hairpins for her since she was a child!

Thinking about myself again, I just took a piece of Jue. Although it was a token of love, no matter how I thought about it, I felt sour in my heart.She also wants hairpins!

Dongfang Du turned his head to look at An Yun, wanting to ask her what she meant, but saw her turn away, wondering if she was annoyed.When he was at a loss, Chu Mi turned his head to look at her, and urged, "Xiaodu, why don't you do it?"

Seeing that she was looking at An Yun, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what Xiaodu gave Yun'er?"

Hearing Chu Mi mentioning himself, An Yun turned his head and was about to answer, but Dongfang Du replied, "I polished and carved a piece of Jue and gave it to her." He not only answered Chu Mi's question, but also secretly told Anyun, that Jueyu, was polished and carved by her.At the same time, it also made Chu Mi understand that the relationship between the two of them, like this jade, has become Jue.

I thought that Jue was polished and carved by a jade craftsman, but I never thought that it was made by Dongfang Du himself.The heart that was already moved, was filled with all kinds of emotions at this moment, making her unable to speak, and could only stare at Dongfang Du in a daze.

Dongfang Du smiled at An Yun, only she could see the tenderness in his eyes.An Yun's heart instantly calmed down, and he smiled softly back.

Dongfang Du turned back, "Senior Sister, do you really want this wooden hairpin? Even though this hairpin is made of yellow rosewood..." As he said this, his hand had already been raised, he took off the original wooden hairpin, and took Chu Mi The wooden hairpin that was handed over was inserted into the hair with a light push, "Okay."

"Does it look good?" Chu Mi raised his head and asked.

"It's beautiful, this wooden hairpin is not good enough for you." Even if Chu Mi changed her appearance, in her heart, her appearance after the disguise was not inferior to anyone else.Chu Mi asked about the wooden hairpin, but what she answered was her appearance.

Ban Lan had been standing beside her all the time, but the three of them didn't seem to notice her existence. She was like air, just quietly watching their every move.She didn't even have a share in giving gifts.For the past four years, she has been by Dongfang Du's side, but as soon as she came back, her status seemed to have changed from a personal maid to an ordinary court lady.

How could Dongfangdu fail to notice her, saw the faint disappointment on her face, smiled and waved, "Banlan, come here, I have something for you too."

As soon as he heard that he had something to put away, the disappointment on his face dissipated instantly. "Your Highness, do you have anything for this servant?" He said as he ran towards her like a deer, blinking his big eyes and looking at her expectantly.

An Yun and Chu Mi both stared at Dongfang Du at the same time, wondering what she wanted to give Ban Lan.In their eyes, Ban Lan was just a personal maid, to be precise, she was a personal maid who accompanied Dongfang Du to disappear for four years.When a master gives something to a servant, it is called a reward, but judging by Dongfang Du's expression, it definitely does not mean to reward a servant.

Dongfangdu took out a small square wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Banlan.Banlan opened it and saw that it was a pair of Hetian jasper earrings inlaid with silver. She hurriedly closed the box, put it on her chest, raised her eyes, and stammered, "Your Highness, are you... this... a servant?" Chu Mi and An An Yun couldn't understand Banlan's excitement, but it was just a pair of ordinary jade earrings, why was he so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently?

"I saw that you liked it, so I bought it." On the way back, when passing by a small stall, Ban Lan happened to lift the curtain, and happened to see this pair of jade earrings. He glanced at the pair of jade earrings, but since they were by Dongfang Du's side, and both of them were in the car, it was inconvenient to leave, so he could only give up.After the car drove away, he sighed quietly.

Ban Lan didn't expect that Dongfang Du's heart would be kept in his mind even after he took a second look and sighed quietly.This jade earring is ordinary, but it can be remembered in the heart, how can she not be excited?If it weren't for Chu Mi and An Yun, she really wanted to rush to hug Dongfang Du.

Seeing her look of wanting to hug but not daring to hug, An Yun raised his eyebrows, not seeing her for four years, it seems that her ability to make girls happy is getting better and better!Look, this Banlan is so excited that she can't wait to give her body!

"Banlan, seeing how happy you are, why don't you go back to your own room and try this jade earring." Chu Mi said to Banlan with a smile, and turned to look at Dongfangdu with a meaningful look. Dongfangdu understood, and followed Said: "Ban Lan, there is nothing wrong with me here, why don't you listen to my senior sister and go back and try this pair of jade earrings."

Because Ban Lan is Dongfang Du's personal maid, her room is next door to this bedroom, and it is enough to come and go in a short time, "Your Highness, I... slave... slave will be back soon!" For those who please themselves.Judging by Banlan's appearance, she intends to go back and dress up, and then put on this pair of jade earrings to please Dongfangdu.

"Don't be in a hurry to come back. Today is the first day of the first lunar month, and I will allow you to rest for three days. On the third day, the prince and brother will hold a banquet in the East Palace. You can stay by my side at that time." Dongfang Du said , thought for a while, and then said: "If you are free, you can go out of the palace for a walk, maybe sister in red is waiting for you."

Originally full of joy, when Gu Hongyi was mentioned, Ban Lan couldn't help but curl her lips, "Not leaving the palace! The servants will stay by His Highness's side, and won't leave even a single step!"

"Uh, Bengong wants to accompany Senior Sister and Yun'er." The meaning in these words couldn't be more obvious.This made her rest for three days. It's not because she feels sorry for her to let her go on vacation, but because she doesn't want her to be an eyesore by her side!

After Banlan left, Dongfang Du asked: "Senior Sister, do you have something to tell me?" In fact, Banlan is not considered an outsider, and Banlan knows everything she does.But Chu Mi didn't want Ban Lan to listen, so she followed Chu Mi's wishes and sent Ban Lan away.Thinking that Ban Lan was always by his side to serve her, he simply gave her a three-day vacation to let her have a good rest.

Chu Mi turned his head and glanced at An Yun, who then said, "You talk, I'll go out." He made a gesture to leave.

Dongfangdu reached out and grabbed An Yun's wrist, and said to Chu Mi: "Senior sister, Yun'er is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, tell me, and she will know." The implication is that whether she stays or not, An Yun Everyone will know what they said, so let her stay.

Before Chu Mi could open his mouth, An Yun said, "No, let's talk, I'll watch outside the door." He pointed to his clothes, "Isn't this just wearing the clothes of a court lady?" Withdrawing his hand from Dongfangdu's, he smiled in relief and turned to leave.
