Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Liang Jin calmed down, got up and headed to the exit leading to the shift.

The moon and stars were sparse, and under the dim palace lantern, the shadow cast by his tall body became even longer.

Liang Jin dragged his steps back and happened to bump into Ziyun.

Liang Jin stopped, glanced at Ziyun, and then greeted politely: "It's so late, where is Miss Ziyun going?"

They both worked in the inner court, and they often bumped into each other, but even if they bumped into each other, Liang Jin just nodded slightly and passed by.

 This was the first time I stopped like this and spoke to her.

Ziyun was surprised for a moment and replied: "Princess Bao was bitten by a mosquito yesterday. I went to the Imperial Hospital to get some plaster for the princess to reduce the swelling."

Liang Jin nodded slightly, and when Ziyun was about to pass by, he called her again.

Liang Jin is a man of few words. When Ziyun heard his call, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Is there something wrong, Commander Liang?"

Liang Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you please ask me to speak further? I have a few words to say to you."

After Ziyun heard this, she nodded suspiciously.

Liang Jin turned around, and Ziyun held up her skirt and followed slowly. Liang Jin was tall. He was wearing soft armor and had a long sword on his waist. As he walked, the long sword collided with the soft armor and made a slight sound. The impact hit Ziyun's heart.

Ziyun's face gradually heated up, and his heart was beating hard. He suddenly stopped under a big tree. Ziyun who was following him almost bumped into him. Ziyun hurriedly stopped. She stopped in her tracks. Because of her panic, the beaded hairpin on her head shook violently. She raised her hand to support it.

"What do you want to say to me?" Ziyun tried not to look at him. Although she pretended to be calm, her words still stuttered.

Liang Jin looked at her and said, "My queen wants to marry you and me. Do you know about this?"

When Ziyun heard this, she raised her head suddenly and hurriedly replied: "Is there such a thing?"

 “I, I don’t know.”

Liang Jin continued: "I just heard your Majesty talk about it."

He smiled at Ziyun: "Don't worry, since it's your wish, I will definitely treat you well in the future."

Ziyun looked at him, but her mind was in confusion, and she didn't know how to answer his words.

"That's what I want to say." Liang Jin looked at Ziyun and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the way he came from, making a "please" gesture to her.

Only then did Ziyun come back to her senses, and she hurriedly said: "No need to see me off!"

 After saying that, Ziyun hurried away as if running away.

She almost jogged back to Jiaofang Hall. After stepping into the main hall door, she remembered that she had married Yao Yao for Princess Bao. Ziyun touched her chest, then turned around and left Jiaofang Hall, turning back. Enter Princess Bao's bedroom.

Princess Bao had just come out of the bath. When she saw Ziyun, she was surprised and said, "Auntie, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Ziyun subconsciously touched his face and hesitated: "Maybe it was blown by the wind."

 “Have you brought the ointment?”

"Take it." Ziyun stepped forward, took out the ointment, and applied it on Princess Bao's arm bit by bit.

Princess Bao looked at Ziyun who was busy working for her and asked, "Is this prepared by Dr. Wen?" Ziyun smiled and said, "How do you know, princess?"

Princess Bao said: "The ointment prepared by Dr. Wen doesn't smell bad. The mosquito repellent ointment they brought back yesterday was applied to me. It was so smelly that I couldn't sleep well at night."

Ziyun replied: "If the princess likes this, she can wear it before sleeping. It can not only relieve the pain and itching of mosquito bites, but also prevent mosquitoes."

 “Auntie, you are so kind.”

Ziyun patted the princess's arm and said softly: "It's getting late, I have to go to the study tomorrow, so go to bed soon."

Princess Bao nodded, and then asked: "Auntie, are you getting married? Will you no longer be able to be in the palace after you get married? I won't be able to see you every day."

Ziyun is the most considerate maid around Jingshu. She loves these children as much as Jingshu, so the prince and princess Bao are close to her.

 When Princess Bao talked about Ziyun's marriage, her little face fell down, looking aggrieved.

Ziyun smiled and said, "Who did you hear this from?"

Princess Bao replied: "I heard what the Queen Mother said. Yesterday I went to Jiaofang Palace and heard outside the door that the Queen Mother was forcing the Emperor Father to grant you a marriage. They also mentioned Uncle Liang."

Ziyun was startled for a moment, then smiled lightly and replied: "It's okay, my aunt will not get married."

After coaxing Princess Bao to sleep, Ziyun left Baoning Hall and sat outside alone for a long time.

On the second day, Jingshu sent Li Ling off to court and sent the children to school, but Ziyun didn't come. When she asked, all the maids in the palace said that Ziyun hadn't come since early in the morning.

Normally, whenever Jingshu gets up, Ziyun will come over to serve her. Jingshu worriedly asked: "Is it possible that she is sick?" Then, she ordered to Danzhu: "Go and have a look. If you are sick, Immediately call for the imperial physician."

Danzhu took the order and left. When she got out of the palace, she turned back to Jingshu and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Ziyun is here."

Just as he was talking, Ziyun stepped into the room, but his expression was unusual. Jingshu asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ziyun shook his head slightly and said to Jingshu: "Mother, I have something to ask of you."

Ziyun has been following her since she was a child. Over the years, she has never heard her request anything from her. Jingshu waved her hand and left the maid in the palace, and asked Ziyun, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulty?"

Ziyun was silent for a moment, then knelt down in front of Jingshu and said, "My queen, please take back your order. I don't want to marry General Liang."

Jing Shu had this plan, but she had not issued the decree yet. She hurriedly supported Ziyun and said sincerely: "I intend to help you and Liang Jin. I just told your majesty about it yesterday and asked him to ask. What does Liang Jin mean? Did Liang Jin find you privately?"

Ziyun likes Liang Jin. Although she has never announced it verbally, she cannot hide this from Jing Shu.

Ziyun replied: "He did find a slave yesterday, but he had no intention of rejecting her. Instead, he promised to treat me well."

Jing Shu said: "Isn't this a good thing? You have always been attracted to him, and now you have asked him clearly about his intentions. For someone like Liang Jin, since he has made such a promise, he will definitely be able to fulfill it in the future, so why are you unwilling."

Ziyun shook his head, raised his eyes and looked at Jingshu and said, "My dear, I know that you are planning for me wholeheartedly and wish me well, but I am really not suitable for General Liang."

Jing Shu frowned and said doubtfully: "Since you are interested in him and he is willing to marry you, why are you so inappropriate?"

"Are you still worried about your identity? Don't worry. I have made it clear to His Majesty that I will accept you as my adopted sister, and Your Majesty has promised to give you the honor of being the county lord."

Ziyun hurriedly replied: "I will never be able to repay you for your great kindness, but I really don't want to marry General Liang."

“If I really want to find a home for me, then I should choose Dr. Wen from Natai Hospital.”
