Su'er thought the princess was incredibly clever; after all, she thought of everything, and he could think of everything too. Her mind was too sharp. However, judging from her expression, she didn't seem very happy. She wondered what troubles someone as intelligent as her could have. She possessed so much wisdom, yet she was just a woman. If she were a man, she would surely achieve even greater things in the future.

In the past, the Prince's mansion was always quiet and deserted during the New Year because he didn't like crowds. But this year, with the Princess Consort, she has many ideas to make people happy. He seems to be able to come up with many good ideas to make everyone happy, but there is never a smile on her face.

The room was filled with fragrance because Ruan Mozhu used the finest spices. Although I can't forget it, if you try to smell it carefully, you can't smell it anymore, but there's always a fragrance on the tip of your nose. This is called something that's faint and elusive.

Ruan Mozhu took great care in arranging all of these things.

To others, Ruan Mozhu was a smart person. After all, she owned so much, including Zhuqing Pavilion, the modern restaurant, and everything else, including the children who were able to go to school because of her, and the people who were able to support their families because of her. She had done so many good deeds, but what about it?

The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, as if it had no intention of stopping, as if it wanted to dress the world in a white coat.

She had never seen such heavy snow before; she had only seen a layer of white on the distant mountains, but had never seen it up close or come into close contact with it.

The first time in my life I've ever seen such heavy snow was in ancient times, not in my hometown, in modern times.

This made her feel somewhat emotional, and her thoughts drifted far away.

Seeing her like this, Wei Jingnan put his hand in front of his eyes and shook it, but Ruan Mozhu seemed to be lost in thought and didn't see him. Wei Jingnan had no choice but to pat her face, and Ruan Mozhu came to her senses. At this moment, Wei Jingnan said.

"What are you thinking about? You're lost in thought." Ruan Mozhu thought she couldn't possibly tell him what was on her mind, so she said.

"Oh, I just spaced out, it's nothing." And so the two of them got over it in a pleasant way.

Winter was getting colder and colder, and Ruan Mozhu was wearing a lot of layers. Wei Jingnan seemed to be impervious to the cold, so Ruan Mozhu put a scarf she had knitted herself on him. Wei Jingnan touched the scarf with a curious look and asked, "What is this?"

Seeing Wei Jingnan's excited expression, Ruan Mozhu found it quite amusing. After all, he was from ancient times and had never seen these scarves before. These were modern items, and Ruan Mozhu had brought modern things to ancient times, thinking that they might actually be useful. Wei Jingnan's expression was truly hilarious, so Ruan Mozhu giggled.

Wei Jingnan didn't know why Mo Zhu could laugh so happily. Of course, he didn't know that Ruan Mo Zhu was laughing because of him.

It was because of his ignorance that Ruan Mozhu laughed so happily. Because he was from ancient times and had never seen these things before, he always had a look of novelty on his face, which made Ruan Mozhu find it very funny. Ruan Mozhu didn't know why, but her mood also followed Wei Jingnan's. Could it be that she had really fallen in love with this amnesiac man? She was probably just incredibly bored.

Wei Jingnan touched the scarf with a happy expression, because he knew that it was hand-knitted by Ruan Mozhu. Only Mozhu could make something so warm and to his liking.

After all, husband and wife are of one mind. If Ruan Mozhu knew what he was thinking now, she would probably want to slap him. Who is husband and wife with him? It's only in name. When the time comes, she will leave. This ancient world is so big. She hasn't had enough fun yet. She doesn't want to be locked up in this palace and become a little bird in a golden cage.

As the saying goes, "Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all." That's the idea. So, Ruan Mozhu also felt that freedom was the most important thing. No one could lock her up. There was no way around it; she longed for freedom.

Wei Jingnan looked at Ruan Mozhu and thought to himself that Mozhu seemed to be getting more and more lost in thought. Last time, she locked herself in her room to draw blueprints. After she finished drawing them, she came out, but she would often drift off into a daze. When the two of them chatted, the conversation would always go off-topic and revolve around the things she needed to do. This made him very unhappy, but he was helpless. It was as if she had gone mad.

She's too busy, she's too tired. For a woman to do this much, it's really impressive. Actually, Wei Jingnan sometimes wants to be a support for her, but she's always unexpectedly strong, making him feel that she hasn't yet shone brightly. He's looking forward to it, so he lets her keep working so hard. She's so tired, and sometimes he wants to help her share the burden, but she always hides everything from him and never tells him anything. There's nothing he can do, so in order to make her feel at ease, he just pretends that he doesn't know anything.

Looking at Wei Jingnan wearing a scarf, Ruan Mozhu thought his features were exquisite. In fact, if he were in modern times, he could make a living based on his looks. After all, he has good physical attributes. There's nothing she can do about it; he's naturally beautiful. There's no use being envious. As for someone like Ruan Mozhu, she can only rely on her own maintenance.

Fortunately, Ruan Mozhu knew how to maintain her appearance. Although the women in the palace didn't look very old, Ruan Mozhu understood that they relied on cosmetics to maintain their looks and avoid looking unattractive. In reality, their appearances had already aged. Ancient skincare products were mostly just flower petals, Chinese medicine, and milk. Ruan Mozhu discovered this business opportunity, which is why her skincare products were very successful.

After all, these are all popular products. Ruan Mozhu thought that she could also promote the skincare products to the palace. Currently, the skincare products only benefit people outside the palace. If she promoted them to the palace, and the imperial concubines and empresses used them and found them good, they might even become her spokespeople. Then Ruan Mozhu would really make a fortune. Ruan Mozhu's idea was excellent.

Let the empresses and imperial concubines experience the effects, and then have them endorse the product. This will be more credible, and her business will reach new heights in the future. After all, endorsements from people of high status are different. Just like in modern times, those products become bestsellers after a celebrity endorses them. Why is that?

With her looks, status, and the adoration of the people, she's a heavyweight figure—a national mother, no less! If she endorses a skincare product, it's bound to become incredibly popular.

Ruan Mozhu could almost see money falling down her throat; all she could see was money, money, money. For so long, she had been working tirelessly to earn money. Why? It was all for herself, so that she could have a better life in the future. She had probably had enough of the hardships she had experienced in the modern world. She not only wanted to make money, but also wanted others to make money and enjoy life as well.

This could be considered a benefit to the people, and Ruan Mozhu had many thoughts on this matter.

Wei Jingnan probably didn't know that Ruan Mozhu had such a big wish in her heart; he only thought of Ruan Mozhu as a smart woman.

"Mozhu, this thing called a scarf is so warm! Mozhu, you're so kind." Wei Jingnan's words were as sweet as honey, which made Ruan Mozhu feel very pleased. Ruan Mozhu liked to hear nice things, after all, who doesn't want to hear nice things?

Ruan Mozhu also had a smile on her face. Wei Jingnan looked at Ruan Mozhu like this and felt good about it. After all, Ruan Mozhu hadn't shown such a heartfelt smile in a long time. In fact, Wei Jingnan really wanted to see Ruan Mozhu smile, but since she changed, she was like a gentle but prickly person. There was nothing wrong with her at all, which made people feel uncomfortable.

She learned ladylike manners, how to walk, and how to speak; everything changed. But Wei Jingnan knew that Ruan Mozhu hadn't changed; she had never changed. She was still so kind; she had just put on a facade.

Ruan Mozhu felt a little embarrassed when she saw Wei Jingnan looking at her. After all, being looked at so closely by a man made her feel very awkward.

So she turned her head and said ramblingly, "You only know how to sweet-talk, fine, go out now, I'll tidy myself up and then we'll have dinner together." Ruan Mozhu thought that she shouldn't let Wei Jingnan see her dressing up. In fact, in ancient times, it was not allowed for a woman's husband to see her dressing up, because it was a woman's business and men should not watch. So Ruan Mozhu wanted to follow the rules and send Wei Jingnan away.

But Wei Jingnan objected. It was just getting ready; why was he being kicked out? It wasn't anything shameful. How could she be like this? Following the proper etiquette, she'd forgotten their marital bond. This was so heartless, especially in this cold weather. Was she courting death?

Wei Jingnan said with a very displeased expression, "No, I'm not going out. It's so cold outside. I'm not going out. It's just washing up, drawing eyebrows, and doing your hair. I can help you with that. I really don't understand what you're thinking, Mozhu. It's so cold outside and you still want me to go out. What if I freeze to death? Can you afford to compensate me?" Wei Jingnan displayed his rogue nature and just sat there and refused to move.

His face looked very aggrieved, with a shameless expression, which made Ruan Mozhu feel guilty. He hadn't done anything, so why did he look so wronged? She was speechless. Sure enough, men need to be pampered, and handsome men need to be pampered even more.

Ruan Mozhu finally understood that Wei Jingnan was clearly trying to cling to her, and Ruan Mozhu had no choice but to accept him.

So she sighed softly, "Oh well, whatever you like."

Ruan Mozhu sat in front of the dressing table, and Su'er came forward to start dressing and grooming her.

She helped Ruan Mozhu comb her hair even higher and placed a colorful jeweled crown in it. Ruan Mozhu looked so noble and beautiful. She took off her coat and changed into a very pretty winter dress, which looked warm and elegant.

It's time to draw your eyebrows. Ruan Mozhu likes to draw her eyebrows last because she feels that if she draws her eyebrows last and then applies makeup, she won't ruin her makeup when changing clothes or putting her hair up.
