The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

This was the highest status in the Bamboo Green Pavilion, yet she felt no joy, only a profound sense of heaviness, because she knew her position and her responsibilities. The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility; as the saying goes, the higher the ability, the heavier the responsibility. Ruan Mozhu wanted to sleep; she felt so tired, as if she hadn't had a proper rest in ages. She naturally slept soundly. However, she felt cold, and Xue'er was still beside her. Feeling cold, Ruan Mozhu patted Xue'er's hand and said, "Go do your work. Since you came in, you've only known how to serve me, so you've missed a lot of tasks." Xue'er actually laughed at this moment, "For you, you're willing to give up anything. Everything I have now is given to me by you. What, are you afraid of tiring me out?" Ruan Mozhu also laughed, "It's not that I'm afraid of tiring you out, I just feel a little guilty. After all, I haven't done anything, yet I receive so much from your hard work. Don't you complain? Complain? Actually, I'm just an ordinary woman, yet I've been able to do so much." Xue'er truly laughed. "I know you're different from us, and naturally we're all truly loyal and sincere. Don't worry about anything. There's a saying that goes, 'When you're at a high position, you're bound to fear someone eyeing your position at any moment.'" "There's also a saying that goes, 'The higher you climb, the colder it gets.' Like the emperor, although he's the chosen one, sitting on the throne, he constantly worries about others eyeing his position and plotting to usurp it. I only hope that Your Highness won't think like that, because we're all family. If we follow your wishes, we'll all be united." Ruan Mozhu smiled, because she never expected Xue'er to have considered her thoughts. Besides, she was quite pleased with Xue'er's perspective. She felt warm and reassured. Ruan Mozhu smiled slowly and then peacefully fell asleep. Xue'er covered her with the blanket and said, "Get some sleep. Everyone's here." Ruan Mozhu smiled inwardly, surprised by Xue'er's warmth, which she truly appreciated. I have no idea what the prince is doing, and naturally, I don't know either. All the prince does is eat and sleep in the palace, and that's it. Sometimes I envy him. After all, he's just an ordinary person; he can do whatever he wants. But these feelings stem from a touch of envy, a bit of faith, and even from his kindness and deep affection. My cold heart has been deeply melted. I know in my heart that I owe the prince a lot, and I'm well aware of his selfless devotion to me all this time. Deep down, I feel very warm inside. Besides, the prince is so handsome, like a ray of sunshine in winter. With him by my side, I'm not afraid of any hardship. His face was like a ray of warmth appearing in the cold winter wind, making one feel as if bathed in spring sunshine. Now that she had the prince, she naturally had nothing to fear. Ruan Mozhu felt as if she were just a child who had left home, but in reality, she had the prince waiting for her at home. She always had something to rely on, so no matter where she went, she wouldn't be afraid. She woke up at this time, finding it was already afternoon. It wasn't too cold then; it was early spring, so the temperature was still slowly rising. It was still a bit chilly, and Ruan Mozhu huddled up, her body stiff from sitting curled up in the chair for so long. She stood up, warmed herself up, and found it quite pleasant. She opened the palace door and found the scenery outside truly beautiful and magnificent. She could see the distant mountains below, bustling with activity, all lit up with lanterns. Ruan Mozhu knew that she could never live an ordinary life again, because her life was destined to be extraordinary. But even with all her thoughts, she could only go with the flow. It was Su'er who draped a coat over her shoulders. "Your Highness, it's cold," Ruan Mozhu said with a smile, pulling the coat tighter around her. "Knowing you were here made me sleep soundly, but you've been keeping watch over me too. Go and rest, I'll watch over you." Su'er was truly touched by Ruan Mozhu's words, but knowing their different statuses, she smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm not aggrieved. I just wanted you to know the plan. You need to think about what to do after we arrive at Zhuqing Pavilion, or what we should do when we get back." Su'er knew they were both restless people, and Ruan Mozhu smiled. Indeed, they were truly restless; there were so many things to do, they couldn't stop for even a moment. Ruan Mozhu smiled, gazing at the lanterns in the distance. It had been a long time since she'd played there. "Come on, let's go down and play!" Su'er exclaimed in surprise, "How can we go down? Besides, Your Highness, you are of noble status. What if something happens? What about the responsibility?" Ruan Mozhu laughed, "There are no 'what ifs.' Just come with me. It was my own playfulness; I'm old enough to bear the consequences." Su'er smiled, "Alright, Your Highness, let's go then." The two naturally descended the mountain together. Using their light-footed skills, the descent only took about ten minutes. Ruan Mozhu found it thrilling. The descent was downhill, and her light-footed skills made it feel like flying, which made her feel both dangerous and excited—a feeling she enjoyed. No need to worry about the consequences, just go wherever the tide goes. No need to be as cautious as when I was in charge. That's how it really is in the palace; no matter what, you're always thinking about the next step or how to handle the next task. Because you're in a high position, every action you take is decisive, and naturally, you become a leader. You're never allowed to make mistakes, because those mistakes are ones you can't afford to bear.
