The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

However, what she wanted even more was to have more and more things of her own in this world. She wanted to be a leader of a country and make her world a better place. Seeing them happy and content would be enough for her. Ruan Mozhu naturally had ambitions, but she wouldn't tell anyone. Even if she had ambitions, she would always admit it. Therefore, she had to achieve something before she was satisfied. The prince, naturally, didn't understand Ruan Mozhu's thoughts. He quickly continued, "Why don't you believe me? I love you so much." "You're probably just drunk. Never mind, you go to sleep, I'll go to the study." Ruan Mozhu didn't want to chat with him anymore, and was about to push him onto the bed when, unexpectedly, the prince pulled her down, and she ended up on top of him. Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, he's drunk now, she can't move around too much, otherwise, she might do something wrong. After all, he's a man, and he still has desires. Ruan Mozhu nestled in his arms, not daring to move an inch. Sensing her stillness, the prince chuckled softly, "Just lie here like this, it's more comfortable." Ruan Mozhu was speechless. Was he even comfortable lying on top of her like this? He was probably just lonely for a long time. Actually, this "loneliness" was somewhat amusing. A prince, after all, was a prince, yet he didn't share a room with her or Wang Fei. If outsiders heard this, they'd probably think there was something wrong with their relationship. Or perhaps, the prince himself had some problem. In short, many speculations were likely, given the large number of servants around. Ruan Mozhu, seeing his expression, couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected him to have no feelings for her. But then again, it was unexpected. She was a great beauty, and he wasn't completely unresponsive even with her on top of him. This was what made her even more peculiar. Speechless, Ruan Mozhu asked the prince, "What's wrong?" The prince, naturally, couldn't discern the meaning in Ruan Mozhu's tone, nor did he know what she wanted to ask. So he simply smiled and said, "I must have drunk too much. I was just acting crazy. Don't mind it." He would naturally sober up soon. Hearing this, Ruan Mozhu smiled, "I know you were just acting crazy, so I won't mind anything you say. Alright, you should get some sleep. I'm leaving now." Ruan Mozhu still wanted to leave, so she went to sleep in the study. She didn't want to sleep with him; she always felt a sense of oppression, like she couldn't breathe, when she slept with him. The prince must have gotten used to not having his own nightlife by now. The prince pulled Ruan Mozhu closer, saying, "Don't go. Just stay with me. Actually, I've missed my mother a lot lately. When she was little, she liked to sing me a song, a song unique to her tribe. It would make me drowsy." Hearing him reminisce like this, Ruan Mozhu smiled at him and said, "Are you having trouble sleeping? I can sing a lullaby. I'll sing it until you fall asleep." Ruan Mozhu thought that once he was asleep, she could get away, so she quickly agreed and began to sing a lullaby. The prince, naturally excited, exclaimed, "You can actually play a lullaby! But it sounds quite unfamiliar. What song is this?" Hearing this unfamiliar tune, the prince was naturally excited. Seeing his expression, Ruan Mozhu smiled and said, "This lullaby is a song from our time. People with insomnia would fall asleep after listening to it. Even mothers liked to sing this song to their newborn babies, which would make them drowsy. So, it was a powerful remedy back then. I'll sing it for you now. Are you ready?" Ruan Mozhu said this to the prince, whose eyes, naturally, shone with curiosity. "Sing it quickly! I'm all ears!" Ruan Mozhu chuckled at the prince's expression. He really did look like a child, a thought that the prince, of course, didn't realize. If it were the prince, knowing that Ruan Mozhu treated him like a child, he would probably be angry. After all, he's such a grown man, and to be treated like a child shows how far he is from a child in terms of ability. Ruan Mozhu, of course, wouldn't let the prince know her thoughts, so she began to sing him a lullaby. Ruan Mozhu's singing was truly beautiful. The prince, listening, indeed became drowsy. He closed his eyes and then said, "Where did this tune come from? It's so beautiful." The prince seemed to remember something, and he continued, "Listening to this tune, it's as if you're thinking of my mother. She's right beside my bed, singing me lullabies to help me fall asleep. But it's completely different from yours; she used a xiao (a type of vertical flute)." Hearing this, Ruan Mozhu chuckled, patted his cheek, and said, "Don't think of me as your mother. I'm singing for you now. Go to sleep. I see those dark circles under your eyes..." "It's been a while, you should take better care of yourself. Remember to go to sleep when you feel sleepy at night, otherwise your dark circles will get worse." Ruan Mozhu said this to him, which made the prince smile. He said, "Look at me, I've been so busy with official business lately, how could I have a chance to sleep? So I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Don't move, I'm going to sleep for a while." The prince was so sleepy, which surprised Ruan Mozhu. His words seemed to be telling her not to move. Okay, then she would be quiet. Ruan Mozhu lay on the prince's body and naturally felt that the prince was actually a very good person. However, she felt that the prince was too domineering. He insisted that she do things she didn't like. For example, she didn't want to stay in this palace, but he insisted that she stay here. There was no space for her at all. Did he ever think about her? He was only thinking about his own feelings, without considering how stuffy she was in the room. Besides, she was just a woman, so there wasn't much fun to do in the room. Now that she thought about it, she realized Wang was being a bit selfish. "Fine, whatever you want, I'm going to sleep too."
