The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

The moon is bright and clear tonight, and the moonlit sky is beautiful.

Ruan Mozhu was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. "I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then lower it to think of my hometown." Ruan Mozhu thought of her hometown and the modern world, and knew that her lamentations were useless. She should just focus on living her life well now.

Ruan Mozhu sat by the pool, took off her shoes and socks, and let her feet dangle in the water. Although it was cool, it felt nice.

"Actually, after being here for so long, my desire to go back has almost been worn away by time. I know it's impossible. So what if I'm a princess? So what if Wei Jingnan is a prince? He still can't change the order of time. Sigh, it's pitiful that I can only stay here for the rest of my life. But I still want to go back. Since I'm here, I must be able to go back. But I have no clue how right I am. Sigh." Ruan Mozhu said boredly.

"Your Highness has been eavesdropping for so long, aren't you going to show yourself?" Ruan Mozhu turned around and smiled at the bushes. Wei Jingnan walked out from behind them, his smile captivating.

Ruan Mozhu thought that this man must be the luckiest person in the world to have so many things that others might spend their whole lives without getting: status, looks, and wisdom.

"My beloved consort has excellent hearing; she actually managed to tell that I was behind the bushes." Wei Jingnan walked over and stood beside Ruan Mozhu, gazing at the moonlight together.

"Of course, Your Highness, your unchanging icy aura will never change. As long as you're by my side, even if you change your appearance, I'll still be able to sense it." Ruan Mozhu had no idea how sweet her words sounded to Wei Jingnan; was this a veiled confession?

"Can I take this as my beloved concubine confessing her love to me?" Wei Jingnan looked down at her with a sly smile. Ruan Mozhu was stunned and felt her whole vision blur before she plunged headfirst into the water. Wei Jingnan was secretly pleased and relaxed his guard, but he didn't have time to grab Ruan Mozhu. Ruan Mozhu fell in with a splash into the pond. Ruan Mozhu wasn't very good at swimming and kept splashing around in the pond, calling for help.

Ruan Mozhu felt the icy water rushing down her throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Wei Jingnan, gulp, I, won't, gulp, let, you, gulp, go." She choked on a lot of saliva. Ruan Mozhu thought that she must have owed Wei Jingnan a lot of money in her past life, which was why he had hurt her so badly. She was really useless, actually being stunned by his smile.

Oh my god.

Wei Jingnan wanted to go down, but he couldn't swim. What if they both fell in? Oh well, never mind, Wei Jingnan jumped in. He wanted to use his lightness skill to pull Ruan Mozhu up, but as soon as Ruan Mozhu touched him, she grabbed him tightly and wouldn't let go. Wei Jingnan was also pulled into the water, and the two of them were trapped in the water. Fortunately, the guards appeared in time and pulled them up.

Ruan Mozhu sat on the ground fixing her hair and clothes, while Wei Jingnan seemed to have fainted. Oh, I'm so sorry, she was only focused on getting fresh air, so she kept pressing him down while pushing herself up, which ended up making him miserable.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Wei Jingnan, Wei Jingnan, please don't scare me! I'm easily frightened, won't you feel bad if you frighten your beloved concubine?" Even now, Ruan Mozhu could still joke. She patted Wei Jingnan's handsome face. Fine, she'd go for it. Just as she was about to perform the legendary CPR, just centimeters away from touching him, Wei Jingnan suddenly woke up. Uh… Ruan Mozhu was about to back away when Wei Jingnan pulled her, and she ended up lying on top of him. Was this considered a forced kiss?

The guards blushed and withdrew.

Ruan Mozhu was displeased and used a move from her self-defense techniques that targeted the lower body. Sure enough, Wei Jingnan felt pain and let go, and Ruan Mozhu rolled to the side.

"Wei Jingnan, you actually took advantage of someone in distress—no, you actually—sigh, your character is just too wicked." Ruan Mozhu was at a loss for words.

"My beloved concubine, where did you learn this trick? I've fallen for it." Wei Jingnan slowly stood up, and Ruan Mozhu stepped back, afraid that he would try again.

"I learned this from TV. If you don't understand, don't ask." Ruan Mozhu rolled her eyes at him and stopped talking, waiting to see what Wei Jingnan would say.

What is television?

“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Get up now, go change your clothes. Look at you, all your princely aura is gone. You look like a drowned rooster, so pathetic.” Ruan Mozhu really knew how to use metaphors. Wei Jingnan chuckled. She was still so funny, always able to make people laugh.

He smiled, and his whole demeanor softened considerably. Ruan Mozhu looked away from him, afraid of being stunned again. Speechless, this was the first time she had been stunned.

"As a princess, aren't you going to help me up?" Wei Jingnan gestured for Ruan Mozhu to come and help him. Ruan Mozhu rolled her eyes, but still came over. This man deserved it.

"You, how stupid you are! How clumsy you are! You can't even swim, yet you still came to save me. Didn't you know how to call for help? Don't you have a mouth? Sigh, how could you be so stupid? If you died saving me, I would be the greatest sinner in the world. You can't die. With your looks, you'd be a top-tier specimen even at a sperm donation center, a hot commodity. You would become a rich person. It would be such a pity if you died." Ruan Mozhu looked at his appearance and sighed repeatedly.

"I'm not dead yet, why are you sighing like that? Don't worry, even if you die, I won't." He even learned to roll his eyes like Ruan Mozhu, and he did it quite well. Ruan Mozhu thought this prince was really interesting.

"Hmph." Ruan Mozhu stopped arguing with him. Seeing the two of them like this, the steward quickly gave instructions, and Ruan Mozhu finally didn't have to serve this prince anymore.

The maidservant took over from Ruan Mozhu in supporting Wei Jingnan, but Wei Jingnan refused to accept it. Ruan Mozhu was furious. He had just asked her to support him, but now that someone else was helping him, he didn't want to anymore. She was deliberately making things difficult for him.

After entering the room, Ruan Mozhu changed into her pajamas, took a shower, and prepared to go to sleep, only to find Wei Jingnan lying on her bed, propping his head up with his hand, watching her with great interest.

Ruan Mozhu found it all rather boring; this man was probably just bored again, treating her like a joke.

"The Chu River and Han border, let's not interfere with each other, okay, that's it, go to sleep, goodnight." Ruan Mozhu used a pillow to mark the boundary in the middle of the bed, so that the two would not disturb each other, but in the middle of the night Wei Jingnan still pounced on her, and she resisted desperately.

"My beloved concubine, I almost lost my life saving you, so why are you being so conservative?" When he mentioned losing his life, Ruan Mozhu's heart skipped a beat. Losing her life—what a terrifying word.

Lost in thought, she was taken advantage of by Wei Jingnan. She wanted to curse him, but Wei Jingnan said, "My dear consort, you said it yourself, 'One should not speak while eating or sleeping.'"

Ruan Mozhu was speechless.

The next day, Ruan Mozhu woke up groggily to find no one by her bedside, but the bed was still warm, indicating that she had left not long ago.

"Your Highness, may I come in?" It was Su'er, who was coming in to help her wash her face and fetch water.

Ruan Mozhu quickly put on her undergarments before straightening her expression and saying, "Come in."

Su'er came in, her face beaming with smiles.

"It was the Prince who instructed Su'er to come and wash the Princess. The Prince said that the Princess would be waking up soon." Su'er folded the bed sheet for Ruan Mozhu.

"He really understands me." Whether it was a compliment or an insult, Ruan Mozhu just smiled.

"Of course, Your Highness remembers the time when Your Highness should get up, the time for meals, and even the days of the month that women should have. Your Highness is very thoughtful. Your Highness is so lucky." Su'er said while busy. Ruan Mozhu slowly pulled down her collar in front of the mirror and found that the hickey was still there. She had to wear a high-necked shirt today.

Ruan Mozhu took matters into her own hands and went to the wardrobe to choose clothes. She picked out a bright red dress, which she thought was really nice, beautiful, and vibrant.

"Su'er, look, isn't this pretty?" Ruan Mozhu held the dress up and tried it on. Su'er was immediately struck by how beautiful it looked; the princess looked great in red.

"Yes, this dress makes your skin look fair and you look very beautiful." Su'er said this, and Ruan Mozhu agreed, so she decided to wear it.

After washing up, Ruan Mozhu came out of the courtyard wearing a red dress. The red was really beautiful.

Ruan Mozhu liked the bright red color and its captivating brilliance.

The dress was extremely beautiful, adorned with gemstones, making it very luxurious. Ruan Mozhu wore her hair in a flying fairy bun, with gold and silver hairpins that were very eye-catching, but they did not overshadow her face at all. On the contrary, they made her face even more stunningly beautiful.

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful." Su'er was stunned. Standing in the sunlight, the princess was as beautiful and dazzling as a fairy from heaven.

"Of course, if you, the princess, aren't beautiful, then who is?" Ruan Mozhu joked before leaving the courtyard to have her meal.

Sure enough, Wei Jingnan had been waiting for her for a long time, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up.

"My beloved concubine looks truly beautiful today." This was the truth.

"I'm glad I didn't disappoint Your Highness. I'm also pleased with what Your Highness said. Steward, please serve the meal." Because Ruan Mozhu hadn't come, the dishes were still warm and hadn't been served yet.

Finally, it was time to eat. The aroma almost made Ruan Mozhu lose all her ladylike composure, but fortunately, she managed to control her excitement.

"My beloved concubine, I wonder if you slept well last night?" Was Wei Jingnan deliberately trying to annoy her?

"It's alright, it's just that the prince's snoring is too loud." Ruan Mozhu's words made Wei Jingnan feel a little embarrassed, but he still smiled broadly.

"My beloved concubine, you strictly adhered to the rule of not speaking in bed last night, which pleased me greatly. I have decided to give you a gift." The pearl that Wei Jingnan had sent people to search for in the depths of the South China Sea was extremely precious.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The two were constantly arguing. After having breakfast, Ruan Mozhu returned to her room. Su'er brought a box, a gift from Wei Jingnan. When she opened it, she saw pearls inside. Ruan Mozhu's eyes lit up. These pearls could be used to make cosmetics. It seemed that pearl skincare products didn't exist in ancient times. Perhaps she could find another way to make money.

Ruan Mozhu asked Su'er to grind the pearl into powder. Ruan Mozhu then carefully considered her plan. Now that she had capital, everything was no problem. She would create her own path to wealth, covering all aspects of life, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation.

"What? That woman actually made Su'er grind the pearl into powder? That's too disrespectful to me! I'll see how I deal with her tonight!" Wei Jingnan was furious upon hearing his subordinate's report. These pearls were his precious gift, and she didn't value them at all.

Ruan Mozhu is becoming increasingly important to Wei Jingnan.
