The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

The children were overjoyed to hear this. They thought about their own lives, how they had to do chores before dawn and how their parents had to work from dawn till dusk. It was really tiring. If they could study hard and become top scholars, their families would no longer suffer.

The children's faces lit up with knowing smiles, and Ruan Mozhu was also very happy to see them.

So Ruan Mozhu said to the teacher, "We should divide them into three grades, with the older students being in the oldest grade. This way, they will take the imperial examinations in different years and there won't be too much competition in the future."

Ruan Mozhu then divided them into age groups, thinking that every year the imperial examination would produce outstanding scholars, including the top three scholars and even hundreds of successful candidates. As long as they all worked hard, they would all be able to achieve similar results with the high-paid tutors Ruan Mozhu hired. Ruan Mozhu felt that it would be very simple to take any exam in ancient times. Usually, it would be enough to write a good essay for the country and the people during the palace examination.

In ancient times, being an official meant serving the country and its people, so writings naturally revolved around the nation and its people.

Looking at these children, Ruan Mozhu felt that they were truly hopeful.

Ruan Mozhu would never know that these children would become the foundation for her to consolidate her power in the imperial court.

Ruan Mozhu went to check on the workshop again and found that they had all been cleaned up. Ruan Mozhu had someone take them to familiarize themselves with their dormitories. The workshop was really big, with dedicated factory buildings, as well as dedicated dormitories and living facilities. In short, there was no problem living here.

Ruan Mozhu also showed Xue'er the shop and bought one, planning to open a clothing store. How wonderful! She could make the good fabrics herself without having to sell them to others, but instead make the clothes herself and sell them. How great! Self-production and self-sales. Ruan Mozhu always thought about the next step as she took one step, and everything was interconnected.

Ruan Mozhu bought cotton silk at a high price. It wasn't cotton thread or anything like that, but cotton silk, just like silkworm silk. However, cotton silk is warmer than silkworm silk. If it were made into clothes, they would be thin and warm, and also have a good style.

Ruan Mozhu inspected the warehouse and found that there was plenty of cotton. She thought that she could start work tomorrow. Once she had the fabric, she would send it to the dyeing room. By the way, this workshop also had a small dyeing room, but it was really small, just a room. Ruan Mozhu had a large vat placed inside and fuel poured in.

Originally, Ruan Mozhu knew nothing about dyes. She had Xue'er select a large quantity of wild red roses and extract the juice. Then, she added some plant juice from ancient dyes to solidify the color, put a piece of cloth in, and then took it out to dry in the sun. In order to see the results quickly, Ruan Mozhu had it dried. She found that not only was the color solidified, but it also had a faint fragrance, like the scent of roses. This made Ruan Mozhu very happy. Clothes made from fabric with its own fragrance would definitely be very popular.

After all, which lady wouldn't want to smell nice and attract the person she likes? This fragrance can also be customized; for example, you can customize fabrics with the fragrance you like, and the color can also be customized.

Ruan Mozhu also had people promote it, and just like that, three more days passed. Ruan Mozhu's dyeing room was now operating normally and had an inventory. Ruan Mozhu looked at the many fabrics drying in the open space. These fabrics looked very beautiful, swaying and exuding the poetic and picturesque charm of Jiangnan.

Ruan Mozhu touched the fabrics and found them to be very soft. When she got close enough to smell them, they had a faint, pleasant fragrance that made her feel relaxed and happy. There were already a lot of fabrics drying in the courtyard. Ruan Mozhu thought that it was time for the clothing store to start operations.

So Ruan Mozhu went to the clothing store again. The clothing store had just been renovated and tidied up. Ruan Mozhu named the clothing store "Clothing Store". In the backyard of the clothing store, Ruan Mozhu set up a tailoring room and let people with excellent tailoring skills work there. Ruan Mozhu looked at the things they prepared, the needles and threads of different thicknesses and colors, which amazed her. Ruan Mozhu thought that these clothes in ancient times were all sewn, and since there were no sewing machines in ancient times, this was the only way.

If we had a sewing machine, the efficiency would definitely be a hundred times faster.

Ruan Mozhu had the first batch of fabric that had already been dried delivered so that they could start making clothes. The clothing store was estimated to open in three days, as it took time to make clothes.

Ruan Mozhu assigned them specific tasks. For example, those who sewed cuffs only sewed cuffs, and those who sewed collars only sewed collars. They were not allowed to slack off. If the cuffs or collars were not sewn properly, the group responsible would be held accountable, and their wages would be deducted from their pay.

These people all needed to make a living and support their families, so they all worked very hard. Ruan Mozhu first drew a design for a dress for them, and then they began.

Ruan Mozhu was also an arts and sports student in high school, studying fine arts. She knew a little bit about drawing and fashion design.

The person in charge of sewing the collar is responsible for sewing the collar and cannot be lazy. If the cuffs or collar are not sewn properly, the person in charge will be held responsible and their wages will be deducted from their pay.

These people all needed to make a living and support their families, so they all worked very hard. Ruan Mozhu first drew a design for a dress for them, and then they began.

Ruan Mozhu was also an arts and sports student in high school, studying fine arts. She knew a little bit about drawing and fashion design.

Ruan Mozhu wanted to design something beautiful for the opening, something that would broaden everyone's horizons. She drew a sketch of clothing styles and noticed that the clothes here resembled those of the Tang Dynasty, with features like rolled-up sleeves and strapless long dresses. Ruan Mozhu drew it very meticulously, including the patterns, the direction of the stitches, the style, the sleeve length, the skirt length, and even where to tie the waist. Everything was drawn with great care and looked very nice.

Listening to the sounds of the workers cutting, Ruan Mozhu kept drawing and drawing until dinner time. She got up and stretched, looking full of energy. She asked Xue'er to make her some minced meat porridge, and after finishing a bowl, she felt it was really good.

So Ruan Mozhu returned to the Prince's Mansion and hasn't really paid much attention to Wei Jingnan in the last few days.

He's been getting into trouble these past few days, and Ruan Mozhu is always cleaning up his messes. Every time Ruan Mozhu meets his aggrieved eyes, she feels that she can't beat this little devil, so she simply lets him do as he pleases.

After Ruan Mozhu returned, Su'er came forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the Emperor summoned the Prince to the palace tomorrow, saying that he wants the imperial physician to examine the Prince's head." Only then did Ruan Mozhu realize that the Emperor finally knew, and Wei Jingnan was truly going to live up to his reputation as a foolish prince.

Ruan Mozhu nodded gently and said, "I understand, you can go now." Recently, Ruan Mozhu has not been able to take care of Su'er anymore, because Xue'er is by her side. Su'er has no prince to back her up, so she can only listen to Ruan Mozhu. It's already good enough that Ruan Mozhu still lets her serve her closely.

Ruan Mozhu knew that Su'er was just a spy that Wei Jingnan had placed by her side. Now that Wei Jingnan was in this state, Su'er was no longer of any use. Ruan Mozhu only stopped caring about her because Wei Jingnan was no longer a threat.

Ruan Mozhu casually removed her hairpin, letting her hair fall loose, which made her look very beautiful. Ruan Mozhu turned to look at Su'er and noticed that her expression seemed quite unpleasant. "What's wrong, Su'er? Do you still have any doubts?"

Ruan Mozhu thought that she must be heartbroken and confused by her coldness towards her now. Ruan Mozhu didn't care about her. If it weren't for her reporting to Wei Jingnan after her escape, Wei Jingnan and she wouldn't have almost lost their lives. She was supposed to be her master, yet she wanted to be caught. Just for that, Ruan Mozhu didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"No, it's nothing." Su'er could only shake her head like a rattle-drum.

Ruan Mozhu smiled, then turned and left.

Upon arriving at the room, Su'er wanted to follow Ruan Mozhu in, but Ruan Mozhu kept her behind the door. Su'er knocked on the door and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why don't you let me in?"

Su'er was chattering a bit noisily outside, so Ruan Mozhu simply closed the door and said...

"What are you doing in here, Su'er? You're becoming more and more disrespectful. I'm very unhappy. If this happens again, you can go to the laundry room." Ruan Mozhu threw something against the door, making a loud noise. This frightened Su'er, who was outside the door, so she had no choice but to back down.

"Your Highness is getting stranger and stranger. Sigh, what's wrong with Your Highness? It feels like she hates me ever since she came back. First she distanced herself from me, then she found someone to replace me, and now she's driving me away. Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Su'er had no choice but to leave.

Ruan Mozhu sat down and looked at Wei Jingnan sleeping on the bed. She was tired all day, but Ruan Mozhu did not sleep. She was still waiting for the guards to come out and teach her martial arts.

"The Zhuqing Pavilion has suddenly risen to prominence in the martial arts world. The phrase 'Good people are not killed' that you customized for accepting missions seems to be quite popular. The Zhuqing Pavilion is quite unique in the martial arts world." This is what Xiao Hua said. He is the head of the secret guards and takes orders from Ruan Mozhu.

As Ruan Mozhu wielded her sword, she listened and said, "Taking orders isn't the main task. The most important thing is for the members of Zhuqing Pavilion to intensify their training and improve their martial arts. Your secret guards are quite skilled, so you must have your own unique training methods. Use them on them, and secretly drug them. In short, they must be used for my purposes." Ruan Mozhu wanted to drug them in case they rebelled.

Ruan Mozhu didn't want to drug them, but just in case, she thought it best to keep these people under her control.

Ruan Mozhu continued to wield her sword. She had almost mastered the sword in her hand. It felt like Ruan Mozhu was getting more and more comfortable with the sword. She looked very much like a heroine of the martial arts world. Ruan Mozhu put the sword on her back and looked at Xiao Hua.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Xiao Hua's gaze towards her suddenly took on a different look.

"They actually drugged them! What if they find out? Wouldn't that cause chaos and panic?"

"Quietly administer the antidote every six months. If any of them disobey and rebel, they will suffer excruciating pain, like having their bones scraped off. After one attack, the attacks will become more and more frequent, eventually occurring once a month." Ruan Mozhu's plan was very thorough.
