The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Thinking of that young master Wang, Ruan Mozhu felt it was time to take him down, as he had been able to survive thanks to the Crown Prince's protection.

That young master of the Marquis was also particularly wronged, but Ruan Mozhu really had no choice, otherwise she would not have been able to subdue such a great general as the Marquis, so it was all worth it.

Ruan Mozhu walked together with Su'er and Xue'er. Ruan Mozhu tightened her coat, feeling genuinely warm. The two maids were not affected by the cold because of their high martial arts skills.

When Ruan Mozhu went to the temple, she found it very deserted. After all, it was winter, and there were far fewer people coming to worship.

Ruan Mozhu slowly went inside and found it to be very warm. There were monks inside striking wooden fish drums, and braziers were placed in various corners. It looked really nice.

Ruan Mozhu knelt on the cushion, clasped her hands together, and said, "I, Ruan Mozhu, hope that the Bodhisattva will bless me with a peaceful life and that all my wishes will be fulfilled." This is the principle behind wish fulfillment.

May the Marquis and his son rest in peace.

Su'er and Xue'er also quickly knelt down, each thinking of their own wishes.

Ruan Mozhu's wishes might be a bit too high; she simply wanted to have great power, a long life, and someone she loved by her side.

Ruan Mozhu looked at the Buddha statue and noticed that it was covered in gold dust. Ruan Mozhu looked at the lifeless eyes of the Bodhisattva and then said to Xue'er.

"Remember to add incense money when you leave." Xue'er understood Ruan Mozhu's meaning. Ruan Mozhu always gave a lot of money each time.

Looking at Ruan Mozhu now, Xue'er could only think that she was really very ladylike, and that she was always changing and so beautiful.

"Yes, Your Highness," Xue'er nodded.

At this moment, a host slowly walked over from the side.

"Amitabha, you are truly kind-hearted, female benefactor. Why don't you draw a fortune stick?" The abbot handed the bamboo tube for drawing fortune sticks on the altar to Ruan Mozhu. Ruan Mozhu looked up and saw a kind-looking abbot, so she nodded in agreement.

“Okay.” Ruan Mozhu took the fortune-telling tube, her mind filled with thoughts of the world, the imperial court, and the trials and tribulations she was destined to face. So she shook it.

"May the Bodhisattva protect me." It has to be a good fortune slip, Ruan Mozhu thought to herself.

Sure enough, she threw out a bamboo skewer, which Ruan Mozhu quickly picked up and examined.

Ruan Mozhu could only frown, because she couldn't understand what it meant.

"Amidst the myriad affairs of the mortal world, one must part the clouds to see the blue sky." Ruan Mozhu murmured, her red lips barely moving, her eyes still seeming somewhat bewildered. Was this divination ineffective?

Ruan Mozhu had no choice but to hand the bamboo stick to the abbot. Upon seeing it, the abbot smiled broadly and said, "You have too many troubles, benefactor. In fact, once you let them go, there's nothing left to worry about." As he said this, the abbot didn't forget to stroke his white beard, which was only five or six centimeters long. Ruan Mozhu thought he had some spiritual power when she saw his appearance.

What he said made Ruan Mozhu feel that it was really good. After all, this explanation suited her very well. She did have a lot of things to do, but what could that mean? It could only mean that she was very ambitious. How could she give up? She had finally come to ancient times, and she was determined to make something of herself.

Not tired at all, Ruan Mozhu felt fine, but she just felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to do.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master." Ruan Mozhu lowered her head and then stood up. Xue'er and Su'er helped her up. There was also Wei Jingnan at home. He had amnesia, but he wasn't stupid. She still needed to go back and take care of him.

“Female benefactor, all of this is just a cycle. Isn’t life just like this? We are born, and in the end, we all die. How many people can truly remain in our hearts forever? Why not let go?” The abbot seemed to understand Ruan Mozhu very well. He had a compassionate look on his face, but Ruan Mozhu found it very annoying.

Because Ruan Mozhu dislikes others pretending to know her well, and only she knows what's in her heart, she really doesn't want others to know or understand anything about her, because she is different from them, and they simply don't understand her.

Ruan Mozhu glanced at the abbot, smiled, and winked at Xue'er. Xue'er then took out a large bag of silver from her bosom, slowly stepped forward, and placed it in the abbot's hand, saying, "Abbot, this is the incense money added by our princess. Thank you for your guidance, abbot. We will take our leave now."

Xue'er's words pleased Ruan Mozhu, so she left without looking back. Ruan Mozhu felt very good about this; the host had really gone too far, saying so much about her. In fact, those who don't understand her shouldn't say too much, because they don't understand.

Ruan Mozhu left just like that. She thought she would never come to this temple again. Ruan Mozhu felt very upset because the abbot's words made her very unhappy. After all, she couldn't get over what the abbot had said. It made her feel as if the abbot could see through her thoughts and that she had nothing in her heart. This made her feel very unhappy.

Xue'er and Su'er followed quietly behind Ruan Mozhu. After all, they could sense Ruan Mozhu's displeasure, so they didn't say anything, just quietly held the umbrella for Ruan Mozhu and followed behind.

Ruan Mozhu went to that business street again, thinking that she should bring something back for Wei Jingnan; she couldn't go empty-handed.

So Ruan Mozhu went there. Looking at the street, she saw that business was really good. Ruan Mozhu entered a restaurant full of barbecue smells and found that there were many people inside. There were tables, and each table had a barbecue grill in the middle. People could grill and eat at the same time, which looked very pleasant. After all, in ancient times, in such cold weather, it was very nice to have a warm barbecue to eat.

Ruan Mozhu looked at the barbecue and the roasted potatoes. She thought that potatoes shouldn't be available this season, and wondered where they came from.

"Xue'er, why are potatoes still here this season?" Ruan Mozhu found it very strange. Did they have some kind of plastic terrazzo in ancient times?

Xue'er looked at the delicious-looking potatoes on the barbecue grill and said with delight, "Your Highness, you don't know this, do you? These potatoes grow in a place far away because there are hot springs around the land. So, potatoes can grow there without being afraid of the cold." Xue'er was quite surprised when she thought about it. Ruan Mozhu nodded in understanding.

Oh, I see. I'll definitely buy more roasted potatoes to eat later.

There was also grilled konjac and grilled fish, all grilled, which is very warm and suitable for eating in winter.

Ruan Mozhu had Su'er pack up about two bags, and the three of them were about to head back when Ruan Mozhu looked at the clothing store and realized she also wanted to buy some clothes.

So Ruan Mozhu went inside. She looked at the patterns and designs on the paper and thought, "Yes, they're all pretty much the same as what I drew. They're quite nice."

The clothes were all displayed on hangers, and they looked so beautiful that you felt an urge to put them on immediately.

The shop was doing good business. Because the people in the shop were very busy, no one came to greet Ruan Mozhu. Ruan Mozhu was quite free and took her time to look around.

Ruan Mozhu touched the fabric of the clothes and found that it was really nice. It felt warm to the touch and gave people a very warm feeling.

The floral pattern is very beautiful and gives the impression of a very ladylike outfit.

Ruan Mozhu took a fancy to a dress with white fur trim on the cuffs, neckline, and hem. It looked warm and elegant. Ruan Mozhu liked it at first sight, so she asked someone to bring it down and then went to try it on.

After Ruan Mozhu went into the dressing room and came out dressed, Su'er and Xue'er were also impressed. Of course, Ruan Mozhu looked very good.

Ruan Mozhu's eyes seemed to carry a coldness, her slanted eyebrows reached her temples, her nose was small and straight, her skin was like solidified cream, and her lips were like roses. She looked very sharp, like a sword, capable of doing many things.

Looking at herself in the large mirror, Ruan Mozhu thought she looked really good. With her hands clasped in front of her lower abdomen, she looked very quiet and ladylike.

Ruan Mozhu narrowed her eyes slightly, also thinking it was good. She had Xue'er give her the money and then went into the dressing room to change back into her original clothes.

Feeling warm after reliving the experience, Ruan Mozhu had her clothes packed into a bundle and gave it to Xue'er to carry. The three of them then returned to their residence.

When Wei Jingnan heard from the housekeeper that Ruan Mozhu had returned, he hurriedly went out to greet her. Looking at Ruan Mozhu, he said with a face full of joy, "Mozhu, you're finally back! I missed you so much!" Wei Jingnan wasn't stupid; he was just much more enthusiastic. Ruan Mozhu could only let him hug her. They had been like this for a month, and Wei Jingnan was always so enthusiastic. Ruan Mozhu didn't resist much and just let Wei Jingnan do as he pleased.

He must indeed be a prince, and I should take care of him.

So Ruan Mozhu could only let him have his way. She waited for him to let go of her, and then said, "I brought back some barbecue, lots of delicious food. Let's go inside and eat." Ruan Mozhu smiled gently into Wei Jingnan's eyes at close range, her radiance restrained, but it only slightly intoxicated Wei Jingnan.

Wei Jingnan was stunned. Ruan Mozhu could only smile softly. She then turned to the side, took the barbecue from Su'er's hand, put it on the table, and slowly opened it. The aroma of barbecue wafted out.

Ruan Mozhu asked Su'er to bring a plate, so she took out all the barbecue that was in the small iron box and put them on the plate one by one. Wei Jingnan strode in and said.

"It smells so good, Mozhu, this is barbecue! It smells so good, mmm, delicious!" Wei Jingnan couldn't wait to start eating, but it seemed to be very spicy, so he wasn't enjoying it.

"It's so spicy, I need water!" Wei Jingnan kept asking for water because of the spiciness. Ruan Mozhu could only sigh and poured him a cup of cold tea. He gulped it down and handed the empty cup to Ruan Mozhu with a pitiful look. Ruan Mozhu had no choice but to pour him more.

Finally, the spiciness subsided and he felt better, but he still continued eating. However, this time he was smarter and ate slowly, so he was able to really taste the delicious flavor. At first, he wolfed down his food, not only failing to experience the flavor but also finding it too spicy.
