Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 187 The Night Banquet at the Prince of Xiang's Mansion

“The Prince of Xiang’s residence invited our whole family. When you went to the palace today, Madam Dong came over and said that it would be perfect if we could go together tonight.”

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh. The Xiangwang family was of noble status, and Yuan En had no dealings with the Song family. The fact that he had specially invited the whole family must have surprised many people.

Since the series of misfortunes that befell her family some time ago, she has experienced the coldness of human relationships. Now, seeing the Song family gradually getting better, her feelings are completely different from before.

“Before, not only the Prince of Xiang’s mansion, but even some families with whom we had a good relationship didn’t invite us,” Liu Ruyan said.

Song Ruozhen was also aware of this matter and said, "It's a good thing to see through their character through this incident. We should have less contact with them in the future and just keep things polite."

“You’re right.” Liu Ruyan patted Song Ruozhen’s hand. “You’ve really grown up…”

The Imperial Palace, Shaohua Palace.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Song not only helped the Empress Dowager find her long-lost pearl, but also the hairpin that the late Emperor gave to her. The Empress Dowager is very happy."

The Empress was surprised. "Are you talking about the hairpin that the late Emperor gave to the Empress Dowager years ago, the one that lost a pearl?"

She had a deep impression of this hairpin because the Empress Dowager had always valued it highly, and even she had helped send people to search for it back then.

Thinking that if she could find this bead, the Empress Dowager would be very happy, and she would be able to catch the Empress Dowager's eye.

Unfortunately, even after searching the entire Shaohua Palace, they couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, Song Ruozhen found it on her first visit to the palace today.

"Yes, I heard that the late emperor found the pearl and put it in the imperial study. He even made a new hairpin for the Empress Dowager as a birthday gift. Unfortunately, the late emperor passed away suddenly, and the gift could not be sent out."

Miss Song found it in the Imperial Study for the Empress Dowager, and not only was the Empress Dowager pleased, but the Emperor also rewarded her.

The Empress frowned, her mind involuntarily recalling Song Ruozhen's expertise in metaphysics. Could it really be that miraculous?

Just then, the Empress saw Lu Minhui walk in happily, her eyes brimming with undisguised excitement.

"Sister, guess what good thing happened to me?" Lu Minhui asked with a smile.

The Empress was secretly alarmed. Song Ruozhen had mentioned before that her sister would come to tell her good news today, but she hadn't taken it seriously. But now that her sister had actually come, wasn't it too much of a coincidence?

"Could it be that you are pregnant?" the Empress asked.

Lu Minhui had intended to keep it a secret, but the Empress guessed it right away. She was stunned for a moment, blinked, and asked, "How did you guess it?"

Upon receiving this affirmative answer, the Queen felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily shivered.

Song Ruozhen had actually foreseen everything!

"Sister, did you encounter anyone before you entered the palace today?" the Empress couldn't help but ask. Could it be that Song Ruozhen happened to overhear this news before entering the palace?

"No," Lu Minhui shook her head. "I suddenly felt unwell and nauseous during lunch today, so my mother-in-law called a doctor, and that's when I found out I'm already a month pregnant!"

"I never imagined that Song Ruozhen had actually predicted all of this. When I met her a month ago, she said that as long as I did it that night..."

Lu Minhui spoke with a little embarrassment, but mostly with excitement. After three whole years, she was finally pregnant!

"I never expected she would actually get pregnant. I really misjudged this girl before. She's a truly capable person. I definitely need to go and thank her properly. What kind of gift do you think I should prepare?"

Seeing her younger sister's joyful expression, the Empress recalled the scene when she met Song Ruozhen before, and her already complicated feelings became even more complicated.

This girl... is simply too amazing.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence? Didn't the doctor examine you before and say there was nothing wrong with your health, and that you would get pregnant sooner or later?" the Empress said.

"No, she must have helped me!"

Lu Minhui looked serious. She had never been so sure before. She had tried every method she could think of over the past three years. Even if it was a coincidence, it could never be this accurate!

"Sister, you don't know the news circulating outside. She not only predicted that I would get pregnant, but she also predicted that Madam Dong would get pregnant."

When the young master of the Dong family died tragically, everyone thought he had disappeared. Only Song Ruozhen knew that he was gone. She not only figured out who the murderer was, but also where he died and how he died!

You tell me, if she weren't truly capable, how could she possibly know all this?

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression changed involuntarily; this was indeed too miraculous.

Lu Minhui was completely absorbed in her excitement and did not notice the change in the Empress's expression. Instead, she said happily:

"Fortunately, when I met Song Ruozhen that day, the King of Chu was also there. If it weren't for the King of Chu's sake, I'm afraid my attitude towards her would have been very bad."

If I really did that, I'm afraid I would be deprived of the child in my womb.

Queen: "..."

……

That night, Song Ruozhen arrived at the Prince of Xiang's residence with her family, and the Dong family couple also came along.

Looking at the magnificent Prince's Mansion in front of him, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but exclaim, "The Prince's Mansion is truly spectacular. It's extraordinary just from the outside; the interior must be even more magnificent."

"Both the Prince of Xiang and the current emperor are sons of the Empress Dowager, and they have a very good relationship, so it's natural that they have a grand presence."

Dong Linqing chuckled. He had some personal acquaintance with the Prince of Xiang and knew very well how unhappy the Prince and his wife had been over the years because of the disappearance of the young prince.

Now that he knows the young prince has been found, he is naturally happy. However, he is also curious why the Prince of Xiang, who has not had much interaction with the Song family, has so solemnly invited the entire Song family this time. He can't help but wonder if this is also related to Miss Song.

Could it be... that the young prince was also found with Miss Song's help?

However, just as they were about to go in, they heard a surprised voice.

"Isn't this my cousin? I didn't expect to run into her here today."

Song Ruozhen turned her gaze and saw a woman of similar age, dressed very elegantly. After searching through the original owner's memories, she quickly learned the identity of the person in front of her.

Her cousin, Song Biyun.

Song Biyun's grandfather and Song Ruozhen's grandfather were brothers, but Song Ruozhen's grandfather, Song Chengwen, was the eldest son and was more valued by the family.

When the family divided their assets, most of the Song family's wealth ended up in their hands, which caused Song Biyun's branch to harbor resentment towards them. Over the years, the elders have never spoken to each other, and naturally, the younger generation is also not on good terms.

After the incident at the Song family residence, they hid aside and secretly watched the spectacle unfold, even spreading numerous rumors.

Song Ruozhen glanced at Song Biyun indifferently, but was more interested in the woman beside her.

Because this woman was none other than Ke Yuanzhi, the girl most loved by her love-struck fourth brother.
