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

Chu Junting glanced at Chu Tianche indifferently, and the latter showed a kind smile on his face. "Third brother, you must perform well in today's hunting competition. Your horsemanship and archery have always been outstanding among us."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will show mercy." Chu Junting's lips curled slightly, his arrogant attitude undisguised.

Chu Tianche's face darkened. What he couldn't stand the most was Chu Junting's arrogant attitude. Despite being younger than him, Chu Junting always looked down on him because he was born to the Empress.

He has always worked very hard in horsemanship and archery; this guy is really arrogant and overbearing!

When Tang Xuening saw the Prince of Chu appear, even though he was not the only prince present, she felt completely captivated by him the moment he appeared, and couldn't see anyone else at all.

If the King of Chu had become her husband, how many people would have envied her!

After today, all of this will come true!

Tang Xuening's face showed a confident smile, but when she saw Chu Junting walk out and head straight in the direction of Song Ruozhen, her smile vanished instantly.

"I noticed you were looking around just now, were you looking for me?"

Chu Junting's lips curled slightly as he looked at the fair-skinned and delicate woman before him. Today, she was dressed in a striking red outfit, which was truly stunning.

Song Ruozhen looked up and nodded slightly. "I was looking for you."

The woman's composed attitude startled Chu Junting slightly. A hint of surprise flashed across his deep, handsome eyes, and his refined features seemed a little uncomfortable as he subconsciously touched his ear.

"When the hunting competition starts later, can you come with me?" Song Ruozhen asked.

To get this done properly, it would be better to work with Chu Junting, which would also reduce the chances of things going wrong.

Chu Junting looked up, surprised that the surprise had come so suddenly?

He instinctively wanted to agree, but he had important business to attend to at the hunting competition today, and he wasn't there to show off. He was afraid it wouldn't be convenient to bring Ruozhen along.

Tian Jiaojiao was eavesdropping nearby when she saw Song Ruozhen take the initiative to invite him, but the King of Chu did not agree. She was overjoyed.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be there shortly," Chu Junting said.

Song Ruozhen nodded, and then saw him suddenly walk towards the Prince of Yun, as if he wanted to give some instructions.

"Song Ruozhen, you are truly shameless! I really thought the King of Chu was so good to you, but it turns out it was all because you begged and pleaded?"

Tian Jiaojiao wore a mocking expression, in a very good mood. It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding!

Tang Xuening was also delighted, but she was also a little confused. If the King of Chu had no interest in Song Ruozhen, then why did he cancel his engagement with her?

Song Ruozhen glanced at Tian Jiaojiao indifferently, "What? Are you jealous?"

"What?" Tian Jiaojiao was taken aback.

"If you're so capable, why don't you go and beg for it yourself? Nobody's stopping you, so why are you saying such sarcastic things here?"

As she spoke, Song Ruozhen glanced at Tang Xuening next to Tian Jiaojiao and chuckled, "Or are you embarrassed in front of Miss Tang? Why bother? Anyway, your sisterhood is so fragile that you don't need anyone to remind you."

Upon hearing this, those who had originally intended to laugh at Song Ruozhen were amused and their gazes shifted to Tian Jiaojiao and Tang Xuening.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't! Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

"It's better than someone deliberately plotting to fall into the water in order to get close to my second brother, and then framing another girl."

"When it comes to shamelessness, I have to admit defeat in front of you." Song Ruozhen's lips curled up slightly as she retorted without any politeness.

There were quite a few people who knew about Tian Jiaojiao's fall into the water and being exposed that day. However, just as the storm had passed, it was brought up again today, which shows that the memory is still fresh.

Tian Jiaojiao pointed at Song Ruozhen, almost bursting with anger. She had never met such a sharp-tongued woman.

Song Ruozhen was clearly the one who was making a fool of herself at this moment, but she ended up making her even more embarrassed!

"What are you so high and mighty about? Even the King of Chu doesn't want to talk to you!" Tian Jiaojiao said angrily.

After Chu Junting finished instructing Chu Yungui and returned, he heard these words. His handsome brows furrowed. "Who said that I, the King, do not wish to pay attention to Ruozhen?"

Tian Jiaojiao was startled. Meeting the man's cold gaze, she felt a pang of guilt and subconsciously explained, "Your Highness, it was Song Ruozhen who said you would take her with you to the hunting competition today. She's just talking nonsense..."

"Is what she said true? Is there a problem?" Chu Junting asked calmly.

"Wh-what?" Tian Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.

"Do I need to explain my affairs to you? What business is it of yours what other people's business is? Even the government has no right to interfere!"

As he spoke, Chu Junting glanced at Lord Tian, ​​who was rushing over from not far away, and said, "Lord Tian is truly a master at raising his daughter!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. My daughter has been unwell these past few days and her mind is confused. I will certainly discipline her properly!"

Lord Tian broke out in a cold sweat and glared fiercely at Tian Jiaojiao. This brat had caused him to lose face a few days ago, and today she had caused trouble again, even daring to provoke the Prince of Chu!

"Snapped!"

Lord Tian raised his hand and slapped Tian Jiaojiao across the face, causing her head to turn to the side and even loosening some of the pearl hairpins on her head, showing how hard he had hit her.

"You better behave yourself!"

Tian Jiaojiao covered her burning face, her eyes brimming with tears, but she didn't dare to utter a sound. She subconsciously looked at Tang Xuening, hoping that she could say a few words for her.

However, Tang Xuening quietly took a few steps back, hoping that no one would notice her.

Tian Jiaojiao unconsciously clenched her fists...

Seeing this, He Xiangning felt uneasy. "Shuangshuang, look how protective the Prince of Chu is of her. Will it be alright later?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The King of Chu is only unaware of her venomous heart. Once he knows, how could he still like her?"

Besides, I've already heard that Her Majesty the Empress looks down on Song Ruozhen. Once this matter is made public, I'm afraid he won't even be able to see Prince Chu again!

Qin Shuangshuang's eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. She had admired the King of Chu for so long, but she had never even had a chance to get close to him. But now Song Ruozhen was able to get the King of Chu to protect her like this. If she didn't seize the opportunity, wouldn't she always be one step ahead of her if she became the King of Chu's consort in the future?

Even if Zhiyue becomes a powerful minister in the future, he will still be no match for the prince!

Song Ruozhen watched coldly as Tian Jiaojiao was taught a lesson. She had brought this upon herself and deserved it.

"Wherever you wish to go later, I will accompany you." Chu Junting looked at the person before him, moved slightly closer, and asked in a low voice, "Are you satisfied now?"

Song Ruozhen knew that Chu Junting had deliberately asked Lord Tian to teach Tian Jiaojiao a lesson. Being slapped in front of everyone was extremely painful for Tian Jiaojiao.

She nodded; it was indeed quite agreeable.

She wanted to ask him if he had other plans, otherwise why would he have instructed the Prince of Yun, when she heard a loud gong, followed by the voice of a guard.

"The hunting competition begins!"
