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

When Song Ruozhen learned that she had been summoned to the palace, she knew that everything was just as Chu Junting had said, and that the Empress really did want to see her.

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the Song family couldn't help but worry about her.

"Zhen'er, the Empress made things difficult for you when you entered the palace last time. Will summoning you again this time..."

Gu Ruyan's eyes were full of worry. If it weren't for Ruozhen's intelligence and the Empress Dowager's intervention last time, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for her to leave the palace smoothly. If this is another trap, she won't always be so lucky.

"Zhen'er, don't be afraid. At worst, your father will accompany you to the palace. Even if she is the empress and bullies you for no reason, I will still file a complaint with the emperor."

Song Lin had a cold face. Since returning, his wife had told him everything that had happened in the capital.

He was truly amazed that so much had happened in just over a year!

"I think we should tell the Prince the news as soon as possible. With the Prince by our side, he should be fine," Song Yanzhou said, frowning.

Song Zhiyu was somewhat displeased. "If you ask me, the Empress is not very capable. If she is dissatisfied, she can just talk to the Prince of Chu and make things clear. We all know that it's not like Fifth Sister is the one who insists on bothering him!"

The Song family members kept their eyes down and their minds at ease; wasn't that what they all thought?

It's fine to say these things in front of family members, but you can't say them in front of others, that would be extremely disrespectful!

Seeing the family's tense expressions, Song Ruozhen quickly said, "Things aren't what you think. The Prince said he has already spoken to the Empress, and her attitude has changed. You don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked puzzled. Was there really such a good thing?

"Zhen'er, tell your mother the truth. We know the Empress's temperament to some extent, but I'm afraid things won't be that easy."

The more information we have, the better we can think of a solution if something really goes wrong.

Liu Ruyan held Song Ruozhen's hand, her eyes full of concern, "Please don't say these things just to avoid bothering us. To us, you are the most important person."

Song Ruozhen felt a warmth in her heart; it was truly wonderful to feel this care from her whole family.

"Did that brat really go to the Empress to explain the situation, just like he said before?"

Song Lin remembered the promise Chu Junting had made back in Pingyang City. After all, he had been back for a while, and he was thinking that if the matter could not be decided soon, he would find another marriage for his daughter.

After all, Ruozhen is not young anymore, and she can't keep delaying it.

Hearing her father call Chu Junting a brat, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle. "It should be, but we'll only know the specifics after we enter the palace."

No matter what, I will not let anything happen to myself, so you don't need to worry about me.

"Zhen'er is also a person of her own mind. Even if Her Majesty the Empress is not satisfied, nothing serious will happen. Don't worry." Song Lin waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop talking.

Only after Song Ruozhen walked out the door did Gu Ruyan ask, "Are you really at ease?"

Song Lin watched Song Ruozhen's departing figure with a calm expression. Seeing that she had really left, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a carriage, "Hurry up, I need to go to the palace!"

Gu Ruyan shook her head with amusement. As expected, Song Lin was still the same as she knew him.

Inside the palace.

"Mother, your cough seems to be much better?"

The Empress looked at her mother in surprise. She had noticed that her mother's cough hadn't improved, and since her mother was coming to the palace today, she had the imperial physician come to check her pulse.

Upon seeing her today, she was surprised to find that Madam Lu's complexion had improved significantly, and her overall condition was much better than usual.

Madam Lu smiled and nodded, "Didn't I say that when I came back this time, I was saved from falling by a young lady?"

That girl was not only beautiful, but also kind and skilled in medicine.

My medicine spilled on the ground, and the girl knew I had a cough just by looking at it. She even told me to change the medicine if it didn't work.

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but I've been coughing non-stop at home for the past two days. The doctor keeps saying the same things, and my condition isn't improving. So I thought I'd try what that girl said."

Surprisingly, this trial actually worked!

When Madam Lu thought of the girl she met that day, she couldn't help but sigh, "She was such a good girl. I originally thought of introducing her to Jun Ting, but Jun Ting already has someone he loves, so I let it go."

She immediately sent someone to investigate the girl's background, hoping to introduce her to Jun Ting as soon as possible. However, after learning that there was no hope, she told them not to bother her for the time being.

The more I think about it, the more regrettable it seems.

"That girl's medical skills are so superb?"

The Empress was surprised. She had never heard of any girl in the capital who was skilled in medicine. Young ladies usually studied music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Women practicing medicine was easily criticized.

Logically speaking, such a person should come from an ordinary background, but the mother said that the other party had an outstanding temperament and was definitely not from an ordinary background.

As far as she knows, the only young lady from a prominent family in the capital who also knows medicine is Song Ruozhen.

However, apart from treating her own family members, Song Ruozhen did not treat anyone else. The concubine of Prince Che had been there before, but she was demoted from princess to concubine after just one visit.

Now, needless to say, he's currently in jail...

Madam Lu nodded, "I liked that girl the moment I saw her. I think I should find out whose daughter she is."

Kitagawa's eyes were practically glued to her the moment he saw her. If Kitagawa could marry her, that would be wonderful.

Seeing how much Madam Lu liked her, the Empress smiled and said, "It seems you really like this girl. Then let Beichuan marry her. Not only will they be in love, but she can also take care of your health."

Madam Lu smiled faintly, "That young man Beichuan does like her, but it depends on whether the girl is willing."

"I'll meet Jun Ting's sweetheart later. All these years, I've never seen him show interest in any girl. Now he finally has someone he likes. I'm really curious, is she pretty?"

The Empress nodded, thinking of Song Ruozhen's bright and beautiful face.

Putting everything else aside, when she first met Song Ruozhen, she couldn't help but be amazed; the girl was indeed beautiful.

Madam Lu's smile deepened. "Then what else are you dissatisfied with? When the young lady arrives later, don't keep that cold face."

If she marries someone else, given Jun Ting's personality, it's hard to say when he'll ever get married.

The Empress fell silent, and thinking about Chu Junting's temperament, she couldn't help but sigh.

Both Jun Ting and Yun Gui are good-looking and talented, yet they are still unmarried!
