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

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting in the crowd. He seemed to be born to be the protagonist, with an outstanding temperament and elegant demeanor that made him hard to ignore.

Compared to his usual aloofness, he now exudes a more spirited and youthful vigor.

As he won first place and turned to look at her with a smile, her heart was touched and began to beat faster.

"Your Highness, this is the token that you won first place in the game of pitch-pot."

The man respectfully handed over a string of red pendants.

Chu Junting accepted the pendant and walked confidently to Song Ruozhen. His noble and handsome face softened with a unique gentleness when he faced her.

"I've got it all. I'll go win even more back."

Song Ruozhen looked at the red pendant in her hand. Although it was just a token of winning the competition, it was very exquisite. The intricate red heart knot with coins hanging from it made it quite beautiful as a pendant.

Most importantly... the man's matter-of-fact tone was just like a husband who, after working away from home, would hand over all the money he earned to his wife to manage.

The girls around them looked on with envy. Who would have thought that the once aloof and cold-hearted Prince Chu would one day be so gentle to a girl?

“Miss Song is truly blessed. I don’t know how she caught the eye of the King of Chu. He treats her so well in public, but I’m afraid he dotes on her to the bone when we’re not watching.”

Hearing the whispers around her, Tian Jiaojiao said coldly, "Maybe it's only good outside, but who knows what kind of life they lead in the mansion?"

The envious girl was startled by the sudden rebuke. The man beside her glanced at Tian Jiaojiao and said unhappily:

"I think you're just jealous! King Chu is never one to put on airs. Besides, whether he's genuinely good to a girl or not, just look at what kind of dress Miss Song is wearing—it's made of tribute material!"

I heard that only the Empress and a few imperial concubines possess this fabric. If Miss Song weren't so dearly loved by the Prince of Chu, how could she possibly be allowed to wear it?

Tian Jiaojiao's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Tang Xuening, asking her if the material was really extraordinary.

Tang Xuening quickly looked at the dress Song Ruozhen was wearing. When she first saw it, she felt that the dress was extraordinary and extremely beautiful.

However, the Song family was already wealthy, so it was not surprising that she could wear any precious clothes. But she never expected that this was a material that only the Empress could afford.

If Song Ruozhen can wear it, doesn't that mean the Empress has accepted her?

The Empress clearly didn't like her before, so why is she suddenly willing to accept her?

Tang Xuening clenched her fists, deeply regretting that she had followed Song Ruozhen to learn how to distribute porridge. It was clearly a good thing, but she never expected to end up with a bad reputation.

The entire capital city said she was all talk and no action. As the daughter of the Prime Minister, she couldn't even do this small thing right, and had lost all hope of being with the Prince of Chu.

Nowadays, not only princes, but even people from other parts of the capital have stopped coming to propose marriage. Her mother sighs all day long, and her father has also been affected by this incident, no longer showing her the same affection as before.

"Xue Ning, does this mean that the King of Chu really intends to marry Song Ruozhen?"

Tian Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat; she absolutely did not want such a thing to happen.

"Impossible! My brother said that if a man really likes a girl, he will definitely try his best to marry her as soon as possible."

"But so much time has passed, have you heard any news of an engagement between the two?" Tang Xuening retorted.

Tian Jiaojiao was relieved. "That's good. A dress is nothing. Song Jingshen gave Ke Yuanzhi all sorts of nice things back then, but look at him now, he just said he didn't want them anymore."

Tang Xuening chuckled; they had naturally heard about Ke Yuanzhi's current situation as well.

"Are you talking about me?"

Ke Yuanzhi and Song Biyun stood together. With such a lively scene today, the two of them naturally wouldn't miss it. In addition, the King of Chu's pitch-pot game had attracted countless people, so the two of them also came to watch the excitement.

Before she could even see what was happening in front of her, she heard the two of them gossiping about her, and Ke Yuanzhi's face turned extremely ugly.

Tang Xuening and Tian Jiaojiao didn't expect to run into the person in question while they were talking badly about him. A hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces, but they quickly returned to normal.

Ke Yuanzhi's background is nothing compared to theirs!

"What's wrong with me? Isn't it the truth?" Tian Jiaojiao said sarcastically. "I heard that your engagement with the Qu family was canceled. The Qu family said they wouldn't dare to marry a spendthrift like you. I'm afraid that in the whole capital, apart from the Song family, you can't find another family that lets you squander money like this, right?"

Ke Yuanzhi's face turned ashen. "Stop talking nonsense! It's true that I broke off the engagement with the Qu family, but that's Qu Kuo's problem, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Do you think we're all fools? Everyone knows what's really going on, so stop pretending!"

Tian Jiaojiao was already in a bad mood, and when she saw that Ke Yuanzhi still dared to question her, she became even more impolite.

"You're talking nonsense!" Ke Yuanzhi was furious. Ever since she had tried to find Song Jingshen several times without success, more and more people around her had been mocking her.

She used to live such a glamorous life, and countless people envied her. So when she fell on hard times, everyone wanted to make fun of her. It was really despicable!

"What right do you have to laugh at me? You're no better yourself. Miss Tang, Tian Jiaojiao conspired with you to frame Song Ruozhen before, and then betrayed you after the incident. And now you're still hanging out with her. You really have a big heart!"

Ke Yuanzhi naturally remembered the jokes that Tian Jiaojiao and the other two had made before. Those two weren't exactly innocent themselves, so why were they mocking her?

As expected, Tang Xuening and Tian Jiaojiao's expressions turned ugly.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Tang Xuening initially didn't want to pay attention to Tian Jiaojiao, but after she repeatedly came to her and apologized, she finally decided to forgive her.

Stop trying to sow discord!

Ke Yuanzhi sneered, "It's true that everyone has been laughing at me lately, but what you don't know is that Jing Shen doesn't dislike me at all; he just has amnesia and has forgotten me."

Once he regains his memory, he will naturally remember me.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuening and Tian Jiaojiao were somewhat surprised, as they had not heard of this matter before.

So... as long as Song Jingshen regains his memory, Ke Yuanzhi will still be his most beloved girl?

Song Biyun was troubled by Shen Huai'an's matter. She did not expect that Chu Muyao would give up so easily, and Huai'an blamed all the faults on her.

I heard that Huai'an's situation in the Shen family is not good now, and she has begun to regret that she should have been more restrained before.

Who would have thought that Chu Muyao would give up so easily?
