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

Yangzhou was not far away, and with the story of the White Snake accompanying them, the group quickly arrived in Yangzhou.

As soon as she stepped off the ship and felt the warm air, Song Ruozhen chuckled and said, "Yangzhou is warmer than the capital."

"Yangzhou is closer to the south and is indeed warmer than the capital. Now is the most comfortable time to come."

Chu Junting's eyes were gentle. "Let's find a place to stay and rest today, and tomorrow we'll go to the most bustling part of the city."

The silk here is of excellent quality, and the styles are somewhat different from those in the capital. The jewelry is exquisite. Tomorrow I'll choose some pieces I like, and also pick out some gifts for my parents-in-law.

Song Ruozhen nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

Every place has its own unique characteristics, and besides, she definitely needs to bring back gifts for her parents, as well as for her good friends Nianchu and Mengqin.

Chu Muyao looked at her brother's considerate manner and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

I can hardly believe that I will see my elder brother like this one day. He is completely different from before!

at night.

Just as Song Ruozhen was thinking about staying at the inn tonight and exploring the area properly tomorrow, she saw Chu Junting extend his hand to her.

"The night is beautiful tonight. Shall I take you to the observatory to see the stars?"

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. Ever since she transmigrated into the book, she had discovered that the stars in ancient times were particularly bright, so she liked to observe the stars at night when she had nothing to do.

Is there an observatory here?

The woman held Chu Junting's hand, a look of surprise spreading across her face.

Chu Junting could tell from her expression that she really liked it, and said with a smile, "I specifically inquired about it. There is a stargazing platform on the back mountain not far from here, with excellent scenery."

"It's so late, isn't it too much trouble to climb a mountain?"

Song Ruozhen hesitated. She was indeed very interested in the stargazing platform on the mountaintop. The night was so beautiful tonight, and the view from the mountaintop must be stunning. However, she wondered if Jun Ting would be too tired after such a long journey.

Chu Junting looked at his wife's pretty face, which was full of anticipation and eagerness, while worrying about whether it would cause trouble. He chuckled and said, "I want to go with you."

"OK then!"

Song Ruozhen smiled and agreed, then happily prepared to leave the room.

However, Chu Junting stopped her, saying, "We won't go this way."

"Then which way do we go?"

Song Ruozhen was surprised, but then she saw Chu Junting lead her directly to the window and quietly look at her.

"Jump down?"

Song Ruozhen looked at her small frame. The second floor wasn't that high. She lifted the hem of her skirt and was thinking about how to jump when she heard a man chuckle.

The next moment, she was picked up by Chu Junting.

Her hands instinctively wrapped around Chu Junting's neck, and she heard his magnetic voice in her ear: "Let's go."

A gentle breeze brushed against her cheek, and Song Ruozhen landed steadily in her arms.

She glanced at the inn behind her, her eyes brimming with joy, and took Chu Junting's hand, saying, "Let's go!"

Chu Junting took that soft, boneless hand in his, and their fingers intertwined tightly. His handsome face was filled with a smile as he slowly walked forward.

The night breeze blew gently, and all around was quiet, but the warmth from her hands made Song Ruozhen feel extremely safe.

Taking a walk with someone you like is also a thing that makes you happy from the bottom of your heart.

Is it this mountain?

Song Ruozhen looked up and could vaguely see the shape of the observatory on the mountain, but its height was much higher than she had expected.

Chu Junting released Song Ruozhen's hand, patted his back, and said, "Come on, I'll carry you up the mountain."

"You carry me?"

Song Ruozhen was surprised. Looking at the man's broad back, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously turn up. She had never been carried by Jun Ting before!

"Then carry me on your back for a while, and I'll get down and walk by myself later, okay?"

Chu Junting remained noncommittal. He used to think that life was mundane and uneventful, but now he realized that there were still so many things in life he wanted to experience with Zhen'er.

As Song Ruozhen watched him squat down in front of her, she slowly stepped forward, placed her hands on his shoulders, and pressed her entire body against his back.

Chu Junting supported her knees with both hands and stood up.

His steps were steady, and although he didn't seem to be moving fast, his long legs made him quite fast.

"Am I heavy? Put me down when you're tired."

Song Ruozhen rested her head on the man's neck and looked at his profile. She had to admit that he was truly the most handsome person she had ever seen.

Looking at his profile, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first saw him on the day the engagement was called off. Who could have imagined that she would end up marrying him?

“You’re not even as heavy as the sandbags you carry when you practice martial arts. You should eat more.”

Chu Junting felt his wife's slender figure and spoke gently with affection. He had thought of this before when he held her, and now he knew it even more.

"I look better this way!"

Song Ruozhen chuckled. Before transmigrating into the book, she had seen many men who couldn't even lift the girls they liked, and even if they did, they couldn't hold them for long.

However, she noticed that Jun Ting's breathing was steady, without the slightest sign of haste, and his steps were firm and powerful, which made her curious:

"I've heard that Pingyang City has many mountains and forests. Did you also cross the mountains and forests at night when you were fighting in the past?"

Chu Junting nodded, "It's not just about traversing mountains and forests; it's also common to sleep under the open sky."

"You must have been very tired back then, right?"

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She had never seen Chu Junting fight, but she knew from some rumors that the hardship was the least of his worries. She didn't know how difficult those bloody days must have been.

The woman's breath was fragrant, and her warm breath brushed against his earlobe. Chu Junting's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he said, "Tired, but it's all worth it."

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, her head moving closer to Chu Junting's, as if it were another kind of embrace, but it made Chu Junting tense up.

"Fortunately, it only took two years, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to be together."

Fortunately, she transmigrated into the book at a good time, on her wedding day. If she had already been married, that would have been truly frustrating.

Chu Junting's heart tightened. Thinking about how he had died alone in his previous life and how Zhen'er had passed away, he couldn't help but feel grateful for God's arrangement.

In his second life, he got what he wanted most.

Bathed in the moonlight, Song Ruozhen looked at the surrounding scenery and shifted uncomfortably.

Chu Junting was already enduring his wife's unconscious stimulation, and the touch of her hands was soft and warm. Not to mention that in the dead of night, the sensation on his back was extremely acute.

But this mischievous little devil seemed completely oblivious, not only breathing into his ear but also constantly fidgeting.

"Don't move."

Chu Junting slapped the woman's pert little bottom, his voice slightly hoarse, trying to scare her:

"If you move around again, I can't guarantee what will happen."
