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

In the warm spring, when flowers were in bloom, Prince Che and Ling Qian'er got married.

When a prince gets married, the ceremony is naturally grand. Even though this is the second princess that Prince Che has married, everyone praises Ling Qian'er's good luck.

Song Ruozhen accompanied Chu Junting to the Prince Che's mansion to offer her congratulations. She saw red silk hanging everywhere and guests arriving in droves, making it a lively scene.

Dressed in a wedding gown, Prince Che greeted the guests with a beaming smile, and his smile grew even brighter as he listened to the congratulations.

"Third brother, sister-in-law, you've arrived."

"Congratulations, Second Imperial Brother." Chu Junting handed over the congratulatory gift in his hand.

Chu Tianche smiled and accepted it, praising, "Third brother, you not only enjoyed sightseeing in Yangzhou this time, but you also solved a major case. Just hearing about it makes me excited."

After the wedding, I and your sister-in-law will also take leave to travel, but we won't be as lucky as you!

"It was an accidental discovery; no one wants such a corrupt official to appear in the court."

Listening to the conversation between the two brothers, Song Ruozhen noticed that even though Chu Tianche appeared calm, it wasn't hard to see his jealousy towards Chu Junting's meritorious service.

His haste in marrying Ling Qian'er may well have been due to this reason.

After the two entered the mansion, Song Ruozhen lowered her voice and asked, "Your Highness, Prince Che is getting married today. Has Consort Zhong lifted her confinement order?"

"No," Chu Junting replied.

Song Ruozhen understood. Even with such a joyous occasion as Prince Che's marriage, Consort Zhong's confinement order had not been lifted, which showed that the previous incident had had a profound impact, and the Emperor was still not appeased.

It is said that after Consort Duan was disfigured, she saw many doctors and the imperial physicians tried every method, but her condition did not improve.

Everyone in the palace understood that Consort Duan would never again receive the Emperor's favor.

"Look, isn't that the Princess Consort of Chu?"

"The Princess Consort of Chu is a blessed person. Although she had experienced some bad things before, she not only married the King of Chu, but the King of Chu also treated her very well."

After we got married, when have our husbands ever taken time off to take us out for fun? I'm so envious.

Some of the ladies present smiled and sighed, saying that Song Ruozhen had gone from being ridiculed by everyone for breaking off her engagement to being envied by everyone, which was truly a remarkable turn of events.

Whether it's a marriage proposal at the lantern festival or taking a special leave to travel after getting married, these are things that no one has ever done before, and who wouldn't be envious if they saw it?

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Meng Qin walked up to Song Ruozhen with a smile, "I heard you had a really fun time in Yangzhou. Don't say they're envious, I'm envious too!"

"Why would you envy me? You've been to the most places among us."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Meng Qin came from a family of military generals, and her mother often liked to travel, so Meng Qin had been to many places over the years.

"Ruozhen, let me tell you, Princess Muyun is here today. Her family is the Jiang family, and she is Princess Xiao's aunt Qin."

I just overheard them talking about your past grievances with the Jiang sisters, and I have a feeling they might cause you trouble today.

Meng Qin looked serious. She should have been with her mother. Ruozhen was now the Princess Consort of Chu, and the ladies around the table were all from various families.

However, she heard some comments, which is why she made a special trip to say hello.

"Princess Muyun?" Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. "I have never met her before."

Meng Qin was not surprised and was about to speak when she was interrupted by a voice from the side.

"Look, His Highness Prince Xiao has come too, but why is it that not only Princess Xiao is here, but even the concubine is here?"

"After that incident at the Xiao Prince's residence a while ago, I thought Jiang Qinglan wouldn't be going out for a while. I didn't expect her to show up at an event like today?"

"If you've got the guts to climb into your brother-in-law's bed, why do you care about saving face?"

Many of the ladies present couldn't help but chuckle when they talked about it. Everyone felt disgusted that a noblewoman from a prominent family would do something so shameful.

Why not just get married properly? Instead, she's eager to share a husband with her sister, and even sneaks up on him without her knowledge. Anyone would find that shameful.

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly, her expression remaining impassive.

Since the incident that day, Prince Xiao has taken Jiang Qinglan into his palace as a concubine, but he did not publicize it or treat it as a happy event.

Therefore, everyone only discussed it briefly and then stopped talking about it. Unexpectedly, the two of them came to attend Prince Che's wedding banquet together today, making it impossible for them not to be noticed.

On the other side, King Che and the others also noticed this and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Elder brother, what's going on?" Prince Che asked in surprise.

Prince Xiao looked at Jiang Qinglan beside him, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but his voice was gentle: "Qinglan, today's occasion is not appropriate, you should go back quickly."

“Your Highness, I’ve always been able to come to occasions like this. You said you wouldn’t make me feel wronged. Besides, my parents are here today too. Why can only my sister come, but I can’t?”

Jiang Qinglan pouted, her little face looking very aggrieved. "I'm already here, so please let me in. I promise I'll stay put, okay?"

Seeing this, King Xiao looked at Jiang Luxue beside him and said, "Luxue, what do you think?"

Jiang Luxue sneered inwardly, but her face remained gentle and refined. "If Your Highness deems it suitable, then so be it."

"My sister definitely won't mind. We're sisters, and we're the closest of friends."

Jiang Qinglan stepped forward and took Jiang Luxue's hand, her face beaming with joy, revealing the deep bond between the sisters.

Seeing this scene, Meng Qin couldn't help but be surprised. "I had heard before that the Jiang sisters had a good relationship, and Jiang Qinglan was the most favored in the mansion. Now I can see for myself that the relationship between the two of them is really good."

"If it were me, even with the best of sisterly love, I couldn't accept two sisters sharing a husband."

“No normal person would want to accept that,” Song Ruozhen said.

Meng Qin was slightly taken aback. "You mean... you were faking it?"

"I don't know anything about the Jiang sisters' situation. Anyway, this is a matter for the Xiao Prince's Mansion, and it has nothing to do with us. We don't need to care."

Song Ruozhen picked up a piece of fruit from the side and took a bite. She was indifferent to other people's family affairs, but judging from Xiao Wang's attitude, she knew that Jiang Qinglan was indeed quite capable.

Her methods of marrying Prince Xiao were so dishonorable that they caused him to lose face as well. Logically speaking, her life in the Prince's mansion shouldn't be too easy.

But today, she seems to be living a very successful life in the Xiao Prince's mansion. Her face, flushed with rouge, looks fresh and clear, without a trace of sorrow. On the contrary, Jiang Luxue's face shows some signs of fatigue.

"Ruozhen, just because you don't want to get involved in their affairs doesn't mean they don't want to get involved in yours."

Meng Qin lowered her voice, "The reason I mentioned Princess Muyun earlier is because they are the aunts of the Jiang sisters."

I'd heard her say before that you're prone to throwing tantrums, and that you act recklessly because the King of Chu treats you well. You even dared to lecture the Jiang sisters in public, and the King of Chu is completely infatuated with you, not even respecting his sister-in-law.
