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

Song Ruozhen then understood why Meng Qin had come to tell her.

"You mean... Princess Muyun will cause me trouble later?"

Meng Qin nodded, "I think that's possible. Princess Muyun has always had a rather volatile temper, unlike the other ladies. You might as well stay by Prince Chu's side and not go to the back."

She's an elder, she wouldn't come all the way to find you. As long as you don't run into each other, everything will be fine.

However, after listening, Song Ruozhen suddenly said, "I'm afraid that's impossible."

Meng Qin was completely confused and hadn't yet realized what those words meant when she saw Jiang Qinglan walking over with a smile.

"Princess Consort of Chu, we meet again."

She walked over with a beaming smile, showing no sign of dissatisfaction with Song Ruozhen; on the contrary, she seemed very happy to see her again.

"What happened last time was all my fault. After being reprimanded by His Highness the Prince of Chu, I reflected on my actions and will never make the same mistake again."

My sister is very broad-minded; she shouldn't hold a grudge against me because of this, right?

Since her breakthrough, Song Ruozhen has found that her ability to judge people is more accurate than before. She doesn't need to calculate at all; she can tell just by looking.

Even though Jiang Qinglan looked completely harmless at the moment, one could clearly sense the dagger hidden behind her smile.

All eyes were on Song Ruozhen and the others. Everyone had heard about the incident where Song Ruozhen and Jiang Qinglan had a falling out and the King of Chu had slapped her twenty times.

Now that they've met again, one would expect enemies to be at each other's throats, but the scene is surprisingly peaceful, which is quite unexpected.

For a time, everyone's impression of Jiang Qinglan improved somewhat.

After all, admitting mistakes and correcting them, and not being petty, is the mark of a great person.

Song Ruozhen was all too familiar with such tactics, so she smiled faintly and said, "Of course not. I believe that after what happened before, my sister will no longer make assumptions about others."

The imperial court has had an Imperial Observatory since ancient times, and I am not some kind of sorceress, yet I do such deceitful things.

I'm happy as long as my sister doesn't misunderstand me.

Jiang Qinglan's smile vanished abruptly.

She never expected that Song Ruozhen would reveal the whole story in front of so many people!

It's been so long, and almost everyone only knows that she was beaten, but not why she was beaten. Now... everyone knows.

Looking at Song Ruozhen, who seemed perfectly normal and showed no sign of embarrassment, Meng Qin realized that her previous worries had been unfounded.

Given Ruozhen's unwillingness to suffer losses, it would be difficult for Princess Muyun to bully her.

"So the reason Jiang Qinglan was beaten back then was because she said something like that?"

"Who doesn't know how amazing Miss Song's metaphysical skills are? Even the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have praised them. Yet she said that she was just doing deceitful things. No wonder she was slapped."

Jiang Qinglan suppressed the urge to rush up and slap Song Ruozhen. Her fists clenched, she gritted her teeth and said:

"At the time, I was just being impulsive and talking nonsense. I knew my sister's abilities."

"Your Highness, the King of Chu must have owed much of your skill in apprehending corrupt officials in Yangzhou to my sister. I truly admire you!"

At this moment, Jiang Luxue also came over and said, "Sister, Aunt is still waiting for us over there. Let's go over quickly."

"Sister Princess Chu, you probably haven't met your elders yet, right? Why don't we go together to meet them?"

Jiang Qinglan gritted her teeth. She was the most favored daughter of the Jiang family and had lived a comfortable life after marrying her brother-in-law, never suffering any major losses.

Now that she has suffered two losses at Song Ruozhen's hands, how can she swallow this insult!

"No need, you all go first, I'll go with the prince later."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Was she trying to set a trap for her?

no way!

Chu Junting was standing with Yun Wang and the others, occasionally glancing at his wife. Seeing that she hadn't suffered any loss, he felt relieved.

"Brother, don't worry, I don't think sister-in-law is so easily bullied."

Chu Yungui followed his elder brother's gaze and couldn't help but laugh. He had never seen his elder brother like this before. He had really changed a lot since he had his sister-in-law!

Chu Junting withdrew his gaze and heard the discussion among the other princes.

"What do you think happened to the eldest prince today? Although she is a concubine, she is still a mistress. The eldest princess has come today. It is still a bit against the rules to bring a mistress along," the fifth prince sighed.

The Seventh Prince shook his head. "It can only be said that Jiang Qinglan is quite capable, able to win over the eldest prince so much."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Prince Yun said, "My eldest brother is indeed acting strangely today. If this news reaches Father's ears, he will definitely be unhappy."

“Jiang Qinglan came here secretly on her own. The eldest prince was unaware of it at first, but I don’t know what he was thinking, so he let her stay.”

Chu Junting had just read the whole story and knew that Prince Xiao had come in a carriage with his wife, while Jiang Qinglan had followed in another carriage and they had only bumped into each other at the door.

After exchanging a few words with Chu Tianche, Chu Yichuan walked over, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Third brother, sixth brother, I'm sorry to have made you laugh today. But Qinglan is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Not only are members of the Jiang family here today, but Princess Muyun is also here. It wouldn't hurt to let her go and meet them."

"Just because we're married doesn't mean I should constantly be inferior to her; that would be too hurtful to her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yungui and Chu Junting exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Chu Yichuan knew it was inappropriate, but he still decided to do it, which meant he had already made up his mind.

"I'm glad you're happy, Your Majesty. I'll go find my wife now."

Chu Junting left a message and turned to leave. He had helped Chu Yichuan at the hunting grounds because Chu Yichuan had saved him when he was a child, and he had always remembered that kindness.

In his previous life, he was suspected of deliberately plotting to harm Chu Tianche at the hunting grounds, which displeased his father, the emperor, and he later died in despair.

I had hoped that I could change his predicament and things would get better, but I never expected that he couldn't even do this most basic thing right now.

Not only did his concubine cause him to lose face and become a laughing stock, but now, after only a short time, he's parading around with her again. He's bound to suffer a terrible fate.

Compared to Chu Junting's disappointment, Chu Tianche was quite happy at this moment.

"Is this the surprise Qian'er gave me?"

Yesterday, Ling Qian'er said that she would give him a satisfactory gift on their wedding day. At the time, he didn't know what it was, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he immediately understood.

If we make a big fuss about this matter and cause trouble, Prince Xiao will definitely be blamed by his father, the Emperor!

Chu Junting is currently too powerful and difficult to deal with, but dealing with Prince Xiao first... is also a good solution!

"It seems we need to add fuel to the fire and make this matter escalate further..."

A smile flickered in Chu Tianche's eyes. Although today was his wedding day, how could it compare to overthrowing his eldest brother?
