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

Chapter 522 Nervous

The Song brothers, including Song Yanzhou, had already been welcomed as honored guests. Prince Yun called out to his good brothers, saying, "My royal brother has instructed that you must take good care of your four brothers-in-law today, no matter what!"

"King Yun, rest assured, leave it to us. We'll make sure they drink until they drop!"

Looking at the various heavy drinkers in front of them, Song Yanzhou and the others waved their hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, just drink to your heart's content."

"I'll definitely make sure you have a great time today!"

Song Jingshen could tell at a glance that these guys definitely wanted to get them drunk today, so he looked at Song Zhiyu and said, "Third Brother, we're counting on you now!"

"Fourth brother, aren't you quite a drinker too?" Song Zhiyu glanced at him. He knew very well how much Song Jingshen could drink. Don't be fooled by his usual inconspicuousness; what businessman can't drink?

Of the four of them, he seemed to be the biggest drinker, but Song Jingshen was the real heavy drinker.

Song Jingshen chuckled, "Judging from their posture, they're here to take you down."

After bowing to heaven and earth, Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting were ushered into the house like stars surrounding the moon. The festive decorations inside were completely different from Chu Junting's cold and aloof house before.

The people who came to pay their respects were palace maids. Not only did the Empress send someone, but the Empress Dowager also sent a maid.

After Chu Junting went to the front hall to entertain the guests, Song Ruozhen finally breathed a sigh of relief after the door was closed.

"Sure enough, the wedding day was incredibly busy."

She put down the fan in her hand, turned her head, and sighed, "This headdress I'm wearing today is really too heavy."

Chenxiang chuckled to herself, “Miss, what you’re wearing today was all bestowed by the Emperor. I just heard everyone praising how beautiful it is, but it is indeed quite heavy.”

“Now that we’ve already paid our respects to Heaven and Earth, we should start calling her Princess Consort,” Bai Zhi said happily.

Qing Teng then brought over some snacks. "Your Highness, you got up early this morning but haven't eaten much yet. Have some snacks to tide you over."

"Qing Teng is so thoughtful." Song Ruozhen smiled slightly.

I was woken up early today and preparations were in full swing. Even so, the people in the mansion were still in a state of chaos. Fortunately, the marriage has finally been arranged.

"His Highness is out entertaining guests and will be back later. Before he left, he specifically instructed me not to let the Princess go hungry."

The small kitchen has prepared special food for the young lady; please feel free to order anything you'd like. They are not responsible for the catering outside today.

Qing Teng smiled broadly, genuinely happy to see how kind the prince was to the princess.

Chu Junting didn't return until it was getting dark.

"Squeak—"

As the door was pushed open, Chenxiang and the others inside quickly retreated, quietly closing the door behind them before leaving.

Holding a round fan, Song Ruozhen watched the flickering candlelight, and every step the man took seemed to touch her heart.

Until that person stopped in front of her, slowly took her hand, and pulled down the fan that was covering her face.

The man's handsome, fair face flushed slightly, and his dark, deep eyes gazed quietly at the woman before him, overflowing with affection.

"Zhen'er, you look beautiful today."

Chu Junting's lips curled up. He was stunned by the beauty of the person in front of him at first sight. In her wedding dress, she was truly stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous.

Song Ruozhen's cheeks flushed slightly, a little shy. Noticing the smell of alcohol on the man, she asked, "Have you had too much to drink?"

"No." Chu Junting chuckled. "I had already guessed that someone would force me to drink today, so I specially arranged for a few good drinkers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have walked in, but would have been carried in."

Song Ruozhen looked surprised. "I thought that with your personality, no one would dare to force you to drink today."

"Those ministers and their families would naturally not, but the soldiers in the army have been with me at the border for several years and we are already familiar with each other. The soldiers who follow my father-in-law are also giving it their all today."

Luckily I came back early, and they can't find me now.

Speaking of that group of drunkards outside, Chu Junting shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle, "I rarely see this side of you. It seems you get along very well with the soldiers."

In other people's minds, Chu Junting was always a high and mighty figure, cold and ruthless, and difficult to get along with. However, when he talked about the soldiers in the army, the feeling was completely different.

This scene gives us a glimpse into what he was like in the military.

A group of brave men guarding the border, drinking and eating heartily—perhaps he felt more at ease in this setting.

"Over the years, I've been stationed at the border, surrounded by brothers who have faced life and death together. Many interesting things have happened along the way," Chu Junting said with a faint smile. "If you'd like to hear them, I can tell you about them slowly later."

“Okay.” Song Ruozhen nodded.

Chu Junting took the nuptial wine from the table next to him and handed it to Song Ruozhen, saying, "Let's take care of business first."

The room was quiet, with occasional bursts of lively noise coming from outside. As Song Ruozhen looked at the nuptial wine in her hand and the man in front of her, the feeling of unreality finally disappeared.

She really did get married.

"After drinking the nuptial wine, we will be husband and wife as one."

Chu Junting's brows were filled with tenderness; the woman he had longed for had finally been married!

After the two drank the nuptial wine, the wine cups were placed back on the table, but the silence in the room made Song Ruozhen feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Her senses seemed to be amplified unconsciously, and she sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed, unsure of what to do.

Chu Junting also noticed Song Ruozhen's nervousness. Normally she was always poised and confident, and nothing could frighten her, but her shyness and unease at this moment seemed especially adorable to him.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here."

Song Ruozhen turned to look at the person beside her and couldn't help but say, "It's because it's you that I'm so nervous."

Chu Junting chuckled softly, his gentle, magnetic voice carrying a hint of coaxing, "From now on, no matter what, I'll always be by your side. This crown is too heavy, shall we take it off?"

Song Ruozhen nodded. She couldn't stand such a heavy headdress either. Although it looked beautiful, it was incredibly heavy!

She didn't feel much better until she took it off.

"I had the kitchen prepare some food for you. Have you eaten? Are you alright?" Chu Junting asked with concern.

"No, I already ate there. They made all my favorite dishes."

Thinking about the food that had just been delivered from the small kitchen, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but be surprised, as it was all to her liking. After Bai Zhi and Qing Teng explained, she realized that it was all arranged by Chu Junting.

He worried that she might not adapt well after arriving at the Prince's residence, so he prepared everything in great detail.
