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

Chapter 360 What are you thinking about me for?

Song House.

Song Ruozhen informed everyone last night that Prince Che would be coming today.

Everyone was quite surprised to learn of this situation, and Gu Ruyan had already instructed people to thoroughly clean the mansion early in the morning.

"His Highness Prince Che has arrived!"

"Welcome, Your Highness Prince Che."

The Song family members all bowed in greeting. Song Yanzhou and Song Yi'an also rushed back immediately after court and had changed into casual clothes to wait for His Highness Prince Che.

Chu Tianche walked slowly, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe. He was exceptionally noble, but his appearance was slightly inferior to Chu Junting's. He lacked some of the firmness and had more of a feminine look.

"Gentlemen, there is no need for such formality. I have come here today specifically to express my gratitude and repay the life-saving grace of that day."

Behind Chu Tianche, palace maids and eunuchs lined up, carrying gifts of gratitude.

"If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here today. I'm truly grateful."

“Your Highness, there is no need for such formalities. We are truly terrified. It is our great fortune to have the opportunity to save Your Highness.”

"As long as Your Highness is safe and sound, we can rest assured." Song Yanzhou spoke first.

Actually, they felt something was amiss after learning about this last night. Prince Che and the Song family had never had any dealings before. Even though they had saved Prince Che and the Emperor had already rewarded them, and Song Zhiyu had received an excellent job.

Now that Prince Che has suddenly decided to come to our door, we don't know why.

"I know you are all kind-hearted people, so there is no need to be so reserved. In fact, I have long admired General Song, but unfortunately I have not had many opportunities to get to know him."

Now that the three Song brothers are all serving the court, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I hope we can get along like friends and not be so distant.”

Chu Tianche's smile was gentle and approachable, and his attitude was sincere. Although the Song family members had some doubts in their hearts, they all nodded happily on the surface.

"Miss Song, this is my first time visiting the Song residence. Would you be so kind as to show me around?"

Chu Tianche looked at Song Ruozhen with a warm smile, "I have always been very curious about metaphysics, and I would like to ask Miss Song about it."

Seeing this, Gu Ruyan and the four Song brothers subconsciously looked at Song Ruozhen. Was she here for metaphysical arts?

Song Ruozhen unconsciously thought of Master Tianji, whose mastermind was after her metaphysical arts, but unfortunately, the mastermind behind it all still doesn't know who it is.

Chu Tianche was no pushover; he could even harm his own brother. Who knows if it might be him?

"Okay," Song Ruozhen replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianche's lips curved upwards again. He took the initiative to walk to Song Ruozhen's side and said, "It's all my fault for being ignorant. I didn't know that there was such a beautiful woman as Miss Song in the capital, let alone that such a beauty could have such powerful skills."

Hearing the praise, Song Ruozhen felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Your Highness, you flatter me. May I help you find someone, consult a feng shui master, or have your birth date and time calculated?"

She slightly distanced herself, feeling that facing this insincere and evasive Prince Che was far less pleasant than facing the cold and aloof Prince Chu.

"I wonder if Miss Song has ever calculated your and the King of Chu's birth dates?" Chu Tianche teased.

Song Ruozhen narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said calmly, "People of the Xuanmen do not count themselves."

“I see, no wonder.” Chu Tianche suddenly realized, “If Miss Song could have figured it out, she would have discovered that you and the King of Chu are not a good match.”

Song Ruozhen: "..." This guy really has no sense of boundaries!

Noticing Song Ruozhen's emotions, Chu Tianche explained, "Don't be angry. The reason I said these things was not to deliberately provoke, but because the facts are right in front of us."

"You should have already seen the Queen's attitude during the hunting competition. As long as you have the stain of annulment, she will not agree to your marriage to the King of Chu."

"I just feel that you are good in every way, but you have to suffer grievances in every way just to marry the King of Chu. Isn't that a pity?"

If I could really become the Princess Consort of Chu, that would be fine. But if I didn't, I would have wasted the best years of my life, which would truly be a loss...

Seeing Chu Tianche pestering Song Ruozhen, Song Jingshen, who was not far away, quickly asked Song Yanzhou, "Do you have any questions for Prince Che?"

Song Yanzhou: "?"

Song Yi'an noticed this as well, and immediately pulled Song Yanzhou forward, saying, "Let's stall Prince Che first."

Song Yanzhou understood immediately. "Your Highness Prince Che, I've heard that you have a fondness for inkstones. I've just acquired a fine Duan inkstone. What do you think of it?"

Chu Tianche wanted to talk to Song Ruozhen a little more, as he believed she was a smart person.

The status of the Princess of Chu was far too high for her to aspire to, but marrying him as a concubine was much easier.

Rather than betting everything on an unattainable status, she might as well choose to marry him. He wouldn't mistreat the Song family, and he certainly wouldn't mistreat her.

Before she could even speak, Song Yanzhou and Song Yi'an called her away, and she couldn't refuse.

"Miss Song, why don't you come and take a look too?" Chu Tianche said with a smile.

"Okay," Song Ruozhen agreed and followed behind.

"Fifth Sister, didn't your Prince Chu say he was coming today? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Song Jingshen lowered his voice, winked at Song Ruozhen, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Maybe something came up and delayed him."

Song Ruozhen gave him a helpless look. Recalling her conversation with Chu Junting in the carriage last night, it wasn't hard to guess why he was late today.

"Fifth sister, with my extensive experience in judging people, I'm pretty sure this Prince Che is after you. Do you believe me?"

Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow. Ever since Chu Tianche entered the manor, he had been observing him. This guy's gaze had been secretly sweeping over Fifth Sister more than once.

The Song family itself didn't have anything to gain. Prince Che had never met the fifth sister before; perhaps he only had the idea after seeing her at the hunting competition.

After all, he had heard that Prince Che's mansion had many beautiful concubines, and that the Princess Che's daily routine of dealing with these concubines was a great spectacle in the neighborhood.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a look of disbelief flashing across them. "So crazy?"

Chu Tianche's words just now were indeed meant to prevent her from being with Chu Junting. However, there are many schemes among princes, and Chu Tianche would do something like framing his own brother in order to make a good impression on the emperor.

It's not surprising that he would sabotage her relationship with Chu Junting, but if he wanted to marry her, that would be a huge joke!

"Impossible. I'm nothing special, why would he be thinking about me for no reason?"

Song Ruozhen smiled self-deprecatingly. The Empress was always finding ways to criticize her, and Prince Che was also a prince.
