Chapter 785 It really became a couple
Prince Chu's Mansion.
After learning that her fourth brother had sent a message to Miss Chu, Song Ruozhen arranged to go to the temple fair that evening.
She calculated the time and returned to the Chu Prince's residence first. After all, she had traveled a long way back, so she washed up and changed into clean clothes, waiting for Chu Junting to return.
"Your Highness, the Prince has returned, and he brought many gifts from the palace. You should go and see them!" Chenxiang excitedly ran over and said.
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, and it wasn't hard to guess that it must be a reward from the Emperor.
The gifts bestowed upon the palace are all the finest items; those tributes cannot be bought outside, no matter how much money one spends.
As soon as Chu Junting stepped into the courtyard, he saw his wife walking out happily. Her bright face was even more radiant with a smile.
"Let's go take a look."
Chu Junting reached out and took her hand, leading her outside.
Upon seeing the imperial gifts, Song Ruozhen's face lit up with a smile. "These are all rare treasures! This set of jewelry is truly beautiful!"
"This set of jewelry was specially chosen for you by the Empress Dowager, who said you would like it," Chu Junting said with a smile.
Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. "The Empress Dowager actually chose this for me?"
Chu Junting nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "The Empress Dowager said that the head eunuch who serves the Emperor has poor taste, and the ones he picks out from the storeroom are definitely not what you like, so she personally went to pick out some that young girls like."
"Mother is so wonderful!" Song Ruozhen said happily.
After Song Ruozhen had examined all the gifts, she had the ones she liked brought directly into the house, while those she didn't need for the time being were sent to the storeroom.
"When I returned just now, I passed by the Prime Minister's residence and noticed that the Prince of Liang's carriage was parked outside the gate. He must have been taking Master Xuanyang with him."
Chu Junting thought about what he saw when he returned, and the outcome wasn't hard to guess.
Song Ruozhen smiled and said, "Does he think that by asking Master Xuanyang to intervene, they can be completely cured?"
"Madam, do you mean... there's a backup plan?"
Song Ruozhen blinked. "I can't just let them keep bothering me. I used to be too lazy to argue with them, but they've taken advantage of me."
The effect of this ability to see ghosts only lasts for three days, but it will reappear in a few days, although the duration will be short.
Because they only appear for a short time, they might think they're seeing things, but if they see these strange things from time to time, then it goes without saying.
"But didn't you say before that the entire Liang Prince's Mansion was covered by a formation, so how could any wandering ghosts get close?" Chu Junting said.
"Don't be fooled by Master Xuanyang's apparent skill; from what I know, he doesn't have the ability to see ghosts."
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow and smiled, her delicate eyes radiating confidence. "Because he wasn't born with the ability to see ghosts, he can only sense aggressive and vengeful spirits. He can't sense ordinary, harmless wandering ghosts."
Last time I was at the Liang Prince's Mansion, I discovered a formation that not only absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the vicinity through the spirit-gathering formation, but also prevented any ghosts from approaching the Liang Prince's Mansion.
So I used a little trick to sabotage it a bit, but it wasn't easy to be discovered.
Chu Junting reached out and gently stroked Song Ruozhen's nose. "You really are a little fox."
Song Ruozhen tilted her head, her little expression full of smugness, but after she did some calculations, her expression turned strange.
"Your Highness, things are taking an unexpected turn."
Chu Junting's eyes darkened. "What's wrong?"
"After today, Tang Xuening and Qi Qingyi will become good sisters who share one husband."
Upon hearing this, not only Chu Junting, but also Yun Yang and Bai Zhi, who were standing nearby, were stunned, wondering if they had misheard.
"Your Highness, do you mean... Tang Xuening is going to marry His Highness Prince Liang?" Chenxiang asked in astonishment.
Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "I really hadn't thought about this before, but now that I think about it carefully, Prince Liang took his princess on this trip and also specially brought Tang Xuening with him."
To others, it wouldn't be surprising at all that his relationship with Tang Xuening was unusual.
"This is not only unusual, but you might also think that Princess Liang is magnanimous. Knowing that Prince Liang is interested in Tang Xuening, she still has such a good relationship with her and specially brought her along to create opportunities for them?"
Bai Zhi clicked her tongue in disbelief, feeling that this matter was truly bizarre. Could Qi Qingyi really be that magnanimous?
Chu Junting knew very well that things were not originally like this. If the Prince of Liang really had feelings for Tang Xuening, he would not have tried to match her with the Prince of Xiao.
Now that things have turned out this way, and recalling seeing Prince Liang go to the palace earlier, I have my own guesses.
"Tang Xuening dares to plot against Prince Liang?" Chu Junting frowned.
Song Ruozhen shrugged. "Although it was indeed her idea that started this, the fact that this outcome could be attributed to the Liang King going along with the flow."
The two exchanged a glance, a sense of understanding dawning on them.
The Prince of Liang is clearly unable to restrain himself now, and they can all sense that something is amiss with the trouble he has caused. The Emperor is so wise that he must have also noticed something amiss.
The Prince of Liang will surely find a way to resolve this matter. It just so happens that the Prime Minister's residence has encountered such a problem. As long as he marries Tang Xuening, he will surely win the Prime Minister's family's unwavering loyalty.
After all, it was a serious crime for the daughter of a subject to scheme against a prince, and the prime minister was certainly not immune to blame in this matter.
By choosing to swallow his anger at this juncture, King Liang essentially gave them a break and relieved Tang Xuening's immediate crisis of being unable to marry due to her ruined reputation.
With such a son-in-law, the prime minister could no longer refuse to take sides as he had before.
“Since the Prince of Liang can no longer restrain himself, there must be a lot he has to do next. We should be prepared,” Song Ruozhen reminded him.
Chu Junting smiled faintly, his brows radiating confidence. "You don't have confidence in me?"
"Of course I have confidence in you. In my heart, you are the best!"
Song Ruozhen blinked. In the original book, Chu Junting did not lose to the Prince of Liang, but he was not interested in the throne.
Now that I've been given a second chance at life, it's even less likely that I'll lose.
"By the way, I'm going to the temple fair tonight, it looks like it's going to be really exciting."
Song Ruozhen doesn't care at all who Tang Xuening marries, and Qi Qingyi isn't a magnanimous person either. If these two get together, they're likely to fight amongst themselves.
Compared to them, she was more curious about this Miss Chu.
Although Fourth Brother and Mu Yao haven't officially settled down yet, in her eyes it's a done deal!
My third brother has never been able to understand love all these years. Now that he has finally found someone he likes, it would be wonderful if they could truly understand each other!
Her third brother is clearly a stubborn person. Once he falls in love with a girl, he will be devoted to her. But if he falls for someone who is unfaithful, then he will truly suffer heartbreak.
Chu Junting also became interested, "What's going on? Tell your husband."
