The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Chu Tiancheng was about to bow when the Queen Mother gave him a soft support with a loving look on her face, "No need for that. Cheng'er, please sit down. Are you feeling better?"

After sitting down, Chu Tiancheng respectfully replied to the Queen Mother: "Grandson thanks the Queen Mother for her concern. I am fine now."

Chu Tianxing turned the teacup in his hand and raised it to his lips, hiding the coldness in his eyes.

He had received accurate information from the Imperial Hospital that Chu Tiancheng would not live more than three months.

After a moment, Chu Tianxing raised his head and said softly, "Second brother, you are well now. You need to rest more."

Chu Tiancheng replied calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Prince."

The Queen Mother glanced at the two of them, her eyes darkening slightly.

"Let's eat!" As soon as Emperor Dong finished speaking, the palace maids came in one after another and brought all kinds of exquisite dishes to the table.

Yan Yi quietly took a step forward, walked up to Chu Tiancheng and whispered in his ear.

After Yan Yi stepped back, Chu Tiancheng casually glanced at the entire room, his gaze lingering on Qin Rubing for a moment.

Sure enough it was her.

Yan Yi told Qin Rubing's exact location, and it turned out to be the beautiful woman who had just stared at him boldly.

Like a lotus in clear water, she is naturally free of decoration. Her beauty is outstanding, like a fairy. Her temperament is completely different from that of the women in the imperial capital.

At this time, Qin Rubing was enjoying her meal. The dishes at the palace banquet were really exquisite and delicious.

Chu Tianxing glanced towards Qin Rubing a few times, full of disgust.

When Concubine Qi saw Chu Tianxing frowning, she followed his gaze and saw how Qin Rubing was eating.

She dared not disobey her grandfather's words. But she did wrong her son. How could Qin Rubing be worthy of such an outstanding son?

She turned her eyes and thought that he was not as good as the concubine Qin Yurou. She saw clearly the obsessed look in Qin Yurou's eyes when she looked at the prince.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Concubine Qi looked at the Emperor Dong coquettishly and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is already 24 years old..."

Dongdi smiled heartily, looked at Chu Tianxing, and asked, "Xing'er, do you have a favorite girl?"

Chu Tianxing glanced at Qi Siyue tenderly and replied, "Father, I like Qi Siyue."

The Emperor looked at Qi Yong and asked, "My dear Qi, what is your opinion?"

Qi Yong stepped forward with great fear and trepidation and replied, "I will leave it entirely to the emperor to decide."

The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother respectfully, and she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's up to you."

The Emperor of the East announced on the spot that he would grant a marriage between Crown Prince Chu Tianxing and Prime Minister's daughter Qi Siyue.

Later, Chu Tianxing requested the position of concubine for Wu Lijuan. The emperor also agreed and granted the marriage on the spot.

Chu Tianxing was very happy that the first two steps went smoothly. He drank the wine in the cup and knelt in front of the East Emperor again.

"Father, I dare to ask for another concubine."

Concubine Qi pretended to be angry and said, "Xing'er, although the prince can have two concubines, can't you wait and decide? Do you have to do it all at once?"

Chu Tianxing kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said loudly: "Grandmother, I want you to have a great-grandson soon."

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Qi and said, "Lanzhi, Xing'er is already the Crown Prince and has the obligation to have children for the royal family. Don't stop him."

After saying that, he glanced at Emperor Dong again.

Dongdi said, "Whose daughter do you fancy now?"

Chu Tianxing took a deep breath and thought of the cold and calm figure who looked straight ahead when he passed by Qin Rubing in the afternoon. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

After a few breaths, he pretended to be affectionate and said, "I fell in love with General Qin's daughter, Qin Rubing, at first sight. I want to ask for her to be a concubine."

Qi Siyue had long known from her father that in order to win over General Qin, the prince had no choice but to take Qin Rubing as a concubine, but she never expected that the prince would use the words "love at first sight".

She looked at Qin Rubing with eyes full of jealousy.

Wu Lijuan was also surprised and looked at Qin Rubing in astonishment, as if thinking about something.

Chu Tianxing turned his head and looked at Qin Rubing with what he thought was a gentle look.

Qin Rubing's face was calm as usual. She didn't look at the prince, but at General Qin, and casually touched her left earlobe.

Chu Tiancheng also glanced at Qin Rubing and happened to see her little movement.

He keenly felt that the father and daughter came prepared.

When the Eastern Emperor asked for Qin Zhong's opinion, Qin Zhong knelt down with a plop and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have gone through life and death, and I am loyal to Your Majesty and swear to defend the Eastern Kingdom to the death. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard."

The Emperor of the East was surprised: "Why do you say that, General?"

"Your Majesty, Rubing has accompanied me in guarding the border for six years. Her filial piety is so touching. I owe her so much. I promise to find a good family for her after returning to the imperial capital. I don't ask for wealth, but she must be my legal wife, never a concubine. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish!"

Qin Zhong knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

Chu Tianxing stood there in a daze.

Concubine Qi was extremely angry.

The queen glanced at Qin Zhong and smiled slightly.

Chu Tiancheng looked at Qin Rubing and saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but it disappeared in an instant.

Emperor Dong looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment.

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Tianxing and said slowly: "Xing'er, give General Qin some face."

"Yes, grandson will listen to the royal grandmother." Chu Tianxing sat back in his seat obediently.

Concubine Qi felt upset when she heard the words "I will never be your concubine".

Although she was a noble concubine, she was, after all, a concubine.

She glanced at the queen, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "Sister, the King of Yan is already 23 years old, and he hasn't married yet. Aren't you in a hurry?"

The queen replied calmly: "It's all up to the emperor."

Concubine Qi continued, "Miss Qin has lived with General Qin in Mobei for six years. She looks healthy and can eat and drink. She doesn't look as delicate as the daughters of the imperial capital."

The Queen looked at her and said, "Sister, just say whatever you want to say."

Concubine Qi made up her mind and said, "My sister, what you mean is that Miss Qin wants to be the principal wife. It would be perfect for her to be my daughter-in-law. Maybe she can even get pregnant with a child..."

"Lanzhi!" The Queen Mother and the Emperor of the East stopped Concubine Qi at the same time.

Concubine Qi swallowed the word "喜".

Only very few people knew that the King of Yan would soon die.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor looked at each other: Child? This really hit the nail on the head.

The Queen and Chu Tiancheng also looked at each other: Is Concubine Qi so angry that she has lost her mind?

Chu Tianxing was stunned and looked up at Concubine Qi: Are you treating Qin Rubing as an abandoned pawn?

Emperor Dong walked over and personally helped Qin Zhong up.

"Lord Qin, what do you think of the King of Yan?"

"Your Majesty?" Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment and immediately looked at Qin Rubing.

Qin Rubing calmly touched her right earlobe.

Qin Zhong knelt down and kowtowed decisively, and replied: "It's all up to the emperor."

Chu Tiancheng witnessed all this and was extremely suspicious:

Why did she agree? What was her ulterior motive?

Emperor Dong looked at Chu Tiancheng and asked, "Cheng'er, what do you mean?"

Chu Tiancheng bowed slightly: "I will leave it to the Emperor to decide."

"Okay!" The Emperor of the East immediately granted marriage to the two.

Yan Yi supported Chu Tiancheng and came to the front of Emperor Dong. Qin Rubing walked over and stood beside Chu Tiancheng.

A faint scent of jasmine wafted in, vaguely visible.

The two of them kowtowed together to express their gratitude.

From the corner of his eye, Chu Tiancheng saw the emerald green jade bracelet on Qin Rubing's left wrist faintly visible.

Concubine Qi sneered in her heart, thinking that Qin Rubing was really ungrateful. She had to choose that short-lived guy. She could only wait to be a widow.

Chu Tianxing looked at the perfect couple standing together, feeling annoyed, with murderous intent rising in his eyes.
