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

Xu Shi.

Chu Tiancheng sent Qin Rubing to Chaoyang Garden.

"Your Majesty, please take a rest early."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Rubing turned around and prepared to leave.

Chu Tiancheng looked at her pretty face and slightly tired expression, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

"Bing'er, when are we going to consummate our marriage?"

Qin Rubing paused when she heard Chu Tiancheng's question suddenly from behind: Oh no, why would Chu Tiancheng have such an idea?

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, and then lowered her voice and replied:

"Have you forgotten the consensus we reached? We are surrounded by powerful enemies and the situation is extremely urgent. It is really not appropriate to indulge in love affairs."

While speaking, Qin Rubing never turned around to look at Chu Tiancheng, as if she was afraid that looking into his eyes would waver in her firm determination.

Chu Tiancheng sighed deeply and then fell silent.

He stood there quietly, staring at the figure moving further and further away in front of him.

Qin Rubing walked towards Chaoyang Garden step by step. Her steps were firm and resolute, as if she had no regrets or hesitation.

After entering Chaoyang Garden, Qin Rubing still did not look back, even for a glance.

She just walked straight forward until she disappeared from Chu Tiancheng's sight.

Looking at the empty doorway and the gradually receding figure, Chu Tiancheng felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

This feeling surged into his heart like a tide, making him feel powerless and depressed.

Chu Tiancheng shook his head helplessly, turned around and left Chaoyang Garden.

Back in his room, Chu Tiancheng lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew Qin Rubing's concerns, and also knew that his grand ambitions could not be achieved without Qin Rubing's support and help, but he increasingly hoped that Qin Rubing would become his real princess.

He decided to find another opportunity to have a good talk with Qin Rubing, hoping to convince her to be not only his partner, but also his woman.

The ninth of September.

Early in the morning, gossip that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would not sleep in the bridal chamber on their wedding night but in a side hall spread across the imperial capital like wings.

People were talking about this strange incident on the streets.

"Does the prince dislike the princess?"

"The prince must have gone to a side hall to meet his sweetheart in secret, and was caught by the Crown Princess."

The imperial capital seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere, and everyone was full of curiosity and speculation about this strange event.

In the inner court of the imperial palace, the emperor and the queen were shocked when they learned about this.

The Queen was worried that this would affect the royal reputation, so she immediately decided to summon the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to ask the reason.

Chenshi.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess knelt before the Emperor, bowed their heads and said nothing.

The emperor was furious and asked the prince, "Xing'er, you are the prince, the heir to the throne of the Eastern Kingdom. Why do you act like this?"

Chu Tianxing stammered and told the truth. It turned out that he had no feelings for the Crown Princess, but had someone else in his heart.

When the emperor heard this, he was furious. His already majestic face became even gloomier as if water could drip out of it.

He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily:

"My son, how can you treat your wife like this! The Crown Princess is from a famous family in our dynasty and has a noble status. How can you treat her so disrespectfully?"

Facing his furious father, the Crown Prince was extremely reluctant, but he also knew that he must not disobey the Emperor's will at this time, so he could only bow his head and say:

"I will follow my father's teachings and treat the Crown Princess well in the future to maintain the dignity of our royal family."

The voice was full of helplessness and unwillingness.

Qi Siyue cried all night last night. Her tears soaked her pillow, but she had no one to vent her pain to.

When she finally met the emperor today, she felt a surge of grievances in her heart, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

Because she understood that since she had married into the Prince's Mansion and became the Crown Princess, she would share the honor and disgrace and weal and woe with the Prince.

No matter what, she had to consider the overall situation and maintain the face and reputation of the royal family. Thinking of this, Qi Siyue couldn't help but feel sad and lowered her head silently...
