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

November 1st, chenshi, at the north gate of Yuncheng.

The sun shines on the broad official road as the Eastern Kingdom's King of Yan, Chu Tiancheng, and his Queen, Qin Rubing, are about to embark on their journey home.

This journey not only means returning to the homeland, but also a new journey full of unknowns and challenges.

The new Southern Emperor Xiao Yiyun of the Southern Kingdom led the civil and military officials to see him off as a state guest.

Xiao Yiyun was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, his face was solemn and majestic, and his eyes revealed respect and gratitude for Chu Tiancheng.

Behind him, civil and military officials dressed in neat court robes were lined up in an orderly manner.

With colorful flags flying and gongs and drums beating, the farewell procession moved slowly along the wide street. People on both sides of the street lined the streets to see them off and express their respect and blessings to the New Southern Emperor and the distinguished guests from the Eastern Kingdom.

Xiao Yiyun personally went up to the podium and delivered an enthusiastic speech. He hoped that the two sides could strengthen cooperation and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the two countries.

The farewell ceremony ended successfully amid warm applause.

Xiao Yiyun took the initiative to walk towards Chu Tiancheng and hugged him goodbye.

They both understood in their hearts that as long as the friendship between them lasted, the Eastern and Southern countries would live in peace in the future.

After hugging Chu Tiancheng goodbye, Xiao Yiyun looked at Qin Rubing who was standing next to Chu Tiancheng, nodded slightly politely, and said sincerely: "Take care."

Qin Rubing smiled faintly and nodded, "I wish you can marry the queen soon and have a son soon."

Xiao Yiyun still replied politely: "Thank you, Princess Yan."

He maintained a polite smile and watched Qin Rubing and Chu Tiancheng board a luxurious carriage together.

More than ten carriages loaded with gifts from the new South Emperor to the East Emperor followed closely behind.

Escorted by dozens of guards carrying swords, the convoy marched northward in a mighty procession.

The convoy went farther and farther away until it completely disappeared from sight.

Xiao Yiyun still stood there without moving, staring blankly into the distance for a long time.

In the moving carriage, Qin Rubing sat on the seat, her body leaning back slightly, leaning against the wall, her eyes closed, as motionless as a sculpture.

Her face was calm and peaceful, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

The sunlight shone onto her through the car window, highlighting her beautiful face, making her even more radiant.

Chu Tiancheng stared at her profile for a long time with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see the world deep in her heart through her tightly closed eyes.

However, she remained expressionless with her eyes closed, as calm as the surface of a lake, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations.

Chu Tiancheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

Qin Rubing's attitude clearly showed that she didn't want to talk to him.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to remain silent.

He closed his eyes helplessly, trying to calm his thoughts.

After Chu Tiancheng closed his eyes, Qin Rubing opened her eyes and looked out the car window with her beautiful eyes.

The breeze gently brushed the car window, blowing up the curtains gently, revealing a green scenery outside the window.

The air outside the car is fresh and pleasant, with the scent of grass and soil, making people feel extremely comfortable.

The mountains are undulating and the trees are shady. The blue sky and white clouds in the distance and the green mountains and green waters complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

The Southern Kingdom has a pleasant climate and fertile land. If it is well governed, it will be the richest country among the four countries of the Shenzhou continent.

Qin Rubing withdrew her gaze and recalled what happened last night.

Last night, the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion was decorated with lights and full of joy.

The Ding'an Marquis family carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner to see off Chu Tiancheng and Qin Rubing who were about to return home.

At the dinner, the Prince of Ding'an had a very pleasant conversation with Chu Tiancheng.

While enjoying the delicious food, they talked about world affairs, military strategies and the beautiful things in life.

The two of them had endless topics to talk about, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. They drank wine, talked and laughed, and seemed to have forgotten the time.

Marquis Ding'an sat aside with a smile, silently watching the two young men, his heart full of expectations and blessings for them.

In sharp contrast to the liveliness of the crowd, Qin Rubing seemed exceptionally quiet.

She sat there quietly, her eyes occasionally drifting off into the distance, but more often than not, she just silently watched everything in front of her.

When the banquet was halfway through, she only had a few drinks and left the party early.

Under the guidance of the maid, Qin Rubing walked through the corridors and courtyards and came to a small and exquisite courtyard.

The yard is surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, and the environment is very quiet and peaceful.

This is her temporary residence in Ding'an Marquis Mansion.

She pushed open the door and walked into the yard. The yard was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The night is like water, and the moonlight shines in the yard, as soft and beautiful as silver gauze.

She strolled in the courtyard, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the night.

She walked to the stone bench in the middle of the yard and sat down, looking up at the sky, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She waved her hand gently, asking the maid to bring a pot of fragrant hot tea, and then slowly savored the fragrance and bitterness of the tea.

She closed her eyes and felt the aroma of tea spreading in her mouth, as if it could wash away all her fatigue and worries.

This was her last night in Yuncheng. She sat alone at the stone table, enjoying this rare tranquility.

The moonlight shone on her through the gaps in the leaves, casting a mysterious halo on her.

At this moment, she was immersed in her own world, her heart was calm and peaceful, as if time had stopped.

At this moment, Xiao Yiyun actually climbed over the wall silently.

He didn't expect that Qin Rubing happened to be sitting in the yard, just watching him coming over the wall.

Xiao Yiyun was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head, walked over, sat opposite Qin Rubing, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The moonlight is like water and the tea fragrance is pleasant.

"You're here." Qin Rubing smiled indifferently and spoke softly.

Xiao Yiyun's heart trembled, and he suddenly mustered up the courage to say: "If you want to stay..."

"Xiao Yiyun, you will be a good emperor, and the Southern States will become richer and more beautiful.

The people of the Eastern Kingdom also need a good emperor.

I am optimistic about Chu Tiancheng, I want to help him become the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, this is my wish."

"What happens after your wish is fulfilled?" Xiao Yiyu asked carefully.

He knew that Qin Rubing had not consummated her marriage with Chu Tiancheng and they had always been in a partnership.

"I will travel around." Qin Rubing said without hesitation.

Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she couldn't help but think of Chu Tiancheng.

Chu Tiancheng has greater ambition to dominate the world than Xiao Yiyun. He is courageous and has outstanding literary and military skills. The unification of the four countries in the Shenzhou continent may be realized in his hands.

She respected him, even admired him, but she couldn't fall in love with him.

Chu Tiancheng has the world in his heart and wants to dominate the world, but he will also shoulder heavy responsibilities.

He could promise her the position of queen, but the three thousand beauties in the harem were unavoidable.

In order to consolidate the imperial power, he had to take the daughters of loyal ministers in the court as concubines; in order to appease the four countries, he had to accept princesses from other countries into the harem.

And how could Qin Rubing share an incomplete love with others?

When the one-year time travel period was up, she left after completing the task of helping Chu Tiancheng become emperor.

Just focus on building your empire and not fall in love. This was the rule she set for herself when she first came here.

Although Qin Rubing didn't say anything, the expression on her face kept changing with her inner thoughts, and eventually became more and more determined.

Xiao Yiyun carefully observed her expression and could naturally sense her firm determination.

"Traveling around? Will you come to the Southern Country?" he asked softly.

Qin Rubing was slightly stunned. "Traveling is naturally aimless..."

"I'll wait for you here."

After a pause, Xiao Yiyun took out the jade pendant from his arms, spread out his palm, placed it in his palm, looked at Qin Rubing and continued: "My position as queen will always be reserved for you."

Qin Rubing looked over and recognized at a glance that it was the jade pendant that she had given him at Duanya Mountain.

Could it be that he had been secretly in love with me since then?

As a modern man, Qin Rubing gave him the jade pendant just to thank him for saving her life.

But as an ancient woman, giving a personal jade pendant to a man seems to be a token of love?

Qin Rubing suddenly felt confused about her relationship with Xiao Yiyun.

Was their meeting a mistake from the beginning? Or was their fate already doomed and inescapable?
