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

Zhu Shijie looked so mysterious that Chu Tiancheng couldn't help but knock him on the head.

"Say it!"

If Qin Rubing hadn't looked very curious, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.

"I heard that Qi Siyi was born with a unique body fragrance, which is why she can charm the emperor so much."

Zhu Shijie said in a low voice, pretending to be mysterious.

“Oh…I see.

In other words, she does have some unique qualities, and this can serve to silence everyone.

After all, he was born with this ability.

However, I wonder whether this rumor is true or not?"

Qin Rubing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Liu Yunfeng on the side suddenly said: "In my opinion, this rumor should be false."

There was a hint of disdain and suspicion in his tone.

"Why do you think so?" Qin Rubing turned to look at Liu Yunfeng, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Liu Yunfeng sneered, "If there really is such a unique body fragrance, why haven't we heard of it before? Someone must have spread this rumor deliberately to attract everyone's attention."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Chu Tiancheng nodded, "But what is so special about Qi Siyi that makes the emperor love her so much?"

"Perhaps she has other outstanding qualities." Qin Rubing said thoughtfully, "Anyway, we should be careful. Anything can happen in the palace."

The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

Chu Tiancheng shouted to the outside in a low voice: "Yan Yi."

Yan Yi walked quickly into the room and stood respectfully in front of Chu Tiancheng waiting for instructions.

"Go and arrange some people to keep an eye on Qi Siyi. I want to know her every move, including who she contacts, and report to me in a timely manner. Do you understand?"

Yan nodded and replied, "Yes, master." Then he turned and left.

Two days later.

Chu Tiancheng had just finished his morning court session and walked into the study when Yan Yi came rushing in to report.

"Master, I have activated the secret agents in the palace to monitor Qi Siyi's every move. From the intelligence sent back, there are no loopholes."

Qin Rubing happened to come to inquire about the news. When she heard Yan Yi's report at the door of the study, she was a little puzzled, but she left without saying a word.

After returning to Chaoyang Garden, Qin Rubing immediately dismissed the servants and closed the door.

"Xiaoyu."

"I'm here."

"Look at what Qi Siyi is doing."

"Yes, Master. Turn on the surveillance camera function."

In Yi Garden, Concubine Yi was dressing herself in front of the mirror.

"Xiao Yu, move the camera closer and take a close-up of the face." Qin Rubing said.

"Yes, Master."

Qin Rubing stared at Qi Siyi's delicate little face for a full half incense stick of time.

"I always feel like something is wrong." Qin Rubing said to herself.

After dressing up carefully, Qi Siyi walked to the Queen's Palace with light steps.

This has become her daily routine - paying respects to the Queen.

She walked into the palace and saw the queen sitting on the throne with a gentle smile on her face.

Qi Siyi saluted respectfully, then stood quietly aside waiting for the queen's instructions.

"Lady Yi looks exceptionally beautiful today," the Queen praised.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the compliment." Qi Siyi responded modestly.

Then, Qi Siyi began to express her concern and respect for the Queen, and reported to her some interesting trivia she heard in the palace in order to make the Queen smile.

Her words were sincere and appropriate, and the Queen seemed very satisfied.

"Siyi, I am deeply pleased by your thoughtfulness," the queen said. "I hope other concubines can come to my place more often like you and exchange ideas."

Qi Siyi smiled and nodded, indicating that she was willing to follow the Queen's advice.

Noon, Prince's Mansion.

Chu Tiancheng and Qin Rubing sat at the dining table and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch together.

The two of them ate while chatting happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

After dinner, Qin Rubing suddenly remembered Qi Siyi's matter and couldn't help asking Yan Yi:

"Is there nothing suspicious about Qi Siyi?" Her eyes revealed a hint of doubt and curiosity.

Yan Yi replied respectfully: "My Lord, I did not find anything suspicious about Concubine Yi."

Qin Rubing frowned and continued to ask: "What does she do every day?"

She was very interested in Qi Siyi and wanted to know more details about her life.

Yan Yi described it in detail: "Noble Lady Yi would go out every morning to pay respects to the Queen's bedroom.

At noon, she usually takes a nap.

In the afternoon, he would drink tea and chat with the concubines who came to visit.

As for the night, the Emperor has chosen to stay at her place every day recently."

Qin Rubing nodded and said softly, "Okay, I understand."

She turned and smiled at Chu Tiancheng, "Your Highness, I want to go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother tomorrow."

Her voice was calm and gentle, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination and perseverance.

Chu Tiancheng nodded slightly, showing his understanding and support.

He looked at Qin Rubing deeply. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them.

They all understood the importance of this visit to the palace to pay their respects to the entire situation, and they were also aware that there might be various dangers and challenges hidden in it.

But they never backed down and were willing to face all difficulties together.

The next day, Chenshi.

Qin Rubing entered the palace early and came to the queen's palace with ease.

She was wearing a light blue dress, with an elegant posture and light steps, like a fairy descending to earth.

Her face was filled with confidence and calmness, and her eyes were sparkling with wisdom.

The queen is still graceful, elegant and generous.

She was very happy to see Qin Rubing coming, after all, she was her own daughter-in-law.

Qin Rubing and the Queen chatted about some interesting topics, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

However, Qin Rubing had other plans in mind.

Not long after, Qi Siyi came to pay her respects to the queen on time as usual.

Concubine Yi was wearing a bright palace dress, which was formal yet elegant, and her hair was combed neatly.

When she walked into the palace, she saw Qin Rubing here at a glance. A hint of subtle surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She bowed to the queen with a smile on her face, and then bowed to Qin Rubing according to etiquette.

The status of a Crown Princess is higher than that of a small noble.

After the three of them sat down, they began to have a pleasant chat again.

They talked about trivial matters and interesting things in the palace, and laughed constantly.

Qi Siyi and Qin Rubing both behaved very cordially and friendly, as if they had been good friends for many years.

Qi Siyi is smart and eloquent, and is no less capable than Qin Rubing.)

The two of them chatted and laughed, showing their respective talents and charms.

The queen sat aside, watching them quietly, nodding and smiling from time to time to express her appreciation.

As time went on, the conversation deepened and involved more court affairs and interpersonal relationships.

Qin Rubing sensitively captured Qi Siyi's concern for the Qi family, and she decided to cleverly use this topic to guide the conversation.

Through carefully designed questions and responses, she successfully made Qi Siyi naturally express her fear of the head of the Qi family.

Qin Rubing saw this scene and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What mission did the head of the Qi family assign to Qi Siyi? Why did he make the second young lady of the Qi family so afraid?

These questions kept circling in Qin Rubing's mind.

Perhaps, she needed to understand the situation within the Qi family more deeply before she could find the answer.

And this opportunity may be right in front of us.

At the same time, Qi Siyi also seized the opportunity to put forward her ideas to the queen in a timely manner, hoping to get the queen's support and recognition.

She understood that only with the Queen's approval could she better implement her plan.

The whole scene seems harmonious and peaceful, but in fact there are undercurrents.

Qin Rubing and Qi Siyi were both competing secretly, trying to win the Queen's favor and trust.

The queen watched them calmly. This war without the smoke of gunpowder has just begun...
