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

Concubine Qi summoned the prince into the palace.

After dismissing everyone, Concubine Qi looked at Chu Tianxing, who had a worried look on his face, and consoled him: "Xing'er, you are too hasty."

Chu Tianxing said angrily, "Mother, that Qin Rubing is really evil. I have tried to kill her four times, but she escaped each time."

Concubine Qi disagreed, "It's just good luck."

Chu Tianxing sighed, "I still have a few informants in Prince Yan's Mansion, but Qin Rubing's Taoran Garden is impenetrable."

"Now Yue'er is sick again..."

When mentioning Qi Siyue, Concubine Qi felt a little distressed and said hurriedly: "Yue'er has tried very hard. The struggle for imperial power is too dangerous. She needs to adapt slowly."

"Your grandfather will also teach her patiently."

Chu Tianxing certainly understood what Concubine Qi meant. They, mother and son, still had to rely on the power of the Qi family.

Chu Tianxing's tone slowed down a little, "I will remember what mother said."

Concubine Qi thought for a moment and said, "How about I summon Qin Rubing to the palace to punish her?"

Chu Tianxing shook his head. "Mother, I have thought about it, but if something happens to her in the palace, it may be bad for you."

"It's better to deal with it outside the palace without anyone noticing."

"Outside the palace?" Concubine Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I remember someone."

"Who is it?"

"Qin Yurou."

Qin Yurou has been going to Shangshu Wu's house frequently recently, always to play with Wu Lijuan.

Wu Lijuan is about to marry into the Prince's Mansion. Thinking that she won't be so comfortable in the future, she welcomes her best friend Qin Yurou to visit her more often.

But Qin Yurou had some ulterior motives.

She thought Wu Lijuan had been married to the prince as his concubine and that the prince would visit her often.

Unexpectedly, she had traveled so many times but never met the prince once.

That day, Qin Yurou was bored and was embroidering purses with Wu Lijuan.

Wu Lijuan looked up at Qin Yurou and said slowly, "Qi Siyue is sick."

Qin Yurou quickly raised her head and looked at Wu Lijuan: "Didn't you go to see her?"

"He went there, and said he needed to rest and didn't let me see him."

The two looked at each other and said nothing more.

That day, when Wu Lijuan pushed Zhou Yutong, Qin Yurou was right next to her.

After Qin Rubing fell into the water, Wu Lijuan was scared to death.

Qin Yurou was also startled, but she forced herself to calm down, quickly walked over, grabbed Wu Lijuan's hand, and held it tightly.

It took a long time for Wu Lijuan to come back to her senses.

Wu Lijuan was very moved at that time.

But later, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the incident again.

At this time, Ping'er, Wu Lijuan's personal maid, ran in: "Miss, Miss, hurry, hurry..."

Wu Lijuan frowned, "You are so flustered, how can you be so rude? Miss Qin is still here."

Ping Er panted and said anxiously, "The prince is here."

what? !

Wu Lijuan and Qin Yurou stood up at the same time.

Wu Lijuan was so panicked that she held Qin Yurou's hand and said, "What should I do? I, I didn't dress up well today. I didn't expect the prince to come..."

"Ping'er, come and help me change my clothes. I want to change into the red one. Oh, my hair, I need to comb it again!"

Qin Yurou looked at the panicked Wu Lijuan, calmed herself down, and gently held Wu Lijuan's hand.

"Lijuan, don't be anxious. How about I go to the door and block it for you first, delaying the time so you can get ready."

"That's great. Go quickly. Just give me an incense stick of time."

"it is good."

Qin Yurou curled her lips into a smile and walked out the door.

She always dressed up carefully before coming here, just to have a chance to meet the prince.

She finally got the opportunity she had been waiting for.

As Chu Tianxing walked into Wu Lijuan's yard, he looked up and saw a young girl standing under a fiery red pomegranate tree.

The pastel-colored dress set off her graceful figure. Her fair face was slightly raised, and under her two thin eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes were blinking at her.

Chu Tianxing was touched by the cuteness and blurted out: "What a cute little girl."

The girl bowed and said, "Yu Rou greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's Miss Qin Er, why are you here?"

Chu Tianxing asked in surprise.

"I and Miss Wu are close friends. Miss Wu is changing her clothes, and fearing that she might neglect His Royal Highness, she asked me to come over to greet His Highness first."

"Oh. No thanks."

Chu Tianxing looked at Qin Yurou with interest.

The day before yesterday, Concubine Qi had just mentioned her to him.

"I can see that Qin Yurou likes you. That girl seems to be a scheming person, and she is Qin Rubing's half-sister. If you treat her with a good face, it might be helpful."

Coming back to his senses, Chu Tianxing put on a gentle expression: "Miss Qin Er is dressed so beautifully today."

Qin Yurou smiled shyly: "Your Highness, thank you for your compliment."

Chu Tianxing continued, "I heard that Miss Qin is both talented and beautiful. I wonder what talent she has?"

Qin Yurou said softly, "I like dancing."

Chu Tianxing nodded, "I'd like to see Miss Qin's dance if I have the chance."

Qin Yurou was about to say something when she suddenly heard Ping'er coming over. She hurriedly bowed to the prince and pretended to lead the way, leading the prince into the courtyard.

Chu Tianxing thought to himself: "He is a brave and clever guy."

After Chu Tianxing entered Wu Lijuan's room, Qin Yurou turned around and wanted to follow Ping'er out.

Wu Lijuan hurriedly pulled her back, "Yu Rou..."

It was her first time meeting the prince in private and she was extremely nervous.

She blushed and lowered her head to Chu Tianxing and said, "Your Highness, Yu Rou is my best friend. How about we chat together?"

Chu Tianxing glanced at Qin Yurou and said, "Okay."

Qin Yurou smiled generously, sat next to Wu Lijuan, and held Wu Lijuan's hand.

Chu Tianxing sat opposite, chatting with Wu Lijuan, but his eyes drifted towards Qin Yurou from time to time.

Qin Yurou naturally felt it. She plucked up the courage to look at Chu Tianxing. Although she said nothing, her eyes were full of passion.

Chu Tianxing smiled playfully in his heart: "She is an ambitious little girl."

After Chu Tianxing left, Wu Lijuan took a long time to recover.

She grabbed Qin Yurou's hand, her voice still trembling:

"I wasn't dreaming just now, was I?"

It was Qi Siyue who approached her about the last lake party.

Although she knew that she was working for the prince, the prince had no direct contact with her.

Is the prince's visit to her this time related to what happened last time?

"I wasn't dreaming just now, was I?"

Seeing Qin Yurou in a daze, Wu Lijuan asked again.

Qin Yurou was also asking herself the same question!

She came back to her senses, patted Wu Lijuan's hand, and seemed to be talking to herself:

"It's not a dream, it's real, it's really the prince."

After Chu Tianxing returned, he immediately asked Li Yong to find a spy planted in the General's Mansion, who would be responsible for transmitting information for him and Qin Yurou in the future.

From then on, Qin Yurou became a chess piece that Chu Tianxing planted next to Qin Rubing.
