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

On New Year's Eve of that year, the Changqiu Palace was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

A grand banquet was being held here, inviting members of the royal family and dignitaries from the imperial capital to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

The entire palace was decorated magnificently, and countless candles illuminated every corner.

The palace maids were busy moving around, setting up the banquet and placing the exquisite dishes on the table one by one.

The invited guests were dressed in gorgeous dresses and had happy smiles on their faces.

They greeted each other, talked and laughed, and looked forward to the wonderful show on this special night.

In a corner of the palace, musicians played cheerful music; the melodious tunes echoed in the air, adding to the joyful atmosphere.

The dancers danced lightly, showing graceful dance moves, which won rounds of applause.

The emperor and empress sat in the main seats, smiling and chatting with the guests.

They extended New Year greetings to everyone and thanked everyone for their support and dedication to the country.

This evening banquet is not only a reunion, but also an opportunity to showcase the prosperity of the Eastern Kingdom.

Here, people can enjoy the pleasure brought by food, music and dance and spend an unforgettable New Year's Eve together.

Youshi.

The clouds in the sky began to accumulate slowly, gradually forming a gray scene.

After a while, white snowflakes floated in the sky, dancing in the air like elves.

The snowflakes became more and more numerous and denser, gradually covering the entire world with a layer of white snow.

As time went by, the size of the snowflakes began to change, from the initial tiny particles to large flakes.

These big snowflakes fluttered down, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

There was enough charcoal fire in the grand banquet hall of Changqiu Palace, making it warm.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, and being roasted by the charcoal fire, Qin Rubing felt a little drowsy.

Suddenly, the door to the banquet hall opened, and a guard came in to report:

"Your Majesty, the Southern Emperor of the Southern Kingdom has personally led an envoy to celebrate the New Year."

"Nan Di?...Please come in!"

Dongdi sobered up all of a sudden and looked towards the door expectantly.

The Southern Emperor would never come empty-handed on his first visit to the Eastern Kingdom.

"Why is Xiao Yiyun here?" Qin Rubing was a little confused.

Outside the window, the cold wind was howling, the snow was falling, and the world covered in snow was silent.

Inside the house, it was warm as spring and brightly lit, as if in stark contrast to the cold outside.

On such a snowy night, Xiao Yifei walked in.

He was wearing a black robe covered with snowflakes and looked like he came from far away.

His face looked a little tired, but his eyes revealed firmness and determination.

Qin Rubing watched quietly as Xiao Yifei slowly walked into the hall.

The two were far apart, but their eyes met in the air.

They don't need to speak, just communicate with their eyes.

Qin Rubing: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yifei: "I...I want to see you."

His eyes always stayed on Qin Rubing, as if he was looking for some answer.

Qin Rubing frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Why do you want to see me suddenly?"

Xiao Yifei shook his head slightly: "I don't know how to explain it, but... I just want to see you."

Qin Rubing sighed softly and looked at him quietly.

Time seemed to stand still, with only the two of them looking at each other in the air.

An inexplicable warmth surged in Xiao Yifei's heart. Although it was only a short meeting, it was enough for him.

Everything happens in a flash, and silence is better than words.
