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

Qin Rubing slowly raised her eyes, and what she saw was the high and mighty, noble Queen.

The queen was wearing gorgeous palace clothes and a dazzling phoenix crown on her head. She exuded unparalleled majesty and solemnity.

However, what is surprising is that despite being in a high position, the queen still manages to maintain her dignity and grace, as if nothing in the world can shake her in the slightest.

Just then, the queen noticed Qin Rubing's gaze.

She did not show any displeasure at this, but instead the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a friendly smile.

This smile was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring; it was also like the warm sunshine in winter, instantly dispelling the tension and uneasiness in Qin Rubing's heart.

However, an indescribable feeling surged in Qin Rubing's heart.

She was keenly aware that at that moment, a fierce gaze was shot at her like a cold arrow.

And the direction from which this gaze came was exactly where the queen was!

It seemed as if that gaze could penetrate through layers of the crowd and curtains, locking directly on Qin Rubing, making her feel a chill running down her spine.

Qin Rubing quickly lowered her head and pretended to casually adjust the hem of her skirt, but her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

She knew very well that people in the harem were vicious and that beneath the surface of peace there was often hidden dangers.

The queen gently waved her hand, signaling Qin Rubing to come forward. Qin Rubing had no choice but to step forward and salute.

"Look up." The queen's voice was gentle and pleasant.

Qin Rubing looked up and met the queen's seemingly kind eyes again.

"I think you are well-behaved and smart. Please come to my palace often in the future." Qin Rubing agreed hurriedly.

Qin Rubing breathed a sigh of relief only after leaving the Queen.

She looked back quietly and saw a maid behind the queen glaring at her fiercely.

Qin Rubing's heart was shaken, and she couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be that the maid just gave me that fierce look? This is really puzzling!

Normally, how could a mere maid dare to be so brazen and blatant as to show such a ferocious look to her?

Could it be that there is someone backing her up? And this person is most likely the current queen?

Thinking of this, Qin Rubing couldn't help but frown. If this was true, then this matter might not be as simple as it seemed...

Qin Rubing was full of doubts. She knew that from this moment on, she had been involved in an invisible battle and she had to be extremely cautious in every step forward.

Qin Rubing returned to her residence, still feeling terrified. She called her personal maid to her side and whispered, "Go check the details of the maidservant who was with the queen today." The maid took the order and left.

A few days later, the maid brought back news that the maid was actually the daughter of a distant relative of the queen. She had grown up beside the queen and was deeply trusted by her. Qin Rubing felt even more uneasy after hearing this.

One day not long after, Qin Rubing was admiring the flowers in the garden, and the maid came over on her own initiative. "Crown Princess, I'm sorry for offending you that day." The maid said with a fake smile.

Qin Rubing looked at her warily, "Why do you say that?"

The maid snorted coldly, "The Queen values ​​you, but some people may not be happy about that." Then she turned and left.

Qin Rubing understood that this was a warning. It seemed that the Queen's invitation was not well-intentioned.

After that, Qin Rubing acted more low-key and cautious.

But strangely, the queen did not take any further action.

Until one palace banquet, a concubine deliberately made things difficult for Qin Rubing. Just when Qin Rubing was at a loss as to what to do, the Queen stepped forward to help her out.

This action completely confused Qin Rubing. She didn't know what the Queen was planning and could only wait silently for the next round of storm to come.
