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

The temperature dropped sharply, the wind was cold, and winter plunged the imperial capital into a deep chill.

Qin Rubing, dressed in a simple white cotton coat, strolled on the wide and lonely street of Yongding Road, accompanied by the fragrance of bamboo.

She exhaled a breath of white mist, and the mist was instantly swallowed up by the cold air without a trace.

Her eyes slowly swept across the street scenery, the bare trees shivering in the cold wind.

Most of the roadside shops had their doors and windows closed, and there were a few that were open, but there were very few customers.

The pedestrians walked hurriedly, as if they were all eager to escape from the cold.

However, Qin Rubing walked slowly. She enjoyed the tranquility and quietness, letting her thoughts float in her mind.

Before she knew it, she had been here for ten months.

Here, she witnessed too much human suffering and vicissitudes of life.

She sincerely hoped that a wise and intelligent monarch who cared about the people of the world would emerge in the Eastern Kingdom.

This wise king will govern the country with his outstanding wisdom and extraordinary leadership, allowing the people to live a stable, peaceful, and happy life without worries about food and clothing.

They will no longer suffer from war and be displaced, but will be able to work hard in their own homes and enjoy family happiness.

And now, this beautiful vision no longer seems out of reach.

All signs indicate that we are just one step away from achieving this goal.

One day in the near future, Chu Tiancheng will lead the Eastern Kingdom into a new era of prosperity.

Qin Rubing unknowingly walked to the vicinity of Changqiu Palace.

Not far ahead, a magnificent and imposing palace stood out. That was the Changqiu Palace.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain towering into the clouds, majestically overlooking everything around it.

The palace has a unique architectural style, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, which is magnificent.

Each pillar seems to carry the sediment of thousands of years of history, solid and solemn; each glazed tile shines with golden light, dazzling and astonishing.

This towering palace not only displays the royal dignity and luxury, but also reveals a solemn and dignified atmosphere that makes people feel awe.

When Qin Rubing was staring at Changqiu Palace in a daze, she heard a sound of footsteps behind her.

She looked back and saw that it was the palace maid Cui Liu.

Cui Liu bowed and said, "Crown Princess, the Queen heard that you were here, so she sent me here to invite you into the palace for a chat."

Qin Rubing was confused, but followed Cui Liu into Changqiu Palace.

When I entered the palace, I saw the queen sitting on the main seat with a graceful demeanor.

The queen looked at Qin Rubing with a smile:

"Rubing, I asked you to come here today because I know you care about the world, and His Majesty often praises you for your intelligence.

Although the court is expected to prosper, the harem also needs stability. I want you to stay by my side and learn how to help manage the harem."

Qin Rubing was shocked and tried to refuse.

The Queen continued, "Please do not be so hasty to refuse, Crown Princess. I know you have no intention of competing for favor, but the hearts of people in the Crown Prince's Mansion are complicated. I need someone who truly cares about the Crown Prince to assist me."

Qin Rubing pondered for a moment, then slowly knelt down and responded, "I will follow the Queen's order."

From that day on, Qin Rubing often went in and out of Changqiu Palace, following the Queen to learn how to handle matters in the harem.

One day, a flower-viewing banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.

The concubines from various palaces gathered together in gorgeous attire, smiling and talking on the surface, but secretly trying to trip each other up.

A servant deliberately spilled tea on a nobleman, causing the nobleman to lose his temper on the spot.

Qin Rubing stepped forward calmly, first comforted the nobleman, and then gently reprimanded Chang Zai for not knowing the rules.

He often relied on the slight influence of his family to talk back.

Qin Rubing calmly ordered someone to bring the palace rules and regulations, and read out in public the rules that Changzai had violated and the corresponding punishments.

Chang Zai's face turned pale immediately, and the concubines all stopped looking down on her upon seeing this.

Afterwards, the Queen looked at Qin Rubing with appreciation: "I was right about you."

Qin Rubing replied respectfully: "Your Majesty has taught me well, and I am just following the palace rules."

After this incident, Qin Rubing's prestige in the harem gradually increased, but she also knew that the road ahead would only become more difficult.
