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

On the second day of February, a large palace banquet was held in Changqiu Palace.

On this magnificent night with bright lights just coming on, Crown Prince Chu Tiancheng was dressed in a black brocade robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, a purple gold crown on his head, and a white jade belt around his waist. He looked dignified and majestic.

His handsome face looked even more handsome in the candlelight. His deep eyes twinkled like stars. His lips were slightly raised under his high nose bridge, revealing a confident and charming smile.

The Crown Princess Qin Rubing, who was walking side by side with him, was wearing an extremely gorgeous red phoenix robe. The sleeves of the robe were embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns, and the hem of the skirt was inlaid with countless dazzling pearls.

Her long, shiny black hair was carefully combed into a high bun, with several golden hairpins inserted in it, swaying gracefully with her light steps.

Qin Rubing's skin is as white as snow, and as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade; under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes are bright and shining, and her delicate and tempting red lips seem to exude fragrance when they are slightly opened.

Crown Prince Chu Tiancheng and Crown Princess Qin Rubing slowly walked into the palace in such gorgeous attire. Wherever they went, people looked at them with envy.

As soon as I stepped into the palace, I felt everyone's gazes on me.

Qin Rubing lowered her head slightly and followed Chu Tiancheng.

There was singing and dancing at the palace banquet, and the tables were filled with delicious food.

Chu Tiancheng was talking with the ministers about court affairs, while Qin Rubing sat quietly aside.

At this time, the maid beside Concubine Qi came over with wine and said in a delicate voice: "Your Highness, the Concubine offers you a drink."

Chu Tiancheng took the wine glass and was about to drink it, but Qin Rubing reached out to stop him.

"We should test this wine first. The people in the palace are treacherous and we must be on guard."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence around.

Concubine Qi's face changed and she shrieked, "How dare you! You are slandering me."

Qin Rubing stood up calmly and said slowly:

"Don't worry, Imperial Concubine. I just heard some bad rumors recently and I'm afraid someone might use the banquet to do something improper. If nothing happens after verification, everyone will be happy."

Chu Tiancheng also echoed: "That's fine, I hope the queen will forgive me."

Although Concubine Qi was reluctant, she had no choice but to agree in front of everyone.

After the inspection, nothing unusual was found, and the storm seemed to have subsided. However, Qin Rubing knew that this was just a small test in the palace fight, and more conspiracies were still to come.

The palace banquet continued and Qin Rubing remained vigilant.

Soon, the dancers came in one after another. While they were dancing in their light gauze, Qin Rubing noticed that one of the dancers kept glancing towards the prince.

As the dancer spun and approached the prince's desk, a sachet slipped out from her sleeve.

Chu Tiancheng picked it up out of curiosity and was about to check it out when Qin Rubing snatched it away.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi sneered, "What do you mean, Crown Princess? It's just a sachet."

Qin Rubing opened the sachet and pulled out a piece of paper with her birth date vaguely written on it.

She looked at Concubine Qi: "My Lady, this is probably not an ordinary sachet."

Concubine Qi was speechless for a moment.

At this time, the Queen said:

"Today's palace banquet is supposed to be a joyous occasion, please do not create any more trouble."

Qin Rubing had no choice but to give up. But she quietly told the maid beside her to investigate the dancer's background.

After the banquet, on the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Qin Rubing expressed her doubts to Chu Tiancheng:

"Today's events are too bizarre. I'm afraid someone is behind this and is targeting Your Highness."

Chu Tiancheng held her hand and said, "Rubing, don't worry. With you by my side, I will be able to turn danger into safety."

Qin Rubing nodded and secretly made up her mind: she must protect the prince and also find out who was behind the scenes.
