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

Zhuxiang heard the noise and hurried in.

"Miss!"

Seeing that Qin Rubing's forehead was covered with sweat, the little girl quickly took a handkerchief and wiped it while muttering.

"Why did you have a nightmare out of nowhere?"

Qin Rubing didn't say anything.

She knew that the dream was extremely real.

"Okay, go to bed."

After sending Zhuxiang away, Qin Rubing raised his left wrist and looked at the jade bracelet.

After searching for a long time and turning it around several times, I still couldn't find any mechanism.

Had to give up temporarily.

After getting up in the morning, Qin Rubing heard some noise outside, as if several people had come.

Zhu Xiang came in and reported, "Miss, the housekeeper Liu Bo brought a few maids here. They used to serve in the eldest lady's courtyard."

Qin Rubing actually likes quietness, but it is her mother's wish after all.

"Ask who knows how to comb hair and ask her to come in and serve. Leave the others outside and Uncle Liu can take care of the arrangements."

After Zhuxiang went out for a while, she brought in a little maid.

"I've met the eldest lady!"

The little girl had a clear voice and a pretty face, and she bowed obediently.

"What's your name?"

"Please give me your name, Miss."

Qin Rubing thought for a moment and said, "Let's call her Chrysanthemum from now on."

Juhua bowed happily to express her gratitude and began to comb Qin Rubing's hair.

"I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. Is there anything big happening in the capital recently?"

Juhua was stunned. "Big news? I rarely even left the Madam's courtyard before, how could I know what big news it was?"

"It's something that a lot of people are talking about. If even you have heard about it, it must be a big deal."

Qin Rubing patiently and persuadingly.

"Prince Yan, everyone has been talking about Prince Yan recently!"

Really cool, that's what I want to hear.

"Tell me."

Juhua talked a lot and dumped out everything she had heard about Prince Yan from her sisters, Aunt Li in the kitchen, and Zhuzi, the coachman.

The Eastern Emperor spent three years building the new Prince's Palace.

Last month, there were rumors that the Emperor of the East was going to announce the appointment of a crown prince.

It is a foregone conclusion that the crown prince is the Prince of Yan, who is deeply loved by the Emperor of the East and born to the Queen.

The King of Yan joined the army at the age of fifteen, defended his country, made outstanding military achievements, and never suffered a defeat. He was hailed as the God of War by the people of the Eastern Emperor.

Every time the God of War King Yan returned triumphantly, the people would gather on Yongqing Road to welcome him.

Yongding Road is the main north-south road, leading from the north gate to Changqiu Palace where the Eastern Emperor lived.

The King of Yan rode a tall horse and walked in front.

Behind him is the iron-clad army, which is as powerful as a rainbow and looks majestic and awe-inspiring.

When Qin Rubing imagined these scenes, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

The main point that Juhua spent a lot of space to describe was the grand occasion of the charming Prince Yan who charmed countless girls in the imperial capital.

"Aunt Li said she caught up with him once three years ago."

"On both sides of Yongqing Road, many young girls were calling out to the King of Yan, and flowers, handkerchiefs, and sachets were thrown to him like rain."

"What is King Yan's attitude?"

"The King of Yan... doesn't seem interested. It is said that he never gets close to women."

This is consistent with what Qin Rubing had previously learned.

"The Prince of Yan won another great victory this year, but he did not become the crown prince."

Chrysanthemum's tone was full of regret.

"I heard he was seriously injured. He didn't even hold a ceremony when he came back this year."

"Later, the eldest prince became the crown prince."

"Ah? The eldest prince has become the crown prince?"

"What about King Yan?"

"I no longer know."

There was no news these past two days, and Qin Rubing didn't expect that the eldest prince would become the crown prince so soon.

Although the auspicious day for establishing a crown prince had been set long ago, given the East Emperor's favor for the Prince of Yan, he would not easily change the crown prince.

Unless the King of Yan is seriously injured or even in danger.

Qin Rubing couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Juhua didn't notice Qin Rubing's expression change. After combing her hair, she asked for credit: "Miss, take a look at the snapshot. Are you satisfied?"

"Bring me a mirror."

Qin Rubing suddenly remembered that she had never looked in the mirror.

Before, when I was outside, there was no mirror.

Now she is back home, but there is no mirror in the yard where she lives.

Zhuxiang hurried to find the housekeeper, found a bronze mirror from the warehouse, and quickly moved it over.

"Are mirrors so scarce?" Qin Rubing said unhappily.

Liu Bo kept apologizing.

"Please forgive me, Miss. I was negligent."

Qin Rubing knew that since the eldest lady was not interested in managing the backyard, the affairs of the mansion had always been controlled by Aunt Sun.

Although General Qin asked Aunt Sun to clean up the yard for the eldest lady when he came back a few days ago.

But when it comes to preparing specific items, Aunt Sun is not very generous.

Seeing that the housekeeper took the responsibility, Qin Rubing, who had just arrived, did not want to cause trouble.

"It's just a small matter, forget it."

He waved his hand and let Liu Bo leave.

Zhuxiang held up a bronze mirror and stood in front of Qin Rubing.

The mirror wasn't very clear, and this was the first time Qin Rubing saw her own appearance since she traveled through time.

At first glance, I gave myself a comment: natural beauty.

Qin Rubing inherited her mother's beautiful appearance, and her father's inherent heroic spirit.

Especially the eyes, which are smart and alert.

Juhua is very skillful and she takes care of her hair very nicely, which adds a touch of noble temperament to her.

Qin Rubing nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, Qin Rubing in ancient times was much more beautiful than myself now.

Qin Rubing couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

"Zhuxiang, Juhua, after breakfast I will take you shopping."

The two little girls immediately danced with joy.

After leaving the house, he got on the carriage.

Juhua asked Qin Rubing: "East Market or West Market, where do you want to go, Miss?"

"What's the difference?"

"The East Market is mainly for dignitaries, while the West Market is a market for common people."

"The East Market is more prosperous, with many large shops. For example, jewelry stores, accessories stores, and clothing stores."

"There are many handicraft workshops in Xishi, such as pottery kilns and iron workshops."

"Where is closer?"

"West Market is close. Just walk north from our General's Mansion and you will reach West Market."

"Go to West Market." Qin Rubing knocked on the wall of the carriage.

The coachman Zhuzi outside agreed and the carriage headed north.

In the carriage, Juhua took the time to explain the situation to Qin Rubing.

"Miss, the road we are walking on now is called Huayang Street. If you walk north to the end of this street, you will reach Xishi."

"If you go south, you will pass by the Prince's Mansion."

"After passing the Prince's Mansion and heading south, you will see a very wide road at the end. That is Yong'an Road."

"There are two particularly magnificent palaces to the south of Yong'an Road, the Changqiu Palace where the emperor lived and the Yongle Palace where the empress dowager lived."

"Where is Prince Yan's Mansion?" Qin Rubing suddenly asked.

"The Prince of Yan's Mansion is just to the east of the Crown Prince's Mansion, separated by Huayang Street."

"Prince Yan and the Crown Prince live next door to each other?"

"The main gates of the Crown Prince's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion are both on Yong'an Road. There are no gates on Huayang Street."

As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the West Market.

Qin Rubing put on the veil that Juhua had prepared in advance, and got off the carriage with Zhuxiang and Juhua.

The West Market is set up along the city wall, with numerous small workshops selling a wide variety of items.

Qin Rubing stopped in front of a pig iron shop.

You need to have some weapons that suit you.

Qin Rubing had a hunch that there would be tough battles to fight in the future.

"Master, I want to make a small and practical dagger."

Blacksmith Li Erniu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Rubing: "For self-defense?"

Qin Rubing nodded.

"Are you good at martial arts?"

Qin Rubing shook his head.

"Come back in three days to pick it up."

Qin Rubing asked Zhuxiang to pay the deposit.

After leaving the pig iron shop, Qin Rubing looked back and thought, if Master Li made this dagger well, she would come here often in the future.

She will have a lot of things to order in the future, including surgical tools, weapons, etc., all of which will have to be made here.
