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

Qin Yurou's eyes lit up when she saw the bowl of bird's nest.

The bird's nest is in a translucent curd-like state. Take a bite and it feels soft, smooth, and soothing to the throat, leaving a lingering sweet taste between your lips and teeth.

She savored it with great enjoyment.

This is not the best bird's nest.

After she entered the Prince's Mansion, as long as she could hold on to the Prince's favor, she would be able to eat delicious bird's nests as a reward from the palace every day.

She doesn't care about her status. If she can't be the principal wife, she can be a concubine. If a concubine can't be a maid, she can be a concubine.

As long as she married into the Prince's Mansion, with the tactics she learned from Aunt Sun, she would be able to defeat those two ladies from wealthy families who had little experience in fighting.

Qin Yurou ate the entire small bowl of bird's nest with satisfaction.

In order to wait for the prince, she didn't go shopping and never left the yard.

But a day passed and the prince didn't come.

By the evening, Qin Yurou could no longer sit still, and she hurried to find Aunt Sun.

Because she came out in a hurry, she didn't wear a cloak.

The evening breeze was a little chilly, and Qin Yurou couldn't help shivering as she walked on the road.

Arriving at Aunt Sun's courtyard, Qin Yurou asked anxiously:

"Mother, why didn't the prince come to see me?"

Aunt Sun stepped forward and took Qin Yurou's hand, comforting her: "Rou'er, don't worry...ah!"

She suddenly screamed, scaring Qin Yurou.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Sun pointed at Qin Yurou's face and said, "Why are there so many red spots on your face?"

what? !

Qin Yurou quickly found a bronze mirror, and when she looked at it, she was also shocked.

"Mom, what happened to my face?"

She touched it with her hand and found several small lumps.

"what!"

Qin Yurou's sharp voice rang out.

"What should I do, Mom? I can't face anyone!"

Aunt Sun hurriedly sent someone to invite the palace doctor.

Qin Zhong also came over after hearing the news.

The court doctor examined it carefully and said, "It may be a skin allergy."

He prescribed some topical ointment.

"Try applying this, but it will probably take several days for the skin to go away."

Qin Yurou couldn't help sobbing.

She relies on this face to win the prince's heart.

Qin Zhong said to Aunt Sun, "Rou'er, stay in your yard these days and don't come out."

Aunt Sun suddenly thought of the wedding in a few days, "On the day of the eldest lady's wedding..."

Qin Zhong glared at her, "You must not come out to see anyone. Do you want Rou'er to be embarrassed?"

He glanced at Qin Yurou who was crying beside him, and added, "Don't come out either, stay with Rouer."

Qin Zhong returned to the main courtyard and told Lin Shuya roughly about the situation on Qin Yurou's side.

Lin Shuya was a little puzzled, "Qin Yurou's illness is a bit strange?"

After saying that, he pointed towards Taoran Garden.

The two looked at each other and said nothing more tacitly.

A few days ago, three masked men in black suddenly appeared in the servants' room, and Aunt Liu also disappeared inexplicably. Recently, strange things have happened one after another.

Although Qin Zhong reported the case to the Jingzhao Prefecture in time, the prefect sent people to investigate but found nothing and hastily closed the case as a theft case by a gang of thieves.

Qin Zhong knew very well that since his daughter had become the Princess of Yan, the General's Mansion would certainly not be peaceful.

Li Shilin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, is a die-hard follower of the prince, and he is very capable of finding out anything.

Qin Zhong did not pursue the matter further.

Qin Rubing is becoming more and more resourceful now, and it seems that she has been hiding a lot of things.

If she didn't tell them, they wouldn't ask.

Not to mention the King of Yan, who is extremely domineering and his thoughts are beyond their ability to guess.

They can only wait and see. When their cooperation is needed, their daughter and son-in-law will tell them.

Changqiu Palace.

Concubine Qi waved her hand to signal the palace maids around her to leave, leaving only her and Chu Tianxing to have a secret conversation in the palace.

Before I knew it, the morning had passed.

Chu Tianxing left the palace only after lunch.

Although he could not hide the fatigue on his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

After Chu Tianxing left, Concubine Qi was not idle either.

She summoned Qi Siyue and Wu Lijuan into the palace one after another.

After sending the servants away, she whispered to each of them for about an hour.

After the two left, Concubine Qi took out a mysterious token from the secret compartment in the bedroom and sent her trusted Nanny Zhao out of the palace.

The sky was gradually swallowed by darkness, and the afterglow of the sunset gradually disappeared on the horizon.

It was only then that Nanny Zhao hurried back to the palace.

She walked in a hurry, but there was a barely perceptible nervousness on her face.

As soon as Nanny Zhao entered the room, Concubine Qi came to greet her, her eyes full of anxiety:

"How is it? How are things going?" There was obvious worry and expectation in his voice.

Madam Zhao hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, everything has been done. I have delivered the things as you ordered."

The stone in Concubine Qi's heart finally fell to the ground. She breathed a long sigh of relief and her body relaxed slightly.

A whole day of tension and hard work made her feel extremely tired. She slowly walked towards the chair and leaned against the back weakly, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

In four days, it will be the day of Prince Yan's wedding.

There really isn't much time left for them.

From the Crown Prince's concubine to the Imperial Concubine, over the years, Qi Lanzhi has never been a passive character.

She always chooses to take the initiative.

Just like before, she gave birth to a son before the Crown Princess, and from then on she firmly held the initiative.

Before Chu Tiancheng was born, the Queen Mother treated her better than Zhou Zichan for the sake of her eldest grandson.

And her son Chu Tianxing also gained the favor of the Queen Mother and the Emperor earlier than Chu Tiancheng.

In the first few years after Zhou Zichan became queen, she had no capital to show off because she had no children, so she could only choose to live a low-key life.

This also gave her the opportunity to be the only one favored.

Even though the queen later gave birth to a legitimate son, she had already firmly grasped the emperor's heart.

She was good at observing people's words and expressions, and never took advantage of her favor to become arrogant, which made her deeply loved by the Emperor of the East.

But since when, her ambition has been growing quietly.

She could have chosen not to compete with Zhou Zichan for the position of queen, but instead serve as a royal concubine and maintain an image of a non-jealous and virtuous woman.

But she must fight for her son's position as crown prince.

Now, she used all her power and tricks to finally secure the position of crown prince for her son.

She would not allow anyone to threaten this position again.

This time, she was determined to pull Qin Rubing out of King Yan's camp, with all her capital at stake.

If she steps down, the General's Mansion will no longer side with Prince Yan.

The Prince of Yan is weak, so her son's position as crown prince is more stable.

That short-sighted Qin Rubing is a disaster.

Concubine Qi looked fierce, gnashing her teeth and speaking word by word:

"Little bitch, I let you climb up, this time I will make you fall to pieces!"
