When Shen Lingli and Hua Yunyun were plotting to frame Li Han, they happened to hear that the time would come for the small border country to pay tribute to the capital, and that people would be sent from the border at that time, along with a princess for marriage.

"Hey, have you heard? This time those small border nations came to our Li Kingdom to pay tribute. I heard there's a princess there, the third and most beloved princess of the King of the Western Regions."

"I know, I know. A distant relative of my grandmother's eldest sister-in-law's is working in the imperial palace. I heard that this princess is coming to our place to marry. Her name is, oh, her name is Tuoba Yun. I heard that this princess is also very beautiful. I just don't know who our emperor will choose to marry this princess."

"Every time this happens, I feel deeply moved by the wisdom of our Majesty. He has made great use of General Lu Li, which has allowed us to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Yes, yes." What followed was all compliments to the emperor.

Hua Yunyun naturally thought that Princess Tuoba Jun had been in love with Lu Li for a long time. Perhaps they could do something to alienate the relationship between the princess and Li Han. Even if it did not cause any substantial harm to Li Han and only caused her some frustration, she would be happy.

When Lu Li heard that the princess who was to be married off was Tuoba Jun, he told Li Han about Tuoba Jun's help to him: "Han'er, I have something to tell you about the princess who is to be married off to our country this time, Tuoba Jun."

"What? You know her. Is this another bad romance for you?" Li Han squinted at him.

"Of course not. Don't you understand how I feel about you? I just don't want you to misunderstand me. When I was in danger at the border, if it weren't for Princess Tuoba Yun, I might not be standing here talking to you. Moreover, she also helped us a lot when we were at war with the border. Although I am grateful for her help, I don't have any romantic feelings for her, so you have to believe me." Lu Li explained hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, of course I know." Although Li Han still felt depressed and inexplicably jealous after hearing him say this, but since he was Lu Li's savior, he decided to treat Tuoba Jun well.

"Since you are so honest, I will forgive you. Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, she went to Huayun Pavilion to study new products. Now the business of Huayun Pavilion is booming, but it can't always stick to the same old ways. She still needs to study some new dishes to add highlights.

Moreover, the envoys coming to the capital this time must be treated well, so why not serve them some new dishes? As for that princess, I will just deal with it as it comes, and let nature take its course. As long as she doesn't offend me, I will naturally welcome her with a smile.

Li Han did what he said. In the next few days, he spent every day at Huayun Pavilion researching new dishes. Kung Pao Chicken with rice was simply amazing, and there were also modern snacks such as stir-fried beef and spicy hot pot. He also developed milk tea, which made the staff of Huayun Pavilion look forward to Li Han coming to Huayun Pavilion every day.

Seeing Li Han was like a thirsty person seeing a source of water. Li Han felt a chill in her heart and a chill on her back. However, these aspects reflected how popular her dishes were, which gave her a little more confidence in preparing the food for the banquet.

Of course, she did not forget that there was a Hua Yunyun who wanted to cause trouble for her everywhere, so she made all these preparations secretly and did not tell anyone the list of dishes she had prepared just in case.

But it's impossible to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days, and finally Shen Lingli knew everything, so she planned to ruin Li Han's plan, making Li Han disgraced and leaving him unburied.

She contacted Hua Yunyun and said, "Miss Hua, I've heard that Li Han is in charge of the food for the banquet to welcome the envoys. She's been researching new things at Huayun Pavilion almost every day, intending to make a splash at the banquet for the envoys' arrival in Beijing. Although we haven't found out exactly what she's planning, we can't let her succeed again. We have to do something."

"So that's how it is. No wonder Lu Li hasn't been hanging out with her lately. So that's how it is. You're right! We can't let her be in the spotlight this time. What should we do?" Hua Yunyun pondered.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in her eyes. "If she knew that this princess was her rival in love, and something happened to her after eating Li Han's food, that would be a crime of undermining the peace between the two countries. Who would be able to protect her?"

"You're right. I'll see what else she can do this time. However, if she prepared the food for the banquet herself, then she will definitely attach great importance to it. How can we start?"

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Hua Yunyun said complacently.

"What can you do?"

"You'll know when the time comes, but I hope Miss Shen will watch your mouth and not let anything slip." Hua Yunyun glared at her. If it weren't for framing Li Han, she wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with Shen Lingli. Did she really think she was still a rich girl? Even at this point, she still couldn't recognize her own identity.

Hua Yunyun left with this thought. Shen Lingli looked at her and said with gritted teeth, "Bitch, you are just someone else's dog. What's so great about you? One day I will trample all of you under my feet. Let's wait and see."

Tuoba Jun, who was far away on the border, was very excited when she heard that she would be traveling to the Kingdom of Li as a princess for marriage. She was finally going to see Lu Li again. "That's great, Lu Li. I wonder if you still remember me after not seeing me for a few years." She was also very curious about Li Han. She looked at her confidant and said, "What is so special about this Princess Li Han that she can melt the iceberg of Lu Li? Even when I was with him, I never saw him smile. This eldest princess of the Kingdom of Li actually won his favor. I think she must be a wonderful person. I can't wait to meet her."

"Princess, aren't you angry? It's obvious that you and General Lu Li have known each other earlier. I can see your affection for him. Now that he is in love with another woman, aren't you worried?" The confidant spoke up for Tuoba Yun.

"What do you know? Love doesn't distinguish between first come first served. Just because I have him in my heart doesn't mean he has to like me. Besides, love is a matter between two people. If it's just my wishful thinking, even if I ask the Emperor of Li to grant us a marriage, I think he will be unhappy. Sometimes loving him doesn't necessarily mean you have to get him. As long as he is happy, that's enough. After all, I'm not the kind of person who takes away someone's love. Don't say such things again in the future." Tuoba Jun said so. Princess Tuoba Jun has a free and easy personality, generous and cheerful.

"Okay, I understand." The confidant replied.
