Although Lin Zan likes beauties, she does not like beauties who are malicious towards her. So when she saw Princess Yingduo glaring at her, she felt dissatisfied.

He clearly came here to marry a princess, but he still created all these difficulties to embarrass Northern Qi. He really can't tell the difference between a big king and a small king.

The second riddle was also brought up. It was a square object divided into many grids, and each grid was painted with a different color.

"As long as you turn all the same colors to one side, you can open this square box and take out the object inside. I wonder which of the two princes will try it first?"

Princess Yingduo said it again, and Lin Zhan also saw the square object, which was clearly a modern Rubik's Cube. He didn't expect that this foreign princess would use it as a puzzle.

Seeing that it was another brain-intensive task, Jun Anqing completely lost interest. However, his eyes rolled around and he remembered what Lin Zhan had done just now. He picked up the Rubik's Cube and threw it directly to the ground.

When Princess Yingduo saw this, she couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh. But then she realized that the occasion was not right, and quickly said, "This is made of wood, it won't break when it falls."

After hearing what the princess said, Jun Anqing actually pulled out the knife of the guard next to him and wanted to chop at the Rubik's Cube.

Princess Yingduo said quickly. "If you use brute force to destroy it, it won't count. Fourth Prince, don't try it."

This sentence made Jun Anqing's face look ugly, and the emperor also scolded him, telling him to stop messing around and step back.

So the Rubik's Cube was handed to Jun Beiyu, and Princess Yingduo turned her attention to Jun Beiqi, wanting him to try it as well.

Princess Yingduo even looked at Linzhan provocatively. "If this little girl has the same wonderful ideas as before, she might as well give it a try."

In modern times, Lin Zan was not interested in things like the Rubik's Cube, so he naturally would not try it at this moment to avoid embarrassment, so he set his eyes on Jun Beiyu.

What was somewhat surprising was that Jun Beiyu actually had some talent for the Rubik's Cube. He completed it in a short while. When he opened the box, there was a ring inside.

When she saw the ring, Princess Yingduo's eyes lit up, and then she slowly walked down the stairs, walked in front of Jun Beiyu, and stretched out her hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Jun Beiyu put the ring on the princess's hand. This scene seemed like a modern proposal, Lin Zhan thought to himself.

"Now there is only this last puzzle left, but this last one is not really a puzzle. It is a treasure that benefits the people of our Nanzhao Kingdom. It is given to the Emperor of Northern Qi as a token of sincerity for the marriage."

Princess Yingduo finally stopped causing trouble and clapped her hands gently. The envoy from Nanzhao Kingdom then handed the tray in his hand to the eunuch beside the emperor.

The chief eunuch walked slowly to the emperor's side, and the emperor lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing a small box that looked very delicate.

Inside the box was a black paste that didn't smell like anything. A hint of doubt flashed across the emperor's eyes.

Princess Yingduo immediately explained, "This ointment is called Black Jade Dream Ointment. Taking it can prolong life and allow people to fall into paradise."

Such words instantly piqued the emperor's interest, but Empress Liu Qiuchan reminded him, "Your Majesty, the candidate for the marriage has not yet been decided."

This made the emperor temporarily give up the intention of taking the ointment. He nodded slightly and asked the eunuch to take the ointment first.

Afterwards, the banquet continued, and Princess Yingduo even danced to liven up the party. Her enchanting dance moves made everyone intoxicated.

Even Concubine Qin, who had always won favor with her dancing skills, couldn't help but feel a sense of danger when watching Princess Yingduo's dance.

After the banquet ended, Lin Zan left the banquet and learned that Jun Beiyu and Jun Anqing had been taken into the imperial study by the emperor, presumably to discuss the marriage.

After knowing that the marriage had nothing to do with Jun Beiqi, Lin Zan no longer cared about it and followed Liu Qiuchan back to the palace for a free meal.

"You are not young anymore, but why are you still so heartless and don't even consider your own life-long affairs?" Liu Qiuchan couldn't help but sigh when she saw Lin Zan eating happily.

Lin Zhan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it good for me to stay with my sister and take care of her if I never get married?"

"Nonsense! How can a girl stay single for her entire life? Don't say such nonsense again in the future, or you will ruin your own blessings." Liu Qiuchan said seriously and solemnly.

Lin Zhan knew that there was no way they could understand his thoughts, so he didn't say anything more.

However, after the banquet, Princess Yingduo did not stay in her palace. Instead, she changed her clothes and quietly slipped out of the palace.

He even sneaked out of the palace in the envoy's convoy and came to Jun Beiqi's mansion.

Princess Yingduo smiled ghostly, then entered Jun Beiqi's mansion and met Jun Beiqi smoothly.

"Princess, what do you want to see me about?" Jun Beiqi stood there with a stern expression.

Princess Yingduo smiled coquettishly, then took off her coat, revealing her exquisite figure. "I'm here to make a deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh, I'd like to hear the details." Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to hear what the princess in front of him wanted to do.

Princess Yingduo walked slowly to Jun Beiqi, gently hooked the jade belt around his waist and rubbed it, with a hint of lust. "As long as the Crown Prince marries me, all the power of Nanzhao will be used by the Crown Prince to clear the obstacles in his way. I wish the Crown Prince a smooth ascension to the throne."

As she spoke, she had already completely stuck to Jun Beiqi's body, as charming and strange as a boneless snake.

But Jun Beiqi didn't buy it at all, he pushed her away with one hand, and then said coldly, "Do you think I will need you?"

"Why not? I am the princess of Nanzhao. Instead of leaving me to others to be enemies of the prince, why don't you take me in and use me for your own benefit?"

Princess Yingduo’s words were very clear: whether she married Jun Beiyu or Jun Anqing, she would become an obstacle for Jun Beiqi to ascend the throne.

If we can't be partners, we can only be enemies.

But such low-level threats had no effect on Jun Beiqi. He just smiled coldly, and several secret guards appeared in the study.

"Send the princess back." After Jun Beiqi finished speaking, the few people who comforted her took Princess Yingduo, who had not yet come to her senses, out.

Jun Beiqi was not tempted by Princess Yingduo's proposal.
