This was the first time the Northern Territory had opened up to a challenge. The Northern Territory's Crown Prince calmly said, "I'm sure the Regent Princess of Murong must be proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If that's the case, let's start with chess!"

However, what Shangguan Qing did not expect was that the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory actually took action himself.

Murong Bai's face showed worry. He whispered to Shangguan Qing, "Qing'er, I will deal with this together with you. This Northern Territory Crown Prince is a chess genius. No one in the entire Northern Territory has ever been able to defeat him."

Shangguan Qing shook his head slightly, leaned close to Murong Bai's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, those three are geniuses among geniuses. I won't lose."

Murong Bai looked at Shangguan Qing's confident expression and his mood gradually calmed down.

Shangguan Qing looked around and shouted, "To save everyone's time, why don't everyone who's interested in competing come together?"

When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Some ministers of Murong State began to criticize Shangguan Qing: "How can this Regent Princess be so arrogant!"

Everyone in the court was shocked.

Someone couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, the Regent Princess... after all, she is just a woman, how can she represent the Murong Kingdom? I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not respond.

At this time, the ministers beside him also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, won't other countries laugh at us?"

The emperor sneered and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, my dear ministers. I have full confidence in the Regent and believe he will treat this matter with great care. If anything goes wrong, I'm sure the Regent will give you a satisfactory explanation."

However, everyone knew that the emperor's mind was no longer on the honor of the country at this moment. He only wanted to embarrass the Regent's Palace and use this to suppress the Regent's Palace.

At this moment, Murong Bai stood up and sneered, "Royal brother, you'd better prepare to abdicate. My princess is very talented and will never lose."

Murong Hui knew that he had been abandoned by the emperor and could not inherit the throne in a legitimate way, so he placed all his hopes on Murong Bai.

He clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice, "Father, do you hope that the Regent Princess will lose this competition? As the king of a country, you should support the Regent Princess for the glory of Murong State. Moreover, even if you abdicate, your son and I will definitely make Murong State even stronger!"

The emperor looked at Murong Hui with cold eyes, his tone full of sarcasm: "You are really my good son!"

The Northern Territory Crown Prince sneered and said in a low, mocking voice, "It seems the Murong Kingdom isn't as invincible as the rumors say. Hahahaha..."

Murong Bai raised his head, looked at the other party with a determined gaze, and said loudly: "Even so, as long as I am here, no one can run rampant in Murong Country!"

The Northern Territory's Crown Prince raised his head slightly, a faint smile on his face. "Let the competition begin. This Crown Prince can represent the entire Northern Territory! However, this Crown Prince has a small request, and I hope the Regent can agree to it!"

Murong Bai's eyes instantly turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you granting me a marriage?"

The Northern Territory Crown Prince smiled and nodded, a cunning glint in his eyes. "Yes, this Crown Prince has a crush on a woman. I would like to ask the Regent to help me when the time comes."

Murong Bai's face instantly turned extremely cold, as if he could eat someone.

Shangguan Qing, however, smiled gently, took Murong Bai's hand, and said to the Northern Territory Crown Prince, "Don't worry, if I lose, I'll listen to you, and if you lose, you'll listen to me!"

The Northern Territory Crown Prince laughed heartily. "Okay, Princess, you are truly generous. I like your words very much. I will do as you say."

Murong Bai nervously grabbed Shangguan Qing's hand, refusing to let go. Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "Murong Bai, don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Soon, an exquisite chess table was placed in the center of the spacious hall.

Shangguan Qing and the Northern Territory Prince sat opposite each other, both of them staring at the chessboard. A fierce chess game was about to begin.

Shangguan Qing looked calm. With the help of the three, he didn't need to think for himself at all.

The Crown Prince of the Northern Territory was also very relaxed at the beginning, but as time went on, he seemed a little nervous, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

He really didn't expect Shangguan Qing to be so relaxed.

As the game progressed, Shangguan Qing gradually gained the upper hand.

She skillfully used the chess pieces according to the instructions of the three, and made a rigorous layout, putting the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory in a difficult situation.

The Crown Prince of the Northern Territory tried hard to deal with it, but he was no match for the three major forces. Every step was difficult for the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory.

At the critical moment, Shangguan Qing used the robot's three ultimate moves.

Her chess pieces moved as accurately as robots, making it impossible for the Northern Territory Crown Prince to defend himself.

In the end, Shangguan Qing defeated the Prince of the Northern Territory with three ingenious strategies.

Everyone looked at Shangguan Qing with admiration again!

Wang Bingbing couldn't believe her eyes. She kept shaking her head and muttering to herself, "Impossible, impossible, how could you be that fool?"

At this moment, Shangguan Qing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and he said softly, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants a marriage, then isn't our beautiful and intelligent Miss Wang the most suitable candidate? Let her go to the Northern Territory to marry!"

Hearing this, Wang Bingbing's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't accept this fact and quickly retorted, "Shangguan Qing, what qualifications do you have for me to marry?"

Murong Bai's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold tone, "What if this is my decision?"

Everyone was silent, even the emperor sitting on the throne did not say a word, obviously agreeing to this arrangement.

Wang Bingbing was extremely anxious. She knew that if she was really sent to the Northern Territory, it would mean endless suffering and torture.

So, desperately, she knelt before Concubine Liang, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged bitterly, "Aunt, please save me! I don't want to go to the bitter cold land of the Northern Territory!"

However, the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in his smile, but rather a hint of indifference and ruthlessness.

He said slowly, "Bingbing, this name complements the Northern Territory perfectly. Why not just leave it as it is?"

Concubine Liang sighed helplessly and said to Wang Bingbing, "Bingbing, I have tried my best. I only blame you for not listening to my advice and insisting on offending the Regent. Now, everything is too late..."

Wang Bingbing cried out at the top of her lungs, "No, I don't want to, I don't want to go to the Northern Territory, Shangguan Qing, I won't let you go!"

Shangguan Qing smiled lightly, with a hint of indifference in his eyes: "It's a pity that Bingbing, you have no chance, but you are much better than the others."

She waved her hand, signaling her men to take Wang Bingbing away.

Wang Bingbing was taken away. Murong Bai looked at Shangguan Qing with a gentle smile and said softly, "It can be considered a perfect ending."
