“So she’s that…” Queen Yulia’s gaze was locked on the tall and slender figure on the stage.

Her heart tightened inexplicably.

He didn’t want to look away from her.

A strong sense of familiarity made her tense up.

Looking at her age, she was clearly not her Phoneix.

Her features were clearly far different from the iPhoneix in her memory.

But why did she feel that she could see the charm of Phoneix in her eyes?

Her natural aura made her heart palpitate.

Why did she always want to hug him?

Yulia’s eyes were filled with desire and passion.

Could it be because this girl was too attractive?

That’s right. Otherwise, how could she attract a man like Mr. Bo?

Was it her imagination?

Perhaps it was because this girl wanted him to be close to her…

–

Ever since Shen Fanxing appeared, Queen Yulia’s aura had changed drastically.

Bailey was already sensitive to the first meeting between Queen Yulia and Shen Fanxing. Seeing Queen Yulia’s current state, she became nervous.

She glanced at the people on stage.

The two of them were so far apart and when they first met, they hadn’t said a word to each other. Why did Grandma have such a huge reaction?

Could it be that blood ties would lead the two of them together step by step?

No, how was that possible?

They didn’t look alike.

Gritting her teeth, she glanced at Bei Xi, who was glaring at Shen Fanxing. She pursed her lips and said softly,

“Does Grandma know about Miss Shen?”

Bei Xi caught the mention of Shen Fanxing and snorted.

“Who is she? How is she worthy of Grandma knowing? Grandma is busy every day. How would she have the time to pay attention to a nobody?”

Bei Lei cast a reproachful look at Bei Xi and said, “It’s not the time for you to throw a tantrum. Instead of thinking about other people’s faults, why don’t you think about their merits? So many companies are thriving in her hands, and she’s the internationally renowned chief perfumer who has won three consecutive years. Now, she’s even invited to perform at a state banquet…”

Bei Xi rolled her eyes and said impatiently,

“You’re boosting other people’s morale and undermining your own! Isn’t it just playing the piano? Are you worse than her? The arrangement of this program isn’t reasonable at all. Why did you arrange the two piano programs together? Aren’t you afraid that others will be annoyed?”

Bei Xi’s voice was not low and the surrounding guests heard her.

“Bei Xi!” Bei Lei shouted in a low voice. She looked at her disapprovingly and shook her head secretly.

“What are you shouting for? Am I wrong? The program is repeated! You’ve already played a Chinese-style song just now. She’s from Country Z, so she must have played it with national characteristics, right? It’s all piano programs, and now it’s all Chinese-style. I find it annoying!”

Queen Yulia sat in the middle with an ugly expression.

Seeing the gazes of the people around her, she felt awkward and embarrassed.

“Little Princess, be careful with your words!”

Sensing the sudden change in Queen Yulia’s aura, Leah couldn’t help but nudge Bei Xi.

“Be careful with my words? I’m being careful with my words. There are so many distinguished guests here, of course I’ll give them the best treatment. This program arrangement…”

“Bei Xi! If you say another word, get out of here!”

Queen Yulia’s voice was low, but there was unprecedented anger in it. Especially the word “get lost”, which made Bei Xi shrink his neck.

“Grandma…”

“Bei Xi!” Bei Lei suddenly shouted in a low voice, “Who do you think is embarrassed by the wrong state banquet?”

Bei Xi was stunned and her face turned pale. When she saw Queen Yulia’s face, she panicked.

However, Bei Xi’s words still affected the others.

Although no one said anything, everyone looked uninterested.

A reporter couldn’t help but whisper—

“Indeed, the two programs don’t feel too comfortable together.”

“Yes, it’s fine if they’re separated. At the very least, we should change the order. Princess Bailey’s performance just now was pleasing to the eye. Now this…”

“The pair is indeed a little shabby…”

A hint of smugness appeared in Bei Lei’s eyes.

In any case, Bei Xi would be punished sooner or later. It didn’t matter if it happened again.

How could she suppress Shen Fanxing and make her suffer in this state banquet? She could only think about other things.

Otherwise, she would feel embarrassed and never step into this place that was full of her black marks.

If she deliberately inserted it in front of her show, not only would the show overlap, but with her preconceived notions, the guests would definitely feel tired of the piano she played.

She didn’t have an advantage in hearing. Coupled with her crystal-inlaid piano, her ordinary piano couldn’t compare to her.

The overall effect of her program had decreased, so her trip to the state banquet would definitely be a joke.

With a few embellishments, the news spread all over the world.

If she wanted to lose face, she would embarrass her to the world.

Compared to Yuan Sichun, who couldn’t move her no matter how hard she tried, Shen Fanxing’s small action had embarrassed Shen Fanxing and let the world know that she was the most noble princess in Country Y.

It was the best of both worlds!

Pursing her lips, she looked up at Shen Fanxing and felt much better.

Shen Fanxing stood in front of the piano and bowed before taking a seat.

Out of politeness, the guests below the stage looked at her silently.

The light shone on her body, her elegant sitting posture, her exquisite side profile, her fair skin, and the faint aura that flowed from her body, causing the guests who had felt a little impetuous because of Bei Xi’s words to slowly calm down.

Looking at the beautiful woman on stage, Bei Xi felt disdain.

“Tsk… what’s the big deal?”

Even the most patient person would be annoyed by Bei Xi.

Queen Yulia glanced at the guests who were focused on the stage and stood up slowly.

“Your Majesty…” Leah rushed forward.

“I’m going to rest first. My head hurts!”

“Yes!” replied Leah hurriedly. She went forward to support her, but Bailey stood up first.

“Let me do it.”

With that, she held Queen Yulia’s arm.

Queen Yulia couldn’t be bothered to split the guests. With Bailey’s help, she left her seat.

However, before she could take two steps, the entire banquet hall was filled with melodious music.

Queen Yulia stopped with her hand on her forehead and froze on the spot.

Bailey was puzzled. “Grandma, why…”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the person she was supporting trembling visibly.

Voices kept coming into her ears.

Notes, rhythm, melody, sound…

Queen Yulia turned around slowly and looked at the figure sitting quietly on the stage. Her pupils constricted and her lips trembled uncontrollably…
