Chapter 1423: Disgust Country Y’s banquet hall. After the dishes and drinks, The performances ended one after another. The delicious food and the top-notch art banquet showed the importance and hospitality of Country Y. Bei Lei and Bei Xi had been sitting obediently on both sides of Queen Yulia. From time to time, they would pick up some food for her with their chopsticks. Nothing happened. On the huge stage, the performance consisting of dozens of people was coming to an end. Everyone was still immersed in it. The music played by the ensemble was grand and magnificent. It had the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, and also the determination to die. After the song ended, a round of applause erupted in the banquet hall. “As expected of a top-notch ensemble. Even someone like me who doesn’t know music has been brought in!” “Yes, the response to their world tour back then was very good.” “You indeed live up to your reputation.” Queen Yulia nodded happily. She was very satisfied with the arrangement tonight. Bei Xi was confused by the traditional music. She had no idea what they were trying to express. That voice sounded like something was pounding on her eardrums, making her head spin. On the other hand, Bailey was full of admiration and praise. She whispered to Queen Yulia, “It’s really nice, isn’t it, Grandma? I’ve been to the scene of their world tour a few years ago.” Compared to the mess that Bei Xi had caused today, Queen Yulia was more satisfied with Bei Lei. He smiled and nodded at her. “Not bad indeed. This is all thanks to you. You spent so much effort to invite them over.” Bailey smiled and said, “Although they’re not bad, being able to attend the state banquet will add glory to their resume. It didn’t take much effort to officially invite them.” Although her words sounded nice, her words revealed a sense of superiority. Queen Yulia glanced at her indifferently. Although she was smiling, the smile in her eyes faded. All these years, she had never been biased towards her two granddaughters, including Ava. She had given them everything she could. Kinship, family, a rich life, and a noble status. She had brought Ava back because she had once been the closest person to her daughter. She had given them almost all her love and regret for Phoneix. She had treated them well. Despite her nephew’s objections, she had betrothed Ava to him. Furthermore, because of her nephew’s coldness towards them, he had spoiled them. If possible, she didn’t mind staying like this. However, the trouble that Bei Xi had caused today made her feel conflicted. She was thinking that if it was her real granddaughter, she would be of royal blood. Would she be so arrogant and cause such low-level mistakes? Surely not. She believed. Her Phoenix had been outstanding and sensible since she was young. How could she have raised her children to be like this? Her royal bloodline would not allow such a stupid person to appear. Not to mention… How important and proud was she to be a princess of the royal family? She wouldn’t have such an obvious sense of superiority. “Mommy, when I grow up, I must travel the world. I don’t want to be a frog in a well. I want to bring back all the beautiful scenery outside for you to see. I will also tell you many interesting and sad things.” I still have to find a prince who truly loves me and bring him back for you to see. Mommy, will you like the prince I brought back? Although there’s a high chance that my prince is a very ordinary man, will you like him?” She remembered that she had nodded. Because she understood her daughter, and her daughter understood her. They didn’t like being trapped in this city. On the outside, they looked bright and gorgeous, noble and respected by everyone. But to them, that was not the case. She also wanted to go out and see the colorful world outside. She wanted to have fun and let herself go. However, that was not the case. That was because they were born in the royal family and carried a heavy burden. They had never taken pride in being in the royal family. If possible, they all wanted an ordinary life. However, Ava, Bei Lei, and Bei Xi clearly took the royal family too seriously. They were not his family after all… She didn’t know why, but she’d been thinking of Phoenix too often lately. Could it be that the burden she had hidden for her entire life was finally going to be overwhelmed? Yes, she missed her daughter too much… – The next program should be Shen Fanxing. When the curtains were pulled up, Shen Fanxing stood backstage and saw a piano decorated with crystals. The light from the chandelier shone brightly on Jean. She frowned. She remembered that she didn’t use the same piano just now. At the very least, there wasn’t that layer of crystal that made people unable to open their eyes. The crystals on the piano could not be pasted all over the piano in just a few minutes. She could only say that she had changed her piano at the last minute. But even if it was to maintain the reputation of the state banquet, he had to tell her in advance, right? When everyone left the stage one after another, the host passed by her. When he saw her, he only smiled politely. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 Then, Shen Fanxing saw him standing on stage with a bright voice. “Next, it’s an absolute surprise… Let’s welcome the most noble and elegant Princess Bailey of the royal family of Country Y to perform a piano solo for her beloved queen.” The moment he said that, there was a round of applause. Shen Fanxing’s face turned cold as she looked at the crystal piano. Everything seemed to have a perfect explanation. After a while, her lips curled up coldly. She had thought that this Princess Bailey would be well-behaved. At the very least, in order to maintain her high and mighty princess style, she wouldn’t do anything. But it turned out that she was waiting for her silently. Ha. Queen Yulia’s expression did not change much from the applause. In fact, when she heard the so-called most doted and noble words, anger lingered in her heart. She admitted that Bailey was smarter than Bei Xi. However, playing tricks in front of her disgusted her. ###### I
