Chapter 1674: Pushing Your Luck
Did she really have such a decision?
Ye Jingyun gritted her teeth.
The princess’s coronation had yet to be held and she was already thinking of passing the throne to her?
1
Her eyes were filled with malice as she frowned in deep thought. A moment later, her eyes widened and she looked up at Queen Yulia.
Could it be…
Mother wanted to use the coronation ceremony to pass the throne to Shen Fanxing?
Shen Fanxing stood beside Queen Yulia, observing Ye Jingyun’s expression.
Her lips curled into a faint smile.
“Okay, I understand,” replied Shen Fanxing gently.
Queen Yulia smiled in satisfaction.
…
“The Grand Duke of Burgundy is the highest-ranking duke in Country Y. When the time comes, talk to him more. I’m sure he’ll be happy to tell you some things. However, the Grand Duke has been an important minister in Country Y for generations. When the time comes, pay more attention to your attitude and don’t neglect him.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll be careful.”
“Yes, that’s settled.”
From the beginning to the end, Ye Jingyun and Bei Lei and Bei Xi stood at the side, not receiving any attention....
Bailey’s mouth turned ashen.
When Ye Jingyun wasn’t paying attention, Bei Xi rushed forward and shouted indignantly.
“Grandma, what about us? My sister was the one who went there in the past. Why are you only asking her to go now? What kind of place is the Grand Duke of Burgundy’s mansion? Someone like her doesn’t know anything. It’s fine if she makes him unhappy, but she might even embarrass herself. Can our royal family afford to lose face?”
When Ye Jingyun reacted, she couldn’t stop Bei Xi. Her face turned pale.
This incompetent fool!
Queen Yulia’s face darkened.
She looked at Bei Xi sternly and gloomily.
“Do you think you’ve embarrassed yourself enough?”
“I…”
Bei Xi’s face turned pale. Only then did she notice that Queen Yulia’s expression wasn’t good.
She shrank her neck and instinctively moved back.
Ever since the state banquet, Grandma’s attitude towards her had dropped drastically.
How embarrassing…
After the incident at the state banquet and being slapped by Shen Fanxing, it was embarrassing…
Even when she thought of the state banquet, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
“But… but why can you only let Shen Fanxing go alone? She’s just a wild girl from outside. What right does she have to represent the royal family to attend the grand duke’s granddaughter’s birthday party?”
“On what basis? On the basis that she’s my granddaughter! Tell me, on what basis?! I think you’re just used to living a luxurious life. Do you not know your place now?!”

Queen Yulia rarely lost her temper, and she usually remained calm when discussing serious matters.
From his current appearance, one could tell how angry he was.
“But Grandma, aren’t you being too biased? All these years, we’ve grown up by your side and we’ve done our best to be filial to you. What did Shen Fanxing do? Why are you so biased? What position do you place us in? Aren’t you afraid of hurting our hearts?”

“You…”
Queen Yulia’s face froze and she couldn’t speak.
Bei Xi had been pampered all these years. She had heard of many arrogant things, but she was someone who could be seen through easily. She didn’t have any deep thoughts.
She didn’t know how to control her emotions and her blunt words often made people unhappy. However, it was precisely because of this that her eyes were red and her indignant words didn’t allow others to think too much.
She was undoubtedly unhappy that she was biased towards Fanxing.
After all, she was the granddaughter she had watched grow up. Her accusation made her feel even more guilty.
But in terms of guilt, she felt even more guilty towards Fanxing and her daughter.
“How long have you been in the royal family? What kind of life have I given you? How long has Fanxing been in the royal family? I’ve just given her something good, and you’re already so jealous. In the future, won’t I have to dote on you? If I give my biological grandson something, will I have to act according to your wishes?”
She’s a wild girl who doesn’t deserve this or that? You’re the high and mighty princesses? Great, how great…”
Queen Yulia’s words were so harsh that Ye Jingyun’s heart almost stopped.
At the end of the day, she was the adopted daughter that the queen had brought back from outside. Saying these words now was simply sending herself to remind the queen who had given her her current status and wealth.
At this moment, this identity was simply too sensitive.
In the eyes of her biological mother, her real daughter was incomparable to her.

Seeing Queen Yulia’s increasingly furious expression, Ye Jingyun hurriedly said,
“Mother, Bei Xi is insensible and outspoken. Don’t take her words to heart. She’s just not used to it… Fanxing, you… don’t hold it against her…”
Shen Fanxing had noticed Queen Yulia’s reaction to Bei Xi’s words.
However, she understood that Ye Jingyun and Bei Lei had been by her side all these years. This relationship could not be eradicated.
She and her mother had missed too much.
But…
“Don’t mind?” asked Shen Fanxing slowly as her gaze landed on Ye Jingyun’s face.
“When have I ever been calculative with her? But no matter how magnanimous I am, I can’t tolerate her finding trouble with me every day. She’s right. Compared to you who grew up in the royal family and were born with a golden spoon in your mouths, I’m indeed a wild girl.”
Seeing Shen Fanxing admit it, Bei Xi couldn’t help but remark unhappily, “At least you know your place.”
Shen Fanxing sneered and said, “If Madam Ye has some self-awareness, you should take good care of your daughter! Otherwise… why would I become the wild girl your daughter mentioned? And why did your daughter enjoy the treatment of a noble princess the moment she was born? Our lives are reversed. I don’t mind having a good chat with you or Grandma!”
Ye Jingyun’s expression changed and her body trembled.
She looked up at Queen Yulia. After the banquet ended, she had cried to her and admitted her mistake.
Although her mother didn’t say that she wouldn’t forgive her, she still hated her.
“You’re right. Bei Xi said something wrong today. I apologize on her behalf.”
“A mistake is a mistake. I never forgive anyone.”
Shen Fanxing said bluntly, embarrassing Ye Jingyun.
“You… you’re too arrogant. You’ve only been back to the palace for a few days and you’re already so arrogant…”
