Ye Jingyun’s hands trembled uncontrollably. She didn’t react when she saw Bei Xi staggering to the ground.
Her heart was filled with anger, and it contracted even more violently.
Not for anything else.
Because of Bei Xi’s mention of her mother, it was as if a time bomb had been ignited in her heart!
How could she mention Ji Fengmian here?
How could he?!
She had avoided someone she didn’t want to face her entire life. She had been careful not to let her mother know about her existence.
She didn’t even dare to mention that person, but she almost exposed the secret that she had hidden for nearly 40 years.
What did she want?
She complained to the Queen and asked her to support her?
‘And?’
There was no need to beat around the bush to find out about Ji Fengmian and Shen Fanxing.
How should she face that lie back then?
She clearly knew that the Queen had missed her biological daughter for her entire life. She clearly knew that Ji Fengmian was alive and well, but she told her that she was already dead and had hidden the truth from her for half her life. If the truth was revealed, how should she explain to the Queen?
Wouldn’t her identity as a princess god and everything she had now be for naught?
She couldn’t mention Ji Fengmian!
Especially not in front of the Queen!
That damn fool!
How did she give birth to such an incompetent fool!?
Queen Yulia was shocked by Ye Jingyun’s sudden action and easily saw her anger and panic.
She tilted her head slightly and narrowed her eyes at Ye Jingyun.
“Ava, are you nervous?”
After easily exposing Ye Jingyun’s current situation, Ye Jingyun’s eyes flashed uncontrollably.
Her body swayed and her lips trembled. Her mouth was dry.
“No…”
“Why are you nervous?” Queen Yulia asked in a low voice.
Ye Jingyun’s legs trembled under her long dress and she almost lost her balance. She made a swallowing motion and her throat was so dry that it was almost torn.
“Mom, I didn’t… Bei Xi… ran to Ping Cheng without telling me and caused quite a commotion. I was afraid that you would be angry… At this time, she added fuel to the fire…”
She found a more reasonable reason for herself. Although she spoke intermittently, she should have expressed herself clearly.
Queen Yulia looked at her quietly. Ye Jingyun didn’t dare to raise her head to meet her eyes. She lowered her head slightly, her entire body still trembling nervously, especially when she saw the gaze of Queen Yulia above her.
Bei Xi’s cries were especially piercing in the room.
Queen Yulia finally retracted her gaze and looked at Bexi.
“…No matter what, we’re at the critical juncture of the state banquet. Nothing can go wrong! What is the royal princess trying to express by showing off in front of so many teachers? Do you know the consequences if those teachers don’t appear at the state banquet? The entire royal family of Country Y will be the joke of the world! Bei Xi, even if you’re brainless, can’t you think of these basic things? Don’t you know such an important thing?!”
Bei Xi sobbed. She had long known that she had caused trouble today and had been taught a lesson by Bei Lei. Now, she had been slapped by her mother and had to face her grandmother’s accusations. However, despite all the dirty work she had done today, no one could comfort her or understand her!
At this moment, there was only dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart.
Queen Yulia looked at her expression and understood her attitude clearly.
“You’re so reckless, arrogant and despotic. You don’t know how to differentiate between what’s important and what’s not. You don’t know how to repent! You have to be grounded for a month! Learn all the morals and etiquette again!”
When Bei Xi heard that, she suddenly looked up at her. “I don’t want Grandma. I want to attend the state banquet…”
“You don’t understand what I’m saying?”
Ye Jingyun hurriedly said, “She can’t resist. I’ll get someone to bring her back!”
Queen Yulia didn’t mention what happened just now. She couldn’t ask for more.
This was to prevent Bei Xi from making any more mistakes in the future.
“Wait a minute.”
Ye Jingyun had just gone forward to pull Bei Xi up when Queen Yulia’s voice sounded again.
Looking up, Queen Yulia turned to look at Leah and said, “Get someone to invite that… Madam Bo over. Get Bei Xi to apologize to her first…”
Ye Jingyun tightened her grip on Bei Xi’s arm.
“I don’t want to!” Bei Xi shouted.
Queen Yulia frowned, but Leah looked down at the time and said,
“The state banquet is about to start. You should get going.”
Queen Yulia glanced at the time and nodded. “Bring her back first!”
Bei Xi’s eyes flashed with unwillingness.
But she was still dragged out by Ye Jingyun!
Ten minutes later, Ye Jingyun pushed Bei Xi into the car, but Bei Xi pushed her away forcefully.
“Bei Xi!”
“You hit me! I hate you! Why should I apologize to that woman? Isn’t it just an invitation to play a lousy piano on stage? I know how to play it too! I want to see! Can she play a flower?!”
With that, she lifted her skirt and ran away.
Ye Jingyun’s mind went blank. It was impossible to catch her again!
“Bei Xi!”
“…”
Their car was parked at the side entrance. Not far away was the main entrance of the state banquet.
She didn’t dare to say anything and could only chase after Bei Xi.

The scale of the state banquet was naturally unprecedentedly grand.
The guests were all foreign dignitaries from various countries. There were also top international elites, including representatives of important enterprises and economic pillars of each country.
In order to facilitate this international banquet, Country Y had spent a huge sum of money to renovate the current state banquet manor.
In the retro and gorgeous Ou family palace, the green plants covered an extremely large area. There were all kinds of fountains and wishing ponds. There were pavilions and corridors everywhere. Every part of the palace was engraved with lifelike carvings, carved cages, and calligraphy. The lights were dazzling, and the entire banquet manor was magnificent and majestic.
The long red carpet covered the entire hall. A guest in a luxurious car alighted and walked into the hall.
There was a bright chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Although it was already dark outside, the banquet hall was as bright as day. The light from the chandelier shone on everyone, making them look even more elegant.
When all the guests had arrived at the banquet hall, the waiters carefully led the dignitaries to their seats. Only then did Queen Yulia slowly appear.
She had already changed her clothes. She was wearing a champagne-gold gown with expensive red agate on her chest. A golden queen’s crown was studded with diamonds and a few blue deep-sea gems.
Such a grand outfit also fully expressed her respect for the state banquet and the guests.
All the guests stood up when they saw the queen, expressing their respect.
Queen Yulia took her seat and smiled at everyone.
