Chapter 1742: The Second Thing

After drinking some water, the makeup artist helped Shen Fanxing.

She was given time to rest.

Queen Yulia had repeatedly confirmed all the procedures outside. It was enough to show how much she valued this coronation.

Ji Fengmian and Shen Fanxing were resting in the lounge.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Shen Fanxing looked at herself in the mirror with an indifferent expression.

It seemed like this coronation was just a formality for her. She was just completing her mission.

After the mission was completed, she was still her. Nothing had changed.

Ji Fengmian frowned at her. “What do you plan to do after the coronation?”

Shen Fanxing looked at Ji Fengmian in the mirror and said calmly,

“Return to the country and settle the company’s matters. Then, stay at home and await delivery.”

Ji Fengmian frowned. “Have you forgotten that you have the title of a princess?”

“Princess, do you need to do anything?” Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “If you’re too busy, I can help you.”

Ji Fengmian’s face darkened.

Shen Fanxing looked at her quietly for a while before saying, “If you don’t want to do it, I don’t think Grandma will force you. In my opinion, the reason why she wants to give you the throne is probably… to make it up to you. Although the throne is difficult, Ye Jingyun and her daughter have coveted it for so long. Naturally, there’s a reason for it. At the very least… they have supreme authority.”

Ji Fengmian’s expression softened a little, but he still frowned.

Shen Fanxing stared at her for a long time before her lips curled into a smile.

“… If only…”

Just as she opened her mouth, her eyes flashed and she didn’t continue.

Ji Fengmian looked at her. “What do you want to say?”

Shen Fanxing fell silent for a while before saying slowly, “The reason why Grandma wants to compensate you with the throne is because she knows that you have the ability. You don’t have anything else to do now, right? Instead of idling around all day, it’s not too difficult for you to take over the position. I know that you’re never someone who can stay idle. Unless…”

Ji Fengmian looked up at her with a cold gaze.

“Unless you have a special reason…”

Shen Fanxing finished speaking quickly and smiled at Ji Fengmian.

Ji Fengmian stared at her for a while before sneering.

“What reason can I have?”

Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and stood up slowly. She adjusted her gown in front of the mirror and held the water droplet crystal diamond in front of her.

“Grandma has dedicated her entire life to this position. As the ruler of a country, there will naturally be too many restrictions. Especially… she won’t have the love that ordinary people yearn for. Although it’s a little serious, once she takes this position, it’s no different from breaking off all ties. Could it be that the ruler of a country wants to find himself a husband?”

Shen Fanxing’s smiling words made Ji Fengmian’s face darken.

After a long while, she snorted coldly and said, “…Are you itching for a beating? How dare you tease me like this? In your eyes, how much am I a playboy? Can’t I live without a man?”

Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.

“Since you’re not, I can only be overthinking. You shouldn’t have any other reason to reject this job, right?”

Ji Fengmian was silent for a while before he stood up slowly.

“But you’re right. Since your grandmother trusts me, I should be happy. The rest of my life is indeed good for me.”

Shen Fanxing looked at her quietly and nodded. “As long as you understand.”

After resting for a while, Queen Yulia opened the door and walked in.

Coming to Shen Fanxing’s side, he placed his hands on her shoulders and smiled. “Don’t press too hard. Don’t be nervous. If you’re tired, tell Grandma not to force yourself.”

Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “I know.”

Queen Yulia looked at Ji Fengmian and saw that her expression wasn’t good.

“Feng Mian, what’s wrong? Are you tired?”

Ji Fengmian shook his head. “No.”

“Yes, it’s almost time. Get ready. There are already many important figures waiting outside. We have to be careful for the last segment.”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll go and receive them first. You guys rest for a few minutes before coming out.”

Queen Yulia walked out as she spoke.

When Shen Fanxing and Ji Fengmian were ready to leave, Queen Yulia had already led them to the steps.

When he saw them, he waved at them lovingly.

The two of them walked over and Queen Yulia held their hands.

“These are all important leaders of various countries. I’ll introduce them to you in detail during dinner later. Let’s go up to the city gate first. Listen to the commotion outside…”

Through the thick walls of the palace, Shen Fanxing could hear the cheers outside. They were filled with hope and anticipation.

She pursed her lips and slowly stepped onto the steps of the city gate in silence.

A group of foreign envoys was politely led up the steps by the important ministers of Country Y.

From the moment Ji Fengmian left, he felt that something was amiss. His intuition told him that there was a low and dangerous aura following him.

However, in such a heavily guarded place and venue, she really couldn’t figure out where the danger came from.

When Queen Yulia, Ji Fengmian and Shen Fanxing appeared on the city wall, cheers erupted outside the city.

They cheered excitedly.

From afar, Shen Fanxing could only see the square that could accommodate ten thousand people.

Queen Yulia waved her hand and the audience responded.

“Thank you for your tolerance and recognition over the years. I’m extremely honored. Without all of you, I wouldn’t have been able to see the changes and improvements in Country Y. It’s all of you who have made me and the current Country Y. I, Yulia, will always be grateful to all of you! Today is a very important day, enough to be the most important day in my life. I selfishly hope to share my excitement and happiness with all of you!”

There was a pause in between the words, and the audience naturally shouted in response.

Yulia smiled and said,

“I’m sure everyone knows that the daughter who left me for many years has returned safely and even brought me a smart and kind grandson. I think there’s nothing in this world that can make me feel happier than this moment. Thank God for letting them return to me!”

“Today, I’m holding the coronation ceremony for my granddaughter. She has suffered a lot in the past, but from now on, I won’t let her suffer any harm from this world. I also want to use this opportunity to prove to anyone who has bullied her, insulted her, and looked down on her how stupid they are. From now on, even if I, Yulia, have nothing, I will do my best to give it to her. She will only be above everyone!”

“She is my most cherished and only grandson. Today, I will bestow the title of the only princess of Country Y on her!”

The audience cheered excitedly, expressing their understanding and support for Queen Yulia’s words.

As soon as Queen Yulia finished speaking, Leah walked up slowly.

She was holding a red velvet tray with a diamond crown on it.

Made of pure diamonds, the crown was surrounded by stars. In front of it was a larger star-shaped diamond.

It matched Shen Fanxing’s name perfectly.

Queen Yulia smiled and pulled Fanxing to her side. Shen Fanxing bent slightly and Queen Yulia raised her hand to remove the crown on her head.

The audience gradually quietened down. Everyone raised their heads and watched this scene quietly.

A true coronation.

This was definitely a historic moment.

She removed the crown and placed it on the side of the tray. Queen Yulia held the crown with both hands and placed it on Shen Fanxing’s head carefully and solemnly.

After fixing it, she looked at the crown and Shen Fanxing’s beautiful face and nodded in satisfaction.

Shen Fanxing smiled gently at her. Her smile was calm and composed, without any emotions. Her calm demeanor made Queen Eurea like her even more.

“I hope you can be the best you can be for the rest of your life. I hope you can be the happiest you can be. There will be no sadness, no tears, no bumps, no disasters. I hope you will always be God’s favorite.”

Shen Fanxing smiled and felt that this blessing was too perfect. How could life be as smooth-sailing as before? No one would be luckier and happier than her now.

However, she knew that this was her grandmother’s most sincere and greedy wish.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Queen Yulia hugged her lovingly and planted a kiss on her cheek.

“You deserve it.”

Shen Fanxing could only accept it.

The two of them separated and Queen Yulia took Shen Fanxing’s hand.

“Today, this is the only princess of Country Y.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the important ministers from other countries applauded to celebrate.

The audience erupted into cheers again!

“Princess Star!”

“Your Highness Star!”

The cheers below the stage lasted for a long time. Queen Yulia had given them enough time to celebrate the coronation.

After a long while, she raised her hand to signal for silence.

“I have another important announcement to make during today’s coronation!”

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing that there was another segment.

She had never heard of anything else today.

It was chaotic below the stage. Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and glanced at Ji Fengmian.

She was expressionless and her face was cold. Her lips were pursed as she stood rooted to the ground.

She turned her face away silently.

Queen Yulia turned to look at Ji Fengmian and smiled.

“Actually, all of you should already know this news. I’m already old and it’s already a little difficult for me to handle the country’s affairs. I can’t tolerate any potential mistakes in the country’s affairs. I’m no longer as sensitive as I was in the past. Therefore, if I continue to sit in this position, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be safe. Although I don’t want to say goodbye, I have to face reality…”

“My queen…”

The people below the stage started to feel uneasy and started to shout for Queen Yulia.

Since she had already said that, they could totally guess what she was going to say next.

Although Queen Yulia was a woman, their abilities were obvious.

Country Y had always been open.

There was no such thing as gender inequality.

Although she could have multiple wives, she was not against women holding high positions and power.

Everything was based on ability and mutual consent.

No man would look down on a woman’s ability to work, and no woman would go against her will to serve another woman.

There were already examples of queens ruling before Queen Yulia.

And the current Country Y was filled with the current situation. All of this came from the Queen’s ability to work.

He knew that she would abdicate sooner or later, but he didn’t expect it to be so sudden.

“Yes, it’s indeed time for me to abdicate.”

There was a commotion below the stage.

“But everyone, don’t be anxious. Since I can announce my abdication, I have naturally found a candidate who is satisfactory and has the absolute ability to manage the country…”

The audience quietened down.

She was curious about who the next king would be.

Queen Yulia walked up to Ji Fengmian and held her hand.

“Actually, I’m gradually letting go of the country’s affairs. Recently, my daughter has been helping to handle it. I know that she used to have a strong ability to handle work. Recently, I’ve observed that she’s indeed extraordinary! If I’m not wrong, she must be the ruler of a country that has surpassed me. Therefore, everyone can rest assured. I believe that she will lead all of us forward and create glory…”

Ji Fengmian was slowly pulled to her side by Queen Yulia.

She was not surprised by this sudden announcement.

She was already prepared to agree.

For the rest of her life, this was the only meaningful thing.

It was indeed not her wish to spend her life doing nothing.

Even though she was prepared, she couldn’t really feel happy when she heard the news. She didn’t even want to accept such trust and anticipation.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t confident. It was just that… a decision that would determine the rest of her life left her at a loss.

If she agreed, she would no longer be Ji Fengmian.

Instead, she was the queen of Country Y.

However, if she didn’t agree, there was no other meaning to her life.

After standing there in silence for a while, she took a deep breath and lowered her eyes slowly. She looked at the attention of nearly ten thousand people and said slowly,

“Hello, everyone. I’m indebted to the queen’s love and gratitude for her trust in me. From now on, I won’t let her down and I won’t let you down. I’ll accept this heavy burden and continue to lead everyone forward. I hope everyone can give me this opportunity… It’s understandable that you have doubts about me, but I’ll use the fastest speed to make you trust me, support me, and acknowledge me…”

Clenching her fists, she paused for a while before forcing a smile.

“I hereby promise that I will dedicate the rest of my life to the entire Country Y…”

Her voice trailed off as someone grabbed her arm tightly. A long arm belonging to a third person reached over and took the microphone away…
