Chapter 1693: I’m Not Sure
“Why do you say that Her Highness prepared the same gift as you?”
No one expected that Fina, who had been so happy that her rationality had flown away, would suddenly turn her attention to Bailey and Bei Xi.
She seemed to be a different person from the excited woman just now.
Being suddenly asked like this, Bei Xi panicked. She looked at Bei Lei for help and saw that her expression was obviously unnatural.
Knowing that she had caused trouble, Bei Xi pursed her lips and remained silent.
At this moment, Shen Fanxing stood beside him. She immediately nudged him and pulled his arm. She gritted her teeth and asked softly,
“How dare you change the gift Grandma prepared for you without a word!”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and said, “Bei Xi, what are you talking about? I didn’t hear you. Why didn’t you speak louder?”
She naturally understood what Bei Xi was saying. If not for the fact that she knew that Bei Xi would never find problems with her and that her intelligence would follow her temper, she would not have stood here and waited for her to take the initiative to lean on her.
Shen Fanxing’s voice was low and everyone’s attention was on them.
Bei Xi didn’t expect Shen Fanxing to do that and she trembled in fear.
Of course, she wouldn’t repeat herself. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t know that Grandma had given Shen Fanxing a birthday present.
Now, not only did they know, but they had also chosen the same gift as Shen Fanxing. They had even given the gift before Shen Fanxing did. Their goal was to make Shen Fanxing look like a follower in the eyes of Fina or everyone else. There was nothing new about her and she wouldn’t gain Fina’s favor.
As a result, the first cannon she fired as a princess had become a mute cannon.
Unexpectedly, Shen Fanxing had another trick up her sleeve.
Now that Shen Fanxing was leading her by the nose, she gritted her teeth in anger.
“Nothing. You heard wrongly. How can I say anything to you?”
“Bei Xi, you have to be honest first. If you didn’t say anything, would Fanxing accuse you wrongly? Moreover, do you not treat me as a human, or do you think I’m deaf? You were clearly saying that Fanxing was bold enough to swap the gift prepared by the queen!”
Finan held the kitten in his arms and stroked the top of its head. He seemed to be serving the kitten comfortably.
However, her gaze was on Bei Xi, and her words were clear and mocking.
Shen Fanxing turned to look at Fina, who winked at her, looking scheming and cunning.
She curled her lips and said, “So that’s what you mean. Sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”
With the cat in her arms, Fina rubbed against Shen Fanxing. Although she was slightly plump, her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Especially when she seemed to have smelled something interesting. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
“What happened? You changed your gift midway? What was your original gift?” She paused and looked at Bailey and Bei Xi.
“How do you know that Fanxing changed her gift midway?”
Her words were full of questions.
They were either asking Shen Fanxing or them.
Bei Xi pursed her lips, knowing that she had said something wrong. This time, she was determined not to speak again.
As for Fina’s question, whoever was willing to answer should answer!
However, it wasn’t just Finan who was curious about this. Everyone present was curious.
After all, they had heard Bei Xi mocking Shen Fanxing for using a huge box as a gift.
Now that she insisted that the jewelry wasn’t given to her, she felt that there was a story behind it.
Two princesses opposing a new princess was an incredible piece of gossip.
Faced with Bei Xi’s silence, Shen Fanxing pretended to say casually,
“Speaking of which, I might have to explain to Grandma when I get back. Actually, in order to prevent me from making mistakes, Grandma brought an unpleasant meeting to Miss Fina’s birthday party. She actually brought me to choose a set of birthday gifts. It’s a set of ruby jewelry. It’s similar to… the gifts given by the two princesses.”
“…”
“…”
At this point, everyone seemed to understand something.
However, Shen Fanxing continued, “It’s just that I feel that I’m about the same age as Miss Fina. Compared to the expensive jewelry that Grandma chose, I feel that cute animals are more likable, so I made the decision on my own.”
There didn’t sound like a problem.
Although the gift chosen by Queen Yulia would never go wrong, Shen Fanxing had good intentions.
At the very least, now that Miss Fina had received her gift, it was probably the gift that she liked the most in the past few years.
With good intentions and good results,
That was enough.
Bei Lei and Bei Xi were rendered speechless by Shen Fanxing’s words and their faces turned purple.
However, Shen Fanxing refused to give up. She glanced at the two of them and continued,
“Fortunately, I switched the gifts midway. Otherwise, it would have been awkward for me to give gifts to the two princesses. Otherwise, someone would have complained that our royal family is like a nouveau riche. The three princesses appeared at the banquet together and gave the same gift… It’s as if our royal family can’t come up with any other suitable gifts other than jewelry. If the royal family is covered in dust because of me, I really don’t know how I’ll be laughed at.”
Bailey clenched her fists tightly as she stood there biting the wall of her mouth. Her face was calm, but her heart had already slashed Shen Fanxing into pieces.
She had only sent the gift out before her so that everyone could mock her. But now, she was labeled as someone who couldn’t give a decent gift to the royal family.
With just a few words, she had caused the royal family to lose face. She was really good at sweet-talking.
Looking at Shen Fanxing’s hypocritical expression, Bailey was certain that she understood everything. She was just embarrassing them.
They knew that this woman would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, but they didn’t expect her to not give them any face at such an occasion.
After all, it involved the dignity of the royal family. She was really selfish and self-serving.
Shen Fanxing didn’t deny that she was a vengeful person. Sensing the murderous gaze, she continued,
“Back then, Grandma got someone to wrap the gift and give it to me. No one else should know. I’m also curious how you guys knew that I changed the gift midway and that it was a set of jewelry.”
