A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1876 - 442: Life Is But a Play (Part 6)

Ji Lanyi held the crown with both hands and gently placed it on Yun Ya’s head, creating a perfect match of beauty and nobility.

"Salute to Your Highness, the Princess."

The multitude below bowed in worship, their synchronized voices resonating with a heart-shaking power, echoing across the square for a long time.

Neo suddenly sat up straight, rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed them again, making sure he wasn’t mistaken, as the usual roguish smile on his face finally faded, and he said in disbelief, "That... that diamond...?"

Lady Mindai lowered her gaze and smiled slightly, as Lorde’s deep voice sounded in her ear.

"If I remember correctly, that is the peerless gem ’Mountain’s Light’ embedded in the crown of the Queen of Country Y."

Turning his head to look at Lady Mindai.

Each person felt varying degrees of shock; it was the symbol of the Queen’s crown, the national treasure of Country Y, and now it appeared on this princess’s crown, which was truly incredible.

Lady Mindai’s eyes idly glanced in the direction of the high platform, and no one knew what she was thinking deep in her heart.

"Too far away to see clearly."

Neo would never mistake it; that indeed was the ’Mountain’s Light,’ once fought over by many nations, but when Country Y still held its dominant position, it ultimately fell into the hands of the Queen and was embedded in the crown—it’s the national treasure of Country Y.

Unexpectedly, this diamond now appeared on this princess’s crown, why was there no prior whisper about this?

He would rather believe this gemstone to be fake, but the brilliance of a true peerless diamond is something that cannot be concealed or replicated.

It seems he has underestimated this newly rising small island nation; they are more capable than expected.

Thirty-six salutes were fired in accordance with national ceremony standards, with naval ships roaring, warplanes soaring in the sky, nationwide celebration, and all people paying homage.

In this magnificent display, Yun Ya slowly smiled, "Mother, after a long separation, I have a gift for you."

The woman smiled indulgently, "Oh? What gift does my baby girl have for me? Mother is looking forward to it."

"Bring it up."

As Yun Ya finished speaking, Xiao Nan approached with a bowed head and eyes downcast, holding a rectangular box in his hands, standing before Ji Lanyi, lowering his head to level with his hands.

"Mother, please open it and see if you are satisfied."

With the other party saying this, not opening it would show too little regard, and the image of a good mother carefully crafted just now would crumble.

"Alright." Ji Lanyi smiled, slowly reaching out to open the box lid...

Yun Ya watched quietly.

Ji Lanyi’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, she only glanced at it and then gently closed the lid.

"How is it? Do you like the gift I sent, Mother?" Yun Ya asked lightly.

"You mischievous girl, still as playful as when you were little." Ji Lanyi shook her head and smiled, her tone filled with both fondness and helplessness.

A fleeting shadow of darkness swiftly crossed Yun Ya’s eyes, her finger slowly resting on the box lid, her gaze fixated unblinkingly on Ji Lanyi.

"Mother, just say if you like it or not? This is your baby girl’s heartfelt intention...."

Ji Lanyi’s cool fingers gently caressed her cheek, her gaze filled with tenderness, and said helplessly, "I like it, how could Mother not like it? As long as it’s something from you, Mother likes it. Later, I will frame it because it’s the first gift my baby girl has ever given me, and I want to cherish it...."

As Ji Lanyi’s voice fell, Yun Ya couldn’t help but get goosebumps, barely suppressing the urge to retch, she smiled flawlessly, "I knew Mother treats me the best."

Agunara couldn’t help but say, "Why do I feel... there’s something strange between this mother and daughter?"

He didn’t know that the strange feeling came from the murderous aura.

All present were clever enough to have already noticed this issue but didn’t say much about it.

"Distinguished guests, the Queen is hosting a banquet in the reception hall, please follow me to the reception hall." Butler Ziyu respectfully walked in and said.

The long dining table stretched endlessly, with its black marble top adorned with exquisite dishes arranged in a straight line, everything bathed in the light of a massive crystal chandelier, displaying unparalleled opulence.

With fifty-four southern dishes and fifty-four northern dishes, there were a total of one hundred and eight dishes, commonly referred to as the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.

People were seated one by one, each with a servant standing beside them, functioning as chopsticks.

"Where are your masters? Leaving us here in the lurch, what are they up to?" Agunara said discontentedly.

Butler Ziyu respectfully said, "The Prince, please wait a moment, the Queen will arrive shortly."
