Chapter 250: Revealing the True Face: Who is the Ugly Monster?
Everyone looked over in unison.
The emperor was seen wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walking towards them with steady steps, and a huge team was following him.
The Queen, his favorite Concubine Jing, as well as the concubines in the harem and all the princes and princesses were there.
He has been in very good spirits recently, with a rosy complexion and full of energy.
Chu Yan, wearing a mask, stood out in the crowd, as did his court robes, which were a little too short.
When the King of Chu saw this, his brows slightly frowned.
The Queen and the others also saw it, as did Chu Heng, Chu Xing, and the other princes.
Chu Heng was trying hard to control his emotions and not let them show even a little bit.
Chu Xing’s expression management was not that good.
When he saw Chu Yan, he felt very dissatisfied and resentful.
The King of Chu walked up to them, and Chu Yan quickly bowed: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
Chu Yun and Chu Yao also bowed.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respect to you." Shen Yindi was still wearing a veil today.
"Well, no gifts."
"I'll ask the clothing factory to make you a suitable court dress. It's inappropriate to wear it like this." The King of Chu's voice was a little low.
"This is the only thing I have, and it happened six years ago. I dare not do it without your permission. Please forgive me." Chu Yan explained in a low, very steady voice.
Compared to the young man in fine clothes and riding a horse five years ago, he has indeed changed a lot.
Emperor Chu thought of Shen Yindi's words, How many five years are there in a lifetime?
He felt a little upset because his Yan'er had wasted the best five years of his life.
But Emperor Chu knew very well that now was not the time to think about these things.
"Yun'er, how is Yao'er's health recently? Are you feeling better?" Emperor Chu asked about the condition of his two daughters again.
"Your Majesty, I am much better now, thanks to Adi's superb medical skills." Chu Yun said respectfully.
Chu Yao obviously still looked very weak, but she answered everything in detail.
He didn't ask any more questions.
Follow them, the auspicious time will soon arrive.
The blessing ceremony was presided over by the Prime Minister, Lord Zhong, who was also the father of Concubine Zhong. His hair was already gray and he was in his early fifties.
The King of Chu walked to the center of the altar, while the others waited below.
Shen Yindi had only seen such content on TV, but it felt quite different today when she actually participated in it.
But she always felt that someone was staring at her, and there were several pairs of eyes staring at her.
The princes, princesses, and concubines stood together. Chu Yan and Shen Yindi stood at the edge. They had no intention of competing with them for a spot.
There is a large lake and a rockery next to the altar.
This time, we chose a place with water, which was also decided after divination.
The ceremony began and the prime minister started to go through the procedures.
Shen Yindi began to feel sleepy after listening for a while.
She hated this kind of nagging the most.
But they did not dare to act rashly during the sacrifice.
Shen Yindi felt that it was similar to the modern military posture.
From time to time, you have to recite along.
Fortunately, the weather was good, sunny and windy.
The sacrificial and blessing activities lasted for about an hour before they finally came to an end.
Shen Yindi's legs were numb.
Chu Yan was actually completely empty-headed and a little absent-minded.
In fact, he has been thinking, his A Di said she wanted to give him a surprise and severely stimulate Chu Heng and the others, what is she going to do?
Just now he was still worried about what she was going to do during the blessing ceremony, which would definitely anger his father.
Fortunately, I didn't. I made it to the end.
Afterwards, the Emperor brought the Empress and Concubine Jing to the next room to let a specially invited master see the result of this prayer.
Everyone else is waiting and can move freely, waiting for the results together.
Suddenly, a mocking voice came: "Third brother, why are you still wearing a mask? Are the pockmarks on your face not healed yet?"
"Don't you have the face to show it to everyone?"
The person who spoke was Chu Xing, who loved doing such brainless things.
His words successfully attracted the attention of the officials and other princes and princesses present.
This is what Shen Yindi was waiting for.
Chu Yan asked her in the morning if she still wanted to wear a mask, and she said yes.
She expected that someone would use his face as an excuse.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Heng also came over, with a bit of hypocritical concern on his face: "Yes, Third Brother, why don't you let us see how your face is now? What if one of us has a way to treat you?"
"They should still be all red spots, right? Are you distressed?"
"Everyone once said that you were the most handsome man in Chu, but unfortunately your face was ruined and you can only live with a mask on."
These words sound like concern, but anyone can hear the sarcasm underneath.
At this time, someone else said, "Your princess also has a face full of scars. She looks very suitable for you, right?"
Shen Yindi looked over and saw that it was Chu Xing's younger brother, Chu Xin.
"What does my appearance have to do with you? It's better than those who look decent but are ugly inside."
"Also, don't bring up my princess. It's despicable to discuss a woman's appearance!"
Chu Yan said coldly, with displeasure on his face.
"You see, the Third Prince's heart is not as broad as before. Maybe we touched his sore spot and he got angry out of shame."
"Who wouldn't be bothered by having an extremely ugly face?"
At this time, someone in the crowd said: "The most handsome man in Chu has become the ugliest man."
It’s Minister Shen.
He hated them so much that he couldn't help but say something.
"Hahaha, the ugliest man! Indeed! Such an ugly appearance damages the reputation of our royal family, doesn't it?" Chu Xing laughed.
Shen Yindi sneered back: "You are the ugly men. Not only are you ugly, but your heart is also ugly!"
"Your Majesty, take off the mask and let them open their eyes and take a good look at who is the ugly man!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan listened to his A Di and took off his mask directly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on his face.
Under the silver mask was an almost perfect handsome face.
Still as impeccably handsome as he was back then.
The people around him suddenly became as quiet as chickens. Why does he look more handsome than before?
Fortunately, there were no other women present today except the princess and the concubines, otherwise they would have been fascinated by him.
Chu Heng, who had just laughed at him, had a frozen smile on Chu Xing’s face.
They couldn't believe it. Not only did he recover physically, but his appearance was also restored! How could this be possible?
What’s the difference between this and Chu Yan back then?
A strong jealousy burst in my heart. The hands hanging at my sides clenched into fists.
The object of their ridicule fell on Shen Yindi again.
"We are very happy that Third Brother has recovered. It's a pity that you married such an ugly princess."
"Do you feel like you can't eat when you face her every day?"
The displeasure on Chu Yan's face was already very obvious.
"I have already warned you once. If you dare to humiliate my princess again, don't blame me for being rude!" As he said that, Chu Yan kicked Chu Xing directly on the calf. He screamed in pain and his face turned pale.
"Third brother, how can you attack your own brother?"
"Besides, my second brother is not wrong. You did marry a princess with scars all over her face. Are you still afraid of what people will say?" Chu Heng stood up and pretended to be fair.
"Let me see how ugly it is?" Someone said, and then quickly tore off the veil on Shen Yindi's face!
Everyone present looked at her at the same time and was stunned for a moment...
