356 Chapter 356 “Revealing Face“
Hearing Duan Hui Nan reminder, all the people inside the room instantly recalled the palace rule. Indeed in a banquet held in palace, the guest must not wear anything to cover their face.
This is considered rude for the host who make the banquet. Up until now they haven't really take this matter into consideration because of Li Shi Ying high status but then Duan Hui Nan had 'kindly' stated it out loud, how could they pretend to not notice it?
Even the emperor himself find this situation to be awkward. He intended to let Li Shi Ying wore veil as no one among his guests mentioned this but now his daughter had talked about it!
As an emperor if he couldn't straighten his own rule then who would respect him as the one ruling this country? If only Duan Hui Nan didn't say anything then the others too wouldn't do anything about Li Shi Ying wearing veil to attend a palace banquet.
"Lady Li...can you please remove your veil? It's the custom here so..." The emperor could only awkwardly asked Li Shi Ying to remove her veil. After all that was the rule.
Seeing this, Li Shi Ying wasn't flustered at all. She wore veil out of habit and if she had to take it off now she won't mind but...a person mind this.
"Miss..." Chen was rather reluctant if Li Shi Ying took off her veil. After all he had seen how beautiful she was...and for some reasons he didn't like the idea of other people seeing his bunny pretty appearance too!
"Don't worry it's just taking off veil" Li Shi Ying thought Chen did this because her make up was rather strange so it would be embarrassing but Li Shi Ying herself didn't mind.
She had seen her reflection on the mirror and even though she thought it was rather unusual, she didn't think her face was ugly.
Li Shi Ying just couldn't guess what was Duan Hui Nan plotted for her until she wanted her to take off her veil. What was in that princess mind? She really couldn't guess it.
Of course what Duan Hui Nan want was for people to see how plain Li Shi Ying face was and so she could still get attention as the prettiest girl in this banquet.
Duan Hui Nan just wanted to be the best at every aspect and Li Shi Ying whom she saw as a nuisance, mustn't be better than her.
Not only Duan Hui Nan, even the ladies in the room also wanted Li Shi Ying to take off her veil. They felt jealous that she had a high status with handsome man beside her so the ladies also curious to see Li Shi Ying face.
For girl after all no matter how strong they were in the end they still need beautiful face to marry someone from high status. In this era woman can't be independent not like in Li Shi Ying.
Because of that the ladies who attend the banquet, all pray that Li Shi Ying wasn't beautiful. In that way they won't feel inferior to her.
The men inside the room also curious with Li Shi Ying true appearance. She had high status, good treasure, and strong. So if she is a beauty and had talent...she would be a perfect wife candidate!
This was what Chen worried about. He knew how these men thought as he too was a man. Knowing his bunny would be the target of these people greedy wish, he felt stuffy!
SRAK.
Li Shi Ying began to slowly took off her veil and the moment she did so, the whole banquet went silent. It was noisy earlier with people demanding her to took off her veil but now it was so silent until you could hear the sound of people breathing.
The men in the room all had their jaw dropped to the floor as they nearly drooled when they saw Li Shi Ying without her veil while the ladies all quietly ate the snack in front of them, trying their best to reduce their presence.
So beautiful!
Li Shi Ying face was still so young and fresh but she looked mature with make up on her face. Pink lips like cherry, that deep and beautiful moon-like eyes, coupled with her snow white skin, Li Shi Ying looked like a moon goddess!
She looked mysteriously elegant. Just like a painting.
Many men inside the room had their mind filled with Li Shi Ying beauty including Duan Hu Yan. He had saw Li Shi Ying face before and it was normal but then looking at her now, he doubted his memory.
Who's this beautiful lady?? Is that even the same Li Shi Ying he saw before?
At that moment Duan Hu Yan instantly swore that he would made Li Shi Ying his wife no matter what method he had to use.
Getting such a pretty wife with high status, strength and wealth who wouldn't want to? Even the other men inside the room who still hadn't take in a wife, thought the same as Duan Hu Yan.
Duan Hu Yan was so enchanted with Li Shi Ying beauty that he had his eyes fixed to Li Shi Ying face, unable to look anywhere anymore making Duan Hui Nan felt utterly defeated.
