Seeing the emperor's anger, everyone quickly got up and knelt down.
Ye Qingcheng, Qin Mohan, and Ye Jingyu also knelt down.
The Emperor glanced at the civil and military officials below, then fixed his gaze on Prime Minister Ye, giving him a fierce glare.
"Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, not a time for political discussion. You all get up and submit memorials just because of the veil of the Princess Consort of Han. Why have you never been so enthusiastic about court affairs in the past?"
"Before I even spoke, you all condemned Princess Han for me. You truly are my loyal subjects!"
"We dare not."
"Hmph, I wouldn't dare, Prime Minister Ye."
"Your humble servant is here."
"You really know how to share my burdens! Princess Han is your own daughter, the legitimate daughter of your Duke's mansion."
"You actually managed to put aside your own family for the greater good, and even get all the officials to follow suit and condemn the Princess Consort of Han. You really are loyal to me!"
"Chen...chen..."
"Alright, Your Majesty, today is my birthday. There's no need to spoil the mood with this."
"Yes, Mother."
"Rise, all of you!"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Princess Han."
"Daughter-in-law, I'm here."
"Since all the officials have agreed, I hereby order you to remove your veil. You may not wear it again when entering the palace in the future. If you violate this rule again, I will punish you for disrespect."
"Yes, daughter-in-law, as you command."
"Father..."
Before Qin Mohan could say anything more, Ye Qingcheng turned to look at him, shook her head slightly, and gestured for him to stop talking.
Then.
Ye Qingcheng then raised her hand and untied the ribbon of her veil.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Qingcheng's face.
Of course, Ye Qingyao was an exception.
At this moment, her face was full of disdain, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
Ye Qingcheng! Ye Qingcheng, now that you've lifted your veil, you probably won't have the face to stay here any longer, will you?
This way.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Qingcheng slowly unveiled her face, very slowly.
The slow pace made everyone a little impatient.
Even if it's slow.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the screen.
A moment later.
The veil was completely lifted.
In an instant, a fair, unadorned, aloof, and otherworldly beauty came into everyone's view.
quiet!
In the blink of an eye.
The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the only sounds were the heartbeats and breathing of the people inside.
certainly.
Aside from Qin Mohan, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, Ye Jingyu, Eunuch Yin, and Physician Fang, who had all seen Ye Qingcheng's appearance before, there were others who had already seen her.
The rest of the people stared wide-eyed, as if they were seeing an unparalleled treasure, their faces filled with horror.
Even Ye Guoxiang stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
However, there is one exception: Ye Qingyao.
At this moment, her face was full of disdain, and she didn't even look at Ye Qingcheng.
Instead, he looked around, wanting to see the disgusted expressions on everyone's faces when they saw Ye Qingcheng's ugly face.
When she saw the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, she curled her lips into a smile.
"Your Highness, how is it? Are you so ugly you feel like vomiting?"
The crown prince, who was in a daze, came to his senses when he heard her question and turned to glare at her angrily.
"You bitch."
"kindness?"
Ye Qingyao was bewildered by the Crown Prince's inexplicable anger, and then paused for a moment.
However, a moment later...
She smiled again: "Your Highness, I know Ye Qingcheng is ugly, but if..."
"Ugly? Damn it, if she's ugly, then there are no more beauties in the world. I, the Crown Prince, really want to strangle you."
"ah?"
Ye Qingyao was taken aback again upon hearing this: "Your Highness, what have I done wrong this time?"
"You fucking see for yourself."
"look?"
Ye Qingyao frowned slightly, then turned to look at Ye Qingcheng.
boom!
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
She trembled violently, her mind going completely blank.
Meanwhile, on this side...
The entire hall fell silent until the Emperor spoke, instructing Ye Qingcheng and the other two to rise.
Everyone finally came to their senses.
However, the eyes of those young masters, noblemen, and ladies from prominent families still fell on Ye Qingcheng.
"Beautiful...so beautiful, this...Princess Han is so beautiful. I have seen countless beauties, but I have never seen anyone as beautiful as Princess Han. She is so beautiful that it takes my breath away and I can't take my eyes off her."
"Yes, she is absolutely stunning. The moment I saw her, I felt like I was seeing a fairy."
"Yes! I feel the same way. She's like she stepped out of a painting; she's absolutely flawless!"
"That's right, with such an unparalleled beauty, it's no wonder she wears a veil every day. She's probably afraid that someone with ulterior motives will covet her beauty!"
"That must be it. Damn it, who is it? Who spread these rumors that she's ugly? With such stunning beauty, how can she be ugly? Is there any beauty to be found in this world?"
"That's right, damn it, the rumors are really unbelievable. They say the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion is ugly and unbearable, but I think that concubine's daughter, who is hailed as the most beautiful woman in the capital, is not even a tenth as beautiful as her."
"Yes! Indeed, I originally thought that the Crown Prince's concubine was already quite beautiful, but now that I see the Princess Consort of Han, I realize what true beauty is."
"Exactly, exactly. But speaking of which, did you guys see that?"
"What do you see?"
"Prime Minister Ye".
"What happened to Prime Minister Ye?"
"I just noticed by chance that Prime Minister Ye was also staring at Princess Han, completely mesmerized."
