Chapter 124: Revealing True Colors

"Imperial Grandmother, aren't you putting us in a tight spot? Everyone knows how ugly the Crown Prince Consort is. If you ask her to remove her eye veil, we won't be able to eat or drink."

"Fifth Brother speaks the truth!" the Seventh Prince approved with a nod. "The name of the ugliest woman isn't unfounded, so let's not remove the veil at today's palace banquet."
