Chapter 456 - 456 Prince Rui (6)

456 Prince Rui (6)
What was most eye-catching was that half of his face was covered by a silver mask.
The mask started from his forehead and stopped at the tip of his nose. However, because it fit his facial features perfectly, it revealed extremely smooth lines. One could see that his nose was high and his eyes seemed to be straight out of a painting. With a casual glance, he could infatuate all the women present. The jaw that was revealed was beautifully curved, and his lips were thin and red.
Everyone was silent.
They stared at that face without blinking. The silver mask was emitting a cold light, making people feel a chill run down their spines. His eyes were dark and bright, as if they were filled with a playful smile.
He was a young man who was as dazzling as the sun.
He sat down in the seat arranged for the honored guests, his every move elegant and noble.
Emperor Wen Hui laughed and looked at Prince Rui. “Prince Rui, aren’t you feeling unwell today? Why did you come to the banquet? You surprised us.”
Prince Rui nodded at Emperor Wen Hui and said casually and lazily, “I’m suddenly in the mood to attend the banquet, so I came.”
His voice was very pleasant to the ear, low and magnetic, making all the young girls present blush slightly. However, his words were extremely rude and impudent. The tribute banquet in Ming Qi was a big deal, but in Prince Rui’s mouth, it was like a banquet for ordinary people where he could come and go as he wished.
The officials of Ming Qi were angry but did not dare to say anything. If Emperor Wen Hui did not dare to say anything, what could they say? While being impudent, he also gave off an oppressive pressure that made people not dare to challenge him.
Emperor Wen Hui did not pursue the matter and let the officials continue to eat and drink. Clearly, he planned to let this matter rest.
While eating the pastries, Luo Tan whispered to Shen Miao, “Prince Rui is really bold. He actually dares to speak to the emperor like that. Isn’t he afraid that the emperor will punish him?”
“What punishment?” When Feng Anning heard that, she said, “He is Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty and an honored guest of Ming Qi.”
“I’ve never heard of this Prince Rui before.” Luo Tan held her chin and said, “He looks like a handsome man. I really want to see what he looks like under the mask.” Luo Tan liked handsome men the most. When she saw this Prince Rui, her eyes were almost glued to him.
“Maybe there’s an ugly monster under the mask.” Feng Anning poured cold water on her. “Otherwise, why would he wear a mask?”
“I bet he’s a rare handsome man in the world.” Luo Tan nudged Shen Miao. “Cousin Miao, what kind of person do you think Prince Rui is?”
Shen Miao did not even look up. “I don’t know.”
“Tell me.” Luo Tan did not give up. “Do you think Prince Rui is more beautiful than the Young Marquis of the Xie family?”
Shen Miao did not expect Luo Tan to use the word “beautiful” to describe Xie Jingxing. She was drinking tea and choked on it. She suddenly coughed, scaring Luo Tan and Feng Anning so much that they quickly covered Shen Miao’s mouth to prevent her from spitting on others.
Shen Miao wiped the corners of her mouth and looked up to see a pair of eyes staring at her.
The masked man lingered his gaze on her for a moment before moving away.
His gaze was very playful.
