An Jing immediately laughed and said, "Seventh Prince, you speak amiss. One's appearance is a gift from their parents. Vice General Meng wears a mask solely to express his deepest respect for the Crown Prince."
In other words, it wasn't because he was too ugly to show his face and needed to wear a mask to hide it.
Xiao Changyi said indifferently, "Seventh Prince, have you ever considered how your Third Imperial Brother would feel?"
Dongfang Tianyang was first taken aback, then burst into an extravagant laugh and said, "Vice General Meng, correct? I misspoke, this prince owes you an apology. I will punish myself with three drinks and hope Vice General Meng will not take it to heart. It was an unintentional mistake."
Meng Zhuqing also bowed with fists clenched, "I dare not accept such words."
Even though Meng Zhuqing said so, Dongfang Tianyang still very decisively punished himself with three drinks.
