Emperor Xuanwu looked speechless upon hearing this.
"Zhao'er is only sixteen years old. She's still growing. Isn't it normal for her to change? Do you need to tell her that?" Besides, what's there to report about becoming more beautiful?
Emperor Xuanwu did not pay attention to this and stopped He Peisheng from saying anything further.
He Peisheng had a premonition that His Majesty would regret this news.
When the secret guards reported to him before, they said that if the emperor didn't report the princess's appearance, the emperor would definitely regret it.
But now His Majesty clearly doesn't care about this news, and if he goes up and says something, he will definitely be punished. After thinking it over, He Peisheng decided to find another opportunity to talk to His Majesty about it later.
Although Qingyin explained to her mother the reasons for going to the grasslands and persuaded her, she couldn't convince her mother about the relationship between her mother and Emperor Xuanwu.
Consort Zheng was from a prestigious family. Although she was gentle, she also had the pride of a noblewoman. She stubbornly opposed Emperor Xuanwu when her daughter became a victim of a political marriage.

All he had left to do all day was dress up his daughter beautifully.
These days, Huayun Palace seems the same as before, yet also seems to have many differences.
At least the palace maids and eunuchs of Huayun Palace showed more genuine care for their master who was about to leave.
In the summer of the thirty-first year of Xuanwu, the harvest was plentiful, but this ancient city that had raised the princess was about to send off the princess who had grown up on this land.
The procession to fetch the princess for the grassland marriage alliance is about to arrive. A banquet will be held in three days to take the daughter away. When the news reached Consort Zheng's ears, it felt as if only one day had passed since she had just finished dressing up her daughter.
Consort Zheng couldn't help but feel dazed. She had already accepted it in her heart, but why did her mouth still taste bitter?
