Despite rampant rumors outside, given the Crown Prince and the Emperor's feigned deafness and silence over time, people had come to understand that both His Majesty and the Crown Prince were indeed protective of the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess was truly blessed with a great father.
His Majesty had always harbored guilt over Su Chun's death, and now, that guilt was compensated onto Su Chun's daughter. Not only did he allow her to become the Crown Princess, but she was also the exclusive favorite in the Eastern Palace, and not a single candidate was accepted into the selection.
This left many families who wished to send their daughters to the Eastern Palace feeling quite disgruntled; Su Chun had been dead for so many years, and seeing the glory of the Crown Princess now made them even more eager to send their own daughters in.
