Princes and princesses of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, unless married, were to reside within the palace.
Even certain especially favored princesses were allowed to continue living in the palace after their marriage.
Yet, she, at only fourteen years old, was released from the palace early, which was as if the Phoenix Emperor was indirectly declaring to the world: this daughter does not have his favor.
With such a status, what future could she speak of anymore?
She looked at the Phoenix Monarch with a pleading gaze.
The Phoenix Monarch also found it hard to bear, his eldest daughter had been raised by the Phoenix Emperor since childhood, moving to Qinghuang Palace after turning fourteen, and although their relationship was close, it wasn't as intimate as with his younger daughter.
He found the Phoenix Emperor's command somewhat unacceptable.
