He knew that the Empress's words might not be true.
But there may also be some truth in them.
Li Miaotan is indeed the most beloved Princess by the Phoenix Emperor.
From a young age, she was showered with favor, and even all the princes and princesses together couldn't rival the love she received.

Such a Bright Pearl being married off to another man certainly caused discontent.
That's why they definitely didn't look favorably upon him.

After all, he was only the Ninth Prince of the Jade Dynasty.
It wasn't until arriving at the Phoenix Dynasty that he discovered their true feelings toward the Jade Dynasty and the Yuanzhen Dynasty.
