The eunuch informed the old emperor about the Little Princess's coming-of-age ceremony so that he would not forget.
The old emperor was taken aback; his little daughter was about to come of age!
He remembered when the Eldest Princess went to the borders, the Little Princess was only eight years old, crying and clinging to her elder sister's leg, begging to go along.
Now the Little Princess was already coming of age, yet the Eldest Princess's return remained uncertain.
It seemed that the affection meant for the Eldest Princess was suddenly lavished on the Little Princess. Showered with love, her coming-of-age banquet was magnificently grand, but after all, she wasn't born to the Empress, and therefore could not outshine the Eldest Princess.
With the Little Princess coming of age, the old emperor regretted that the Number One Handsome Man could not become his son-in-law as a reside-in husband. However, perhaps he could become his legitimate son-in-law.
