After Princess Chengyang grew up, Emperor Taizong personally chose a husband for his daughter: Du He, the second son of Du Ruhui. The marriage between Princess Chengyang and Du He should have been a good story, but because Du He was a confidant of Li Chengqian, he later participated in the rebellion of Crown Prince Li Chengqian and was executed.

Upon learning of this, Tang Gaozong not only did not execute his sister, but also did not say a word of blame. He only demoted Xue Guan to become the governor of Fangzhou. Tang Gaozong was not at all concerned about witchcraft and witchcraft. Later, he even married his only legitimate daughter, Princess Taiping, to Xue Shao, the youngest son of Princess Chengyang. Tang Gaozong was truly a doting girl and a maniac.

Princess Chengyang never had to worry about food and clothing throughout her life, enjoying all the glory and wealth. Her parents and brothers loved her very much, making her one of the happiest princesses in history.
