They were puzzled as to why His Majesty would act in this way. No matter which family the beauty came from, even if His Majesty liked her, there would be no room for change, and there would not even be any reward.

It seems that Jing Yi will be different this time. To be able to gain the favor of His Majesty in this way is something that no one in Dalin dares to think of.

Most families would be happy to send their daughters into the palace. No matter what, they would have no worries about food and clothing, and it would also solve the problem of food and clothing for the family.

But they were just a few poor families. No matter who they were, His Majesty only rewarded their families with a few taels of gold. How could they receive such treatment as Jing Yi?

The crowd was already in an uproar. This was unprecedented. Everyone knew that His Majesty had not yet appointed any imperial concubine, let alone the title of queen.

If Jing Yi could gain His Majesty's exclusive favor, I'm afraid she would be the future queen.

However, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion would definitely not want to send their daughter into the palace.

Because Jingyi is the apple of the eye of the Dingbei Marquis and his wife's middle-aged jewel, they only have this one, how could they bear to let her get hurt? Even so, they are reluctant to do so.

How could she be allowed to enter the palace to suffer when behind the prosperous palace walls was a cruel and brutal prison?

Jing Yi is extremely beautiful and talented. She is not only the envy of many girls in the boudoir, but also the heart of the young men in the city. Since she came of age, people who came to propose marriage to her could already come to the city gate.

I could have found a loyal person, spent the rest of my life with him, and lived a fulfilling life like that.

But now there is no way to enter the palace wall and be locked in such a cage. This not only makes the people in the city regretful, but also heartbroken.

Those young men from noble families who wanted to make Jing Yi smile had their dreams shattered like this, and they can't even see Jing Yi's face in the future. This is undoubtedly a great sorrow for everyone.

Many young men in the crowd had already begun to feel dejected. How could they feel good when they saw their dream lover entering the high-walled courtyard so quickly?

If it were in the past, no matter what, even if Jing Yi had many suitors, she would not be afraid. After all, when Jing Yi herself had not expressed her feelings, she could still try her best, and maybe there would be a hopeful turning point.

Many people in the crowd began to lower their heads, their hearts in confusion, and some who did not want to hear these words anymore began to escape from the crowd.

When Jing Yi heard Baili Jue's words, she was not at all moved, but just bowed and took her luggage.

"Your Majesty, may you be well. I should return to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion first, and I will withdraw now."

Without waiting for Baili Juezhi's consent, Jingyi turned around and prepared to leave with Rui'er.

The people around looked at this scene in great horror, their hearts in their throats. These words and actions were completely disrespectful to His Majesty.

Just when they were all preparing for how His Majesty would deal with Jingyi, they were surprised once.

Not only did His Majesty not have anything else to say, he even smiled with interest. His cold eyes were then filled with a faint light that he had never had before.

Everyone around Baili Xuance was extremely puzzled as to why His Majesty would do this at this time.

It seemed that not only was he not angry at all, but his possessiveness towards Jing Yi seemed to be even stronger.
