At this moment, in the solemn hall, all eyes were focused on Gu Juechen and the other two.
Sometimes it is quiet, sometimes it is high-spirited.
"Welcome back to the palace, Your Highness, may you be safe and sound."
The people in the hall stood up, stood sideways facing the hall door, bowed together, and placed their right hands on their left chests.
Show your utmost respect.
Jing Yi couldn't help but look at Gu Juechen. Seeing that he remained calm and composed, the image of that smiling face facing her appeared in her mind for some reason.
Such feelings seemed to be directed only at her. After all, all his love was probably placed on Jing Yi.
A warm feeling surged in Jing Yi's heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously revealed the most sincere smile.
She nodded lightly.
Following Gu Juechen's footsteps, Jing Yi also took her own timid steps.
Now she no longer has the fear she had just now. After all, as long as this person is there, she has nothing to worry about, and that sense of security will automatically come to her.
There were all kinds of looks in the hall: contempt, disgust, jealousy, and disdain...
All of this was directed at Jing Yi. Many of the young women looked at Jing Yi with disdain, as if they were looking at a down-and-out girl.
"Who is this woman? How could I be so close to her?"
"Exactly. Look at us Nine Netherworlds. Who is better than her? Just based on her appearance, she's just... ordinary, okay? How did she catch my eye?"
"Maybe they have some secret?"
"Take good advice from her. Maybe we will be the next to stand beside the Lonely Lord!"
“…”
Too many different voices rang in Jingyi's ears. She gradually lowered her head and began to feel increasingly irritated.
She was afraid of such looks, and she didn't understand why people here talked about her like this. How could she accept it in her heart?
The former Xuanzhu was a decisive person who would not allow anyone to disobey or despise her. But now Jingyi is just an ordinary person. Even though she is the incarnation of Xuanzhu in her bones, she still finds it difficult to accept all the voices that are unfavorable to her.
Gu Juechen clearly heard all those voices, but he absolutely could not get angry at this moment. After all, everyone here was the daughter of a powerful official in Jiuyou, and their identities should not be underestimated.
If this caused protests from all the powerful ministers, it would be even more difficult for Jingyi in the future.
Now no matter what, as long as I can protect Jingyi, I can handle the rest behind the scenes.
There was a man standing upright next to the larger high seat. That man was Xiang Ke. He had a pair of eyes that seemed to be without any emotion. He just stood alone in his position.
He was not curious about Gu Juechen's arrival, but just bowed slightly towards Gu Juechen.
Gu Juechen nodded at him with a very indifferent look.
Following Gu Juechen's own footsteps, Jing Yi followed behind him slowly.
Stepping onto the first step of the high seat, Jing Yi looked at the solemn and noble high seat in front of her and stopped unconsciously. She couldn't imagine such a position, and she couldn't step onto it. Everyone here seemed to be full of opinions about her.
If she took that step now, she wouldn't know what to do in the future.
When Gu Juechen saw Jing Yi's strange behavior, he immediately understood what she meant.
