The bet between Chengxuan Envoy's Mansion's eldest legitimate daughter Meng Hongjin and the eldest legitimate daughter of the chief minister, Jiang Li, has caused quite a sensation in Yanjing City. Even in the most secluded alleys and the humblest taverns, people would eagerly discuss this latest piece of gossip.

Betting parlors, big and small, even started to set up wagers, with people of all ages placing their bets.
