Although Nangong Xiongba was very handsome as a bottom, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel disgusted at the thought that the other person had the same features as him.
"Brother Xiong Ba, what business do you have with me?"
Qin Yu quietly withdrew his hand, then asked with a smile.
Nangong Lexi then remembered her purpose in seeking out Qin Yu.
"Actually, I wanted to see Brother Huang for two reasons. First, I wanted to continue discussing musical rhythms with you. Second, I wanted to invite Brother Huang to attend the Wonderful Music Gathering on the 15th of this month with me."
"The Wonderful Music Gathering?" Qin Yu looked puzzled.
He'd never heard of such a meeting before.
"Although Brother Huang is a master of music, he does not like to flaunt his fame, so it is normal that he does not know about the Wonderful Music Gathering. This Wonderful Music Gathering is a grand gathering for the younger generation of our Great Xia to discuss music and compete. Whoever can stand out in the Wonderful Music Gathering can enter the Imperial Music Bureau and serve as the deputy director of the Music Bureau, which can be described as rising to the top in one step."
"Therefore, whenever the Wonderful Music Gathering is held, young musical talents from all the states of Great Xia will gather in the capital to compete in music."
Nangong Lexi imitated the manner of those talented scholars, opening her folding fan and fanning herself, then slowly spoke with one hand behind her back.
After listening, Qin Yu finally understood what the wonderful sound was for.
To put it simply, it was the imperial examination system of the Music Bureau.
Although the official positions in the Music Bureau did not have much real power, becoming the deputy director of the Music Bureau was a height that many people could not reach in their entire lives.
But that made him lose interest.
What's the point of watching a bunch of grown men play instruments and sing?
"Brother Xiong Ba, it's really unfortunate, I have something to attend to on the 15th of this month, and I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the Wonderful Music Gathering!"
Qin Yu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and prepared to leave.
Looking at Nangong Xiong Ba, Qin Yu inexplicably felt like he had been turned gay.
Therefore, he dared not stay by Nangong Xiong Ba's side for even a moment longer.
"Brother Huang, this grand event only happens once every ten years, it's not to be missed. And since we've finally come across it, why don't we find a quiet place to discuss music properly? I still have many questions to ask you about the staff notation you taught me last time!"
Nangong Lexi tried to stop Qin Yu, but Qin Yu walked very fast and soon left her behind.
"Hmph, hmph, you stupid idiot, why are you running so fast!"
Seeing Qin Yu flee as if he were running away, Nangong Lexi stomped her feet in anger and pouted, huffing.
She's not some man-eating monster, what's there to be afraid of?
"call!"
Seeing that Nangong Lexi hadn't caught up, Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Da Hu arrived in the carriage, the group headed towards the Women's Lifestyle Center.
Seeing Qin Yu rush to the Women's Lifestyle Center as soon as he came out of Shuiyunjian, and then get into some kind of mess with a group of women behind closed doors, Yin Dang and Wu Chi were filled with envy, jealousy and resentment.
This tyrant is so weak, how can he still spend all his time on a woman's belly?
However, Qin Yu was not doing that at the moment.
"I'm leaving this girl in your care from now on."
After briefly recounting Xiao Ning's experiences, Qin Yu handed Xiao Ning over to Qingzhu and the others.
After hearing Xiao Ning's story, the girls felt great sympathy for her and naturally didn't mind taking her in.
"Xiao Ning, from now on, treat us as your family."
Qingzhu gently hugged Xiaoning and said tenderly.
Xiao Ning opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
The immense grief and shock she had experienced had left her with aphasia, making her practically mute. No wonder the madam of Shuiyun Inn disliked her.
Seeing that Xiao Ning didn't resist being with Qingzhu and the others, Qin Yu felt relieved.
He then stood up, preparing to return to the palace.
However, before stepping out the door, Qin Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Qingzhu with a half-smile.
"Beauties of Green Bamboo, you haven't forgotten the bet you made with me, have you?"
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Qingzhu and the others couldn't help but blush.
At the time, they all thought that contraceptive sleeves would never sell, but to their surprise, they not only sold but were extremely popular. They couldn't deny it even if they wanted to.
"Your Majesty..."
Just as Qingzhu was about to beg for mercy, Qin Yu's large hand slapped hard on her shapely buttocks.
Ah~
Qingzhu couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
"I'll make my request when you return to the palace next time!"
Qin Yu gently pinched it, then said with a smile.
They were all on the verge of tears.
It seems they won't have a good time next time they return to the palace!
After leaving the Women's Life Hall, Qin Yu led everyone back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Yin Dang and Wu Chi went to the Prime Minister's residence as usual to report Qin Yu's whereabouts for the day, while Qin Yu found an excuse to summon Zhu Fei into the palace.
Seeing Zhu Fei holding another highly nutritious tiger penis, the passing palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but show disdain.
"This tyrant is getting weaker and weaker; he has to eat this kind of stuff to replenish himself every day!"
Zhu Fei ignored the gazes of these people and soon arrived at the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what brings you to the palace?"
Zhu Fei asked respectfully.
"Zhu Fei, you've been operating in the capital for a long time. Have you heard of any rice merchants in the capital with the surname Shen?"
Qin Yu looked up from the memorial and gazed at Zhu Fei.
According to Bai Ruyan, the woman named Chen Jing claimed that her family were rice merchants in the capital. In that case, the fastest way is to directly investigate Zhu Fei, this old fox.
Zhu Fei pondered for a moment before speaking, "There is a rice merchant in the capital with the surname Shen, named Shen Daqian."
"Does the Shen family have a daughter named Chen Jing?"
When Qin Yu asked if other people had daughters, Zhu Fei immediately looked at him with a worried expression.
Could it be that His Majesty has reverted to his old ways, even coveting the daughter of a rice merchant?
However, after a moment's thought, he shook his head.
“Shen Daqian only has one son and no daughters.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu frowned.
The only rice merchant in the capital with the surname Shen has no daughter, so what is the story behind Shen Jing?
After a moment of thought, Qin Yu finally raised his head.
"Zhu Fei, these next few days, have your men secretly investigate whether there is a woman named Shen Jing in the capital. Report to me immediately if you find any information."
Seeing Qin Yu's serious expression, Zhu Fei also perked up.
"We will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
Zhu Fei bowed respectfully.
Qin Yu nodded. To avoid arousing suspicion from the old scoundrel Sima Lie, he casually rewarded Zhu Fei with some things and then dismissed him.
"Silence! Northern Darkness Sect!"
After Zhu Fei left, Qin Yu looked at the ceiling of the study and couldn't help but mutter those two names.
For some reason, he vaguely felt that this tranquility was inextricably linked to the Northern Underworld Sect.
But he couldn't explain why he had this feeling.
...
Just as Qin Yu ordered an investigation into Shen Jing, in the Haitang Palace...
"Your Majesty, we've found it!"
Ruyan, dressed as a commoner, entered the Begonia Palace and then solemnly addressed Sima Jing, who was reviewing documents.
