After all, this is a shop frequented by the Imperial Guards. If they dare to vandalize it, they might offend the Imperial Guards, and their fate would be dire.
However, most people were thinking about what Zhu Fei had just said.
This contraceptive may seem immoral, but it is actually extremely useful.
With this, they can have affairs without worrying about having an illegitimate child.
Another group consisted of young men and women who were also getting restless.
With this, they no longer need to worry about getting carried away with their lovers and causing trouble when they meet.
So the group of people who had just been criticizing each other dispersed, each with their own thoughts.
"Sigh, this stuff just won't sell!"
Qingzhu, who was upstairs, shook her head when she saw this.
She had thought that Zhu Fei and the others would at least influence some people, but to her surprise, not a single person was interested.
"Sister Qingzhu, you wouldn't be hoping to lose to His Majesty so he'll make demands, would you?"
Seeing Qingzhu's disappointed look, a pretty woman next to her came over and asked Qingzhu with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu immediately playfully punched her with her small fist.
"Xiaomei, what nonsense are you talking about? I... I didn't mean for His Majesty to make any requests!"
Qingzhu blushed and quickly sat back down.
However, Xiaomei covered her mouth and giggled, looking as if she had seen through Qingzhu.
Just then, she glanced out the window.
She then showed a look of surprise.
"Qing... Sister Qingzhu, come and see quickly!"
Xiao Mei quickly called out.
However, Qingzhu simply hummed softly.
"Hmph, what are you up to now, you little brat?"
Seeing that Qingzhu thought she was playing a trick on her, Xiaomei became anxious and quickly pulled her to look out the window.
"Look!"
Qingzhu then looked down, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Two long queues had already formed downstairs, but what was strange was that these people were either covering their faces with cloths, wearing masks, or simply lifting up the hem of their clothes to cover their faces.
"What, what's going on?!"
Qingzhu was stunned.
"Could all these people be here to buy condoms?!"
The other people in the room also came over and asked in confusion.
Qingzhu hurriedly went downstairs to take a look, and sure enough, all these people were there to buy condoms.
Is this thing really that popular?
Qingzhu was dumbfounded.
She thought this product wouldn't sell much, but to her surprise, long queues formed as soon as it went on sale.
Meanwhile, the group of people queuing at the door were actually feeling a bit awkward.
Their original plan was to pretend to leave first, then come back secretly with their faces covered.
Unexpectedly, everyone thought of the same thing, which led to the current situation.
"Brother Li, you..."
At this moment, someone in the queue recognized their friend and immediately wanted to shout.
"Cough cough cough!"
The person who was pointed at immediately started coughing repeatedly.
The person who spoke then remembered that he had come to buy condoms, quickly shut his mouth, and pretended not to know anyone before joining the back of the line.
Those present were already used to this scene.
The scene in front of the Women's Life Hall quickly spread throughout the capital.
Upon learning that such a convenient and useful contraceptive existed, many men and women in the capital were intrigued.
That afternoon, the thousands of condoms Qin Yu had prepared in advance were sold out.
However, Qin Yu had anticipated that this item would become a hit, so he didn't stop the craftsmen from restocking.
The second day at the women's lifestyle center was even more popular than the first day, with many people feeling completely dependent on condoms after trying them.
In particular, those "lovesick men and women" in the capital city regarded contraceptive sleeves as a treasure.
Meanwhile, the major brothels spent lavishly, purchasing large quantities of contraceptives.
Although all the brothels had recipes for contraceptive soup, the soup would harm the girls' bodies, but this contraceptive sleeve was different.
With this, the girls in their brothels can take more customers.
...
While condoms were selling like hotcakes, in the imperial palace...
"Anfu, come with me for a stroll!"
After returning from the Empress's palace, Qin Yu wanted to see how well the contraceptive sleeves were selling, so he decided to make a secret visit.
Anfu was no longer surprised by his emperor's frequent incognito visits.
"yes!"
Anfu quickly made arrangements and followed Qin Yu out of the palace.
Before long, the group arrived at the Women's Life Hall.
To Qin Yu's surprise, the area in front of the Women's Lifestyle Center was not as bustling as it had been the previous two days.
Aside from a few women coming to buy skincare products like face masks, there were only about twenty people queuing at the condom counter.
"I heard these condoms are very popular, so why are there so few people buying them?"
Qin Yu asked, seemingly casually.
Upon hearing this, a man in the queue next to him suddenly laughed.
“Young master, contraceptives are used in bed, so not everyone is willing to buy them in person. We are contraceptive purchasing agents.”
After the man finished speaking, he patted the bag on his body.
Qin Yu then noticed that each of these people was carrying about ten bags, all of which were marked.
After figuring out what this proxy shopping was all about, Qin Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
He never imagined that condoms could spawn a profession of personal shopping agents.
However, this shows that the business of avoiding the use of condoms is indeed, as he thought, a long-term, highly profitable business.
Having confirmed this, Qin Yu did not linger at the Women's Life Hall and turned to head towards Shuiyun Pavilion.
Besides checking on the sales of contraceptive sleeves, his reason for leaving the palace was also to see Bai Ruyan.
He was deeply disappointed that he didn't get to see Bai Ruyan last time, and he couldn't afford to miss it again this time.
Seeing Qin Yu rushing towards Shuiyunjian again, Yin Dang and Wu Chi, who were in charge of monitoring him, couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
They usually stayed in the Jinyiwei military camp and couldn't even see a woman.
But every time they went out of the palace to monitor Qin Yu, they were able to enjoy a carefree time in the Shuiyun Pavilion.
In their eyes now, monitoring Qin Yu is the best job in the world.
The group soon arrived at Shuiyun Pavilion.
"Oh my, young master, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!"
Upon seeing Qin Yu, the madam of Shuiyun Pavilion immediately broke into a wide smile.
A young master as generous as Qin Yu is a rare find in the entire capital. Every day he doesn't come is a huge loss for Shuiyun Pavilion.
Even the courtesans who had no customers flocked over with shining eyes.
