Chapter 930

It was just that, whether consciously or accidentally, not a single person went to invite Chaoyun and Muyu, that pair of twins.

Qin Mu discovered this, but he didn't care and didn't bring it up.

This impromptu gathering, initiated by chance, was treated by the twelve noble ladies as an excellent opportunity to showcase themselves.

One by one, they took turns performing new songs they had written or dances they had choreographed. After finishing, they would come over to surround Qin Mu, enthusiastically feeding him fruit or giving him massages.

Since receiving guidance from Empress Zhangsun last time, they had already begun to strengthen their sense of competition.

Now, they did everything with a sense of urgent crisis.

"Your Majesty, tell me, are the grapes I fed you sweeter, or are the dates she fed you sweeter?"

"Your Majesty, look at my shoulder here, I was bitten by a mosquito, it's so itchy."

"Your Majesty, I braided my hair like this today; I can also use the braid to give you a massage, shall I try?"

"Your Majesty, this is the osmanthus wine I brewed myself, have a taste. If it's good, you can come to my palace to drink it another day."

This round of service made Qin Mu frown.

He liked girls to be a bit enthusiastic, but he couldn't stand so many girls being enthusiastic all at once.

Who could handle this?

"All of you, go over there! When I need service, I will call for you myself."

In one stroke, he dismissed all twelve of these noble ladies.

Li Xueyan and Wu Meiniang covered their mouths and giggled at the sight.

But this provoked a dissatisfied look from Qin Mu.

"Are these tricks all taught by you?"

"Husband, we are wronged! We don't even understand these things ourselves. We just thought that since Your Majesty works hard every day, relaxing like this would actually be quite nice."

Qin Mu was somewhat speechless.

Relaxation shouldn't be done this way.

This was clearly more tiring!

At this moment, Empress Zhangsun suddenly spoke up.

"Mu'er, I taught them these tricks. They saw that you had been obsessed with Chaoyun and Muyu, and they were unwilling to accept it.

They are all young ladies from noble families with prestigious status, yet they were overshadowed by two girls who came from a brothel.

You can understand the sense of loss in their hearts, right?"

Regarding this matter, Qin Mu really had nothing to say; it was all just based on feeling.

It was just that he felt more relaxed and comfortable with Chaoyun and Muyu's company.

The names of Chaoyun and Muyu were mentioned for the first time today.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly began to fill with awkwardness...

It seemed as if these two names were some kind of taboo.

Qin Mu was somewhat dissatisfied.

Empress Zhangsun couldn't be considered meddlesome, but her perspective was wrong!

Everyone's perspective was wrong!

"The biggest flaw of you noble family children is that you always feel superior to others!

By what right do you look down on Chaoyun and Muyu?

In my eyes, those two sisters have much more spirit than you do!

Reflect on yourselves! When it comes to dealing with people, you still have a long way to go!"

After saying this, Qin Mu flicked his sleeves and left.

If it weren't for these women acting so cleverly, Qin Mu would not have wanted to lose his temper.

Regarding the issue of status, he had already spoken about it once before.

Unfortunately, even Empress Zhangsun, after so long, still hadn't understood it.

Qin Mu turned around and simply went to the palace dungeon.

The palace dungeon usually only held some eunuchs and palace maids who had made mistakes.

It could be said that once they entered this dungeon, they were considered finished.

Occasionally, some special high-profile criminals would also be locked in.

Today was one of those days.

As soon as Qin Mu entered, he heard the screams of a prisoner undergoing torture.

It was precisely that fortune-telling Daoist priest, Huang Xuanzi.

Qin Mu walked up to him.

"I will only ask once, think carefully before you answer. What is your purpose in coming to Great Qin?"

Huang Xuanzi kept his head down, blood foam still flowing from his mouth.

His mouth moved, but in the end, he said nothing.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Mu knew that there was indeed some conspiracy.

It was just that because he had concerns in his heart, he dared not speak.

"Actually, no matter what your purpose is, now that you've been caught, it's destined to be unachievable. Since you don't want to talk, I won't force you. You can just stay in this cell until you die!" Qin Mu didn't want to kill Huang Xuanzi for the time being.

He had a premonition that keeping this person would be useful in the future.

After speaking, he turned to leave.

At this moment, Huang Xuanzi suddenly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I have no purpose, I really am just a fortune teller."

Qin Mu ignored him, gave a few instructions to the prison warden, and left.

What Huang Xuanzi said was definitely a lie!

But at least it proved that he had other backing.

If you don't believe me, we'll just wait and see in the future.
