Qi Luobai brought Shi Feng to the courtyard of Qiao Mu next door, where several people were already seated in the front hall.

After washing up, Qian You changed into a comfortable white dress and sat in the main seat. On one side was Qiao Mu in a green shirt, and on the other side was Qiao Nan who was still in a black suit. She had arrived at the mansion a few days earlier to coordinate things with Qiao Mu.

The new faces sitting on the chairs on both sides should be the people in charge of Nanqi Qianmai Palace.

"Luo Bai, we have discussed that even in the mansion, you should change your name first to avoid gossip.

"Okay, from now on I will be called Jin Lin."

"Well, Jinlin is not something that can be kept in a pond. Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will transform into a dragon."

Qian You nodded in approval.

Qiao Mu glanced at everyone and said to Qi Luobai.

"Let me introduce the people in charge of Nanqi Qianmai Palace. They are Tang Yichen, the person in charge of Tianyi Restaurant and Jade Shop, Gu Chuan, the person in charge of the Dark Hall, and Zheng Heshun, the person in charge of the Escort Agency. The clinic has not started yet, and the music studio is an important part of this operation. Qian You will be in charge personally."

"Very good, everyone, please introduce the local situation."

Several leaders have not yet recovered from the shock of seeing Qian You.

They all knew that the Qianmai Palace system was huge, and that the young master was the real person in power behind the scenes, but they didn't know that it was such an extremely beautiful woman, and judging by her age, she had just reached the age of marriage. You can imagine how shocked they were.

Everyone was talking excitedly, introducing what they had learned about Nanqi, including the sphere of influence of Qianmai Palace's various industries in Nanqi.

Qi Luobai listened quietly, feeling deeply impressed by the profound hidden power of Qianmai Palace.

In more than a year, Tianyi Restaurant and Jade Shop have become top-notch restaurants in Nanqi.

Just like Dongcang, the restaurant was packed with customers, with dining reservations having to wait half a month for appointments to be made. The auctions held every ten days made a fortune every day, especially the sale of elixirs, which were hard to come by.

Jade shops have become a source of bragging rights for the nobles of Nanqi, who are all proud to be able to wear personalized ornaments.

Nanqi's escort agency can be perfectly connected with Dongcang Xiling. Merchants who rely on trade to sell goods would rather spend more money and choose Qianmai Escort Agency as their first choice, as it is definitely fast and secure.

Needless to say, as long as it complies with the rules of Qianmai Palace, there is no business that cannot be done. The reputation is firmly established within a year and becomes an absolute manifestation of strength in the world.

The one thousand people that Qian You brought this time were all incorporated into the Dark Hall, and one day they will become the sharpest knives.

......

After they broke up at Rizhao Peak, Xiuzhu still followed in the dark.

Qian You knew that he was always passing messages to Cang Yu and never interfered.

After receiving the news of the danger that Xiuzhu had reported late last time, Cangyu sent another team of imperial palace secret guards, a total of one hundred people, and brought a stern letter to warn Xiuzhu that the top priority was to protect Qianyou's safety, and if she was in the slightest danger, she must be reported immediately.

In more than two months, the Dongcang court has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Everyone worked hard to govern the country, and those who flattered others faded out of sight. Those who remained in the court were down-to-earth and practical people. There was no more struggle for power or factional disputes, and there was harmony inside and outside the court.

The most miserable people are Sheng Xiaoge and Jing Zhan.

A large number of reform measures were implemented, and the Ministry of Households became an economic hub.

For Sheng Xiaoge, he could manage the industries of Beibohou Mansion with ease, but when it came to taking charge of the economic power of the entire country, the person he missed the most was Qiao Mu. This should be Qiao Mu's job!

After going through an uneasy transition period, Jing Zhan was chosen as the top scholar, entered the secretary desk, and was kept by the new emperor's side all day long.

Outsiders all envied and envied his new life, but only he knew that the new emperor seemed to be draining his time and energy.

It was clearly agreed that the task would be completed in three days, but the new emperor wanted the results in one day.

He was busy all day and had no time to care about his image as a gentleman. He hurried on his own initiative without waiting for the new emperor to urge him.

He lamented every day, wondering if the new emperor was forcing him to do this, trying to race against time with God?

What does he want to do?

......

After nearly two months of running around, Qian You and the others finally relaxed as they had their own territory for the first time.

"I just saw that on the prosperous road in Nanqi, there are indeed many singing and dancing halls as you said. It is much more special than other countries. Is this the possible opportunity you mentioned?"

After dinner, Qian You and his companions sat in the front hall drinking tea and continuing to discuss the subsequent action plan.

"After I came here, I discovered this special thing and made a special effort to inquire about it. The information I got so far is that the current emperor was originally the ninth uncle of the emperor. He loved singing, dancing and playing musical instruments. Every year around his birthday, he would hold several dance competitions to select the best group of music troupes to perform dance and music. This tradition has been going on for nearly ten years."

Qiao Mu looked at Qi Luobai, as if seeking confirmation.

"Yes, everyone in Nanqi knows that the Ninth Prince loves music and dance, so there are many music houses here. If you are lucky enough to be selected to dance for the Regent's Palace, it is a great honor for the music house. However, over the years, Hongxiaoyuan has been the only one that has been selected every year, so there are many rumors in the market about whether the Regent likes dancing or likes Hongniangzi."

Although Qi Luobai is not very old, his memories of the past ten years are still very clear.

He had attended the birthday parties at the Ninth Uncle's residence more than once, and he felt that the dances performed by the carefully selected music troupe were more lively than those in the palace.

"Hong Xiaoyuan? Lady Hong? Has anyone of you seen this person?"

Qian You inquired.

"I haven't seen her. Her identity is a mystery. She is the master behind Hong Xiao Yuan. It is said that she is not among the dancers every time."

Tang Yichen and others shook their heads.

They have been here for more than a year and have never seen this person. During this period, they have made in-depth inquiries based on this idea, but have not received any valuable information.

"I heard my mother mention this person. I was still young at that time and wasn't interested in gossips. But because of this person, my father and mother had some conflicts, so I have some impression of him."

Qi Luobai was thinking deeply, trying hard to find his long-lost memories.

"About ten years ago, when the Ninth Prince was about 25, he insisted on divorcing his wife.

The princess was chosen for him by his mother, the queen mother. She was Zhao Wan'er, the youngest daughter of Duke Zhao. She was a gentle and elegant woman. Not long after entering the palace, she gave birth to a son for the Ninth Prince. She had excellent moral character and there was no fault to be found in her. Everyone liked this aunt of the Ninth Prince very much.

But at that time, the Ninth Prince seemed to be crazy and openly asked for permission to separate.

When his father asked him the reason, he kept silent.

Finally, the queen mother got angry and insisted on not allowing the couple to separate.

My father felt sorry for his younger brother, but he didn't dare to disobey my mother. For a while, the atmosphere in the palace was very unhappy.

Because I was still young, I didn't pay much attention to this matter.

When he was a little older, he occasionally heard rumors in the palace that the Ninth Prince had fallen in love with a woman and was reluctant to let her become his concubine, so he was planning to divorce his wife and remarry.

Later, there were rumors that the woman was very chivalrous and not a lady of the boudoir. She traveled around the world, loved singing and dancing, and founded her own music troupe, which is the Hongxiaoyuan that has been popular in recent years.

People call her Red Lady. It is said that she is not only an excellent dancer, but also an invincible martial artist. She is also extremely beautiful and it is difficult to tell whether she is male or female. There are even rumors that she is sometimes male and sometimes female. Until now, no one knows what her true identity is.

"Oh? So, Lady Hong is still a remarkable woman."

Qian You suddenly became interested.
