The Great Wei Music Bureau

Last time we talked about Li Yi subduing Bai Ling, and Nangong Xue and Liu Ruyun have been chatting and talking about the past. Let’s see what they will say next.

Liu Ruyun and Nangong Xue stayed quietly for a while, each with their own thoughts. Liu Ruyun thought of her best sister, and Nangong Xue tried to recall her mother in her memory. They began to talk about Han Yue'er and the past, and the scene was very warm. After chatting for a long time, Liu Ruyun suggested: "Xue'er, let me help you wash your hair. In the past, my sister often held me in the water and washed my hair. Now I have to get it back!"

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Okay, but please be gentle, Aunt Yun. Xue'er doesn't want to put her whole head in the water."

The next scene changed, Nangong Xue was sitting in front of the dressing table, Liu Ruyun was combing her hair with a comb, her hair was long and like a waterfall, reaching her waist, Liu Ruyun said as she combed her hair, "Xue'er, you are so beautiful, you will be a bargain for the little emperor in the future."

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Brother Jun is also very good-looking."

"Brother Jun? Tuoba Jun? Have you seen the little emperor?"

Nangong Xue nodded and said, "Brother Jun often came to visit our house before he ascended the throne. I was still young at that time, and we got to know each other then. Brother Jun even joked that it would be the most beautiful thing in the world if anyone could marry me in the future."

Liu Ruyun suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "Which other prince have you met?"

Nangong Xue said: "The former crown prince Tuoba Hong."

Liu Ruyun nodded and said, "As expected, your father has long used you as a bargaining chip and bet on you. If I am not mistaken, if Tuoba Hong is not dead and successfully ascends the throne to become the emperor, then you will marry him."

Nangong Xue said: "Maybe, I don't have much impression of Tuoba Hong, I just remember him as a handsome big brother."

Liu Ruyun sighed, "I have seen Tuoba Hong, he is not bad, he feels similar to Dugu Long, but he is much more stable than Dugu Long in his conduct and behavior, I quite like him. If you can marry Tuoba Hong, I would be very happy, but as for this Tuoba Jun, I have never seen him, so I won't say anything."

Nangong Xue said: "Brother Jun was very good to me. Every time he came to the mansion, he would bring me some delicious and fun things. But after he went to Tianzong to practice, we didn't see each other again."

Liu Ruyun asked with a smile: "So do you like that boy Tuoba Jun?"

Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "Like it? I don't know, I can only say that I have a good impression of it."

Liu Ruyun smiled and said, "So you have a crush on me? That's good. I was worried that you would force yourself to do things you don't want to do after you marry into the imperial palace. It seems that my worry is unnecessary."

Nangong Xue turned around and looked at Liu Ruyun and asked, "Does a good impression count as a favorable impression? Aunt Yun, I don't understand the relationship between men and women, but I have a good impression of Li Yi, right? Does this count as a favorable impression?"

Liu Ruyun immediately tensed up and asked, "Li Yi? How come you have a good impression of that kid Li Yi? Don't be fooled by that kid. He can do nothing except compose poems and sing songs! He is just a show-off!"

Nangong Xue smiled calmly and said, "Aunt Yun, what are you thinking? What I mean is that I feel that I have a good impression of you, but I can't say that I have a good impression of you. I also have a good impression of Brother Dugu Long."

Liu Ruyun relaxed a little and said, "Oh, then your good impression does not mean you have a good impression of him. Dugu Long is a black boy with nothing to offer except his skills! His behavior is extremely bad! When he was a kid, he stole my test papers and made me press him on the table and spank him! He is just like his unruly father!"

Nangong Xue pressed Liu Ruyun on the stool and took the comb to comb her hair. Liu Ruyun smiled and sat up straight, letting Nangong Xue untie her hairpin. Nangong Xue said as she combed her hair, "Well, Aunt Yun is the best. There must not be many people in our Wei who have spanked Big Brother Long. Apart from his parents, I'm afraid Aunt Yun is the only one."

Liu Ruyun smiled proudly and said, "That's right. Back then, your aunt Yun was also a powerful figure in Shangjing City. She was no worse than Li Yi!"

"Li Yi? Aunt Yun, what do you think of Li Yi?"

Liu Ruyun became alert again, thought for a moment and said, "If we talk about literary talent, I'm afraid there are not many people in the Wei Dynasty who can surpass him. However, this kid's character is not very good. Although he is not greedy for money, he is lustful. Look, he came to my Liumoxuan to work as a musician for a few days and abducted my favorite sister! When he arrived in Shangjing City, he even tricked an Oiran into his hands! He is really a pervert! All men are like this!"

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Mr. Li is extremely talented, and is indeed a great talent of the time. I have heard the poems and music he wrote after arriving in the capital, and they are all top-notch works. As for his character, I just saw him coaxing that Sister Bailing downstairs, and it seems that he is indeed not very upright."

Liu Ruyun nodded and said, "That's right! If a man like him didn't have a powerful wife to restrain him, I don't know how many women he would harm. It's a good thing that he got to know me. If it was someone else, once I found out that he did something wrong, I would definitely stab him to death with a sword to prevent him from harming the world!"

Nangong Xue chuckled and said, "Aunt Yun, from the tone of your voice, has he ever teased you before?"

Liu Ruyun nodded and said, "That's right. I wrote two songs to make fun of the past events. But it's nothing. I got my face back afterwards."

"Oh? How did Aunt Yun do it?"

"Of course I frightened him! I hung an ice sword over his head, forced him to express his aspirations in poetry, and then drove him out of Liumoxuan."

"Expressing his aspirations through poetry? What kind of poetry did he write?"

Liu Ruyun recited Li Yi's poem to express his aspirations. Nangong Xue murmured to herself after listening to it, "'Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history. The country is waiting for me, Li Yi, to emerge and lead the trend for hundreds of years.' He is quite arrogant, isn't he?"

Liu Ruyun turned around and looked at Nangong Xue who was talking to herself while holding a comb, and quickly interrupted her, "Hey! That's not right! Xue'er, the look in your eyes is wrong! Stop it!"

Nangong Xue asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Liu Ruyun said sternly: "The look in your eyes is the same as the one Bailing had when she mentioned that kid Li Yi! There must be something wrong! Xue'er, you are not attracted to Li Yi, are you? This is absolutely not possible! You are going to marry into the palace. Compared with the little emperor, Li Yi is nothing! Don't be stupid!"

Nangong Xue asked again: "The same look as Sister Bailing? Aunt Yun? Is this called love? Is this the love between a man and a woman?"

Liu Ruyun explained: "This is not liking, nor is it love between men and women. This can only be called admiration, and it is a beginning. Once a woman has this kind of feeling, it is like planting a seed in the soil. Soon the seed will take root and sprout, and grow into a towering tree. At that time, it is love between men and women, and it is love! My silly girl, hurry up! Get rid of this idea! Don't fall for that thief!"

However, Liu Ruyun did not know that the first petal of the hibiscus bud in Nangong Xue's heart had already opened, and the seeds of love had been planted in her heart, waiting for a spring rain to nourish it and it would take root and sprout. She just didn't know when the spring rain that moistened everything silently would reach Nangong Xue's heart.

At this time, Liu Ruyun picked up a fan and fanned Nangong Xue, saying, "Xue'er, don't scare Aunt Yun. We must not fall in love with that kid Li Yi! He is really not a good guy! Xue'er, think about the little emperor, your handsome brother, the dignified Emperor of Wei, handsome, and everything else is thousands of times better than that Li Yi, except for talent, don't be stupid!"

Nangong Xue's face flushed a little. She touched her face, closed her eyes, and used the ruthless sword heart to get rid of all distracting thoughts. Finally, she recovered as before. Seeing this, Liu Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Fortunately, you have the ruthless sword heart. I was scared to death. I was scared to death."

Nangong Xue smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Yun, don't panic. With Wuqing Jianxin here, any emotion can be suppressed. Don't worry that I will be trapped by love."

"Oh, that's good, that's great. I'm really afraid that you'll be fooled by that thief Li Yi. Xue'er, just think about it slowly. Li Yi is a lecher! He will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future, and he will be surrounded by beauties. We won't get close to him!"

Nangong Xue said calmly: "Doesn't the emperor also have three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties? What's the difference?"

"How can you compare Li Yi with the emperor! The emperor has many concubines because of special circumstances."

"What special situation?"

"In order to have more sons, we can choose the most suitable candidate to succeed the throne in the future! Of course we should have more children, and then choose the best one." Liu Ruyun felt uncomfortable listening to what she said. How could a woman like her find excuses for a man's love? She quickly changed the subject and said, "Anyway, no matter what, you can't fall in love with Li Yi. Anyone is fine. You don't have to marry the emperor, but you can't marry Li Yi!"

Nangong Xue smiled and nodded, "Xue'er knows. Aunt Yun is doing this for Xue'er's own good. I understand."

"Well, I understand. I understand. It's good. It's getting late. Let's go to bed. You can sleep in the same bed with me. I will tell you about your mother's childhood!" Nangong Xue nodded...

The next day, Li Yi woke up Bai Ling who was beside him. Bai Ling saw that Li Yi and he were being honest with each other. Bai Ling hurriedly got up and put on her dress. She blushed and sat in front of the dressing table to cover the kiss mark on her neck with rouge and powder. However, no matter how much powder she put on, she couldn't hide the blush. She said with shame and anger, "You bad guy, are you sincere? How can I go out and meet people like this?"

Li Yi said indifferently: "You are mine now, who else do you want to see? Just see me!"

"Bah! You're a filthy bastard! You only care about your own pleasure and don't care about the lives of others at all! You're annoying!"

Li Yi still spoke in a gangster tone: "That's not what you said last night. What did you yell last night? Li Lang, no..."

Bai Ling rushed over and covered Li Yi's mouth with her hand. The blush on her face had spread to her ears. She said sternly: "If you say anything else, I will jump down from here!" Li Yi pushed Bai Ling's hand away and said with a sly smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. What else do you want to say now?"

Bai Ling cursed: "All men are bad!"

Li Yi had a smug look on his face, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, you're right, is there anything else?"

"And I will never talk to you again!" Li Yi smiled and hugged Bailing into his arms and said gently: "Okay, stop making trouble, there is something important to do."

Bai Ling turned around and looked at Li Yi and asked, "You? What business can you have?"

Li Yi said, "I wrote a song specifically for you. I want you to sing it at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Bai Ling couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of song can be sung at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? Was it written specifically for me?"

Li Yi said: "Well, it suits your heavenly voice."

Bai Ling asked curiously, "Then please play it for me to hear!"

Li Yi stood up to get his guitar, and Bailing threw clothes over to him and said coquettishly, "Put on your clothes first!"

Li Yi first wrote the score of the song "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon" and played it for Bailing, and taught her opera and coloratura soprano singing. Bailing didn't want to go out, so she practiced in her room. Li Yi first visited his old friends Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo in the courtyard. After lunch in the courtyard, Li Yi went to find Xiao Ye. After asking around, he found out that Xiao Ye was now a wealthy woman. Her lingerie store was doing very well, but she was very busy every day.

Li Yi arrived at the door of Xiao Ye's shop. On the plaque was written the words "Shuyiguan". A guard stood at the door and a sign stood next to it that read "Women are allowed in, men are not allowed in". Li Yi looked at the sign and then at the guard. Women came into the shop from time to time. After waiting for a long time, Xiao Ye did not come out. He had no choice but to step forward and salute the guard and said, "Big brother, could you please tell Miss Ye'er that her brother is here to see her for something?"

The guard looked at Li Yi and said, "I can't pass on this message, and I can't enter this door. I'm just responsible for guarding the door, and I'm not responsible for anything else."

This made Li Yi very embarrassed. He regretted not bringing Bailing with him. Now he was in a dilemma. Li Yi was lingering at the door. The guard looked annoyed and said, "Go away, go somewhere else. Don't hang around in front of me! You're making me dizzy! If you really need to see Miss Ye'er, come back after closing time!"

Just when Li Yi was at a loss, Huayu and Ruolan from Liu Moxuan came to buy underwear. Li Yi asked them to help pass the message. After a while, Xiaoye came out to greet Li Yi. The latter pointed at the sign and didn't want to go in. Xiaoye closed the store early and sent the buyers away. Only then did Li Yi enter the store.

Li Yi used a lot of words to persuade Xiao Ye to go to Shangjing City with him. Xiao Ye was unwilling to leave because of her mother. Li Yi naturally understood Xiao Ye's filial piety and promised that Xiao Ye could take her mother to Shangjing City and help Xiao Ye open a store in Shangjing City. In addition, Li Yi also asked Xiao Ye to go to Qingzhou City with him to understand the grievances between them and Yuwen Ye. Xiao Ye agreed to Li Yi and promised that as long as Li Yi helped her get revenge, she would listen to Li Yi in the future.

In short, Li Yi successfully brought Xiao Ye into his team, of course as a fashion designer. That night, Li Yi and his friends from Qing'an City had a drink together. When they were happy, they sang a few songs from the concert. Everyone had a great time. Li Yi also drank too much, and Bailing helped him back to his room...
