Become the beloved pet of the villain tyrant

Chapter 131 What's wrong with your sister?
Back in the palace, Jiang Chujiu started to recruit musicians.

It is not necessary for them to enter the palace for the first test. After all, there are too many applicants, so they are screened at Qumingfang outside the palace.

Qu Ming Fang is a well-known music hall in the capital, and it is the most suitable place for the first test.

Moreover, Chu Yunwan has been working on this matter since the first test.

Although she didn't need to stare at him from the first test, it was Chu Yunwan's own intention.

With Chu Yunwan presenting the whole process, Jiang Chujiu can worry less.

After all, there was no plan to recruit musicians from the very beginning, and after returning from the Xunhuan Building, the notice was issued the next day, and there were many things that needed to be perfected and decided.

Jiang Chujiu was busy with the process of the final competition in the palace, and Chu Yunwan was also busy in Qumingfang.

However, when Chu Yunwan was outside, Shen Mocun was there to pick him up and protect him throughout the process.

It was also for this reason that Jiang Chujiu was willing to hand over the affairs of Qumingfang to Chu Yunwan.

Although the responsibility has become arduous, but at the same time it can cultivate the relationship between Chu Yunwan and Shen Mocun.

Killing two birds with one stone.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to enter the palace to make the final decision.

There were more than a hundred people who signed up at the beginning, but after more than half a month of competition, only about fifteen people were left to enter the palace for the final competition.

These 15 people will enter the palace one day in advance, which can be regarded as giving them time to adapt to the palace, and at the same time can ensure that the next day's competition can proceed smoothly.

The weather in November is already very cold.

Jiang Chujiu is also afraid of the cold, so he put on the cloak early on.

The cloak is not very thick, but it is indeed very windproof.

The location of the competition in the palace is Qingyue Pavilion, where the musicians in the palace gather.

Since Lu Ming ascended the throne, there has been no change of musicians in the palace, so this election of musicians is also full of curiosity and expectation for these musicians in the palace.

Originally, Lu Ming didn't intend to participate in this matter, but he couldn't resist Jiang Chujiu explaining the truth to him.

What to say, it's fine if you didn't show up at the beginning, but now it's the day of the final decision, how can you not show up?

Therefore, Lu Ming also came to Qingle Pavilion.

Before the 15 people entered the palace, Chu Yunwan showed Jiang Chujiu their list.

Jiang Chujiu also saw the names of the two sisters An Ci and Le Ci in it.

In Qingyue Pavilion, Jiang Chujiu, Lu Ming, Chu Yunwan, and the chief executives who spoke in Qingyue Pavilion have all arrived, and the musicians who participated in the final competition have also been waiting outside Qingyue Pavilion for a long time.

The steward opened his mouth to remind: "Your Majesty, it's almost time."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

After taking charge of the order, he left Qingle Pavilion.

When he came back again, the group of young musicians followed behind him.

Every five people stood in a row. There should have been three rows, but in the last row, there was one person vacant.

Jiang Chujiu frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is missing?"

The manager hurried forward and replied: "Responding to Mr. Jiang's words, the name of the absent person is An Ci. Her instrument is damaged, so she loses the qualification for the competition."

At this time, Le Ci, who was standing in the first row, knelt on the ground with a plop, bent down, knocked his forehead on the ground, and didn't lift it up again.

"Please Your Majesty and Your Excellency make decisions for my sister!"

Jiang Chujiu knew that Le Ci's temper was soft because she was well protected by An Ci.

It is not difficult to see this from the reactions of the two sisters, An Ci and Le Ci, in the Xun Huan Building last time.

Now An Ci has lost the qualification for the competition for unknown reasons, but Le Ci's ability to stand up at this time just shows that there is something hidden in it.

"What happened to your sister?"

Jiang Chujiu asked.

Le Ci only felt familiar when he heard this voice, but he just couldn't remember where he heard it.

But at this time, Le Ci didn't have the heart to care so much, she still maintained this posture, and said: "Returning to your lord, I... my little sister's Guqin was cut off with a knife, and I will go there when I wake up in the morning. I adjusted the tone of the guqin, but just after trying the tone, the strings broke immediately."

Jiang Chujiu probably understood what Le Ci meant, and she asked again: "Where is your sister now?"

"Sister, she lost the qualification to compete and was kicked out of the palace!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chujiu looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming glanced sideways at Zhang Shi, and said indifferently, "Send someone to look for it."

"Yes!"

The manager hurriedly ordered his servants to find Anci, and then returned to Qingle Pavilion.

"Have you investigated this matter?" Jiang Chujiu looked at the manager and asked.

"Master Hui Jiang, there is a rule in the rules that participants must bring their own musical instruments. If the musical instrument is damaged, they will naturally be disqualified, so..."

"So you didn't investigate and expelled the person whose instrument was damaged from the palace?"

The manager lowered his head, not daring to answer.

They don't dare to take this responsibility. If the selection of the final musicians is delayed due to a small matter of prospective musicians and His Majesty is angered, this is a responsibility that none of them can afford!
Jiang Chujiu also figured out the reason for this, so she didn't say anything more to the manager. Specifically, she had to wait for Anci to come back and make further inquiries before making any plans.

"Stop kneeling, get up first."

Seeing that Le Ci was still kneeling and motionless, Jiang Chujiu asked her to stand up.

Hearing this, Le Ci stood up after expressing her thanks.

When he looked up and saw Lu Ming and Jiang Chujiu, he was stunned for a moment.

These two are not...

But before she could form an idea, the director said, "Bold! Are you able to look directly at Your Majesty and Lord Jiang like this!"

Hearing the words in charge, An Ci hurriedly lowered his head, staring at the toes of his shoes, pinching the front of his clothes with both hands, tightening his strength nervously and feeling very uneasy.

Jiang Chujiu turned her head sideways and asked Chu Yunwan in a low voice: "Xiao Wan, what do you think of the abilities of these two sisters?"

Chu Yunwan nodded slightly, and replied softly: "The two of them are very strong, and I had great confidence in them at first, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

As she said that, Chu Yunwan's eyes were also stained with worry.

Jiang Chujiu hummed: "Then let's talk about it after Anci is found."

Chu Yunwan was a little surprised: "Chu Jiu, how do you know that An Ci belongs to your sister?"

Jiang Chujiu paused, and replied: "...I will explain this matter to you after this competition is over."

Chu Yunwan didn't insist, so he nodded and stopped asking.

Not long after, An Ci followed the maid to Qingle Pavilion.

And in her arms, she was still holding the broken Guqin.
