Qi Xuansu had certainly heard of the Xuanhui Court of Palace Attendants, also known as the Court of Palace Attendants or the Xuanhui Court.0

He and Shi Bingyun had touched on this topic once while discussing efforts to reform public morality in the Imperial Capital. Shi Bingyun had said that there were two particularly striking reforms in terms of new policies between the Daoist Order and the Imperial Court—one targeting eunuchs and the other targeting prostitutes. The former was a violation against men, and the latter against women, which should be entirely abolished.0

Though Shi Bingyun had not mentioned the Xuanhui Court by name, Qi Xuansu understood what she was implying. Back when he was still at the Wanxiang Daoist Upper Palace, Xu Kou had already hinted to Qi Xuansu that he would be taking up a post in the Imperial Capital. Thus, Qi Xuansu studied the Great Xuan Penal Code in depth as he had anticipated dealings with various factions, including the Tianchen Division and the Xuanhui Court, among others. The Gen Garden library was vast and comprehensive, containing many internal secrets of the Daoist Order. Fortunately, he was on good terms with Elder Sun, who, upon hearing his reasons, generously gave him open access to this information.0

What Qi Xuansu had not expected was the issue of prostitutes...0
