He's probably lost hope of her ever getting married to anyone else, because she just scares all other men away

Actually, almost every single one of the people caught by Li Xuanjing was guilty of the crime they were accused of. Xuanjing just chose not to enforce the punishment of those crimes unless he specifically wanted to target that person, like a stalker that collects blackmail material. Probably the only time Xuanjing made up fabricated crimes to arrest people was when he arrested officials for extreme political interpretations of poetry.

Yep, the author has a serious foot fetish

Lol, looking at the end of the chapter, the rest of this sentence was "... unless you give me a kiss"

If he's blindfolded, how does he know which room he's in?

It's true, it's completely unnecessary for an official. However, music is one of the core facets of the Confucian path, and all officials are expected to be Confucian scholars, even if they're not actually allowed to properly cultivate the Confucian path. In addition, as explained in the earlier chapters, in the past it wasn't like this, and even if you were weak in other subjects, as long as you had one subject that you were good at, you could still pass the examinations and become an official. However, because the nobles are all corrupt and want to prevent the peasants from getting official titles, they changed the rules so that one had to be good at all six Confucian subjects at the same time to become an official. This made sure that only the richest people in the country could even afford to teach their children all these subjects, let alone have them pass the examination and become an advanced scholar.
