After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 123 I couldn't resist listening to your voice.

Upon hearing Nan Ke's words, Xiao Beiming frowned.

"Those women didn't like you because they had bad taste. I'll find you a better woman."

Xiao Beiming spoke to Nan Ke with a serious expression, and Nan Ke smiled upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The newlyweds are absolutely forbidden from seeing each other for three days before the wedding, as it is considered unlucky.

Xiao Beiming and Luo Chujiu strictly adhered to this rule, suppressing their desire to see each other and patiently awaiting their wedding day.

On the eve of her wedding, Luo Chujiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

Similarly, Xiao Beiming couldn't sleep either.

"Xiao Jiu, are you asleep?"

Upon suddenly hearing Xiao Beiming's voice, Luo Chujiu thought she was hallucinating. Then she heard a knock on the door. Luo Chujiu sat up abruptly, got out of bed, and tried to open the door.

"Xiao Jiu, don't open the door. We can't meet for the first three days."

Xiao Beiming stopped Luo Chujiu from opening the door, and Luo Chujiu stopped moving when she heard his words.

"Brother Beiming, is there something you need to see me about so late?"

"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I wanted to hear your voice." Xiao Beiming chuckled, realizing he'd finally met his match.

"Actually, I also have some trouble sleeping."

Luo Chujiu chuckled. It was just a wedding, but she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep at all.

"Xiao Jiu, tomorrow is our wedding day. Is there anything you need me to do? I will definitely do it for you."

Luo Chujiu was stunned when she heard Xiao Beiming say that. After thinking for a moment, she seemed to have no other requests.

"I want you to never betray me, and to stand by me no matter what happens. Can you do that?"

Luo Chu asked Xiao Beiming through the window.

Xiao Beiming pondered for a moment and then put forward a premise:
"As long as it does not harm the interests of the Nanzhao Kingdom and its people, I will stand by your side unconditionally."

Luo Chujiu was already quite satisfied with this:
"Alright, you must remember what you said. If you ever break your promise, you will suffer a fate worse than death."

Luo Chujiu was never good at sweet talk, but she could easily come up with threats and warnings.

Xiao Beiming didn't seem to mind Luo Chujiu's lack of romantic understanding at all, as if he had been mentally prepared for her behavior all along.

"Okay, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"It's getting late, Brother Beiming. You have to come to fetch the bride tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early."

"Alright, Xiao Jiu, get some rest too. Tomorrow, I will come to marry you."

"it is good."

After saying that, Luo Chujiu heard Xiao Beiming's departing voice, and then returned to her bed.

Perhaps because of Xiao Beiming's promise, or perhaps because she was truly exhausted, Luo Chujiu fell asleep quickly after lying down on the bed and slept soundly until dawn.

The next morning, Feiyun knocked on the door and woke Luo Chujiu up, then helped her with her hair and makeup.

The royal blue wedding dress was brought over early on, and after Luo Chujiu had washed and dressed, she was dressed in the wedding dress and her hair was styled into a high bun.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Luo Chujiu felt like she didn't even resemble herself anymore. She was far from being such a lady.

"Feiyun, I feel like this hairstyle looks a bit awkward. Could you change it to my previous one?"

"No, Miss! This hairstyle absolutely cannot be changed. It's called the 'Hundred Years of Harmony' hairstyle, and only on the occasion of marriage can a woman wear this hairstyle. Please bear with it. If you still want the previous hairstyle after today, I will style it for you again."

Fei Yun spoke to Luo Chujiu almost in a coaxing tone.

Luo Chujiu looked helpless. Fine, since she'd already said so, it would be too rebellious of her to insist. Anyway, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience; she'd just have to bear with it!

It took about an hour to complete the makeup and hair.

"Miss, the Prince should have arrived by now. Please wait a moment."

Fei Yun comforted Luo Chu Jiu, and Luo Chu Jiu looked up at her:

"I'm not in a hurry."

Seeing that Luo Chujiu was still putting on a brave face, Feiyun couldn't help but laugh. Oh well, if Miss says she's not in a hurry, then she's not in a hurry.

Xiao Beiming rode a black horse, followed by a very large wedding procession, and arrived at the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.

"Xiao Beiming has come to marry Princess Xiao. We hope the Imperial Advisor will allow him to proceed."

Xiao Beiming dismounted and came to the gate, bowing to Nalan Qingyin and his other senior brothers, hoping they would not make things difficult for his wedding procession.

They had already agreed that the wedding would be conducted in a civilized manner; all Xiao Beiming needed to do was loudly promise to be loyal to Luo Chujiu, and they would let him in.

Xiao Beiming showed no pressure in response, took the paper that the Imperial Advisor had written in advance, and read it aloud, with the onlookers and guests outside the door serving as witnesses:
"I, Xiao Beiming, today take Luo Chujiu as my wife. I will be faithful to her for the rest of my life, never take a concubine, never abandon her, and never betray her because of doubt. I only wish to grow old with Luo Chujiu and never be separated from her."

"Excellent! Prince Xiao, what a spirit you possess! You truly live up to the reputation of the Nanzhao royal family!"

Nalan Qingyin looked at the other senior brothers, and seeing that they all nodded in satisfaction, she let Xiao Beiming in.

Xiao Beiming strode straight in and arrived at Luo Chujiu's boudoir.

Luo Chujiu could hear their noisy voices from afar.

"Miss, the Prince is outside. You should get ready."

Luo Chujiu nodded, stood up, put on a pearl headdress, held a round fan, and was then helped to the threshold.

"Xiao Jiu, I've come to marry you."

When Xiao Beiming saw Luo Chujiu, he was amazed and it took him a long time to say these words.

"Well, I see."

Upon seeing this, Nalan Qingyin squatted down in front of the threshold, and he carried Luo Chujiu from her boudoir to the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Then, Xiao Beiming carried Luo Chujiu to the bridal sedan chair.

With the help of Fei Yun and others, Luo Chujiu was carried tightly on Nalan Qingyin's back. With each step, Nalan Qingyin was filled with emotion.

Today, he himself carried his junior sister to the bridal sedan chair, hoping that she and his fifth junior brother would live a harmonious and loving life together.

Inside the Imperial Preceptor's residence, all the servants watched Luo Chujiu get married. During the time Luo Chujiu lived in the Imperial Preceptor's residence, all the servants treated Luo Chujiu as Nalan Qingyin's own daughter. Seeing their young lady get married, they were all very emotional.

From now on, this huge Imperial Preceptor's mansion will only have the Imperial Preceptor as its master.

Upon reaching the door, Xiao Beiming scooped Luo Chujiu up from Nalan Qingyin's back and held her tightly to his chest.

"Grand Preceptor, I will treat Xiao Jiu very well from now on, and I will never let Xiao Jiu suffer any grievances."

"Remember your words. If you dare to break your oath today, we brothers will never let you go, even if you are a prince."

When facing Xiao Beiming, Nalan Qingyin showed no fear whatsoever, and her words were full of warnings.

"Keep that in mind."

Luo Chujiu looked at her senior brothers and smiled gently:
"Senior brothers, remember to come to the Prince's Mansion for the banquet tonight. You all have to be there!"

"Alright, let's not delay the auspicious time, hurry up and get into the bridal sedan chair."

Kong Xianling looked at Luo Chujiu with doting eyes and said.

Luo Chujiu nodded, and then Xiao Beiming carried her into the bridal sedan chair.
