Chapter 127 Nalan Qingyin wants Luo Chujiu to succeed her as Imperial Preceptor
Xiao Beiming quickly tidied himself up and then got up to comb Luo Chujiu's hair.

These past few days, Xiao Beiming has been watching how Feiyun styles Luo Chujiu's hair, so he secretly learned from her and is now confident that he can style Luo Chujiu's hair perfectly.

Luo Chujiu let Xiao Beiming comb her hair, and even when he pulled her hair and hurt her, Luo Chujiu didn't say a word.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Chujiu looked at her slightly crooked hair bun but didn't say anything. Instead, she praised Xiao Beiming:
"Brother Beiming is so skillful, he learned how to do hair so quickly. It seems that Feiyun can retire now."

"Would you like Feiyun to redo your hairstyle?"

Even Xiao Beiming himself couldn't stand it anymore; it was just too outrageous.

"No need, this is fine as it is, let's go."

After all, it was the first time Xiao Beiming had styled her hair, so Luo Chujiu felt she had to give him plenty of emotional support, otherwise she would dampen his enthusiasm and he wouldn't style her hair next time.

It's just a little crooked, it's okay.

Seeing how much Luo Chujiu doted on him, Xiao Beiming couldn't help but laugh out loud. He then took Luo Chujiu's hand and got into the carriage, which was piled high with gifts that Xiao Beiming had prepared for the bride's return visit.

"Are these all for Fourth Senior Brother?"

"Well, since Xiao Jiu is getting married from the Imperial Preceptor's residence, the Imperial Preceptor's residence is Xiao Jiu's home, and the Imperial Preceptor is Xiao Jiu's elder brother. Therefore, the return gifts prepared for Xiao Jiu are all prepared for her senior brothers."

Luo Chujiu was very satisfied with Xiao Beiming's words.

Nalan Qingyin had been waiting at the mansion for a long time. Today was Xiao Jiu's homecoming day, and she couldn't be negligent. Early in the morning, Nalan Qingyin had someone bring the other three senior brothers to the mansion to participate in Xiao Jiu's homecoming ceremony.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother! I'm back!"

As soon as Luo Chujiu returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, she started jumping around, jumped off the carriage, ran to her senior brothers, and hugged them tightly.

The senior brothers were all soothed by Luo Chujiu's coquettishness. Although she had gotten married, they were still as close as before. That was good, that was good.

"It's windy outside, Xiao Jiu, let's go inside and talk slowly."

"Okay."

The four senior brothers surrounded Luo Chujiu and welcomed her into the house. As for Xiao Beiming, the senior brothers didn't even give him a glance.

Xiao Beiming chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said nothing. He had his men carry the things from the carriage into the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and then he followed them inside.

When Xiao Beiming entered the hall, he heard Luo Chujiu already chattering away, sharing the events of her wedding days with them. Several of her senior brothers were also listening attentively to Luo Chujiu's words.

"Xiao Jiu, has Fei Yun become spoiled and neglected you?"

Nalan Qingyin's sudden remark left Luo Chujiu completely bewildered.

"How could that be? Why would Fourth Senior Brother say that?" Luo Chujiu tilted her head and looked at Nalan Qingyin with great confusion.

"Your hair is all crooked and messy. Isn't this just being disrespectful to Fei Yun?"

Nalan Qingyin was a little angry. Could it be that because Feiyun was a servant in the Prince's mansion from the beginning, she could neglect Xiaojiu now that she had returned to the mansion? Or was it because Xiao Beiming treated Xiaojiu badly that all the servants neglected her as well?

In an instant, many possibilities flashed through Nalan Qingyin's mind.

Luo Chujiu never expected that the suspicion would be caused by her hair bun, so she quickly explained, "Fourth Senior Brother, you misunderstood. Feiyun did not neglect me. Feiyun did my hair bun today."

"Who was that? That person's skills are terrible. How could they comb your hair so crookedly? From now on, Xiao Jiu should have Fei Yun comb your hair. Don't let that person do it again." Nalan Qingyin said with great dissatisfaction.

Xiao Beiming, who combed Luo Chujiu's hair today: Although my skills still need improvement, they're not that bad, are they?

Xiao Beiming instantly felt wronged, then looked at Luo Chujiu. Luo Chujiu gave Xiao Beiming a calm look, and then said to her senior brothers:
"Senior brothers, I really like the person who styled my hair today. It was his first time, so he didn't have much experience. He'll get better with practice, right, Brother Beiming?"

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, everyone looked at Xiao Beiming in shock.

"Did Fifth Junior Brother comb Xiao Jiu's hair?" Kong Xianling was the first to react, and then asked Xiao Beiming.

"Yes, Senior Brother, it was me who did Xiao Jiu's hair. It was my first time, so I was a bit clumsy. But I'll do it for Xiao Jiu a few more times and I'll be able to do it well."

Xiao Beiming was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't deny that he had styled his own hair.

Kong Xianling, Ao Yuan, Fu Heng, Nalan Qingyin: Is he crazy? Why is he combing Xiao Jiu's hair for no reason? It's so ugly.
However, they didn't say these words in front of Xiao Beiming, so as not to hurt him. After all, he was their fifth junior brother, and they still had to give him some face.

After chatting for a while, Nalan Qingyin had something important to discuss with Luo Chujiu, so he asked Luo Chujiu to go to his study with him alone.

Xiao Beiming, on the other hand, spent time catching up with his three senior brothers.

"Fourth Senior Brother, what's so mysterious about this that you're keeping it from the other senior brothers?"

Luo Chujiu looked at Nalan Qingyin with great curiosity and asked.

"Xiao Jiu, today's matter was a decision made by Fourth Senior Brother after careful consideration and consultation with Grandmaster, so I am informing you of it specifically."

Seeing Nalan Qingyin so serious, and even consulting her grandmaster, Luo Chujiu knew that this matter was not simple.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you speak, I'm ready."

Luo Chujiu took a deep breath, waiting for Nalan Qingyin to tell her about this.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Qingyin chuckled softly:
"It's not like we're going to torture you, why are you so nervous?"

"It was my fourth senior brother who scared me first, okay?"

"Scare me? You're so brave, you think you can be scared by me?"

"Oh, alright, Fourth Senior Brother, stop changing the subject. Tell me quickly, what is it?"

Having seen this, Nalan Qingyin stopped being coy and said directly:
"It's like this, Fourth Senior Brother is getting old and wants to resign from his position as the National Preceptor of Nanzhao Kingdom and return to Xuanfeng Mountain to continue his cultivation. But before that, Fourth Senior Brother needs to train another National Preceptor for Nanzhao Kingdom, and Xiao Jiu, you are the perfect candidate."

"Huh?? Fourth Senior Brother, are you talking about me? You want me to be the National Preceptor of Nanzhao Kingdom? Is that even possible? Would Xiao Jinglin agree?"

Luo Chujiu thought that Xiao Jinglin probably wouldn't agree to let a young woman who had just come of age become the national advisor.
"Don't worry about that. I've already discussed it with His Majesty, and he trusts you and believes you can shoulder this great responsibility."

Luo Chujiu: ??? No, I'd like to ask you, is it easy to become the Grand Preceptor of Nanzhao Kingdom?
