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

Chapter 129 The Two Children of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall
"Alright, it's not that I'm blaming you. Let's have dinner. After dinner, will you go back to the Prince's residence or stay at the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"

Nalan Qingyin looked at Luo Chujiu and asked her what she thought.

"I'll stay at the Imperial Preceptor's residence. I'm going to the palace with my fourth senior brother tomorrow, so it'll be more convenient."

Luo Chujiu said with a smile, and upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyin finally showed a slight smile.

After dinner, Xiao Beiming and Luo Chujiu went back to their room. It was too cold outside, so they decided to go back inside and settle down as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Xiao Beiming told Nan Ke to return to the palace and fetch his court robes. He and Luo Chujiu would go to the morning court session from the Imperial Preceptor's residence the next day.

When Nan Ke returned to the Prince's Mansion, he also brought Fei Yun with him to Luo Chu Jiu, so that she wouldn't be uncomfortable without someone to serve her.

The next morning, Xiao Beiming woke up first and woke Luo Chujiu up, telling her to get up and wash up early.

Knowing she had important things to do today, Luo Chujiu got up without taking too long.

After getting dressed, she sat in front of the mirror, waiting for Xiao Beiming to comb her hair.

Feiyun stepped aside and watched Xiao Beiming comb Luo Chujiu's hair.

Having already learned from two experiences yesterday, combing her hair this morning went smoothly, and she succeeded on the first try. Luo Chujiu looked at the two little tufts on her head with great satisfaction.

"Let's go, Your Highness. Fourth Senior Brother is probably already waiting for us."

Luo Chujiu pulled Xiao Beiming's hand and walked out. Xiao Beiming was very obedient and showed no displeasure whatsoever.

Nalan Qingyin's carriage was already waiting outside the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and Nalan Qingyin sat inside waiting for her fifth junior brother and junior sister.

Seeing Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming enter the carriage hand in hand, Nalan Qingyin glanced at them, her eyes showing some dissatisfaction, but ultimately said nothing.

He had to admit that he needed to get used to the intimate gestures between his junior sister and Xiao Beiming. Now that his junior sister was married, it was reasonable for her to do anything with her husband, and he had no reason to be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Nalan Qingyin closed her eyes to rest as soon as they got on the car, trying to avoid seeing anything!

Meanwhile, Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming were secretly playing with each other's hands, flirting.

"I closed my eyes, but I can still hear. Junior sister, please be more discreet."

Nalan Qingyin spoke softly, lamenting that his junior sister was so outspoken, saying whatever came to mind! Although he wasn't an outsider, he didn't want to hear about a cabbage gossiping about someone else!
"Cough cough cough, Fourth Senior Brother, I thought you were asleep."

Nalan Qingyin then opened her eyes and stared into Luo Chujiu's eyes:

"Do you think I'm like you, sleeping all day long? If my master knew you were lazy and didn't meditate every day, he would definitely beat you up."

"Hmph, I'm not going to stand here and get beaten up by my master. I've grown legs, I can run by myself."

"Do you think you could run away if your grandmaster really wanted to beat you up? One immobilization spell and you'd be stuck standing there, unable to move," Nalan Qingyin chuckled.

Grandmaster's skills are so powerful, he usually just plays around with Junior Sister and never really uses his abilities. If he did, Junior Sister would have no chance to resist.

"Fourth Senior Brother, whose side are you on? Why are you helping Grandmaster? Aren't I your most beloved junior sister?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare say you're Fourth Senior Brother's favorite junior sister in front of your husband, and I'm not afraid he'll get jealous?"

"I don't know if Brother Beiming is jealous or not, but I can tell and smell that you're jealous, Fourth Senior Brother!"

Luo Chujiu crossed her arms and said in a very arrogant manner.

In the end, Fourth Senior Brother was just jealous of Xiao Beiming. Seeing the two of them so intimate made him uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyin was speechless and simply kept her eyes closed, too lazy to argue with Luo Chujiu. Luo Chujiu, having won a small round, looked at Xiao Beiming with great smugness.

Xiao Beiming smiled helplessly. He hadn't dared to utter a single word, afraid of displeasing the Grand Preceptor.

Who knew that Luo Chujiu would keep arguing with the Imperial Advisor, until he was speechless and then closed his eyes.

Having finally arrived at the palace, Nalan Qingyin seemed unable to bear it any longer and immediately got off the carriage.

"Go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence and wait. The Imperial Preceptor and I will come to find you after court."

"Okay, I understand. Brother Beiming, you should go now. My fourth senior brother has almost disappeared." Luo Chujiu nodded with a smile.

Xiao Beiming ruffled Luo Chujiu's hair, then quickly caught up with Nalan Qingyin.

Luo Chujiu swaggered into the Imperial Preceptor's Hall. Perhaps Nalan Qingyin had given prior instructions, because the two children in the Imperial Preceptor's Hall did not stop her, but instead invited her into the hall.

"What does my fourth senior brother usually do?"

Luo Chujiu looked at the two of them curiously and asked.

"The Grand Preceptor's daily work is to divine the fate of the nation. If he senses any disaster, he must inform His Majesty immediately. If His Majesty needs to consult the Grand Preceptor, the Grand Preceptor must offer advice. If the war becomes critical, the Grand Preceptor must also devise strategies for His Majesty."

Hearing what Xiaotong said, Luo Chujiu felt that the position of Imperial Advisor didn't seem so difficult.

To put it bluntly, it's all about serving the royal family. If Xiao Jinglin has any problems, she has to help solve them, and then Xiao Jinglin has to take good care of her. It's that simple.

As for wars and disasters, they don't happen every day, so there's no need to worry too much. It's not difficult to come up with countermeasures when they actually occur.

"Did my fourth senior brother tell you that I would be taking over as the Imperial Preceptor?"

Since she had nothing else to do, Luo Chujiu started teasing the two children.

The two little boys looked to be no more than eight or nine years old, yet they were already serving by the side of the Imperial Advisor, so they must be quite intelligent.

"The Imperial Advisor previously told me that Princess Xiao would succeed him in his position, and that Xiaoying and I should assist Princess Xiao well."

"His name is Xiaoying? What's your name?"

Luo Chujiu looked at the child who was speaking with great curiosity.

"My name is Xiaohe."

"Did your fourth senior brother give you these names?"

Xiao He and Xiao Ying nodded, indicating that the name was indeed bestowed by the Imperial Advisor.

"When did you two start following Fourth Senior Brother?"

Xiaoying glanced timidly at Xiaohe, and then Xiaohe answered Luo Chujiu's question:
“We are twin brothers that the Imperial Advisor picked up. We have been with the Imperial Advisor since we can remember.”

Hearing Xiao He's words, Luo Chujiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the two brothers were actually picked up by her fourth senior brother. No wonder, after all, who would be willing to send two sons into the palace together and have them follow others and never go home?

Luo Chujiu continued to scrutinize the twins and found that they looked nothing alike. Apart from a red mole on their foreheads, they had virtually no other similarities.

"Are you sure you're twin brothers? You don't look alike at all."
