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

Chapter 44 Leaving the Palace and Entering the Imperial Preceptor's Residence
"I really didn't expect that just one month after I stopped giving Consort Jiang the contraceptive, she became pregnant."

Xiao Jinglin was overjoyed.

Xiao Beiming was aware that Xiao Jinglin had given the women in the harem contraceptives. The contraceptives were obtained by Xiao Beiming's subordinates and had no effect on the women's health; they only temporarily prevented them from conceiving.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly decide to have a child?"

Xiao Beiming had always felt that Xiao Jinglin didn't want children or like children, but now that Consort Jiang was suddenly pregnant, he was really puzzled.

"Nothing much, it's just that Consort Jiang's shy and timid demeanor when serving me is so adorable. I think that if Consort Jiang were to give birth to a child, I would definitely like it too, so I had her medication stopped."

Xiao Jinglin knew he had wronged Consort Jiang, so he doted on her immensely, giving her everything except the position of Empress.

Now that she is pregnant with his child, Xiao Jinglin feels that the position of Empress is not out of the question.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Has His Majesty truly fallen for Consort Jiang?"

"What, are you laughing at me? One day you'll end up like me."

Xiao Jinglin did not deny the fact that he liked Consort Jiang, but instead teased Xiao Beiming.

"Your Majesty, I dare not laugh at you."

Xiao Beiming chuckled softly. How could he dare to laugh at His Majesty's affection for Consort Jiang? Consort Jiang had been serving His Majesty for over a year, so it was only natural that the two would develop feelings for each other over time.

"In a couple of days, the Imperial Advisor will send Miss Luo out of the palace to settle down. You should hurry up and cultivate a good relationship with her, so as not to let her down."

Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Beiming with a lecturing expression and said, "Xiao Beiming smiled and nodded:"
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I understand."

After Luo Chujiu recovered from her injuries at the Imperial Preceptor's Hall, Nalan Qingyin sent her out of the palace.

Nalan Qingyin bought a house outside the palace, but no one lived there except for servants. Now he brought Luo Chujiu back to the house and made everyone treat her as a young lady of the house, without any neglect.

"Xiao Jiu, do you like this house? When you get married, you can leave from this house. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother. I really like it here, but I still need to go to the Prince's Mansion to bring my maids and nannies to live here."

Luo Chujiu always remembered that Feiyun and the others were still in Xiao Beiming's mansion, so the first thing she thought of after leaving the palace was to bring them all back.

As soon as Luo Chujiu finished speaking, she looked up and saw Feiyun and the others.

"Miss! You've finally left the palace! I was so worried about you!"

Feiyun went to greet her, her eyes red.

"How will you be here?"

Luo Chujiu was very surprised, but then she saw Xiao Beiming and understood.

"Was it you who brought Feiyun and the others to the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"

"The incident at the severance banquet that day happened suddenly. You were taken to the palace by the Imperial Advisor. Your maids and servants were all in the Prince's residence. Now that you have moved to the Imperial Advisor's residence, I will naturally send your people over."

"Thank you, Your Highness, you are so thoughtful!"

"It was just a small favor. Also, I would like to invite Miss Luo to go boating on the lake tomorrow. Would Miss Luo agree?"

Xiao Beiming wasn't simply sending someone over; more importantly, he wanted to invite Luo Chujiu out for fun. Nalan Qingyin remained silent, leaving the decision entirely to Luo Chujiu.

“Great! I haven’t been out for a stroll in ages. Your Highness can take me out for a walk. But please don’t call me Miss Luo anymore, just call me Xiao Jiu.”

Luo Chujiu felt extremely awkward calling her "Miss Luo" repeatedly. She decided to just call her by her name. After all, they were getting married in a few months, so it was good to change her way of addressing her beforehand.

"Alright, then I will call you that. I will come to pick up Xiao Jiu at this time tomorrow." Xiao Beiming smiled brightly.

"it is good!"

After achieving his goal, Xiao Beiming left the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Nalan Qingyin personally led Luo Chujiu to the backyard to settle in, giving her the largest courtyard in the Imperial Preceptor's residence, even larger than the courtyard where Nalan Qingyin lived.

"The servants in this mansion are at your disposal. If you need anything, just tell the steward. Your senior brother spends a lot of time in the palace and may not be able to take care of you in time. If you encounter anything that you cannot handle, take this token to the palace to find your senior brother, understand?"

Nalan Qingyin tried her best to arrange everything for Luo Chujiu to avoid any oversights.

"It's alright, Fourth Senior Brother, you go ahead with your work. I can handle it myself."

Luo Chujiu knew that Nalan Qingyin was the Imperial Preceptor and had many things to do on a daily basis, so she didn't need him to take care of her in the mansion all the time. She was capable and had her own hands and feet!
Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyin chuckled softly, said nothing more, and left the Imperial Preceptor's residence to return to the palace.

Luo Chujiu asked Qingying and Caizhao to settle in the courtyard, and then asked Feiyun to follow her back to the house.

This house is obviously much better than the one in the Luo family mansion, and much better than the one in the Prince's mansion.

"Miss, is the Imperial Advisor really your senior brother? He's the Imperial Advisor! How amazing!"

Feiyun still couldn't quite believe that her young lady had such a powerful backer. She had always thought that her young lady was bullied by the Luo family because she didn't have any powerful backers.

"That's right, my senior brothers are all very capable. Don't be fooled by the fact that my fourth senior brother is now the national advisor of the Nanzhao Kingdom. In our sect, his esoteric arts are the worst, even worse than mine. He always gets scolded by our grandmaster on the mountain."

Luo Chujiu didn't hold back in exposing Nalan Qingyin's shortcomings in front of Feiyun.

Feiyun could never have imagined that such a powerful and capable national advisor was actually the worst one in his sect.

Immediately, Fei Yun's gaze towards Luo Chu Jiu was filled with admiration and awe.

"Will Miss take over the position of Imperial Advisor in the future? There have been rumors in recent years that the Imperial Advisor is preparing to retire and then choose a successor. Is it Miss?" Feiyun asked expectantly.

This question completely stumped Luo Chujiu.

Why do you think I'll take over my senior's position?

"That's because Miss is very capable! The Nanzhao Kingdom has always revered metaphysics and witchcraft, and those who can be selected as the national advisor are the best among them. Miss is even more capable than the national advisor, so she will naturally be the next national advisor."

Feiyun took it for granted.

Luo Chujiu laughed, thinking that Feiyun's idea was too naive.

"I don't want to be the Imperial Advisor, it's exhausting, you know. I just want to be a princess, eating and drinking every day, how wonderful!"

Luo Chujiu is very skilled, but she only wants to be a lazy bum who does nothing and has no desire to work hard.

She lay flat, and all she had to do was let her husband and fellow disciples work hard; she just needed to be the group's darling.
