Chapter 39 Xiao Beiming's Three Letters and Six Gifts Delivered
"Even if Consort Jiang is in danger, His Majesty will handle it. Why are you getting involved?"

Nalan Qingyin's completely indifferent attitude left Luo Chujiu furious.

"Fourth Senior Brother, she's still my cousin. What's wrong with me showing some concern? You have no sympathy at all. I'm not going to talk to you anymore today."

After saying that, Luo Chujiu turned and left, leaving Nalan Qingyin to run after her.

Nalan Qingyin said he was used to it. This little princess would ignore him at the drop of a hat, and then he would have to prepare a gift for her in order to coax her back. Before she saw the gift, his junior sister would never say another word to him!
The two returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Nalan Qingyin was about to take Luo Chujiu to her private treasury to pick out something she liked in order to coax her when someone came to announce that Prince Xiao was requesting an audience with Nalan Qingyin and Luo Chujiu, bringing with him the three letters and six gifts.

Nalan Qingyin frowned slightly. So you're ready already?
As soon as Luo Chujiu heard that Xiao Beiming had arrived, she immediately ran out, and Nalan Qingyin couldn't stop her.

"Xiao Beiming!"

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's voice, Xiao Beiming slightly raised his head, met her gaze, and then smiled.

"Is the injury on your back any better?"

"Yes, I'm almost fully recovered! Are you coming to deliver the betrothal gifts?"

Luo Chujiu's eyes seemed to be shining, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Beiming.

Xiao Beiming felt like he was being burned by Luo Chujiu's unobstructed gaze.

"Yes, the three letters and six rites are all complete. Please, Imperial Preceptor and future Princess Consort, take a look."

Xiao Beiming bowed slightly, facing Nalan Qingyin and Luo Chujiu.

Luo Chujiu really liked the way Xiao Beiming bowed to her; it was very gentle and refined, full of scholarly air!

Nalan Qingyin took the betrothal gift list from Xiao Beiming and examined it very carefully.

After seeing it for a long time, Luo Chuji leaned over and looked at the betrothal gifts for her with Nalan Qingyin.

Wow, so many! Am I that valuable?

Luo Chujiu was surprised to see such a long list of gifts.

Then he received a glare from Nalan Qingyin:
"You're worth far more than these things. You're so worthless, you think you can be satisfied with just a little something?"

"What? I think Xiao Beiming is quite sincere. Besides, this is a betrothal gift for me, not for you, Fourth Senior Brother. I haven't said anything, so what do you have to say? Give it to me now!"

Luo Chujiu disliked Nalan Qingyin's words and snatched the betrothal gift list from his hand. Without even glancing at it, she stuffed it into her bosom, then walked over and took Xiao Beiming's hand.
"Xiao Beiming, I've accepted all these betrothal gifts. What do you want as part of your dowry? Just tell me, and I'll have my fourth senior brother pay for it!"

Nalan Qingyin clutched her heart tightly. Seeing Luo Chujiu's siding with outsiders, she wished she could silence Xiao Beiming!
In just a few days, Xiao Beiming has completely captivated his junior sister! It's all Xiao Beiming's fault!
"Cough cough cough, no need, nothing is needed, you just need to marry me."

Seeing the Imperial Advisor's murderous gaze, Xiao Beiming quickly refused Luo Chujiu's offer of dowry.

When he marries a princess, he only cares about who she is, not how much dowry she will receive. Once Luo Chujiu marries into the royal palace, he will be in charge of managing the entire palace.

Wow, you're so nice! I'm finding myself liking you more and more!

Luo Chujiu's undisguised confession made Xiao Beiming blush.

Nalan Qingyin couldn't bear to watch and pulled Luo Chujiu back from Xiao Beiming's side:
"Young lady, aren't you ashamed? You two aren't even married yet, be mindful of your distance and how you behave!" Nalan Qingyin admonished Luo Chujiu, then suddenly turned around and glared at Xiao Beiming!
Xiao Beiming felt utterly innocent. He was just standing there, doing nothing, when Luo Chujiu came over and confessed her feelings to him, and then he was even resented by the Imperial Advisor.

"Fourth Senior Brother, how can you be so old-fashioned? He's my fiancé, what's wrong with me expressing my feelings for him?"

Luo Chujiu felt that her fourth senior brother was too old-fashioned. She had only said a few words while holding his arm, and he was already criticizing her!
Nalan Qingyin felt like she was about to be driven crazy by Luo Chujiu. How could she be like this!

Seeing that the Imperial Preceptor and Luo Chujiu were about to start arguing, Xiao Beiming quickly excused himself.

"The three letters and six gifts have been delivered. If the Imperial Advisor feels they are insufficient, then please make a list, and I will try my best to supplement them. I will not disturb the Imperial Advisor and Miss Luo any longer. Farewell—"

"Hey, don't leave!"

Luo Chujiu watched Xiao Beiming's departing figure and quickly called out, but Xiao Beiming moved with incredible speed.

"Fourth Senior Brother, look at you! You've scared my fiancé away!"

"You clearly scared Prince Xiao away! What kind of girl confesses her love to a man? You have no self-respect at all!"

Nalan Qingyin refused to take the blame. It was clearly Xiao Beiming who couldn't handle Xiao Jiu's enthusiasm! How could she be blamed?
"Huh, I'm ignoring you!"

After saying that, Luo Chujiu ran back to her room and slammed the door shut.

When Nalan Qingyin saw the boxes in the courtyard, she had them carried into the storeroom for safekeeping, to be sent to the Prince's Mansion together on the day Luo Chujiu got married.

As for himself, he turned around and went back to his room to meditate and rest.

After returning to her room, Luo Chujiu happily took out the betrothal gift list, looked it over one by one, her eyes narrowing into slits as she finished reading, and then stuffed the list into her all-purpose bag.

He then threw three more black coins onto the table, trying to predict which aspect of the disaster that would befall Consort Jiang.

When the Xuan coin was placed on the table, Luo Chujiu stared at it and was immediately stunned.

Hmm? ? ? ? Is it related to offspring?
Luo Chujiu was a little confused. She had chatted with Consort Jiang for so long today, but she hadn't noticed any signs that Consort Jiang was pregnant.
Forget it, I'll go see my cousin again tomorrow. I'll figure out what's going on eventually.

After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's Hall, Xiao Beiming went to find Xiao Jinglin.

Seeing Xiao Beiming's panic, Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but wonder:

"What's wrong? Is someone chasing you?"

"No one is chasing after me. I just came out of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, delivered the three letters and six gifts, and met with Miss Luo."

Xiao Beiming smiled and said.

"Oh? What a coincidence, I also met your future princess today. She's quite interesting, and her words are amusing. No wonder the Grand Preceptor is so protective of this junior sister." Xiao Jinglin teased softly, his voice full of amusement.

"Oh? But what happened?"

"The Imperial Advisor told me that your future queen is extremely lustful, loving both men and women. Today, the Imperial Advisor took her to see my Consort Jiang. I heard that she made Consort Jiang very happy and that Consort Jiang likes her very much."
