The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 589 - 587 Enchanted by Her Own Man (First Update)

Being captivated by her own man was something Li Xianyun thought best kept quietly in her heart.

Even when facing Yelu Yan, Li Xianyun didn’t plan on revealing her thoughts.

Because it was simply too embarrassing.

Outside Yanzhou City, officials of various ranks lined up to welcome Yelu Yan’s procession into the city.

Their faces were filled with joy and reverence as the loud and fervent cheers and bows greeted Yelu Yan.

In their hearts, their Khan was invincible and undefeated in battle.

This royal expedition would surely resolve the crisis in Hengzhou and crush the Houliang troops completely.

Li Xianyun, following the procession, was settled in the most luxurious residence in Yanzhou.

It was originally the abode of a wealthy family in Yanzhou. Later, when the Family Head got into trouble, his property was confiscated.

The Family Head spared his life, took his family, and moved far away, never to return.

The residence spanned a vast area, with courtyards within courtyards, and connected pavilions and chambers of luxurious elegance.

Any official residing there could be suspect of indulging in luxury.

To avoid suspicions, nobody dared to move in, and the residence had been idle for about two years.

Upon learning of Yelu Yan’s visit, the Governor of Yanzhou had ordered the residence to be thoroughly cleaned several times and had the dilapidated and modest areas refurbished.

Moreover, many modern items were added to the residence, making it look as good as new.

Not only that, the Governor of Yanzhou also had improvements made to the residence.

Inside, there were not only residential areas but also a study for handling official business and a large room for meetings.

Knowing that Yelu Yan practiced swordsmanship daily, the Governor of Yanzhou even specifically created a training ground within the main courtyard of Yelu Yan’s residence.

Li Xianyun, leading people into the residence, couldn’t help but appreciate the thoughtful effort of the Governor of Yanzhou.

However, amidst such luxury and in wartime, Yelu Yan probably did not want to see the officials focusing their energies on pleasing him.

Li Xianyun and her entourage went straight to the main building.

At the entrance of the main courtyard where the main building was located, several soldiers stood guard. Outside the courtyard, tall, robust Khitan soldiers were stationed every few meters, sealing the area tightly so that outsiders couldn’t come near.

As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy; after the previous close call for Li Xianyun, Yelu Yan was truly frightened and could no longer afford to be negligent in matters concerning Li Xianyun.

How could Li Xianyun not understand Yelu Yan’s good intentions?

To put his mind at ease, so he wouldn’t have to worry about her while dealing with his busy official duties, she gladly accepted the arrangement.

After settling everything, Li Xianyun climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The journey during the day was rough, and at night she was tormented by a certain beast, leaving her utterly exhausted.

This sleep was long and deep; when she woke up, she found the room dimly lit and eerily quiet.

Li Xianyun felt confused about whether it was today or yesterday, unable to distinguish morning from evening.

She sat up and called out, "Youlan."

Youlan was preparing a pair of thick cotton boots for Jinwu, near the doorway cutting the pattern.

The cold winds of the border were like knives, and Jinwu, always on the move by the Khan’s side, would suffer greatly without proper and comfortable shoes.

Every time she thought of her man, Youlan’s face flushed with happiness.

While she was distracted, a maid leaned over and said uncertainly, "Sister Youlan, I think I heard the Queen’s voice."

Youlan, listening carefully, realized it was indeed so.

She quickly put her materials in the sewing basket, stood up, and entered, saying, "My lady, are you awake?"

The inner chamber was vast, and one had to pass through two curtains decorated with beads and jade to reach where Li Xianyun slept.

This was enough to reflect the original family’s luxurious lifestyle.

Youlan instantly saw Li Xianyun, who was sitting at the head of the bed, putting on an outer robe.

Her clothes loosely fitting, her hair elegantly styled, her fair little face faintly blushed, her eyes, like water, full of contentment and laziness from a satisfying sleep. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Such a fragrant and tenderly awakened beauty had left Youlan utterly spellbound.

If Khan were here, wouldn’t he have lost his soul anew?

As Li Xianyun dressed, she inquired, "Hasn’t Khan returned yet?"

Had Yelu Yan returned, he would have certainly been too impatient to wait and would have rushed to her side.

Youlan hummed affirmatively, rolling up the pale lotus-colored gauze curtain on the bed and hanging it on golden hooks.

"Khan is discussing matters in the front courtyard. He returned once in the middle, saw you sleeping, and didn’t disturb you. Later, he even sent Jinwu several times to check on you, instructing people not to disturb you and to prepare hot water and food for you in advance."

While talking, Youlan didn’t forget to look suggestively at Li Xianyun. "Master, Khan really treats you so well."

Li Xianyun joked with a smile, "Jinwu is also truly good to you."

Previously, it was always Youlan saying things about her; now, she finally got a chance to tease Youlan.

Upon hearing this, Youlan’s face flushed red, not daring to continue the conversation.

Li Xianyun finished dressing and stood up, unable to resist glancing at the gathered transparent curtains hanging on the hook, her brows lightly furrowing.

Whenever they made love on the bed, regardless of how hard it was for Li Xianyun to restrain herself, she would endure the pleasure to ask Yelu Yan to draw the curtain closed, shielding them within the four corners of the bed.

Only by doing this could Li Xianyun bear the embarrassment.

But now, such a transparent curtain was as good as none.

During their passionate moments on the bed, wouldn’t everything be clearly seen through the curtain?

It was truly embarrassingly shy.

Li Xianyun felt awkward to directly ask Youlan to change it.

The maid thought too much; she would surely guess the reason and might tease her about it later.

She could only find a way out herself.

Li Xianyun went to the cleansing room to wash up, with Youlan holding the soft towel and attending at her side.

"Master, food has been prepared in the kitchen. Shall I have someone bring it in?"

Having just gotten out of bed, Li Xianyun wasn’t in the mood to eat.

"No need. I’ll wash up and visit the kitchen."

The meals were ready; what was she doing going to the kitchen?

Youlan wondered, puzzled.

"Is there fish in the kitchen?" asked Li Xianyun with moving lips.

"When I went to make the food arrangements, I saw a few carp swimming in the big tank," said Youlan, unclear of the intent. "Does Master wish to eat fish?"

Li Xianyun hummed vaguely.

"Why bother, let the kitchen maid prepare it."

"I’ll go myself."

Saying so, Li Xianyun passed the towel she had used on her face to Youlan.

Youlan hung the towel on the rack and followed Li Xianyun out, laughing and flattering. "That’s true. Who among those kitchen maids could compare to Master’s cooking skills?"

"You just know how to sweet-talk, you sly girl."

Li Xianyun chatted and joked with Youlan, sitting in front of the dressing table to arrange her hair. Her slender and pale hands moved through her hair, displaying a charming grace.

While Yelu Yan was handling official duties in the front hall, Jinwu reported that Li Xianyun had gotten up and had even gone to the kitchen herself to prepare food.

He was eager to go back and see his woman.

But affairs always had their priorities.

With the war tense and official duties piled up, he couldn’t leave.

Moreover, Yelu Yan also knew that he must win the battle against Houliang.

Murong Ce was Li Xianyun’s nemesis. Only with Murong Ce defeated and punished appropriately, could Li Xianyun let go of her grudges and live happily.

This was also why he was more diligent and gave more importance to this battle than ever before.
