Petite Princess VS Rough Khan
On their wedding day, Yelu Yan told Li Xianyun that apart from affection, he could provide her with endless wealth and honor.
After the marriage, he indeed kept his promise, cherishing her in the palm of his hand.
Little did he know, the more he cherished her, the deeper she burrowed into his heart, right to the very top.
Not long after the political marriage with the Khitans, Li Xianyun gradually noticed earth-shattering changes around her:
Initially, the commoners who disliked her began to worship her as a deity...
The court officials accusing her of bewitching their lord were now pleading with her to consummate the marriage with the Khan...
The most perplexing of all was her husband in name; wasn’t he the one who said he wouldn't give her emotional affection? Why was he always following her around?
Little theater scene 1:
One day, Yelu Yan cornered Li Xianyun against the wall.
“Why are you avoiding this Khan?”
“They say you might have taken a liking to your servant.”
“Remove ‘might’, isn’t it obvious enough from how this Khan acts?”
“But you said you wouldn’t give your servant emotional affection.”
Yelu Yan held his forehead; he had indeed said too many foolish things.
“The Han people always say that one should start a family and then establish a career; clearly, the two are not in conflict.”
Little theater scene 2:
The sun had risen high, yet Yelu Yan was still clinging to Li Xianyun.
“Get up quickly, I have to leave. There are patients on the street waiting for my consultation, the good fields to the west need irrigation, the homestead plots in the east need measuring, and I have to oversee the silk reeling and dyeing... Uh...”
“Your husband is a patient, don’t you care for him?”
Li Xianyun looked at the man tough enough to rival ten bulls and was utterly speechless.

The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Li Xianyun stepped down from the carriage, and the party only began speaking once they entered the courtyard.


"How did the Khan respond?" Li Xianyun asked Jinwu as she looked at him.


Jinwu bowed to Li Xianyun with a bent arm and said, "Reporting to Master, the Khan said he won't be returning tonight, and instructed you to rest early and carry on as usual, without worry."


Li Xianyun certainly didn't believe this statement. If everything were as usual, if there wasn't critical military intelligence, why wouldn't Yelu Yan return? "What's the situation in Hengzhou?"


Jinwu said, "Master, rest assured, it's the same as before."


Still, Li Xianyun detected a clue from his fleeting expression, "Did the Khan specifically instruct you not to tell me about the situation in Hengzhou?"


"No, the Khan gave me no such instructions. Truly, nothing has happened in Hengzhou."


His response was overly strong, giving off the feeling that he 'doth protest too much.'
