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 knew that Yelu Yan had not told her many things, merely to keep her from worrying.


Of course, she had not thought to ask either, to avoid prompting Yelu Yan to come up with some irrelevant excuses just to pacify her.


The urgency before the battle had everyone on edge, emotions involuntarily tensing up.


With these feelings, Li Xianyun jolted along in the carriage and finally returned to Yanzhou.


She didn't return to the residence but went directly to the Earth God Temple in the west of the city.


Masons were repairing it, and two government officers, acting as supervisors, were sitting on chairs. Upon seeing Li Xianyun arrive, they hurriedly put down the hand warmers they held and came forward to greet her.


"Young Master Li, Yu Chi Hong just left. He asked us two to stay here to see if we can be of any help."


Li Xianyun glanced at where they had been sitting, complete with hand warmers, snacks, and hot tea, quite comfortable indeed.
