The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan
Chapter 459 - 458 You Wish (First Update)

Chapter 459: 458 You Wish (First Update)

Yelu Yan looked at Li Xianyun and smiled, "Your husband has already had the Ministry of Internal Affairs start preparing, you just didn’t know."

Ever since Yelu Yan realized his affection for Li Xianyun, seeing her beautiful, flower-like smile every day, and recalling the grievances she suffered when she first entered Khitan, it was hard for Yelu Yan to remain indifferent.

Not only did he order the preparations to be made early, but he also personally oversaw many of the details.

From the newlyweds’ attire to the items used in the marriage ceremony, to the ceremonial strategies for the queen’s enthronement, and the music and dances during the ceremony, Yelu Yan closely monitored everything, taking every detail of the ceremony into account.

It was just that he was too shy to say it out loud.

These were things he ought to do, and mentioning them seemed a bit like showing off, somewhat embarrassing.

The Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn’t help but sigh while preparing these matters.

When the princess first came to Khitan, the Khan was occupied with state affairs, leaving everything to be managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs; but now, he personally attended to every little detail, making the contrast stark.

This is the difference between love and the absence of it.

Li Xianyun was astonished, her eyes widened in disbelief, her long, dense eyelashes curving slightly upwards, making her pair of eyes appear even more clear and spirited, bewitching and irresistible.

"Ah? How come I didn’t know?"

Yelu Yan lifted his hand and pinched her soft earlobe, smiling, "You’ve been busy outside the palace, so naturally, you know less about what happens inside."

But it was precisely because she knew less that Yelu Yan could prepare surprises for her quietly.

Li Xianyun placed the food in her mouth, chewing slowly, "So you’re blaming me?"

Yelu Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "As your husband, I am under strict control by my wife. How dare I blame my lady?"

"Smooth talker."

Yelu Yan let go of her earlobe and instead pinched her cheek, soft and tender to the touch, comfortable to hold.

Li Xianyun raised her hand to push his away.

This man really had many small gestures. When they were together, he was always touchy-feely, not at all like the reserved and serious person others saw him as.

"Don’t pinch my face; you’ll ruin it."

Yelu Yan grabbed her small hand, his thumb gently caressing the smooth back of her hand, "Then you pinch my face."

He liked the feeling of her cradling and squeezing his cheeks.

But ever since Xuanyi Pavilion started, she became busier, and they played like this less often.

"You wish," said Li Xianyun.

Something else suddenly occurred to her, "My lord, I still don’t know whether my father and mother will come."

Yelu Yan looked down and continued eating, saying, "They will."

After saying that, Yelu Yan froze.

He had almost forgotten; Li Xianyun didn’t like it when people investigated her behind her back.

Yelu Yan swallowed his food, cleared his throat, and looked up.

"What I meant to say is that, regardless of whether your father and mother come or not, we should be prepared as if they are. I’ve already thought about it; once your father, mother, and your younger siblings arrive, we’ll have them stay in the side hall of the Khan Palace. This way, you can spend time with them day and night and ease the longing," he said.

Li Xianyun hadn’t expected Yelu Yan to be so thoughtful.

For a married woman, wasn’t the attitude of the husband’s family toward her own family what she cared about most?

By doing this, Yelu Yan considered how she was perceived in front of her family members.

Naturally, Li Xianyun was deeply moved. She extended her delicate hand and cradled Yelu Yan’s chiseled, handsome cheeks, squeezing them hard, and laughed, "How can my husband be so wonderful?"

Yelu Yan’s face rippled with a smile, enjoying the sensation of her kneading his face.

"As long as you know," Yelu Yan smiled, "but you must promise me that during the day you can spend time with your father, mother, and younger siblings, but at night you must come back to the main hall to sleep with me."

Without Li Xianyun in his arms, he simply couldn’t sleep.

During the days Li Xianyun hadn’t returned from Tianshui County, Yelu Yan stayed awake until dawn, tossing and turning with thoughts of Li Xianyun, unable to fall asleep.

He didn’t want to endure that kind of agonizing wait ever again.

Li Xianyun’s heart was full of worries, but due to Yelu Yan’s deliberate efforts to please and comfort her, many had been relieved.

After finishing their meal, the two returned to their quarters, each taking a bath.

Men usually bathed faster; when Li Xianyun came back, she saw Yelu Yan already sitting at the desk in the Warm Pavilion, dealing with official business.

The solid wood desk was wide and sturdy, large enough for three or four people to work on state affairs.

Yet Yelu Yan only used a small part of it, leaving the rest for Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun, wearing her sleeping clothes, the light silk attire fitting snugly and rigidly, outlined her exquisite figure vividly—accentuating her curves, smooth and voluptuous.

Truly a little temptress.

Under the dim glow of the warm light, her moon-white garment shimmered faintly as she moved, its glow flowing colorfully, regal yet delicate.

She was like a flower high on a mountain ridge, ardently sought after by many, inspiring sinful thoughts, making one want to pluck her and press her beneath oneself for irreverent play.

Yelu Yan’s Adam’s apple moved heavily, and the beast within stirred uncontrollably.

Given that Li Xianyun’s mind was preoccupied with concerns, it wasn’t right for him to seek his own pleasure.

Yelu Yan stood up, his arousal already outlined.

He somewhat awkwardly reached down to adjust his clothes.

Although Yelu Yan tried to cover up, Li Xianyun still saw it, and it was as if flames had travelled up to her ears, making her little face blush red.

The skin she had just washed with warm water was exceptionally smooth and tender, already fair with a blush of pink that now became even more pronounced.

With a slightly embarrassed clearing of his throat, Yelu Yan said, "Xianxian, weren’t you going to paint? Sit down, I’ll dry your hair for you."

Li Xianyun squeezed out a soft "Mhm" from her throat.

This delicate sound, when it reached Yelu Yan’s ears, took on a different flavor; it was the sound she made when she couldn’t contain herself beneath him.

He felt himself swell even more.

Li Xianyun walked over, sat down in front of the desk, and took out the sketch she had partially completed, gradually unrolling it. She picked up a brush, moistened it with ink, and began to draw.

Yelu Yan fetched several dry and soft towels from the cleansing room and came behind Li Xianyun, drying her hair bit by bit.

His fingertips occasionally touched her soft skin, smooth and tender.

Everywhere was enticing him.

Yelu Yan felt as if he were being roasted on a fire, enduring an excruciating ordeal.

After finally drying Li Xianyun’s hair, Yelu Yan sat down next to her to deal with official affairs.

In the silent night, the only sounds were the gentle scraping of the brush on the rice paper and the flipping of memorial tablets.

After some time, Li Xianyun began to sense that something was amiss—the surroundings were too quiet, and there were two gazes that were too fervent.

When Li Xianyun turned her head, she met Yelu Yan’s deep and luminous eyes, brimming with desire, as if a wild beast had its eyes fixed on its prey.

Li Xianyun’s lips parted to speak, "My lord, you um..."

But before she could utter a few words, Yelu Yan suddenly leaned forward, grasped the back of Li Xianyun’s neck, and bit down on her.

Without giving Li Xianyun a moment to react or catch her breath.

Clearly a man who had been abstaining and repressing himself for a long time.
