Chapter 485: Did you receive the message? (First update)

Li Xianyun stepped out of the east wing room.

Youlan quickly took the thick cloak from the wooden rack and followed her out.

"My lady, it’s cold outside, please put on your clothes."

Li Xianyun stood under the eaves, reaching out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"No need, this consort will go in after standing for a while."

Her small hands were fair as lard, and the snowflakes felt chilly on her warm and soft palms; they turned into water stains in an instant, sticking to her hands.

Li Xianyun had loved snow since she was little.

Especially a world covered in white snow.

After a heavy snowfall, everything was blanketed in white, hiding all the filth and dirt.

From the ground to the rooftops to the trees, and even the distant sky, everything was wrapped in silver-white, pure and pristine.

It was mesmerizing.

Youlan draped the clothes over Li Xianyun,"My lady, you should put on the clothes. If you catch a cold, the Khan will surely scold this slave for not taking good care of you."

Li Xianyun didn’t refuse this time, continuing to look up at the sky.

Sometimes snowflakes landed on her face, feeling cool and slippery.

After standing for a moment, Li Xianyun sighed softly, feeling melancholic, "I wonder where my father and mother have reached by now, and if the journey is difficult."

Now that it had begun to snow again, the roads would surely be tough to travel.

Although she liked snow, she now wished it would stop for their sake.

Li Xianyun’s voice was soft and filled with deep concern.

A tall figure approached.

While she was admiring the snowscape, Yelu Yan stood under the eaves, foolishly watching her.

Her graceful figure and delicate beauty added much warmth to the deadly winter.

Yet the deep concern in her eyes was like a dagger to Yelu Yan’s heart, making him want to go and smooth away her furrowed brows.

Hearing Li Xianyun’s tender voice, Yelu Yan strode over.

Youlan bowed to Yelu Yan and tactfully withdrew.

Yelu Yan wrapped his arms around Li Xianyun’s delicate body from behind, hugging her slender waist, which seemed so fragile that it might break with a little pressure.

That willowy waist was incredibly enchanting.

Scenes from their bedchamber flashed before Yelu Yan’s eyes, where they were candid and entwined with each other, never ending, tirelessly.

Of course, it was mainly him who was tireless; Li Xianyun had long since surrendered.

Faced with his own rampant desires, Yelu Yan swallowed hard.

They say a beauty’s grace is enough to whet one’s appetite, isn’t that what they mean?

Otherwise, why would he become so absent-minded and salivate at the thought?

Li Xianyun leaned softly into Yelu Yan’s broad embrace, resting her head against his sturdy shoulder. With that support at her back when she looked up at the sky, it didn’t tire her, and she felt quite comfortable.

Although she didn’t turn around, she already knew it was Yelu Yan, and her lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

"Husband, what brings you here?"

It was just past noon, and he should be attending to official duties in the Hall of Diligent Governance.

Yelu Yan buried his handsome cheek in her soft and smooth neck, gently kissing her skin, rubbing against her tender cheek.

"Have you received the news?"

His voice was magnetic and very pleasant to hear.

"What news?"

Li Xianyun had an idea of what he might be referring to, but she was also afraid they might be talking about different things.

Yelu Yan kissed her cheeks inch by inch, murmuring indistinctly, "The people from the Ji Shi Tang have been rescued and are on their way back to Houtang."

Indeed, they were talking about the same thing.

Li Xianyun responded softly with a light "Hmm," "I’ve just received the news."

The stubble on Yelu Yan’s chin was slightly prickly, and his lips were warm, starkly contrasting with the coolness of the snowflakes.

One side was like fire, the other like ice, trapping her in between and causing her skin to slowly grow hot.
