Chapter 486: 485 Snowy days are good for sleeping (second update)

Li Xianyun was inherently a flirtatious man, with a body so delicate that the slightest touch would set her senses alight, providing the ultimate pleasure.

"Xianxian, can we set off for the West Mountain hot springs now?" Yelu Yan asked, his voice husky as he kissed her.

While he was attending to state affairs in the Hall of Diligent Governance, he had rushed over to Xuanyi Pavilion as soon as he received the news that Qu Ting and the others had been rescued.

He couldn’t wait to share the news with Li Xianyun, and he couldn’t wait to take her to the West Mountain hot springs.

There, the two of them wouldn’t have to wait until evening or afternoon to meet; they could spend days and nights together uninterrupted. The very thought made him happy.

Because they were pressed so close together, Li Xianyun’s pert bottom easily felt Yelu Yan.

Li Xianyun often thought that Yelu Yan was like a stud horse, fervently enthusiastic about that matter, always thinking of it as soon as he saw her.

Those dark, deep-set eyes gazed at her intently, as if they were an abyss that could suck her in with just a few more glances.

The things Yelu Yan thought about were of course also on Li Xianyun’s mind, making her face instantly hot as boiling water.

"But now it’s snowing; it will be cold," she protested.

"It’s precisely because it’s snowing that we should go. There are indoor hot springs and outdoor ones. Even if it’s an open-air hot spring, you won’t feel cold with the steam rising as you soak in it."

"My father and mother will be arriving soon," Li Xianyun said, looking for another excuse when her first one failed.

"When father and mother arrive, we’ll come back, alright?"

Seeing how Yelu Yan’s kisses became more uninhibited and his embrace tightened, she could feel him teasing her through their thick clothing.

How troublesome would it be if someone saw them like this?

Li Xianyun wanted to dodge, but as she shifted slightly, the man, like a predator who had been observing his prey for a long time, bent down, scooped her up, and strode towards the eastern wing.

Li Xianyun patted Yelu Yan’s chest, whispering, "My lord, it’s broad daylight; put me down."

Yelu Yan replied with a smile, "Xianxian, don’t you think this gloomy weather is perfect for sleeping?"

This sleep was not that sleep.

Li Xianyun, her ears burning, said softly, "I don’t think so."

"That doesn’t matter," he said with a mischievous smirk.

As Yelu Yan walked into the room, he kicked the door closed behind him, a sense of urgency in his action.

The door was shut from the inside.

Outside, the snowfall grew heavier. Youlan and Jinwu were warming themselves in Erfang, Bater and other guards were in another room, and several more stood guard at the entrance to the inner courtyard.

In short, ample space was left for Youlan and Jinwu.

Jinwu had brought Youlan something tasty—sugar-coated chestnuts.

Jinwu peeled the shell to reveal the brownish-yellow flesh, handing the peeled chestnuts to Youlan.

In Youlan’s palm lay several whole chestnuts—any that weren’t whole had been eaten by Jinwu.

At first Jinwu wasn’t adept at peeling and spoiled a few, but he soon improved and none were ruined.

Seeing that Jinwu hadn’t eaten any himself for a while, Youlan said, "Big Brother Jin, you should eat too."

As soon as she spoke, her face turned red.

Li Xianyun had already investigated Jinwu in secret.

He was an orphan, who nearly froze to death begging on the streets at the age of five or six, until Yelu Yan saved him.

That was how Jinwu was brought into the Imperial Palace. Upon waking, he was naturally grateful and loyal to Yelu Yan.

Chewing on the chestnuts, Youlan found them fragrant and sweet, and Li Xianyun’s words echoed in her ears.

"Youlan, Jinwu has a simple background and has remained unswayed through the trials of power, wealth, and beauty. He is someone you can entrust your life to; the rest is up to you to resolve," Li Xianyun had said.

Youlan planned to wait for her parents’ return letter before accepting Jinwu’s proposal, but for now, she only said she would consider it.

Even such a reply was enough to make Jinwu so happy he couldn’t sleep at night.

Youlan couldn’t sleep when Jinwu was worried; now, she can’t sleep either, but it’s because she’s too happy to sleep.

The deep affection between men and women indeed brings troubles, yet he relishes them as if they were sweet.

Just like his master, who scarcely falls in love, but once he does, it becomes unstoppable.

At this moment, his master’s affection for Li Xianyun has reached its peak.

Yelu Yan lifted Li Xianyun’s fair and straight legs...

Li Xianyun lay softly on the bed, her eyes misting over, tightly grasping his sturdy arm.

Once Li Xianyun had adapted, Yelu Yan began to do as he pleased.

Li Xianyun was aware that someone was in the Erfang, just a wall away. If she cried out loud, she would certainly be heard, so she could only place her fair little hand at her mouth and bite her fingers.

Yelu Yan couldn’t bear to see her bite herself, so he took her hand away and bent down to kiss her lips, murmuring indistinctly, "my darling..."

As he spoke, he began to passionately kiss her.

Li Xianyun couldn’t help but let out a soft "mmh," her eyes glistening with tears.

Yelu Yan was relentless, and she was really scared, but her heart yearned for more.

It was truly a mix of conflict and excitement.

She really was a flirtatious woman, set in her ways as the mountains and rivers are in their paths.

Before long, Li Xianyun had become thoroughly weakened, unable to sustain herself.

Yelu Yan whispered in her ear, "Xianxian, would you like to go to the West Mountain hot springs with your husband? I want to be with you every day..."

The rest of the words faded at her ear—not anything decent.

He wanted to make her cry, but at the same time he couldn’t bear to see her tears, quite the contradiction.

At this moment, Li Xianyun’s little face was flushed red, as though she would agree to anything he asked of her.

"Is that ok? Hmm?"

Yelu Yan said, pressing the issue.

Li Xianyun tried to dodge backward but found no escape, gasping, "Okay...mmh."

She thought she might truly die.

—

After several fierce battles, Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun finally emerged from the eastern chamber. The sky had been bright when they began, but now it had darkened somewhat.

Because of the snowfall, neither sky nor earth were very dark, but instead took on an unusually bright appearance.

In winter, the days always get dark early. Li Xianyun comforted herself with that thought, so they hadn’t lingered for long.

As usual, the couple joined Tia for dinner.

Li Xianyun glanced at Youlan.

Understanding the hint, Youlan went out and brought back a bundle.

Li Xianyun opened the bundle and took out the clothes inside.

"Mother, Xianxian made you a garment. Please try it on to see if it fits," Li Xianyun said.

Tia stood up with a smile, saying, "You were always deft with your hands as a child, helping your mother make clothes. I didn’t expect that you still have the habit of making them yourself."

Li Xianyun unfolded the garment, a sweet smile on her face, "Clothes made by oneself always fit better."

On the side, Yelu Yan said, "Mother, this garment I’m wearing was made by Xianxian."

He treasured it like it was something precious, wishing he could wear it every day, only willing to take it off for washing when it got dirty. He personally instructed the Chief of the Palace Servants to keep an eye on the Palace Maids washing the clothes, to ensure they didn’t damage the garment.

How could a garment be washed to pieces so easily?

Although the Chief of the Palace Servants thought this way, he dared not express it.
