The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 642 - 640 Extremely Willing (Second Update)

Facing the gaze of the crowd, Li Xianyun wanted to pull her hand out of Yelu Yan’s large hand.

But Yelu Yan didn’t allow her to do so, holding her small hand even tighter and pulling her even closer to himself.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, pressed close together.

Out of decorum, Yelu Yan expressed his gratitude to the civil and military officials and the people.

While Yelu Yan spoke, Li Xianyun smiled at the crowd, dignified and gracious.

The commoners who had come to welcome Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun comprised many from nearby provinces and prefectures.

They had traveled long distances and had been waiting here since before dawn, all for this moment.

They wanted to see what kind of legendary figure the Queen was, who had created many formidable devices during the war between the Khitan and Houliang, helping the Khitan achieve a complete victory. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Rumors had it that the Queen was unmatched in beauty, unparalleled in elegance, overflowing with talent, empathetic towards ordinary people, yet never arrogant or oppressive due to her abilities or status.

She was not only a businesswoman but also a skilled physician, proficient in device-making.

These devices were not just weapons but also included cotton-spinning and weaving machines.

Li Xianyun hadn’t yet returned to Shangjing, but the things she had done at the frontier were continuously being relayed back.

Of course, this was spurred on by a certain man.

He wished the whole world knew how wonderful his woman was.

Such a flawless depiction in the rumors about Li Xianyun seemed unbelievable.

How could such an incredible figure exist in the real world?

But as the common people saw Li Xianyun in person, they gradually started to believe.

Rumors were just rumors, after all.

Their Queen was much more beautiful than the rumors suggested, approachable, gentle and naturally graceful, instantly likable.

Li Xianyun always possessed a convincing power.

The people finally understood why the Khan, after so many years with no woman by his side, had fallen helplessly in love with Princess Hehui from Houtang.

Their Queen was indeed like a celestial figure, hard not to adore.

After Yelu Yan finished speaking, among the kneeling and blessings of the crowd, he walked into the carriage, embracing Li Xianyun’s slender waist.

The moment the carriage door closed, Yelu Yan pulled Li Xianyun onto his lap, wrapping his long arms around her.

Li Xianyun raised her hand to massage her cheeks, laughing, "If you hadn’t finished speaking soon, my face would have become stiff from smiling."

Yelu Yan raised his hand to gently massage her soft, plump cheeks, laughing, "Did I speak for too long?"

"No, it’s just that the people were really enthusiastic, making it hard to stop smiling."

So, she had laughed until her face hurt.

"They all came to see you today," Yelu Yan continued to gently massage her cheeks.

Li Xianyun had a bit of baby fat, soft and tender cheeks that felt pleasant to the touch.

She quickly realized what he implied and looked up at Yelu Yan with a smile, "It seems you haven’t stopped boasting about me."

Yelu Yan has quietly arranged for people to spread good deeds done by Li Xianyun for not just a day or two.

Li Xianyun had long known about it and had even scolded him for it.

"Husband, you’re busy with official duties, there’s no need to distract yourself with such trivial matters. Clear conscience needs no defense, time reveals a person’s heart; whether I am as bewitching and saintly as the rumors say will naturally become apparent over time, and the rumors will crumble on their own. Besides, constantly worrying about what others think is exhausting."

Yelu Yan said, "Xianxian, your matters are never trivial."

Previously, Guli and Murong Qi had repeatedly schemed against him, spreading outrageous rumors about him without any limit, but Yelu Yan harbored the same thoughts as Li Xianyun.

Rather than being bothered by those mediocrities, it was better to save his energy for meaningful endeavors.

Yelu Yan was internally strong, unaffected by external slander. Instead, he used it as an opportunity to strike back stealthily and defuse the rumors.

While he could tolerate the tactics used against him for a while, he could not bear even the slightest slander against his woman.

Yelu Yan couldn’t bear to see his woman suffer the smallest grievance.

Facing Li Xianyun’s advice, Yelu Yan verbally agreed wholeheartedly, but privately, he continued as he pleased.

Once this man was set on something, he was exceedingly stubborn, and not even ten oxen could pull him back.

Seeing that talking was useless, Li Xianyun didn’t say any more.

Yelu Yan looked at Li Xianyun and said with a smile, "I asked them to tell the truth, without any exaggeration."

Li Xianyun laughed sweetly, "In that case, I gratefully accept your kind intentions."

"That’s more like it," Yelu Yan said with a smile.

Li Xianyun looked at him and smiled charmingly.

The people lined the street to welcome them.

The clamorous voices surged into the carriage like a tide.

With such enthusiasm from the crowd, it would seem rude not to show oneself.

Li Xianyun knew Yelu Yan was concerned about her and thus said, "My dear, let’s open the window."

Yelu Yan gently pinched Li Xianyun’s cheek, "What if your face stiffens from too much smiling?"

"Then I’ll have to trouble you to massage it more," Li Xianyun said playfully, smiling.

"My pleasure," Yelu Yan’s face was full of smiles, "Who wouldn’t take advantage of an opportunity?"

Li Xianyun gave him a sideways glance, got off Yelu Yan’s lap, and reached to open the window.

A large hand reached out past her and opened the window.

The crowd, initially disappointed for not seeing the Khan and Queen, turned their worries into joy upon seeing the carriage window open and bowed in respect to the couple.

Many people began offering blessings.

The atmosphere was joyous for a moment.

Upon reaching the bustling West Market, the public was not allowed to gather around.

This was comprehensible, as shorter distances were easier for the soldiers to control and prevent assassins from mingling.

Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun first visited the Xuanyi Pavilion in West Market.

At that time, Tia was consulting with a patient when she heard a commotion outside.

"The Khan and Queen have arrived."

"Really?!"

"Absolutely true!"

"Hail the Khan, hail the Queen."

The noisy voices mixed with footsteps were chaotic yet joyful.

The patient, who was getting her pulse taken by Tia, couldn’t wait and wanted to look.

"Physician, I want to go outside and look."

Tia laughed, "They are heading this way, you’ll see them in a moment."

"Is that so?" the patient couldn’t help but speak his mind.

Sure enough, just as Tia finished taking the patient’s pulse and was about to write a prescription, Yelu Yan, hand in hand with Li Xianyun, appeared at the doorway of Tia’s consultation room.

Behind them, numerous patients and their relatives gathered, all smiling at Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun.

The patient excitedly stood up and bowed to Li Xianyun and Yelu Yan.

Yelu Yan asked everyone to rise.

Li Xianyun said to Tia, "Master, we’ll wait for you in the third courtyard."

The second courtyard had already been converted by Li Xianyun into a medical school.

Seeing Tia agree, Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun proceeded toward the third courtyard.

The onlooking crowd was held back by guards.

Originally, Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun intended to go directly to the third courtyard.

But Youlan and Bater had been recognized.

"The Queen is back!"

Following these joyful exclamations, many people gathered around, and many patients and their relatives from Xuanyi Pavilion came out.

With everyone being so enthusiastic, heading straight to the third courtyard might have seemed cold-hearted.

So, the couple dismounted the carriage and entered Xuanyi Pavilion.

Thus, a sensational moment ensued.
