The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 645 - 643 Finally Home (First Update)

Yaduo knew Li Xianyun and Yelu Yan were tired from their journey and ended the banquet early.

Everyone said their goodbyes to Yaduo, Yelu Yan, and Li Xianyun.

Yelu Xuan clasped Li Xianyun’s small hand with an air of reluctance to part.

After the adults had eaten, Xuanxuan was called over by Li Xianyun, who held him in her embrace and talked with him for a good while.

But Yelu Xuan still felt the time was too short, feeling he hadn’t said much to his godmother before he had to leave.

Li Xianyun, looking down, soothed him, "Xuanxuan, how about you and your mother come to the palace to visit godmother tomorrow?"

"Okay."

Yelu Xuan said, looking toward Yuchi Qian for her opinion.

Yuchi Qian smiled and said, "Good, tomorrow your mother and I will come to the palace with you."

"That’s great!" Yelu Xuan jumped up with joy. frёeωebɳovel.com

After everyone had left, Li Xianyun had the maids bring in the gifts they had bought for Yaduo.

Most of them were clothes to wear, along with some novel and interesting items.

As Yaduo grew older, she became more like a child at heart, taking delight in collecting and playing with those delicate and rare trinkets.

In addition to clothes and toys, Li Xianyun also gifted some medicinal herbs for health.

Yaduo couldn’t stop smiling, "It’s good enough that you are back, why did you buy so many gifts for your grandmother?"

Yelu Yan, with his arm around Li Xianyun’s shoulder, said, "Xianxian prepared all of this."

Yaduo laughed and said, "Of course I know Xianxian prepared them for me. When have you ever bought anything for me while handling official business outside?"

Yelu Yan pretended to look hurt and said, "Grandmother, do you really forget the things I sent to Mount Tian for you?"

Yaduo paused, then laughed, "Alright, I know you’re filial."

Li Xianyun stepped forward, took hold of Yaduo’s arm, and avoided Yelu Yan’s affection.

"Grandmother, please sit down. I’ll take your pulse."

"Sure," said Yaduo.

Before Li Xianyun had left Shangjing, she had taken Yaduo’s pulse and performed acupuncture, which had helped her body’s condition.

But these past few days, she felt a bit unwell again, with overall soreness, her leg condition had acted up, and her back felt as if it was being pressed by a thousand-pound boulder.

She had the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau examine her. Although it was somewhat helpful, it wasn’t as effective.

Yaduo wanted Li Xianyun to help her with her condition.

However, considering the long and exhausting journey Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun had undertaken, she thought to wait until tomorrow to have Li Xianyun take her pulse.

Unexpectedly, Li Xianyun had already brought it up.

Yaduo sat on the nearby Taishi Chair, placing her hand on the table, "Darling, how did you know I wasn’t feeling well?"

Yelu Yan, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but worry.

Li Xianyun positioned Yaduo’s hand properly and placed her index finger and middle finger on Yaduo’s wrist, "As your daughter-in-law, I noticed your lips were a bit purplish, which suggests some internal conditions."

After saying this, she silently concentrated and began taking Yaduo’s pulse.

She took the pulses of both hands.

The grandmother and grandson both watched Li Xianyun intently.

After finishing, Li Xianyun described Yaduo’s symptoms, which matched exactly what Yaduo had been feeling.

Yelu Yan asked anxiously, "Xianxian, what should we do?"

"Later, I will give grandmother a few acupuncture needles and adjust her condition according to the prescription," Li Xianyun replied.

Li Xianyun then told Yaduo about some things she should pay attention to in her everyday life.

After writing down the prescription, Li Xianyun instructed Yaduo’s personal maid on what to be careful of while preparing the medicine.

Then she went to the inner chamber with Yaduo to administer the acupuncture.

While performing the acupuncture, Li Xianyun glanced at Yaduo, "Grandmother, if you feel sleepy, you can take a nap."

Yaduo had indeed been thinking the same. During the previous times Li Xianyun had performed acupuncture, she had fallen asleep comfortably.

Yelu Yan waited patiently in the main hall.

As Li Xianyun walked in, Yelu Yan rose to his feet and quickly stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing her close to him, "Grandmother, how is she doing?"

"She’s asleep, no major issues, you don’t need to worry."

Yelu Yan caught her right hand—the one she used for administering acupuncture—and kneaded it in his palm, loosening her muscles and tendons, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

Yelu Yan bent slightly and swept Li Xianyun into his arms, stepping outside.

Li Xianyun wiggled her little feet, "Put me down quickly, there are so many people around."

"I want them to see just how much I cherish you."

"Have you no shame?"

"What’s there to be ashamed of between husband and wife?" Yelu Yan looked at her with a smile, continuing his stride unceasingly.

Li Xianyun was thus carried all the way back to the Khan Palace by Yelu Yan.

The palace attendants in the Khan Palace saw their own Khan and Queen beaming with joy, delighted as if it were a festival.

Li Xianyun looked at the familiar faces and things around her, let out a sigh of relief, and declared with great satisfaction, "I’m finally home."

Yelu Yan felt very pleased when he heard Li Xianyun say this.

She considered this place her home.

How wonderful.

Yelu Yan smiled at the top of Li Xianyun’s head, "Yes, we’re finally home."

Once back in the inner room, Li Xianyun flopped straight onto the bed, stretching out her limbs wide and relaxed.

The bedding and quilt had just been changed and were evidently sun-kissed; they were not only soft and fluffy but also carried the scent of the sun, which was really fragrant.

During these days since returning from the border, she and Yelu Yan sometimes slept in the carriage, sometimes on the cold and flimsy beds of inns—where could those compare to the comfort of the bed in the Khan Palace?

Li Xianyun felt just like a weary bird that had finally returned to its nest, her whole body both relaxed and joyful.

Yelu Yan lay down next to Li Xianyun on the wide bed that could accommodate four or five people and turned his head to look at her with a smile.

"After a long journey, rest well today."

Li Xianyun murmured an acknowledgment, still maintaining her position of lying on her side, head propped on the bed.

Seeing Yelu Yan’s gaze becoming hotter and more intense, Li Xianyun turned to him, "Husband, I’m tired."

Yelu Yan chuckled, "You don’t have to do anything, just lie there."

Li Xianyun huffed, that line again.

Every time she was exhausted, he would say she didn’t have to do anything.

Yelu Yan got up and lifted Li Xianyun into his arms once more.

Li Xianyun looked at him reproachfully, "Husband, don’t you ever get tired?"

Yelu Yan laughed, "I look forward to this every day; do you think I’d get tired?"

Finally, he was speaking his heart.

Li Xianyun glared at him, coquettishly saying, "You beast in human clothing."

Yelu Yan whispered seductively into her ear, "Save those words for later when I’m inside you."

What kind of talk was that?

Li Xianyun was stunned for a moment, her face slowly turning crimson, her eyes brimming with water, "Husband, do you really have to be so blunt?"

She had realized that whenever she couldn’t take it, she would scold Yelu Yan a few times, hoping he would hold back. But the more she scolded, the more enthusiastic he became.

As if he couldn’t wait for her to scold him.

Arriving at the spacious bathhouse and confronting the large hot spring pool, memories surged within Li Xianyun, leaving her legs weak.

The time, the place, and the mood were all right—it would be a wonder if Yelu Yan didn’t make a big deal out of today.

Sure enough, Yelu Yan embraced Li Xianyun and stepped directly into the hot spring pool, and then he began to get handsy.

Her garments were half-removed, loosely hanging around Li Xianyun’s body, partly concealing and partly revealing the splendid view.

Yelu Yan, overcome with urgency and not yet having fully undressed Li Xianyun, mounted her like an arrow on a bow.

The sounds of a man and a woman in the bathhouse burst forth like fireworks, the splashing water creating an ebb and flow that flushed one’s face with heat.
