Yelu Yan lowered his head to gaze at Li Xianyun’s fair and delicate little face, seeing her ear tips slowly blush, he couldn’t help but curve his lips upward and asked, “Did you get hurt at the horse race event today?”

Li Xianyun raised her eyes toward Yelu Yan, knowing she couldn’t hide anything from him, yet she hadn’t expected him to find out so quickly.

“No injuries,” Li Xianyun said as she helped him out of his clothes.

“Were you bullied?” Yelu Yan continued to inquire.

Li Xianyun replied, “No, but during the horse race, three officials’ relatives cornered me, so I applied some medicine on their faces. It will probably itch for a few days, but it won’t disfigure them.”

Yelu Yan looked at her with a smile and said, “It seems you showed some mercy.”

“Somewhat,” Li Xianyun smiled in response.

She paused for a moment, looked up at him, and asked, “It won’t cause you any trouble, will it?”

Yelu Yan observed her eyes, lively and clear as autumn waters, and with a smile that lifted his lips, said, “What trouble could there be? The trouble is theirs.”

They indeed had several days of itching to look forward to, which was certainly problematic.

Therefore, Li Xianyun didn’t take his words seriously, unaware of the deeper meaning behind Yelu Yan’s statement.

Li Xianyun removed his outer robe and folded it neatly before placing it on the clothes rack.

Her method of folding was impeccable, a skill honed since her younger years, and she had also devised a trick: first shaking out the garment, then grasping the shoulders from both sides, a lift and a fold would render the clothes perfectly neat.

Yelu Yan was watching for the first time someone fold clothes so crisply and orderly, and he couldn’t help but take an extra glance.

After Li Xianyun had properly arranged the clothes, she looked toward the doorway. Why was Youlan taking so long just to get the medicine box from the side hall to the main hall?

Yelu Yan watched Li Xianyun and said, “You also need to take off the garments inside.”

Li Xianyun’s face flushed at once, and she burst out, “I would rather call for the Palace Servants.”

Yelu Yan grabbed her slender and tender arm with a laugh, saying, “I’m just teasing you.”

He knows how to tease?

Li Xianyun lifted her eyes and saw two rows of white, neatly aligned teeth, and then higher up, those deep-set eyes that were profoundly inscrutable.

Yelu Yan released her arm imperceptibly and with a smile said, “Turn around, I’ll change myself; it’ll be quick.”

Li Xianyun had no choice but to obediently turn around.

Yelu Yan glanced at her with a smile, raised both hands, and took off the inner clothes, replacing them with a plain white shirt.

After he was dressed, he looked at Li Xianyun’s obedient back and said with a laugh, “Done.”

Only then did Li Xianyun turn her head to look at him.

He was neatly dressed in a white shirt, capable of undressing and dressing himself. He had indeed been teasing her.

Such a childish man.

Yelu Yan gave her a look and walked toward the soft couch by the window, saying, “Come sit.”

Li Xianyun walked over, and just as the two of them settled down, the soft, deliberately hushed voice of Zhuo Ma came from outside the door.

“Youlan, what are you doing standing there?”

Youlan said something in a low voice, indistinctly heard.

Zhuo Ma laughed and said, “Coward, I’ll go in and take a look first.”

Then she raised her voice and asked, “Khan, Madam, I’ve brought the sweet soup. May I come in?”

“Come in,” Yelu Yan said indifferently.

Zhuo Ma walked in carrying a tray, placing it on the table and setting a cup of sweet soup beside both Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun.

Then, holding the tray, she bowed and retreated.

Li Xianyun wanted to call Youlan in but had just opened her mouth to speak when she said, “You…”

“Let her come in later,” Yelu Yan interjected.

“Hmm.”

Yelu Yan took a sip of the syrup, finding it sour and sweet, very pleasant to taste.

He hadn’t been much for sweets before, but since Li Xianyun married into the Khan Palace, he had tried both shaved ice and syrup and discovered that the taste of sweetness was actually quite good.

“Did you teach them to make this as well?” Yelu Yan asked with a smile.

“Hmm, this is not hard to make,” Li Xianyun replied, also starting to sip her syrup.

Yelu Yan drank half of his syrup and set it down on the desk, looking at Li Xianyun, he said, “How did you know that the Grand Imperial Consort summoned you to disturb this Khan?”

He never called Lady Guli by her name, only the Grand Imperial Consort, which was enough to indicate that the relationship between mother and son was not that good.

Li Xianyun honestly replied, “This morning, when the consort heard you had gone to the court early, she guessed something must have happened. The Grand Imperial Consort had also sent a maid to call the consort to her palace before, but her attitude was never this forceful. This time, it seemed she couldn’t wait to have the consort go, which was very strange.”

“So, the consort thought, we are husband and wife, with aligned interests, the Grand Imperial Consort would surely aim to use the consort to hold you back.”

When he heard the words “husband and wife,” a peculiar flicker passed through Yelu Yan’s eyes, and his eyebrows moved involuntarily.

Li Xianyun took a sip of her syrup, paused, then said, “Actually, the Grand Imperial Consort is overthinking it. How could you possibly be delayed on account of the consort? But, better safe than sorry, I still had Youlan send a message to Minister Xiao to make sure he stops anyone sent by the Grand Imperial Consort to deliver the news.”

Yelu Yan picked up his teacup and took a sip of the syrup, staring off into the distance, he said seemingly casually, “How do you know this Khan wouldn’t be hindered in his duties on account of your affairs?”

Li Xianyun turned her head in surprise and looked at Yelu Yan.

Yelu Yan glanced at her, continuing to drink his syrup without showing any emotion.

Li Xianyun held her cup and continued to drink her syrup, but her heart was unsettled by those words.

What did his words mean?

Could it be… Impossible.

His words from before echoed in her ears: As a princess, this Khan can give you endless riches and glory, but when it comes to feelings, I cannot give you much.

With this in mind, her emotions stabilized a great deal.

Yelu Yan put down his cup and looked at Li Xianyun, “You just mentioned the maid’s attitude was very aggressive?”

He always had a way of getting straight to the point.

Li Xianyun nodded and smiled, saying, “But the consort made her suffer quite a bit, so she should not dare to disrespect the consort from now on.”

Yelu Yan watched her sincere expression and had other plans in his heart.

Li Xianyun said, “Khan, the consort noticed the soft cloth wrapping on your hand has loosened, allow me to rebind it for you.”

Yelu Yan lifted his hand to inspect it and indeed, it was loose. He replied, “All right.”

She was actually so concerned about him, Yelu Yan felt a cool and refreshing spring slowly flowing through his heart, soothing and comfortable.

Li Xianyun put down her water cup and turned towards the door, calling, “Youlan, come in.”

“Yes.”

Youlan said as she walked in with the medicine box.

Li Xianyun raised her hand to remove the water cup from the desk, making room for the medicine box; evidently, Yelu Yan was thinking the same thing.

Just as Li Xianyun grasped the cup, Yelu Yan’s hand reached out almost simultaneously, and his rough, slender hand enveloped her small one along with the water cup.

His hand was so large and warm, but it was also intensely hot.
