The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 684 - 682 Extra 6: It’s Good to Know (Second Update)

Yelu Yan was so delighted that he became slightly flustered, "Xianxian, I want to announce to the world that you are pregnant."

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but Li Xianyun pulled him back.

"My lord, I just became pregnant and it has not been three months yet. We can announce it to the world after the three months are up and everything is stable."

Yelu Yan replied, "That’s also good."

After speaking, he lifted his hand and gently covered Li Xianyun’s lower abdomen.

Li Xianyun looked down with a smile, watching his cautious movements, and chuckled, "My lord, though we cannot let the whole world know yet, we can still let grandmother and mother know. It will surely make them happy."

"Alright, I’ll send someone to tell them."

Yelu Yan said, turning around to leave.

Li Xianyun watched his frantic figure and chuckled, "Come back."

Yelu Yan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and hurried back, "What’s wrong?"

His face was flushed, his steps light, and his breathing somewhat rushed.

Li Xianyun laughed quietly to herself; isn’t this how every first-time father is, all flustered, excited, and eager?

Where had his usual reserved and restrained self gone?

Li Xianyun chuckled, "Didn’t we agree this morning? Tonight, we are to dine with grandmother; have you forgotten?"

Yelu Yan held his forehead and laughed, "I had completely forgotten about it."

Li Xianyun lowered her head to tidy up the desk, "We can tell them at dinner time. That will surely make grandmother happy too."

Yelu Yan kissed Li Xianyun’s forehead, "Xianxian, you are always so thoughtful."

Seeing that Li Xianyun was tidying up the desk, Yelu Yan took the items from her hands and placed them on the desk, "Xianxian, you are pregnant now, you shouldn’t be doing any heavy work."

Li Xianyun’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Is this considered heavy work?"

But Yelu Yan didn’t care about that; he bent down and picked up Li Xianyun sideways, placing her on a nearby desk.

As he set her down, Yelu Yan bent over and kissed her lips repeatedly, "Just rest here nicely. I’ll do the work; you can just direct me."

After Yelu Yan spoke, he did not hurry to stand up but continued to bend over and look at Li Xianyun, "Hmm?" He hummed, asking her opinion, "Xianxian, you need to be more obedient."

Li Xianyun nodded, "But you can’t stop me from writing."

Her aspirations couldn’t be abandoned just because she was pregnant.

Yelu Yan gently pressed his hand upon her head, indulgently saying, "I know, besides, I wouldn’t dare to stop you."

If he did, Li Xianyun would likely become upset with him.

"That’s good to know."

Yelu Yan kissed her cheek.

The kisses made Li Xianyun giggle and push on his chest playfully, "Alright, that’s enough, go tidy up now."

Only then did Yelu Yan stand up straight and went over to tidy up the desk.

He smiled through the whole process, cheaply, like a child who had been given candy.

Inside Cirui Palace.

Yaduo had people carefully prepare the meal.

Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun were very filial, dining in her palace every two days.

They kept her company by talking and chatting, relieving her boredom.

Before Yelu Yan got married, Yaduo could hardly see him throughout the year.

Either he was on military campaigns in the south and north, or he was busy with official duties. Although he would often send gifts to Tianshan Other Palace, elderly people know that no matter how nice the gifts are, they cannot compare to the company of loved ones.

Yaduo longed to see Yelu Yan but was also afraid of causing him trouble. She did not want him to be worried, so she endured the loneliness in Mount Tian, year after year.

I thought I would end up lonely and old.

But everything changed after Li Xianyun got married into our family.

In fact, when I learned that Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun were getting married, Yaduo, who had long been looking forward to Yelu Yan’s marriage, was not very excited.

Their marriage was based on interests after all.

How could such a calculated marriage harbor pure feelings?

I am a living example of that.

Yaduo did not have high hopes for this marriage, and she even felt quite sympathetic towards both of them. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Unexpectedly, the two developed feelings for one another, planting a different kind of seed, and blossoming a different kind of flower.

When Yelu Yan wrote to her, asking her to return to Shangjing and saying that if she did not, his daughter-in-law would run away,

Yaduo still had her doubts.

Not until she saw Li Xianyun did she realize her worries were unnecessary.

Li Xianyun was a beauty, gentle and soft, yet not vulgar, clearly the kind of girl elders would adore.

And Yaduo could directly see that Yelu Yan was head over heels while Li Xianyun did not have such affection for her grandson.

So she immediately started to help Yelu Yan pursue Li Xianyun.

During this process, the relationship between grandmother and grandson was harmonious.

Yelu Yan also became more lively and vibrant, finally showing the vigor of a young man.

The cold, scheming atmosphere of the Harem was also enlightened by Li Xianyun’s presence.

Were it not for Li Xianyun, there would not be a scene of Yelu Yan showing filial piety at her knees.

How could all this not make Yaduo fond of her precious granddaughter-in-law?

Just at mealtime, Yelu Yan took Li Xianyun by the hand and brought her to Cirui Hall.

On their way just now, Yelu Yan had carried Li Xianyun all along.

Had it not been for Li Xianyun’s vehement struggling, Yelu Yan would have been loath to put her down.

As soon as they approached, Li Xianyun slipped out of Yelu Yan’s grasp and wrapped her arms around Yaduo’s arm, sweetly calling out, "Grandmother."

Li Xianyun had a cute baby-faced look, cheeks carrying a bit of baby fat, fair and tender, and was all-around scented.

Yaduo couldn’t help loving her more, and smiled, "My darling, Ayan hasn’t bullied you, has he?"

As Li Xianyun was about to speak, a certain someone protested, "Grandmother, can’t you wish us well for once? Besides, with your support, even if your grandson had ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare touch your precious treasure."

Yaduo laughed, "As long as you know. If Grandmother finds out you are not treating Xianxian well, I will be the first to not spare you."

Li Xianyun rested her head on Yaduo’s shoulder and said in a sweet voice, "Grandmother is the best to Xianxian."

Yelu Yan, while looking at the harmonious scene between grandmother and granddaughter, smiled, "Why do I feel a little redundant?"

"Good that you know."

"Good that you know."

Li Xianyun and Yaduo spoke in unison with such understanding.

After saying it, they looked at each other and laughed.

Yaduo patted the small hand resting on her arm and smiled, "Xianxian, are you hungry? If you are, I’ll have them lay out the meal."

Li Xianyun smiled and hummed in response, "Grandmother, I’m starving."

Pregnant people tend to not only be sleepy but also get hungry easily.

Li Xianyun didn’t know if it was all in her mind, but ever since she found out she was pregnant, it seemed like all the symptoms had appeared.

"Then let’s eat," Yaduo laid her hand on Li Xianyun’s small hand, "darling, Grandmother has prepared all your favorite foods."

"Grandmother is the best."

Yelu Yan followed behind them and said with a smile, "Grandmother is so biased, preparing what Xianxian likes every time, seeing only your granddaughter-in-law. You’ve thoroughly forgotten this grandson."
