Li Xianyun ceased to speak, instead silently gazing at the beautiful night sky.
Next to the moon was a ring of pure white halo, quite lovely to behold, and as she looked at the vast, boundless night sky, Li Xianyun felt an unparalleled sense of comfort.
A gentle breeze came by, feeling very soothing on her skin, giving her an almost forgetful sense of what night it was.
Time passed without knowing how long, and as the night grew deeper and the air colder, Yelu Yan, afraid that Li Xianyun might catch cold, opened his mouth to ask, “Are you cold?”
After a long moment without a response, Yelu Yan sat up and saw that Li Xianyun had actually closed her eyes and fallen asleep.
Her breathing was even, a faint smile on her lips, serene and beautiful.
Yelu Yan couldn’t help the upward curve of his mouth, gazed at her for a moment, moved closer, picked up the cloak beside her, wrapped her up gently, and then lifted her into his arms.
Li Xianyun was disturbed by this and let out a disgruntled hum.
Yelu Yan looked down at her, only to see her nuzzle his front, searching for a comfortable position to continue her sleep, which only deepened the smile on his lips.
He carried Li Xianyun horizontally and leapt up, his toes touching the rooftops and palace walls, soaring across the sky above the Imperial Palace, his movements swift, light as a swallow.
When a patrol of soldiers saw someone walking on the palace walls and leaping away, they mistook it for an assassin and hastily brandished their weapons, only to breathe a sigh of relief upon realizing it was their own Khan.
The Imperial Palace was under strict guard; not even a fly could enter. How could an assassin possibly break in?
A young patrolling soldier couldn’t believe what he saw and said to his companion, “Was that the Khan who just passed by?”
“Hmm,” replied his companion.
“Was the Khan holding someone?”
“It should be the princess.”
The patrolling soldier’s mouth dropped open in disbelief, so late at night, the Khan, who never approached women, was actually holding the princess. Could it be…
Did the world have some misunderstanding about the valiant and wise Khan?
The centurion in charge of the patrol glanced at him coldly and said with displeasure, “From now on while serving in the palace, if it’s not your place to look, don’t look, if it’s not your place to hear, don’t listen, and if it’s not your place to speak, keep silent. Don’t end up losing your head without even knowing it!”
The young patrolling soldier immediately saluted and said repeatedly, “I understand, I understand.”
In fact, everyone was as shocked as the new recruit; they just didn’t voice it.
The rumors that the Khan adored the princess were true.
After a few leaps, Yelu Yan landed steadily at the main entrance of the Khan Palace.
Maids and Palace Servants waiting in the corridor quickly kneeled down and saluted, saying, “We greet…”
“Do not disturb the princess,” Yelu Yan sternly interrupted.
It was only then that everyone clearly saw the princess was asleep in the Khan’s arms, and they were so astonished their jaws nearly dropped.
Yelu Yan carried Li Xianyun straight to the side hall.
Zhuo Ma and Youlan hurried forward to serve, one on each side, opening the mosquito net.
Yelu Yan bent down and placed Li Xianyun gently on the bed, his rough hand cradling her little head to rest on the soft pillow.
Just as he was about to rise, he was suddenly embraced around the neck by Li Xianyun’s slender arms.
Yelu Yan hastily supported himself on the bed with his hands, lest his robust body press too heavily on the delicate and soft Li Xianyun.
Entwined in a faint, elegant fragrance, Yelu Yan’s entire body went stiff.
Youlan and Zhuo Ma looked at each other in surprise after witnessing this scene. What had happened after Khan and the princess had gone out? Had they suddenly become so close?
Li Xianyun still had her eyes closed, heavy with sleepiness, and hugged Yelu Yan while pouting and said sweetly, “I won’t let you go.”
Upon hearing this, Youlan and Zhuo Ma felt like they had stumbled on a huge secret. They hurriedly dropped the mosquito net with due understanding and quietly retreated, gently closing the door behind them.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, never having expected the Khan and the princess’s relationship to progress so quickly.
Yelu Yan looked at Li Xianyun incredulously and said, “You…”
“Xiaobai, don’t go~,” Li Xianyun cooed, her entire demeanor brimming with allure and a distinct charm.
It turned out she had mistaken him for her pet white cat.
Yelu Yan gently took hold of Li Xianyun’s delicate and soft arm, saying, “You are mistaken, I am not your little cat.”
“Mmm~”
Li Xianyun gave a dissatisfied hum, tightening her arm and pulling Yelu Yan down, their lips pressed together heavily.
Yelu Yan’s eyes widened in disbelief, his mind a complete blank.
Had they actually kissed?!
Before Yelu Yan could react, Li Xianyun secured her hold around his neck and began to gently peck at his handsome, warm lips while murmuring, “Xiaobai, when did you become so soft? Kissing you feels so comfortable.”
With that, she planted another firm kiss.
Yelu Yan’s rugged hands clutched the bedsheet, the grip growing tighter, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. Should he or shouldn’t he… She was his princess, after all.
In that moment, Yelu Yan had no grand ambitions in mind, having cast them all aside. He wanted only to follow his heart and instincts.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and open his mouth in response, Li Xianyun suddenly let go, placing her hands casually on the pillow, and said with a smack of her lips, “Xiaobai, go to sleep nicely, sister will play with you tomorrow.”
Sister?
Back in Chang’an, Li Xianyun had doted on her little white cat, even referring to herself as “sister.”
She would have brought the cat with her if she hadn’t been afraid it would suffer during the marriage alliance.
Looking down at Li Xianyun from above, Yelu Yan saw her face up close, their breath mingling.
His eyes first fell on her gently closed lids and long eyelashes, then moved downward, finally resting on her delicate, rosy, slightly parted lips.
Yelu Yan felt a rush of blood to his head, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and a wild voice screamed inside him, yearning to give in to the impulse as he lowered his head.
Just as he was about to touch Li Xianyun’s lovely lips, Yelu Yan abruptly stopped himself.
Li Xianyun was unconscious now. Could he truly take advantage of her in this state?
In the end, Yelu Yan slowly rose, his brow creased in frustration. He touched his nose with his slender fingers, took one last look at Li Xianyun’s attractive sleeping face, and pulled over the thin blanket to gently cover her.
After taking care of her, Yelu Yan got down from the bed, stretched out the mosquito net and fixed it meticulously, making sure no insects could get in.
It had to be said that this young girl had made a very pretty and practical mosquito net.
Yelu Yan stood beside the bed, looking at Li Xianyun through the net. She was deeply asleep, an image of innocence, unaware of the turmoil she caused in others.
To Yelu Yan, everything that had just happened felt like it had been a dream.
He straightened his clothes, no longer glancing at the little creature on the bed, and strode towards the door.
Youlan and Zhuo Ma, hearing the door open, hurriedly stood up from the couch in the outer chamber. They had assumed Yelu Yan would spend the night in the side hall; both were preparing to rest.
