Chapter 56: 056 Recognized as the Princely Heir’s Godmother (Second Update)

From a distance, Yelu Xuan murmured to himself, “It must be her, no doubt about it.”

After he had recovered somewhat, Yuchi Qian told him about what had happened that day, including that it was a princess consort from Khan Palace who had saved him, mentioning she was very beautiful.

Today, Yelu Xuan followed Yuchi Qian into the palace and, out of curiosity, couldn’t help sneaking over to Khan Palace to take a look.

He was small and nimble, and managed to evade all the palace servants and maids in Khan Palace.

Zhuo Ma was the first to notice Yelu Xuan and whispered to Li Xianyun, “Princess Consort, the Princely Heir is here.”

Following Zhuo Ma’s gaze, Li Xianyun saw the tiger-headed little fellow by the rockery.

When Yelu Xuan noticed Li Xianyun looking over, he gasped, quickly drew his little head back, turned around, and bolted, but he tumbled into a warm embrace.

Yuchi Qian hugged Yelu Xuan, looked down at him, and said breathlessly, “You’re off running again, are you trying to scare your mother to death?”

The maid behind Yuchi Qian said pantingly, “Little Prince, when we discovered you were missing, you have no idea how anxious the Princess Consort was, she was so frightened she nearly cried.”

Yelu Xuan looked at Yuchi Qian’s pale face, lowered his head, and said with embarrassment, “Mother, don’t be angry, Xuanxuan knows he was wrong, I won’t do it again.”

Despite being only five years old, he was extremely sensible.

Seeing Yelu Xuan relent, how could Yuchi Qian bear to scold him any further? Taking his chubby little hand, she said, “Mother will forgive you one last time, you mustn’t do this again, understand?”

“I understand, Mother.”

Yuchi Qian raised her hand to touch his little head, then led him, mother and son walking out from behind the rockery.

Li Xianyun thought he had left, but to her surprise, he returned.

All the palace servants and maids in Khan Palace bowed to Yuchi Qian and Yelu Xuan and said, “Greetings to the Princess Consort of the Sixth Prince, greetings to the Princely Heir.”

Yuchi Qian nodded to them and, pulling Yelu Xuan, approached Li Xianyun and said, lowering her head, “Xuanxuan, this is the princess consort of Khan Palace, it was she who rescued you from Ghost Gate Pass that day. Kneel down quickly and call her Godmother.”

Yelu Xuan obediently knelt down, kowtowed to Li Xianyun, and called out, “Godmother.”

Li Xianyun came out of the field and said, “This should not be.”

Her hands were smeared with some brown soil, so she let the maid by her side help Yelu Xuan stand up.

Yuchi Qian, looking at Li Xianyun, said, “Thanks to the Princess Consort that day, if it weren’t for you, Xuanxuan might have…”

As she spoke, she couldn’t stop the sob from coming.

These days, Yuchi Qian had nightmares almost every night, reliving that day over and over again.

The suffocating fear clung to her like a ghostly shadow, entangling her tightly.

“Don’t be sad and upset, it’s all in the past,” Li Xianyun consoled.

A maid brought over a basin of clean water for Li Xianyun to wash her hands.

Wiping her moist eyes, Yuchi Qian said, “My whole family is deeply grateful for the Princess Consort’s great kindness and virtue. I intended to visit earlier to express our thanks, but Xuanxuan was frail, so we only managed to come now. You’re like a second set of parents to Xuanxuan. I would like Xuanxuan to recognize you as his godmother, to honor and thank you. Would you be willing to accept Xuanxuan as your son?”

Li Xianyun washed the mud from her hands and took the handkerchief offered by the maid to dry them, saying, “You need not be so formal, it was all chance at that time; you mustn’t dwell on it.”

Yuchi Qian wanted to persuade her further, but was interrupted by a childish voice at her side.

“Godmother, what is that?” Yelu Xuan tugged at Li Xianyun’s sleeve and asked.

While Li Xianyun and Yuchi Qian were talking, Yelu Xuan’s gaze had been firmly captured by the swing chair under the sycamore tree.

Li Xianyun looked down at his chubby, adorable little face and couldn’t help but lean down and smile, “That’s a swing chair. Would Xuanxuan like to sit on it?”

“Yes, thank you, Godmother!” Yelu Xuan replied in his baby voice.

He didn’t seem shy at all, calling out “Godmother” quite naturally.

Zhuo Ma laughed and said, “Little Prince Xuan, this servant will take you there.”

Yelu Xuan was overjoyed and immediately followed her.

Yuchi Qian, looking at Li Xianyun, said, “Princess Consort, regarding the matter of Xuanxuan recognizing you as his godmother, what do you think…”

Li Xianyun, who could hardly resist anything adorable, had just been called with such sweet affection by Yelu Xuan and, looking at Yuchi Qian, laughed, “He has already called me godmother, it would be impossible to refuse.”

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Qian pursed her lips in a smile, bowed, and said, “Thank you, Princess Consort.”

Li Xianyun turned to watch as the Little Prince was lifted into the swing chair by Zhuo Ma, her lips curling upwards involuntarily, “Let’s go have a look.”

The two of them walked over together.

Once Yelu Xuan was seated in the swing chair, and Zhuo Ma ensured he held on tightly, she asked, “Little Prince Xuan, may I start pushing now?”

“Yes, go ahead,” Yelu Xuan said, his eyes smiling.

The swing chair began to sway gently, much more comfortable than a swing.

A swing would hurt one’s bottom, but this one was spacious and comfortable, and you could lean back in it.

“Higher, even higher,” Yelu Xuan laughed.

Zhuo Ma laughed and replied, “Little Prince Xuan, you are still small now, and cannot swing so high. When you grow up, you can swing very high.”

“But Xuanxuan wants to swing very high right now,” Yelu Xuan pouted.

Children are so pure-hearted, their thoughts transparent with just one glance.

Yuchi Qian said, “Xuanxuan, remember what your mother said when you came here, you must be obedient when you see the Princess Consort.”

Yelu Xuan pouted and replied, “Alright then.”

Li Xianyun suggested to Yuchi Qian, “You could sit with him, then he can swing a bit higher.”

Yuchi Qian laughed and said, “That would not be very appropriate.”

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it, I often sit in the swing chair myself,” Li Xianyun said with a laugh.

Yelu Xuan pleaded, “Godmother, sit with Xuanxuan, please.”

Yuchi Qian had no choice but to agree.

Zhuo Ma and Youlan grabbed the thick hemp ropes of the swing chair and slowly brought it to a stop.

As soon as Yelu Xuan heard that his godmother would join him, he scooted over, dangling his legs, delighted.

Yuchi Qian took a seat in the swing chair, one hand grasping the hemp rope, the other arm around Yelu Xuan.

Zhuo Ma laughed and said, “Princess Consort of the Sixth Prince, Little Prince Xuan, we’re going to start pushing now, hold on tight.”

After saying that, Zhuo Ma and Youlan gently pushed together, gradually applying more force, and the swing chair swung higher and higher.

Yelu Xuan couldn’t contain his happiness, cheering every time he reached the peak of the swing.

After a while, Yuchi Qian asked Zhuo Ma and the others to stop.

However, Yelu Xuan was not yet content and said, “Godmother, Xuanxuan wants to swing more.”

Yuchi Qian soothed, “In a while, your godmother will ask where she bought it from and then we can also buy one for you, alright?”

“Alright!” Yelu Xuan cheered happily.

As Yuchi Qian looked to ask Li Xianyun, Youlan laughed and said, “Princess Consort of the Sixth Prince, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find this outside, did the Princess Consort make this herself?”

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Qian turned to Li Xianyun in surprise.
