Chapter 570: 568 My Lord, who has provoked you today? (First update)
Li Xianyun stretched out her arm to embrace Yelu Yan’s neck, cuddling with intertwined necks.
His neck was warm and comfortable to touch.
Li Xianyun was sensitive to the cold, but Yelu Yan’s body always felt like a furnace, very comfortable to cling to.
Therefore, be it night or day, Li Xianyun always liked to snuggle into Yelu Yan’s arms.
"I already ate," Li Xianyun said in a coquettish voice.
Though she hadn’t eaten much.
"Eating two pieces of mung bean cake counts as a meal?" Yelu Yan hugged her delicate and soft waist, not daring to apply too much pressure, as if using force might snap her slender waist in two.
Li Xianyun knew she was at fault and laughed out loud, slightly retracting her body.
That’s when Yelu Yan saw her bright, beautiful, laughing face.
Still hugging his neck, Li Xianyun looked at the burly man before her and changed the subject, "Husband, I’m still missing two weapons in my..."
Yelu Yan didn’t give her a chance to speak, lowering his head suddenly and pressing his mouth onto her lips, sucking on them intensely and wetly.
It wasn’t until both of their breaths grew hurried that Yelu Yan pulled back from her mouth, raising his hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of her lips, "Don’t change the subject."
Seeing her little trick exposed, Li Xianyun hung off Yelu Yan playfully, looking up at him, "But I’m not hungry."
"You need to eat something even if you’re not hungry. If you don’t eat properly, your body won’t hold up, and you’re a physician, aren’t you? You should know this better than me."
Here comes the nagging again.
The best way to deal with Yelu Yan’s nagging was to agree to everything at first, whether she’d do it or not, wasn’t that up to her?
In any case, if she enraged him, she would only be spanked on her bottom while sitting on his lap.
It wasn’t painful, like tickling, without any deterrent effect.
Li Xianyun was never scared of it.
"Mmh, got it," Li Xianyun crisply agreed.
Although she agreed readily, it was clear she wasn’t listening.
Yelu Yan truly didn’t know what to do with her.
Li Xianyun was not afraid of him at all; his words never held much sway in front of her.
She had been spoiled by him, and now he was reaping what he had sown.
Yelu Yan gently pinched her soft waist.
Ticklish, Li Xianyun squirmed her body, giggling continuously, "Husband, didn’t I just agree with you?"
Yelu Yan ground his teeth and said, "Don’t I know you? You say one thing and do another. If you continue not to eat properly, I will write to my mother and have her take care of you."
The Li Family’s journey to the Khitan had provided Yelu Yan with support.
At his words, Li Xianyun immediately became as wilted as frostbitten eggplant, snuggling into Yelu Yan’s embrace, pouting coquettishly, "Husband, you don’t care about Xianxian anymore."
"How could I not care about you? Telling you to eat well is for your own good, isn’t it?"
Li Xianyun nestled in Yelu Yan’s embrace and sighed softly, "Alright then, I’ll eat a bit more."
Saying so, she was about to get down from the table.
Yelu Yan pressed his torso against her, blocking her way.
Li Xianyun looked up at him, her eyes brimming with a playful smile.
This man, didn’t he want her to go eat something?
Now he wasn’t letting her go.
Yelu Yan’s large hand supported Li Xianyun’s thighs and lifted her up in a vertical embrace.
Li Xianyun, like a little monkey, had her legs involuntarily wrapped around his body, her arms continuing to circle around his neck, cuddling with intertwined necks.
So adorably obedient.
"Husband, I’ve almost completed designs for two more weapons. When they are ready, you can take them to the armory and let Zha Xi have a look. If there’s anything unclear, he can ask me," Li Xianyun continued the conversation they hadn’t finished earlier.
"Alright, my dear wife, I thank you."
Yelu Yan imitated the theatrical cadence of the Han people, quirky and funny, which was quite amusing.
Li Xianyun laughed heartily.
"What are you laughing at?" Yelu Yan asked with a smile.
Li Xianyun buried her small face in his neck, exhaling a fragrance like that of orchids, "Husband, calling yourself ’my dear’ with your stature feels a bit awkward."
Yelu Yan paused, "What? Does Xianxian not like such a big figure of a husband?"
"...I do."
She had now become as shameless as Yelu Yan in teasing.
Yelu Yan strode outward.
Their clothes rustled, and after only a couple of steps, Li Xianyun felt something unusual between her legs, leaving a small space with her face to look up at him mischievously.
Yelu Yan’s Adam’s apple moved, and he laughed out loud, "What’s wrong with your husband wanting you?"
Li Xianyun’s lips curved in a smile, a look of affection in her bright eyes, and rosy lips, "There’s nothing wrong."
"Why don’t we go spend a while on the bed?" Yelu Yan suggested invitingly.
Li Xianyun hummed in agreement.
The continuous battles at the border made it uncertain when Yelu Yan would lead his troops into battle personally, and whether she could follow him was a question.
Thus, these days, she was always ready to oblige Yelu Yan’s requests.
Yelu Yan was delighted, lowering his head to kiss Li Xianyun deeply before picking her up and striding towards the bed.
The bed curtains fell, concealing the overlapping shapes of the two.
When Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun emerged again, it was already the afternoon, and Li Xianyun was quite ravaged by their love-making, even walking oddly.
Fortunately, Yelu Yan held her the whole time.
He carried her to the main hall to finish a meal, then back to the inner chamber, and finally, upon Li Xianyun’s urging, he went to the Hall of Diligent Governance to attend to his duties.
Li Xianyun rested a bit until she felt less sensitive and then sat before the desk to continue drawing.
Only when it got dark did Li Xianyun finally finish the preliminary sketches of the weapons, including large machinery and ingeniously designed arms.
The Trebuchet and the Five-Arrow Repeating Crossbow that Li Xianyun had improved were ordered by Yelu Yan to be mass-produced and were widely used in the military.
In these recent battles at the frontier, the Trebuchet and the Five-Arrow Repeating Crossbow proved to be extremely effective, inflicting heavy losses on the Houliang soldiers, who had no power to fight back.
Meanwhile, the Khitan side suffered few casualties.
That night, Yelu Yan returned draped in starlight and moonlight, and seeing the weapons drawings Li Xianyun had completed, he was full of praise, assigning Jinwu with two guards to immediately deliver them to the armory for Zha Xi.
Jinwu and Youlan, even after their marriage, still served inside the palace; they had a residence outside but also had their own courtyard allocated by Li Xianyun within the palace grounds.
Inside the palace, there was plenty of space, so providing them with their own courtyard was not difficult.
Yelu Yan looked at Li Xianyun with a smile, "Xianxian, is there any food?"
Li Xianyun found it amusing, feeling as if they were like an ordinary couple, with the husband returning home to ask his wife for a meal.
However, Yelu Yan was the ruler of a nation, and when mealtime came, palace servants in the Hall of Diligent Governance would have already prepared his meal well in advance. How could he not have eaten?
Li Xianyun smiled and said, "If my husband wants to eat, there is surely food."
She then instructed a maid to set the meal.
Yelu Yan took Li Xianyun’s small hand, "Your husband wants you to accompany him during the meal."
"Alright."
Yelu Yan scooped Li Xianyun up and headed towards the main hall.
Every time Yelu Yan was present, Li Xianyun never walked on her own; she was carried back and forth, almost as if she were attached to him.
On the way to the main hall, Li Xianyun looked at him with her dark eyes, her lips curling playfully.
Yelu Yan caught her gaze and asked with a smile, "Why do you look at your husband like that?"
"Husband, who annoyed you today?"
