Li Xianyun, upon hearing those words, looked up at Yelu Yan.
The gentle breeze rustled through the verdant leaves, causing his clothes to flutter, emphasizing his tall and noble stature.
Yelu Yan had a sturdy built and was tall and handsome, with profound and intense eyes like those of a tiger, making it difficult for people to look at him directly.
Li Xianyun averted her gaze from his, instead looking at his clothes, and prepared to stand up too.
Yelu Yan lifted his rough, large hand gently placing it on her slender, attractive shoulder with extreme tenderness.
Through the thin layer of clothing, Li Xianyun could distinctly feel the warmth of Yelu Yan’s palm, causing her pale and delicate face to slowly burn up, and her entire body stiffened.
Yelu Yan felt it, subsequently withdrew his hand and took a step back, his magnetic voice breaking the silence.
“Just sit and read, no need to stand up, I, the Khan, am leaving.”
Li Xianyun softly pursed her lips, looking straight ahead, yet not daring to meet his gaze, and softly murmured an acknowledgment.
After receiving a response, Yelu Yan gave Li Xianyun a deep look before striding away.
Li Xianyun watched Yelu Yan’s tall and straight figure receding, slowly raising her fair hand to cup her slightly hot face.
After Yelu Yan had gone, Youlan came back.
She looked at Li Xianyun with a smile, a touch of embarrassment in her expression.
Li Xianyun lowered her hand, looking at Youlan with dissatisfaction, and petulantly said, “You wretched girl, why didn’t you tell me when the Khan came?”
Youlan laughed, “This servant did not dare.”
Li Xianyun’s red lips parted, “So you only pick on the easy targets? You’re afraid of the Khan, but not afraid of me, and thus you bully me, is that it?”
Youlan played with the handkerchief in her hand, chuckling foolishly, “My dear master, who would dare to bully you of all people?”
“Next time the Khan comes and you sneak away without alerting me, be careful how I punish you,” Li Xianyun threatened.
Youlan went to Li Xianyun’s side, offering a sheepish smile, “Understood, my lady, please calm down, don’t be angry.”
Seeing that Li Xianyun was unmoved, she cheekily smiled, “My lady, my dear master, please don’t be angry, dear master, dear master…”
Li Xianyun looked at her playful and smiling face, finding herself completely unable to deal with her.
She abruptly turned her head to one side.
Youlan laughed, “My lady, this servant knows you are smiling, if you want to laugh, just laugh, no need to hold back.”
“You wretched girl,” Li Xianyun turned her head back, suppressing a smile as she spoke.
She indeed laughed.
Li Xianyun continued to read under the tree for a while but, somehow, she couldn’t concentrate.
Sometimes, she would read the words without grasping their meaning, forcing her to reread them.
After repeating this process several times, Li Xianyun lost interest in reading and decided to return to the kitchen.
Zhuo Ma saw Li Xianyun entering with Youlan, holding a paper, and greeted her with a smile, “My lady, I have inquired about everything, and this is the organized list.”
Li Xianyun took it, glanced at it, picked up the pen in Zhuo Ma’s hand, and circled the names of the top eight ice porridge flavors.
She planned to have Nata’s wife sell these eight varieties of ice porridge at the Ice Porridge Shop.
Li Xianyun, along with Zhuo Ma and Youlan, packed the flavor ingredients for the top eight kinds of ice porridge into small packets, making it more convenient for Nata’s wife to use them accurately.
By the time they finished these tasks, Li Xianyun was extremely tired.
The sky outside had also darkened.
After eating a little, Li Xianyun rested for a while and then indulged in a pleasant hot bath, changing into a set of loose clothing.
The weather outside was not very good, with heavy, low-hanging clouds, looking like rain was imminent, so Li Xianyun decided not to go for a walk in the yard.
While her hair was still damp, she leaned against the soft pillows at the head of the bed, reading for a while, then had Youlan and Zhuo Ma recheck the items to be taken the next day.
After everything was put in order, Li Xianyun ordered Zhuo Ma and Youlan to lower the mosquito net and lay down to sleep.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, large raindrops began to fall.
The sound of rain filled the world.
Thinking of the man who was so kind to her, Li Xianyun sat up in bed and called out, “Youlan.”
Youlan hurriedly pushed the door from the outer room and came in, asking with concern, “My lady, what are your orders?”

Li Xianyun asked, “Has the Khan not returned yet?”
“He has not,” Youlan said truthfully.
Li Xianyun looked out the window and saw the leaves violently shaking and shivering under the assault of the rain and cool wind, then spoke, “Youlan, ask the kitchen to prepare some ginger soup for the Khan. Have it sent to him when he returns.”
“Yes,” Youlan said.
The princess is truly thoughtful.
No sooner had Youlan spoken than she hurried to have the kitchen start preparations.
Li Xianyun continued to lie in bed, sleeping, as the weather was especially good for it.
Indeed, she fell asleep after a short while in the sound of the pouring rain and wind.
When Yelu Yan returned to the Khan Palace, his body was already drenched.
The palace servants saw Yelu Yan return, hastily took a large oil-paper umbrella, opened it, ran to his side, and held it high over his head to shelter him from the rain.
Yelu Yan told the guards following him to go rest, while he, accompanied by the palace servants, made his way to the main building.
All the palace servants and maids paid their respects to Yelu Yan.
Yelu Yan took the towel handed to him by a palace servant and wiped the rainwater from his head, face, and neck, then asked, “Has the princess rested?”
The rain started suddenly on his way back, pouring heavily and swiftly, soaking him in no time.
The wet clothes clung tightly to his body, which was very uncomfortable.
The chill wind was biting, and he and his escort guards shivered from the cold.
A maid respectfully answered, “Responding to the Khan, the princess has already rested.”
“It’s cold tonight. Make sure to close the princess’s windows so she doesn’t catch a chill,” he ordered.
Hearing this, the maids and palace servants felt joyful.
The Khan truly cared for the princess, and they were sincerely happy for her.
Only to hear a maid respectfully say, “Responding to the Khan, Youlan and Zhuo Ma have already had us check several times, the windows are all closed.”
Yelu Yan grunted and looked toward the direction of the side hall.
A maid paid her respects to Yelu Yan and said, “May I inform the Khan, have you dined yet? The princess instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal for you and specifically ordered them to prepare hot ginger soup for you, fearing you might catch a cold, and wanted to serve it to you to warm up. Would you like to have it brought over?”
The maid’s words were embellished, as Li Xianyun never said anything about “fearing catching a cold” or “warming up.”
Yelu Yan seemed casually to ask, “Was it prepared at the princess’s instruction?”
That maid replied with utmost respect, “Yes, the princess had already retired, but when she heard the rain outside, she worried about you catching a cold, so she quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare it.”
Upon hearing this, Yelu Yan felt as if warm springs were flowing through his heart, his whole body warmed.
He couldn’t help but smile and said, “I haven’t eaten. Bring the meal and the ginger soup together.”
The maid bowed respectfully, saying, “Yes.”
Several maids withdrew to prepare.
Yelu Yan’s gaze toward the side hall grew deeper.
