The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 102 The infatuated man only exists in the drawings of books (first update)

Chapter 102: 102 The infatuated man only exists in the drawings of books (first update)

Zhuo Ma thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn’t be."

Shouldn’t be?

Li Xianyun wasn’t satisfied with this answer.

What she wanted to hear was: There wasn’t.

Li Xianyun got out of bed and put on her shoes.

Youlan continued, "My lady, last night after you and Khan got into the carriage, we didn’t know if anything happened.

Li Xianyun nodded and said, "Alright."

She couldn’t remember anything, so she might as well assume she hadn’t done anything with Yelu Yan.

Youlan deliberately paused with a mischievous smile, "But as for what happened outside the carriage, we are quite aware."

With that, she covered her mouth and giggled with Zhuo Ma.

Li Xianyun playfully scolded, "Alright, you two seem to be ganging up on me, thinking you can flip the heavens? Today this consort will make pastries, and you two will not be eating any."

Threatening with food again.

Okay, it was indeed effective.

Youlan had a big reaction, hastily saying, "My lady, please don’t be angry, I’ll tell you."

Zhuo Ma looked at Youlan’s cowed appearance, shook her head, and then said very respectfully to Li Xianyun, "My lady, last night Khan carried you off the carriage to the bed, even took off your shoes personally, covered you with a blanket, and wiped your face with a wet towel. I have served Khan for so many years, yet I have never seen Khan be so gentle."

Li Xianyun didn’t look at the joyful expressions on the faces of Zhuo Ma and Youlan.

So much had happened last night, yet she had no recollection of it.

Just thinking about the things Yelu Yan had done for her made Li Xianyun wish she could crawl into a hole.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved.

Back then, she had no choice but to choose marriage alliance, thinking it would be fraught with dangers and hardships, yet she hadn’t expected to meet someone as good as Yelu Yan.

He respected her, and even let her do what she liked.

Li Xianyun was filled with gratitude towards Yelu Yan.

Zhuo Ma suddenly remembered something.

While preparing the washing utensils, she said, "My lady, last night when we returned, Rong Ge from the Empress Dowager’s Palace was waiting outside the Khan Palace, not sure what for."

Li Xianyun raised her fair little hand and took the cup Youlan passed to her.

She drank a few mouthfuls of water every morning after waking up.

"To see Khan?" Li Xianyun asked.

Youlan nodded and said, "Yes, it seemed like Khan didn’t want to deal with her, making her kneel at the door for a long time. In the end, it was Grand Imperial Consort who had someone call her away."

Li Xianyun took a sip of water, thinking to herself that without a word from Yelu Yan, Rong Ge wouldn’t dare stand up on her own.

Zhuo Ma said to Li Xianyun, "My lady, could it be that Khan knew Rong Ge was disrespectful to you and purposefully punished her?"

Youlan also chimed in, "Yes, Khan is really good to my lady."

Li Xianyun handed the cup back to Youlan and said, "You two maids think too much, Khan has his own reasons for doing things."

And that reason could never be because of her.

Passionately foolish men only exist in picture books.

Furthermore, a person like Yelu Yan could not be further from a passionately foolish man.

These two maids just loved to concoct baseless tales.

Zhuo Ma and Youlan exchanged glances.

Indeed, love blinds the in-love, while bystanders see it all too clearly.

Everyone could see that Khan’s affection for the princess wasn’t ordinary, only the princess herself was oblivious.

It was truly exasperating.

After Li Xianyun finished washing up and had a bit of rice, she wrote down a list of items she needed on a piece of paper and handed it to Bater, instructing him to fetch the items.

She planned to make a wheelchair for Xiao Dilu, also known as the "Zhuge Wuhou car."

Since Xiao Dilu had been deeply poisoned and suffered fundamental damage, it was nothing short of a miracle that he could stand and walk. To be able to walk on his own, it would take no less than a month.

During this time, he needed to recuperate gradually and take good care of himself.

However, seeing Xiao Dilu’s eagerness, it was certain he would rush things and practice every day.

He was also a stubborn old man who didn’t take advice, which would only backfire on him.

Therefore, when Xiao Dilu looked forward to attending court with great anticipation, Li Xianyun made up her mind to make a wheelchair for him.

This way, he could move around more easily without forcing himself to practice.

After giving Bater her instructions, Li Xianyun headed to the kitchen. She intended to make some mung bean cakes and date cakes to sell at the Ice Porridge Shop, which was opening tomorrow.

As soon as Li Xianyun arrived at the kitchen with Zhuo Ma and Youlan, all the kitchen maids knelt down and saluted her, saying, "Greetings to the princess consort."

"Rise," Li Xianyun said with a smile.

The Chief of the kitchen came up to Li Xianyun and respectfully said, "Princess consort, would you like some sobering soup? Last night the Khan ordered the kitchen to prepare it for you, to be served whenever you feel unwell."

As a result, Li Xianyun had not asked for it to be served, so it had been kept warm on the stove all this time.

The Khan was really considerate towards the princess consort.

Li Xianyun said, "Then bring me half a bowl."

She had massaged her acupuncture points in the morning and felt much better, but there was still a bit of bitterness in her mouth, which drinking some sobering soup could alleviate.

Li Xianyun had resolved never to indulge in drinking again; the feeling of being drunk was too unpleasant.

Of course, it seemed she hadn’t suffered too much, all thanks to Yelu Yan. If Yelu Yan hadn’t intervened, who knows how much more she would have drunk.

A kitchen maid brought over half a bowl of sobering soup and respectfully handed it to Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun took a sip and asked, "Has the Khan had any sobering soup?"

Surprised, the Chief of the kitchen asked, "Did the Khan also drink?"

This morning when she had served the Khan his breakfast, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual about him.

Throughout the meal, the Khan had made many instructions concerning the princess consort.

Things like ensuring the princess consort ate some liquid food and prepared some light dishes, his attention to detail was meticulous and comprehensive.

The Chief of the kitchen couldn’t help but feel, where else could one find such a handsome and considerate man like the Khan?

Hearing this, Li Xianyun couldn’t help but marvel at Yelu Yan’s capacity for alcohol.

Yesterday Yelu Yan had been toasting and drinking with the men, and nobody knew how much he had consumed. Yet, he hadn’t been drunk at all, which spoke volumes of his impressive tolerance.

After finishing her sobering soup, Li Xianyun handed the bowl to a kitchen maid and said with a smile, "Today, this consort will teach you all how to make pastries."

All the kitchen maids had been waiting for these words.

They knew that whenever the princess consort came to the kitchen, there would be something delicious.

A kitchen maid asked, "Princess consort, what kind of pastries are you going to teach us to make?"

Li Xianyun replied with a smile, "This consort will teach you how to make mung bean cakes and date cakes."

The Chief of the kitchen’s eyes widened; she had heard of both kinds of pastries.

It was said that mung bean cakes were crumbly and refreshingly cool, melting instantly in the mouth, and very delicious.

The date cake was even more famous for its soft, sweet, and sticky texture. Due to its deliciousness, it was an imperial pastry in the court of Houtang.

She had heard of them but had never tasted or made them.

Hearing that Li Xianyun was going to teach them, the Chief of the kitchen was so excited that she bowed and said, "Thank you, princess consort."

The other kitchen maids also bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Li Xianyun rolled up her sleeves, revealing half of her fair and beautiful arm.

The kitchen maids couldn’t help admiring that someone beautiful was beautiful in every way.
