The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 643 - 641 Mother, look at him... (First Update)

Tia had finished prescribing medicine for a patient and hurried to the third courtyard.

As she arrived, she saw Yelu Yan massage Li Xianyun’s legs and feet.

Having sat in the carriage all the way, Li Xianyun’s feet and calves had become somewhat swollen.

Thus, as soon as they reached the guest room in the third courtyard, Yelu Yan had Li Xianyun sit on the Taishi Chair and knelt down to take off her shoes.

Li Xianyun pushed his head away and dodged, "Be careful, Mother might see us."

"What’s there to fear? Mother is most affectionate towards you, always afraid that I might treat you harshly. If she were to see how I’m caring for you like this, she’d definitely be very pleased. Be good."

Li Xianyun had no choice but to let him take off her shoes and allowed him to massage her legs and feet.

On this journey, Yelu Yan had frequently massaged Li Xianyun’s legs and feet.

And to tell the truth, after his kneading, it felt as if her circulation had improved greatly; it was very comfortable.

Seeing Tia enter, Li Xianyun quickly took her legs off Yelu Yan’s, and with a "whoosh," got up from the Taishi Chair. She didn’t even have time to put on her shoes, blushing in an instant, both shy and embarrassed, "Teacher... Mother."

Yelu Yan looked at Li Xianyun disapprovingly, "The ground is cold, put on your shoes."

Although it was early spring, the ground was still very cold.

Li Xianyun had no choice but to rely on Yelu Yan, preparing to bend down and put on her shoes.

But Yelu Yan had already put them on for her ahead of time.

Tia watched this tender scene with a smile, feeling genuinely happy seeing her son treat his beloved apprentice and daughter-in-law so well.

After Yelu Yan had put the shoes on Li Xianyun, both of them straightened up and saluted Tia.

Tia looked at her talented son and then turned towards Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun still had some baby fat, her cheeks soft and plump, but her neck had become thinner and longer, and she appeared to have slimmed down overall.

Tia could not help frowning, "Why have you lost weight again?"

Yelu Yan seemed to have found an ally, saying, "Mother, please talk to her for me. I told her she has lost weight, but she won’t believe it; getting her to eat just a bit more is as hard as reaching for the sky."

Such an exaggerated statement made both of them laugh.

"How can I not be eating well? It’s clearly you who made me eat too much."

"Each time, you eat just a little bread, only a tiny bit of meat, and few snacks; even a small bird eats more than you," Yelu Yan argued with reason.

Li Xianyun huffed and walked over to Tia, embracing her arm and complaining, "Mother, see, he calls me a little bird and says I eat bird food."

Tia patted Li Xianyun’s hand gently, then looked at Yelu Yan and said, "Ayan, speak nicely, you shouldn’t talk about Xianxian like that."

Yelu Yan responded, "I understand, Mother, but I wasn’t speaking without basis, she really is..."

"Mother, look at him," Li Xianyun interrupted.

Yelu Yan had no choice but to stop talking.

Li Xianyun was accustomed to acting coquettishly; if she used that coquettish energy on him, he might never want her to leave the bed.

Tia looked at Yelu Yan and said with a smile, "Ayan, you don’t need to continue. Xianxian understands all that you’re saying."

After speaking, Tia then turned to Li Xianyun and said, "You must eat well, alright?"

"I understand, Mother," Li Xianyun replied. "Mother, on the way back with Khan, I bought some gifts for you."

Yelu Yan was busy leading the troops and handling official duties; he had no time to attend to such matters, all of which were managed by Li Xianyun alone.

"Now it seems that credit is also given to him."

Li Xianyun spoke as she asked Youlan and Jinwu to bring over the gifts.

The couple quickly came in with big and small packages, piling them up on the table.

Tia looked at Li Xianyun with a smile in her eyes, "Xianxian, have you moved all your belongings over here?"

Walking to the desk arm in arm with Tia, Li Xianyun replied, "I still feel like I didn’t buy enough. I keep thinking mother might like this, mother might also like that, it seems like I wanted to buy everything for you."

"Good child, that’s very thoughtful of you."

Li Xianyun showed Tia the gifts she had bought one by one.

There were clothes to wear, useful items, beautiful hangings, and most importantly, many rare and precious medicinal materials.

When Tia saw those medicinal materials, her eyes lit up, "These herbs can’t even be bought with money, where did you get them?"

Yelu Yan joined the conversation as the two people skilled in medicine discussed a piece of wood-like medicinal material, "Mother, Xianxian found these on the march, dried them after picking, and brought them back. The several big bags of other herbs have been put in the pharmacy."

Tia smiled at Li Xianyun, "You are still the same as when you were a child, unable to move past any herbs without picking them."

"The medicinal materials at the pharmacies are too expensive, and many dishonest people mix in counterfeit goods, it’s better to pick them myself—no cost and guaranteed quality," Li Xianyun laughed.

Tia added, "Most importantly, it allows you to treat more people, right?"

Li Xianyun smiled and nodded.

Tia spoke to Yelu Yan, "You wouldn’t know, Xianxian became a famous doctor within miles at the age of ten."

Yelu Yan looked at Li Xianyun, his eyes full of indulgence, and praised her, "I had no idea you were that amazing." freёnovelkiss.com

Li Xianyun rested her head on Tia’s shoulder, "Isn’t it all because I have mother supporting me? When mother couldn’t consult patients, I took over and recorded their symptoms for her when I returned, for her to decide."

She had gotten into the habit of recording patients’ symptoms and treatment methods while she consulted, a habit she had developed since then.

The three of them spoke for a while longer.

It was mostly Li Xianyun and Tia talking, as if they had endless things to say.

Not mother and daughter, but better than that.

Had Tia not urged them, they would have stayed even longer.

"Xianxian, Ayan, quickly return to the palace, do not make the Imperial Noble Consort anxious."

Li Xianyun and Yelu Yan then took their leave from Tia.

The carriage left West Market, heading directly into the Imperial Palace.

People from Cirui Hall were already waiting there.

They bowed to Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun before saying, "Reporting to Khan, reporting to the Queen, the Imperial Noble Consort has prepared a banquet at Cirui Hall to welcome and refresh you."

Another palace servant added, "Aside from the family of the Great Prince and the family of the Sixth Prince, other princes and princesses are also here, all waiting in Cirui Hall just to welcome you and Khan."

Yelu Yan did not immediately agree, but instead looked at Li Xianyun with a smile and asked, "Xianxian, would you like to rest at Khan Palace or go directly to Cirui Hall?"

He respected Li Xianyun’s wishes greatly.

He always maintained her dignity, both in public and private.

Li Xianyun laughed, "Let’s go directly to Cirui Palace; grandmother and Xuanxuan surely are waiting anxiously."

The palace servant from Cirui Hall chimed in, "The Queen speaks rightly. Xuan Shizi has been looking forward to seeing you, not knowing how many times he has run to the Palace Gate or how many times he has asked."

These palace attendants, having grown up inside the palace from a young age, knew well how to keep their masters happy with their witty remarks.
