The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Petite Princess VS Rough Khan On their wedding day, Yelu Yan told Li Xianyun that apart from affection, he could provide her with endless wealth and honor. After the marriage, he indeed kept his promise, cherishing her in the palm of his hand. Little did he know, the more he cherished her, the deeper she burrowed into his heart, right to the very top. Not long after the political marriage with the Khitans, Li Xianyun gradually noticed earth-shattering changes around her: Initially, the commoners who disliked her began to worship her as a deity... The court officials accusing her of bewitching their lord were now pleading with her to consummate the marriage with the Khan... The most perplexing of all was her husband in name; wasn’t he the one who said he wouldn't give her emotional affection? Why was he always following her around? Little theater scene 1: One day, Yelu Yan cornered Li Xianyun against the wall. “Why are you avoiding this Khan?” “They say you might have taken a liking to your servant.” “Remove ‘might’, isn’t it obvious enough from how this Khan acts?” “But you said you wouldn’t give your servant emotional affection.” Yelu Yan held his forehead; he had indeed said too many foolish things. “The Han people always say that one should start a family and then establish a career; clearly, the two are not in conflict.” Little theater scene 2: The sun had risen high, yet Yelu Yan was still clinging to Li Xianyun. “Get up quickly, I have to leave. There are patients on the street waiting for my consultation, the good fields to the west need irrigation, the homestead plots in the east need measuring, and I have to oversee the silk reeling and dyeing... Uh...” “Your husband is a patient, don’t you care for him?” Li Xianyun looked at the man tough enough to rival ten bulls and was utterly speechless.

305 Visiting the Fields (Second Watch)

Li Xianyun and Sang Yanlin discussed the details and then came out of the house.

Sang Yanlin personally selected five or six capable and meticulous individuals for Li Xianyun, who also had some knowledge of geology and irrigation.

When Li Xianyun arrived in the Northern Region with his party, he saw the group from the day before digging canals; they were using spades that appeared to be brought from their own homes rather than being uniformly supplied.

A smile curved at the corners of Li Xianyun's mouth; Yelu Yan really did have a way with managing people.

These people hadn't committed any unforgivable errors; imprisoning them was a waste of the food in the jails. It would be better to punish them by having them do something practical, allowing them to redeem themselves by digging canals—thereby saving on the labor needed for digging.
