After I kissed the rough man Khan, I was busy farming in the grassland

Along the way, Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun rode their horses hand in hand under the warm sun, or lingered on the beautiful scenery along the way, watching the clouds roll by, the birds fly across the sky, and the withered reeds swaying in the unfrozen water...

When the weather was fine and the scenery was beautiful, Yelu Yan would ask people to spread thick felt cloth on the withered grass, build a bonfire next to the felt cloth, and barbecue.

Li Xianyun was lying on a thick cushion, and Yelu Yan forced her to wrap herself in a soft blanket.

"You should keep warm so that you won't suffer so much next time you have your period."

Yelu Yan attached great importance to Li Xianyun's health and strictly controlled her warmth and diet.

With Yelu Yan's careful care, Li Xianyun felt much better than in previous menstrual periods and was no longer in excruciating pain.

But it would be so embarrassing if someone heard me talking about menstruation so blatantly.

Hearing this, Li Xianyun looked around somewhat unnaturally.

Fortunately, Yelu Yan sent all his followers away.

They gathered in groups of three or five along the river, some distance apart.

Some people were roasting meat over a campfire, while others were gathered around the fire, warming themselves and chatting.

Youlan and Jinwu sat together, exchanging a few words from time to time.

The smile on Jinwu's face could not be hidden.

Li Xianyun turned to Yelu Yan and said, "Speak softly, be careful not to be heard."

"How can they hear so far away?" Yelu Yan smiled at her, then looked towards the fire and continued grilling the meat.

The hot bonfire makes people feel warm and comfortable.

Li Xianyun only sat for a while before looking at Yelu Yan eagerly.

Yelu Yan turned his head and nudged her gently with his shoulder, saying with a smile: "Xian'er, you look as if I have bullied you. Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Husband, can I take the blanket off you? It's really hot. I don't believe you touching my hand."

Li Xianyun said this while covering her small hand on Yelu Yan's big hand, sweating profusely.

"I'm sweating." Li Xianyun pouted and complained.

When Li Xianyun is naughty, she is really naughty, and when she is well-behaved, she is really well-behaved.

For example, now, she is so obedient that he really wants to hug her and give her a good kiss.

Yelu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, take the blanket away."

Li Xianyun happily took away the soft blanket, hugged her knees with her arms, put her little head on Yelu Yan's arm, and leaned against him with her body soft as if without bones, quietly watching him put the meat on the campfire and roast it.

Like a docile little animal.

Men on the grassland like to drink and eat meat.

Along the way, Li Xianyun saw many yurts and many men and women barbecuing around campfires.

In Khitan, it seems that everyone knows how to barbecue.

In fact, things like grilling meat could be left to the servants, but Yelu Yan insisted on grilling it for her himself.

It was as if she sincerely wanted to show off her skills in front of him.

Li Xianyun suddenly remembered that when she was traveling on the grassland, she saw a man barbecuing outside his yurt, so she casually praised him.

She had almost forgotten what she was praising, but unexpectedly Yelu Yan had remembered it in his heart.

Yelu Yan felt Li Xianyun's gentleness and kindness, and his heart was filled with ripples, swinging gently in circles, "Are you hungry?"

Li Xianyun shook her head.

"It'll be ready soon."

"Ah."

The skewers of meat on the fire sizzled and dripped with oil.

The oil stains fell on the charcoal and a trail of white smoke rose up.

The aroma of the meat is everywhere, tempting the taste buds and making people drool.

Yelu Yan scooped a small spoonful of salt from the small box on the table next to him and sprinkled it evenly on the skewers.

The wooden box for seasonings is divided into several compartments, and each compartment has a tightly fitting lid.

There is a seasoning in each grid.

The skewers will be more fragrant when seasonings such as cumin are sprinkled on them.

Li Xianyun couldn't help swallowing and urged, "Husband, when is the best time?"

"can not wait anymore?"

"Ah."

Yelu Yan smiled and said, "Wait a little longer. The meat won't be cooked through and you'll get a stomachache if you eat it." "Yes."

The meat was finally grilled. Yelu Yan picked up a skewer and placed it next to Li Xianyun's mouth. "Try it and see how salty it is." He then kindly reminded her, "Be careful not to burn it."

Li Xianyun leaned over and blew on it, then took a small bite. The taste of meat, salt and cumin landed on the tip of her tongue. It was delicious.

"It's delicious." Li Xianyun said while chewing, "But why don't you put chili in it?"

It would taste better with chili pepper.

And she clearly saw red chili powder in the box.

"Women should not eat spicy food, it is bad for menstruation."

Menstruation, menstruation, and menstruation again.

“But I just want to sprinkle it with chili.”

Just now it was as well-behaved as a docile little animal, but now its sharp claws are showing.

"No." Yelu Yan refused to give in.

Li Xianyun glanced at him and struggled to get up.

Yelu Yan quickly freed one hand and grabbed her slender wrist, smiling, "Where are you going?"

Li Xianyun said confidently, "If you don't give me food, I'll go eat somewhere else."

"I'm doing this for your own good," Yelu Yan said with a smile, "Okay, I can only eat one spicy one."

"Five skewers." Li Xianyun bargained.

"Two strings, no more."

"Okay." Li Xianyun said with a smile.

She only wanted to eat two skewers originally, but she deliberately asked for a few more so that it would be easier to close the deal.

"Then sit still."

"Ah."

Li Xianyun said this and sat back down next to Yelu Yan to eat the unfinished skewers of meat.

Yelu Yan turned to look at her.

It's rare to see her eating so obediently, so I couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the top of her head.

The years are peaceful, making people reluctant to let time pass.

Yelu Yan sprinkled chili powder on the skewers and handed them to Li Xianyun, "Be careful of the heat."

"it is good."

Li Xianyun took a bite and passed the skewer to Yelu Yan, "Husband, try it, it tastes better with chili."

Yelu Yan reminded him, "Even if it's delicious, you can only eat two skewers, understand?"

"I know, I know. Come and try it." Li Xianyun handed him another skewer of meat and said with a smile.

Yelu Yan lowered his head and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?" Li Xianyun asked, tilting her head to look at his reaction.

"good to eat."

Both men laughed.

Whenever the two of them are together, they always seem to laugh enough.

After eating and drinking, the two of them lay on the felt and basked in the sun.

There is the scent of dry grass in my nostrils, and occasionally an unknown bird flies by.

The winter sky is as blue as if washed by water, and the clouds are dazzlingly white as if they were carved.

Yelu Yan held Li Xianyun's little hand and rubbed it from time to time.

Her little hands are so slender and smooth that people always want to hold them in their palms and play with them.

At first, Li Xianyun would smile and playfully tickle his palm a few times in response, but she stopped later.

Yelu Yan turned his head and saw that Li Xianyun had closed her eyes and fallen asleep without him knowing when.

He smiled and leaned closer to Li Xianyun, looking at her with a smile on his face.

When Li Xianyun woke up, she didn't want him to get so close to her at all.

With so many people accompanying them, how can two of them be so affectionate? (End of this chapter)
