Chapter 279 Women make themselves beautiful to please those they like (second watch)
Li Xianyun had barely stepped out of the inner chamber when a little bundle threw itself at her, wrapping its arms around her legs and looking up at her, "Godmother, you’re finally back, Xuanxuan missed you."
Li Xianyun bent down to touch Yelu Xuan’s little head and smiled, "Godmother missed you too. I’ve brought back a lot of fun things for you."
Yelu Xuan was delighted to hear this and said with a smile, "Godmother, isn’t it a coincidence, Xuanxuan also brought you a gift."
Hearing that Li Xianyun had brought gifts for Yelu Xuan, Yuchi Qian, who stood by, performed a curtsy and said with a smile, "Thank you, Princess Consort."
Looking toward Yuchi Qian, Li Xianyun noticed that ever since Yelu Yu returned to Shangjing, she seemed much brighter, no longer appearing so lifeless.
Indeed, the old saying was true: A man would die for a confidante, and a woman would pretty herself for her beloved.
Li Xianyun bent down to pick up Yelu Xuan, smiling as she asked, "What gift did Xuanxuan bring for godmother?"
Yelu Xuan, nestled happily in Li Xianyun’s arms, couldn’t stop grinning and called out to those outside, "Bring the gift in."
Before the gift even arrived, Li Xianyun heard the tiny cry of a kitten.
A smile spread across her face, for surely Yelu Xuan must have heard that she loved cats and therefore chose a kitten as the gift.
