“Well, he’s polite, at least. And handsome enough to make a fool of anyone, but still. I really thought you had your eye on the prize when you left here.”
“Huan-ge is not a mistake, Li-popo,” Meng Yao replied quietly, lacing their fingers together protectively. Lan Xichen glanced down at their joined hands, feeling his heart thump a little harder, then swallowed as Meng Yao looked up at him with a warm gaze. “If I’m a fool, I’m happy to be. But…”
He looked back at Li-popo, his eyes turning wide and pleading. “His father has gone mad. It’s worse than either of us thought it would be. I really think that if he finds us, he’ll…”
Meng Yao’s voice faltered and Lan Xichen was impressed to see tears shining in his eyes. He himself was nowhere near so talented at acting, so he bowed his head, trying to look sad. Li-popo snorted, though, as though the story was amusing somehow.
“Well, what do you think he’s angrier about? His son marrying a man, or a whore?”
Lan Xichen blinked at his feet, sure he must have misheard.

Excerpt from chapter nine of ‘Impatient and Unkind’, a multi chapter 3zun fic with alternating POV. Canon compliant, very E rated, will be updating once or twice per week.
After hours of imperial work, Meng Yao Huangdi was relaxing at his private Jitang Entertainment hall in Jing Manor where he was served wine and pampered.
Fuying: Huangdi, Taizi and Taizifei had arrived in Pine Pavillion.
Yao: Good. They're a young couple that must spend time together.
I'm happy that they're home safe.
Suddenly, Lan Xichen goes to enter, but stops at the door, just to admire A-yao. How elegant and beautiful he is with his deep dimples and lashes. A gentle demeanor that commands respect.
Yao: Huan! Why are you at the door. Come in.
Xichen: A-yao Huangdi.
Yao: *walks towards him, then Xichen goes to kneel before his dear emperor *
Hey, there's no need.
Even though it's cute.
Xichen: Was I interrupting your relaxation?
Yao: *kisses* Never.
Xichen: *caresses his face* That's good. I was just admiring the most powerful emperor in the Jianghu.
Yao: Aw. A-Huan!
I believe you should admire me up close.
Xichen: Agreed. *kneels and puts his hands in his*
Yao: Oh Huan. Get up. Let's have a seat here.
*pulls him* Xiying, Huo Bin. Get him some tea.
~ yes Huangdi.
Xichen: How about some wine.
Yao: *scoffs* You? And wine?!
Xichen: Yea, why not?! These days I'm feeling a little daring! Also, I have lived as a concubine for years. Probably my alcohol tolerance has improved.
Yao: *laughing* Huan, please no.
Xichen: Come on. Just one cup.
Yao: I'm the emperor and I said no.
Xichen: *kisses him fondly* You know you can't use that on me.
Yao: *blushes*
But, it would be very entertaining though.
Xichen: let's put that aside for a while, dear Huangdi. There's something I wanted to try doing with you.
Yao: What's that?
Xichen: Well. Wangji and Wei Gongzi broke the bathtub on many occasions. So I thought that we can....*laughs shyly*
Yao: *turns more red, then gasps* Huan!
Xichen: We may head to your private bot springs and spend some time.
Yao: *buries his head in his chest*
Xichen: You're my everything, Huangdi. And I know I'm not worthy of being your concubine.
Yao: Who said that, Huan? You're my favorite concubine.
Xichen: I'm so relieved to hear that.
Shall we toast.
Yao:*sits up* Sure.
Xichen: So A-Yao. What's new?
Tell me everything.
Yao: Mn. Imperial-wise. The fox spirit clans are getting stronger and forming alliances on their own.
Sometimes I would have to send Emissaries to be peacemakers for any little conflict.
Xichen: Ohh that's ideal.
Yao: Definitely. This year had produced more cultivated fox spirits than last year, and that was from the fox spirit clans instead of the Jianghu's.
Xichen: I believe that fox spirits make the best student everywhere. Speaking for my sect alone, they're quite sweet and talented. And not to forget, mischievous at times.
Shufu doesn't have the patience, so I teach them instead.
Yao: How sweet of you!
Shufu is getting old.
Lan Xichen kneels in front of him lovingly, then props his head on his emperor's lap. Yao Huangdi on the other hand caresses his cheek and fondled with his headband.
(I believe this is a perfect way to discuss court politics!)
Xichen: *blush* Yea. He is.
Yao: I'm planning to make the hundred clans vassel states with honours, but that's a project in of itself.
Xichen: *caresses his hand* My Huangdi, you're quite brilliant. How about you boost their gentry title a bit. Higher ranking gentries will have more property, rights to expand their territories.
Yao: Good idea. I've also discussed this with Shanshan, and he said that the 5 great clans should stay more powerful than the rest of smaller clans, as they're closer to me.
Though I'm an advocate for equality, I must keep this as it is, to properly define my position as Huangdi.
Xichen: *in love* I agree with everything you say. And yes, A-yao. You must show them who the powerhouse is. Statistics even show that fox spirits helped the Jianghu prosper.
All thanks to you.
Yao: They've introduced new cultivation Sciences lately.
Xichen: That's amazing.
Now tell me about your children.
Yao: Ah, they're all well and prosperous.
A-Song and A-Qing went on a date.
Xichen: Awwwww!!
Yao: I advised them to do some family planning, in order make their position stronger.
Xichen: Ohh secure the position. *chuchles* Or do you just want to be a grandfather?
Yao: .........
Yao: Both.
Xiaobao and Huaien are happy together.
But I find that Huaien is a little bit of a yandere.
Xichen: So he's like team dimple?
Yao: More like team dimple and drunk Hanguang Jun in one!
Xichen: *laughing* Oh really?!
Ahahaha, I could imagine the chaos!
But I remember seeing him dragging him out at a banquet you had.
Yao: Right!
Even though it was amusing, I find it was a bit improper. Anyways! They're young and in love.
Xichen: Much like us at some point.
Yao: *blush* Huan.
Xichen: What about Jingyi? I don't hear about his bf.
Yao: Same. But it's his personal drama.
Xichen: Hua and Jinfeng Zun are really adorable togethet.
Yao: Oh yes they are!
You see, all my children have good taste like me.
Xichen: I see. *kisses* Ah, I need a drink.
I'll have half tea. And half wine.
Yao: What kind of concoction is that?!
Xichen: A good one.
So that I can pleasure the emperor.
Yao: *shakes head* You're crazy, you know that.
It's your stomach.
Xichen: *gulps it down, then held his head* A-yao.
Yao: Are you ok?!
Xichen: it tasted good, A-yao. *looks at him*
A-yao, your fox tails are so soft and beautiful.
Yao: *fondles his headband* Thank you.
Xichen: Mhm. Huangdi. I have something to ask.
What does Su Minshan even do?! Why do you mention him all the time? *hugs* You're mine.
Yao: Oh my goodness, Huan. He's my concubine too, and he's Xiandu. Speaking of Xiandu, I'm planning on having a Xiandu selection very soon.
Xichen: For real? Shanshan would be devastated.
Yao: Not at all. I'll promote him to another position.
Now let's don't talk about these stuff.
I'm yours, aren't I?
Xichen: *pout* mhm.
Let's go to the hot springs!!!
Yao: *turns red*
Xichen: *puts him in his arms*
Lan arm strength.
Yao: It's the best!!
A fanbook made for Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao, characters from the novel Mo Dao Zu Shi. In this more contemplative book, Lan Xichen reflect
Gorgeous Xiyao (and MDZS!) stickers* from the artist came out today, but for me, even more exciting was the release of this little book, which I bought in print and which arrived yesterday. It was beautifully written and illustrated, filled with poignancy and wonder, conveying so well the joy that LXC and JGY take in each other's company. Highly recommended.
(*Note: stickers ship only to Europe.)
Went digging for references in an oldish Magma board and found a bunch of mostly postcanon mostly Xiyao slop I never posted have it #hotslop #bonusxielian
“I hurt you.”
“Barely! I’ve had worse,” Meng Yao assured him honestly, thinking of some overzealous customers from the past, but his statement seemed to only upset Lan Xichen further; he set his jaw and dropped into a bow so deep his forehead touched the ground, much to Meng Yao’s horror.
“I am more sorry than I can say, and I swear to never harm you again-”
“Zewu Jun!” Meng Yao yelped, unthinkingly pulling Lan Xichen up by the elbows, which brought them rather abruptly almost nose-to-nose. They blinked at each other, and Meng Yao thought again how unfair it was that anyone should be so beautiful with ill-fitting clothes, dirt on his face and leaves in his uncombed hair.
“Meng Yao,” Lan Xichen said in little more than a murmur, and Meng Yao shivered at the sound of his personal name said in that soft voice. He wanted to look away from Lan Xichen’s steady gaze, knowing how obviously he was blushing, but he simply couldn’t. “It’s becoming clear that I’m to owe you many times over… but there are few I’d rather be indebted to. My life is in your hands, and my trust is absolute. What do you have planned?”

JGY got so excited for a moment he didn't notice LWJ also here
imagine the following scenario:
one day postcanon, a genie appears before lan xichen and offers lan xichen the following deal:
if lan xichen offers up the lives of any 20 gusu lan sect members of his choosing, then jin guangyao will be brought back to life.
the people whose lives lan xichen offers up are killed on the spot.
once resurrected, upon dying a second time, jin guangyao's soul will re-enter the reincarnation cycle as normal.
lan xichen can choose any 20 people, so long as they are members of the gusu lan sect, except for himself. lan xichen cannot offer up his own life.
if lan xichen accepts the deal, no one except he himself will know what he did.
the deal is available for the next 10 years, meaning that, at any point in the next 10 years, lan xichen can choose to accept this deal.
what would lan xichen do?
offer up the lives of 20 gusu lan members
do not offer anyone's lives (and so jin guangyao stays dead)
if you chose the first option:
who does lan xichen offer? how does he choose who to offer?
does lan xichen's choice of offerings include wei wuxian?
