The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

After the Liao King and his daughter left, the banquet suddenly became quiet and the little incident was over.

Queen Mother Yan turned her gaze to Duke Xia. She wanted Duke Xia to accompany her in order to improve her relationship with Boya.

As a result, the stubborn old man, Duke Xia, just stood there with red eyes, and didn't say a word.

Queen Mother Yan glared at Duke Xia and said, "Duke Xia, since Xiaoya has been granted the title of Prince Bo of Yan, a Prince Bo Palace should be built in Yanjing. I think this matter should be left to Duke Xia."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Duke Xia shook his beard and responded quickly.

He didn't expect that his grandson would suddenly become the King of Bo of Yan State.

He also wanted to say a few words to Xiaoya, but he didn't know how to start.

He lost his most beloved daughter and felt sorry for Xiaoya.

Now that Xiaoya has grown up and is so capable, even if he wants to make amends, he doesn't know how.

Perhaps Xiaoya no longer needs him as a grandfather.

Emperor Yan looked at the slightly awkward atmosphere in the hall and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother, it's getting late. Why don't we end the banquet here first? I will entertain my dear brother Prince Bo another day when I'm free."

"Okay, I'm a little tired too." Queen Mother Yan smiled and looked at Si Yan and Boya, "I'll have to trouble Ayan and Xiaoya to take care of the affairs of Yan State."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Si Yan and Boya both stood up and respectfully saw the Empress Dowager off.

It's dark outside.

There was a howling of frost in the north.

The maids in the Yan Palace held palace lanterns in their hands. Nanny Ji helped the empress dowager back to her room and asked someone to bring hot water for her to soak her feet.

As Nanny Ji was taking off the Queen Mother's shoes, she casually mentioned, "Queen Mother, Master Bo is a handsome man, both beautiful inside and out. I wonder what kind of woman he likes?"

"You haven't figured it out yet?" Queen Mother Yan glanced at Nanny Ji and sighed softly, "He likes Ah Yan."

Aunt Ji was stunned: "What should I do?"

Nanny Ji followed the Empress Dowager and naturally had a keen eye. She had noticed that Boya had a special attitude towards Si Yan.

She brought up this matter to remind the Queen Mother that Miss Si and Master Bo seemed to be getting too close.

Queen Mother Yan shook her head: "There's no way to fix it. Matters of the heart are the most difficult to deal with."

Nanny Ji helped the empress dowager wash her feet and then massaged her feet.

"This Mr. Bo likes Miss Si. I wonder if Miss Si knows?"

"He should know." Queen Mother Yan's eyes were deep. Ah Yan was so smart, he would not be unaware of it.

Just like how the King of Liao liked her back then, how could she not know?

But what else can we do?

Nanny Ji couldn't help but look worried: "Then, what about Prince Yan..."

"Do you think Yi'er doesn't know?" Queen Mother Yan snorted. "He knows exactly what kind of stunning woman he likes."

Aunt Ji: ...

Nanny Ji was speechless for a moment. Since the Queen Mother and Prince Yan knew it clearly, she was just being too suspicious.

"Don't worry, Ayan knows what he's doing." Queen Mother Yan sighed slightly. Who is Ayan?

She was someone who could even reject Emperor Daxuan. How determined was she?

"Yes, I'm sorry for talking too much." Nanny Ji asked someone to bring the foot washing water away and helped the empress dowager wash up and go to sleep.

Si Yan and Boya left the palace together. Duke Xia followed them. The three of them walked in silence.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Duke Xia looked at Boya, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he only said "goodbye".

Boya returned the greeting without saying anything more.

There were no pedestrians on the streets of Yanjing City, and the people in the city had all gone to sleep.

Boya looked up and saw the carriage of Prince Yan's mansion parked at the palace gate. Yun Li was standing beside the carriage, holding the sword in both hands, waiting for A Yan.

Boya smiled gently: "Ayan, I see you didn't eat much tonight, why don't you go to Yayue Pavilion to eat something?"

Si Yan raised her eyes slightly. She had been thinking about the Hu Lu and Beimang Kingdom most of the time tonight, and indeed had not eaten much.

"No, it's too late. You should go back." Si Yan looked towards the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion, "I have to go back too."

Boya opened his lips and nodded, but did not move.

The cold wind blowing on the face makes people particularly sober. Boya's eyelashes tremble slightly and he gently raises his eyes.

"To be honest, Ah Yan, I rejected Princess Yongning today because I already have a woman I like."

There was a slight stillness in the air, and the snow beneath our feet turned to ice as the pedestrians trampled on it.

Si Yan stood on the ice and snow, his dark eyes like stars in the vast night sky: "Really? Who is it?"

Boya hid his feelings for her very deeply, and he never crossed the line, but Si Yan could still feel it.

His meticulous, even constant, care was like a current in the air, surrounding her tightly.

But she couldn't respond to this.

Si Yan needs an opportunity, an opportunity to refuse Boya and make things clear to him.

As long as Boya tells her that the person he likes is her, she will reject him.

Boya also knew that they could only be friends, best friends.

Boya smiled faintly: "She is a very good girl. Although she is not as outstanding as A Yan, she is very good to me. When I have time in the future, I will introduce her to A Yan."

Boya's tone was cheerful, and his face had a bright expression, revealing a faint happiness.

The air became quiet again, and the cold wind around seemed to solidify, freezing people.

Boya thought Si Yan would be happy, but she wasn't. The smile on her face remained unchanged, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Boya, you are an excellent man. You will eventually meet the person who belongs to you. Don't worry."

Si Yan said softly, turned around and got on the carriage.

Boya stood there in a daze. Did A Yan see through him?

The carriage was shimmering as it moved forward, and Afan came up from behind Boya.

"Why did you lie to Miss Si, sir?"

Ah Fan has been with his master for more than ten years, but the master has no one he likes.

The only person the young master likes is Miss Si.

Boya looked at the receding tire tracks on the ground and said, "If I don't say this, Ayan will distance himself from me."

He gets along with Ayan as a good friend, but some things in his heart cannot be hidden after all.

His feelings for A Yan have long surpassed those of friendship. Although he has never thought of getting A Yan, he has never thought of leaving A Yan either.

He didn't want his existence to cause any trouble to A Yan, so he said that he had someone he liked.

But he still underestimated A Yan's understanding of him.

Ah Yan's words were telling him not to force himself to do things he didn't want to do or to look for people he didn't want to look for.

Boya smiled slightly. As long as Ayan didn't alienate him or avoid him, anything would be fine.

Si Yan was sitting in the carriage, lost in thought, when suddenly the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.

Anyone riding a horse in Yanjing City late at night must be of high status. Si Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and a familiar handsome face appeared before him.

Yan Longyi dismounted, jumped onto the carriage where Si Yan was, and got in.

"Ayan, are you cold?" Yan Longyi habitually touched Si Yan's hand and found that Ayan's hands were not cold, but his own hands were a little icy.

He was afraid that Si Yan would be cold, so he quickly let go, but Si Yan held his hand and kept it warm in his palm.

"You've been busy outside all day. Have you eaten?" The man was full of the smell of wind and snow, and there was not much heat left in his body.

"Not yet." Yan Longyi was too busy today. He ate something in a hurry at noon and hadn't eaten dinner yet.

However, matters at the Yanbei border have been almost arranged.
