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

The Imperial Noble Consort didn't say much. The Xin family had done so many things like this that she was no longer surprised.

"I'm relieved to leave everything to you." The imperial concubine said in a gentle voice.

Wei Shu was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "You must also be careful of Situ's daughter. This girl is very extraordinary. Not only Prince Yong, but also Prince Yan, are completely obedient to her."

When mentioning Si Yan, Wei Shu couldn't help but frown, especially when he thought of what happened in the dilapidated temple, which made him feel ashamed.

Wei Shu was a powerful figure in the capital, but he never expected that a young girl would strip him of his clothes and investigate his identity.

If Wei Shu's identity was so easy to investigate, he would have died countless times.

The Imperial Concubine was puzzled. "This daughter of the Minister of State was once unknown. I don't know how she became so prominent after a trip to the border. She even dared to meddle in important court affairs and military and political affairs."

Wei Shu's face darkened as he said, "In short, be careful of her. She's the type who'll take the initiative. Last time, Zhen Zhinian's son accidentally ran into her, and Zhen Zhinian was bitten, resulting in him being demoted one rank."

"I understand." The Imperial Concubine had also suffered at the hands of Si Yan.

Seeing that the emperor liked Si Yan, she asked the emperor to take Si Yan as his concubine. However, the emperor was angry with her because of this, and they have not reconciled yet.

It seems that the emperor would not forgive her unless she used a trick of self-torture.

The Imperial Concubine thought about how she had tried every possible way to please the Emperor, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Old Wei, I miss you so much..."

"Your Majesty, please restrain yourself." Wei Shu patted the Imperial Concubine's hand. "When Prince Xin ascends the throne, Your Majesty will be the Empress Dowager. Then you can do whatever you want."

The Imperial Concubine smiled and looked at Wei Shu: "Is it okay if I want to keep you as my male concubine?"

"Okay." Wei Shu said lovingly, "Go back to the palace first. Don't stay out for too long."

The imperial concubine sighed softly, reluctantly let go of Wei Shu's hand, and left Prince Chen's Mansion.

The carriage rumbled towards the palace.

Si Yanze had just left the palace and wanted to go directly to Yayue Pavilion, but he didn't expect his father to be waiting for him.

She glanced around and walked towards Si Zhengxuan.

Si Yan knew that Yan Longyi was waiting for her, but since her father was here, she could only let him wait.

"Father, I have been delayed in the palace for a long time. Please do not wait for me anymore. Please return home first."

Si Yan got on the carriage of the Situ Mansion and sat next to his father.

"Want to go to Yayue Pavilion again?" Si Zhengxuan asked quietly.

"Um... Father, are you going? Together."

"Father really wants to go." Si Zhengxuan said seriously.

"Then let's go together." Si Yan said casually.

Si Zhengxuan: ...

He thought this girl had some secrets, but he didn't expect her to be so frank.

This girl is also filial. She even ordered meals from Yayue Pavilion and had them delivered back to Situ Mansion.

The moment Yan Longyi saw Si Yan get on the carriage, his eyes were full of helplessness.

Today, Jia Zhongchun accompanied him out of the palace and insisted on sending him back to the envoy's inn to rest.

He said that he had been to Shangjing City several times and was very familiar with it, so Jia Zhongchun didn't need to be polite.

Jia Zhongchun said that he was free anyway and wanted to accompany him for a walk.

He finally got rid of Jia Zhongchun and waited at the palace gate for the little girl, but he didn't expect that Lord Situ had also been waiting for his daughter.

Yun Li watched the Situ Mansion carriage leave: "Your Majesty, where are we going now?"

Yan Longyi didn't say anything.

He was wondering, should he go to Situ Mansion openly or secretly?

If he goes openly, Lord Situ will definitely meet him and will not give him the chance to be alone with A Yan.

Going there secretly is not a gentleman's behavior.

Anyway, no matter how he gets there, he must go.

When the carriage arrived at Yayue Pavilion, Si Yan really stopped the carriage, and Si Zhengxuan followed his daughter out of the carriage.

He passed by the Yayue Pavilion every time he went to court, but he had never been inside.

As soon as Si Yan entered the door, a waiter notified A Fan, and A Fan immediately notified Boya.

Boya came downstairs in person and was slightly stunned when he saw the middle-aged man next to Si Yan.

Si Yan smiled slightly: "My father said he wanted to come to Yayue Pavilion and sit for a while."

"Please come in, Lord Situ." Boya naturally knew Si Zhengxuan, but he didn't expect him to come, so he couldn't help but respectfully invite Lord Situ to go upstairs.

At this moment, Yan Longyi appeared at the door: "Hey, Miss Si, what a coincidence!"

Yan Longyi originally thought that Si Yan would go all the way back to Situ Mansion, but unexpectedly he stopped at Yayue Pavilion halfway.

"King Yan." Si Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the man who followed him all the way.

Seeing the smile on Si Yan's face, Yan Longyi's heart beat faster.

He saw Si Zhengxuan looking back and couldn't help but bow respectfully: "Greetings, Master Situ."

"Is the King of Yan here for dinner too?" Si Zhengxuan looked at Yan Longyi with a strange expression. He was supposed to go to the envoy's inn.

When Prince Yan left the palace today, he even said hello to him. Logically, he should have returned to the envoy's inn to rest.

Yan Longyi said politely, "Yes, this Yayue Pavilion Restaurant is world-famous, and we also have one in Yanjing City. I missed the food there very much, so I thought of coming here for dinner. I didn't expect to run into Lord Situ and Miss Si."

"King Yan." Boya also turned around and walked out, bowing to Yan Longyi.

When he was in Yanjing, he had already known Yan Longyi, and the two had even had a drink together.

Yan Longyi also bowed and said, "Master Boya, how are you?"

Boya gestured to everyone, "It's inconvenient to talk here. Please take a seat in the private room."

The group went up to the private room on the third floor. The room was called Youlan Pavilion. The interior was luxuriously decorated but not tacky. Both the temperature and the environment were extremely comfortable.

The floor was covered with thick plush carpets, the seats were soft and covered with goose down cushions, and the backrests were covered with pieces of pure white snow fox fur, which was extremely precious.

The house is filled with the delicate fragrance of orchids. Several kinds of rare orchids are carefully cared for, and their beautiful flowers are still in full bloom even in the cold winter.

Si Zhengxuan was the oldest and naturally took the seat of honor. He tried to give it to King Yan, but Yan Longyi naturally refused.

Si Yan then sat next to his father, Yan Longyi sat on the other side of Si Zhengxuan, and Boya sat on one side of Si Yan.

For some reason, Yan Longyi felt a little nervous in front of Si Zhengxuan.

"Lord Situ, is there anything you should avoid eating?" Boya asked.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Si Yan added, "Father doesn't like spicy food, nor does he eat raw or cold food, but that's okay, Master Bo will arrange for us to have some of each dish."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Boya said with a smile.

He knew Yan Longyi's taste when he was in Yanjing, and he also figured out Miss Si's taste recently.

The food arrived, and the table full of delicious dishes looked like a poem and a picture, so beautiful that people were reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.

At first, everyone was a little reserved, especially Yan Longyi who was sitting next to Si Zhengxuan. Both of them didn't know how to start the conversation.

The main topic of conversation was the delicious food at Yayue Pavilion.

After a while, Boya couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how long the Prince of Yan will stay on this diplomatic mission to the capital? He shouldn't be returning before the New Year, right?"

Yan Longyi smiled slightly: "I have many things to attend to this time, so I will celebrate the New Year in Shangjing City this year."

"That's great." Boya said enthusiastically, "Prince Yan can also experience the New Year atmosphere of Shangjing City."

Yan Longyi smiled and chatted with Boya for a while, then looked at Si Zhengxuan who had remained silent. "Master Situ, this time at the border, it was thanks to Miss Si that I was able to save my life. Otherwise, I would have died on the battlefield."

"You're welcome, King Yan." Si Zhengxuan replied lightly without saying much.

Si Zhengxuan had a bad feeling. The way Prince Yan looked at Yan'er was unusual.

Although the Prince of Yan hid his secret very well, he could not be fooled. Si Zhengxuan quickly finished his meal and left with his daughter.

Yan Longyi looked at the father and daughter from behind, and felt something was wrong...
