Xu Boyan was wearing a long, embroidered green robe with a jade belt around his waist. His face was as rosy as an apricot, his eyebrows were as dark as swords, and his figure was tall and slender. He also saw Princess Anyang, and a faint light shone in his dark pupils. He stepped forward to greet Princess Anyang, "Your humble servant, Xu Boyan, greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Anyang was in a daze for a long time.
In fact, she hadn't read Xu Boyan seriously for many years, and had never read him seriously before.
At that time, it was because of the shyness of a girl, and because of her love, her heart began to beat fast when she saw him. The feeling of her heart pounding made Princess Anyang seem like she was not a normal person.
She even avoided Xu Boyan whenever she saw him, for fear of appearing strange.
Later he married her cousin, and she would never visit him again.
Not to mention going to see him, she even avoided seeing him.
She only vaguely remembered what he looked like.
But now when I saw Xu Boyan again, looking at his appearance, I could see that not only had the experiences of these years not made him look old, but he even had a more refined elegance.
None of her male favorites were even one-tenth as handsome as he was.
She was actually a little mesmerized for a moment.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Xu Boyan still maintained his bowing posture, only raised his eyes and called her again.
Princess Anyang didn't understand why she was so useless. It was obvious that they had not seen each other for many years, and she didn't like him very much. After all, when she learned that he was going to marry her cousin, she was just a little bit unwilling.
But why was he stunned when he saw the real person now?
She controlled her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and then showed a perfect and polite smile, "Master Xu is about to leave the palace."
"Hmm." Xu Boyan said, "I never thought I would meet the eldest princess here. You should know about the emperor's arranged marriage."
Princess Anyang naturally knew about this, and she came here for this very reason.
She was wondering what Xu Boyan's intention was in bringing up this matter. He probably didn't want this marriage, just like her.
After all, her current reputation is probably not very good, and any man who is upright and doesn't want to be a gigolo would not want to marry her.
She was just about to reassure him not to worry, saying she would explain things to the Emperor and ask him to withdraw his order, when she heard Xu Boyan say, "Your Highness, please give me your guidance in the future."
Princess Anyang looked up in shock. What did he mean?
Xu Boyan smiled slightly, "Don't you think Her Royal Highness wants to teach me?"
"Of course not." Princess Anyang had already spoken before she could react.
"That's good," Xu Boyan seemed relieved. "You should be going to the palace to look for the Empress Dowager. I won't delay you any longer."
Princess Anyang nodded.
She went to find the Queen Mother, although she originally wanted to find the Queen Mother. After all, some words would have completely different effects when spoken by her mother and when spoken by her.
But when she actually met her mother and her mother asked her what she was doing there, Princess Anyang suddenly didn't know how to start.
She thought, judging from Xu Boyan's expression just now, he didn't seem to be very resistant to her. Maybe she could give it a try, just dream?
Princess Anyang said, "I came to visit you."
The Queen Mother asked, "Are you here to see me, or General Xu?"
"Isn't the Queen Mother good to you?"
Although others didn't know that she had once liked Xu Boyan, her mother certainly knew about it.
Princess Anyang said, "It's alright."
Although she was very resistant when she first learned about this.
But at that moment, Princess Anyang had to admit that she had a momentary fantasy.
"So, from now on, be more focused and stop messing around. Send away all your male favorites. General Xu has been able to accomplish what he has today in such an environment, which shows that he is a man of great potential. I can rest assured in leaving you in General Xu's care."
The Queen Mother's health was deteriorating day by day, and what she was most worried about was her daughter. She always wanted to make arrangements for her daughter in every aspect.
Princess Anyang said, "I will."
It would have been fine if she had never thought about getting married before, but now that it has come to this, she naturally has to send them away.
She wants to give it a try.
When Princess Anyang returned to the palace, she began to arrange this matter.
But this is not as easy as imagined. Although she will generously give them a severance pay, not everyone can be bribed with money.
Some people even want to stay with her without asking for money.
They came to her pitifully begging, and Princess Anyang felt a little reluctant, but in the end she hardened her heart and drove them away.
The huge Princess's Mansion was no longer as lively as before, but rather empty. However, the Princess felt relieved.
Princess Anyang invited people to go to Tianxiang Tower to celebrate this event. Unexpectedly, she ran into Xu Boyan on the way.
He was holding a dog.
Anyang recognized the dog. The dog had been with Xu Boyan for some years. His cousin said that she picked it up casually, so Xu Boyan took a fancy to it and raised it personally every day.
Three years after his cousin passed away, he still kept the dog with him.
Princess Anyang's heart suddenly turned cold.
She thought this was really boring.
She has always been a straightforward person, and because there were many people on the street, she asked someone to call Xu Boyan to the private room of the restaurant.
"Princess." He was holding his big black dog.
Princess Anyang frowned and said, "I am afraid of dogs. Please lead it to the outer room."
Xu Boyan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."
After placing the black dog outside, Xu Boyan came in again.
"What would you like to eat, Princess?" he asked.
Princess Anyang looked straight at Xu Boyan. At this moment, she was extremely calm.
She is no longer young, and those girlish fantasies do not belong to her.
Princess Anyang said, "No need. Please sit down first. I have something to say to you."
