xiao yan was considered intelligent and handsome in his youth, and he started his career as a southern qi official by serving as military assistant for emperor wu's son xiao zilun (蕭子倫) the prince of baling, and later served on the staff of the prime minister wang jian. wang was said to be impressed by xiao yan's talents and appearance, and he once said, "mr. xiao will be "shizhong" [侍中, a high-level post] before he turns 30, and his honor will be innumerable after he turns 30." xiao yan also associated with wang's successor as prime minister, emperor wu's son xiao ziliang (蕭子良) the prince of jingling, and became one of eight young officials talented in the literary arts particularly befriended by xiao ziliang—along with fan yun, xiao chen (蕭琛), ren fang (任昉), wang rong (王融), xie tiao (謝朓), shen yue, and lu chui (陸倕). after his father xiao shunzhi died in 490, he temporary left governmental service, but subsequently returned, and by 493 was serving on xiao ziliang's staff, but he did not join wang rong's plan to start a coup to have xiao ziliang made emperor when emperor wu grew ill in 493; the throne, instead, went to the crown prince, emperor wu's grandson xiao zhaoye. xiao yan subsequently was invited by the prime minister xiao luan to serve on his staff, and when xiao luan subsequently overthrew the frivolous xiao zhaoye in a coup, xiao yan was made a general and ordered to defend the important city shouyang (壽陽, in modern lu'an, anhui). when xiao luan later took the throne (as emperor ming), xiao yan was created the baron of jianyang. in 495, when northern wei forces invade, xiao yan was on the frontline fighting northern wei troops, and he distinguished himself under the command of wang guangzhi (王廣之). later that year, when emperor ming suspected the general xiao chen (蕭諶) of treason and executed him, it was xiao yan that he sent to arrest and executed xiao chen's brother xiao dan (蕭誕) the governor of si province (司州, modern southeastern henan).

in 617, xiao xi, a great-grandson of emperor xuan of western liang, whom cen wenben's grandfather cen shanfang had served, rose in rebellion, claiming to restore the liang dynasty. xiao xi established his capital at jiangling (江陵, in modern jingzhou, hubei), and he summoned cen wenben to serve as "zhongshu shilang" (中書侍郎), the deputy head of the legislative bureau of government (中書省, "zhongshu sheng"). cen was in charge of writing the imperial edicts. in 621, when the tang dynasty general li xiaogong (a nephew of emperor gaozu, the founding emperor of the tang dynasty) attacked liang and put jiangling under siege, cen suggested to xiao xi that he surrendered, and xiao xi did so. after xiao xi's surrender, however, li xiaogong's subordinates wanted to pillage the city. cen persuaded li xiaogong that it would be wrong to do so, and li xiaogong subsequently ordered against pillaging. as li xiaogong was then put in charge of the former liang capital, he invited cen to serve on his staff. in 623, when emperor gaozu sent li xiaogong to attack the rebel leader fu gongshi, cen followed li xiaogong and was in charge of his military correspondences. after li xiaogong defeated and killed fu gongshi and was put in charge of fu's capital danyang (丹楊, in modern nanjing, jiangsu), cen continued to serve on li xiaogong's staff.
