Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.
Ever since Kong Yan entered the directorate, his whereabouts were under Li Shiming's control.
"Humph, Kong Yan, also known as Shaoshang, a bunch of idiots who don't even know this little thing.”
Li Shimin's face darkened after hearing the eunuch's report.
Wang De couldn't help but laugh and quickly said,"You can't blame them. This Young Master Kong's actions are not logical, and it's hard to guard against him.”
"Merchants are so cunning. It's no wonder he became the richest man in the Great Tang.”Li Shi Min sighed.
Wang De glanced at Li Shiming and didn't dare to say anything.
"Lizhi should have met him by now, right?”Li Shimin knocked on the table in front of him.
At this moment, a young eunuch knelt in the middle of the hall with a memorial in his hands.
"He's here." Wang De quickly walked over, took the memorial, and handed it to Li Shimin.
"This bastard, he even dared to lie to Lizhi!”
After reading it, Li Shiming's face darkened again.
Wang De bowed, not daring to make a sound.
In fact, he was very confused. He did not understand why the Emperor valued Kong Yan so much and even set up a trap for his most beloved princess to come into contact with him.
"That's true. He's too deliberate. His business is so big that he should have been prepared for this.”
After a long time, Li Shi Min sneered and ordered,""Conscripted the chefs of Chang 'an's Falling Goose Pavilion to be in charge of the Empress' birthday banquet.”
"Yes."
Wang De bowed and retreated.
"How dare you lie to my daughter? How can you not bleed?”Li Shi Min revealed a sinister smile.
Ever since the news came from the pass that Kong Yan's five million taels of silver had arrived, his heart had been extremely unbalanced.
Kong Yan, the word less business!
This matter, which should have been known in advance, was thoroughly spread among the influential circles of Chang 'an after being teased by Kong Yan.
"Young Master Kong is so humorous. I heard that he is very handsome.”
"Hehehe…the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Yue have also been deceived. I really want to meet this Young Master Kong.”
"I heard that Young Master Kong is unmarried. He is the descendant of a Saint and is also the richest in the world. I really wonder what kind of woman he will like?”
“……”
With the help of some people, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King of Yue Li Tai became the background of Kong Yan's humor. Kong Yan also became the first choice of women in Chang 'an.
In contrast to the women's curiosity and admiration, some of the male nobles in Chang 'an were very indignant.
"A mere merchant, at the end of the Nine Paths, actually dares to play with the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Yue. He's really tired of living.”
"She has already been expelled from the Kong family. If he lives, he will only bring shame to the Kong family!"
"Merchants are greedy and cunning. Now, they are actually toying with the Crown Prince. Who gave him the courage?”
“……”
Kong Yan didn't know that he had just entered Chang 'an and caused a lot of discussion. After he returned to the residence arranged by the directorate, two groups of people came to the door not long after.
One side belonged to the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and the other side belonged to the King of Yue, Li Tai.
There were also some students who were watching the show, and there was no lack of rich second-generation heirs among them.
"Young Master Kong, His Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting in the Qing Ya Courtyard.”The Eastern Palace eunuch, who had been deceived by Kong Yan earlier, had a gloomy expression on his face.
As the most favored eunuch in the Eastern Palace, even the current Duke was polite to him. But today, he had become the laughingstock of Chang 'an.
The most serious thing was that he represented Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
"Young Master Kong, are you going to reject the invitation from His Highness the Yue King?”The eunuch of the Prince Yue's estate sneered, and his expression was also very bad.
"Tsk tsk…the Crown Prince invited him to attend the banquet now, and the King of Yue invited him to attend the banquet tonight. There shouldn't be any conflict, right? Why should he refuse? I can't figure it out." A rich second generation who had come to watch the show said with a smile. His voice was not soft, and everyone present basically heard him clearly.
The faces of the two eunuchs from the Eastern Palace and the Prince of Yue's Mansion turned even darker.
However, there was no movement in the courtyard in front of them!
Kong Yan, who was lying on the simple bed, yawned and put ivory earplugs in his ears.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and about an hour later, the Crown Prince's men also left. According to the maid of the Qing Ya Courtyard, the Crown Prince's face was very dark when he left, and he even said some unpleasant words.
On the other hand, King of Yue Li Tai's men waited until evening. A group of more than thirty people arrived at the courtyard where Kong Yan was.
The leader was Li Erlang. Most of the people were women, and each of them had a food box in their hands.
"Young Master, it's time for dinner." Li Erlang said loudly.
The head eunuch of the Prince Yue's estate became spirited as he stared coldly at the wooden door of the courtyard.
If it wasn't for the fact that His Highness the Prince of Yue had instructed him not to break in, why would he wait here for the entire afternoon?
Soon, Kong Yan opened the door and smiled warmly at the crowd.
"Come in."
Li Erlang ordered the people behind him to enter the courtyard one by one and spread the delicacies in the food boxes on the dining table in the room.
"Young Master Kong, His Highness the Yue King's invitation, you…if you don't want it?”The eunuch of the Yue family handed over a red invitation with a fake smile.
Kong Yan pointed at the courtyard and said apologetically,""Eunuch came too late. I have already prepared dinner. I can't waste it.”
"Did we come too late?" The eunuch pointed at himself, his breath hurried, as if he was about to jump up in anger.
Kong Yan rubbed his nose and said,"If you don't mind, you can eat with me."”
"It's my Yue Prince who invited you, not our family!”The eunuch's voice was sharp and ear-piercing, and he even showed off his orchid fingers.
"I am a businessman and never waste money. I appreciate your good intentions, but I won't do it tonight.”Kong Yan's eyebrows did not move.
" You…you…" The eunuch suddenly swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but look in the direction of the courtyard." You're never wasteful. How can a person eat so much?"”
In a room in the depths of the courtyard, there was a table full of delicious food. It looked, smelled, and tasted good. The fragrance of the rice drifted out of the door, making everyone salivate.
"These are all the signature dishes of Wild Goose Restaurant. If you want to eat them, you have to make an appointment in advance.”Some people looked at the delicious food on the table, and their eyes turned red.
Kong Yan pointed at the thirty people in the courtyard and said,""If I can't finish it, they will help me solve it. If Eunuch has nothing else to do, then I will go eat first.”
Kong Yan didn't wait for the eunuch's response and entered the room. Li Erlang closed the wooden door in time.
"He…is too impudent!" The eunuch pointed at the wooden door, his face green with anger.
