"You want to leave the palace?"
While Wang De was still silently guessing, Empress Zhangsun asked directly.
Kong Yan smiled shyly and said,""Truly nothing can hide from the Empress 'eyes. This brat really wants to go out for a trip.”
"For what?"
Empress Zhangsun asked casually as she silently read the story she had just written.
Princess Changle cast a curious look at Kong Yan.
"We need to inform the people of the trading company about the publication of our poetry collection. In addition, the Empress should also know that this minister wants to help build new houses for the civil and military officials of the court.”When he reached the end, he sighed.
"You're quite busy." Princess Changle complained.
Kong Yan glanced at her and snorted,""If not for that accident, do you think I would still be so busy, Your Highness?”
Princess Chang Le widened her eyes and said angrily,""Are you blaming me? "
Cough cough…" Kong Yan coughed heavily and hurriedly said,"Of course, it's not your fault, Your Highness. It's all my fault."”
If Empress Zhangsun were to find out that her beloved daughter had been drenched with the Golden Wind Jade Dew, she would most likely flip out!
"Inform His Majesty." Empress Zhangsun raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wang De, who was standing outside the curtain.
"Yes." Wang De silently withdrew from the hall and gave an order to a eunuch serving outside the hall.
"Many thanks, Empress." Kong Yan cupped his hands and bowed.
Empress Zhangsun frowned and asked,""Thank bengong for what?"
"Naturally, it's because the Empress agrees to this subject leaving the palace with His Highness Chang Le.”Kong Yan rubbed his nose and smiled."If the Empress doesn't object, His Majesty will definitely not disagree with the Empress on such a small matter.”
"You think you're smart." Empress Zhangsun snorted lightly."Do you know how Yang Xiu died?”
"Cao Cao's suspicious character is destined to never be able to submit to the world.”Kong Yan smiled faintly and said,"Your Majesty, you don't doubt the people you employ, but you don't use them. This is the doing of a wise ruler through the ages. How can a small Emperor Wu of Wei compare to you?”
"This mouth of yours…no wonder your business can be so big.”Empress Zhangsun waved her hand helplessly.
"Mother, Li Zhi left first.”Princess Chang Le's eyes curved into crescents, looking very happy.
Kong Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Li Shiming would probably agree, he was still uncertain.
"Reporting to the Empress, Biao Young Lady Wang Wan and Lady Duan of Duke Xue's Mansion request an audience.”
Kong Yan and Princess Chang Le had just left the inner palace when they heard the voice of the eunuch on duty outside.
"Xiao Wan and Tan Niang are here?" Princess Changle looked outside the hall and immediately became excited. She ran out of the hall.
Kong Yan narrowed his eyes and murmured,""As expected, I didn't guess wrong. I set my sights on the Empress.”
Xue Guogong, Zhangsun Shunde!
The mastermind behind the embezzling of the disaster relief funds was Empress Zhangsun's uncle.
Duan Tan Niang was called Duan Jianbi before she got married. She was the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of Zhangsun Shunde. She came from a poetic family and was deeply loved by Empress Zhangsun.
Wang Wan was Empress Zhangsun's niece. Her mother was Empress Zhangsun's half-sister. This girl was also well-educated and well-mannered, and was deeply loved by Empress Zhangsun.
Obviously, these two women had come to see Empress Zhangsun at this time because of the case of Duke Xue's Zhangsun Shunde embezzling the disaster relief funds.
Kong Yan had a faint smile on his face as he walked to the steps outside the hall and looked down at Wang Wan and Zhangsun Duan.
"Your Highness, it's time to go." Kong Yan reminded.
"Oh, oh." Princess Chang Le gave Wang Wan and Duan Tan Niang an apologetic smile, and said,"You two go and accompany Mother to read the poem first. BenGong has to go out of the palace for a while."”
The two women nodded slightly and bowed.
It had to be said that in this era, there was a huge difference between a well-educated young lady and a girl who had never been educated.
When Kong Yan passed by the two women, he stopped and raised his eyebrows."The Empress already knows about State Duke Xue's matter. His Majesty even specially came to ask for the Empress's opinion. The Empress said to punish him according to the law!”
The two women's expressions changed at the same time.
Kong Yan chuckled and walked past them.
He was quite good at making small obstacles.
Wang Wan and Duan Tan Niang watched as Princess Chang Le and Kong Yan left the Qing Ning Palace.
"Quickly go to uncle's house and tell brother Chong that Princess Chang Le and Kong Yan left the palace together.”Wang Wan whispered to the maid beside her.
"Yes."
"..."
Princess Chang Le's carriage was a luxurious carriage pulled by four fine horses. When Kong Yan requested to get on the carriage with her, the coachman glared at him and sternly refused.
"Your Highness, why don't we go undercover?”Kong Yan suggested. He remembered that he had met Princess Chang Le twice outside the palace, but she had never had any guards with her.
Princess Chang Le blinked and asked,""What if BenGong lets you get on the carriage?"
"Your Highness, you can't!" The coachman immediately knelt down.
Kong Yan's face darkened.
Princess Chang Le stuck out her tongue. She knew that her request was too shameful.
After all, a princess who had yet to marry should not invite an adult man to ride in the same carriage. This was not something a princess should do.
Therefore, Princess Chang Le agreed to Kong Yan's request.
The two of them walked out of the palace side by side.
"Your Highness doesn't want to bring a few guards?”Kong Yan felt strange.
"It's fine. There are people in the dark.”Princess Changle said softly.
"There's someone in the dark?" Kong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice,"Then when we met for the second time, I was rude to the princess. Why didn't anyone appear?”
Kong Yan recalled that he had not only pulled Princess Chang Le's nose but also lifted her up. No matter how he looked at it, she should have been cut into pieces.
Princess Chang Le's face turned red and she snorted,""Not at that time."
Kong Yan thought for a moment and understood.
Previously, there should only be guards, but no secret guards. After the Empress 'birthday banquet, Li Shimin would definitely strengthen the guards around Princess Changle.
"It seems that the other princes should also have hidden guards protecting them.”Kong Yan thought to himself and grinned.
"Who are you guarding against?"
"Hey, so many people are looking at us?”Princess Chang Le reminded him in a low voice.
Kong Yan came back to his senses and looked around. He found that after leaving the palace and seeing some shops on both sides of Vermilion Bird Street, he and Princess Chang Le seemed to have become the focus of attention.
To be precise, he had become the focus.
Kong Yan lowered his head to take a look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
He was dressed in a bright red robe, which was really eye-catching.
"Your Highness, you're the national color. They definitely want to take a few more glances.”Kong Yan said seriously.
Princess Chang Le's face turned red and she snorted,""Do you think bengong is stupid? They are clearly looking at your Da Hong Pao!”
As she spoke, Princess Chang Le couldn't help but laugh.""I didn't think much of it when I was in the palace, but now that I've come out, I'm looking at the robe you you're wearing ~ It's indeed a little exaggerated.”
"..."
The two of them chatted for a while more before they completely quieted down.
Gradually, two red spots appeared on Princess Chang Le's cheeks.
This was the first time she was walking side by side with a man.
A wave of shyness washed over her, causing her to lower her head involuntarily. Seeing their shadows overlap, she felt her cheeks heat up, and her thoughts ran wild for a moment.
Kong Yan didn't think too much about it. He looked around and guessed who might be his secret guard from time to time.
"Cousin!"
Suddenly, a surprised shout pulled Princess Chang Le back from her wild thoughts.
. "You want to leave the palace?"

Kong Yan smiled shyly and said,""Truly nothing can hide from the Empress 'eyes. This brat really wants to go out for a trip.”
