Cui Da returned to Tokyo quietly in a tight and sturdy ox cart.

The Cui family has a very luxurious four-entry house in Tokyo. Cui Da's cousin Cui Fuli has been taking care of it. When the ox cart passed by the Cui family's courtyard, it did not stop. The ordinary ox cart drove past the tall lintel of the Cui family and followed the winding path to a very inconspicuous Lifang in Shuntianmen, which is the place where Tokyo merchants store goods.

The ox cart drove into a small yard, then closed the door, and after Cui Da, who was wearing Muli on his head, walked into the house, the old man who was driving the car brought in a pot of tea and then retreated.

The terrain of Lifang is very high. The small courtyard where Cui Da lived was exactly the highest courtyard. You can see the Jinmingchi outside the city by sitting on his own low couch.

Jinming Pond is nine miles and thirty steps in a circumference. The pond is square and has walls around it. There are many doors. The northwest corner is the water inlet. Outside the back door of the north of the pool, the west water gate of the Bianhe River is the water gate.

The south gate is Lingxing Gate, opposite to Baojin Tower in Qionglin Garden in the south, and the colorful towers in the door confront. From the south bank to the center of the pool, there is a giant arch bridge - Xianqiao, which is hundreds of steps long and has a wide bridge deck. The bridge has three arches "red lacquered railings and shields, and geese pillars underneath". The center is raised, like a flying rainbow, and is called "camel rainbow".

In the early years, this was the location where His Majesty Taizong inspected the naval army. Now, there are no traces of the naval army here, but there are countless pleasure boats floating on it.

Every May Day, everyone in various brothels will come to Jinmingchi to play swings. The swings here are arranged on the boat. The higher the swings, the more popular they are, and the word "debauchery" is passed down.

These years, the prostitutes in the brothels were no longer satisfied and were simply dissolute. Instead, they chose more thrilling movements. When the swing flew to the highest point, the prostitutes in thin gauze would jump from the sky like a mermaid into Jinming Pond...

Every year, prostitutes are killed by falling to death, but the swinging activities every year have become more and more thrilling. Last May Festival, He Wuniang, a prostitute in Huichun Tower, worked with Chun Jiuniang, a prostitute in Baihua Pavilion. When the two swings reached the highest point, Chun Jiuniang actually hooked the swing with her legs, and used her hands to pull He Wuniang over her swing. The scene was said to be extremely thrilling.

In the end, the two of them fell down from the swing together, and their colorful clothes were so beautiful. After a performance, the value of these two women increased sharply. I don’t know where the rich guys came from, but they actually put the two beauties in the room that night, which made others envious!

There is an immortal bridge in the Jinming Bridge. There are three rainbows on the bridge, red painted slabs, geese pillars underneath, and a long-standing center. There are Baojin Tower connected by five halls at the bridge. It is located in the middle of the water, with a heavy palace and a majestic building. It has a wide range of flowers and stones, rare birds and monsters, docks and docks, warships and dragon boats. Everything is complete.

Every March, Jinming Pool is full of spring, with pink peaches like brocade, willows like smoke, pink butterflies among flowers, orioles on the trees. Residents of the capital are fascinating and go out for an outing at Jinming Pool. Even at this moment it is already dusk, Cui Da can still see the crowds of people above Jinming Pool.

Lotus roots are also planted in Jinming Pool. On rainy nights, people like to come here to listen to the sound of rain hitting lotus leaves. After the rain, the sky is clear and everything is fresh, and it has a new atmosphere, so it is known as the "Jinchi Pool Night Rain".

At the end of the bridge, there is a group of halls, called the Five Halls, which are the living places during the emperor's recreation. On the north bank, there is a "Ao House", also known as Longao, which is the place where the large dragon boat is parked.

Near the east bank north of Xianqiao, there is a Linshui Temple facing the north, which is a place to be given to banquets among the ministers. It is open every year from March to April to August, and people are allowed to enter and visit.

The coast is "weeping willows dip in water, tobacco lays on the embankment", and the east coast is temporarily built with colored sheds, and the people are here to watch water plays. The west coast is quiet, and many tourists are on the shore to fish.

Cui Da is so familiar with this place that he is no longer familiar with. He has walked countless times on foot around Jinmingchi, but now he can walk back and forth on Jinmingchi even if he closes his eyes.

The Cui family has a unique thatched hut and hut on the east side of Jinmingchi. Although they can only stay there for two months, they are still beautiful.

Cui Da doesn't plan to go to Jin Mingchi this year. If possible, he will never come to Jin Mingchi again. He only hopes that Jin Mingchi will be his last nightmare.

After five years of hard work in Xijing, Liao Kingdom, he did not hesitate to destroy himself for this, nor did he get a positive word from Yun Zheng. Whether it was the wishes of Concubine Shu or his plea, Yun Zheng had no intention of responding. He was determined to leave the Song Dynasty.

If Yun Zheng helps, the success rate of his and Concubine Shu's plan will increase by at least 30%, reaching a 90% chance of perfection. Now, although only 60%, Cui Da still wants to fight. Concubine Shu believes that the more the emperor reaches the last moment, the more dangerous it is.

Before May Day, it is likely that the last time...

Cui Da wanted to meet Concubine Shu very much at this moment, and this idea had never been as strong as it is now.

Concubine Shu was still making porridge. Even though the emperor could no longer eat the food, she was still unwilling to give up. The emperor could only drink some potion now. If it weren't for the support of a large number of precious tonics, he would not be able to support it until now.

"Mother, my father can no longer eat it, why do you continue to make porridge?"

Lan Lan looked at her growing taller son and smiled, "I'm used to it."

Zhao Xu smiled and held the porridge jar. He opened his mouth and wanted to eat the tremite lotus seed soup in the porridge jar, but was knocked off by Lan Lan. With a bang, the porridge jar broke, and Zhao Xu couldn't help but be stunned.

Lan Lan said angrily: "Why are your child so unruly? This is the porridge made for your father. How do you eat it?"

Zhao Xu said a little aggrievedly: "How can the father's porridge be so irrelevant? I insisted on eating it. After saying that, I picked up a little porridge left at the bottom of the jar from the ground and rushed out. Lan Lan chased after him. After Zhao Xu turned two or three rockery, he disappeared.

Lan Lan stomped her feet on the ground hatefully, and had to return to her residence.

Zhao Xu's face was extremely ugly, and his whole body exuded endless hostility. The palace ladies and eunuchs he met along the way bowed their heads and knelt down. Only after the violent prince left would he hurry up and leave quickly.

After returning to the Eastern Palace, the half jar of porridge he held in his arms was already cold. He was carefully placed on the table. His face was ferocious and frightened. After a long time, the eunuch around him was able to carry his favorite raccoon cat Dabai...

When he was the only one left in the hall, Zhao Xu patiently fed Dabai the porridge in the jar. After Dabai was full, he ordered someone to pull his favorite hunting dog over and continue to let the hunting dogs eat up the remaining porridge little by little...

That night, Zhao Xu did not sleep, and quietly stayed in the East Palace with a cat and a dog, and went nowhere.

At dawn, the raccoon cat Dabai and the hunting dog were still very energetic. The frost on Zhao Xu's face seemed to have faded.

"Come on, please call the veterinarian from the palace to come here. Dabai and the hunting dog were a little uncomfortable!" Zhao Xu looked at the lively cat and dog and said uncertainly.

The veterinarian came here and carefully examined the cat and the hunting dog and reported: "Your Highness, the cat and the hunting dog are not seriously injured. The cat is just a little uncomfortable because of castration. As for the hunting dog, it is not even serious about it except for a little subcutaneous bug.

As long as you give the raccoon more meat, it will be fine. As for the hunting dog, I will dispense medicine to kill the insects under the skin."

Zhao Xu let out a long breath, rewarded the veterinarian, and hurriedly washed up and planned to go to his mother's place to apologize.

Lanlan knelt down at the bottom of the porch, with a small stove on the porch, and a crock pot sitting on the stove, with a sweet smell coming out of it.

When Shufei, who was stirring up the fire, saw her son coming, she smiled slightly, pointed to the jar on the stove and said, "You like to eat lotus seed porridge. I have cooked a lot today, and you can eat it to the fullest."

Zhao Xu bowed down ashamedly and said, "Mother forgives the crime, it is wrong for the child. Today I came to apologize. No matter how the mother punishes him, the child has no complaints."

There was only mother and son present in the empty bedroom. Lan Lan sighed and said, "I saw you want to eat your father's porridge yesterday. I just don't want to overestimate your father's illness on you. How could it cause such a big reaction from you? Do you think your mother will poison your father?"

Zhao Xu's face was flushed and he stood his head on the ground and said, "Son, frightened!"

Lan Lan helped Zhao Xu up, looked into his son's eyes and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of, the environment you are in is wrong.

If we mother and son are just ordinary families, it would not be an exaggeration to be suspicious of our mother like this, even if we beat you to death.

Alas! Who told us to be in the palace? No matter how careful we are here, we have to be so suspicious of being like this at a young age. It’s so hard for you!”

Lan Lan said, while filling two bowls of tremella pot with a bowl, handed them to Zhao Xu, and ate them slowly by holding them.

This time, Zhao Xu ate very sweetly. Without much effort, the mother and son ate a jar of porridge slowly...

The bells and drums in the bell tower rang three times. Zhao Xu said goodbye to his mother and prepared to go to Daqing Palace to listen to the Grand Tutor and the Queen deal with the government affairs. Although he did not have the power to handle state affairs, he already had the power to listen to the government.

After watching his son disappear on the screen, Lan Lan's smile disappeared and she said to herself: "It's better if this is the case, it's probably not just Xu'er who is suspicious. It's better to show everyone. The clay pot will not always be lost inexplicably here."

Lan Lan walked into the deep palace with her hands behind her back. She decided to prepare well. In April, she should go to Jinmingchi to enjoy the beautiful scenery there. The palace was so deserted. (To be continued)
