On the second day, the palace door was opened, and last night, the matter of the Qianqing Palace was quickly spread to the various dignitaries in the capital, which was related to the state weapon, but where there were some foreign ministers of the city government who did not pay attention to the reason, in case something was wrong, it was good to make some preparations in advance, after this incident, the five emperors and grandsons got rid of the name of some straw bales a little, and the mysterious skateboarding and the dazzling gameplay of the five highnesses also spread in the capital.

Just after noon, His Royal Highness sent someone to send a pair of skateboards, because the materials had been confirmed before, and there were a lot of materials left when the first skateboard was made, so the second one was not completed too long, but it took a little more time to carve the dragon's ornamentation.

"Fifth Highness, Your Highness is already in Huangjimen Square, let the servants come over and invite the Fifth Highness over." The eunuch who delivered the skateboard said respectfully.

"You go back first, I'll go later."

Out of the inner room, the five highnesses were ready to greet Jinxiu to go to Huangjimen Square together, but they saw a boot and a belt neatly placed on an incense table in the outhouse, and the three incense sticks were emitting green smoke.

On the square, Zhu Youxiao was having a lot of fun, but it was just skating straight on a skateboard, and professional actions couldn't be done, even so, a few little eunuchs next to him were terrified, for fear of accidentally falling on this little ancestor.

Zhu Youzhen didn't rush to teach him, just gave some guidance on posture, the most taboo thing about extreme sports is that he doesn't know how to walk and wants to run, not to mention that if his imperial brother breaks the phase, he won't be able to fall well, "Zhao Quan, next time I will prepare a few more knee pads and elbow pads and helmets for your uncle, your master will inevitably lose a layer of skin if he is injured." "Zhao Quan is the personal eunuch of His Royal Highness.

"The fifth master reminded that the slave was negligent." Zhao Quan thought that since he couldn't stop it, he could only do this.

The two of them have been playing for nearly an hour, and they are a little tired, there is a great shortage of officials in these years, and the emperor has nothing to do if he does not go to court, so these two highnesses have not seen any ministers pass by, only the guards guarding the door in the distance feel the novelty and occasionally look here.

"Brother Huang, have you ever been out of the palace?" The Fifth Highness leaned over to his head with his hand on the skateboard and asked softly.

"No, I didn't."

"Would you like to go out and have a look?" The five halls were tempted step by step.

His Royal Highness's eyes flashed, and then dimmed, "You can't get out without the emperor's token." ”

His Royal Highness put down the slideboard and floated out on it, "I'll try it." ”

The guards guarding the Taihe Gate watched the Fifth Highness step on that unknown thing and came over in a daze, and they could still flicker and move in the air, looking more clever than those of them who had practiced martial arts. But the closer they get, the more the two guards feel that something is wrong, it seems that this young master has no signs of slowing down, this is about to break through the door, which makes them a little panicked, if he really lets him break through, this is going to lose his head, but at this speed, if he forcibly blocks it, he must fall to death, it is really not a stop, let alone a block.

Seeing that the Fifth Highness was about to break through the door successfully, he saw that one of the guards was biased, as if he was afraid of bumping into the deliberate sideways to let the Fifth Highness pass, and at the moment when the Fifth Highness was about to cross the door, the guard was quick to take a swallow and slipped the Fifth Highness in his hand, and the skateboard flew straight out and jumped on the ground two feet away.

"Presumptuous, let me go, you dare to be disrespectful to me." The Fifth Highness struggled in the hands of this guard.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, where your humble duties lie, and you can't let Your Highness out of the palace without a token of humiliation." The guard put down His Highness and clenched his fists in accusation, and the other guard went over to pick up the skateboard that had taken off and handed it over.

The Fifth Highness knew that he couldn't break through, so he showed his identity and coercion and temptation, but he couldn't do it, so he simply sat by the door and set up with these two guards regardless of his identity.

These two guards turned out to be brothers, the elder brother Gao Sheng, the younger brother Gao Han, was the emperor's personal guard, but because His Majesty the Emperor has not been out of the palace for many years, ignoring the government, not suburbs, not temples, not court, not seeing, not criticizing, not talking, so the hero was useless and was sent to guard the door, to put it bluntly, these brothers are not very good at being people, and secondly, because they are poor, otherwise they will not find a drudgery to guard the door if they do it a little.

Gao Sheng and Gao Han have their own martial arts integrity and selflessness, originally saw the five highnesses break through the door and thought that this was a demon king of the mixed world who did not learn and did not know, and chatted for a while and found that the five highnesses were quite approachable, not as unbearable as imagined, and did not see that they gave the two of them a few golden melon seeds before leaving, so Gao Han revealed a little under the inspiration of the five highnesses, and no one dared to risk killing him to let him go out without the emperor's token at the four palace gates in the southeast and northwest, but there are people in and out of Shangfu and Shangshi every day, and the two of them are up to the point, The Fifth Highness naturally understood.

Seeing that the Fifth Highness returned in vain, everyone was accustomed to it, and it would be strange if he was allowed to break out, but the Fifth Highness was not depressed but more interested.

Zhu Youzhen returned to the palace and sent someone to pass on Li Jinzhong, because Li Jinzhong was the eunuch in charge of the Shanggong Bureau, and Li Jinzhong arrived with the eunuch after a short time.

"Little Liu, I heard that your Shanggong Bureau will go to Yuquan Mountain every day to get water, Fifth Master, I want to go with you tomorrow to observe what kind of Zhong Lingyuxiu can produce such sweet water in this Yuquan Mountain, but it is a little troublesome to go out so generously, it should be no problem for you to get a little eunuch's clothes and your Shanggong Bureau's waist card, right?" His Royal Highness also knew that it was not easy to leave the palace, but it was as simple as a gesture, so naturally he didn't want to give Li Jinzhong a chance to resign.

"Fifth master, it's a shame that you always choose tomorrow, the guards on duty tomorrow have some friendship with me, a little bit or you can go out, even if you change the time, even if you have an identity waist card, you won't necessarily be confused in the past." Li Jinzhong didn't refuse, and he didn't even complain that it was difficult to ask for credit, but just reminded His Highness that it would be impossible to go out like this every day in the future. "But if the fifth master wants to leave the palace, tomorrow the slave must follow, otherwise you will be in a little trouble when you are old, and the slave will be unable to escape the blame for death, if the fifth master does not agree, the slave would rather obey your old will."

"That's great, you must be familiar with this capital and can't be more familiar, the fifth master is worried that no one will guide you." When he left the palace for the first time, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness thought that he did not dare to be careless, and it was naturally impossible for someone to introduce the situation in the capital.

"The palace gate is opened at two o'clock every day, the watermill walks out of the palace to get water from the Xihua gate on time, and the slave comes over at three o'clock tomorrow, in addition to the minions, there are six people in a line, in order to prevent being detected by the fifth master, you can't bring anyone else." Li Jinzhong couldn't help but glance at the girl named Jinxiu as he spoke, but he knew where this fifth master usually went and where he took it.

"It's better to be cautious when you leave the palace for the first time, and you can go back and prepare." The Fifth Highness got up to see off the guests, and the meaning was clear, the first time he should be cautious, and he still had to bring more people when he was proficient.

At three o'clock on the second day, Li Jinzhong came to the bedroom of the Fifth Highness on time with a set of clothes for the little eunuch and a waist card, and waited for the Fifth Highness to change his clothes, hung up the waist card, and checked that there was no flaw in the Fifth Highness and went to Xihuamen with Li Jinzhong, and the five little eunuchs had been waiting for a long time.

In front of Xihua Gate, Li Jinzhong had already made a point, and the guards at the gate just checked the waterwheel, and then hastily looked at the waist cards of a few people and let them pass, His Royal Highness was originally small, and he lowered his head at the end, and no one paid too much attention to it.

A few little eunuchs pushed the waterwheel across the tube river to the direction of Yuquan Mountain in Xicheng, leaving the sight of the guards, a few people flashed into an alley, there were already people waiting in the alley, it was for the Fifth Highness and Li Jinzhong to prepare civilian clothes, although occasionally eunuchs went out of the palace to buy, but wearing eunuch clothes to swagger through the market is always not good.

Although His Royal Highness was familiar with the capital in his previous life, he was still the first time to leave the palace in this life, and the capital was very different from his previous life, and he was confused when he left the palace.

Li Jinzhong never thought that His Royal Highness would go to Yuquan Mountain with the waterwheel to inspect the water source, and when he saw that His Royal Highness was at a loss, he naturally understood, so he introduced, "There are only a few places in the most lively places in the capital, Wudaokou in the south of the city, Sangonghuai in the north of the city, Yunlong Temple in the east of the city, and Liuli Lane in the west of the city. The area around Wudaokou is where the Guozijian is located, including the Catholic churches hand-picked by the Long Live Lord, and the reason why it is lively is because the students of the Guozijian often hold some literary meetings without incident, and some ghosts often preach there, so the style of study is vigorous. ”

"The three acacia in the north of the city is named after the three locust trees planted by the grandfather in the early years of Hongwu, and the residence of the three princes and nine kings of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country is gathered in that area, and the British Duke lives in Xingning Hutong, and the first assistant and several Shangshu Shilang live in Sesame Hutong, where these princes and ministers are, naturally indispensable to fighting cocks and beasts, running horses and singing insects, and the three princes and acacia are named because of these plays, and the wind of the three public acacia in the time of Long Qingye has long been gone." Even Li Jinzhong, a eunuch, has such feelings, it is really the world that is declining.

"Although the incense of Yunlong Temple in the east of the city is not as good as Xiangguo Temple, but thanks to a hot spring in the mountain behind Yunlong Temple, there is like spring all year round, people who go to Yunlong Temple to visit and recuperate are endless, the hundred acres of orchid garden and chrysanthemum garden of Yunlong Mountain have become the holy place of many literati and scholars to fight flowers, the slave heard that the orchid garden of Yunlong Temple in the spring of this year has produced a superb phalaenopsis, and someone bids 300,000 taels of silver that the flower owner is unwilling to transfer." Li Jinzhong is not much interested in these flowers and plants, but he is particularly concerned about some strange things, which is commonly known as the gossip party, and it is difficult for him to imagine that a flower can be worth 300,000 taels.

"Oh? Do you know who the bidders are? "Although His Royal Highness has not studied much on orchids, he still knows the name of Phalaenopsis, Phalaenopsis is an artificially cultivated variety, and the only one is naturally worth a thousand gold, but although it is not worthless, it is also a bad street. And those who can take out 300,000 taels to buy an orchid must be one of the few gentlemen in the capital, and naturally they will not be nameless.

"The slave has heard that the one who wants to buy that phalaenopsis is Fang Shihong, the son of the first auxiliary Fang Congzhe, that Fang Shihong is good at eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, cockfighting, and lackeys, I haven't heard that he also likes orchids and elegant objects, so I can't say which girl is spending a lot of money again."

"300,000 taels to buy an orchid, just for the Pomeranian to laugh, interesting, really interesting. I heard that the mining tax and industrial and commercial tax were proposed by Fang Congzhe, and it seems that our Lord Shoufu is also very elegant. His Royal Highness stroked his palms and laughed, as if he had really discovered something particularly interesting.

Li Jinzhong naturally knew that the mining tax and industrial and commercial tax were abundant, but he didn't catch it at all, he wanted to take the opportunity to say a few bad words about Fang Congzhe, but when he saw the attitude of His Royal Highness, he stopped, although this young master was laughing, he should have been holding back the water in his heart, with Li Jinzhong's understanding of this young master in the past few days, he would never allow others to dig into the corners of his own walls.

"What is the saying of Liuli Lane in the west of the city?" Seeing that Li Jinzhong was in a trance, His Royal Highness the Fifth reminded him.

Li Jinzhong gathered his heart and replied: "Liuli Lane in the west of the city has been developed since the Zhengde period, because Huangzhuang is in the western suburbs of the city, at first there were just some people in Huangzhuang to do some small bartering transactions of melons, fruits, grains, chickens, ducks and goose feathers, because of the customary rules for hundreds of years, no one in Liuli Lane collects taxes, and no one dares to make trouble, so the name is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is rare treasures, birds and beasts or melons, peaches, plums, jujubes, candy people, paper umbrellas, it is claimed that as long as you have money, there is nothing there that cannot be bought, In recent years, he has also been born from Liuli Lane with a profession called the Fallen Master, specializing in pouring things that others can't buy and sell. A few years ago, a few favored eunuchs under Concubine Zheng Guifei came to the comprador of Liuli Lane, and they were blushing at the income here, and wanted to collect some taxes from the bad, but they were stripped naked by someone and thrown on the side of the river. And some time-honored brands like Liubiju's pickles, Zhengmingzhai's pastries, Zhengyanglou's crabs, Yu Nifang's rouge, Wu Yutai's tea, Qianzhitang's pharmacy, these are all in Liuli Lane, where the prosperity can be seen. ”

In fact, there is another place that is more lively than these four places, that is, the eight alleys in the city, because this master is only ten years old Li Jinzhong did not introduce it, it seems that this notorious traitor in later generations still has some bottom line at this time.

"Then let's go around this glass alley today and see if it's really as prosperous as you say." After listening to Li Jinzhong's introduction, His Royal Highness made a decision.

Li Jinzhong also has this intention, firstly, because it is convenient to come and go with the water truck and it is not easy to change people's eyes and ears, and secondly, this Liuli Lane is mostly businessmen, and it is not easy for people to see through their identities.

From the water truck and his party left Xihua Gate, the Fifth Highness and Li Jinzhong changed into civilian clothes and studied again, and when they arrived at Liuli Lane, it was almost midnight, the sky was already bright, and Li Jinzhong explained that a few little eunuchs who took water, Shen Shi, waited under the archway of Liuli Lane and left with His Royal Highness.
