The best milk dad, Xiaoyao Emperor

Chapter 500 Huaqing Palace

"Don't be in a hurry to climb the mountain, let's take a stroll down there first, and then climb the mountain." Ye Xiaoyao looked helplessly at the little guy who was eager to try.

"Oh, okay, is Huaqing Palace down here?" the little guy asked.

"Of course, this is Huaqing Palace, the palace where Concubine Yang Gui lived." Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly, "This is where Du Mu's "Passing Huaqing Palace" was written!"

""Passing Huaqing Palace"?" The little guy looked at Ye Xiaoyao curiously.

"You may not have heard the name of this poem, but there is a famous line through the ages: When a concubine rides the world of mortals and laughs, no one knows it's litchi!" Ye Xiaoyao said.

"Papa, were lychees so rare back then?" The little guy pouted with a puzzled look on his face.

Although lychees are delicious, but now, if they are in season, they can be found everywhere.

"Of course, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Lishi, whose ancestral home was Gaoliang, which is now Maoming City, Guangdong Province, was a servant of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He knew that there was a fruit called lychee in his hometown. For the favor of the noble concubine, Gao Lishi's special envoy picked lychees from Dayuanling in Gaoliang to present to Concubine Yang." Ye Xiaoyao said.

"Guangdong? It's so far away!" The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while.

"That's right, it's very far away. Moreover, lychees are hard to keep fresh, so fresh bamboo tubes are used to keep them moist and fresh. The government ordered the post station to be sent to the palace with a horse whip 800 miles away. Concubine Yang was overjoyed to see the bright red lychees." , You can smile with a smile, and later people called this kind of lychee "Concubine's Laughing Lychee." Ye Xiaoyao said.

"Wow! So that's how Concubine Xiao came here!" The little guy seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"Well, the reason why Du Mu wrote this is not only to witness the fact that Gao Lishi offered his hometown Baitangying lychee to Concubine Yang, but also to criticize the corruption of the current dignitaries." Ye Xiaoyao continued.

"Oh, so it's like this!" The little guy nodded half-understanding.

"In the last years of Xuanzong, the corruption of the favored "Yang family" aroused the anger of the people. When the dynasty was in crisis, Gao Lishi persuaded Emperor Xuanzong to order Lingnan to stop paying tribute to lychees, and suggested that the emperor grant the death of Concubine Yang to appease the anger of the people. Since then, there has been no People dare to call this litchi a concubine and laugh at litchi." Ye Xiaoyao said.

"Then if this is the case, the concubine laughing we eat now is the concubine laughing at that time?" The little guy asked suspiciously.

"Of course it is, but no one dared to call it that way back then, but now they dare to call it that way, after all, things are still that kind of thing." Ye Xiaoyao smiled and patted the little guy's head.

"Oh, it seems to be!" The little guy nodded.

"Do you want to see the emperor at that time, and the place where Concubine Yang Gui took a bath?" Ye Xiaoyao asked.

"Where to take a bath? A bathroom?" the little guy asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha, it's fine if you say that, it's a private bathhouse, the servants only dare to clean up, they don't dare to take a bath here!" Ye Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the little guy's words.

"Look here, it's called Xingchen Pool. At that time, Tang Taizong Li Shimin ordered the master Yan Lide to renovate the previous soup pool, and named it "Yutang", which was used by Tang Taizong for bathing. Later Tang Xuanzong because the shape of "Yutang" resembles the sky. The Big Dipper, so it was renamed "Xingchen Soup" in order to pray that the Big Dipper in the sky would bless the Li Dynasty's throne forever and pass it down for generations." Before coming to the Xingchen Soup, Ye Xiaoyao introduced it to the little guy.

"Huh?" The little guy asked curiously, "Tang Taizong also came here to take a bath?"

"Of course, this Huaqing Pool is where Tang Taizong first bathed." Ye Xiaoyao nodded.

"I thought it was only Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei!" The little guy scratched his head.

"Hehe, the ponds of Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Yang are in front." Ye Xiaoyao pointed to the front and said, "The Lotus Pond, the pond of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the Begonia Pond, the pond of Concubine Yang, also called the Concubine Pond."

"Then what pool is there?" the little guy asked again.

"There is also the prince's soup pool, which is the place where the prince takes a bath." Ye Xiaoyao said, "the last one is Shangshi soup, which is the place where the officials accompanying the hot spring palace bathe."

"It's really complicated, taking a bath is so troublesome!" The little guy pouted and said with some disdain.

"Hehe, of course, ancient people were very troublesome." Ye Xiaoyao smiled.

"Papa, we won't go to the rest of the pools, let's go climbing!" The little guy pouted, "These pools are really meaningless."

"Okay, I've already told you the story. If you don't want to see it, let's climb the mountain. There are many scenic spots on the way to the mountain. Xiao Wu, don't just focus on climbing the mountain!" Ye Xiaoyao reminded.

"Really?" The little guy tilted his head and looked at Ye Xiaoyao, obviously he didn't believe Ye Xiaoyao's words.

"Of course it's true, can dad still lie to you?" Ye Xiaoyao said helplessly, is his reputation so bad?
"Okay then." Saying that, the little guy looked at Li Shan.

"Huh?" The little guy seemed to have noticed something.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ying asked with some doubts, and at the same time, she looked in the direction the little guy was looking at.

"Papa, Mama, something is wrong on the mountain." The little guy pointed to the direction she was looking at and said.

"Don't pay attention to her, this little girl is one of my own." Ye Xiaoyao said with a slight smile.

"Little girl?" The little guy and Zhao Ying looked at Ye Xiaoyao suspiciously at the same time.

"That's right, this is Lishan's old mother, also known as Nuwa!" Ye Xiaoyao said.

"Is that the Nuwa who created man to mend the sky?" the little guy asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's her." Ye Xiaoyao nodded.

Now, the little guy's eyes are different: "Papa, if you say that, do you know Nuwa?"

"Of course, she and your mother Miao'er are still good friends!" Ye Xiaoyao nodded.

"Then is she pretty?" the little guy asked again.

"Of course, only a little worse than your mother Miao'er." Ye Xiaoyao nodded.

"Then Papa, I'm going to take me to meet Nuwa later!" said the little guy.

"Okay, but let's talk about it first when we get to the top of the mountain. Now this is not a good place to meet!" Ye Xiaoyao looked around, there were people on the left and right, so he shook his head.

"Yeah, then let's climb the mountain now!" The little guy nodded, and he began to look forward to the appearance of Nuwa in his heart.

Zhao Ying also smiled slightly, her curiosity about Nuwa was no less than that of the little guy!She also wanted to see what this Nuwa looked like.
