August 27, 309th year of the Qing calendar, cloudy, the editor is in a very good mood
Headline: Is the censor in trouble? Or is the city defense doomed? Why is this anonymous woman in white weeping in the streets?
The eldest princess said: The imperial kitchen is always brightly lit. Is it the emperor who is greedy or the imperial concubine?
Imperial Secrets: Concubine Liu's cat always stays out late at night. Is it the unrestrained nature of cats or the distortion of cat nature?
"It seems this General Liu isn't a good guy either... Xi'er, have some watermelon... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. He has a courtyard right off Changxi Street, a two-story attic suite on East Second Street, and a Hongniang on Babao Street. He also has 24 concubines at home that can't even accommodate them all. Can he really handle it all? He's such a romantic guy! Even my dad can't compare!"
In the pavilion of the small garden of Weiyang Palace in Daqing Dynasty, where the spring is bright and the flowers are in full bloom, the eldest princess is lying on the rocking chair. A minute later, she decides that he will be the next host of the eldest princess's discussion - the love story of the romantic general, and let this general Liu, who is forty-eight years old, make his debut in the center position on the flower path.
It has been fifteen years since she was reborn in the Qing Dynasty. The sixteen-year-old Princess Fengming is the editor-in-chief of the country's largest gossip newspaper, which is named Gossip Daily.
In her previous life, Fengming started working as a reporter at a very young age. She was a children's reporter, a food reporter, and an entertainment reporter. Later, she was promoted to the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Express. She worked diligently and loved the media industry. However, on the night of her 30th birthday, while working overtime on a dark, windy and rainy night, she was struck by lightning and turned into the eldest daughter of the Emperor of Daqing.
The pain of not being able to return to the 21st century and never see his family and friends again made Fengming turn his grief and anger into professional qualities. He opened the first newspaper in the Daqing Dynasty, and made it bigger and stronger, determined to monopolize the entire cultural publishing industry in the Daqing Dynasty.
Oh yes, because the queen dreamed of a phoenix crying the night before she gave birth. Anyway, her name is Fengming, and this is Fengming’s only remaining comfort from her previous life.
"Has Fuling arrived yet? Has today's newspaper been delivered?"
"Xin Wu has just sent someone to deliver it, and is asking you to review it." Bi Chun replied
After eating enough fruits and getting enough beauty sleep, the princess was in high spirits at work.
Extending her hand, Xier, a short girl with a round face, quickly took the booklet that Fengming was reading and put the newspaper in Fengming's hand.
The eldest princess has been corrupted by the power of feudal imperialism, and now it has become her standard to never do things by herself if she can avoid it.
"Come on, come on, let's take a look. What do I think of today's headline? Thanks to that street singer Bai Wanshuang, she's such a good person."
"Master, what's going on with Bai Wanshuang? I heard that the Fourth Young Master brought her back to the palace?" Fuling is the senior palace maid who is responsible for liaison with the outside world beside Fengming. She wants to take advantage of her internal advantages and find out the inside information first.
"Tsk, let me tell you, Bai Wanshuang has enough roles to play. Thanks to her, I don't have to worry about making headlines for the next month."
Fengming had an unfathomable look on his face, looking at the maids' anxious faces burning with gossip but he said nothing.
"If I tell you now, there will be no fun in following the update. Be good and follow slowly. This princess will give you a long follow-up report with ups and downs."
Fengming was determined not to give the maids any spoilers in advance and began to look through the pages. Although she had already read the sample issue, Fengming still had the habit of reading it again every day.
The Princess's Theory is Fengming's own column. This section mainly exposes some things that ordinary people want to pay attention to the most, but others dare not report.
It was all because her emperor father dissed her the day before, saying she had gained weight. She had originally planned to write about the new remedy for colds that Imperial Physician Zhang had discovered, but she temporarily changed her plan to criticize her emperor father for being greedy and for working overtime to write the manuscript.
The headline on the front page was about Bai Wanshuang, the white-clad woman who became very popular in the capital a few days ago and was of great interest to the maids.
As for Bai Wanshuang, she had big eyes, a small face, fair skin, a beauty comparable to Xi Shi, and a figure as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind. She was dressed in white and sold herself in the downtown area of the east city to bury her father.
The well-known idlers in the capital, the young prince of the Sixth Prince's Mansion and the eldest son of the Wang Taishi family happened to pass by. The two fought in the street over who would pay to do good deeds. Bai Wanshuang was moved by their friendship... and left with General Wuwei who passed by later.
The scene was like this: the Fourth Young Master and Young Master Jun were pushing each other, and Bai Wanshuang stepped forward pitifully to try to stop the fight. Her delicate body was accidentally pushed by someone's hand, and she happened to fall into the arms of General Wuwei who was returning home from get off work.
A woman fell from the sky, and General Wuwei rescued her and hugged her by the waist. Their eyes met and sparks flew.
"There is such a beautiful woman in the world."
"Follow me"
"Okay, I'll go with you."
In this way, the two of them walked away hand in hand, leaving behind the nobleman who was still fighting and the unattended body on the ground. Bai Wanshuang did not come back for a long time. Later, the rice seller and the shopkeeper could not bear it anymore and paid for someone to bury the old man.
Because the people involved were all powerful and influential, and the capital did not restrict speech, Bai Wanshuang seemed to be on the verge of replacing Bicui from Cuixianglou and becoming the new celebrity in the capital.
Feng Ming's detective department's initial investigation into Bai Wanshuang revealed that she was a young woman from Yangzhou, proud of her beauty. When she reached marriageable age, she looked down on the young men there, forcing her father to move to Beijing to seek a rich husband. However, the relatives had already moved, and no rich husband was found. Furthermore, her father developed a serious illness from the unfamiliar climate, and died after spending all his money on the journey.
After Fengming's rebirth, he subtly influenced many policies. Someone like Bai Wanshuang could easily apply for temporary assistance from the Urban Management Bureau and find a job to survive. However, she insisted on selling herself to bury her father, even going so far as to travel to the bustling eastern city center. Clearly, she had ulterior motives.
Fortunately, Fengming published a newspaper immediately and directed public opinion to discuss gossip such as Bai Wanshuang's appearance and Bai Wanshuang's mistress.
In fact, when the Bai Wanshuang incident happened, Fengming had a vague feeling of déjà vu. She was wearing white clothes, selling herself to bury her father, and being taken away by the general. He felt the fear of being dominated by Grandma Qiong Yao in his previous life.
The past 15 years have been peaceful, and I haven't encountered any other suspected time travelers. So, all of a sudden, "Isn't it possible that I've traveled into a Qiong Yao-themed fan fiction?"
The fighting power of Qiong Yao's heroines should not be underestimated. Each of them puts true love first, has distorted values, and has an inexplicable heroine halo bonus. It's fun to think about it.
"Okay, no problem. Let Xin Wu go back and rest." Those things hadn't happened yet; the task at hand was more important. Thanks to Daqing's advanced printing technology, Fengming's dream of publishing a newspaper had been realized. Many aspects of Daqing—their technology, policies, and governance—made Fengming wonder if there had been a time traveler before.
After reading the newspaper, Fengming planned to go to the emperor father as a routine to show his face and improve his favorability. Survival in the harem is difficult. Fengming has a string of younger brothers and sisters. It is very important to ensure that he is the emperor's favorite child.
