Fengming was in a very good mood after successfully securing the headlines for at least the next half month. After having lunch with his father the emperor, he prepared to stroll over to his mother the queen's place.
Fengming hadn't dared visit the Empress Dowager for several days. Ever since she turned sixteen two months ago, the Empress Dowager had been busy choosing a husband for her. Whenever Fengming went, there would be a new portrait of a nobleman ready for her. As a modern person, Fengming had lived in a feudal dynasty for sixteen years and was accustomed to the corrupt lifestyle of the aristocracy, but marrying at sixteen was something she had never considered.
In my previous life, I was still a child at the age of 16. I had just entered high school and was preparing for three years of hard study to fight for the college entrance examination. How come I have become a grown-up girl here and have to start blind dates?
In her previous life, Fengming, who was still unmarried at the age of 30, was also urged by her parents to go on blind dates. She didn't want to meet too many of the stingy and weird blind date candidates on Douban's hot posts, such as those who sent 52-cent red envelopes to express their love, ordered three dishes on the first date, and split the bill at the movie. There were also those who thought her identity as an entertainment reporter was shameful and asked her to quit her job after getting married, and those who couldn't hide their gay nature when they heard that she was going to interview a muscular male star. Anyway, Fengming was really frustrated and felt like she was in a dilemma.
Even on her 30th birthday when she was struck by lightning, she was still on blind dates. I wonder if it was because she had been on too many blind dates that God couldn't stand her and struck her to death and rescue her.
Oh, by the way, the gay blind date in the previous life, because Fengming helped him get an autograph of a muscular male star, has been following Fengming's lead ever since then, and has saved Fengming from the dangers of weird blind dates several times. She is indeed a competent sister.
In short, Fengming suffered too much from blind dates in his previous life, and he really didn't want to suffer the same misfortune at the age of 15 in this life. Every time, he firmly refused to look at the portrait of the nobleman prepared by the Queen's mother.
Because he had lunch at the emperor's father's place, Fengming came here. When he arrived at the queen's bedroom, the queen was taking a nap. She refused Aunt Wufang's service and asked them to go downstairs to rest. Fengming wandered around the queen's mother's room waiting for her to wake up.
Fengming was too familiar with this room. Out of boredom, he walked to the desk to look through it, but unexpectedly found a picture of a handsome man, a real picture of a handsome man.
A closer look at the man in the painting revealed that although his features were not as exquisite as those of the male celebrities Fengming had seen before, his overall elegance and refinement were extraordinary. Fengming could only think of this young man as unparalleled in the world.
“Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.”
This was simply the most perfect ideal partner Fengming had ever seen in her past life or this life. Fengming had wanted to find a bookish boyfriend since she first fell in love. She had also met an attractive senior in college, but because she was too focused on her work as a food reporter at the time, when she finally relaxed a little and was ready to pursue him, she found out that he already had a beloved girlfriend.
Fengming was so angry that she was depressed for a long time. Later, she was too busy to have time for love because she was almost confined to the entertainment circle. She rarely saw bookish boys. She remained single until she was 30 years old.
I've never had a serious relationship, which is really miserable.
Fengming, who had originally planned to never look at the Queen's mother's handsome pictures, now regrets it, regrets it very much, regrets it very much.
"What are you looking at? Oh, the painting I just finished this morning. What do you think of it?"
Feng Ming was so engrossed in the beauty of the man that she didn't even notice that her mother, the Queen, had gotten up and was standing by her side. Upon hearing this, she subconsciously nodded in her heart: "Okay, it looks good, that's what I want."
Fortunately, when he turned around, he found that the Queen Mother was drinking tea with her head down, and had not noticed her excited expression. Feng Ming regained his sanity, pretended to put down the handsome man picture, and said calmly:
"As expected of a painting by the Queen Mother, your painting skills have reached perfection, and are on par with your Sixth Uncle."
"You are the only one who is good at talking. Although my painting skills are indeed excellent, I am still far from reaching the pinnacle of perfection as your sixth uncle. What do you think of this young man in my painting?" Although the queen was modest, she was still very happy to hear Fengming's praise.
"Well, he is indeed an elegant young man. Who is his family? I don't think I have seen him before."
Fengming walked to the soft couch next to her and sat down. She picked up the tea brought by the little palace maid, lowered her head and took small sips to hide her sudden blush.
"Hey, don't you remember? This is Tu Nan, the son of the Tu family?"
"puff……"
Fengming couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
"Hey, child, why don't you look like a princess at all? Wufang Wufang, quickly help the princess change her clothes."
It's no wonder Fengming couldn't control his emotions. No one would be able to remain calm if they thought that the man they loved the most during their 40 years of single life was actually an inconspicuous fat classmate in elementary school.
To talk about Tu Nan, we must first talk about the imperial teacher Tu Jia.
The Tu family is the managing family of Tushan Academy, which is the most coveted academy by all the students in Daqing. The existence of Tushan Academy is longer than the entire Daqing Dynasty. It has survived many dynasties and changed the world but it still stands firm. It has always maintained a high-quality education standard and cultivated generations of elite talents.
Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, the First Emperor stipulated that every prince of the Daqing royal family must hide their identity and receive education in the Tu family. The Tu family was the true imperial teacher.
The educational system of Tushan Academy was inclusive and unrestrained. Over the past two hundred years, in addition to cultivating outstanding heirs for the royal family, it also cultivated six poets, eight painters, twelve musicians, as well as carpenters, mathematicians and other diverse talents.
The most amazing thing is that the Daqing Dynasty did not have the rule of selecting the eldest son or the legitimate grandson when selecting the heir, but because of the existence of the Tu family, there has never been a single case of brothers fighting over the throne in the more than 200 years since the founding of the dynasty.
Fengming's education also began at Tushan Academy. Starting from the age of three, Fengming went to Tushan Academy to receive education every winter and summer. It was not until he was thirteen that he dropped out of the academy and returned to Beijing in order to pursue the lofty ideal of founding Daqing's first newspaper.
In Fengming's memory, Tunan was just an ordinary, chubby kid from Tushan Academy, in the same class as her. He was quiet and preferred to hunker down in a corner reading. He often brought snacks, which led to him getting bullied by the other kids. Fengming couldn't help but help him a few times, but that was all.
The deepest memory of Tunan might be his name. At that time, she was reciting Xiaoyaoyou, Tunan Tunan, so when the wind is ninety thousand miles away, it is the wind below, and now it is the wind; when the blue sky is on its back and nothing can stop it, it is Tunan.
But the person with such an elegant name is actually a fat little boy, which makes Fengming feel that it is not a match. Apart from helping him when he is bullied, they don’t have much contact with each other.
Who could have thought that the little fat boy back then would actually become a literary and artistic male god, the type that Fengming was attracted to? Fengming was really confused.
