"Hey sister, I've been bored at home these past two days and I even read your gossip newspaper. Did Hao Zhangming really say something so sour about a woman who is so beautiful and extraordinary?"
Feng Ming was still thinking about the mastermind behind the scenes, but Feng Xiyun suddenly asked such a strange question. When he reacted, his originally nervous mood relaxed.
"Hahaha, you believed it too! I made that up. I wanted to divert the public's attention and get them to discuss Bai Wanshuang instead. This way, everyone would think it was just a case of jealousy, so as not to alarm the mastermind behind it."
Feng Xiyun gave him a look that said, "You're so clever."
Fengming stopped thinking after his thoughts were interrupted. Thinking too much will cause hair loss and a worrying bald headline. Daqing does not have Bawang anti-hair loss prevention, so every strand of hair must be cherished.
He checked the hourglass to confirm that it was still early. He had been running around doing so many things, and the novel would take at least eight chapters to finish, but not even a day had passed. Fengming once again felt despair about the era without mobile phone network.
Fengming suddenly missed WeChat, Weibo, and Tik Tok from his previous life. Three minutes online would mean three hours in real life. He would feel that time was not enough and had no worries about finding things to kill time.
The Detective Affairs Department will be following up on the investigation into Hao Zhangming. The results will probably be delivered to the Weiyang Palace tonight. I expect to work overtime on the manuscript tonight, so I need to take advantage of this afternoon when I have nothing to do to rest. "Feng Xiyun, let's go to the Peacock Terrace in Xiaoshi to watch a play."
Xiaoshi is the most fun place in the capital. All the major opera troupes, acrobatics, teahouses, street performances, pitching pots, wrestling and other entertainment industries are concentrated there. From high-ranking officials to the poor common people, everyone can find fun in Xiaoshi.
Fengming likes to go to the Peacock Stage, a medium-sized opera troupe in Xiaoshi, to watch plays, because the plays at the Peacock Stage are more colloquial and closer to the performance style of modern stage dramas, which makes Fengming feel like he is in his previous life.
Fengming once wrote a play based on the story of Xue Rengui and Wang Baochuan, submitted it anonymously to Peacock Theatre, and was surprisingly accepted and cast in it, which helped Peacock Theatre make a fortune. Peacock Theatre still posts a notice looking for anonymous writers, and Fengming is secretly delighted every time he goes there.
Fengming later considered writing and performing a version of the story from Dream of the Red Chamber, but he put it on hold after launching the Gossip Daily. Fengming has set a goal for himself: to write it sooner or later, but he's unsure when to do so.
Feng Xiyun had been bored at home for several days. When he heard Feng Ming say that they were going to see a play, he looked up with joy. But then he remembered that he was still under house arrest, and he leaned dejectedly on the couch.
Feng Ming also remembered this matter after saying this: "It's okay, I'll write a statement to Sixth Uncle right away, saying that I'm taking you out to familiarize yourself with the situation today. After all, you're a local guide, so you can't be unprepared." At this point, the beautiful picture that had been squeezed into the corner by the serious work was finally remembered. Feng Ming then instructed Feng Xiyun: "Well, tomorrow I will accompany you to find Tu Nan, so that Sixth Uncle can't say anything about you anymore."
Feng Xiyun naturally agreed with both hands. After eating and drinking his fill and expressing his grievances, he was just about to go out and have some fun. He had been cooped up at home for several days, and if he stayed cooped up at home any longer, he would probably destroy the house to vent his anger. The Sixth Prince's Mansion's humanoid Husky's ability to destroy the house should not be underestimated.
"Well, let's go now. Feng Xiyun, do you want to change your clothes?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Look, I'm back and I'll charm all the girls in Beijing." A Husky who is very concerned about his image.
After Feng Xiyun changed her clothes, Feng Ming retreated to the garden to admire the vibrant spring blossoms and the faint fragrance of the flowers. Her mood was relaxed, and the slightly heavy mood caused by the news about Mo Dong and the possibility of a mastermind was completely relieved. Who cares? This princess has gossip editors all over the capital, and I don't believe I can't find you.
Feng Xiyun finally changed and emerged, clutching two jade pendants, asking Fengming to help him decide. One was a crane and deer pendant with a spring pattern, and the other a jasper vine flower pendant with a hollow pattern, both perfectly suited to the lighthearted and playful beauty of spring. After a few days of being cooped up at home, Feng Xiyun was determined to appear in his best form to restore his image in the eyes of the young ladies of the capital.
Feng Xiyun was speechless. Fortunately, he asked his personal fashion assistant Su Shu to accompany him when he went out today. Su Shu stepped forward to help Feng Xiyun choose a jade Tenghua hollow pendant, and asked Feng Xiyun to change to a more suitable white cloud pattern jade belt. Only then could he finally go out.
The Four Books had already cleverly prepared the carriage. After all, the small market was noisy, so it was set up in the north of the outer city, while the imperial city and the royal family were in the center of the inner city, so there was still a certain distance between them.
The two chatted in the carriage and unknowingly arrived outside the small market. The carriage could not go any further, so Fengming and Feng Xiyun got off.
What hit them was the noisy voices full of life. The afternoon was the busiest time of the day in the small market. There was a street performer performing a stone-breaking performance with his chest. Feng Ming was very interested in pulling Feng Xiyun to watch.
In her previous life, Fengming was obsessed with her career as a journalist and editor, rarely giving herself time to relax. In this life, she spent thirteen of her sixteen years studying at Tushan Academy. Back in the capital, she spent three years busy cultivating her popularity, working on her newspaper, and building a network of gossip editors. She hadn't actually visited any of the ancient entertainment venues.
I had been to Xiaoshi a few times before, either just to look around and find talents. I met many people who made a living in Xiaoshi and arranged for them to become subordinates of the Detective Affairs Department; or I would just rush to Peacock Terrace to watch a show and leave. This time, I finally took the opportunity to take Feng Xiyun out to relax and have some serious fun.
"Good~" With a bang, the sledgehammer fell heavily, and the stone slab shattered. Two staff members lifted the stone slab, and the performer who was pressed by the stone slab jumped up vigorously and saluted in all directions with fists, which caused thunderous praise. Fengming also shouted, and then generously asked Xier to reward him with one or two taels of silver and left the crowd.
"The cockfighting competition is about to start, don't miss it if you pass by."
"Cricket Championship, the mighty general versus the black warrior, the two insects are fighting fiercely"
"Leaf game, leaf game, one penny for a round."
"Girl, come in and play a game of wooden shooting, it's relaxing and leisurely." Fengming had played it before. It turned out that wooden shooting was the ancient bowling. She was so bad at it that Fengming never wanted to play it again.
…
Feng Ming, dazzled, looked around here and there, sometimes going to one stall to watch Liubo, sometimes running to another to play with rings, and shouting with Feng Xiyun, and had long forgotten about the Peacock Terrace.
It was not until Su Shu stepped forward to remind them that it was getting late and Feng Ming should return to the palace that the two realized how late it was.
Although Daqing has an open atmosphere and the princess can leave the palace at any time, there are still palace restrictions. Especially since Fengming is the apple of the emperor and empress's eye and is also very beautiful, the palace restrictions are much stricter than for others, for fear that something might happen.
Although Fengming was interrupted in his excitement, he knew that it was indeed time to return to the palace. He could only bid farewell to Feng Xiyun with regret and get on the carriage to return to the palace.
