Xiziqing

Crown Prince Yun Chi chose as his consort the youngest daughter of the Hua Family, Hua Yan, and the news shattered the hearts of countless ladies in the Capital City.
It was said: the Crown Prince could write poetry at three, compose essays at seven, debate with the greatest scholars at ten, shoot arrows with precision at twelve, oversee the examinations of all scholars at fifteen, and was regent by the time he was sixteen. He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled.
Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head.
From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man?
--------------------
Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding.
Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

Schemes Of A Flower

He Shi looked at Hua Yan and whispered, "Young Master, after so many years, it's rare for you to take a liking to someone. The brothers will surely work together to help the Young Master get the Book of the Poisonous Insect King. When the Young Master leaves, take me with you! I've heard that the Royal Palace guarding the Book is full of Sanskrit mechanism locks. Perhaps in this respect, I can be of some use."


Upon hearing this, Huya Yan patted her head, a bit too forcefully, "I truly regret not learning Sanskrit earlier. If I had known this day would come, I would have learned it at all costs." After speaking, she reached out and patted He Shi's shoulder, "He Shi, it seems you'll have to suffer through sticking with me. However, you only need to teach me Sanskrit as quickly as possible. As for entering the Poisonous Insect King's Palace, there's no need for you; I don't plan to take too many people in."
