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

Little Zhongzi looked at Yun Chi and found himself at a loss for words.


As the one who was constantly at the Crown Prince's side, ever since the Crown Prince began selecting his consort a year ago, Little Zhongzi had seen most clearly that, apart from the affairs of state and governance, the Crown Prince had given his heart to Hua Yan.


Without a doubt, Little Zhongzi believed Hua Yan was the Crown Prince's fate.


Ever since the Empress Dowager issued the Marriage Annulment Decree, the Crown Prince had never truly smiled again. He used to be calm and indifferent, but lately, he looked mostly grim.


Comparing his current state to his initial reaction upon hearing the Marriage Annulment Decree, Little Zhongzi thought he was better off now, especially during the first two days when the aura he radiated seemed enough to end the world.
