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

Hua Yan had not expected that An Shuli would believe her as soon as he heard the news, and with a determined face, he insisted on breaking off this marriage engagement.


She thought that the matter of his marriage engagement should be of great importance to him. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for the Princess Consort of Anyang to arrange poetry feasts and flower banquets every now and then, as a covert form of matchmaking for him, which he repeatedly declined.


He truly had no current plans to take a wife, perhaps because he had not yet met someone he desired.


She rubbed her nose, feeling somewhat troubled, "As the saying goes, ruining someone's marital fate is a sin!"


An Shuli shook his head, "It's not the Crown Princess Consort's fault, it was I who requested this. Even if it's a sin, it would be my own karma."


Hua Yan pondered for a moment and said directly, "The lady in question is Zhao Qingxi, are you still sure?"
