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

That day, after Hua Zhuo arrived at Hua Yan's garden, Hua Yan mentioned her idea of visiting Yunwu Mountain the next day.


Hua Zhuo frowned, "Is your body up to it?"


"It is," Hua Yan nodded, "The air in Yunwu Mountain is pure, and it may be greatly beneficial to my health."


Thinking it over, Hua Zhuo agreed, "Alright, let's get ready today, and tomorrow I will accompany you to Yunwu Mountain." As he finished speaking, he added, "You once spoke of a forbidden place belonging to the Hua Family. I've searched Yunwu Mountain for a long time and haven't found it. Even after asking grandfather, he seemed unaware of it. As for the ancient manuscript you mentioned that was obtained from Empress Taizu, I asked her, and she said it was handed to her by Emperor Taizu to keep before his death, passed down from our ancestors." He looked at her, inquiring, "Now that you remember the Soul Curse was cast by yourself, do you know where that forbidden place is?"
