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

Regarding Hua Yan's stay at the Duke Residence, the arrangements truly exhausted every effort, which was evident at a glance. Especially the courtyard where Hua Yan would be staying was complete with amenities, exquisitely and luxuriously arranged.


As Lu Zhiling led Hua Yan and Yun Chi towards their quarters, he inquired how Hua Yan had recovered her health. Hua Yan didn't hide anything and briefly told him about her experience.


Upon hearing of Yun Mountain's forbidden land, Lu Zhiling became immensely curious, "So there really is a place like Yun Mountain in this world, I thought it was just legend."


Lu Zhiling sighed, "The land of Yun Mountain must be off-limits to outsiders, right?"


Hua Yan smiled and nodded, uttering a sound of affirmation.


Scratching his head, Lu Zhiling resigned himself to the fact that he might never have the opportunity to visit.
