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

Xia Ze looked at Yun Chi, he was entrusted with this important mission precisely because he was only eleven years old and smart.


Just imagine a young child being sent from the Eastern Palace to enter the Hanlin Academy; even if some court officials had their reservations, they would think it was the Crown Prince training his own people and wouldn't suspect his true purpose.


He had originally planned to spend a few years in the Eastern Palace before he would have an opportunity, but unexpectedly, the chance had come so quickly.


With excitement in his heart, Xia Ze looked at Yun Chi, bowed deeply, and with determined eyes, said, "Rest assured, Crown Prince, once I enter the Hanlin Academy, I will be extremely cautious and meticulous."


Yun Chi nodded and spoke softly, "There's no need to rush. After entering, start by learning things. Once you're no longer the focus of attention and have found your footing, begin your investigation slowly."
