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 finished speaking, and Yun Ying came forward to report that the person had died.


Yun Chi nodded, his voice calm, "Once it's dealt with, that's it."


Su Zizhan stood up, holding the Little Fox, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back to rest."


Yun Chi waved his hand, "You've been up all night, you must be exhausted. Go ahead."


Su Zizhan said no more and left the Phoenix Eastern Garden.


Yun Chi looked at Hua Yan, saw her frowning in thought, and rubbed her head, "Stop thinking about it. You are weak right now, avoid overthinking. You were tired yesterday."


Hua Yan broke off her train of thoughts, "After forty years, three different scents still reveal some issues. Check in secret the major residences in Capital City. See which households typically use what kind of incense?"


Yun Chi nodded and asked Hua Yan, "Do you plan to rest today, or would you like to go somewhere?"
