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

Upon receiving Yun Chi's secret letter, Mei Shuyu immediately dispatched people to investigate the confinement area of the King of Nanjiang and discovered that the King of Nanjiang had gone missing. He was shocked and promptly initiated a thorough investigation while sending a carrier pigeon to Yun Chi, informing him of the King of Nanjiang's disappearance.


Not long after his message was sent, he received a reply from Yun Chi, ordering him to arrange all military affairs within the camp from the day he received the letter and to set off for the Capital City immediately, as Lu Zhiling was already on his way to Nanjiang.


Mei Shuyu had not expected Yun Chi to summon him back to the capital. Yearning for Capital City, he quickly set his affairs in order and departed without delay, riding at full speed to return.


Midway, he encountered Lu Zhiling, who was en route to the Southwest Territory.
