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

The Hua Family patriarch said, "After the news of Emperor Huaiyu drinking poisoned wine reached us, he took the then Hua Family Head to the Capital City. By that time, Emperor Huaiyu had been buried in state by Emperor Taizu in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Liang dynasty, while Hua Jing was not laid to rest with him. Instead, she was contained with an ice coffin and placed inside the Hot Spring Palace. Ostensibly, a grand effort was made to invite Heavenly Master Daoists to perform rituals to summon her spirit and resurrect her. In reality, what Heavenly Master Daoist has the ability to bring the dead back to life? It was nothing more than the Yun Clan's Spirit Art passed down from Emperor Taizu."
