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 Yuan, upon hearing that Hua Yan had not been found, displayed a look of disappointment on her face and turned to look at the letter in Hua Zhuo's hand.


Hua Zhuo continued to question Xia Yuan, "How did you find out? Where have you come from? Did you go to Taizu's mother's courtyard? Did the old lady tell you?" As the words fell, he speculated, "You guessed it, so you went to find Taizu's mother while I was asleep?"


Xia Yuan huffed at him again, not wanting to engage with him, and simply asked, "What does the Crown Prince say in his letter?"


Hua Zhuo folded the letter and looked at her, "Don't be upset, I only kept it from you because I was worried you'd get anxious. Tell me, and I'll let you see the letter."
