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

After the Commander's angry shout, Ya Shua shuddered and hurried to urge the kitchen. In almost no time, the kitchen staff brought over the reheated meals, steaming hot.


The aroma of the returned dishes naturally was not as good as before, but the steaming heat made them look appetizing.


Hua Yan scanned the dishes, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the dish in front of her. She frowned and instructed Ya Shua, "I don't like this one, take it over to him."


Ya Shua glanced at the Commander, saw his expressionless face, and since he didn't seem to object, she immediately removed the dish from in front of Hua Yan. She hesitated for a moment before slowly placing it in front of the Commander.


Hua Yan, not looking up, continued to the next dish. She seemed to find it tasty and ate two mouthfuls before switching to another. After one bite, she said decisively, "I don't like this one either, give it to him."
