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 Mei Shuyu left, Yun Chi called in An Shuli, the fifth prince, and Cheng Zixiao to the Eastern Palace.


Cheng Zixiao had been exceptionally promoted by Yun Chi to work in the Ministry of Revenue as the Assistant Minister. Yun Chi originally wanted him to become familiar with the Ministry of Revenue so that he could replace Su Zizhan. The plan was for Su Zizhan to take over the military control of the Capital City, but before Cheng could fully understand the workings of the Ministry, Su Zizhan disappeared without a trace.


Yun Chi had no choice but to revise his plans. He tasked the fifth prince and Mei Shuyu with overseeing the military control of the Capital City.
