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

Hua Yan also felt that ever since she got pregnant, her cravings had become extremely strange. She could eat anything sour, sweet, or spicy; the food didn't have to be decidedly sour, sweet, or spicy, she could eat it all mixed together. When she was at the Eastern Palace, in the beginning, Yun Chi frowned at this, but later on, he was able to eat alongside her without his expression changing.


Thinking of Yun Chi, she couldn't help but delve deep into thought. Yun Chi had broken the Capital City's crisis and foiled the enormous conspiracy gathered by Su Zishe, issuing the Crown Prince's Seven Decrees, which showed his dedication to governance.


The Crown Prince's Seven Decrees spread throughout the land, but what were they meant to tell her?


That he wasn't disheartened? That he obediently hadn't been looking for her, instead, properly guarding the Capital City? Guarding Nanchu's rivers and mountains?
