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 shock had subsided, An Shuli carefully weighed the pros and cons and also concluded that the exceptional reappointment of Zhao Qingxi was, given the current circumstances, more beneficial than detrimental. As for the future, should the woman prove to be unsuitable, the day she was promoted exceptionally could also become the time when she could be dismissed.


He was, after all, not someone who stuck to conventions. Seeing Yun Chi speak thus, he nodded, "If Your Highness arranges it so, then I agree."


Yun Chi knew he would agree and smiled, "Today, I will invite Miss Zhao from the Zhao Residence to the Eastern Palace to inquire about this matter. Once she agrees, I will immediately appoint her as a Six Ministry official to primarily assist you."
