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

Ye Lanying was convinced by the innkeeper's last sentence and felt she had worried too much. Among the many noble families under Heaven, some rose to power when Taizu founded the dynasty, while others stepped off the historical stage after the founding. If one were to talk about the families with a rich foundation able to afford top-quality horses worth a fortune, there would be too many to count on one's fingers, quite a large number indeed.


It was not necessarily someone from the Royal Family – a family of four in their thirties is even less likely to be the Crown Prince himself.


The Crown Prince is very young, barely past the age of twenty.


Now, the Crown Prince had issued seven orders, and due to these orders, memorials were flying to the Capital City like snowflakes. It was said that the Crown Prince was so busy that he was at his wits' end, and news had just come that he had collapsed from illness.


All the affairs of the court were handed over to An, the Prime Minister.
