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

A day later, the staff returned to Capital City. By then, it was already deep into the night, so he went directly to the Jinglu Army Camp.


After Yun Chi left for the Capital, Mei Shuyu returned to the city and had a quick meeting with An Shuli. He also saw Zhao Qingxi and noticed that, despite the enormous pressure, she was holding up well. Her eyes seemed clearer than before, which made him reflect with some emotion. No matter how many precious jewels and ornaments he gave her, she spent her days in official robes, likely with few opportunities to wear them.


What to do in the future? It troubled him to no end!


Although Zhao Qingxi was incredibly astute, she didn't realize that the heart of a man was like trying to find a needle in the ocean floor. She observed Mei Shuyu's mood fluctuate between bright smiles and furrowed brows of worry, a mix of happiness and melancholy directed at her, which left her utterly baffled.
