Xiziqing

In the beginning, he said, "A lowly commoner from Jiangning County? What a disgraceful status, I won't marry her!"
After meeting her, he clicked his tongue, "So frail and delicate, she can't stand a blow, too weak, I refuse!"
When she approached him alone, carrying the marriage book, he stood leaning on the door, grinning insolently, "Are you here to make me marry you? But this young master doesn’t want to marry young!"
Upon learning she was there to annul their marriage, his face turned dark as a thunderstorm, emanating a murderous aura, "Who gave you the guts to revoke the marriage with this young master?"
...
Su Rong felt, Duanhua Princess must be blind, this man was so pampered and spoiled, how was he worth dying or living for?
If she had known earlier, she would have thrown the divorce letter at his face the first time she saw him.

The tender signs of spring on the delicate Hibiscus pillow, amidst the drunken flowers filling the room, unnoticed. — Su Rong.
A gallant young man in fine clothes and on a steed, a single glance causes a lifetime of confusion. — Zhou Gu
Your wish is my wish. I wish to have known you earlier, protect you among the aromatic chambers strewn with brocades. Tear through the illusions, cut down the thorns, with hands unstained by blood, just as pure as you were when we first met, the young and soft little girl.
Your wish is my wish. I wish I had known you sooner when you were like a refreshing breeze near the moon. I dared not approach for fear of disturbing the phoenix and mandarin ducks. Praying to be the moon in the sky to cast a reflection on you, accompany you while you watch the flowers bloom in the spring and gaze at the snow in winter, each and every year at Chang'an.

Flowers Drunk Fill the Hall

Exiting the Fengyi Palace, where the queen resides, the skies already turned dark.


The queen personally arranged for a eunuch to escort Su Rong out of the imperial harem. Despite the offer of arranging a sedan chair for transportation, Su Rong was not fond of it, and chose to walk instead. As such, the eunuch led the way with a lantern while Su Rong sheltered herself under an umbrella as they made their way out of the palace.


Just as they started to leave, they ran into the sedan chair of Imperial Concubine Zhen.


Given that Su Rong's identity as a Nanchu princess was not a secret, it was unnecessary for her to step aside. Nevertheless, since she was on foot and everyone else was in a sedan chair, she decided to give way.


As the sedan chair approached, Imperial Concubine Zhen lifted the curtains and commanded, "Stop."


The sedan chair came to a stop instantly.


Imperial Concubine Zhen stuck her head out and, looking at Su Rong, asked with a smile, "Are you Lady Su Qi?"
