Schemes Of A Flower

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."

Chapter 6 (Second Update)_1

The Peach Blossom Valley, serene as a utopian haven, contrasted starkly with the bustling outside world.

Wan Qi, spurring his horse on with urgency, returned to Capital City. He reported to the ailing Empress Dowager the details of his mission to deliver the Marriage Annulment Decree to the Hua Family in Lin'an. He did not withhold a single detail and, after finishing his report, kneeled to beg for the Empress Dowager's forgiveness.

Upon hearing Wan Qi's words, the Empress Dowager's face shifted through shades of green, white, red, and purple for a long time. Angrily, she asked, "Are you saying that there was a traitor among your men? And you had no knowledge of it at all? Someone switched out the decree? And when you pursued the matter, you discovered that it was taken by someone from the Hua Family in Lin'an?"

Wan Qi nodded his head in shame.
