Summary
Xiao Chuan held Zhou Fei’s hand all the time playing in the palace, tugging her from one place to the next, but it seemed like she was the one leading him on as they traveled, letting go of her father’s hand when she held his. When the 48 Strongholds finally loomed in the distance, her mother stood waiting for them at the mountain gate.

Summary
The door closes quietly behind Xie Yun as he bows low, and Zhou Fei looks up from where she is reading on the bed in her chambers. She is decked in full imperial robes, donned anew for their game this evening rather than kept on since the morning court session, and she skims her gaze idly up and down the flowy robes Xie Yun is wearing.
The draping, gauzy silks in gray and blue land just on the side of casual enough to prevent the court from falling into disarray at the sight of their emperor strolling the halls dressed like the concubine he is playing at for the night. Zhou Fei has left off even the minimal headdress she wears for court, but has otherwise attired herself in the embroidered high-necked robes and fur-trimmed cloak that are her right as empress-consort. Tonight, in this room, she is his empress who commands him, not his empress who rules at his side.

Summary
It seems he’s lost his touch.
He used to know all the styles the ladies wore. The cross bun, the flying sky bun, the ice cloud bun—everything in between. But now, as he attempts to bend Zhou Fei’s locks to his will, he finds his memory slipping. Is it a twist here? A pull there? As he cards his fingers through her hair, they don’t seem to remember. The familiar, usual movements he once knew have slipped from the memory of his body and mind.
That… that must be a good thing, right?

Summary
They all have such pompous-sounding titles, A'Fei thinks with an eyeroll as she moves from one ancient writer to another. 'Lord of the Elegant Letters', 'Mistress of the Roiling Sea', 'Pillar of Wise Elocution', 'Royal Highness of Sorrow'...
She slows to a stop in front of a collection of works written by the last one, not quite sure why.
It's just... something about the title of the writer... and the weathered and faded script on the scroll lying unfurled within the display case...
The back of her neck prickles, hair standing up a little in gooseflesh.

Or, Xie Yun and Zhou Fei meet again.

Summary
Xie Yun supposes he is grateful for the rumors about Hai Tian Yi Se, grateful enough for the drifting life that he leads. He prepares simple meals with the rations they send up. He watches the migrating geese, and the deer that sometimes venture past the treeline and drink at the stream. He rereads his books, luxuriates in each new text that he absorbs every five days, and dabbles in composing plays of his own. He dreams of adventure and romance, travels and heroism.
