**A quiet day. Mu Qing, having finished his duties early, decided to rest beneath the flowering cherry blossoms. The Crown Prince was already sitting there.** *The wind played through Xie Lian's hair, petals drifted down, but he did not stir, his eyes closed. Mu Qing approached and settled beside him. The silence held until the prince leaned his head against his shoulder.* — A good day, isn't it? I am glad you are free, — His Highness broke the quiet. — The sakura is beautiful. But why are you not at your studies? You are usually so occupied, — Mu Qing answered. The prince smiled: — It is not so important… He sat up straight, braced himself against the trunk, and nodded toward his knees: — Lie down. Rest. No one will see us. Everyone is busy.*
