Heavens Blossomed Goddess~ [Y/N]

1

Although many have not known of 雪花黑曜石/Snowflake Obsidian] Xuěhuā Palace within the heavenly court, she has long requested the palace to not be shown upfront to keep her peace at bay and not disturbed. Though many have worshipped strongly even after her disappearance. The outside appearance near Xuehua Palace, snowed beautifully but once entered pass the gate, it becomes warm like spring.

~~

[Y/N] was in her palace, reading the scroll of case duties requested by his Heavenly Emperor after having a discussion separately with Xie Lian and Ling Wen through the Communication Array. She had suspicions that the heavenly court was more corrupted than she had thought. Yet it wasn't time to take action, just yet.

A trusted servant poured tea, in which every time was different, it was fun for [Y/N] to guess the ingredients. Hearing very light footsteps as she looked up to see Mu Qing, following behind was Feng Xin. The servant lowered their head, leaving from [Y/N] glance.

"Blessings to Her Heavenly Grace." They [hand gesture] in courtesy, a nervous look on Feng Xin face as [Y/N] tilt her head in confusion. Feng Xin has met her grace in the past years, yet even then he has felt a freezing sensation of fear whenever he was in a proximity of women. Mu Qing sighs with an eye roll as he spoke [His eye roll becoming a habit]

"It seems you haven't changed, your heavenly grace."

"Hehe, must I ?" [Y/N] giving a finger scratch of her [head] temple in concern-

"Yes." Mu Qing and Feng Xin synced with a serious look. They didn't want [Y/N] to be taken advantage of or targeted, even with her highest authority.

"Do not trust the officials, like Pei Ming."

"The General?" [Y/N] unexpected "General Ming Guang if that's correct?"

"Yes, correct ." Mu Qing and Feng Xin synced with a serious look once again as the two looked at each other with irritation, from copying one another. "Tsk, Are you trying to start something" "You started it"

"Now, Now. No fighting within my palace Generals.."

"Tsk."

"Ah.....a reminder of General Ming junior Pei Xiu, you two were involved as well?" [Y/N] says with a stern voice, a withering icy look towards the two, only saw this side of her if it was a serious situation.

"Aren't you shameless, General Xuan Zhen.... Belittling the Crown Prince, Xie Lian which the Heavenly Emperor favors greatly as well involvement of offending the Ghost King, Hua Cheng? He will surely summon death upon you, Qu Ming" Hearing Hua Cheng's name, gave them an agitated look.

"Your grace, the ghost king isn't to be reckoned with, Xie Lian may have joined him." Feng Xin says. The two were unaware that [Y/N] had been allies with the ghost king for years, even with the Heavenly Emperor's awareness.

"Silence!" [Y/N] placing her hand down as the noise echoes, more tension was in the room, [Y/N] eyes glowed for a second in irritation .

"Hua Cheng's among the four calamities, which is someone the Heavenly Emperor respects despite years of enmity. He has not shown any hostility towards me nor Xie Lian."

"General Xuan Zhen." [Y/N] glared at Qu Ming with disappointment, which unknowingly greatly affected him.

"Hua Cheng has taken offense towards your actions" [Y/N] deeply sighs.

"His heavenly majesty ordered punishment upon you but I offered to discuss further.." [Y/N] states, shutting her scroll, the thought about the four calamities evolving into darker evil troubled her deep down.

She met Bei Wuxiang only three times during his obsessive attempts to capture [Y/N] but is rumored to be defeated by the Heavenly Emperor, Jun Wu. Bei Wuxiang, known as White no face [White clothes calamity] most powerful yet eldest male within the four calamities, strike by a disease called "human face" that came from the dead souls of yong'an citizens of many who had deep hatred, grudge in seeking vengeance towards Xie Lian and his targets, using their weakest points, sorrow to his advantage. [Y/N] knew his tricks from the start, which never troubled nor changed her wellbeing of purity.

"Your heavenly grace..."

"......" [Y/N] was silent, not looking at the two-

The two males glanced at one another, debating whether to speak-

"Spit it out." [Y/N] says bluntly as she sips her tea, her aura felt colder-

"My apologies, your grace. I have a duty to attend." Feng Xin said "Blessings to your Heavenly Grace, May No Evil Follow." As he soon quickly scurried out the palace but was stopped by-

"Eh? General Nan Yang, why are you at Xuehua Palace." His Highness Crown Prince, Lang Qianqiu [General Tai Hua]  asked in confusion.

"Uh huhe, I had questions about her grace."

"Huh? Aren't you afraid of women?"

"Your Highness! We must be on our way." A guard said with panic as they were in a hurry to an urgent situation

"Awe! Why the rush?! I wanted to visit her Heavenly grace!" Hearing faint talking as [Y/N] quietly was humored as the atmosphere became more relaxed . It was now, [Y/N] And Qu Ming alone.

"Are you marrying his Heavenly Majesty-" [Y/N] almost spat out her drink, shocked by his remarks as she shook her head

"His Majesty and I are merely companions of one another"

"There were discussions that were brought upon the Empress Selection of whom is fit for the status."

"Is that what you were concerned about all along, Qu Ming." [Y/N] ask as her hand was on her cheek, elbow against her desk with a soft smile, the wind softly blew as petals passed .

"N-Nonsense your grace! I am merely... curious." He stuttered, avoiding eye contact as his cheeks turned flushed pink . Qu Ming was always judgmental towards others but found [Y/N] to be someone unforgettable. [Y/N] got up, walking down the short step of stairs, walking towards Qu Ming.

"I have no intention of becoming the Empress."
[Y/N] stopped, looking out to see the tree, the Heavenly Emperor gifted long ago.

"I always thought Ling Wen would be quite fit. She knows where his Heavenly Emperor is, more than I could...a determined individual she is. Ling Wen strongly opposed to it when I brought it up. I worry she's mocked by others but she's strong. I envy her at times"

"You are your own person, your grace."

"I am, aren't I? " Comparing yourself to others are for the weak minded. [Y/N] looked back at Qu Ming whose eyes widened from [Y/N] joyful smile , her hair tucked behind her ear as the wind breezed by, a petal landing on the palm of her hand. The petal turned into a full formed flower, which she handed over to Qu Ming, placing it tucked between his ear. Strangely small butterflies fluttered around them. Not knowing General Ming was sneaking around, witnessing their whole interaction as he can see why people were astonished by her presence..
