Wangxian Prompt/Self-fill Dump

Yunmeng's Shenhong Lianhua Pt 1

Prompt:

Yunmeng was a kingdom built on series of massive lakes filled with lotuses. They were small, but rich. Many wanted ties to them for the trade and for their skills in crafts as well as swordsmanship. What no one knows is that what makes the kingdom special is that living at the heart of the Yunmeng Kingdom, surrounded by the Lotus Pier Palace, was a great big crimson red Lotus that housed a beautiful and powerful fairy. The fairy had saved the Queen's life while she was giving birth to her eldest child and had saved her son's life when he almost drowned as a toddler.

However the Fairy died and her flower had turned black with red tips as it closed. It would be a couple of years beforenit bloomed again and her child would be born. The Queen, who had owed the Fairy so much, had vowed she would raise her son as her own and ensure he was kept safe. However time would tell what fate had in-store...

Snippet:

"Wei Wuxian! You get your little backside down here this instant!" Huffed the queen as she stood under a great flower that loomed high above and sitting nestled in the center was her adopted son. "The Jins will be here any minute and we cannot afford that idiot knowing about your secret!"

"Oh, right..." Wei Ying murmurs as he slips off the perch he made in the giant flower and slips easily through the air like a feather as the flower shrinks and returns to ita normal form just as he touches down. "Sorry Auntie..." He bows his head and she lightly slaps him with her fan and gives a soft smile.

"Go find, a'Cheng and get ready. We are also expecting the delegation from Gusu Lan. They are not use to how open and free we are so please try to behave arounf the young masters." Queen Yu says and shoos him off, shaking her head before turning to her handmaids. "Have extra security around a'Xian's chambers and wing. I do not want to give anyone a reason to snoop around."

"Ma'am." They bow and hurry off as she turns again to see her husband coming down one of the outdoor hallways. He smiles at her and she gives a fond smile.

"Did You find a'Xian?" He wonders.

"Just sent him to get ready." She agrees and he cups her cheek. She blushes and slaps his hand away. Flustered and giving a biting comment that he knows she does not mean because she is still so new to genuine affection. Her family were a harsh resilient clan, she was the youngest of 5 daughters and was treated harshly but with love. However she was not use to softness and often used anger as a shield. However her husband has warn her down over the years and her friend, Cangse Sanren had helped. She missed a'Ren, but was please her sonbwas growing well.

"You miss them." He says and she smiles sadly. "We will find out what happened. For both yourself and for a'Xian... Now come, my lady, I recieved word that the Gusu Lan Delegation has been spotted sailing across the lake."

The death of the original Fairy, Cangse Sanren had been a mystery to them for some time. She had lived her whole life in Yunmeng and thus had fallen in love with Wei Changze, at the time the personal asistant of crown Prince Jiang Fengmian before he was given the title and position of advisor after said man became King. Cangse Sanren had fallen for the quiet man and he for the lively Fairy. They had a long courtship because Cangse Sanren did not want to simply marry because liked someone. She wanted someone who would be with her in good and bad times. Someone who would love her as both an immortal and a mortal.

It was around this time that Yu Ziyuan had come to live in Yunmeng in preparation to be married. She had hated Cangse Sanren at first when she had caught the fairy leaning in a rather suggestive position on her fiance. However the Fairy had worked hars to earn her forgiviness and finally got when Yu Ziyuan had a severe complication having her daughter. The Fairy had flown into the room in a ball of moonlight and took her full celestial form, Yu Ziyuan had been stunned and it allowed the fairy to feed her a special food pellet from the God of Medicine that allowed her to have her daughter and enough strength to recover. Ever since she had slowly begun to get to know Cangse Sanren, whom she realized hugfed and leaned bon those she liked or loved. She started to do it to Ziyuan as soon as she realized that the young queen was no longer hostile toward her.

When her secind child, Jiang Cheng had been born, Cangse Sanren had been there ready to help if she had another issue but thankfully Jiang Cheng had been an easy birth. However it was when he was three and had toddled off alone and fallen into the lake that would solidify Yu Ziyuan's love and friendship in Cangse Sanren. The Fairy had been resting in her flower when she felt the shifts of disturbed water and went to check it out. She hurried to pull a'Cheng out of the water spelled the warer from his little lungs just as Ziyuan had run around the edge of the lake to get to them. The fairy gave him a bit of her lifeforce to help him recover from his near death and ever since Queen Yu swore sisterhood and friendship with her.

So it honestly shocked her when one day about a year or two after Wei Changze abd Cangse Sanren left to visit the Fairy Realm to speak with a'Ren's mother, that the giant Crimson lotus had suddenly turned black and seemed withered as it closed shut and sunk into the lake. It was a terrible omen and it heralded ill news. It would be months later they would hear about the deaths of Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren. A supposed Night hunt gone bad. That was impossible. Changze had been the Head Disciple when he and Fengmian were boys, he was a strong and capable guard and later on a valued advisor. He was not so easily bested and by a Yao of all things.

And then there was Cangse Sanren. She was a powerful Fairy, having spend a lifetime cultivating and she ruled a vast land and kept it pure and clean. Only the odd low level ghoul or Yao appearing and being either dealt with or left alone as long as they left the humans alone. She has faced demons and other creatures before even fellow fairies or corrupted versions of them. It was impossible that she was was killed by something so low tier. No something happened, but no one knows what. The only witness was Wei Wuxian, but he had been traumatized and it affected his memory. He had told them whenbhe suddenly apleared in the flower thaat had risen once more brilliant crimson once more that he remembees his mother asking him tone at in the protective circle. He doesn't know why she asked or what haplened just that one moment he was waiting the next he was attacked by dogs and woken up in the flower where he spent the year or two recovering from the attack. No one dared to press him. Not only in fear of causing him harm but of Queen Yu as well. Ever since, she kept Wei Wuxian close, she guarded him as fiercely as she guards her own children. After all he and her a'Cheng were only a week apart in age.

Yu Ziyuan blinks as her husband kisses her brow and she sighs, she had veen lost in thought but thankfully the love of her life was there to keep her safe and grounded.

"We will find out the truth... Just give it time... Now come, out guests have arrived and I am certain our children are greeting them now." He says and she sighs.

"We need to worry about a'Cheng's tenper." She huffs and he laughs. "Why did he have to get it from me?"
