Curse of Rumpelstiltskin - Fairy Tale

Another Story of Rumpelstiltskin

This fic was inspired by the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin.

~Before you start, you can read a short summary of the original fairy tale, if not, then go to the "*****"  to start directly with my version of the fairy tale:

Original fairy tale:

A miller claims his beautiful daughter can spin straw into gold. The King sends for the daughter and sets her the task of spinning a chamber full of straw into gold overnight, otherwise she must die. The miller's daughter is desperate until a little man appears, offers her help in exchange for her chain and spins the straw into gold for her. On the second night the same thing happens again, this time for the price of a ring. The King then promises the girl marriage if she can spin another chamber full of straw into gold. This time the male demands the first born child from the miller's daughter, which she finally agrees to.
After the wedding and the birth of the first child, the male demands the promised reward. The miller's daughter offers him all the riches of the kingdom, but the male demands her child. Softened by her tears, he gives her three days to guess his name. If she knows it on the third night, she will be allowed to keep the child. On the first night, the queen tries all the names she knows, but without success. On the second night, she tries unsuccessfully with names she has asked her subjects for. The next day she learns from a messenger that a little man lives in a small house far away, who dances and sings around a fire at night:

Today I bake, tomorrow I brew,
the day after tomorrow I'll fetch the queen her child;
Oh, how good it is that no one knows
that my name is Rumpelstiltskin!

The queen first asks whether Rumpelstilzchen's name is "Kunz" or "Heinz", and only then gives the correct name that has been handed down. That's how she solves the riddle. Rumpelstiltskin becomes very angry and tears himself apart with rage with the following words: "The devil told you that!!!

*****

Once upon a time, long ago, far beyond the green forests, past the red plains of poppies, in the bosom of the yellow mountains, there lived a miller. He lived away from the village, right next to his golden wheat fields, together with his son Baili Hongyi. One day at his village inn, he boasted and claimed that his son was not only the most handsome, but that he was so beautiful that even straw turned to gold under his hands.

A servant of the empress heard this and quickly rushed to her. For what the empress loved more than anything else was gold. He told the empress what he had heard. The empress immediately sent two guards to the miller and had him brought to her.

"So your son is beautiful?!"

"Yes, my Empress." The miller knelt before her and bowed low.

"So beautiful that in his hands even straw turns to gold?"

"I...I was just saying that."

"So you claim you were lying?"

"No, my son is handsome, the most handsome!"

"If he is really as beautiful as you say, then according to you, straw turns to gold in his hands."

"But no!"

"Then you have lied to the Empress?"

"No!"

"So your son can turn straw into gold?"

"No... I mean..."

"So your life is forfeit. Lying to the Empress is punishable by death."

"My Empress, please!"
