Closed PSL for Q

[raddishpeddler]

Wen Ning was extremely nervous as he approached Cloud Recesses. He had arranged to meet with the Sect Leader to discuss an important proposal that he had recently recieved from the Emperor himself. The proposal had caught him off guard and something he didn't think was imaginable. It was rare that the Emperor even showed interest in the cultivation world. It was something he couldnt take lightely as it would helpp bridge the two worlds together. Yet, if he was honest with himself Wen Ning simply wanted to hide. He never imagined that becoming a Sect Leader would bring in oppurtuntiies he didn't realize were possible. He needed sound advice and one that wasn't judging or demanding.

This visit would also allow time for him to see his friends and get a small break. Once he arrived, Wen Ning still had time before he was able to talk with the Sect Leader. He chose to seek out WuXian for the time being.

She was nervous about that as well. But that wasn't something that they needed to do that sort of thing right this moment and luckily, she had an idea for at least something to talk about.

"Who was that sweet little boy who came over to say hi?"

[raddishpeddler]

Wen Ning brightened up at the change of topic and the question at hand. "His name is A Yuan and he is Gusu Lan's heir to the sect. You met his father earlier. He was the one wearing the blue travel robes and the one retrieving him. His mother is WuXian, the young man he was standing with. He's going to be the one helping teach you about the various sects and cultivation history. You will be seeing a lot of A Yuan as well."

He reached to pour them more wine as he waited for the inevitable question. How could Wuxian have A Yuan? The number one question everyone had no answer to. Either way he was grateful for the discussion and it was better to have that one now then later.

[snowbirdprincess]

Well, that was certainly a way to get the topic off what they were expected to do for the wedding night: literally, throw it way off into left field. Meili nodded pleasantly hearing about Yuan and his father, but the comment about his mother...

"How... how is a young master the mother to a child?"

[raddishpeddler]

"That is the question everyon has asked and no one has an answer for including WuXian himself. Yet, the cultivation world can be quite a mystery. We are assuming it might have a connection to being a cultivator? Our world has just come to accept the fate. For Gusu Lan because he's a mother he's treated also in many cases like a woman would be treated...hence part of why he's teaching you."

Wen Ning calmly explained as he carefully put the words together. He wasn't sure how Meili's family would accept this explaination, but it was something the sects have decided was the answer and just let it be.

[snowbirdprincess]

"I see..." It was still very confusing, but if she wasn't the only one who had a question as to why this had happened, maybe it wasn't so bad. She'd just have to accept it as everyone else did.

"I see. An interesting predicament he has, being a master but also considered a woman."

Clearly, he didn't seem to mind much considering he was in public with his partner and their child and at a wedding none-the-less.

"It will be nice to meet them all officially tomorrow. And I will endeavor to learn well what Master WuXian has to teach me about the cultivation world."

[raddishpeddler]

"He seems to handle things as they come along pretty well. But WuXian always had that personality to quickly adapt to things. I warn you he can be rather mischievious person and also a flirty hands on type of person. He's calmed down a lot since having A Yuan.

His son can be rather mischievous as well and is extremely smart. He's been known to slip past both his parents from time to time. Just be mindful of what you say to him and promise." Wen Ning further explained with an amused smile.

[snowbirdprincess]

She smiled listening to him talk about WuXian. Clearly, he had a lot of respect for WuXian considering he was warning her about him so that she wouldn't be surprised.

"I will remember that about WuXian. It is good that he has changed at least some since he is a role model to a child."

She chuckled softly. "I see. A-Yuan certainly got away from his mother at least. I will be careful with my words around him."

She was used to that with the princes and princesses. Little kids were impressionable. They also remembered things forever even when you thought that surely they would have forgotten.

[raddishpeddler]

"You will get used to everything in time. Never hesitate to ask if unsure. Most are pretty easy going and wiling to help. You will run into a few hard heads out there, but eventually they will turn around. Or they'll learn."

Wen Ning stated as he helped himself to more of the cakes and fruit. He hesistated a bit before offering to share a piece of cake with her.

[snowbirdprincess]

"Thank you. I will certainly ask if I have any questions. I'm sure there will be quite a few for a bit."

Both for running a household and about being the wife of a cultivation sect leader. She was sure she'd get help on both parts. His family would likely help her with learning to run the household and the others would help her with understanding how the sects worked in more detail.

She smiled as he offered her a piece of cake. "Thank you."

[raddishpeddler]

Wen Ning smiled in return as he went to eat his own share.

"I'm sure I'll still have plenty of questions in return especially when I host your family. I believe I have one wing set off just for your family alone. I want to make sure it could accomdate your family's needs. Should they need more room I can still arrange for that to happen.

I can't wait to give you an actual tour of the castle," Wen Ning commented. "If I'm not around, we can make sure someone will be with you until you're familiar with the layout."

[snowbirdprincess]

She nodded in understanding. "And I will certainly help you with understanding my family and their needs. It is a little high maintenance when they come to visit, but it'll get easier once you are around them and are starting to learn more about them."

She grew up in it. She knew how many maids traveled with each consort when they went traveling anywhere. She knew which consorts couldn't have housing close to each other because proximity might cause them to start arguing with each other. That wasn't something someone would know naturally.

"Thank you. I'd appreciate that, both the tour and someone to assist. I'm sure the maids will need a tour as well from one of the servants who works here already." Since she wouldn't see the pathways that were intended only for servants.
