Episode 545 Stabbing and Piercing
“Your Majesty the Emperor, news has come back that you have left for Fuzhou as the Imperial Commissioner.”
“Oh, yes, do it!”
At the sound of the eunuch’s voice, the young emperor, who had been lying down and resting, suddenly sat up from his seat.
Because the news we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived.
These days, the Empress Dowager has been ordering the Emperor around on various tasks, so I didn’t want to be disturbed when I was resting. But if I had heard any news, I would have brought my younger brother’s reply.
So I jumped up and headed towards the table, the door opened and the news I had been waiting for came inside.
“Your Majesty, I have returned carrying out the orders of the Honorable Minister.”
“Oh, how’s the news? Did you have a good trip?”
“Of course, Your Majesty the Emperor.”
The news came in and bowed his head towards the emperor.
The young emperor spoke to Sosik, who had gone to help his younger brother with the culinary exam he had been told to open.
“You may raise your head.”
“I am so grateful to you.”
At the Emperor’s words, So Shi’s head was raised, and as soon as his head was raised, the young Emperor asked with an effortless, solemn expression.
“Yes, my brother, ah, no, did you meet Yeon Seong-gong’s agenda?”
Then, in response to the emperor’s question, Sosik smiled and answered.
“Of course, Your Majesty. I have successfully completed the culinary examination and have also successfully delivered the secret letter sent by the Emperor, and have brought you a reply.”
“Oh, is that so?”
The Emperor was honestly having a headache because of the Qujiangyeon (???) that the Empress Dowager had recently entrusted to him.
Because I had never done it before and the Empress Dowager told me to check it out myself, I didn’t know what to do.
I was able to get the hang of it thanks to the help of the ministers, but the problem was cooking.
The ministers who brought a book with the names of various dishes came and asked what dish they should make.
The person who came to mind at that time was my younger brother, Cheongun.
When I thought about giving food to those who won first place in the music competition, I thought of my younger brother, Cheong-un, who was a chef.
At first, I invited her here under the pretense of cooking and just wanted to get some advice.
It was fun talking to him, and he made delicious food for me.
That’s why I tried to send a secret letter quietly, but since there were many of the Empress Dowager’s people in the palace, I ended up getting caught, and I thought I would get in trouble for trying to send a secret letter to Cheongwoon, but it was a groundless worry.
When the Empress Dowager found out that the recipient of the secret letter was Cheongun, she even mobilized the secret department to deliver the secret letter.
It’s not a bad thing to be friends with Cheongun.
Well, in the end, the idea of ??inviting them over for a wedding failed and they ended up only receiving food.
“Okay, then hurry up and send the letter that Cheongun, no, Yeonseonggong, sent.”
“Here it is, Your Majesty the Emperor.”
A letter from Cheongun received through the news.
I was just about to take a look at it.
A voice coming from the park.
“The Queen Mother has been kidnapped!”
The story that the Empress Dowager had come to the Emperor’s residence was heard through the eunuch’s mouth.
“Te, the Queen Mother?”
The Emperor, who had done nothing wrong, looked startled when he heard that the Empress Dowager had come to visit.
It was because I had been scolded so much even though I had done nothing wrong, so I felt nervous whenever the Empress Dowager came.
“Your Majesty, I came running here after hearing that my high-ranking minister had returned. Are you okay?”
“Oh, of course, Your Majesty the Queen Mother.”
“Huh? A letter? Oh. This is something sent by Yeonseonggong? Can I take a look?”
“Yes, please do so.”
The Empress Dowager entered without hesitation.
The Empress Dowager was the first to open the letter from Cheongun that the young emperor had been trying to look through.
And after examining all the letters, he smiled with satisfaction and said,
“The Emperor’s Red-Roasted Ice-Crusted Fish is indeed a dish of the Duke of Yan. Isn’t it a dish fit for the Emperor’s authority?”
It was then. A word came to the young emperor’s mind at the mention of Gap-eo.
“Wangppadan? Huh···.”
Words that came out in front of the Queen Mother without one knowing it.
The smiling face of the Empress Dowager changed into a scary one, and the Emperor had to listen to the Empress Dowager’s scolding for saying bad words.
“Your Majesty!”
***
Before I knew it, it was already March.
That meant my sextuple wedding was just around the corner.
Sectorples may bring to mind some lewd thoughts, but sectorples are a way of counting the numbers: single, double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, and so on.
So, what was being said was that a big wedding was imminent.
Peach blossoms bloom in April, but it’s already March.
“My lord, will these flowers bloom well?”
“That’s probably true, Mimi. Usually, when you transplant a tree, all the fine roots are cut off and it doesn’t bloom well the next year, but didn’t we bring it with all the fine roots alive?
So, it will bloom well this spring too.
“When planting, I filled the space between the fine roots with soil.”
As April approached, all the wives’ attention was drawn to sponsorship.
It seemed like he was worried that the peach tree he pulled out might not bloom.
However, the fine roots have all survived and the branches have absorbed water and are in a fresh state.
Perhaps the peach tree would bloom without a hitch.
“And isn’t the old man who sold the peach tree taking care of it? So don’t worry. Unless lightning strikes from the sky, there won’t be any trouble.”
Moreover, the old man who sold us the peach tree is also responsible for after-sales service, so there is no need to worry too much.
Unless lightning strikes from the sky.
“I hope so. Cheong-i said that at her wedding, when the flowers withered, the petals fell like rain, making it beautiful.
So I was grateful to my husband for suggesting that we have such a beautiful wedding.”
“exactly?”
I never thought Cheong-i would have such feelings.
As expected, our angel Cheong.
My heart ached when I heard Cheong-i’s words through Mimi.
Come to think of it, I don’t have any good memories of my wedding with Cheong.
Because before I saw Cheong-i’s face, all I felt was surprise, sadness, fear, and horror.
‘Yeah, now that I think about it, it was a good thing I asked Cheong to do it too. After all, sad memories are meant to be covered up by good ones.’
On the way back after checking the condition of Mimi and the peach tree.
Thinking about it, the thought that the wedding really isn’t that far away came to mind again, and I remembered that there were things I had to prepare urgently.
Because there was only about a month left.
The fact that there was only one month left meant that the invitations had all been distributed and that General Bang would place an order for the ingredients for the meal according to the date, but given the large size of the Central Plains, it meant that the guests might start arriving one by one.
‘I guess I should get ready to welcome the guests first.’
So, as I entered the restaurant with Mimi, thinking that I should prepare General Bang for the guests, even though it was a bit late for breakfast, I noticed a woman enjoying brunch alone at an empty table on the quiet first floor.
Guests who arrive early, no, guests who seem to be staying at our place.
I approached her and asked.
The cooking class was over, but it seemed like he had no intention of leaving.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you going back?”
“Oh, you don’t have to say the opposite of what you want me to say if I don’t go back.”
“yes?”
“I feel like Cheongwoon has been a bit cold to me lately. Is that because he thinks I’ll feel better? Okay. I lost.”
“No, that’s not what I meant···.”
As expected, the king of Chang made me feel awkward when I spoke to him.
The king of the castle teased me to the fullest and then smiled and said:
“Haha. Anyway, Cheongwoon’s wedding is coming up soon. I’ll go and come back later, so I’ll wait and watch the wedding before I go.”
“Oh, so that’s what happened?”
“Yes, I thought it would be fun. A wedding with six brides in the Central Plains. What could be more fun than that?”
“Is that so?”
My wedding was probably a great spectacle for the King.
Well, this is true not only for Changwang but also for most people.
That’s why I nodded my head at her answer.
The King of Chang’s words, which were thought to have ended, continued.
“And I have a question too.”
“Anything you’re curious about?”
When I told him that I had a question, Changwang tilted his head and looked at me, resting his chin on the table.
She looked at me with a sinister look and said.
“Yes, is it really going to end at six? I mean, something like that.”
“yes!?”
“Isn’t it possible that one more could be added in the meantime?”
‘No, even if this woman speaks ill of others, how could she speak so ill of others…’
Seven days a week, that’s the most horrible ending I can think of.
He said with a shudder at the chilling words of the king, saying that he had to work without resting even for a single day.
“T-That’s nonsense! T-Don’t say such horrible things!”
Although I am the sworn brother of a Confucianist, the official religion of our Ryu family is the Cross Brother.
My brother told me to work six days and rest one day, but working seven days was absolutely impossible.
As I gave a serious answer, King Chang brought his face closer to mine and spoke in a quiet voice.
“Actually, I was just joking a little while ago, and I’m really curious about something else.”
“Huh? What?”
“It’s the first night. How on earth are we going to handle it? Six brides and one man. No matter how much I think about it, it’s questionable.
I don’t have any experience in that area, but if I think of possible herbivores, there are two.
“Continuous stabbing or one-time piercing. Which method will Cheongun choose?”
“Yes, what is that?”
At first, I wondered what he meant when he said he was curious about the first night, but when I thought about it, he was in his mid-thirties, but according to the theory of virginity in the mind and body of King Chang, he was a virgin.
So the first night could have been a bit curious.
But the words immediately lead to a herbivore song. When I tilted my head wondering what on earth this meant, the King of Chang very kindly explained it to me.
“It’s frustrating. Do they go one at a time? Or do they all go together in a pool of wine and a forest of meat? Do they stab you in succession on the first night or do they all go at the same time? That’s what I’m most curious about.”
The King of Chang was curious about my first night, but I was most curious about what was filling up the King of Chang’s head.
‘Is it possible to live a normal life?’
***
“I need to buy a house, Cheongun.”
“Are you talking about the house?”
“Yes, guests will be arriving soon, but the number of guests that can be accommodated at the banquet hall is limited, and we can’t have them stay at other guest houses, right? After all, the wedding ceremony is supposed to be held at the main house.
“Well, Cheongun’s home is far away, and for other reasons, we can’t have guests staying at our home, so we’re talking about buying another house.”
When I reminded General Bang that he had to prepare to receive guests, Biyeon quietly called me and suggested that we buy a house.
Originally, large family banquets were attended by many guests, and at such times, all guests were provided with the convenience of eating, sleeping, and lodging within the family until the day of the banquet.
However, as Biyeon said, our family’s hometown is in Bokcheong, about half a day’s drive from Bokju, and since people from Cheonmasingyo were coming, we couldn’t have the guests tied up there.
Because we will meet each other.
Because many of our guests are Baekdo Murim people.
“I understand what you’re saying, but wouldn’t it be a waste? And houses aren’t easy to sell?”
Since the gisaengs of Biyeon sent him money without any shortage, he had no shortage of money to buy a house.
But I was a little worried about the fact that I, who had lived as a commoner my whole life (no, two lives), was buying a house to use temporarily for my wedding.
So when I said that I was worried, Biyeon shook her head and answered.
“You don’t have to worry, Cheongun-nim. Just owning a house increases your value. It’s not a loss if you buy it, keep it, and then sell it. If it’s a gain, it’s a gain. And if it doesn’t sell, you can use it as a store.”
‘Are you saying that there is no loss if you invest in real estate?’
If you think about your past life, wasn’t there a saying that real estate is undefeated?
Since I needed a house anyway, I nodded to Biyeon’s suggestion.
“Okay, let’s give it a go.”
Because I thought that at my level, investing in real estate wouldn’t be a bad idea.
And the last thing Biyeon said was each point.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Ryu to open a second branch of Banjeom.
‘It might not be a bad idea to reserve a second location in advance, right?’
It will be based on a regular house, so it will have a ?? garden feel.
‘Yeah, I’m a citizen of the country now, so I need to learn some upper-class culture.’
Wasn’t speculation on real estate exclusive to the upper class?
Well, I’m buying it to actually use it though.
