Surviving the Romance Fantasy

This time too, as he suddenly wanted to take the active room, the chief secretary took various measures of his own, and when the head maid of the palace was briefly ill, he personally came to check on her health.

Even though he was called a fool who cared for his daughter so much, Sangseoman In Seon-rok wanted to take care of In Ha-yeon until the end.

And because In Ha-yeon also knew that fact, she did not ask her father for anything more than necessary.

“Anyway, the business centered on the active room seems to be progressing quite well, so I can say I’m looking forward to the future.”

“Yeah… .”

“… Is there anything uncomfortable? Hayeon.”

The chief secretary noticed that the queen, who looked like a ghost, was in an unusual state.

Lady In was startled, put down her teacup and shook her head.

“Oh, no. “I’m sorry if I made you worry.”

“Hayeon. This father always lives with a sense of debt to you. I am playing my role as the head of the Jeongseon family and as the party’s chief secretary… “I often feel like I am not doing my job as a father.”

The Sangseogwan asked the maids and spoke without hesitation.

“By any chance, was it related to the deputy general?”

“… .”

“… That’s right too. You especially highly evaluated that deputy general. “I kept saying that if possible, we should bring him to the Jeongseon family, but unfortunately, he is not a vessel that can be easily controlled.”

Sangseogwan In Seon-rok had an accurate eye for people.

He is a person who has held the position of Sangseogwan for decades in this Cheongdo Palace, not in any other place.

Just by looking at Seol Taepyeong, he knew that he would not easily be loyal to the Jeongseon family.

“Ha-yeon, who only thinks about Jeong-seon whether she sleeps or wakes up, I am thinking that you will not be very happy about the situation now that you have lost your deputy general. However, there is always a time to pull people together.”

“father. then… Let me ask you one thing without adding or subtracting… .”

Lady In Ha-yeon has always been a confident person.

However, it has been bothering me that I seem to have no energy lately.

The Secretary of State was wondering if In Ha-yeon was so intimidated because the political situation at Cheongdo Palace was going differently than he expected.

However, that was strangely different from the truth.

“This year’s Heavenly Dragon Festival event was supposed to be led by the Jeongseon family.”

“yes. It should be held on a grander scale than when Princess Ahyeon, who was unwell, was the owner of Cheonryongchae. “The current owner of Cheonryongchae, Princess Cheongnang, has just ascended the throne and is healthy and full of energy.”

“that… Because there were so many items to be brought in related to the Heavenly Dragon Festival, I had various discussions with the owner of Anpyeong Store in the Imperial Capital. “I heard something along the way.”

Anpyeong Chamber of Commerce.

It was a place with a high reputation among the many companies responsible for logistics in the imperial capital. It has a deep history, and it is a place that even the dignitaries of the main palace have heard of.

“… .”

Queen Yin asked cautiously, showing signs of anxiety.

“Do you know the treasurer named Seonghyeolhwa who was found dead in the main palace several years ago?”

To that question… Little by little, In Seon-rok’s expression was hardening. From the father’s face as he looked at his lovely daughter, he became a normal scholar.

Bobusang Seonghyeolhwa.

The name of that lively merchant who traveled between the Western Region and the Imperial Capital selling miscellaneous goods… There is no need for a country’s chief secretary to remember this.

Nevertheless, Sangseogwan In Seon-rok remembered the name.

“you… Why are you bringing up that name? ?”

She was a woman greatly cherished by the traitor who left behind the greatest shock in the history of Cheongdo Palace.

She was the biological mother of Seol Tae-pyeong and Seol-ran.

A rebellion caused by Seol I-moon, the matriarch of Hwayong Seolga.

Lady In Ha-yeon lived her whole life resenting the traitor who killed her uncle In Chang-seok, whom she trusted and followed the most.

However, after seeing his descendant, Seol Taepyeong, he became curious.

Why did the loyal young soldier, who had been loyal to the country until his treason, rebel against the Qingdao government?

The reason was not written in the librarian.

“… .”

Sergeant In Seon-rok’s face was filled with worry.

Finally, he took a sip of his drink, put it down quietly, lowered his head, and opened his mouth.

And listening to the stories that came out of his mouth… Queen In’s eyes began to widen little by little.

‘Now that the chaotic situation has subsided, I think things are better these days… .’

Queen Po, who was sitting in a corner of Hyeonmu Palace eating refreshments, suddenly wanted to get some fresh air, so she climbed onto the tile roof.

The head maid asked her to just take a walk in the yard if she wanted to get some fresh air, but Po Hyeonbi, who was running around Baeksak Mountain, had no reason to listen to what she said.

Sitting on the tile roof and looking down at the scenery of Cheongdo Palace, Queen Po enjoyed the beautiful early autumn scenery.

Yes, it would be more peaceful. I hope this atmosphere continues forever.

I can no longer be swayed by this kind of political drama that gives me a headache just looking at it.

It was time to think about that.

– Hwaaa

A chill seeped out from behind her.

Po Hyeon-bi, who had developed five senses, quickly got up from his seat and turned around, and there was a familiar figure standing there.

“uh… uh… ?”

Po Hyeon-bi, who jumped up and widened the distance, flinched and trembled at the sight of the other person.

It was a woman who took on the appearance of Princess Ahyeon, who has now disappeared because she was dethroned.

Since the Princess of Cheondo’s attire on her body was still the same, Po Hyeonbi could not help but be dazed for a moment.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, a dark red monster attacked her. It happened in an instant.

What should I do to catch Geomzon Seoltaepyeong?

Baekgwi Ahyeon knew frighteningly well what the most efficient method was.

Surviving on Ropan Episode 114

Thin ice (3)

Princess Cheondo’s condition is strange.

After hearing the report, the head maid, Yi-ryeong, was already feeling dizzy.

What kind of problem has arisen in the body of Jin Cheong-rang, who has just ascended to the position of Princess of Heaven and is about to begin her work in earnest?

It was a big problem for Jin Cheong-rang herself, but of course it was also a problem that the head maid who assisted her could not take lightly. This is because he is a person who must be assisted more closely than anyone else.

“Princess… I don’t think you should appear in front of others in your current state… You can find out more by looking at it yourself… .”

When Seol-ran entered the inner room with the head maid, Lee-ryeong, she was seen smiling brightly as if she were the happiest in the world, hugged in the arms of Seol Tae-pyeong.

* * *

Looking at her with a bright smile as she was held in her arms as if everything else was okay, she looked like just a girl of that age rather than an authoritative Cheondo princess.

“… “Princess?”

“Oh my, you are the head maid. “Today, I want to be held in the wide arms of the Lunar New Year for a while, so please put other plans on hold.”

“this… What happened to this large joint… .”

Lee Ryeong, the head maid, has worked at Cheonryongchae for almost her entire life. According to my experience, there was no one among the maids in the palace who could be compared to her.

Since she was already an elderly woman and worried about nasolabial folds and gray hair, many people thought of her as just an old woman in the back room, but that was an arrogant judgment. Even as she got older, Lee Ryeong, the head maid, did not lose her sense of reason and was quick to figure things out even in urgent situations.

‘Clearly, the princess is not in a normal state right now… !’

If you look at the hazy eyes or the weak mouth, it almost looks like a wild animal playing according to its own instincts.

No matter who we are, people live with their instincts tightly tied.

If you take away the self-control inherent in your mind or the reason to judge a situation, everything becomes ugly.

So, does that mean that these are Jin Cheongrang’s true intentions?

Just looking at my master’s disgrace makes me feel dizzy, but there is no time to be confused anyway.

Lady Lee Ryeong thought that the first thing to do was to sort out the situation.

“Princess. Deputy General is in trouble. first… Once you fall, you have to think… .”

“hate. There are too many thieves in the palace… .”

Jin Cheongrang covered himself with the energy of Zen and spoke as if crying.

“This person and that person are all trying desperately to capture the Vice General. I was the one who made contact with him first, so why can’t everyone be upset because I couldn’t take Seol Mu-in, who was tightly held in my arms? Lee Ryeong-ah. “Are you also planning to steal the deputy general?”

Seol Taepyeong’s vision was already becoming blurry as he saw Jin Cheongrang hugging him tightly with a body filled with the energy of Zen. The situation just seems chaotic right now.

If I come to my senses later, why on earth would I go out of my way to do this?

Well, it seems like he’s lost his mind now, so it’s a meaningless story.

The sight of Seoltaepyeong, sobbing and hiding it like her own treasure, was so pathetic that even the seasoned head maid couldn’t figure out what to do in this situation.

Since Jin Cheongrang is skilled in the art of sailing, you never know what might happen if you try to forcibly separate him. We must do whatever it takes to prevent things from getting worse here.

In that case, in the end, I had no choice but to ask Vice General for cooperation.

“Ji, as you instructed, we will cancel all future events. However, there are too many eyes inside Tianlongchae… First, how about moving toward the Blue Dragon Palace with Vice General?”

Tianlongchae is one of the most prestigious facilities in Qingdao.

In this place where so many eyes are watching, it is realistically impossible to protect Jin Cheongrang, who is so insane.

So, it is absolutely right to move her to the Blue Dragon Palace, where many of Jincheongrang’s people are located. For a decision made in a state of bewilderment, it was the correct answer.

“The Four Great Palaces are a hotbed of thieves who want to steal the Vice General… ! Please just stay in Cheonryongchae… ! Here… If you stay here, none of the owners of the four palaces will come to visit you… .”

“Is that possible? First, let’s go to Cheongryong Palace… .”

Seol Tae-pyeong, who sensed the chief maid’s intention, quickly grabbed hold of the bait. First of all, the only person who could induce Jin Cheongrang at this point was Seol Taepyeong.

“and… Tianlongchae is a place where enemies are everywhere. The chief maid and the maids of the Blue Dragon Palace are the people who have protected the princess since childhood. Wouldn’t you feel a little more at ease around them?”

“that… .”

“first… Leave Cheonryongchae… .”

When Seol Taepyeong spoke quietly, only then did Jin Cheongrang nod with a timid expression.

When Seol Tae-pyeong gave a glance, the head maid and Seol-ran told the maids to quickly prepare the palanquin.

The head maid would take good care of the future schedule.

The important thing was to return Princess Cheondo to her original state before the situation escalated.

As I headed to the Blue Dragon Palace with the maids who guarded Jin Cheongrang, it was very difficult to manage my facial expressions.

Looking at the situation, it seems clear that Baekgwi used some trick on Princess Cheondo.

I don’t know what kind of cause and effect Jincheongrang went through to end up like that, but it seemed right to find the white ghost and cut it down before it became more dangerous.

‘surely… You’re thinking about how to kill me… .’

The attack was so sharp that I got goosebumps all over my body.

Is this really true of the past? My heart feels grand… .

In any case, if you make me disappear into the dew of the execution ground, won’t the purpose of the reverse return be achieved?

There is no need to swoop like Wolgui, and there is no need to swing a sword like Ilgui.

If Princess Cheondo rushes at you, pressing down on you with her authority, there is no way to push her away.

Among powers, power is said to be social power. What kills adults is not a gunman with a knife, but a boss at work.

Because it is so unnecessarily realistic, it actually makes me feel cold.

– Chaang! Kaang!

Near the palanquin where Princess Cheondo is paraded, two middle-aged maids hit a glass rod with a dagger, making a refreshing sound.

Princess Cheondo is passing by here, so everyone around her is told to show respect.

Even the officials in the palace who are busy coming and going bow their heads and show respect when they see Princess Cheondo’s palanquin.

Thinking that Princess Cheondo is watching them from inside the palanquin, they all do their best to pay their respects.

As I walked through it, I had to quickly gather my thoughts.

It looks like he’s calming down now that he’s inside the palanquin, but once he gets to Cheongryong Palace, Jin Cheongrang will run wild again.

If this is the case, you won’t be able to get out of the Blue Dragon Palace, let alone find the White Ghost.

‘If you’re going to somehow get out of the Blue Dragon Palace, you need a reason. While Lady Jin is gathering herself in the Blue Dragon Palace, we must find the white ghost walking around somewhere in the concubine and cut it down.’

Since I won’t leave my side even for a moment, Qin Qingrang won’t let me go easily.

If so, now is your chance. She takes advantage of the gap in the kiln and quietly escapes, finds the white ghost, and cuts it down.

‘I’m going to need help. Not only is it difficult to search the harem by myself, but it also attracts too much attention in the first place. A person who can mobilize manpower within the harem… .’

The owners of the four palaces immediately come to mind.

However, Jin Cheong-rang is mentally and physically weak, and Queen In and Queen Ha Deok-bi do not want to be in debt because their backs are so huge. This is because the consequences are large and the consequences are large.

Then there was only one person left. Among the masters of the four palaces, he was the most open-hearted and easy-going person.

If we borrow the authority of Queen Po and mobilize the maids, we will be able to search various points within the concubine.

There is no need to go through the Geumnam area yourself, so all you have to do is share the situation and cut down the ghosts.

He said there is no harm in knowing a lot of people in power. It’s great because there are so many people who know.

I steeled myself, sent the palanquin to Cheongryong Palace, and then quickly walked toward Hyeonmu Palace.

I didn’t know how things would turn out if Jin Cheong-rang found out that I had escaped, so I had to quickly resolve the situation out of her sight and come back.

“Yes, then I have to help. “I’m asking Taepyeong for a favor.”

“Thank you so much. “I will definitely repay this debt.”

As I ran towards Hyeonmu Palace, the head maid of Hyeonmu Palace was startled and quickly guided me to the tea room.

It seemed as if he had never expected that the deputy general of a country would knock on the main gate of Hyeonmu Palace without a single soldier.

When he entered Hyeonmu Palace, saying he had urgent business to do, fortunately, Hyeonbi Po-ryeong was there.

I was uneasy because he said he sometimes goes for a walk outside Hyeonmu Palace, but it seemed like a timely visit.

“I committed a great act of disrespect by visiting without any formalities or circumstances. “Once the matter is settled, I will definitely send someone to give you a befitting reward.”

“It’s okay~. Taepyeong. “Why are we so polite between us?”

“I… Po Hyeonbi… That is… .”

From Noble mtl dot com

Hyeonbi’s light green hair is smiling brightly as she drinks tea. And when you look at all the colorful flower-shaped ornaments there, it feels like you are looking at a flower field in early spring.

Her beautiful yet simple demeanor seemed unbefitting of the authority of the owner of the four palaces, but thanks to her innate tolerance, even such simplicity appears to have a unique charm.

However, something was a little strange today.

I lowered my voice and spoke in a whisper.

“A listening ear… There are some around… .”

“huh? It’s okay because Chief Maid Anlim is a trustworthy person. And the same goes for the ladies-in-waiting… .”

“Even so… .”

“Aha, indeed. Taepyeong also has a lot to worry about. don’t worry. Is it such a big problem that we just became friends? “It’s not like I was an apprentice warrior, and now I’m a deputy general.”

“No matter what, there is a special law… .”

“Oh, you know I don’t care about that. Taepyeong.”

No matter how powerful Pohyeonbi liked to be in relationships, she still established her own authority in places where many eyes were watching.

However, today I especially felt like I didn’t care about what people around me were thinking.

And the ominous feeling was that being right is usually the order of the day.

“I think everyone knows that we have a close relationship. “Anyone who looks at you with worried eyes or tries to stop you is jealous, so don’t attach too much importance to it.”

“yes?”

“That’s right. What kind of place is this Cheongdo Palace? Pursuing true relationships in a place full of all kinds of politics and fraud. How romantic that is. It’s not that easy being close friends like us. I know Taepyeong will never betray me. Of course, I will never betray Taepyeong in my life… It’s inevitable that you’ll become the object of jealousy for someone who wants to have that kind of relationship. huh?”

I raised my head and looked at Po Hyeon-bi again.

It was the usual Po Hyunbi appearance. A beautiful appearance is something that all the owners of the four major palaces have, and along with that, they have an easy-going yet warm sun-like appearance that seems to embrace people.

Nothing has changed.

Nevertheless, I can feel something strangely mismatched between the smiles as he holds the teacup.

I heard that there are various forms of people turning away.

While there are cases like Jin Cheong-rang where you can immediately see what a person has become upon seeing them, there are also people who subtly change from within.

“I’m so proud and glad that there’s someone as powerful as Taepyeong. Let’s go for a long time. huh?”

“Po Hyeonbi?”

When I sensed that something was unusual and noticed the maid Anrim’s gaze, she also began to make an unusual expression.

“what. Are you worried about the differences between men and women? I don’t think Taepyeong looks at you that way, so don’t worry, really… Don’t worry too much. Well, the situation has been the same so it’s not strange to be worried about that.”

“No, that’s not it… .”

“But what is the difference between being close friends and being between a man and a woman? Where should the boundary be drawn? Hmm… That’s a bit difficult. Of course, you shouldn’t do anything that goes too far, but… What about hugging? Is that a bit over the line? How about holding hands or something? What about making eye contact and exchanging glances? “It’s really unclear what that standard is.”

“Po Hyeonbi. now… that… It’s not possible… .”

Was he this talkative to begin with?

By the time I realized the strangely disjointed feeling, Hyeonbi Po had already stuck her head out in front of me.

“And regardless of the fact that I don’t think of Taepyeong that way, how should I treat Taepyeong if he feels that way about me? Or is there a need to make that ambiguous line concrete?”
