THE QUEEN'S PALACE HALL
At the same time, Hwa Ryong and the Queen were busy making embroidery together. The queen looked up occasionally, checking the look on her daughter-in-law's face with a worried face. But unlike what he had expected, Hwa Ryong looked flat and relaxed. There was no worry or sadness.
The queen cleared her throat, making Hwa Ryong instantly stop sewing. “Are you okay, Uhmamama? Would you like to drink herbal tea?”
The queen looked at her daughter-in-law, dear. He shook. “No, Princess. I'm fine.”
Hwa Ryong then smiled in relief and continued his activities. The queen looked back at her daughter-in-law in confusion. “Are you okay, Crown Princess?”
Hwa Ryong was confused. “I feel healthy today, Uhmamama.”
“Is there not the slightest bit of sadness in your heart today? You've heard the news about Eo Mi Kyung, haven't you?”
Hwa Ryong nodded. “Iya, I've heard and even met him, Uhmamama. But Uhmamama needn't worry. This does not make me sad.”
The frown on the Queen's forehead deepened. “But, you love the Crown Prince, don't you? Doesn't this hurt your heart?” ask the Queen in a cautious tone.
“For me, loving the Crown Prince does not mean I have the right to limit his heart. From the very beginning, as I said before, I wanted to be the Crown Princess who supports the Crown Prince completely. For the Crown Prince, having a concubine is a very good thing. And there is no reason for me to refuse or be sad about this, Your Majesty. Because the happiness and safety of the Crown Prince is a priority for me as his wife. If being patient can help the Crown Prince, I don't mind going through it. After all, I feel Eo Mi Kyung is a good figure. I want to be able to be friends with her and I am sure we can help the Crown Prince together as the Crown Prince's wife.”
The Queen ran out of words. He did not expect his daughter-in-law to be so wise and patient. He could only sigh in relief. “But still, Princess, Mother feels guilty about this. I hope you will forgive this decision of your mother. If something happens later, don't hesitate to ask for help. Do you understand?”
Hwa Ryong nodded. “Mother is innocent of anything. Is it wrong for a mother to want the best for her child? Sure didn't. The Princess was even so happy because Mother had tried her best for the Crown Prince.”
A warm smile adorned the Queen's face. No more worry on his face. Sirna is like a morning rumble swallowed by solar light. But that smile did not last long. The Queen suddenly remembered Mi Kyung's ambition just before the Crown Princess's competition began. He knows very well that Mi Kyung is eyeing the position of Crown Princess. The queen swallowed deeply. His heart was again broken.
The news that the new concubine was unable to attract the attention of the Crown Prince was widespread in the palace. Instead of getting cold and leaving the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince was getting busy visiting the Crown Princess at all his free time. Dayang-daang was busy gossiping about the intimacy of the Prince and Crown Princess who was so intimate and friendly. The news of the bird seemed to hit Mi Kyung hard. He had never expected that the Crown Prince was such a cold and resolute figure to him.
Mi Kyung is not a bad girl. She is no less beautiful than Hwa Ryong. Dancing, calligraphy, the art of flower arranging, literature, even martial arts can be mastered extraordinarily well. Mi Kyung's perfection is so in line with the real Crown Princess's criteria. This is what makes Mi Kyung furious when another girl who she thinks is no better than herself, is chosen as the Crown Princess. Moreover, Mi Kyung has had feelings for the Crown Prince since long ago.
He was ten years old when he first met the Crown Prince. There was a celebration at the palace and his family was one of the invited guests. Together with his family, he visited the Joseon palace for the first time. Amidst the celebration, the young Crown Prince soon catches Mi Kyung's attention. The Crown Prince was the most handsome man he had ever met. Not only handsome, the Crown Prince was also so wise even though he was still young. Many people praised the Crown Prince's cleverness. This makes Mi Kyung want the Crown Prince even more. And the only way to get the Crown Prince is to be his wife, the Crown Princess.
But now that hope is gone. He had to swallow bitterly that the position of concubine was the most likely he could get.
Mi Kyung used to think that the position of concubine would be able to bring her closer to the Crown Prince, but in fact it was not. The position of the concubine before the Crown Prince seemed to be the same as the position of the palace guard. The Crown Prince never even glanced at Mi Kyung. This made Mi Kyung so furious.
“Takkan I let this continue.” he said, deep, while grasping the tea cup tightly.
