Today Rani was enjoying a very unusual sight, because she is now in the middle of a crowd of people who are passing along the road. Precisely now Rani is in a market.
Rani's smile ceaselessly expands from her tiny lips, Rani looks around the market, Rani is amazed by everything she sees. Rani did not think that the market in the joseon era could be neat and clean.
Rani's struggle to get to this market, of course, is not easy. He had to argue with both of his loyal maids first. Until Dayang Park gave permission to Rani, on condition that Rani must bring a ladyboy and also a bodyguard to guard her. But Rani protested, on condition of the main lady of Park, because if you bring a ladyboy and bodyguard, it will definitely look striking. And Rani also will not feel free to explore this joseon kingdom.
And finally Rani can stand here, Even though Rani must whine first to the main lady of Park. Parkpun's main dayang finally relented and allowed Rani to leave without her ladies and guards. However, the two loyal maids, asked Rani to take them, to take care of Rani. And the deal happened.
Rani seemed enthusiastic about her activities this time, she ran - run to and fro like a child. Understandably, Rani is not allowed to run around in the palace even just lifting her skirt, when walking is not allowed. Because an empress has to maintain good manners and manners in front of everyone.
Not knowing them, their children, grandchildren, their future daughters. Not only do they wear mini-clothes and skirts above the knees. Even they are free to run and dance in public. Rani could not imagine if the elders in this joseon, who always maintain etiquette - court etiquette and the nobility saw or watched Blackpink, SNSD, Red velvet and Mamamoo concerts. Maybe they'll fall unconscious.
But now Rani feels free, because she is now disguised as an ordinary girl. Rani is enjoying her time. And will not waste this opportunity. Rani seemed to buy everything she saw, from accessories, silk fabrics, shoes, and various snacks she bought.
Until Rani's eyes were fixed on the crowd - people who looked jostling - insistence. And that, makes Rani curious.
" Dayang Park, do you see those people who are crowding? Kira - think you know what they're doing?" Rani asked Park's main lady.
" It seems like there's a glorious show." Answer Park's main lady-in-waiting while observing the crowd.
" Let's see!" Take Rani with passion.
Go jang mi nodded approvingly to his lord's invitation, he also looked excited and looked eager to see the show. But the intrusion of Park's main ladyboy who forbade them made Go jang mi bowed lethargic.
" Not your highness, dangerous. Later on if anyone recognizes her noble as the empress of this kingdom, the two of us cannot protect her majesty."
" They don't know if I'm an empress. The proof of that is, no one knows us." Rani answered, convincing.
Go jang mi just silence, he will only follow the decision of the two of them. Although she was eager to see the show, what Park said was also a point. If anything happened to the empress, the two of them would not be able to protect her.
" Not your honor." Reject the main daydress Park.
" Come on, just for a second! After watching the show we'll go home." Rani pleaded with a glaring look.
The latter received a nod from Park's main lady. Seeing the empress's face that looked bleak and expecting it also made Park's main lady heart melt.
" But promise, after watching the show we go straight home." Park's main lady-in-waiting was very forced.
Rani and Go jang mi also smiled happily. And immediately blend into the middle of the crowd. The three of them came to jostle - urging to get the best place when watching the show. Without them noticing there were two pairs of eyes constantly staring at them.
Luckily Rani and her two loyal ladies have escaped the crowd that jostled, even though if they were in line, they might be faster to enter and get a place for them to watch the show. Instead of pushing each other like that, it makes the body so sick and not necessarily able to get to a place to sit.
Rani and her two ladies sat in the second row from the front. Rani and her two ladies sat down using only a mat. The main dayang Park and also Go jang mi glanced at the empress, they felt worried about the empress, because the lifetime of the lord, had never sat on a mat.
" Did the queen feel uncomfortable?" Ask Dayang Park.
Rani immediately shook her head, as if indifferent. " Not at all."
" If your majesty feels uncomfortable, we should just go back!" Go jang mi.
" All right, I'm fine. Let's enjoy the show." Rani replied with her bright smile that was as bright as the weather today.
The show was about to begin, and a middle-aged man greeted the audience. He explained about the show he was going to play, which is a puppet show. Maybe in indonesia wayang golek.
The man explained about the story he would bring, is about the issues that are popular in the palace at this time. About the neglected queen. The cheers of the audience were boisterous, they were very excited to know about the story of the neglected empress.
But before the show started, the middle-aged man, requested that the audience pay first. It looks like a middle-aged man whose age may be the same as the man, who explains the storyline that will be made into the show this time. The man went around to the audience while carrying the container, for the spectators to pay first.
Finally the show began, at the beginning with a puppet wearing royal clothes saluting the audience. Then the middle-aged man started telling me about the neglected Empress.
It is said that the king of this country wanted to match the crown prince with a girl of his choice, but the crown prince refused him because he already had a lover. The king forced the crown prince. Until finally the crown prince agreed, then the crown prince made his lover a concubine. The love of the king certainly flows to his concubine who incidentally is the lover of the king. The queen became neglected.
One day the empress fell into the lake and was unconscious for several days, until the healer gave up not knowing when the empress would wake up. Lucky like a miracle, suddenly the empress realized and emitted a different aura than usual.
Until the king was confused by the change of the empress who looked more beautiful like an angel, the empress who is now not only beautiful is also smart, and soft-hearted to everyone. The empress did not distinguish a person from her castle, she did good to everyone including her ladies-in-waiting.
And that made the king interested in the empress. Until finally the king realized that his concubine was not as good as he thought, and chose to apologize to the empress. Finally the king and empress were united.
The sound of applause from the audience echoed when the story was finished. They seemed satisfied with the show they were watching. Until a voice sounded from the audience who gave a question to the middle-aged man who had just finished telling a story. Call it a mastermind, let it be easy.
A man from the audience bench gave a question to the mastermind, and made the other spectators also curious about the answer from the mastermind.
" Is that really the story that is circulating in the palace?" Ask the man from the audience.
" Of course it's true, the news has been spread, but of course not all the stories that were told were true. Of course it's been peppered to make it more interesting." Answer the mastermind.
" If so, what news is currently circulating in the palace?" Ask the other man from the audience.
" What I heard anyway, ever since the empress fell into the lake, now the empress's appearance has changed to be much more beautiful. The empress also treated her ladies very well, with the news that she helped the ladies do their job and the empress even cooked her food and meals with the ladies in the palace." Obviously the mastermind.
" That's not possible, when a queen does the work of the ladies and cooks." Refute another audience, and allowed by the audience who are still there.
" Yes that's impossible, and it doesn't make sense."
" Why doesn't it make sense?" Shouted Go jang mi who was annoyed by the words of the spectators who did not believe the empress did all that.
" Yes right, surely the news is exaggerated. Just an image for the people." Said one more spectator.
The main dayang Park and Go jang mi had already squeezed her face holding back anger. Maybe if likened to an active volcano, now they have to be prepared, because the alert level is one. If it could be seen, a puff of puffed-up wedus smoke might have already come out from the heads of the two ladies, and were ready to erupt spurting lava. They both have their waists. Prepare to give curses to the audience who speak ill of their lord.
" On what basis did you say that, you never even met the empress." Main ladyboy Park.
" Right, you never met the empress. You have no right to talk like that." Go jang mi.
" It is true that, most noble ladies can only rely on their servants."
" That's most of the other noble ladies, the empress is clearly different. He was an angel who always treated his ladies well. Not only likes to help the task of the ladies, the empress is also not awkward to eat together, and play with the ladies. Even the empress would hug paying attention to her maids." Celoteh Go jang mi riding apitam.
" As long as you know yes, the queen's cooking tastes second to none in this joseon. Even the king of the eastern kingdom alone gave a special gift to the empress, because she was very fond of dishes cooked by the empress." Sumpang Dayang Park who already can not resist emotions.
" Who are you? why are you so pretentious about the empress?" Asked one of the spectators who felt astonished by the two women who seemed to die - defying the empress.
" Well, who are you?" Ask some spectators.
Instantly the main lady-in-waiting Park and also Go jang mi kicep, they were silent a thousand languages. Confused what to answer, then they both glanced at their lord, hoping to get help. While the glimpsed even throw away face.
" We know the ladies who serve the queen." Answer Park's main dayang with a brick.
" Alah, you only hear stories from others, as soon as you die defending the empress. We almost thought that you were the ladies who had been serving the empress."
" You two don't want to be fooled, the nobles are cunning. They like to spread rumors and lead people's assumptions to support them. It could be to attract the sympathy of the people, they spread rumors about the empress."
Hearing that, the emotions of the main lady Park and Go jang mi, were no longer held back. They had already rolled up both of their sleeves, as if preparing for battle. Seeing the strange waves of Park's main lady, as well as Go jang mi, Rani immediately pulled the two ladies towards her.
" No need to care, let's just go." Rani interrupted both of her ladies.
But the intrusion from Rani was not able to extinguish the fire that was burning in the hearts of the two loyal ladies.
" Pardon your majesty, I cannot remain silent." Park's main daystay.
" Your noble right, your noble self-esteem is being harassed. We really don't take it." Sela Go jang.
The two maids turned their bodies towards the audience who had earlier cursed the empress, Rani who was panicked continued to try to pull the two ladies. But nihil, because the power of Rani is not strong enough to drag two people who are possessed by killing.
" As long as you know yes, obviously we know more about the behavior of the empress, than those of you who judge the empress. Because we're palace ladies who serve the empress." Shouted the main daydress Park.
But the speech of Park's main lady instead made the audience laugh out loud.
" What's so funny?" Shouted Go jang mi.
" Obviously you two are funny, earlier you claimed to know the lady-in-waiting empress, now you claim to be the lady-in-waiting." Speak to one of the spectators, then laugh again.
" How dare you, mock and mock the empress. And don't trust us. Just so you know the beautiful woman standing there is this royal consort." Said Park's main lady-in-waiting full of anger while pointing towards Rani.
Everyone who was there was curious about the words they had just heard. And turned to look in the direction designated by Park's main lady. Because their curiosity is passionate - gebu, until finally the action of pushing was not inevitable anymore.
Until finally things are not conducive anymore. Park and Go jang mi's main ladyboy materials are already separated from their junjungan.
Rani obviously felt scared, with this commotion. He could only squat while covering his head using the robe he was carrying. So that people don't see his face. Can think of it. Until finally someone came to save him and took him away from the crowd that began to craze.
Rani keeps walking following the steps of someone who has saved her, Rani still covers her head with a robe. It sounded from Rani's ears, that there were still some people chasing after them.
They speed up their footsteps, the man wrapped his hands around Rani's shoulders trying to embrace and sweep her to a place that felt safe. Finally, the man decided to hide in a fairly quiet bookstore. They stopped at the corner of a bookcase in the room. Rani looked at the foot of someone who had saved her who was now standing in front of her.
" Male shoes." Inner Rani
Rani who was curious about someone who had helped her, and intended to say thank you, then tried to lower the robe from her head.
How surprised Rani when she saw a man who was now standing in front of her, who was looking at Rani sharply. The man walked closer to Rani. Then Rani who was shocked reflex rewind his steps. The man continued to advance his steps as well as Rani who continued to rewind her legs, until finally Rani stopped because her body had touched the bookshelf.
Then the man brought his face closer to Rani's face which left only a few centi. Even their noses almost touched.
Dag - dig - dug, Rani's heartbeat is pumping very fast. Rani's facial sharpness seems to harden aka stiff. But Rani's bones even melted, as if unable to support her weight anymore.
Rani simply bowed her face not daring to look at the person who had saved her, and clenched her lips tightly - a meeting daring to make a sound. Until the man's voice echoed in his ear, whispering a word that made Rani silently sculpt.
" Are you all right my queen."
