SUDDENLY EMPRESS

Ppopgi

Once it felt safe, the king and empress came out of the bookstore. Now they are walking towards a fairly simple food store. Arriving there, they both scanned all corners of the store to find a seat. But it is very unfortunate that they do not have a place to sit. Because the tavern was very crowded visitors, then when Rani told the king to look for another tavern only, suddenly a middle-aged woman came to them.

" Mister Kang Joon, welcome." Greet the middle-aged woman while bowing in respect.

Rani looked startled and frowned, hearing the middle-aged woman's greeting to the king.

The king received respect. " My news is very good, it looks like your area is very crowded today?" Ask the king to the woman.

" Right sir, this is all because our tavern is issuing a special menu for summer master. So many people came to enjoy it, sir." The woman answered with a friendly smile.

" It's a pity that I want to take my wife to eat your ass, madam." The king complained with a disappointed face. And glanced at the empress who was standing next to him.

Rani is further confused by the words of the king who introduced her as his wife. His wife, how could a man who never considered himself a wife. Kim so hee is the real one. Then without shame, now he introduced Rani as his wife. Rani could only shake her head.

Then the woman looked at Rani, and was surprised. " Omo, I can't believe Mr. Kang Joon's wife is an angel. You are so beautiful, Miss." Praise the woman and then smile.

" Special to Mr. Kang Joon and miss, I will give you a special place. Let's follow the servant!" Bring the woman.

And then they walked in the footsteps of the woman, who led them to the back of the tavern. Until they finally saw a cot with a small table on it, right under the tree.

" Please ladies and gentlemen can sit here." The woman allowed. " I'm sorry for the place. Please be advised, this place is not reserved for visitors. This place is commonly used for workers to rest." The woman explained.

" It's okay - is this more than enough madam." Answer Rani friendly.

" Oh yes sir and miss want to order what?"

" We also want to order a special menu for the summer, like those guys. I ordered two portions." The king answered, raising two fingers.

" Good sir, I'll get it ready soon." The woman then withdrew.

The atmosphere was quiet but cool because of the breeze blowing the wind of the twig - the branches of the tree made the king and Rani who sat under it feel comfortable. But they are a little awkward. For they were sitting alone, waiting for their order that would not come.

" Hmm." The king cleared his throat to melt the atmosphere. " How come, the empress is outside the palace like this. Without the guards?" The king asked while looking at the queen.

Rani scratched her non-itchy neck, and cast her face off in every direction to take her eyes off the king who kept looking at her in full search.

Rani has not yet spoken. " Well, answer the queen?" The king's voice had already intruded on Rani to answer the question the king had given.

Rani gave her a grin. " Servants are only bored, if they have to be in the noble palace."

" Why don't you bring a bodyguard and a lady-in-waiting?"

" Slave does not want to look conspicuous if you have to bring a bodyguard, but the servant brings the servant's lady."

" Dam." King clucking. " What day? Instead of protecting you, they expose your identity and endanger you. Anyway, when the palace arrives I will immediately punish them."

Rani widened her eyes to hear the king's words. " Please don't punish those noble ones, this is all the servant's fault. The servant who forced them to leave the palace without an escort." Rani pleaded with the king.

Rani who usually dares to fight the king, but this time her guts become shrivelled, because she does not want her ladies must be punished for her. Rani admitted that this time she was guilty. So Rani did not fight the king and invited him to argue as usual.

Then their food finally came. Two servings of mul-naengmyeon (cold noodles with beef sauce) are available on their table. After the waiter who delivered the food left the table of the king and Rani, the atmosphere stiffened again.

Rani swallows her saliva in nervousness with the fate of her two loyal maids. The good food presented in front of him did not make Rani appetite at all. Seeing Rani who was still silent and did not eat her food, the king also thrust chopsticks in front of Rani's face.

" Food is not to be eaten, but to be eaten. Eat up!" King exclamation.

" Why appetite, if you know both servant ladies will be punished." Grutu Rani while singing her lips.

" They were punished, wasn't it all because they obeyed your orders, empress." The cynical king.

" Milk." Rani sighed giving her rough breath. And put on a moody face.

" Why would the empress care so much that they would be punished? Aren't they just a ladyboy?" The king asked, raising one eyebrow.

" They have been considered like the servant's own family, your majesty. When servants feel sad, happy, they always accompany the servant. When there are those who try to slander and scorn the servant, they are the front guard who will defend the servant. When there are people who want to harm their servants who will protect the servant and willingly sacrifice everything for the servant. Of course, I don't want to see them get in trouble and get punished for being slaves."

" Alright since I'm being kind, I won't punish them." Said the king while looking at the sad face of the empress.

" Jinjja?" Rani did not believe what she heard.

The king simply nodded, confirming the question from the empress. Rani's eyes immediately sparkled she felt very happy and felt relieved because both of her ladies did not get punished.

But instantly he immediately bent his face back, when he realized something. The king who knew the change in the face of the empress was astonished.

" Waeyos? Shouldn't you be happy now? Because I've already lifted their punishment."

" How can I be happy, if I don't know, what is their fate now? After being separated from the servant."

" Haaah, isn't this really cold noodles huh? Funny." Funny." Rani then shook her head inexhaustibly with the words of the king.

They also enjoy the cold noodles with greed and wisdom. Only the sound of noodle whipping was accompanied by wind. And occasionally Rani praised the taste of the food she was eating. Because according to Rani, the food is very tasty and refreshing. It is well enjoyed in the summer.

The king and Ranipun had already finished eating and paid for their food. They were ready to leave the store. But the voice of the shop owner's women stopped their footsteps.

" I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to give you this." Said the shop owner's woman while offering a parcel to Rani.

Rani frowned confusedly, "Is this madam?" Rani asked while shaking the parcel she had already touched.

" Hmmm, that's samgyetang (whole chicken soup with healthful spices) a gift from the servant to the lady. Because this is the first time you have invited his wife to come to the servant's donkey. Usually you just take his partner." Answer the shop owner.

Rani sure, if what is meant by the owner of the store must be Park so joon. Rani smiled happily, "Thank you madam, this food must be very good, like the cold noodles I ate earlier."

" Thank you, my wife loves to eat." Said the king while smiling ignorantly towards the empress.

Rani immediately glanced at the king with a dislike look. Rani's head now seemed to be overgrown with two horns like a demon. It was very curious Rani pinched the lips of the king who liked the nyinyir.

" King has his mouth lemes."

Though Rani's intention after the tavern, he will thank the king, for saving himself and cancelling the punishment against his lady. But it seems that the intention must be undo Rani because she felt annoyed with the words of the king who mocked her.

From the tavern, the king and Rani walked - the street, look - look at the residential residents around the market. It was all the will of Rani, who was curious about the settlement of citizens in the joseon era. With the reason of wanting to walk first, while lowering the food that had just been eaten, Rajapun obeyed what the empress wanted.

" Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?" Rani said that broke the silence.

The king stopped his footsteps and faced Rani, then nodded his head.

" It doesn't seem like this time alone, the noble went out of the palace and disguised as a noble? Even the noble one seemed to be familiar with the tavern owner earlier? And how could that noble one have arrived - arrived at the performance venue and saved the servant?"

Finally, the questions that had made Rani curious, and eager to ask the king had he thrown.

" It is true that I have often left the palace in disguise, and the tavern, was indeed a subscription store I was with So Joon to eat, while outside the palace. And how I got there, because I accidentally saw someone I seemed to know, running around the market like a kid, leaving unattended. That's why I decided to follow him for fear of something unwanted happening. It turns out that what I'm worried about is true, the guy's troublemaking and fishing a ruckus at the show." The king replied while insinuating the empress.

Rani rolled her eyeballs carelessly because it got insinuations from the king.

Indeed, Rani had guessed, from the first meeting with the king in the library earlier. Rani who saw the king wearing ordinary clothes, must be in disguise to review the lives of his people. Kaya didrama - the drama she watched.

" Yes my noble apology, by the way, it seems that the madam of the shop owner earlier, must not know his noble true identity huh? Looking from the way he called his highness, with the name of Mr. Kang joon." Ask Rani again who is still kepo.

" Of course, the lady who owns the shop doesn't know, if you know for sure she'll pass out. For having a great guest, who is willing to eat food in his place." Answer the narcissist king.

Ranipun was caught off guard by the attractiveness of this one king. Until then Rani's small eyes, accidentally caught an interesting thing that made her feel amazed and want to approach him.

Rajapun was surprised by the behavior of the empress who suddenly left him. Soon the king followed the queen's steps. Until the steps they both stopped in front of the residence of the residents, a middle-aged man was doing the attraction of making candy with various funny shapes. The middle-aged man was surrounded by several small children who were about to buy his candy. They seem to be waiting for their order candy so.

Rani's eyes looked sparkling - a twinkle looking at the scene in front of her. Realizing this, the king offered the empress.

" Do you want a ppopgi?"

" Pop?" Rani is confused.

" Yes, the candy being made is called ppopgi." The king answered while pointing towards the round, flattened candy and there was a picture of the character in the middle, using his chin.

" Oh, it's called ppopgi." Rani nodded her head. " Yes would."

" Wait a minute, I'll order you!" The king motioned by raising his 5 fingers.

Finally the king's order was finished, the king ordered two ppopgi. Then the king approached the empress and gave her one ppopgi to the empress.

It is heart Rani this time feel very happy, not in vain it feels like she went out of the palace. The sweet smile from Rani's lips continued to radiate. Seeing that, inexplicably the king felt that something was tickling his heart. The king then turns his lips when he sees Rani's cute behavior when eating ppopgi. Then they both enjoy ppopgi while walking.
