SUDDENLY EMPRESS
The Rice Hoarder Group
The king is now sitting on his throne and behaving as usual, the king pretends nothing happened to him. And it was a great success, no one seemed to suspect him.
The king read all the petitions - petitions that had been piled up on his desk, but the king found none of the petitions that alluded to the price of rice in the market.
Though already from a few days ago, when the king learned of the problem about the price of rice from Park bo geum, but in fact not a single petition that conveyed about the problem was royal.
So the king thought, "A**pa so far there are those who sabotage the petition - the petition that should be read by me? If that's true, I need to find out who did it."
The king glanced at the ministers who had lined up neatly before him, trying to see who he thought - think the brave minister brazenly sabotaged the petition that entered the palace.
But the result was nil, the king had absolutely no clue about my sip. But the king was convinced that the rice hoarder group must have had insider connections working in the palace. And have a pretty high position.
" I have to lure the enemy into hiding, with bait that will attract them. So that they'll come out and show me their nose sticks."
" Prime Minister Kim, didn't you report yesterday that the crops in our kingdom this time, are very abundant?" The king asked prime minister Kim tae-hoon, the father of the empress who is minister of agriculture and food.
" Right noble." Minister Kim replied.
" Would this harvest meet the basic needs of all my people, Prime Minister Kim? You see, I didn't see or hear that there were any complaints about their basic needs?" Ask the king to start throwing his bait.
" Right, your majesty, the harvest this time is truly abundant. So that ordinary people can also enjoy it at a cheap and affordable price. Even the tax returns from the farmers were also very much, until the granary of rice in this palace was not enough, and the servant was forced to order to put it in the warehouse of war equipment that was no longer used noble." Prime minister Kim.
" Oh, so it looks." Said the king while stroking - elus his chin with his lips together.
" But are you sure that rice prices are as volatile as prime minister Kim?" Ask the king who is now starting to pull the results of the bait he threw.
" Uhuk.uhuk..." Prime Minister Choi coughed upon hearing the king's question.
King glanced sharply at prime minister Choi, prime minister Choi was aware and knew of the mistakes he had made, then tried to swallow his saliva so that his nervous and fearful feelings were reduced. Because currently the body of prime minister Choi is shaking violently, due to the sharp gaze that the king gave her.
" I'm sorry your highness." Prime Minister Choi said.
Then the king turned his eyes back to prime minister Kim and waited for the answer that prime minister Kim would say.
" In that case, I have confirmed and checked with the servants' subordinates, about the price of rice in the market today. According to the servant, so far it is still normal and reasonable noble." Prime Minister Kim Honest.
" Well, I just want to make sure that your hard work is really good, Prime Minister Kim. But I hope you try to survey and revisit the price of rice in the market of prime minister Kim, so that the welfare of my people is more secure." The king gave advice.
" Good shall I do the noble." Prime Minister Kim replied, bowing in respect.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
After the palace hall meeting was completed, it was seen that prime minister Han tae Kyung and prime minister Choi and two other prime ministers were sitting in one of the rooms in the palace. They seem to be discussing.
" Why did the king arrive - suddenly asked about the harvest and the price of rice in the market? That day, it really shocked me." Prime Minister Choi complained and rubbed his chest.
" I think the king has started to suspect the price of rice in the market is unreasonable." One of the prime ministers is Hwang Min Hyung.
" It's true, because yesterday Han tae moo said that So joon followed him until the rice storage warehouse." Said the prime minister sitting next to prime minister Hwang min hyung. His name is Song ji Hyo.
Han tae moo is the ponakan of prime minister Han tae kyung the grand concubine's father.
" Really?" Ask prime minister Choi.
" Right, it was fortunate that Han tae moo knew about it. Then immediately remove all the rice we've stocked my residence." Prime Minister Hwang min hyung.
" It could be messing with his business if it was discovered by the king, it could - could be our heads floated or hung in the middle of the city." Said prime minister Choi who was thinly clasped. While rubbing his neck.
" Silent all safe." Prime Minister Hwang min hyung slapped the shoulder of prime minister Song ji hyo, who was sitting next to him.
" But we must remain vigilant, didn't last night Han tae moo report that last night So joon came to the rice storage warehouse again?" Ask prime minister Song ji hyo.
" It was true last night that So Joon came back to the warehouse with a man, after Han tae moo finished moving all the rice. So they didn't find anything there." Prime Minister Hwang min hyung.
" Good job." Said prime minister Han tae Kyung, who had just quietly listened.
Meanwhile, prime minister Choi smiled happily at the news he had just heard.
" Said last night Han tae moo also shot the man who came along with So joon, but his arrow missed just hitting his arm." Hwang min hyung said.
" Really?" Ask prime minister Han tae kyung.
" Han tae moo suspects that the man who came with So joon is the king, so Han tae moo deliberately shot him to make sure." Prime Minister Song ji hyo said.
" sthat mean?" Ask prime minister Choi who doesn't understand.
" If something happens with the king, it means that Han tae moo's guess is true that the man who came with So joon was the king, so Han tae moo deliberately shot him. So we know who that guy is? If it's the king, then we should be wary of the king, and immediately devise a plan." Prime Minister So ji hyo explained.
" It's true, too, but the king looked fine. Even his gaze was still sharp as usual, until my hair goosebumps made." Said prime minister Choi who shuddered in horror.
" Even if the man is not a king, we must not let our guard down, and must remain vigilant. Since So joon had already started to get suspicious and investigate the matter." Prime Minister Han tae Kyung.
" That's right, we need to stay alert. And I don't think that man is king, because according to the news that circulated last night the empress spent the night in the king's residence." Prime Minister Song ji hyo said.
" Really?" Said prime minister Choi who immediately smothered his mouth in surprise.
" How could it be, hadn't the empress been cared for by the king all this time." Ask prime minister Choi in disbelief.
" I don't know either, I just heard the news from the ladies whispering." Prime Minister Song ji hyo replied.
" When that's the case, you should find out about the truth about the news that's prime minister Han!" Prime minister Hwang.
" Well, I'll ask my daughter about this." Answer the Han prime minister with a face that is difficult to interpret.
Now prime minister Han tae kyung plans to keep his word to his colleagues to ask questions about the queen who spent the night in the king's residence to his daughter, and now the prime minister of Han was in front of the residence of the grand concubine and was about to visit.
Prime Minister Han entered the residence of the grand concubine and asked the lady-in-waiting to announce that he had come to visit.
After getting permission, prime minister Han entered the grand concubine's room. As soon as he entered the room, the prime minister Han's eyes swept clean looking at all the corners of the grand concubine's room that looked as messy as a broken ship.
" Why have your bad habits never changed? You should have remembered that your current position, it would not be appropriate to do so as a great concubine." Reprimanded prime minister Han who knows very well the character of his daughter when she is angry.
" Dad." Speak the great concubine with a sad face.
" I see, if you must be upset half-dead when you hear the empress staying overnight in the king's residence, but you still have to keep your attitude grand concubine, what if the diistana people found out that you were doing all this, you would become a mockery - the boos and gossip of the palace ladies. And your dignity will fall." Prime Minister Han then sat down before the grand concubine.
" What? The empress spent the night in the king's house?" Ask the grand concubine who was surprised by what her father said.
Prime Minister Han looked confused and astonished, with his daughter's reaction looking surprised as if she didn't know about the news.
" Didn't you know about my daughter's news?" The grand concubine shook her head.
" What makes you angry? So you're making your room a mess like this?" Ask prime minister Han curiously.
" Today afternoon the king came to visit, and said that he had fallen in love with the empress. And also said that the king already liked the empress from first sight, although the king had tried to ignore the empress, but his love for the empress continued to grow. Obviously all that, pisses me off. Though I've tried to keep them away, but why is it all in vain."
" But I did not expect that the king would take the empress overnight in her residence. You know, you know, even though I used to come to visit the king's residence, but the king never allowed me to spend the night there." Adu the grand concubine while holding back her cries.
Prime Minister Han approached his daughter and gently hugged and rubbed the hair of the grand concubine. " Oh, you can't be sad anymore. We better make a plan so that the king doesn't turn away from you."
" Daddy mean?" Asked the grand concubine and then looked up her head.
" You take it easy, you leave everything to your father. Everything will be fine, and the king will come back to you. I'll make plans for the queen and the king to separate." Said prime minister Han who tried to calm and reassure his beloved daughter.
After hearing her father's words, the grand concubine was relieved and re-hugged her father. Then prime minister Han kissed his daughter's forehead with affection.
At the king's residence, the empress seemed to be enjoying the breakfast that the palace chef had cooked according to the king's orders. The queen seemed to be eating voraciously.
But then the door of the room opened and displayed the figure of the king who had just returned from his meeting. The empress only glanced at a glance and continued to eat regardless of the king's arrival.
" It seems the empress enjoyed her breakfast so much that she ignored my arrival." Temptation of the king while walking towards the empress.
But the empress remained unmoved by the insinuations the king had uttered for her, and ignored them at all, instead scooping the food in front of her and putting it in her mouth.
The king sat next to the empress, then when the empress returned to scoop her food the king directly directed the dents held by her noble consort and ate her food.
The empress was clearly upset by the king's actions which she thought had littered her spoon with the king's mouth. Because for Rani, as long as she lived in modern times, she never shared food or drinks with others using the same spoon or straw. Clearly Rani felt annoyed and disgusted, and had no appetite anymore.
" Your highness." Rani who was upset.
" What?" Ask the king with a face without sin.
" That spoon belongs to the servant, why does the noble even eat using the former servant's spoon?" Rani Protests.
" Why is he?" Ask the king again pura innocas.
Rani ruffled her waist, and glared sharply at the king, but the king laughed at the behavior of the queen when she was upset.
The Empress was even more confused by the king's strange behavior. " Why people? What's the trance?"
The king looked at the empress' confused face, then approached her until the empress felt clumsy and regressed. But the king remained close to the empress until finally the empress' body lost its balance when rewinded, because her position was sitting makes it difficult for the empress to shift when the king began to approach her.
With swiftly the king holding the body of the empress, their eyes looked at each other and the heart of the two of them seemed to drift apart. Amidst the awkward situation, suddenly the king's hand touched the empress's arm and took the spoon that was being held by the empress, then the king returned to his original sitting position, and eat the Queen's food greedily and without shame.
Again - again the empress was made speechless by the king.
" My stomach is starving from last night I haven't eaten, so I have to wait for the palace cook to cook food for me." The king chirped while eating his food.
" Okay, your majesty can eat it" said the empress then took a teapot and poured the drink into a glass and drank it.
" Why not say it anyway, make people hang. If rich gini continues, long - long can sudden heart attack really."
Rani poured her glass again but again - again the king took a sip on her glass and drank it to the end.
Rani geleng - head gink saw the behavior of the king who was like a leak that was not given to eat for days. Rani smiled to herself.
" What is the Queen you're thinking? Why are you smiling to yourself?"
Jeder, the king's voice shocked the empress. The nervous and reflexive empress patted the king's arm.
" Nothing." Conscience empress.
The king grimaced in pain, and it made the empress worried. The empress forgot that the king's arm was wounded.
The empress is panicking, confused as to how. When the empress was about to summon Eunuch Jang who was outside the room, the king smothered the empress' mouth. And the queen was silent.
" You calm down, empress!" Said the king while enjoying the worried face of the empress.
When the empress had calmed down, the king began to release his hands that smothered the empress' mouth.
" I'm just kidding, did you forget my injured left hand wasn't my right hand." Said the king in a soft tone.
The empress frowned and waved her lips, feeling annoyed that she had been deceived by the king. It was almost that the reflex empress would hit the injured king's left arm.
But successfully prevented by the king. The king smiled sweetly to the empress. Until the empress was stunned by the smile of the king who mengeduhkan and make the heart of the dugun empress - dugun.
Then the empress asked the king if the king had changed his bandages? And the king just nodded.
Eventually the empress offered the king to change the bandage in her arm and treat the wound. The king gladly agreed to the empress' offer. Then the king asked Jang's eunuch for medicine and a new cloth. Slowly and painstakingly the empress treated and replaced the king's bandage. The king felt very pleased with the empress who treated him gently while treating his arm. It felt like the king wanted if time stopped this time, so that the king could continue to enjoy the gentle demeanor of the empress.
Bonus picture of the king who was pleased with the gentle treatment of the empress 🤣🤗
