SUDDENLY EMPRESS

The Hunt Festival 3

The king received the respect of the man, nodding his head. While So joon continued to stare and watch the person fixedly, without blinking his eyes at all.

" Pardon your noble servant, I do not know if the deer is a noble hunted animal. How shocked I am to see your Majesty here. The servant was only fascinated when he saw a deer that was large and had very beautiful fur, so the servant wanted to make it a slave game. I am so sorry." The man said and bowed his body again as a sign of his apology and regret.

" It's okay, I was just surprised, when it arrived there was an arrow that shot towards the deer." The king's saute while scratching the nape of his neck that was not itchy and smiled awkwardly.

" Thank God, thank you for your mercy." Saut that man.

The king felt familiar with the man who was talking and standing in front of him and was about to ask the man his name. The king did not ask, but the voice of someone who came to say hello was heard.

Rajapun turned his gaze to the source of the voice, so did So joon and the man also turned his head. It was seen that the Han prime minister and some of his entourage came to the king, then bowed in salute. The king looked surprised that the Han prime minister had come to him.

" Pardon the noble servant, if the servant interferes with the time of the noble hunt. I came here because I saw my nephew talking to his majesty." Said prime minister Han explaining what he meant.

" What do you mean by your niece, is this young man?" The king asked, pointing to the man standing next to him.

" Right, my majesty, this Han tae moo is my servant's nephew. I was looking for him because he was separated from our team." The prime minister of Han.

" Ooh so your name is Han tae moo, I was just about to ask you." The honest king.

" It turns out you're prime minister Han's niece, I deserve to feel familiar with you." King continues.

" What is a servant like that with a noble servant's nephew? Until - until the noble one feels familiar just by looking at Han tae moo's face. Isn't this the first time that your majesty has met my servant's nephew?" Prime minister Han's fishing rod.

" It's not really that similar, but somehow I feel like I've met her somewhere." The king replied casually but with a meaningful smile.

" really? It's possible that his majesty had met a servant's niece somewhere by accident." Saut prime minister Han.

" Maybe you're right, prime minister Han, but I don't remember." The king then looked at Han tae moo.

" So I was curious about the wound on your face, it looks like it hasn't been long since you got it, because it hasn't dried up completely?" Ask the king to Han tae moo.

" Ooh this?" Said Han tae moo then held his face that had wounds. " This wound was indeed obtained not long ago when I was practicing the sword." Lying Han tae moo.

" Really?" The king of mangosteen, then smiled thinly and raised one eyebrow. " It seems like you are the type of person who always tries hard, I like your efforts in practicing swordsmanship. Your uncle must be very proud of you, because you're very reliable." The king then patted Han tae moo on the shoulder.

" Ooh yes prime minister Han, did you teach Han tae moo how to ride?" This time the king turned his gaze to the Han prime minister.

" Right, your honor, since Han tae moo was a child, it was the servant who trained the sword skills and martial arts of Han tae moo directly." Answer prime minister Han.

" I believe in your ability to train the prime minister of Han, which is indeed unquestionable and extremely outstanding. But I suggest that you not be too hard when training Han tae moo. Seeing her get hurt like this, it seems like she's trying so hard to become someone you can acknowledge." The king said to the Han prime minister.

" Good noble, I will remember the advice of the noble. If your majesty doesn't mind, the servant along with Han tae moo resigned because we will continue our hunt." Prime minister Han's.

" Of course prime minister Han, please! Sorry for keeping you and your niece here too long."

" The servant has absolutely no objection to the noble, to be able to talk like this with his majesty is an honor for the servant and the nephew of the servant. That's when we step down, your majesty." Take out the prime minister of Han again.

Then the Han and Han prime ministers tae moo bowed in salute and left the king and So joon was followed by his entourage who walked behind the Han prime minister and Han tae moo.

After Han and Han prime minister tae moo left, So joon brought himself closer to the king. While continuing to look at the entourage of prime minister Han who had walked quite far.

" What noble has the same thought as the servant, about the nephew of prime minister Han?" So joon asked frankly.

" Do you think that prime minister Han's nephew was the one who attacked us yesterday in the woods?" Ask the king back.

" Right noble, from the scar of the dyed as well as on his face that has not completely dried up, I am sure that Han tae moo is the one." So joon replied.

" I guess what you said was true So joon."

" When he was the one? Then why did the Han prime minister even take him to this hunting event? It was as if he deliberately wanted to show it to his majesty."

" It seems like prime minister Han is starting to show who he is in the first place, because he knows that I might not punish him before I have enough evidence."

" It's best that from now on we have to be more careful! Because we don't know what prime minister Han is planning. With him boldly pointing his fangs like that, I think he must have prepared everything and the consequences he will have." The king warned So joon.

The hunt is almost finished, because it has been seen some nobles and royal ministers who have returned while carrying their hunted animals.

They brought their hunting animals, the tent where the noble ladies were waiting. Because after the king announces who the winner of the race, they will present their game animals to the people who are special to them.

This is where the real fight is, because if the noble lady gets or receives the hunting results from the jealous, then it is considered as a declaration of love from the jealous.

If there is a noble lady who gets more than one hunted animal and not just from one person, or a different person? It signified that the noble lady was getting a lot of love or rather that the noble lady was very popular. And usually the noble lady will be the center of attention among the other noble ladies and become their role model.

But on the contrary, if the noble lady does not get a single hunted animal, then she is considered that no one has love for her. That's why many noble ladies who bet on their pride are in this hunting festival. Even if you only get one hunted animal, it can save their face.

But the case is different with the natural Kim so hee, although he got the hunted animals from his father, the prime minister Kim. But she did not get the animal hunted at all from her husband, the king who used to still bear as crown prince. That made Kim so hee embarrassed, and decided not to follow every hunting festival event.

But now the story is different, because Rani did not expect to get hunted animals from the king. Rani also did not care about the scorn or scorn that she would get from the noble ladies present. Because the purpose of coming to this event was just to show her position as empress.

Because according to Rani cowardice Kim so hee who hide and avoid this hunting festival event which actually makes her reputation as a queen to be destroyed and not appreciated anymore. Rani just wanted to show everyone including the great concubine, that her position as empress was strong, sturdy, although blown by the typhoon would not falter.

However, it is his position that holds control and power over all things, after the king and the queen mother of course.

When Rani was still cool with her own thoughts, suddenly Prince Lee was already in front of her and it succeeded in making Rani surprised.

" Gosh, are you surprising me, prince?" Rani said while stroking her chest.

" I didn't think of anything." Rani Struggles.

" Well, then why were you daydreaming?" Asked Prince Lee who did not believe the words of the empress.

" It's prince Lee, you don't tease the empress like that." Tegur suri's. " Come here, come closer to me!"

Prince Lee was singing his lips because he got a reprimand from the queen mother, prince Lee pura - pura sulked and then approached the queen mother.

" How's concubine Song doing? Is it okay? At the end of the day, your mother rarely visited me in the palace." The Queen Mother asked Prince Lee.

" Mom is fine, late - late this mother has a new hobby, which is planting various plants." Prince Lee replied frankly.

" Thank God that I was so relieved to hear it, I was actually a little worried because he had not visited me for a long time. And this way your mother didn't come."

" Nenekan knew my mother could at least see blood, let alone injured animals, so my mother never came to the hunting event." Answer prince Lee.

" Yes I know, and your mother's fear is also decreasing for you. That's why you never take part in the hunt." Ejek the queen mother.

The words of the queen mother just caught the attention of Rani, Rani who had been silent since then did not care about the chatter between grandmother and granddaughter and then immediately put her ears wide to eavesdrop on their conversation.

" Aah grandma, are you mocking me?" Prince Lee snorted in annoyance. "Good grandma knows, I'm different from my mom. Not that I'm afraid, I just can't bear to hurt an animal." Bela prince Lee.

" Yes, your grandmother believes in you completely." The queen mother smiled happily because she managed to tease Prince Lee.

" Oh yeah, why do you always talk to me nonformally? Where's the tatakerama you've always been studying, huh? You bad boy!" Omel the queen mother then grabbed Prince Lee's ear.

Prince Lee grimaced in pain, and the empress laughed in satisfaction at the sight that comforted her. Tau himself was being laughed at by the empress, prince Lee glared sharply at the empress. Notya afraid of the plotting of prince Lee, but the empress even impressed indifferent. And instead the empress played more and more toying with prince Lee by mocking and sticking his tongue, prince Lee also snorted annoyed.

" Aaw already, please let go of Grandma! My ears will break." Prince Lee's whine.

The suripun mother felt sorry for Prince Lee who was already moaning in pain. Then release the jewelry, prince Lee rubbed his ears that looked reddened by the jewels of the queen mother.

" Granny is so cruel to me, does she not love me anymore?" Prince gerutu Lee.

" If I don't love you anymore, I'll hang you instead of picking you up. Because you've dared to be rude to me. You're the only granddaughter who dares to speak nonformally to me." Omel suri's.

" I'm sorry, your majesty, beautiful queen mother." Prince Lee's.

" I will not be consumed by your seduction!"

" Who says I seduce, my grandmother is indeed the most beautiful woman. But after my mother of course." Oceh prince Lee while grinning.

" You're so good at saying sweet, this time I'm sorry."

" Thank you, your grace is matchless." Prince Lee said in a lebay tone. Until the empress who heard him wanted to vomit.

" Look at me! The empress from earlier mocked me and also laughed at me." Adu prince Lee, who hopes the empress will also get spray from the queen mother.

But unfortunately, the queen mother did not respond to the words of prince Lee. The queen mother only smiled at the behavior of her two grandchildren who were like cats and mice.

Finally the king and So joon were back to the tent, it looks So joon is carrying a game animal that is very satisfying. Everyone seemed amazed - amazed, seeing animals hunted by the king and also So joon.

While the king, he only held a few rabbits in his hands. Because it is not possible that all the animals hunted brought by So joon.

The king approached the village and saluted, and the suripun mother received the king's honor. As symbolic of the king directly giving some rabbits his prey to the queen mother, the queen mother received the royal hunt with pleasure.

Everyone who was there clapped their hands, they all seemed to rejoice and happy to see the handover of the hunting animals of the king.

After the handover of the king's game animals was completed, the queen mother immediately returned to the palace. While So joon put the other king's hunted animals into the cage.

Prince Lee approached the king, then raised his hands in front of the king. " A hunted animal for me where are you?" Prince Lee said with a horse smile, which featured a row of white teeth.

" It's." The king said briefly while giving one rabbit child.

" Haaah, this time anyway?" Prince Lee protested while pointing at the rabbit boy proffered by the king.

" When you don't want to, you already do." Said the king and he was about to pull back his hand which was holding a rabbit child.

Seeing the king who was about to pull back the rabbit child to be given to him, prince Lee immediately snatched the rabbit child from the hands of the king.

" I want ko hyung, thanks for the rabbit." Prince Lee said with a wry smile.

The empress who watched the drama between the sisters even rolled her eyes lazily. After giving the rabbit boy to Prince Lee, the king went to prepare to see and assess the hunted animals of the nobles who attended this festival.

" So you came to this show, just to beg the game animals for your feet? Aren't you ashamed?" Ask the queen to Prince Lee. After the king left.

" Sheer-in-law shirk, envy says boss? If you want to say it?" teasing prince Lee while showing off the rabbit boy given by the king.

" Idiiiih, who also loves hunted animals with him." The consort's saute then looked the other way.

" Hmmm, prestige." Prince Lee said softly, but it can still be heard by Rani.

Ranipun ruffled his waist and glared at Prince Lee, then immediately shook Prince Lee's head violently.
