The Examination of Love for a Princess
Chapter 16's
Suzy has begun to gradually improve after the miscarriage that in her natural a week ago, only has not been allowed to do activities so that the time is only used for painting and occasionally reading lessons that are still to be learned. Empress and Consort Chang sometimes checked her condition with the physician and the court nurse who took care of her. Only Sohee still feels guilty about the incident that befell Suzy let alone Myungsoo cover up the truth that made Suzy miscarry, making her even more guilty.
"You don't want to see Suzy again, she must be glad you came" said Seungho, who accompanied Sohee to the park at Sungjong's family home. Because it was while in Seoul Seungho was forced to stay at Sungjong's house so that access to the palace was easier.
"I still feel guilty for her, so I don't have the face to see her. Everyone blames it when it's my fault" Sohee said looking at the plants in front of her.
"Myungsoo and Suzy are sincere even though they still slightly regret this incident, if you do not meet her Suzy will also be sad. He asks you every day and we have to lie and say you're still in shock because of that."
"But I still feel guilty brother, Suzy lost her son because of me"
"You don't miss it, you just keep quiet at home. Next week for the new year? Eunji said the palace is having a party, you don't want to see the preparations that the palace is doing"
"You're the same as Sungjong, forcing me into the palace"
"Then come, Suzy has missed you so much. Consider this the destiny of God, make the lesson to be more careful"
"you're right, brother. Gomawo, tomorrow will come to the palace"
"Nde, don't be moody anymore. Your gloomy face is so ugly hahaha"
"You're a bitch"
"Haha"
The palace's.
Consort Chang came alone because both the empress and Eunji had their own activities, Consort Chang delivered for Suzy's medicine and brought her a variety of fresh fruit as well.
"How are you today?" concubine Chang asked, who today came alone to bring fresh fruits to Suzy who painted in Myungsoo's reading room.
"Good concubine Chang, even though I haven't been allowed anywhere by Myungsoo like house arrest" Suzy replied with a bored face.
"It's for your own good, too, Zy, you know. I once lost my daughter when I was first pregnant, I slipped near a fish pond when I wanted to feed her, but after waiting 3 years later I became pregnant with Alex. Don't be sad, losing this time doesn't mean you won't get pregnant again. God just hasn't allowed you to take care of a child because you're young so it might need some adaptation"
"Nde, I'm just sad for disappointing Myungsoo and the glorious king😞"
"It's okay. You want to join me in preparing for the new year's party with me and the others next week?"
"Can? I want but... 😞" said Suzy enthusiastically then moody again.
"Waeyo Zy?"
"Is Myungsoo going to let me go with you, Chang said. He alone did not allow me to go out for some fresh air other than to the front of pavilion😔"
"I'll say it. Ok! Don't be sad anymore"
"Kamsa hamnida concubine Chang" Suzy said happily.
"Nde, don't hesitate. I'll go first, take your medicine and get some rest"
"okay"

This morning Suzy had gone along with Eunji to decorate the front hall and courtyard in preparation for the new year's feast to be celebrated in the palace. Sohee came along with Seungho to take a look.
"Hey pregnant women just sit down, do not come decorate later you are tired" said Eunji approached Sohee and Seungho, then led her aside to sit on a chair.
"I want to decorate too" said Sohee Manyun.
"Look the baby in your belly is almost out, where might I endanger you"
"Yes, you're here. I'll help Suzy decorate the top" Seungho said.
"Sister, let's hurry" said Suzy who decorated the top with a series of flowers and other accessories using the stairs.
"Nde, I will help to get it done quickly" said Seunho immediately used his silat style to help Suzy install accessories on the top. While others decorate the outside of the hall.
After several hours of work, Eunji told the ladies to come out and rest. While concubine Chang orders Eunji to take Suzy, Seungho and Sohee to lunch together. They chose to eat in the Myungsoo pavilion.
"Sohee, why haven't you been to the palace for so long. Miss you? Righten Eunji" asked Suzy enthusiastically.
"Nde, we even always ask Sungjong every time he comes to the palace, until he gets bored" Eunji added.
"I'm still not feeling well so I just went to the palace today, my stomach is often cramped" Sohee replied.
"That's because you're already pregnant, it's natural to have cramps"
Myungsoo came and immediately approached those in the dining room.
"You all gathered here?"
"Eat Myung" Seungho bargained.
"I've eaten with the others in the government, I came home wanting to take some work. But seeing you guys I say hello for a moment" said Myungsoo who was standing next to Suzy. "Do you feel better, Zy?" he continued while stroking Suzy's forehead.
"Hmmm. I'm so good Myung, finally able to breathe free air again" said Suzy smiled freely as she turned to look at Myungsoo.
"Goodoo. I'll go again then. You go on" said Myungsoo who then left again.
"Be careful" said Suzy and the others but only returned a wave of hands.

New year celebration party.
All the palace families, officials and invited guests of the king had gathered in the halls and courtyards that had been neatly decorated.
Entertainment also continues to be presented ranging from dancing, singing and music games that entertain all.
"Where's Suzy? Alex too?" sungjong asks when he realizes that Suzy and Alex are not there yet.
"So Suzy said changing clothes because of drinking water spills, Alex has not been around since. Probably still in his room" Sohee replied.
"Alex must still be busy with the idea of ignorance, such as not knowing Alex's only pranks you guys, last year he disguised himself as a music player from China until he ended up punished by concubine Chang" kyuhyun said holding back a laugh like he knew something.
"And indeed Alex made a lot of noise with all his mess. Make the original music player upset stomach to come when the fireworks are almost lit. Indeed the game Alex is good, only dear pranks it really makes others pity" said Sungjong.
"See that. Suzy and Alex seem to dance there with other dancers, wow Myung you're not jealous hihi" teased Miura while giggling.
"Aish, what are you talking about? Don't make a riot" Myungsoo retorted his gaze in the other direction.
"Look at your daughter-in-law, how could she dance so affectionately with her sister-in-law. What kind of woman is she" grumbled the queen mother.
"Please be merciful, maybe they were unintentionally. You know exactly what my son's delinquency is like" said concubine Chang.
"But why Suzy as Myungsoo's wife followed suit, she always made a troublemaker. She's a candidate for crown princess how can she be careless even giving birth to a child just not a sissy"
"Mommy forget about yesterday's problems, Suzy is still very young miscarriages natural for her age. Don't extend it any longer, they're just entertaining there's no way Alex will snatch Suzy from Myungsoo. Please calm down" said the empress.
"True, Suzy is Alex's female version of troublemakers. It made the palace color. Queen Mother don't worry, I'm sure Alex just thinks Suzy's a big sister."
"Whatever"
Sohee felt all wrong, she clasped Sungjong's hand tightly but Sungjong stared as if saying everything would be fine.
Everyone again enjoyed the dance for the sake of existing dance, singing and traditional music games. As the clock approaches 10pm, Suzy and Alex fly upward toward King Hwanhee and the others gather. I don't know where they brought a bucket of roses in their hands.
Alex distributed the roses to the palace officials and the family of officials who came, while Suzy distributed the roses to the entire family of the palace in attendance.
"It's for the noble, it's for the queen, it's for the empress, it's for the chang concubine, it's for kyuhyun's sister, it's for Miura eonni, it's for Sohee and it's for Sungjong" suzy shared flowers one by one with the family present.
"Where for me?" myungsoo held his hand.
"Of course there is, tara" said Suzy giving white roses to Myungsoo.
"Why is it different for me? Everyone getting red?"
"That's because you're different 😄 where maybe I give you the same for others, because you have a special place in my heart" said Suzy who immediately hugged Myungsoo.
"Eunji, this is for you" said Seungho who had just stood before Eunji with a pink rose, Eunji timidly accepted.
"Gomavo"
"Nde"
"Where did you get this idea suzy, just this time it's a new year's party we're all given flowers" asked king Hwanhee.
"I had an idea when I saw the roses behind the palace blooming, and then I asked the palace attendants to help pick them. Counting to enliven the flowers will not be used😀 when I want to bring here Alex instead invites dancing and singing finally approached the new lantern party I share"
"It's okay son, thanks for comforting us"
"of course. I always provide entertainment every new year" said Alex arrogantly who immediately pinched his mother.
"Oh, mom's sick"
"See who speaks so impolitely"
"Still right mom, I always give unique entertainment at the end of the year"
"Newly this time our little prince is providing the right entertainment, last year even the original dancers and singers had to go in and out of the bathroom due to Alex's magic potion" the empress said with a smile.
"Hehe"
"That's because the king is too pampering this brat empress, so she's getting naughty" grumbled concubine Chang.
"Here you go, let's enjoy this party. It's midnight soon. It's time we saw the lanterns fly, and we lit the fireworks"
Lanterns begin to be lit and flown, as well as fireworks that begin to fly in the sky after being lit. Everyone is happy to welcome the new.
🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
New Year's party is over, Suzy stands in the park beside the fish pond while daydreaming. He looked deep into his heart, he had tried not to think about what he had experienced lately but did not want to disappear from his brain.
"When I was not ready to have it, but why my heart still hurts when I remember that went from my stomach aish I am indeed careless even pregnant just do not know" suzy said while pacing back and forth indistinctly while holding her stomach.
"What are you doing here, it's night. The party had been over since an hour ago" asked Myungsoo who appeared behind Suzy and hugged her, it made Suzy so upset with shock.
"I'm waiting for Alex, why? I want to go on a date with her." said Suzy thrashed in Myungsoo's arms.
"You're so fierce how could Alex want to be with a fierce lady like you hahaha"
"If you know why ask? Just piss off"
"It's late, let's go home and rest I know you've been busy preparing for the party since yesterday. It's not good to daydream here tell me if you have a problem"
"Aniya, let's go home. I think I'm sleepy right now" Suzy said, pretending to yawn.
"Jja" said Myungsoo immediately took Suzy home to the pavilion they lived in.
"Mianhae Myung" said Suzy in her heart who now walks side by side with Myungsoo.
"I know you're hiding something that's hard for me to share." Myungsoo's inner self kept holding Suzy's hand tightly.

At midnight, however, Seungho and Eunji still enjoy their date under the moonlight that lights their way.
"Seungho, can't you stay here any longer. Suzy still needs you and me too"
"I'd love to marry you and settle down here soon, but I still have a lot to take care of. There's a clue to the death of my parents who were murdered and I have to go to Daegu to find out. I'm sorry Eunji"
"Can't you move in here and forget about killing your parents even though I know it's not fair but it's been a long time, you can work in the palace. I'll ask what you do for a job"
"I'm sorry, but this concerns my parents and I won't let their killers live a good life. I'll marry you if this is all over and I find the killer."
"alright. I will be faithfully waiting for you"
"Gomawo, I love you so much. But I have to finish this first"
"Nde, be careful when you're away from us. I don't want you to be all right when you're away from me"
"Hm. You take good care of yourself here too. Let me drive you home before I go back to Sungjong's house"
Seungho escorted Eunji to the gate of the queen mother's pavilion, then went home to Sungjong's house.
When going to his room Eunji reprimanded the queen mother who sat in the guest room with her dress while enjoying her tea.
"You're in love with Suzy's sister? Is this a conspiracy that benefits you"
"Ah, respect Eunji to mama. Sorry mama We've known long before I knew if my lover was Suzy's sister. I did not commit any noble conspiracy" Eunji said, bowing his head.
"Good, if you do anything that makes me angry. I will do what makes you sorry. Now you can go get some rest" said the queen mother, playing her fingers.
"Nde mama, I'm sorry to rest" said Eunji who immediately entered his room.
