The Examination of Love for a Princess
Chapter 2's
Early in the morning the ladies were excited because after Suzy was decorated and had breakfast with Sohee, she disappeared without saying goodbye to anyone. Whereas Jia and Chaekyung only went out for a while to bring Suzy's dirty clothes to the loundry palace.
"Jiyeon is Princess Suzy here?" jia asked frantically at Jiyeon who was in Sohee's room.
"Aniya Jia, Sohee's princess has been alone in the room ever since. What was? Something happened" Jiyeon replied. Curious.
Sohee who heard the panic of Suzy's maids in front of her room immediately came over. "What's wrong? Did Suzy make trouble?" ask Sohee.
"Daughter Suzy's master disappeared princess Sohee, we're trying to find her" Chaekyung replied nervously.
"How come? Wasn't it after breakfast you were in the room with him"
"In fact, it was with us, but princess Suzy suddenly said goodbye to the bathroom and so we went to the loundri palace for a while to bring dirty clothes to be washed immediately , but by the time we got back, Princess Suzy was gone. The bodyguard in front also didn't see him go anywhere"
"Jeez Bae Suzy, ish always troublemaking. How much time do we have to study in the palace library with the prince and miss Eunji?"
"About less than an hour's left, princess"
"There's time to look for him. Let's split up and find him around here. Will you meet me in the library if you find him? I'll try to find him around here before going to the library"
"Good princess. Command is ready to be executed"
After everything disbanded and looking for Suzy who disappeared suddenly, Sohee continued to run around looking for Suzy because in addition to making trouble Suzy likes to take pictures of the scenery for her to paint when she can not sleep at night.
Suzy who sought them out in panic, but Suzy herself was busy playing in the garden surrounded by many flower plants that da around the fish pond not far from the palace where she lived. He selfies and photographs scenes that he may later be able to paint at night when he cannot sleep, Suzy continues to dance with butterflies flying around the park. Not far from him there are eyes that observe the behavior of Suzy, who else if open the Myungsoo prince. Since yesterday he has not met the two daughters that his father brought to the palace because yesterday he was busy with his activities in the palace government, he only saw from the photos shown by Sungjong who was stolen from his father.
"So she who is said to be hyung will make the palace crowded, it seems to be exciting even though she looks like a stupid girl. Why this early in the morning the stupid girl played in the park, like a lack of work alone should she have gone to study"
Myungsoo continued to observe Suzy who was not aware that behind her there was a queen mother who was watching her with an annoyed face ready to pounce on her, Myungsoo just watched while holding back laughter looking at the stupid behavior of Suzy in the palace.
"Daughter Suzy, what are you doing here?" the mother's reprimand loudly made Suzy turn around quickly to make her almost fall into a small pool behind her if only she did not keep her balance.
"Gosh, respect the noble" said Suzy softly as she bowed her head in shock rebuked suddenly.
"Hm. Answer my question what you're doing here in this jam, shouldn't you be studying in the palace library right now" the queen mother scolded with her face.
"Anu, your highness Aish. Well this is the story of the noble queen mother, I was lost when searching for the palace library. Because I accidentally saw a beautiful scene so I forgot about my straying here, and took some photos that I might be able to paint later that night when I can't sleep"
"You, instead of learning, are wandering and playing strange things. The empress quickly called Eunji or Sohee to pick her up here. And keep an eye on him, don't let him use his cell phone again for a month as punishment"
"What"/"Nde mama" said Suzy and the queen together.
Not yet had the empress contact Eunji or Sohee through her day, Sohee had already come to where they clashed with her irregular breath as chased by a bull.
"My respect to the noble queen mother and empress"
"Nde, respectfully accepted. Princess Sohee please take care of Princess Suzy so as not to do the palace again. This palace is not a tourist spot. How can you get lost instead of looking for a way but instead play here like you have no work padahl you should have overcome about the ordinance of being in the palace with prince Myungsoo"
"Nde mom. Please forgive Suzy if she says something rude, I'm sure it was done accidentally because we were used outside the palace so we don't really understand the rules in the palace, mianhe mama" said Sohee lowered her head without looking at the annoying face of the queen mother.
"Sohee why are you apologizing to her? I was just messing around for a while, I didn't do anything that harmed the palace" Suzy said.
"Suzy quickly apologized. Don't talk anymore" Sohee forced on Suzy.
"No want"
"Quickly"
"alright. Yangmulia Suzy's stepmother apologized if she made a mistake just now, even though I didn't feel like doing anything fatal but still forgive me"
"Please quickly take her away from me, before I get more upset and emotional"
"Nde mama, anyeong" said Sohee who immediately pulled Suzy followed by the ladyboy she was carrying earlier.
"Geez empress, what kind of daughter is she. Speak impolitely and look at his horseman-like behavior. Why did the noble king bring the village girl here as well? It can make me get old faster"
"Mama hope you are patient with Suzy's daughter, changing one's habits is not easy especially those who are accustomed to life into ordinary people mama. Princess Suzy is the only sister Sohee's daughter has had during her life in Daegu, so a noble king couldn't possibly not allow Sohee's daughter to bring her here let alone get used to being together all this time"
"Please ask concubine Chang to keep an eye on her, and find someone who can teach her manners if prince Myungsoo is unable to teach her. Jeez my head could break just looking at his behavior when this was only the day he came"
"Nde mom. I will carry out my orders Mama. Later I will visit concubine Chang and discuss this matter with her"
Suzy all the way to the palace library just grumbled nonstop, making her ladies-in-waiting smile without a sound.
"Oh my God, the old man looked at me very sharply, his eyes were like a hungry cat ready to eat me like I was an aish. I played for a while and took pictures of my old camera what's wrong? Don't we? Was he living in the stone age? I'm even banned from using my old camera kagi"
"Stop nagging Bae Suzy, you've been troublemaking today to make my heart and the ladies want to stop beating. "
"Don't overdo princess Sohee. I'm just taking a walk for a while to enjoy the scenery, why are you following the old grandma is angry anyway"
"You know. You made all your servants and I panicked to death because you disappeared from the room without saying goodbye after breakfast, you think your actions were right"
"Nde-nde Mianhae Sohee darling. I know I'm careless but I don't mean to worry you, really"
"Hmm yes already. Next time be careful do not troublemaker anymore diistana"
"Ready"
Eunji along with Myungsoo and Sungjong were waiting for the library, Myungsoo looked up sharply as Suzy and Sohee entered the room where many of the books they had prepared were spelled to study.
"Anyeong haseyo everyone, sorry for our delay, there was a small incident on the way to make us late" said Sohee bowed half her body.
"Are you guys undisciplined, we've almost half an hour waiting for you to come" Myungsoo said as if annoyed.
"If you don't intend to teach, just go there. We don't need your help either, we can learn on our own. Don't just because you're a prince and a future king so you can oppress a woman as you like" Suzy replied annoyed with Myungsoo's remark.
"Who is oppressive too, I'm talking about my time that you're wasting away"
"Have not quarreled, let Eunji do his duty" Sungjong's injury to the two humans who were fighting over a small matter.
"Previous please sit down. I will introduce myself personally because yesterday we have not greeted each other. I'm Jung Eunji you can call me Eunji and this is prince Myungsoo, he assigned king Kim Hwanhee and the court to teach you about the basic ordinances of speaking in the palace. And next to this is the prince's best friend, he named Lee Sungjong son of Secretary Lee Kwangsoo"
"Nde, anyeong haseyo prince, anyeong haseyo lord Lee Sungjong "
"Hem"/ "Anyeong haseyo princess"
"First please read the books in front of you, it's the initial procedure to enter the palace that you must learn. After you finish reading please memorize the contents and please explain again the contents open to us, so we know which ones you quickly understand and which ones are difficult to understand"
"Nde"
Suzy and Sohee began to read the book provided on their respective spelling, while Myungsoo and Sungjong were busy writing and reading the report they were carrying. Only Eunji notices Suzy and Sohee studying while reading a book, Sohee studied so calmly in contrast to Suzy who looked bored just turning back the book she read while breathing in the third book she read, which she read, whether he understands it or not, he knows ^_^. The ladies took turns bringing tea and snacks for them to enjoy while studying.
"Yaaaa what you can't keep quiet. The sound of your breathing is disturbing" Myungsoo snapped who was disturbed by Suzy's behavior to make the others surprised.
"If you don't like it, please go there. You're gonna have us read this many books in a day and have to memorize them, do you think our brains are magic that can memorize all of this for a second. Are you fucking us?" suzy replied to Myungsoo's words by glaring and standing up from her seat.
"I've even memorized everything in the book you're reading"
"That's because you've been here a long time, we've only been here 24 hours and you've been racking our brains like you're squeezing shrimp juice in a bucket"
"Zy. Don't fight and make a move again. You want to be punished again?" lerai Sohee pulls Suzy to sit back and continue their studies.
"If it's not a woman I've hit you!" myungsoo.
"What's? Hurry up if you dare. It's why if I'm a woman, you think I'm afraid of you. Just watch out for you! It sucks again I beat you up to not be able to breathe like a frog stepped on by an elephant" Suzy grumbled back to sit in annoyance.
Eunji, Sungjong and the ladies who stood guard outside just held their smiles. Only this time their master Myungsoo was denied, so far no one dared to fight Myungsoo's words that could be said to be true.
Sohee and Suzy began to learn again, only half-walk memorizing Suzy was bored until she yawned several times.
"Eunji-ssi can't take a break? I was like I was on sleeping pills" Suzy asked Eunji who was flipping through the books behind her.
"can't. Finish reading you can take a break" not Eunji's voice coming out but Myungsoo's annoying voice.
"Yeah I didn't ask you, dear young master?"
"I only answered according to the rules in the palace, princess Suzy"
"Isa... "
"Princess if the princess feels bored and sleepy, you can drink tea first so that it can be refreshed. I'll have the waiter bring you more tea" Eunji said before the fight broke out.
"Oh my God, Miss Eunji, look I've even spent cups of tea until bloated but my eyes still don't want to open properly like a panda's eyes in the cold season. Before getting refreshed my eyes will continue to be sleepy like this even my stomach is like a balloon that will explode due to finishing the tea served"
"Myung" called Sungjong who had just been quiet.
"What?"
"Let them take a break for lunch first, they must be tired of reading while memorizing so many books. They're still adapting if you get too excited about them learning, they get acute depression. It's 2 and 3 o'clock now you have an important schedule" Sungjong said.
"alright. You guys can rest. Remember tomorrow do not be late again" said Myungsoo firmly.
"Nde prince"
"Jja Sungjong we're going"
Myungsoo and Sungjong left the library. The only ones left are Eunji, Suzy and Sohee.
"Miss Eunji can we borrow these books to study again? We need time to learn to understand the contents of this book. If only a glance is inadequate" asked Sohee.
"certainly could. The servants will bring you to your residence" replied Eunji.
"Hamnida's kamsa"
"Sohee are you sure you want to learn this all by yourself?" suzy asked, scratching her non-itchy neck with a lazy face.
"There you are, it would be very easy if we both studied and took turns listening to each other. Studying with prince Myungsoo I felt bad for taking up his busy time"
"alright. You'll teach me until I can. I think my stupid brain makes me unworthy of being a bngsawan, being a frog in a palace pool just doesn't feel right"
Eunji smiles at Sohee and Suzy who get along very well but the words of Suzy who slips away makes it funny, different from the princess and son in the kingdom. They both seemed independent probably because they were used to facing the rigors of living outside the palace.
"I'll also help you memorize it until you can?"
"Nde, I'll tell the queen mother later to be allowed to help you"
"Let's be friends" Suzy said.
"Nde." asked Eunji surprised because only this time someone invited him to be friends.
"Yes, let's be friends. I don't think you're as arrogant as that annoying prince" Suzy continued with an adorable face.
"May, only this time someone invited me to be friends"
"Nde, then you can call my name without frills - miss or princess. How's it?"
"Agreed"
Myungsoo and Sungjong after leaving the palace library, Myungsoo continued to laugh until his stomach ached.
"You're too much Myung? Though you just came but as if you've been waiting for them a long time"
"You know, Suzy was scolded by the queen mother in the back garden near the koi pond, she was caught playing around in her study. Seeing her arguing with her stupid face in front of the queen mother made me have to hold back the laughter so as not to be caught. The palace will be crowded if he who is careless to make a tantrum"
"Hopefully the palace will be in color. I think Suzy will bring a new color because of her terrible talk"
"Right, I think the perfect, authoritarian queen mother has a hahaha opponent"
Nightfall.
In accordance with his promise,
Eunji helps Suzy and Sohee learn about basic manners in the palace family talk. While both of them read while memorizing their hands looking at the work created by Suzy and Sohee.
"It is forbidden to run better using walking slowly, do not shout using slow speech, aish why it is so complicated once diistana" Suzy grumbled as she continued reading her book while memorizing.
"Slow down. Later also get used to it if it has been palace" said Eunji while touching Suzy's palace painting.
"But Eunji, did you have to memorize all this" asked Sohee who turned her face to face Eunji.
"Hm. I also have to memorize the manner of a lady-in-waiting, otherwise we will be whipped and beaten" replied Eunji recalling her childhood when she was educated at school to be a lady-in-waiting.
"By the way, how long have you been working here?"
"I entered the palace when I was my age
10 Years, I was brought here by my mother who worked here as a maid in the palace, and my father was also a guard at the prime minister. I'm here from childhood"
"Are you not tired of serving the palace family. Why not find a job outside. It's even boring here?"
"My family has been serving here for generations, so I also want to serve the royal family especially the noble one is a very good king"
"Zy, don't keep asking. Let's continue learning" said Sohee who was upset with Suzy who asked continuously but did not immediately start learning.
"OK I try to read while memorizing it, don't laugh if it's wrong."
"Nde. Quickly start I want to hear"

God, it's hard to read and memorize all these old sayings, I'm like a stupid buffalo who was forced to drink poison" said Suzy, putting her face on the book she just read.
"Where's Zy, the buffalo can tell he's been poisoned?" said Eunji while stumbling.
"Suzy used to use nonsensical words. So do not be surprised later if the speech is slurred"
"It's okay. He's funny! Now continue learning. I will listen while looking at your unique work" Eunji said as he looked at Suzy's paintings and saw Sohee's knit work being snapped next to the table to study Suzy and Sohee.

Suzy and Sohee have been in the palace for a week, and now they are sitting at the park when Suzy gets lost and meets the queen mother. Sohee played with the flowers sitting on the edge of the pond while Suzy sat daydreaming just looking at the koi fish who were joking in the pond.
"Somali"
"Hmmmmm. What's up, Zy?"
"I miss my brother. Doesn't he miss me? We separated when my mother died. He would rather go with Uncle Seo and leave me with Kim's mother and you, if it's been 15 years since we met. He must be very brave now"
"True, Seungho's brother must have grown up and been dashing. She must have missed you too Zy. It's just a long way away"
"yes too. How do I find him?"
"Many prayers. If fate has determined you to meet then you will meet soon"
"Hopefully we'll meet again soon"
"Nde, I miss him too"
"Here afternoon let's go home, if the witch saw us relaxed she would be angry indistinct"
"You're right, the queen mother is like a woman lacking a picnic"
"Talking about others is a sin" said one who stood behind the two of them, making the two nervously turn their heads.
"Jeez Sungjong, I was really surprised. I thought you were the king" Sohee said breathing a sigh of relief.
"Haha. Where could the king play here for this afternoon. This afternoon
Yangmulia prefers the view of the fish pond in front of the palace residence of the queen mother while enjoying afternoon tea, maybe talking to the queen or the chang concubine" said Sungjong who sat next to Sohee.
"Oooooo-o... Sungjong, what are you doing is being hacked like this alone. Aren't you always with Myungsoo?"
"Not always. We work in different departments. I'm the defense that takes care of the palace soldiers. If Myungsoo is because he's a future king so he's in the palace government department just like Kyuhyun hyung just hyung is more into the law, he's the judge of the palace."
"I don't really understand what you're saying Sungjong. Jeez, my snail brain is crumpled up again very slowly" said Suzy as she snapped her own head, which made Sungjong laugh.
"In the palace all the members of the family will be given their respective duties if it is time, and it will be determined where they work. Like Kyuhyun hyung she was in the legal department, Myungsoo in the government department, I was in defense even though sometimes helped Myungsoo in the government, Miura's daughter in the food and agriculture department supervised by the empress and concubine Chang. The king as the full leader who holds the officials of the leaders of each department while the queen of his advisors even though I am not suitable with him. I work on the defense myself"
"God, it's dizzying to be part of the palace"
"If you are trained and educated, you will also be given the confidence to work in the palace department. So you learn really"
"Nde"
