The Examination of Love for a Princess
Chapter 4's
"Sister" / "Sir Seungho" Suzy and Sohee said together.
"Sister" said Eunji in shock did not think that his lover was the brother of his best friend.
"Suzy, Sohee" said Seunghoo who immediately hugged the two. Suzy cried hugging her brother and Soheepun also glazed over Seunghoo's arms. "I'm sorry"
"Hiks... My sister misses you, why are you evil leaving me" Suzy said in tears as she beat up Seunghoo.
"Nde, I'm evil. I'm sorry"
"It has. Let's sit down first" said Eunji, leading them to sit down and enjoy the dish that just came. Seunghoo lets go of his embrace and takes Suzy and Sohee to sit down. They enjoy their food available at the table while chatting.
"I still don't understand. You two brothers" asked Eunji who is still confused if the lover Seungho has a sister who is in the palace.
"The story is long Eunji. Next time I'll tell you" replied Seunghoo.
"All right"
"Sister, where have you been all this time. I couldn't even find you while looking for my old uncle's house" Suzy asked.
"A month after I joined my uncle, my uncle took me to Sokcho to go home to his wife's hometown and garden there. Long time there I ventured to seek knowledge and learn martial arts to and fro. When I was in the heart of the sword race I met Eunji, I was in love and I didn't know how to get me to meet you"
"Goodoo. Don't go again, I miss you so much"
"I promise I won't leave you again."
"They're now the princess of Seungho's court?"
"really?"
"Nde sister. Sohee's father was king Kim Hwanhee and Sohee took me there, until I was made the king's adopted son today"
"Good because you're safe now. I also still often ventured into sword competition. If you miss just send a letter to the owner of this store. He'll give me a message. Next time I'll thank the king for making my brother an adopted son"
"Nde, brother also take care of himself during the journey"
"Hmmm. How's Kim's mom doing now?"
"He died about 3 years ago from illness. The doctor said she had a rare disease whose cure was still missing"
"I'm so sad. Now you're safe in the palace. I'll be in Seoul a lot to see you guys"
"Hm. Be careful"
The next morning, the,
Today is Sunday, the three even woke up late because they were busy chatting and came home at 3 am to make the club ladies. Because they should have arrived at 10 o'clock but molor up to several hours, and it makes all the misery until the ladies fell asleep in the guest room because they waited for the three who did not come home. Fortunately the queen mother or empress did not come to look around, only Miura who came to deliver some new clothes to wear when the festival entered winter.
# flashback when you go home
"Ckck watched them fall asleep waiting for us" Suzy said as she watched Jia, Jiyeon, Hyemi and Chaekyung fall asleep in the living room.
"Don't wake. Just let them rest. They work hard for us every day" Sohee added.
"Hmmm...."
"Jja sleeps, hopefully no one will come" Suzy said again as she removed her headband.
"Something seems to be coming. Look there's some clothes for you. I hope it's not Choi's queen mother or lady-in-waiting while I'm away with you guys, if they you can be in danger" Eunji said.
"But take it easy, I'll tell the queen tomorrow that you're coming with me to visit my relatives. So it's sorted out"
"All right, it's up to you, Eunji. If we sleep, my eyes are sticky like getting the eagle glue"
"Jja we sleep in Suzy's room only, because it is faster affordable place" said Sohee pulled the hand of Suzy and Eunji.
After changing clothes and hiding all the clothes used earlier, the three went to sleep soundly.
The sun had started to rise from his resting place, but Suzy, the, Sohee and Eunji are still enjoying their slumber in Suzy's room because they are lazy to Sohee's room due to their tired and sleepy bodies.
"Kyung-ah how to wake the three of them" Jia told Chaekyung.
"I don't know either. I'm afraid they're angry. Looks like they came home early" Chaekyung replied.
"How about we just open all the windows. Maybe the fresh air and light could make them wake up immediately. It's 9 o'clock and soon princess Miura will come here to pick them up like she said last night. Well how is this?" hyemi.
"You're right Hye. Let's open the windows and the curtains? Maybe with fresh air and light they can wake up"
"You're right, let's do it"
The four maids immediately rushed to open the windows and curtains of Suzy's room so that the light began to enter and fresh air also began to enter changed with the previous air. Sohee and Eunji opened their eyes.
"They're up"
"Hoaam. What time is it?" sohee said paying attention to the clock in the corner of the room. "Omo's 9 o'clock"
"Why have you not woken us since morning" Eunji said to the three ladies-in-waiting standing next to the door.
"Sorry Miss Eunji, we're not good because you guys came home so late. This we woke up because soon Princess Miura will be here to pick you up to attend the event with the daughters of the palace officials" Jia said as she lowered her head.
"Aish"
"Yaaa Suzy woke up quickly. It's noon" said Sohee wagging Suzy's shoulder, who pulled another blanket over her eyes.
"Let me sleep in 5 minutes. I'm still sleepy Sohee anyway this week so we're free" Suzy said with her eyes closed.
"We've got Zy's show with Miura's daughter, let's get up don't go on sleeping"
"Hmmm"
"Ish come"
"Hoaam" said Suzy who immediately sat lazily with reluctant eyes open.
"Wake up" Sohee said, annoyed, while Eunji had gone into the bathroom.
"Yes, you're a baffle. Take a shower and I'll be ready"
At exactly 10 o'clock Miura's daughter came to pick up Suzy and Sohee to attend a tea ceremony that was held for the princesses of the king, the daughter of the prime minister, to attend, the daughter of officials and the daughter of nobles in the palace area. The three (Suzy, Sohee and Eunji) were already sitting in the guest room knowing that Miura's daughter was coming, the lady-in-waiting had already told her in advance.
"Eoh anyeonghaseyo Suzy, Sohee and Eunji. You guys are ready to turn out" Miura said as she entered the residence of Suzy and Sohee.
"Anyeong Miura's daughter" replied the three.
"Call eonni or brother only when there is only us" Miura said with a smile.
"Can?" ask Suzy enthusiastically.
"of course. Ever since I saw you guys for the first time I knew that I would like you guys. Not like them"
"Why are they eonni?" kali Sohee asked out of curiosity.
"Later see for yourself. Jja left" said Miura invite them to hurry.
"How about Eunji if he can come with us"
"Yaaa Bae Suzy what are you saying. I'm a ladyboy here. Don't talk carelessly I'll go back to the house of the queen mother" Eunji's sergeant glared at Suzy so as not to talk carelessly.
"I'm just asking? Why are you mad at Eunji"
"Emmmmm I don't think the Queen Mother would mind if Miss Eunji would come with us. She's like a granddaughter of a queen mother. Jja"
They went to the tea room. There are so many people gathered because the clock has shown at 10 o'clock.
"Anyeong princess Miura, daughter Sohee, daughter Suzy and Miss Eunji, respect all of us to you" said all the guests who noticed Miura's presence.
"Nde, your respect is welcome. Please enjoy today's banquet"
"Well, just for a tea banquet, what should this be. Why there should be a tea banquet" asked Suzy when looking at the decorations and dishes.
"I don't know why there is? When I first came here I was invited by the empress I was also surprised especially this is only for women. He just told us to get close but that's it? Eh I went there first to meet the son of the palace doctor you guys around is fine but not far away. Enjoy the tea party" said Miura pamit who then went down to leave the palace hall that has many people.
"A boring way" Suzy grumbled.
"Be quiet. Enjoy the party and drink tea alone it can make relax. Shall I get it?" sohee offers Suzy.
"Aniya's. I don't want a drink yet. Just you and Eunji"
"I will." said Eunji who looked at the pool under the palace hall they occupied.
Not far from where the three of them were, there was a swarm of arrogant noble princesses who were rumored about the palace.
"Heh look at the two princesses who are with princess Eunji in the corner" said one of the noble daughters with her group.
"Nde, Waeyo? You know them" the others replied.
"Aniya, I where level know village girls like them. According to what I heard that princess Sohee was the princess who was taken away by the third concubine of the palace, the concubine who was expelled on charges of cheating"
"really? What yes diistana can be like there is an affair, is not the palace very tight"
"Try you think, if it is not cheating why should you also run away from this magnificent palace with all the luxuries that exist? Perhaps the child produced is the child of the result of infidelity right"
"Look at them. From the village brought to the palace by the yangmulia. I suspect they are not noble daughters. Moreover, they have long been out of the way they can cheat to gain the advantage of the palace by pretending to be the son of a palace concubine ckck ."
"The noble daughter is Sohee if Suzy is the adopted son of the third concubine, and the noble raised her also as a child. My father thinks so"
"Even they don't deserve the palace. I'm afraid Prince Myungsoo will be forced by the king's adopted son"
"How unfortunate is the fate of our prince"
Suzy had clenched her hands to beat the mouths of the horde, but Sohee held tightly to Suzy's hand as if channeling the power that she was okay and not good at fighting at the palace banquet.
"If his mother had just been so, he would have been in the palace later too. Will not the fruit not fall far from the tree, he diistana certainly intend to benefit. Besides being able to get rich people, high dignity and also the opportunity to become a princess. I'll tell you about the office children who will be married to them"
"You're right Min ah's daughter, the villager dreams of becoming a princess. Later in the end he will also be kicked out of the palace just like his mother hahaha"
"For that ugly duckling who dreams of becoming a goose"
"Or cinderella is more suitable. Poor girl becomes prince haha's wife"
Suzy who could not bear to immediately refuse Sohee's hand, she just went to the horde of noble princesses who talked about it.
"If you don't know what's going on, shut up. You're just spoiled princesses who usually complain about gossiping no-no"
"Oh, someone is angry. Wh why? Aren't we right? That Sohee's daughter's mother was a liar who was expelled for cheating"
"You..."
"Zy, already. Let them talk as they please"
"Look at your brother even knew his mother's rottenness so he couldn't deny it. Why do you want to defend and be taken care of by a liar Bae Suzy"
"Mother Kim wasn't like that"
Plaque...
Plaque...
Suzy slaps hard the girl named Shin Min ah. Min ah who does not accept trying to repay Suzy by grabbing her hair until Suzy's hair is messy, and Suzy also does it. All just being a spectator saw the action of the quarrel that occurred. Only Sohee and Eunji were frantically trying to separate the two fighting humans.
"Suzy-ah let go of Min ah's daughter. He's been lousy. He almost fainted"
Suzy continued to grab and slap Min ah, while Min ah still grabbed Suzy firmly even though her body was weak. Others just become spectators.
"Yes, why are you quiet. Quickly help separate them" ordered Miura who just came and saw Suzy's fight with Min ah.
The maids and bodyguards and their friends helped to separate. Because basically Suzy can be martial so who tried to separate along slammed, there are those who fell hit the floor, so there are those who fall, some fell to the pole and some even hit the table to make the food fall all to the floor.
"What's this noisily" the Queen Mother's voice stopped everything. Suzy who heard the voice immediately stopped. He stood not far from the commotion, he came with empress and concubine Chang to see the tea banquet of the noble princesses that was indeed held once a month to tighten the fabric of the palace family. "Gosh, Suzy's daughter what are you doing" the Empress said as she realized the fight.
"Yangmulia, Suzy's daughter attacked Min ah's daughter when Min ah's daughter was just joking" said one of Min ah's friends.
"He started the noble first." exclaimed Suzy did not accept.
"Silent. You were wrong about killing people still denied" the Queen Mother snapped that high emotions saw Suzy.
"But..."
"Bracket bodyguard he's imprisoned underground. Don't let her out until I report this to the noble" the queen mother's orders to the guards who had been guarding the pavilion.
"Yangmulia don't take Suzy, I beg you" Sohee pleaded.
"It's my decision. You guys take princess Min ah to the palace doctor. Princess Miura brought Sohee back to her residence. Eunji you help the ladies get this done. The others disbanded"
"Nde, mom"
All tried to hurry up after getting an order from the noble mother of the queen.
"Prince Alex what are you doing in this outfit" said Consort Chang, who noticed something was different from one of the ladies. Alex who had since lowered his head because his fake hair was released only grinned when his mother was aware of him. "Hehehe anyeonghaseyo mother, empress and noble queen" said Alex who soon woke up from his seat.
"Hmm anyeong mother, anyeong yangmulia"
"What are you doing here. You said you wanted a vacation to your uncle's house in Gangnam. You lied to mom?"
"Aniya mother. I was so intent but once I got there uncle wasn't there so I decided to go home. Rather than me getting bored so I'm playing around with being a palace ladyboy and trying to play them."
"Bad kid. We all worry and miss you but you play around without us noticing" said concubine Chang, who was anxious, then grabbed her by the ear and took her son away.
"Let me bring my naughty son this mama"
"Nde"
"Please. This mother is sick. My ears could break. Empress, the queen's mother help me" cried Alex who made the person still there laugh.
"Let's mama" said the empress, who invited the queen to walk in front of her to descend the pavilion steps.
"Alex is different from his other brothers. His noble humorous nature seemed to be declining to him. Kyuhyun and Myungsoo are not even like him."
"Nde, king Hwanhee was humorous since childhood even his presence made all laugh at that time. But I was worried because of that, how will he become a king if his nature is like that but slowly the sea finally he can become a wise king in leading the people"
"Nde mom. The king was wise and fair. I hope later Myungsoo can also be fair and wise in running the palace like him"
"Suzy's problem is, please, you make it so that she and Sohee can be knocked out and go back to her house just like her mother, I already had a bad feeling when she brought them home. The king will listen to you"
"I will carry out your command as best I can."
"I don't want my fear to happen? Oh god please protect the palace family"
"What fears do you have that your mom is afraid of?"
"I once dreamed that the girl would become Myungsoo's wife and make Myungsoo leave the palace, my fear grew even more when Kyuhyun said that Myungsoo might be interested in the girl"
"Don't worry mama. That won't happen because Suzy is just an ordinary girl where maybe Myungsoo likes her. Myungsoo had been selective all along so he definitely picked the woman who was really right for him"
"I hope so empress"

Sohee continues to weep for Suzy, who is currently locked up in a dark and cold underground prison. Miura and her ladies and gentlemen were confused to calm Sohee who continued to cry.
Kyuhyun even who got word of the fight instantly came looking for his wife. She is not alone but comes with Myungsoo and Sungjong.
"What's really going on? How could it be like this" Myungsoo asked Sohee and Miura, but Sohee just cried without answering.
"I don't know either. I was seeing the son of the palace doctor who talked about Hyura's health" Miura replied regretfully.
"Then Eunji? Where is he now"
"He still cleaned up the mess in the Myung Pavilion. Later in the afternoon we'll talk about it"
"What if Suzy is severely punished... Huhuhoo.... I was so scared" said Sohee who was still crying in Miura's arms.
"Calm Sohee. We will try to help save Suzy from getting out of jail" Sungjong said, wiping her back.
"The queen mother will definitely get rid of Suzy, because the queen mother did not like Suzy and Sohee from the beginning. Not that Sohee was safe here." Kyuhyun predicted that he had been silent and thoughtful.
"Kyuhyun-a do something to save them. You work in the law department can do this easily"
"It's not that easy, baby. Let's see first what our grandmother will do then we can step up? If we misstep Suzy could be threatened"
"Then you'll let Suzy stay longer. Come on, honey, you must know the ugly nature of the Queen when you don't like someone, don't you" forced Miura again.
"Aish, you don't argue. Let's think of a way to get Suzy free. He must be cold there" said Myungsoo pacing back and forth looking for an idea.
"It's a shame to talk and talk to the queen mother, Myung you talk to Eunji to find out the truth. And Sungjong's with Sohee."
"Then you're Hyung?"
"I will do something that can be used if Suzy's defense is opposed by the queen mother"
"alright. Let's go soon"
Then all split with the task that Kyuhyun had given. While Suzy only lamented fate in a cold, quiet and stuffy prison because it is located underground.
"Huft. Kim's mother forgive me. If I'm not emotional, I'm still beside Sohee, I can still protect her, but I also can't accept that you're underestimated like that in the palace. I feel that all is not true, there must be someone who slanders you until you are accused of cheating" Suzy said to herself.
The Queen Mother Pavilion
Miura came to the queen mother where the queen mother was enjoying tea with the empress and concubine Chang. Miura sat down to join them. "You've come daughter Miura, just now I'm going to ask concubine Chang to come see me. What's up until you come first?" ask the housewife when Miura is sitting down.
"I want to apologize mama. Because the mess happened due to my negligence, I feel very guilty for this" Miura replied politely.
"It's not your fault, princess. That girl alone has no manners towards guests"
"But directly punishing just like that is also not good mama. Because we don't know the chronology yet"
"Miura is right mama, whether we should not gather some people for questioning first" suggested concubine Chang.
"But attacking the daughter of the prime minister also did not allow concubine Chang, this could damage the image of the palace" now the empress interjected.
"I'm thinking about Mom. It's my fault for leaving them with Miss Eunji"
"Go calm your mind. We'll talk about it again"
"Nde mama"
Miura left with a little annoyed because it was right her husband said if the queen mother intended to eject Suzy.
Palace garden, next to the palace library. Myungsoo chatted with Eunji, he was assigned to find out what was going on.
"Myungsoo" Eunji ran over to Myungsoo who was sitting by the fish pond while feeding the koi fish that lived in the pond.
"Sorry Myung, I'm a bit old. I'm looking for a reason to get here soon"
"No problem"
"What's looking for me? Is this about what happened last afternoon"
"Hmmm. How is it really? Sohee just cried when asked, she didn't give us any answers"
"So Shin Min ah the prime minister's son insulted the third concubine of liars along with his friends, saying that we all do not know either. Then insult Sohee as well Suzy. Sohee had grasped Suzy tightly so as not to get emotional and fight back, but they started again and weakened, considering Sohee and Suzy a con artist who only used the palace family for profit."
"It's not like that."
"Right, then how's Sohee? Who's accompanying him?"
"So Kyuhyun hyung asked us to split the task. I was told to see you, what he was going to do to help Suzy. Miura noona met the queen mother to persuade her even though we knew it was impossible because the queen mother didn't like her"
"True, hopefully Kyuhyun oppa can find a way to get Suzy out, because she was already like a brother to me when we first met"
"Hmmmmm"
"You rest Myung, but if you want to see Suzy first is fine. I'll meet Sohee first before returning to the house of the queen mother to see the situation."
"Nde keep an eye on what the Queen's mother is doing, then report it to us quietly"
"Nde"
Myungsoo rushes to see Suzy who is being held underground for a while, after having the guards bring Myungsoo food home to his residence for a bath and rest, while Eunji goes to Sohee's residence to see her where all Sohee does is cry with Sungjong.
"Sohee don't cry constantly, you have to eat nde to be powerful" said Eunji who saw there was food they had not touched.
"How can I eat if my brother's in there cold huhuhu hiks"
"Pacify yourself Sohee. Eat tomorrow I'll take you to see Suzy, I promise. And I'll persuade the queen mother"
"really?"
"I promise, now eat"
"Okay, I'll eat first. But how's Suzy? She must not have eaten"
"I've asked Myungsoo to keep Suzy from starving in the underground. So eat it"

Eunji entered her resting room which was behind the house of the queen mother, Eunji was surprised when the queen mother was sitting in the guest room of her room.
"Anyeonghaseyo, salute me to you who is the noble mother of the queen"
"Nde, sit. I have something to say"
"Nde mama" said Eunji who immediately sat beside the queen mother.
"I want to ask you to shut up when the noble king asks about the past. I don't want the two of them to survive the punishment, I want them both to leave the palace immediately" the queen mother said directly at the heart of the matter.
"But mama, I'm afraid to be a liar mama. This is not true" Eunji said trying to straighten out.
"According to my orders or your family instead. You know I hate their hypocritical mothers as much as their children, but the noble ones love them so much. Do you understand" threatened the queen mother who made Eunji finally resigned.
"Nde mama"
