The Examination of Love for a Princess
Chapter 8's
Early in the morning all the palace families had gathered in the front palace hall (consider me aja rich living room) to welcome the arrival of the official Hwang and his daughter Hwang Sinbi who will stay in the palace some time. Only Kyuhyun and Myungsoo were absent due to state duties outside the city.
"Why also early in the morning we must also gather to welcome the arrival of the official's children, whether there are not enough kings, hemursi, empresses and myungsoo concerned" suzy grumbled upset that her sleep show was interrupted on a sunny week.
"Hust, this is an order not to argue if you don't want to be punished" Sohee whispered as she pinched Suzy's waist.
"Aish hurts Sohee, why pinch me?" suzy said while stroking her waist.
"That's because you're nagging indistinctly from earlier"
Eunji who was sitting near them only smiled at a glance, before turning her head and said while glancing at Suzy.
"Suzy is probably in Sohee's jealous mode, because soon she'll get her rival" pleaded Eunji with a mocking smile.
"Yaaa Jung Eun...." Sohee moved quickly shut her mouth before speaking in the open and humiliating herself.
"Husts. You want to make a fuss early in the morning" whispered Sohee who closed Suzy's face tightly for fear Suzy made trouble with her screams, fortunately Sohee's movements were quick before all the members of the palace turned to Suzy's furore. Sungjong and Miura were only nodding their heads because they happened to be sitting not far away, while the others were sitting a bit far away so they did not hear Suzy's screams.
"Haaah, Yaa Sohee how much you shut my mouth" Suzy grumbled as her mouth was free from Sohee.
"If I don't shut up, your mouth will yell and say no"
"Look, Officer Hwang and his daughter have come" exclaimed Sungjong who made everyone stand straight closer to the main door.
"Welcome, Hwang officials and Sinbi's daughter, please come in" greeted by shaking the hand of Minister Hwang.
"Hamsa hamnida the glorious king at your invitation, it is an honor for me to have the opportunity to bring my daughter into the palace" said Hwang, who welcomed the Hwanhee kingship.
"It's just an experiment. If prince Myungsoo likes your daughter, then the wedding will be done soon" said king Hwanhee with a smile at minister Hwang and his daughter.
"Hopefully there's a match between the two of them"
"My hope is also so prime minister, but unfortunately Prince Myungsoo today is not welcome because there is a duty from the government and will be back in 3 days"
"Not what is noble, we can still meet another time to talk" Sinbi said softly.
"Consort Chang and concubine, please take princess Sinbi to rest at the residence that has been provided." the Queen Mother ordered.
"Well, what is noble is that we will execute orders"
"Others please disperse from the place, and continue their respective activities. The prime minister let's go to the noble office of the king there are things that want me and the king to negotiate" continued the queen mother invites king Hwanhee and minister Hwang to the king's office.
"Nde mama" replied simultaneously in the hall.
Jungle palace.
Sohee, Sungjong and Eunji had already sat down to enjoy the tea made by Eunji while chatting casually. Only Suzy seemed to lack the good mood due to painting the wrong continues and grumbling herself.
"Aaaa I'm sorry, why don't my pictures all be good. Aish" grumbled Suzy mumbled to herself.
"Suzy why? Since then he felt a bit strange" asked Sungjong Lirih.
"Somehow, maybe he's having an STD or maybe he's jealous" Sohee replied softly as well.
"Zy, rather than grumbling indistinctly. Drink this jasmine tea maybe it makes the rilex of fire jealous hihi" Eunji's seductive teat.
"Gomawo sister-in-law, but I'm not jealous just upset because my bed time is disturbed for a useless welcome and just like that" Suzy replied after holding the tea cup given by Eunji.
"What's jealous? Come on, Zy, you like Myungsoo too, right? I saw you guys kissing in the library"
"Yaaa Jung Eunji, here you are. I won't spare you" Suzy shouted loudly and chased after Eunji who had run out of the room. Sohee and Sunjong laughed at their behavior.

Empress and concubine Chang were currently enjoying afternoon tea with Miura, they were enjoying the twilight atmosphere that would welcome them to enjoy the moonlight field.
"Yangmulia empress and Consort Chang, may I speak? Sorry if my words are presumptuous" said Miura open the talk.
"What's the matter princess Miura? Did something happen that bothered your mind?" ask Empress.
"How noble, why did the noble empress, concubine Chang and the noble queen consort match prince Myungsoo with the daughter of the prime minister? Isn't there a daughter Suzy who can also be betrothed to Prince Myungsoo, especially she is also the third concubine's adopted daughter. Prince Myungsoo was a future king, wouldn't it be better if he married a commoner princess than a noble one. It could show a good image for the support of the people. Moreover, it seems like prince Myungsoo is interested in princess Suzy"
"Concubine Chang also made that suggestion to me, but you know for yourself how stubborn her noble mother was, right? She wanted the woman who became the wife of prince Myungsoo to be perfect and from among the nobility, who was graceful and did not humiliate the palace"
"Wouldn't Prince Myungsoo marry a non-noble commoner, then prince Myungsoo is considered capable of leading the palace without distinction caste. So the assumption that the Myungsoo prince is a palace-controlled doll is like a rumor that has been heard to be broken, after all, Prince Myungsoo with princess Suzy is close friends and looks interested in each other even if not directly. It's progress for prince Myungsoo"
"You're right my son, it's just that we can't resist the power of the queen mother's orders" Consort Chang said in a regretful look.
"If there's a chance I'll tell the Queen mother, I'm also less fond of Minister Hwang. If he's a besan istna I'm afraid it's just politics"
"I also suspect the noble that there are undisciplined parties who have spread this, to gain the sympathy of the people and bring down Prince Myungsoo. But they did not understand that the palace still had a prince Alex who could be made a candidate as a future king"
"The role of Alex would not agree if he was to be made the future king, daughter of Miura. He had always hoped that his brothers alone would be the kings to lead this country"
"It's just Concubine Chang's wish, don't worry so."
"Thank God hehe"
Suzy rode herself to the waterfall to study, she is today studying alone because all her friends have their own activities. Sohee who learned to arrange flowers for table and door decorations with Sinbi, Eunji who accompanied the queen mother talked about Sinbi and Myungsoo's matchmaking, and Sungjong who was busy training the guards who had entered the palace.
"It's boring, every day having to learn this is learning that a lot. Until when does this end oh god" Suzy grumbled as she held the book she had brought earlier.
"Until you can understand everything about the palace"
"Jeez, Kim Myungsoo you surprised me. What are you doing here? It's not like it's still noon you're back at the palace"
"It's done, so why are we lingering there. There is still a lot of work that I have to take care of" said Myungsoo who was sitting next to Suzy.
"Isn't that what I meant? What you're doing here, you're saying there's a lot of work to take care of but why you're here isn't going to the central palace where the king, the empress, the queen, the queen mother gather"
"Just want to see you? I was looking for you but Sohee said you often study here alone, because she's busy so I'm here. I miss you so much Zy, it feels so tight" said Myungsoo who just hugged Suzy, but just hugged Suzy for a while was bald to break away from Myungsoo's embrace.
"Hey you want to fool me, obviously your fiancee here can still say you want to see me and miss me. There go, meet your fiancee don't bother me to study" said Suzy pushed myungsoo's body that had hugged her, although Myungsoo was reluctant to let go.
"Zy, listen to me first"
"Go, I want to learn. If you don't want to go, I'll go" Suzy threatened Myungsoo with a sharp look.
"All right, but remember. I'll see you later. This is just a misunderstanding" said Myungsoo who left beside Suzy. Suzy kept quiet not to reply.
"It's wrong still evasive, making my mood learn just destroyed. I've said we are different still just as willing to force me to like it, now I already like it but the reality has broken my heart. I should avoid meeting him from this point on so as not to get too sick when I see Myungsoo getting married"
Myungsoo walked into Consort Chang's residence, but not to meet Consort Chang but to meet Hwang Sinbi who was occupying the residence behind Consort Chang's residence. Because lazy through the front door so Myungsoo through the back door alias through the residence of concubine Chang and his son Alex.
"Welcome prince Myungsoo, our respect to you" said the palace lady who was assigned to accompany Sinbi during the palace.
"Hmmm. Sincerely, I accept. Where's Hwang Sinbi's daughter?" myungsoo asked the two ladies.
"Please forgive the prince, Princess Sinbi is currently studying stringing together with princess Sohee. What do I want to call you?"
"Nde, please tell me I'm looking for him."
"good. Command is ready to be executed"
One of the maids went looking for Sinbi, while the other prepared tea to serve Myungsoo waiting for Sinbi.
A few minutes later Sinbi came with the lady who approached him earlier.
"Anyenghaseyo yangmulia, respect Sinbi to you"
"Nde, respectfully accept. Please sit down"
Sinbi sat in the seat beside Myungsoo, they were still silent for a while.
"Nde, my father asked me to come here to be a candidate for the prince's wife, if I am suitable to be a candidate then there will be a diistana wedding soon"
"good. You also know not if you will be educated and supervised within 1 to 3 months in the palace"
"Nde prince"
"If you mind, you don't have to continue this. Step back slowly before it's too late"
"No, I won't back down prince. I will try to be a suitable candidate to be the princess of this country and be with you"
"Although without my love. Are you going to continue?"
"........"
"Don't force yourself. But enjoy and comfort yourself during your stay at the palace, do not expect more" said Myungsoo moving towards the exit.
"I'll make you fall in love with me" Sinbi shouted as Myungsoo almost reached the door, Myungsoo paused for a moment without turning his head saying. "Just do as you please"
In the palace sewing room, the queen mother was choosing clothes and accessories to be given to Sinbi, Eunji faithfully accompanied the queen mother.
"Eunji, which do you think is good. Yellow or blue? Handbook clothes for Myungsoo and Sinbi's wedding later? I have to prepare from now on for that happy day." said the queen mother stroked some handbook clothes for the wedding that lined up neatly hung.
"I think blue is more suitable for mama, because there is a beautiful flower motif at the bottom of her dress" said Eunji who was always beside the queen mother.
"Your taste is good Eunji. I was worried that Shin Min's daughter's words were true. If Sohee's foster brother the troublemaker is intent on deceiving and ensnaring Myungsoo"
"Why does my mom think that? They look good mom and we're already friends"
"They are poor, surely they want the beauty of the palace. Be careful when you make friends with them. You could be used by them later, just like the kindness of Myungsoo which might later be used by entangling him to fall in love with the adopted son of concubine Kim"
"Please forgive me, if love has been anchored to two people then as far as others separate, they will remain united. If indeed they intend to use me or Myungsoo let time show the truth"
"Keep that sentence for you, I'm so happy when prince Myungsoo doesn't refuse to be in a match with the prime minister's son Hwang. May the next 3 months of their marriage take place. I can't wait for that"
"Mom, I hope so too"
"Servant please give me an example of her wedding accessories as well, let me and Eunji see"
"Nde yangmulia" exclaimed the waiter who then brought several sets of embellishment to the table. Lock up all the expensive jewelry so that the queen mother and Eunji can choose which one is good for the wedding.

Dinner in the palace dining room, where this place is used if there is a celebration party or welcoming party. Because here the palace family does the night together.
Suzy, Sohee, Eunji, the queen mother, concubine Chang and Alex were sitting at one table. Beside their table were King Hwanhee, the empress, Miura, Kyuhyun, Myungsoo and Sinbi. And others who got a table not far from the king's table. #consider that there are many tables lined up where the palace families eat together in a crowd, because the palace if there is a celebration must all eat together 😊😊 and the relatives of the palace are many like for example nobles such as advisors, parliament and ministers. Okay fine! I assume the reader understands the explanation ribetku😂😂
"Eunji, look at Myungsoo and Sinbi. They are very suitable, very harmonious" said the queen mother who was happy to look at Myungsoo who was sitting beside Sinbi, and they were seen talking while enjoying the dance that was presented.
"Nde mama"
"I hope after their approach for 1 to 3 months it works. So the marriage was soon done, before the unwanted things happened again and harmed the palace"
Suzy just clenched her hands on her thighs in annoyance, until Sohee's warm hands held her, Sohe gave a warm look and assured Suzy that she would be together with Suzy through all this.
Concubine Chang who understood the innuendo of sur mother aimed for Suzy, just as soon as she switched the conversation before it was too late and triggered a fight.
"Jangmulia king, how after the matchmaking of prince Myungsoo and princess Sinbi succeeded. We're looking for a mate too for Sohee's daughter and Suzy's daughter? Don't they deserve to get married?" concubine Chang said to the king to divert the words of the queen mother.
"Yaa concubine Chang, we're still young" Sohee declined a little shy of being alluded to in marriage matters.
"Why is Sohee's daughter? Consort Chang's idea was good? Do you have lovers to refuse" asked king Hwanhee.
"Not yet glorious. It's just that I don't think me and Suzy's daughter are ready yet, we think we're too young to get married" Sohee replied gently.
"Age 21 deserves to be married. We all got married and entered the palace when we were 18. Princess Sinbi is also 19 years old. Isn't he?!" the Queen added.
"Nde mama" said Sinbi.
"So prepare you after the wedding of Prince Myungsoo then you will receive this match"
"Nde"
"Yangmulia, I'm sorry if I may suggest why wait until Prince Myungsoo's wedding is successful. Wouldn't they marry at the same time be better? We can make 3 weddings very lively for 7 days 7 nights" Kyuhyun casually said with a mocking look at Myungsoo.
"Do you have a candidate for prince Kyuhyun? Your proposal I can accept. Marrying the three of them must have made everyone happy, it has been 8 years since your wedding party and your sister took place the palace has not held a wedding celebration again. Only Hyura's birth is the last we'll celebrate together" King Hwanhee said
"Nde yangmulia.3 wedding will bring 3 fortune to the palace. I have a suitable candidate for Sohee's daughter and Suzy's noble daughter"
"Who's the prince?"
"For Sohee's daughter I think it suits Lee Sungjong, the son of Lee kwangsoo's palace secretary. You don't mind not secretary Lee?" kyuhyun asked staring at the palace.
"Not a noble prince if it is indeed best for the palace. Servants and families do not deserve to reject it" Lee's secretary replied respectfully.
"You don't mind not Sungjong?"
"No prince, I'm willing"
Sohee can only look down embarrassed by the conversation, Suzy who beside her smiled seductively Sohee to blush her face.
"Then to Suzy? Who is suitable" said concubine Chang looking curious.
"Of course your son's concubine Chang, prince Alex.You don't mind my sister?" kyuhyun asked Alex who immediately smiled.
"Of course not, Suzy's daughter is unique and interesting to me. I'm younger but that's not a problem for me. You don't mind Princess Suzy? If we are given time to approach like prince Myungsoo and princess Sinbi" Alex teases Suzy who is rewarded with a shot.
"Will I think of your suggestion prince Kyuhyun. I'm just a foster daughter so I don't think I deserve special treatment"
"Don't talk so my son, since you were adopted into a child by concubine Kim and became Sohee's brother then you are also the same as your son, do not feel disturbed by speech that is not pleasant to listen to. Understood!"
"Nde yangmulia king"
"Let's all continue to enjoy the meal"
Without everyone realizing there is Myungsoo who has clenched his hands with emotion when he knows Suzy, the woman he likes will be betrothed to his sister.
After the celebration party the welcome of Sinbi's arrival was delayed by a few days as Myungsoo's fiancee, as the new Myungsoo arrived today at the palace. At 10pm the party was over and made all return to their rooms, except for Eunji and Sungjong who helped the palace ladies to clean the palace tableware into the kitchen.
"I feel sorry for Suzy, she must have been upset" Eunji said.
"You know how else Eunji, I think they can be together but it turns out they are not a match" Sungjong said while talking about dirty palace equipment.
"The queen mother was even so happy with Myungsoo with Sinbi that she even invited me to choose some handbooks and wedding accessories, even though if giving Suzy a chance I believe Suzy is better than Sinbi" said Eunji sadly while carrying a dirty dish.
"I'm the same, but it seems like their destiny is not matchmaking, we can't regret anything that will happen. Just pray for the best" Sungjong advised Eunji wisely.
"I keep hoping for the magic of Sungjong. I hope that Suzy and Myungsoo can be together because I can see that they like each other, and this is the first time that Myungsoo has been attracted to and fallen in love with women. Didn't the Queen's mother see"
"Don't think about it, maybe it's their destiny. You'll get sick thinking about them"
"Hmmmmm. You're right to say if they don't match. Hopefully Suzy can find a good man, with prince Alexpun is okay because Alex is good and humorous" said Eunji lethargic.
"It's almost late, you better go home to your room and rest. Let the remains clear this me and the palace kitchen maids are finishing"
"alright. Good night"
"Good night"
Eunji walked alone to her room in the south. Because of this almost midnight there were no ladies-in-waiting because they must have rested in the hostel, or in the residence of their respective masters.
As she was about to turn Eunji found a woman with a covered face walking hurriedly towards the back door of the palace. Due to high curiosity Eunji followed the woman towards the back exit of the palace.
