Tae Pyung smile as he remember what happened in the greenhouse last night. He reach Eon Jin's hand under the table and Eon Jin got startled. Eon Jin secretly smile while Tae Pyung pressing gently her hands.
"Where have you been, Wol Sook.." Lady Cheon Myeong said when Wol Sook rushing towards to them. Eon Jin and Tae Pyung immediately sit properly and look at to Wol Sook. "I'm sorry Lady Cheon Myeong... I woke up late..." Wol Sook said. Lady Cheon Myeong look at her with puzzlement. "This is the first time, Wol Sook... What happened? Are you not feeling well?" Cheon Myeong asked. All of the Sons our looking at her including the couple. Wol Sook look at to Eon Jin and Tae Pyung who seems are also waiting on her response. "I'm okay, Lady Cheon Myeong... But I couldn't sleep last night because of what I saw in the greenhouse..." Wol Sook said. Tae Pyung Choked and Eon Jin's face are now turning red. "Tae Pyung... Are you okay?" General Son said. Tae Pyung nodded. "Eomma.. Let's eat now... The food are getting cold..." Eon Jin said. But Lady Cheon Myeong ignored her and keep asking questions to Wol Sook. "What did you see, Wol Sook?" She asked. Wol Sook look at the two and tried to hide her laughter. "I saw two birds, Lady Cheon Myeong... I think they are lovers..." Wol Sook said. Eon Jin choked when she drink her water. Her two brothers look at them. "Yah! Are you two okay?" Joo Meok said. "Is choking is contagious?" Joo Meok said.
"Wol Sook... Are you telling the truth? How can have birds in the middle of the night? And how did you know that they are lovers?" Il Woo said. "Maybe she saw a bat, Hyung..." Joo Meok said. "Young master... they're kissing.." Wol Sook said. "That's it! They are really lovers, Hyung. I think it's their mating season that's why they still up in the middle of the night." Joo Meok said.
The two are now both blushed and they feel uncomfortable. General Son look at them. "Tae Pyung and Eon Jin why you're face are now in red?" General Son said. Eon Jin gave Wol Sook a death glared. Wol Sook stand behind Cheon Myeong. "Lady Cheon Myeong, please excuse me... Sam suk needs me at the kitchen.." Wol Sook said and she dash off away from them. "It's a hot weather today, Abeonim... I think it's because the weather..." Tae Pyung said. Eon Jin nodded and let out an awkward smile.
'Yah! Wol Sook... I will reap your mouth later...' In Eon Jin's mind.

Present days
"Your Majesty.... The Crown Prince must have at least one Concubine..." One of the minister suggested. The King frowned because of the topic. "Please hear us, Your Majesty... We heard that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are not in good terms... We also heard that the Crown Prince love someone else... So it's impossible for them to have an heir." He added. "that's a baseless rumor! Stop this nonsense appeal! The Crown Prince and Crown Princess is on their honeymoon at Son's Residence." The King said.
"Your Majesty.... If that's the case, the Crown Princess must conceive an heir before this year ends to protect the throne and for the future of Silla. However, If she couldn't conceive an heir.... The people will think that the Crown Princess is incapable to bear a child and she must dethrone from the Crown Princess position." Minister Min said. "And that's what happened to the late Crown Prince's wife before... " He added.
The King got furious because he knows that they are now targeting his friendship to General Son through the Crown Princess.
"Hear us, Your Majesty.... Let the Crown Prince have a concubine for the better future of Silla." Half of the Ministers said.
Meanwhile, the Queen Dowager heard the appeal. "Your Royal Highness... I think you're right... They will never stop until they get what they want..." Queen Han Soo said. "And now they targeting the Crown Princess... What should we do?" She added. "Have you heard any news about the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess? How are they at Son's Residence?" The Queen Dowager said. "I heard that Lady cheon Myeong, force them to sleep in one room and the two cooperate with them." Queen Han Soo said. The Queen Dowager smile, "That's good news... I was hoping that there's an improvement when they return here in the palace." The Queen Dowager said.
Queen Han Soo staring blankly ahead and the Queen Dowager notice it. "Is there something bothering you?" The Queen Dowager asked. Queen Han Soo look at her. "Your Royal Highness... I'm sorry but I was just thinking if we let the Crown Prince to have a concubine... We all known that he has someone in his heart and that's Lady Sora." Queen Han Soo said. The Queen Dowager look at her with puzzlement. "And?" The Queen Dowager said. "If we choose Lady Sora as his concubine, the Crown Prince will be happy and there's a high chance that he'll have an heir with Lady Sora, Your Royal Highness... They love each other." Queen Han Soo said. "And all the ministers against us will stop appealing if we grant their request." She added.
The Queen Dowager didn't speak for a second. "How about the Crown Princess, Queen Han Soo? Although the Crown Prince must have many heirs, it's better that the Crown Princess will conceive the first born child." The Queen Dowager said."Is it because that you got worried for Tae Pyung? Because he's with someone he didn't love? Am I right, Queen Han Soo?" The Queen Dowager said. Queen Han Soo didn't speak and ket out a deep sigh. "At first yes, Your Royal Highness... But now, I'm more worried to the Crown Princess..." Queen Han Soo said. "Just like me before.. they will keep pressuring her to conceive an heir... She will get lonely everytime she try but she can't. King Tae Shin really love me so he understands me but what if my son is opposite from his father? The Crown Princess will get more lonely and hurt Your Royal Highness..." Queen Han Soo said. The Queen Dowager look at her and saw the pain in her eyes. The Queen Dowager hold her hand, "Queen Han Soo... I'm sorry if you experience that painful experience. But that's our fate on being a Queen. Our duty is to support the King and to give him an heir for the sake of the throne and to the future of Silla. " The Queen Dowager said as she smile. Queen Han Soo let out a small smile. "Princess Eon Jin, I know, she's destined to be the Crown Princess... That's why let's put our trust on her, and on the progress of their relationship....," She added.

Author's note
I thought life of being a queen or princess was fun but everytime I watch Saeguk or read books... It is so complicated... 😅 But for me, If I have a Crown Prince like Prince Tae Pyung beside me, I would rather to live a complicated life than a normal life haha..
