Surviving the Romance Fantasy

“The Secretary-General personally sent a letter, telling me to decide my future course on my own…”

As I spoke in a heavy voice, there was silence in the room.

In the conference room of the government office, there was Wang Han, who had come from his brother-in-law early in the morning, and Yeon-ri, who had come in as my chosen maid.

Originally, we were supposed to have a meeting with other factors such as Adjutant Hasihua, Bicheon, and Black Moon Captain Cheong Jinmyeong… but the agenda to be dealt with today was something we had to discuss among ourselves.

“…Are you asking me to personally choose one of the masters of the four palaces? Taepyeong… you…”

“The person who gave the order may not even know what this means.”

“Well, I guess so…”

Yeonri and Wanghan.

These two, who had been in close contact since Baekseon Palace, were people who knew exactly how the princesses of the four major palaces were intertwined.

“No… Yeonri… the situation has become like this… It’s been so long since you became the maid of honor, but you still stayed still…?”

“Well… I wonder if there was a reason…”

When Wang Han looked at him in disbelief, Yeonri averted his gaze as if embarrassed.

From Yeon-ri’s perspective, there may have been a lot she wanted to say, but it was something she couldn’t say in summary.

“Wow, definitely… Receiving orders from superiors and carrying them out are two very different things from choosing to work for someone yourself. “I’m not sure how the crown prince will take it…”

“I also agree with Yeonri. Taepyeong. Still… if even the Central Library of Korea came forward and sent a letter, it has to be decided within today…”

Will the development project of the active room be accelerated under the support of Jeongseon Incheon under Ingwibi?

Will he strengthen his relationship with Ha-ga, who was sealed under Ha Deok-bi, and expand his influence in the main palace?

Will you become Princess Cheondo’s counselor under Lady Jin and help her with her work?

“I… I am most comfortable with Po Hyeonbi…”

“Po Hyeonbi has already been pushed out… Taepyeong… you know it well…”

Po Hyeon-bi, who does not come from a prestigious family and does not have any special magical powers, cannot rise to that rank.

No matter how much Po Hyeon-bi does not pursue matters, has no interest in politics, and tries to treat me as a friend… it means nothing if there is no reason to go under her.

“Depending on what opinion you express here, the outcome of this battle to take over the deputy general will be clearly different. “You… will decide the winner… Taepyeong…”

There isn’t much set time in the first place.

Only by making a clear decision within today can we organize the story properly in a letter and officially present it at the meeting the next day.

Now, I can’t be allowed to say I won’t do it and run away, and I can’t refuse the royal order in the first place.

“Shall I just… lie down because I’m sick…?”

“Is it really beneficial for a country’s general to be shown to be inactive while fighting illness?…

“And… it’s a problem we can’t just run away from forever.”

Wang Han said with a stern expression.

“If it’s something that has to be decided at some point, it’s better to just come to a conclusion at once. If you are indecisive, the situation will likely get worse….”

“Yes, Taepyeong. “You have no choice but to decide the winner of this battle to take over the Deputy General…”

With Wang Han and Yeon-ri between me, I lowered my head and fell into thought, feeling as if a knife had been thrust into my throat.

Beads of sweat rise from my back, and it feels as if time passes slowly.

Queen Ingwi, Queen Hadeok, and Queen Jin.

Where should I go…?

With so many scattered circumstances in front of us, what and how should we weigh them?

I fell into such deep, deep trouble.

*

The next day, a fishing meeting was held.

The royal meeting, presided over by the emperor himself, is a place where all famous party officials attend and sit together.

Of course, the princesses of the four major palaces do not attend the meetings held at the main palace.

Unless they are a witness in an important case or have a significant influence on decision-making, they just wait in the palace.

‘…It’s so uncomfortable…!’

Even at the tea ceremony held at Hyeonmu Palace for the first time in a long time, the crown princes remained silent.

Po Xuanfei could not bear this suffocating atmosphere.

Perhaps after this tea party is over and everyone returns to their respective palaces, the results of the fishing meeting held this morning will be reported.

‘The matter of assigning duties to the new deputy general’

The outcome of the matter, which has been listed as one of the important agenda items of today’s meeting, will finally be decided today.

Whose hand did Deputy General Seol Taepyeong support?

Because all kinds of political circumstances were intertwined, it would not be strange no matter what choice he made.

As I thought the outcome would be decided, the animosity between the crown princes disappeared.

Since you don’t think that whatever you do from now on will have any effect on the outcome, the conflict is resolved.

It seemed like they would rather finish the tea ceremony quickly and return to their respective palaces to receive reports on the agenda of the tea ceremony.

“I don’t think we have any more pleasantries to share today, so shall we call it a day?”

In the end, Po Hyeon-bi, who was presiding over the tea ceremony, had no choice but to get lucky first.

This was because there was nothing more he could do with the crown princes who were in the soybean field.

Just like that, the princesses from each palace returned to their respective seats.

As soon as Lady In, who led the maids to the palace, entered the inner room, the maid came and handed out a letter.

It was a summary of the agenda of the fishing meeting held today morning.

The same was true for Ha Deok-bi at Baekho Palace, and it was also the same for Po Hyeon-bi who finished cleaning up after the event at Hyeonmu Palace.

And, Lady Jin, who was sitting on the floor of Cheongryong Palace, also accepted the letter.

——————————–

Matter of assignment of new Deputy General Seol Tae-pyeong to duties

The 8th generals supporting the Cheongdo State in their respective positions under the command of General Seong Sa-wook.

Among them, the agenda for determining the duties of Deputy General Seol Tae-pyeong, ranked second, was completed.

There were many places that wanted to assign him, but we considered the situation where he could not be entrusted with all the work because he was already in charge of various tasks.

The emperor had ordered in advance, and more than anything, it was the Vice General’s own wish that his place of duty was decided to be the concubine’s Cheonryongchae.

The Emperor asked Deputy General Seol Tae-pyeong to ensure that he does not lack anything in serving as Princess Cheondo’s counselor, and to always strive to ensure that the will of Cheonryong is safe and peaceful.

Bongung fish hoe.

628th session, 8 agenda items.

Scholar Jeong Unhyeol

——————————–

“….”

When I put down the document sitting on the floor, the head maid, Hoein, quietly took it.

“It appears that General Vice-President is eating Cheonryongchae. “I salute you, Lady Jin.”

“okay. That’s how it happened. However, rather than something to be celebrated, it is probably something that requires more strength. “How easy is it to have a general from one country under your command?”

Has Jin Sook-bi also become an adult?

The head maid thought she would be overjoyed, but was surprised by her surprisingly calm reaction.

Well, you can’t live like a child forever.

Although he hasn’t had a coming-of-age ceremony yet to be considered an adult… Still, living in the imperial palace among high-ranking officials has no choice but to become calm.

Also, before the Vice General does anything, she seems to be contemplating what to do as the Princess of Cheondo.

This probably means that he is now becoming a person who sees the big picture and knows how to wield his own influence.

Watching Queen Jin’s growth, the head maid shed tears in her heart. My master’s growth is a great joy to the maid.

“It looks like the deputy general will be coming to say hello soon. I’m so tired from my tea party that I’m going to have to go to my room and take a nap for a while, so please be as quiet as possible. “Don’t let anyone in.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Oh, and give me the documents back. “There are many other important agendas, so it’s not a good idea to just throw away one agenda related to me just because I confirmed it.”

“Ah… I understand.”

“Okay… a lot of things have been decided. “I can feel the weight on my shoulders…”

Is this the Jin Sugbi? My heart feels bigger…

The housemaid held back tears as she handed out the documents and opened the door for Lady Jin, who was entering the inner room to take a nap.

As I watched my master grow up to the fullest, I felt proud of myself for deciding to be loyal to her.

– Grumble

Jin Sook-bi entered the dark inner room, closed the paper door, and first checked the surroundings.

Usually, there were many maids in the boudoir checking on Lady Jin’s well-being, but today there was no one there, perhaps because they had spoken in advance.

Still, just in case, I closed all the wooden windows and slowly opened the paper door again to check once more that no one was in the hallway.

From afar, you can see three low-level maids standing guard in the hallway, but since the distance is far away, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to worry too much.

“Whoa…”

Then, I closed the main door of the inner room once more, calmly changed my clothes, and sighed deeply.

“Kaaa!”

Eventually, he threw himself on the bed and kicked the poor blanket with his tiny tabi feet.

Then, hugging the silk pillow with the force of bursting, she rolled around on the wide bed, jumped up and down while holding on to the dresser, and twirled around the inner room, cheering with joy.

“uuu!”

I quickly swallow my laughter for fear that the sound might leak outside.

As I was laughing so carefully, even when I saw it, the sound of my laughter was very sinister. This is not something a person who is the owner of the Blue Dragon Palace would do.

In fact, as soon as I checked the documents handed over by the housemaid, the cheers rose so loudly that I had to grit my teeth and endure them.

The solemn discussion there about the future situation of Qingdao could be said to be a great development.

“It’s a good thing I practiced the power of the Heavenly Dragon for several weeks… Those who work hard are rewarded…! “Is this a gift from the Heavenly Emperor to me…!”

And then I opened the agenda document that looked as precious as gold and looked at it again.

– ‘The emperor had ordered in advance, and above all, at the wish of the deputy general himself, his place of duty was decided to be the concubine’s Cheonryongchae.’

Above all, the Vice General himself wished for his place of duty to be the concubine’s Cheonryongchae…

The deputy general himself wishes…

I hope so.

You have hope…!

The deputy general himself… I personally hope…!!!

You can receive support from Queen Ingwi and the Jeongseon family, or you can solidify the power of Queen Hadeok and Seonbong Hagawa.

Why… why not…!

“Why bother pointing it out! To Tianlongchae!”

Smiling with joy, Queen Jin hugged the documents tightly and took a deep breath.

Even though he could have gone somewhere else, Deputy General Seol Taepyeong chose to stay by Queen Jin’s side.

I remember that I was very anxious that General Busu might fall for the appeasement of the other crown princes and move out of Cheonryongchae. What a great injustice this is.

Why do you have to doubt him when he supports you so firmly?

‘hehehe… I won… I won…!!’

Even when I think about it, that smile is so heartbreaking that I end up thinking that it should never be seen by anyone outside of the Blue Dragon Palace.

Queen Jin quickly got up from the bed again, jumped out, and took out the scriptures and etiquette books that were on one side.

If you look around, you will find scriptures that deal with the duties of a subject, and books of law that outline the hierarchical structure of the palace.

There is also content that regulates the duties of subjects who were appointed as assistants and the duties of those who ruled.

Now, Deputy General Seol Taepyeong is officially under his command, and Jin Sukbi can decide to some extent what to do with him.

What task will you entrust to him, what will you ask him to do…

Do it yourself! directly! You can decide…!

Is this how an emperor who has the whole world under his thumb feels?

This may be the feeling of a heavenly emperor shaking the world.

“Ah, I guess I should always ask them to come to say hello in the morning… That doesn’t seem to be too much of a departure from the rules of etiquette… Is it okay if we eat together at least one meal every day…?”

“Hmm… It seems difficult for the Deputy General to be together all the time since we also have to manage the active room… But it will be possible to see each other every day…”

“Well, you will escort me during the big Tianlongchae event… right? “I heard other assistant officials said that much…”

Jin Suk-bi imagines life at Cheonryongchae while flicking her feet in the air. All kinds of bright flowers seemed to be blooming next to it.

There was no such happy event in Queen Jin’s short life.

“W-when are you coming to say hello…? Now that you’ve officially become my assistant… I guess you’ll come visit me one more time…? Oh, would it be better to take a jade butterfly-shaped nap? “It might not be a good idea to have too many flashy treasures… Hmm… I’ll have to search through the treasure chest some more…!”

Although there was no light source… it seemed as if a bright flash of light was coming out of the inner room of the Blue Dragon Palace.

*

“Leave home~ Take the train~ The day you go to the training center…”

“When I bow to my parents and go out the front door…”

“In my heart, I feel some regret, but my friend’s face has given up… Everything is new.”

“Now again!!!! city!! It’s small!!! “Life of a young day…”

As I finished preparing to go to Queen Jin to say hello to her, I sang a song full of joy.

Of course, Wang Han, who had no way of knowing this song, said with a very sad face.

“Taepyeong… You’re not going to die…”

“…”

“Still, I think it was right for me to choose Cheonryongchae, where the Seol maid can be close by and help. It’s better than having to deal with the consequences of messing with the sealing or jeongseon approval. “I’m maintaining just the right balance right now… so if I had to pick one, it was a wise choice.”

Wang Han patted my shoulder and comforted me sincerely.

“Anyway, the situation has come to this, so cheer up…”

“Okay… Hana, you too, do your best as a brother-in-law.”

From Noble mtl dot com

So… I finished getting ready and walked out with heavy steps and looked up at the sky in the active room.

From now on… I had to go say hello to Queen Jin.

The sun rising in the sky was truly dazzling.

I don’t even know my heart.

Surviving on Ropan Episode 110

The Arrival of White Ghosts (1)

– ‘It is truly an honor for the family to meet in person the head of the Hwa Yongse family, the biggest pillar supporting this shining peaceful castle of Qingdao.’

The head of the Hwa Yongseol family who returned after subjugating the Sanghwa Kingdom created by northern barbarians.

The atmosphere in the main palace courtyard, where a large banquet was held to welcome him, was heating up.

It made me think that this place, with musicians playing music, dancers dancing, and delicious snacks, might be paradise on earth.

All kinds of officials were coming and going next to the owner of this place, Seol Imun, the head of the Hwayong Seol family.

People were flocking to see Seol Yi-moon, one of the best military officers at Cheongdo Palace.

– ‘Aren’t you the Inspector General of Ancheong? I am truly honored that you have come to this position. I would like to thank you in a big way at the level of pragmatics.’

– ‘I can’t believe the Chief Secretary is coming all the way to this place. First, I will give a big bow.’

– ‘Isn’t he the deputy secretary-general of the Red Palace? It’s really nice to see you after a long time. So, your sword skills have improved a bit?’

Seol Yi-moon, who was clinking glasses while exchanging greetings with various people, left the banquet hall for a moment and took a rest at the back of the main office building.

When I was young, I would stay up all night drinking and not get tired, but as I got closer to the age of death, I found that I didn’t feel like getting drunk more often.

After shaking off the appropriate amount of alcohol and coming to my senses, I quietly looked up at the moon and stood up.

– ‘This is a famous moon viewing spot that only those in the palace know about, and as someone who has worked as an imperial palace official for his entire life, he knows the palace well.’

* * *

– ‘… The owner of Anpyeong Trading Company, no. ‘I never thought I’d come to a place like this.’

– ‘I knew you would be curious about the status of Seonghyeolhwa, the servant, so I came to the banquet even though it was late.’

At those words, Seol Imoon’s face lit up.

Seonghyeolhwa, a treasurer from the West Continent. When she came to the imperial capital, we coincidentally met and had a few drinks, and even after returning from the extermination of the barbarians in the north, I was curious about her current situation and asked her about it.

After falling in love with her while under the influence of alcohol, I was shocked when I heard the news that she was carrying an illegitimate child.

However, Seonghyeolhwa, a confident woman who could be called a woman’s wife, continued her journey with her child in her arms. He then left, leaving only a message to Seol Yi-moon to focus on his duties as a military officer.

While Seol I-moon was shedding blood in the northern land, Seonghyeol-hwa would have already given birth to a child.

As I was thinking about that, I couldn’t concentrate on the banquet. As much as I wanted to search the imperial capital in search of Seonghyeolhwa right away, I didn’t have time to do so. Seol Yi-moon was a person who could not leave the imperial palace at this point.

– ‘Where are you and what are you doing? It’s time for me to do my duty, so I’d like to tell you that you don’t have to worry about me anymore.’

– ‘Not long ago, it transported goods from Anpyeong Sanghoe, but now it appears to be traveling back and forth between the West Station. They’ve probably set up shop near the Cloudy Region, but it might take some time to send someone there to find out.’
