Episode 924
Beijing, the imperial capital, was still crowded with people.
First, Jin Cheon-hee stopped by the guesthouse owned by Jin Cheon-hee in Beijing and checked the operating status of the guesthouse.
After that.
Wash and change clothes.
It is a natural step to clean clothes that have beco dirty due to camping.
After finishing preparations, we headed to the imperial palace.
‘Hey, it’s troubleso to prepare for this guy’s entrance…’
As soon as he entered, the royal palace guards inspected him.
Say your na, look up the list, and take out your weapons.
I searched everything to see if there were any hidden daggers.
Since Noejin and Hwanggu, the spirits, cannot enter the palace, the eunuchs decided to take care of them.
After making such a fuss, I entered and found the imperial palace unfolding as usual.
Magnificent palaces and walls lined up between them.
Garden paths that lead to nowhere.
This is a place where you can hear laughter and small sobs.
I stood in this place, always full of power, secret struggles, and intrigue, and looked around blankly.
What you see in front of you is a three-way road.
One is the road to the office and the other is the road to the emperor’s secret annex.
Considering that the letter was sent secretly, it is unlikely that it was directed to the governnt where officials were gathered.
Soon, a eunuch ca running towards Jin Cheon-hee as if he was very happy.
“I ca after hearing your orders!”
He bowed deeply, to the point that it felt burdenso, and eventually walked ahead.
But strangely…
‘This is a road I’ve never been on before?’
Where on earth are they leading ?
If it is not an office or a secret annex, then what purpose was it called?
Jin Cheon-hee couldn’t understand, but decided to follow along for now.
In the first place, there was no other way than that.
* * *
“Pri Minister has arrived!”
“Uh… Isn’t this the place where food is made?”
“yes.”
The signboard, written in a single stroke, said Geonryong Geumhwa Kitchen.
The sll of food seeped out from inside.
“Why on earth… …?”
“….”
When I looked at him with dumbfounded eyes, the eunuch just made a sad expression and did not answer.
‘After all, you have to go in to find out.’
When you go inside, you find yourself in the middle of the huge imperial palace kitchen.
Just looking at it, there was an old-fashioned table, and Eunwangya was sitting alone in front of it.
“Are you here?”
“…Uh…. Yes, yes. ca.”
Jin Cheon-hee imdiately hesitantly pulled out her buttocks.
They are clearly ready to say goodbye.
Eunwangya spoke quickly.
“Just sit down.”
“yes?”
“Don’t do that, sit down!”
“Ah ahhh! All right.”
Jin Cheon-hee was startled and sat across from the table.
‘There are a lot of eyes watching, so is it okay?’
It’s not sothing you can see from Sae-oe or a secret annex.
Rather, it is more familiar to see it in a formal manner in Daejeon, where high-ranking officials gather.
But sitting across from the table in the imperial kitchen.
‘I would feel more comfortable if they gave my own table and sat next to .’
Originally, it was against etiquette for a re subject to sit at the sa table facing the dragon like this.
There it is.
‘No matter how I look at it, doesn’t it look like I’m sitting around in a guest room with uninhabited people?’
Jin Cheonhee sighed softly.
‘I don’t know how word of this will spread.’
There are quite a few people who look at with ax eyes, claiming that I am already favored by the emperor, but I don’t know anymore.
I just hope that I don’t end up stuck in a cold riverbed sowhere like a Russian fortune teller in my later years.
‘Uh… it’s Eunwangya City.’
Jin Cheon-hee looks at his face and only then lowers his face.
‘oh my. You shouldn’t stare at the dragon’s eye.’
I would rather just call it that secret annex at that ti.
Isn’t it a place where you can’t even see anything other than a trustworthy inner hall?
“Do you know who I am?”
“I’m sorry…”
“Guess what.”
Jin Cheon-hee gritted her teeth and sent out an electric sound at the sa ti as she spoke.
“I have no way of knowing what question the Emperor is asking… I am lost.”
[…Is it Eunwangya?]
The whole voice and voice would have been transmitted at the sa ti, as if it were a choir.
“Anyway, his temperant. “That is correct.”
For so reason, Eunwangya looked happy.
Soon, dumplings fresh from the stear were placed in front of Eunwangya.
Of course, it can’t be said that it just ca out.
Because I first took a bite of the kimi naegwan after taking a bite with silver chopsticks.
After that, he says he can eat it and takes three steps back.
‘Imperial etiquette is truly terrible.’
From a modern person’s perspective, just looking at it makes one feel upset.
Eventually, Eunwangya ate the dumplings.
‘Are you eating alone?’
After chewing a bite with elaborately crafted silver chopsticks, he said this.
“It’s not tasty.”
“yes?”
“These dumplings. “It doesn’t taste good.”
What on earth are you doing by calling soone?
“Uh… why do you have to eat tasteless dumplings?”
“Only my sister is the mouth, and I, the emperor, am the mouth?”
“….”
Jin Cheon-hee thought while looking at that scene.
‘This is… the emperor?’
However, his expression is calm as usual.
This is because, unlike Geumwangya, Eunwangya does not have the ability to read minds.
“It’s not tasty. Clean it up.”
“Yes!”
The nae-gwan huffs and puts away the dumplings. At the sa ti, it is natural for the expressions of the imperial servants to worsen.
‘Is it so kind of political plot that I don’t know about?’
Is there any need to analyze this crappy situation?
Eunwangya said.
“dumpling! “Why can’t we serve aged at dumplings?”
“…uh… Eunwangya. Aged at dumplings are made with aged at.”
“so?”
“…You can’t make it without aged at.”
whatever! Hey!
Even if that weren’t the case, the eyes of the servants looking at would be so stinging that they would die!
The imperial dumplings, which were dismissed as tasteless, are so fragrant that just looking at them makes my mouth water.
‘If you’re going to throw away, give away! Hwang Sang-ah, who ate this extravagant rice!’
The opponent is a dumpling made with all his might by the imperial servant!
Do you throw it away in front of people who say it’s not tasty?
“Oh, you really want to make it with materials I don’t have? “I have already prepared it.”
As he said that, he clapped his hands.
Only then did Jin Cheon-hee realize.
All of this was a show.
A show prepared to make you make dumplings.
‘Even if I don’t go this far, I’m in a situation where I have to criticize if the emperor like heaven tells to criticize, so why are you looking at like this?’
As soon as I first arrived, I threw myself in the kitchen and said, ‘Uh-huh! Why not eat aged at dumplings? It’s a golden na!’ If this is the case, isn’t it a situation where you have no choice but to make it while crying?
But what does it an to do a show like this?
‘Are you afraid that I might make it less delicious than Juwangya?’
Jin Cheon-hee, who thought that far, imdiately erased that fact from her mind.
Anyway, isn’t the motive too petty?
Jin Cheon-hee looked at the condition of the aged at and said this.
“They are indeed servants of the imperial family. It was very well made, right? But I made dumplings with this, so there’s no way it wouldn’t taste good.”
“You have to make it!”
‘…Such absurdity…!’
Jin Cheon-hee cursed three tis in a row in her mind and responded with the smile of a Buddha.
“All right. “I will make it with all my heart for His Majesty Sosin.”
As expected, the dumplings I just threw away were such a waste.
‘It all had to co into my mouth. ‘Ugh.’
Jin Cheon-hee got up, shedding bloody tears inside.
“Then, I will take a look at governnt affairs for a while, so get everything ready in the anti.”
Saying that, he hums and leaves.
‘Wow, who is not the emperor? He is so selfish!’
Jin Cheonhee internally clenched her fists.
Hey.
If it weren’t for , the Fire Empire would have been the leader. know?!
Isn’t that the damn emperor, his bad brother? cousin? Anyway, one of the insides is a bandag and a bucktail!
Joo Wang-ya must have been proud after eating the aged at dumplings.
Damn that’s the problem.
* * *
I can feel the jealous gaze of the imperial servants on the back of my neck.
It was natural.
He is an intruder into the sacred kitchen.
A rolled stone with an embedded stone removed.
However, since his position is governor, he cannot even swear.
‘Ah… I don’t want to be called to make dumplings either, do I?’
The emperor’s favorite.
That is the life goal of all beings living in this imperial palace.
Earthlings may start to wonder if the love of just one person is such a big goal in life, but they can’t help it.
In this pyramid hierarchy, the emperor is literally the son of heaven.
It was a ti when it was truly believed that if the emperor’s physical condition deteriorated, disaster would strike the country.
If this is the emperor’s favorite dish.
If this happens, they say it will remain as a story and be talked about for a long ti.
‘Now that I think about it, I heard that according to the laws of the Fire Empire, you are not allowed to eat one dish more than three tis, but neither Geumwangya nor Eunwangya do that.’
The dish is complete.
As the dumplings were placed on the plate, Naegwan Kimi prepared to take a bite.
At that mont, the emperor quickly put his chopsticks in his mouth and took a bite.
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
‘You’re completely defenseless.’
What would you do if you had any remorse?
As Jin Cheon-hee stared, the emperor spoke.
“why? “Would you like to do the work for you?”
Are you also practicing mind reading on the subject of Eunwangya?
Actually, the emperor of the last days.
It’s scary to think about the amount of work this guy is doing.
“I’m already dying from what I’m doing.”
“I agree.”
“What are you going to do if soone else, not , poisons the water or the cow?”
“There exists soone who could deceive your eyes?”
“The river is wide.”
“Then you will fix it. Or work instead.”
Madness.
It was clear that he was literally going crazy with his killer workload.
“You eat too.”
“Yes!”
Jin Cheon-hee was able to eat the dumplings she made with the permission of the emperor.
I’m so sad that tears co out.
‘Well I made it, but it’s delicious.’
The combination of moist dumpling filling and soy sauce with red pepper oil on the surface is perfect.
I close my eyes and savor it for a while, and Eunwangya is watching intently.
“…what… what is it?”
“Are you really not planning on getting a job at the imperial family?”
“…doesn’t exist. “To kill soone from overwork.”
“Even if I give you all the gold and silver treasures and power?”
Damn it.
It’s scary to even imagine how this word will spread later.
‘Why don’t you just bite them all and have only the loud-mouthed naegwan sit around?’
Jin Cheon-hee answered with bloody tears.
“It would be better to cut off the little man’s head. “The workload is just too much.”
“Tsk!”
Are you sulking!
I don’t know how to deal with a nobleman who used to beat the heads off of his royal relatives, but now he’s throwing tantrums like a child.
Geumwangya still felt like it had a minimal wall, but Eunwangya doesn’t have anything like that.
To put it in a good way, it is gentle, but in a bad way, it is playing with a rubber band on the line.
What is this kind of being called in Korea?…
‘Legendary Ganjabi.’
He is literally doing a tap dance with rubber bands around his ankles as if he has crossed the line or not.
Thanks to this, I feel like I’m falling behind here. very.
“Huhuhuhu.”
Looking at Jin Cheon-hee’s troubled expression, Eun Wang-ya smiled to herself, wondering why she was so happy.
“It’s been a while. Eating a al that wasn’t eaten by soone else first….”
‘…was that why?’
Eunwangya’s voice sounded strangely bitter.
Eventually, he left half and imdiately made a gesture.
The eunuch nodded and took it sowhere.
Just looking at the inner coffin he carried, he appears to have a heavy mouth.
‘You’re taking it to Geumwangya.’
Only then did Jin Cheon-hee realize.
No, what I was vaguely thinking ca back as certainty.
‘Right. Is this in itself a plot?’
Those who are relatively light-spoken.
On the other hand, eunuchs are very loud-mouthed.
Not all of these eunuchs were soft-spoken people.
There must have been so light ones among them.
‘It looks like they are manipulating the information leaking out of the castle.’
Goosebumps –
Jin Cheon-hee’s chopsticks suddenly stopped.
The reason for this manipulation was simple.
[Are you trying to plot with ?]
Eunwangya smiled slightly at her younger brother’s voice.
Then, he whispered in a voice so low that only Jin Cheon-hee, Kang Ho-in, could hear it.
A quick, small sound that almost feels like you’re just rolling your tongue a little.
Kang Ho-in Jin Cheon-hee accurately understood that mont that no one could care about.
“I’m trying to protect you.”
…What a ticulous man this is.
[I can protect my body. As for using honey as a ans to an end…]
“You don’t have to worry about what goes on beneath the surface. “I just served you dumplings today, so I guess that’s it.”
Jin Cheon-hee realized.
‘Ah, this is also a type of Yin Gong.’
It’s easier to write than full sound, and unless you’re nearby, you can’t hear it or read its mouth properly.
Have you learned this?
Eunwangya smiles slightly.
“You probably don’t know how your position has changed because of the fish.”
Fish ie. Are you talking about a monster fish?
Tak-
Eunwangya put down his chopsticks.
Then he said cheerfully:
“Okay then, let’s move places.”
What on earth is this guy thinking?
