Surviving the Romance Fantasy

“Usually I say things to you, but this time you say them to me.”

“Oh, no… When I came up with a plan, there was always logic and reason… !”

“Logic is always a leap, and the reasons are always absurd.”

“Ah, anyway… !”

Yeonri cleared her throat once and spoke with a serious face.

“Of course, this episode is going quite well… But does that mean Crown Prince Hyeonwon will be affectionate with his concubines? ?”

“I will make that happen.”

“… ?”

Seol Taepyeong had a more serious expression than ever.

This time, the solemn thought of connecting Crown Prince Hyeonwon and his concubines had a certain kind of charm.

What on earth made him so serious?

Of course, it is a life-threatening crisis that has been repeated.

“I told you so many times. “I saw up close how extraordinary the princesses of the four palaces were, while working as an internal examiner.”

“Yeah, that’s true, but… .”

“Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince has confidence in me. If necessary, he wants to hire me, and my older sister is my older sister. “If I say I need you, you will listen to me.”

As an in-house ledger, I tried not to get involved in every little detail, but given the circumstances, I had no choice.

“Besides, even if I don’t look like that… Also, when it’s important, I know how to resolve the situation with words. It’s not just about swinging a sword all the time. “After all, I am a man who knows how to use his tongue.”

“okay… I admit that, but… Taepyeong, are you… .”

“I am… He might have some talent as a matchmaker… Yeonri… .”

This time, he risks his life to connect Crown Prince Hyeonwon and his concubines.

Prince Hyeonwon, who has an unfortunate past, is a pitiful person who has been twisted by his lonely position. Since he is a romantic comedy male lead, he is a handsome man with a sharp appearance.

In addition, the queen, queen, queen, and queen consort are all capable characters with charm and virtue, aren’t they?

They are all good-looking men and women of noble status, so if you give them a little support, things can go smoothly.

In the process, her involvement with a man named Seol Tae-pyeong is temporarily relegated to an aberration during a time of tempest and turmoil. There was a time when I had an unspeakable affair with a military officer… With this thought in their hearts, the crown princes carry out their respective duties.

It is perfect.

It’s a picture so beautiful that it brings tears to your eyes.

“Taepyeong… You’re making a futile effort. It would be fortunate if the situation didn’t get worse… .”

“I’m serious, Yeonri.”

“okay… Anyway, there is a need to take a closer look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince… .”

Yeon-ri took a deep breath, stood up from the table, and spoke.

“The fact that the incarnation of the evil spirit is in the main palace was vaguely outlined last time, right?”

“It did.”

“It’s a story I can’t possibly tell, but to be honest, all high-ranking officials above the third rank are suspicious.”

If a reverse ghost had swallowed the body and pretended to be that person, they were repeating reincarnation together… .

At the very least, it is said that he is a person who can monitor the situation in Cheonryongchae and exert influence on the political situation within the palace.

Otherwise, there is no way it would have been able to constantly interfere with Yeonri in so many reincarnations.

“To be honest, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hyeonwon is also suspicious.”

“… .”

In fact, Prince Hyeonwon’s position itself was very advantageous.

Not only is his status noble, but he rarely appears in the main palace and is always confined to the crown prince’s womb, so there is no way to monitor him.

On the other hand, if he wanted to, he could have used someone to hear news from Tianlongchai at any time, so if he was a reverse demon, everything would fit together very neatly.

“If His Majesty the Crown Prince is the incarnation of a reverse demon, he would be aware of the fact that the world is reincarnating.”

“… However, that is an act of doubting the crown prince of a country. “If you make a mistake, you will be beheaded right away.”

“huh. So, even if you can’t say it out loud, I hope you’ll consider it. “I’m in the position of deputy general, so if you ask, I can make a stand alone with the crown prince.”

“Hmm… .”

“The probability of that happening is low, but just in case, Taepyeong, please take care of it. “I wonder if he remembers reincarnation, and if so, it would be better to come up with a way to detect it.”

Seol Taepyeong nodded with a serious face.

“okay. first… I guess I’ll have to ask for a private seat. “If it were your Majesty the Crown Prince, he would grant you permission.”

“Go and say something…” ?”

“In fact, it is difficult to find out the memories of reincarnation right away. So, first of all, I have to do what I can.”

Seol Taepyeong, with a more serious face than when facing an army of thousands of ghosts, lowered his voice.

“I will have to spend three days and nights convincing you how wonderful and true women the princesses of the four palaces are.”

“… .”

“Let me clearly show you what a genius matchmaker made of heaven is… .”

“Taepyeong… Sometimes it’s better to stay still… .”

Yeonri touched her temple and let out a sigh of anxiety.

“I will not enter the concubine.”

The next day, Crown Prince Hyeonwon spoke directly at a meeting where his subjects gathered to prepare for the Crown Prince’s birthday ceremony.

I, who was mixed in the middle, opened my eyes wide.

What now… ?

“I am the crown prince of this kingdom of Cheongdo, blessed by the heavenly emperor, and the one who will become the owner of the main palace in the future. “It is up to me to decide on my own companion who will continue the law of heaven. How can it be that high-ranking officials decide arbitrarily based on political logic?”

“Well, Your Highness… .”

The embarrassed scholar’s voice trembled.

Everyone knew that Crown Prince Hyeonwon did not show much affection to his concubines, but they never thought he would announce it so openly.

No matter how Prince Hyeonwon was, he could not openly ignore the laws of the palace.

“His Royal Highness… Please reconsider. Entering the palace on the night of the coming-of-age ceremony is a strict royal law that has been followed for a long time.”

“Was that law above the crown prince who received the energy of the heavenly emperor?”

“Well, Your Highness… .”

Prince Hyeonwon, who always lived his life as if it were empty, has changed a lot in recent years.

Such rumors were already circulating among the main palace.

When the scholar was left speechless, this time, senior secretary In Seon-rok personally came up to the conference table, bowed his head, and spoke.

“His Royal Highness. The concubines were not determined based on shallow political logic, but were chosen from the most noble and excellent women who were suitable to be His Highness’s companions, taking into account both the will of the Heavenly Emperor and the energy of the earth. The selection process is so harsh and arduous that even the maids in the internal affairs department are holding out their tongues.”

“Is it Inseonrok, the Sangseogwan?”

This is Crown Prince Hyeonwon, who visited the main palace for the first time in a long time.

After returning for the first time in a while, his body seemed to have the elegance of a crown prince.

“okay. Please answer this. “Among the great women who were elected fairly without any consideration of political logic, I am the one named In Ha-yeon who sits in the position of master of the palace.”

“… .”

“Is that woman, a member of the Jeongseon family, really sitting there regardless of political circumstances? Coincidentally, he came from the same Jeongseon family as you.”

Senior Secretary In Seon-rok could not say anything.

Prince Hyeonwon shouted as he saw the other dignitaries bowing their heads.

“The man named Ha-wol, who sat in the position of Deokbi, was indeed from the Inbong Ha family, a member of the royal family. hahahaha. Do you still see me as a puppet who is naively guided by the play of your tongue?”

“Well, Your Highness… .”

“The strict laws of the court? “High-ranking officials always make excuses like that when they try to hide their ambitions and manipulate others.”

Prince Hyeonwon, who sat down again at the head of the table, held his breath and spoke in a low voice.

“I choose my companion. “Get out of here.”

While I wasn’t seeing him, Prince Hyeonwon’s self-esteem had become much stronger.

There is no need to argue. The person who breathed life into him was Seolran, who served as his byeolseon maid.

“The birthday celebration should be held in a grand manner. okay. However, after the coming of age ceremony, I will return to the Prince’s Palace. Even if my father personally comes and persuades me, I will not break my will.”

“majesty. Even if you say you don’t want him as a companion, how about treating the owners of the four palaces alone at least once? “If you look at the vessel and its value, your mind might change.”

“I told you to get out of here.”

Even if you don’t make them a pet, isn’t it okay to meet them and check them out?

That is a different thing from playing as a puppet for dignitaries.

However, Prince Xuanyuan was strangely unwilling to meet the owners of the Four Palaces. It was rather strange to draw such a thorough line.

I lowered my head and looked at Prince Hyeonwon’s expression.

He looked appreciatively at the dignitaries, and then out of the corner of his eye he was looking at the maids walking up and down the hallway of the main palace.

Yes.

They are checking to see if Seolran is mixed in among them.

‘no wonder… !’

I closed my eyes tightly.

The reason he doesn’t go out of his way to meet the crown princes is because he’s afraid that Seolran, who hears the news, will doubt his sincerity and think of him as a foolish person.

He wants to remain a monarch who steadfastly sticks to his beliefs, at the risk of being seen as a fool who goes around meeting various women.

Prince Hyeonwon.

Was he truly a genuine man of this era?

Still, there is a degree… .

‘please… Take action appropriate to your position… !’

I gritted my teeth and swallowed bitterness inside.

How can they connect the crown princes with someone who is so stubborn?

But I am Seoltaepyeong.

A man who burns even brighter in the face of the impossible.

Do you think I will get entangled with the crown princes like this and disappear into the dew on the execution platform?

I go my way.

“Whoa… .”

Having been involved with the crown princes countless times, I know better than anyone else how valuable and great they are, and how deep and grand their vessels are.

I waited for the meeting to end, and then requested a private meeting through the crown prince’s maid.

“It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ate it at the main palace. “I heard you will have a private meeting with the deputy general after the meeting.”

The head maid, Hyeondang, sat in the corner and spoke with her head down.

Queen In, who was shooting an arrow at the archery range in the palace, trembled.

“You mean now?”

Seol Taepyeong and Crown Prince Hyeonwon meet.

I felt anxious without knowing why, so I couldn’t stay still.

Surviving on Ropan Episode 132

Reverse Return Search (2)

A traitor.

This refers to those who are obsessed with currying favor and taking care of their own interests, and who blind the monarch.

There are many people who came to Cheongdo Palace and decided to pursue a career as a bureaucrat, but how many people in the world are there who decided from the start that they would become treacherous?

No matter how cold the world is, there are fewer people than you think who enter the palace with only an ugly odor from the beginning.

They are just people who survive day by day and discuss reality, and as their clothes get wet in a light rain, only the trivial rhetoric increases.

It is not easy to speak directly to the monarch.

How can you rebel against and speak frankly to someone who holds your life in your hands?

* * *

It was natural that the higher a person became, the more such beliefs would disappear.

Therefore, most people just quietly bow their heads in front of an angry monarch and follow his will.

“It’s been a while since I came to the main palace, so I get to see the deputy general’s face.”

“How are you?”

“As you can see.”

No matter what the buildings of the main palace are, they are all magnificently large.

Among them, he was able to have a private meeting with the crown prince at Hoseon Palace, which served as an annex to the prince’s palace.

Every time I saw Prince Hyeonwon, he suddenly grew, and before I knew it, he was taking on the appearance of a full-fledged royal family member.

Compared to when I first saw it at the birthday ceremony, I can clearly feel the passage of time.

I came here to post a direct statement.

It is necessary to tell the monarch, who was sick and tired of the behavior of high-ranking officials during his growing years, that he must respect the will of high-ranking officials when it comes to respecting them.

To be more specific…

Even though they were crown princes chosen by high officials, they were really good people, so I had to tell them to please take them with them.

“I heard that you had a lot of trouble because you came from the Hwa Yong Seol family. “Although Seol Imun’s cruel behavior was an evil deed that should be engraved in the history of Cheongdo Palace, there is no need to blame you for being an illegitimate child and living without a relationship with Hwayong Seol.”

It seemed like he was guessing what was causing me the most trouble while living in the palace.

I lowered my head and politely told her that I was devastated.

“I am not very prejudiced about your family of origin. “It seems like you have something you want to say, to the extent of asking for a private table. Please say it without adding or subtracting anything.”

Power is definitely good.

The fact that he is Seolran’s younger brother may have played a role, but in any case, he was ranked third in the ranks of Cheongdo Palace military officers.

The fact that I could dare to ask for a private table with the crown prince seemed to prove that I had established a certain position within the Cheongdo Palace.

“I heard that the vice-general was coming, so I told him to bring me some of my best wine.”

Seeing them welcoming me with a satisfied face made me feel a bit burdened.

Of course, ever since Prince Hyeonwon was tormented by high-ranking officials, I bowed my head to him without any political logic.

And even with empty words, I am a military officer who cannot be said to be on good terms with high-ranking officials, so from Prince Hyeonwon’s point of view, I cannot help but be very likable.

“thank you.”

“To be thankful. Well, take it. It is said that it is a liquor distilled four or five times in a region with severe cold. It’s a truly amazing drink that has a fruity flavor even though no fruit is added. It’s a bit harsh, but since he’s still an intact warrior despite being covered in the poisonous blood of a ghost, he’ll probably be able to withstand this much. hahahaha.”

I clinked glasses with Prince Hyeonwon across the simply prepared drinking table.

I politely held my drink with both hands and took a sip, then quickly put it down and spoke quietly.

“I heard that the birthday party is not far away. In particular, it is said that once this birthday ceremony is over, people will begin to learn the King’s studies in earnest and prepare to eat at the main palace… .”

“okay. But how much meaning does that have? “The Emperor corrects you like that, so even if you pretend to be greedy for power, you’ll be frowned upon.”

Prince Hyeonwon, who happily drank a glass of wine, said with a satisfied smile.

“Do you know why the Emperor likes me? “Because I live as if I were dead.”

“… .”

“I live as if I’m dead or not, so I never get upset or act presumptuously. “That is the secret to how I have maintained my position as crown prince over the years.”

“that… .”

“It would be difficult to answer. I understand.”

To me, he only looks like a young man.

Nevertheless, Prince Hyeonwon was already looking at the world with contemplative eyes.

“But, how good was it? If you just stay quiet, you can bring down this country and live like a crown prince. Indeed… “Isn’t this a truly fortunate and happy life?”

“I don’t think what you’re saying is quite right.”

“okay. “You are quick-witted.”

Prince Hyeonwon quietly closed his eyes and seemed to be reminiscing about his past life.

Prince Hyeonwon’s specialty was ‘staying still’.

He was better than anyone else at sitting quietly on a chair and staring blankly into space.

How can you do it ‘well’? Some people may ask.

In some ways, staying still is close to torture.

More than once, I have filled an entire day just by staring blankly into space.

It’s not like anyone forced it. If you wanted to read a book, you would have read it. If you wanted to recite a poem, you would have recited it.

However, Prince Hyeonwon was just an empty person who spent his time sitting still.

Because his life is empty, he does not attach any meaning to his life as the crown prince of Qingdao.

I don’t even want to do anything. Whenever I wanted to do something, things usually developed in a bad way.

If you live in prison like that, you will never get out on your own.
