Episode 11
What are we going to do from now on?
What are we going to do?
Everything must be done according to the Laws and regulations..
Those people don't they like the Laws and regulations a lot?
All the other princes besides the Crown Prince must stay outside the palace.
Isn't that their Laws and regulations?
Then let's go according to Laws and regulations for the Chu Jeon..
Don't you think so?
Since the regulations are that way, we'll just have to follow it.
This is only the beginning.
For 14 years
the anger and disdain that I felt...
I'm going to return these to them several times more..
Just wait and see.
Your Majesty!
You cannot do this!
You must get permission from the horse riding instructor first..
You said that she's on a vacation.
How can I wait until next week?
Your Majesty, this is dangerous!
If you do that and get hurt---
Don't worry.
Today, I'm going to just pet it and walk with it.
Right?
You're so well behaved!
My name is Shin Chaegyung.
Hi!
You're so well behaved!
Mama!
You cannot do this!
You know how when you watch Western movies
the main character does this.
Excuse me!
Please move!!
Are you alright?
Did you get hurt?
But, unnie..
which palace's Sang Gong unnie are you?
are you allowed to wear those kinds of clothes in the palace as well?
GongJu mama.
Princess HaeMyung!
How have you been?
Thank you, Mama!
Tada!
Isn't it pretty?
This is for you..
Thanks, Mama..
UNICEF.. The green colored Peace organization..
The World youth volunteer association..
What else?
If we count up all the welfare activities you've done for the whole of last year..
I'm afraid that even all my 10 fingers aren't enough to use..
We thought you have forgot about your palace's life since you are busily traveling the world.
Then..
Gongju mama..
Were you "protecting" the world during that period of time?
I'm sorry.
Go ahead and continue with what you were saying.
Noona!
Shin Goon!
What happened to you hair?
Does it look bad?
No it looks very good on you! You look very cool!
How was it throughout a year?
Tell me about it..
The world's most boring thing is to listen to another person's travel stories.
I'm more curious about you two.
How's life in the palace?
It's more tedious than you thought, huh?
At first it was a bit hard, now it's--
Gongju Mama. Gongju Mama!
Time went by so quickly already.
Halmamama must be waiting.
Yeah, let's go.
Oh, wait.
If you report everything in details to Halmamama it's going to be very boring.
I'll be back.
He's completely a new stranger..
Like a total different person.
There are more than 16,000,000 Orphans in the north side of the Sahara.
Poverty and war which often re-occured has brought them fear and un-peacefulness.
Although I don't need to say these.
But compared to others, these hungry children who begged for survival.
It's really a sight that I couldn't bear to see.
One side is having trouble over the overweight issue.
And the other side have to bear with poverty.
This world is really unfair.
Halmamama had told us this before.
Poverty is what even the king can't resolve and you say that it needs to be change.
Don't you remember?
Do you still remember it?
Of course.
It was when we were young.
For some reason,
that time when you told me that, it won't leave my mind.
Isn't that funny?
I wasn't even 10 years old.
Then, you need to work even harder and give out even more.
It's like sitting here like a fool while putting up the fake hair.
It will only waste your life away.
Then, Halmamama...
you should change your hair style like my sister.
Should I?
Halmamama.
then should we take a picture together?
Look here.
One
two..
Wait, look where?
Over here.
One.
Two.
Three!
Kimchi.
Mama, Hwang-hu Mama has arrived.
Your mother will be worried, so don't tell her about your trip to Africa.
Okay.
What happened to your hair?
And your outfit?
You worried a lot because of me, right? Mother?
Mother? What do you mean?
Gongju!
Don't say anything.
I have wanted to hug you like this..
Mother.
So far...
these two guys, Kim Hee Yeon and Park Hee Yeon, has helped us greatly.
Yes, I know.
I was planning on meeting them to say thank you.
I'm glad that we're meeting like this.
Thank you.
No.
Prince Hyo Ryul is not just anybody.
Apart from us being school mates, it is a mandatory chance to be helping you.
If you want to recover Hyo Ryul's name sake...
We'll have to help the Crown prince's wife and son get back their original position.
What we have to do is still a lot more.
I'm not the HwangTaeJaBi Mama.
Please don't call me that from now on.
What are you talking about?
You're our eternal HwangTaeJaBi Mama.
Now, you must get ready to become the Great Queen.
Go ahead first.
I will go with Senator Kim when he comes out.
I heard that the prince has returned?
Yes.
In fact, I was going to show you something.
Pyeha, are you unable to sleep?
If you don't sleep like this every night, because of worries...
You have fallen sick because you had overwork.
Whenever I think about my brother who passed away,
my heart feels heavy and frustrated.
Every year when Crown prince Hyo Ryul's Death anniversary approaches,
You'll be more sensitive.
If only I didn't cause that accident...
My brother has died because of me... because of me.
There was nothing you could have done about that accident.
It is not your fault.
Why are you still blaming yourself for such a long time?
I'm the younger brother who couldn't protect my brother's family from being chase out of the palace.
This wasn't your intention, too.
Everything was done according to the Royal family's laws and the former king's instructions.
Maybe it's long fated that the Chu Jeon had to be done.
Although you are in King's position...
You have always held your late brother as the king in your heart.
As time passed by, I have watched over the pain you were feeling.
Your pain was my pain.
I won't oppose the Chu Jeon.
If it will make the burden in your heart a bit lighter, I'll do it.
Knock, knock.
What are you doing, Shin Goon?
Today's a bit cold, huh?
Even though I ate some medicine for cold, it's too cold.
Your room's warm, unlike you.
Did you come to spread your cold?
How could you say something like that?
Want to get in?
What?!
Acting like you're surprised?
We've been in the same bed for a few days. why are you still pretending to be shy?
This has coal stones mattress under it, so it's warm.
But still!
Then, let me be impolite for once?
Excuse me.
This is so warm!
This is good.
But...
I heard this somewhere...
but Was I supposed to get married to Yul?
Grandfather's promise was to arrange a marriage with you and the next prince to be king.
The crown grandson wasn't me but Yul at that time.
You were only his future wife for a period of time.
I see.
After hearing that, I'm a bit embarrassed to face him.
Why? Are you regretting now?
If it's so regretful, why don't you just...
Nahn pahboyuhsuhtjyo. I was stupid
Negah pahbohyuhsuhtjyo. I was an idiot.
Hoohwehaedoh nujutjyo aljyo dohrikil soon uhpjyo It's too late for me to regret it. I know that I can't turn back the hands of time.
Keudael bohl soo uhpsuhyo I wont be able to see you anymore...
nadoh algoh issuhyo I know that
Naegah jungmal jalmohthaesuhyo jungmahl mianhaeyo it's my fault. I am really sorry
Keuddaen yaegihaji mohthaetjyo nuhmoo uhrisuhguhtjyo I couldn't tell you then but I am really sorry
Ijae wasuh iruhkae aetaeOomyuh nan yongsuhreul piruhyo So now I come to beg you for forgiveness
Dangshineun naneun pahboh imnida Jahjohnshim Ddaemoonae You and I are stupid. Because of my pride
SoolgwaSseun dahmpaeyuhngiroh manggahjigoh ihtjyo I am destroying myself with the cigarettes and beer
Dangshineun naneun pahboh imnida You and I am stupid
Ahjihk saranghagi-ae Because you still love me
haroo jongil pungpung oolgohmksihtjyo you are crying everyday
Keudaedoh nahdoh mohdoo pahbohchuhrum We are both idiots
What are you doing instead of sleeping?
All of you back down.
What are you doing?
It's not like that...
What do you mean, what are we doing?
This place is the eastern palace,
how could you barge in like that to our personal place as you wish?
Even if you are the Queen, shouldn't you have some manners to keep?
And we didn't do what you thought we were doing, so don't worry.
All I was doing was keeping her warm.
Do you think you have the right to yell at me ?
Go outside for a moment, Bigung.
Yes!
What do you have to say to me?
This is the gossip newspaper of Thailand.
Is what the news reported true?
Why have you done this!?
This is the time when everyone's watching over your every single move.
How could you have done something like this?
Seja, please come to the Hwang Gong and do your explaining.
What's wrong with her?
Why did she do that?
What report came out?
What is this?
Were you two in Thailand together?
This isn't true, right?
Do I need to tell you everything?
I'm just curious.
You don't need to know.
What?
I can't ask you questions like these?
So I don't have the right to ask?
You don't have to worry about this.
Take care of your health instead of trying to find out silly stuff.
You don't have to worry if I'm sick or not.
I'm very healthy.
So don't be concerned.
You're healthy you said?!?
Do you know how you made everyone worried???
What's the problem?!
What is so wrong that you can't even eat properly!?!
You don't need to know why I'm suffering.
What?!
You don't even let me ask you about this picture.
So, don't matter whether I die from starvation or not.
Shin Chaegyung! You!
I'm so stupid.
Without knowing that you were having fun with Hyorin,
I...
I was waiting for you, not being able to sleep.
I feel really stupid.
Did this really come out in the newspaper?
Why are you so surprised?
Were you thinking that I was doing yoga peacefully?
What are you going to do?
Do what?
Something will happen.
Is the prince allowed to do that?
Since when did this happen?
what?
Special news.
What's this?
The picture of Shin Goon and Hyorin in Thailand...
Has already became the people's most talk-about topic for many days.
The news just spread more far and wide.
And slowly, there were rumors about me and Shin Goon on bad terms.
In the end, the Royal family was left facing a difficult situation.
Hi.
What's going on?
Shin Chaegyung.
Are you alright?
What?
About the Prince and Min Hyorin.
They're just friends.
That girl was the one who tried to seduce him first.
That's right, although she said she met him by coincidence in overseas.
You should have met him in private when that guy is a Prince.
What's wrong with your face?
I'm tired and I haven't eaten.
Your relationship with him... it's okay, right?
Was there ever a time when we had a good relationship?
Hi.
Hey...
Do you want to talk with me?
Something bad has happened!
Our Princess has offered to have a battle with Min Hyorin.
Are you not going?
Big news!
Right now there's a big match between Shin Chaegyung and Min Hyorin.
What?
Aren't you going?
Aren't you supposed to stop them?
No thanks.
Let's go.
You must be in such a bad position.
Aren't your parents saying something about this?
You just met him while you went there.
Everybody has been spreading exaggerated rumors, so...
Hold on!
Wait!
We will protect the Princess!
Were you the one who tried to seduce the prince?
You're too weak to win!
Leave it to us!
Sorry.
I think my friends misunderstood.
So anyways, what I'm trying to say is that,
while you were on your way...
Your "coincidence" theory is incorrect.
I went to Thailand to meet Shin, purposely.
In Korea, you both husband and wife are always together, so I can't say whatever I wanted to say.
There's a lot of things I want to say to him but after the marriage, it became rather difficult.
But we're the ones who got married first.
You might be the one who obtain the marriage first, but the one who first received a proposal and was liked...
It's me, Min Hyorin.
Since it's already like that, why are you saying this now?
Because I don't want to be known as the old Min Hyorin.
Like a fool, I lost my love. Things like these, it's enough for it to happen once.
I don't know how well you two get along
but it seems that he embraces my presence pretty well.
What did you say?
Saying these things in front of you makes me feel like a mistress.
What? How can you phrased it like that?
What're you talking about?
I am not interested in the position of the Crown Princess. To me, I am contented if I have Shin.
This is weird. Why is everything so blurry?
Sorry.
Let's talk some other time...
Now.. my body....
Chaegyung. Chaegyung....
Chaegyung, are you okay?
Chaegyung. Chaegyung....
Chaegyung. Chaegyung, are you okay?
Move over.
Isn't she putting up a show?
How is it?
How is it like to be infamous?
The title of the "Crown Prince's girlfriend" is really huge, I am experiencing it now.
Do you have to say those things to Chaegyung?
I caused the cousin-in-law, whom you are in love with to faint.
I think you must be hating me right?
Don't hurt Chaegyung.
You are not going to thank me?
What?
If such things were to happen more often, it is easier for you to become the Crown Prince.
Isn't that what you want?
I don't what to get it by using these methods.
I will do things my own way in the future.
Shin didn't even spare me a glance just now.
I feel that he didn't even see me there.
I feel so insecure.
Whatever it is, you will get what you want.
How is she?
The fever went down a little.
She is sleeping now.
Then want to have a chat with me?
You don't have to worry too much about the pictures in the newspapers.
Mother and the Imperial Officer will handle it.
You can gain a lot of experience from this incident.
When I got the news that you got married, I thought you married that woman.
I proposed.
Then?
I got rejected.
What? Really?
The Crown Prince Lee Shin got rejected?
I didn't even say much and I got rejected already.
But I thank her.
What?
I wouldn't want someone I like to live the boring life I have.
Hyorin thinks a lot and she wants a lot as well, so she can't be a puppet in the palace.
Then what about Chaegyung?
At first, I thought she will be all right.
But it seems that it is not like that.
She was born not to have the ability to become a puppet of the palace.
Is it?
Things that are boring and tiring to me, Chaegyung will feel that they are fascinating.
From what I see, it's is not that she is getting used to the palace,
But the palace is getting used to her.
That's why she can't be a puppet of the palace.
Is it so?
Whatever it is, that is really exceptional.
Yes, she is a exceptional girl.
What's that...
Are you liking her already?
What are you talking about. It's a political marriage.
Two people who are not in love got married, but does it mean that they won't have love, forever?
I traveled all over the world for the past 2 years. I felt a lot and I learnt a lot.
To people, love is still the most important thing.
There are many different ways of expressing love but to people, the most important thing...
It's still love.
Our Shin, will also come to accept a love like this, right?
Oi. You sound like a priest.
A priest?
A priest is not bad either.
Sorry for letting you wait for so long.
BigungMama just had a medications and she fell asleep. She is not awake yet.
And Seja Jeonha is not around either.
I will wait.
Yes.
Comparing to Seja Jeonha, Hwi Sung Gong Mama is better looking right?
Say something...
It hurts.
Rub it for me.
Mom, Mom...
Yul Goon?
How did you get in here?
I am here to visit the sick.
This is a mint plant called apple mint, it's very good for colds.
It smells great.
Are you feeling better?
Yul Goon is the only one who cares for me, thank you.
It's so stuffy, I want to get some fresh air.
It feels like I'm alive again.
That's good.
Staying in bed all day makes me feel like I am even weaker.
Aja Aja, be strong.
Don't get sick in the future.
When you are sick, I feel the pain too.
You're here?
What is the sick person doing sitting out here?
Hey, Shin Goon. Who caused me to be sick in the first place?
It's only my bad luck that I am with you. You didn't even come to see me...
Shut up, who do you think carried you back to the palace?
Do you know how heavy you are?
Go shed some of that weight off when you have the time.
You really carried me back?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Get in the house quick.
Why?
The medication is ready, drink it, be obedient and go back to sleep.
You hurt here and there, it's really troublesome.
Hey! How can you chase someone away like this... hey.
The moment you heard that BigungMama is ill, you rushed here?
When did you get here?
Let's play together.
Let me tag along...
Or do you guys have some secret?
My mouth is really tight...
Ow. My head.. OW.. the door...
Go in!
I don't think that she's sick enough for you to be visiting.
She may look strong on the surface but she misses her mom.
She was calling for her mom in her sleep.
It seems that you heart is already stamped with the impression.
"She became like that because I have been mistreating her?"
Why? Does that really trouble you?
Anyways, if you really really worried for her till this state,
you shouldn't let her stay here in the cold, but get her back in the house quickly.
The younger brother mourning for the older brother. This has never happen before.
How do we settle this?
Hye Jung Gong, what do you think about this?
This topic is too sudden.
I had buried him deep in my heart 14 years ago.
That's right.
But there is one thing..
As time goes by, he is being forgotten by the people.
My heart hurts because of that.
That's true.
What the King wanted was to proceed with the "Chu Jeon" ceremony as soon as possible.
But the problem lies in after the ceremony end,
the change in the ranking of Hye Jung Gong and Hwi Sung Goon's status.
Will bring in lots of headaches..
I really don't know much about politics.
But I know that you had never forgotten about us and you still remember us.
I'm really thankful.
The part to convince the dowager, please leave it to me.
Thank you, Nanny. Really, thank you.
There's no need to thank me, this is what I should do.
There are still people in the palace who misses the decreased Crown Prince.
If he were to become king, he would have been a great king.
Please forgive me for my words.
14 years ago, Hye Jung Gong Mama, followed the rules of the palace, and gave up the title of the Crown Princess.
And left the palace with the then young Hwi Sung Goon Mama.
Yes. It was like that.
It was unfortunate at that time.
Why was the Past King so unsympathetic and cold?
I didn't even have any say in that matter.
Yes, Mama. It was like that.
How can the Past King made the decision just like that in that kind of circumstances?
Between 2 sons, daughter-in-laws and the grandchildren
I really do not know what to do.
Mama. The Past King is no longer here.
What do you mean by that?
Mama, I am trying to say that you have the highest authority now.
That's right.
If this carries on, the conflicts will only increase and cause hurts to both parties involved.
Before that happens, the dowager who has the highest authority, should make a decision.
That is the only way to have peace back in the Imperial Family.
Consequences?
The answer is in your heart, Mama.
The answer is in my heart...
Are you awake?
How are you feeling?
Do you feel like eating anything?
No.
What do I have to do to make you eat?
What do I have to do...
- Mom! - Chaegyung!
How did you become like this? My child. My child.
I missed you so much.
When we heard that you fainted, we were so scared.
I heard that you do not have appetite and you are not eating well.
- Why? - Chaejoon is not here?
He is working out, he went out with his friends.
Why didn’t you come and visit me at all? I miss mom and dad a lot!
Our Princess, why is your face so swollen?
Compared to the past, she slimmed down a lot.
No, her face is swollen.
I will leave the room temporarily.
Yes.
Chaegyung. Guess what dad brought you?
What are all these?
Chaegyung's favorite dishes.
There are still more here.
I will grow fat after finishing these.
Once she sees food she forgets everything else.
It's because the food is made by mum and dad.
Of course, of course, eat more.
Dad made these?
Of course.
This is a rare sight in 10 year.
There is still duck liver in there.
Here is the kimchi.
I really want to eat that.
Look at the way she eats.
Okay, eat slowly. Your mouth is going to explode.
Someone who can eat so much.
About this, son-in-law.
No, I mean.. Jeonha.
I think there shouldn’t be a problem to allow our Chaegyung to go back home for a short while right?
That's right, Jeonha. Getting together with her family will allow her to rest and get well better.
I'm sorry, but I am afraid it can't be done.
She may feel better after coming back from home,
but if she gets sick again like this, then does it mean that she has to go home again?
I am very confused, I need her by my side now.
Jeonha, the Queen has already agreed to this.
Chaegyung is my wife.
We make our own decisions.
In the palace, we have the best medical technology and people to look after her, so please do not worry too much.
Fu Wang Gong Mama, the Great Queen asks for a meeting with you before you leave.
You may feel that I am very ruthless and cold but for the future, I will still have to say this...
The guardian now for Chaegyung is no longer mother and father-in-law.
It's me, your son-in-law.
Halmamama has requested to meet your parents, so they went to see her now.
You bad guy!
Who are you to speak to my parents like that?
They pleaded with you because they care about me.
How can you say such things to them?
Things that cannot be done, it's better to give up earlier.
For someone like you, if you go back once,
you'll be thinking of getting out when you are having a difficult time again.
That will be only giving me more trouble.
That's why I won't allow it.
Allow?
Why does everything I do has to be approved by you?
Aren’t you living the way you want to?
You can meet whoever you want to meet.
Are you asking because you really don't know?
It seems that you have a misunderstanding.
The life in the palace and life outside the palace are two different world.
Outside the palace, male and female may call for equality but you are living here..
Everything from the architecture to the decorations, are immersed in the midst of tradition.
Whether it so old that rust is falling or it still needs to be broken,
At least here, the deep embedded roots of traditions still remain completely intact.
And according to tradition, the wife has to obey the husband completely, understand?
Remember to eat on time.
Such a bad... bad guy.
If I allow you to leave...
you will for sure...
won't be returning here again.
Please don't worry.
Yes, there's nothing much to be worried about..
She's really an active child.
And this is...?
Sorry for the late introduction, this is HaeMyung.
This is the very elegant, Gongju??
Always seeing her name on the TV and newspaper, I always wonder who might it be.
Very glad to meet you.
We are very honored to meet you, Mama.
Yes. This is the first time.
Lately, Princess lost her appetite and is not eating well, we are worried for her.
Is there anything she likes to eat back at home?
Yes. Of course.
Our Chaegyung...
Her favorite dishes are, spicy rice cakes and pig's blood. Especially chicken...
I am sorry to say this, Mama.
Yes, please continue.
I feel that the reason for her sickness did not originated from her body.
But it originated from the loneliness in her heart.
Didn’t we promised the Queen to keep this from the Dowager?
Yes. That's right.
Our Chaegyung...
No, BigungMama, the secret to cure her lost of appetite is very simple.
As long as she has the spicy rice cakes and delicious smelling pig's blood.
All these will be enough to increase her appetite.
Please consider my suggestion, Mama.
I feel that the plan is proceeding too fast.
What do you mean?
I am afraid.
I am not mentally prepared yet.
What are you talking about?
You received education on how to become the Crown Prince In England for the past 14 years.
And now you say you are not prepared? What is this?
With just the picture alone, it's enough to remove Shin from the position of the Crown Prince.
But I wouldn’t be presented with the position of the Crown Prince officially.
To add on, about mom's plans.
What plans of mine?
It's about Hyorin.
The timing is not right yet.
Perhaps we could have been able to enter the palace but once this photo is exposed,
Hyorin will be pushed to the limit.
So?
So, everything will have to be pushed back, delayed.
When it is time to remove Shin from the position of the Crown Prince, I will do it personally.
When that day comes, even mom can't stop me.
Our Prince thinks more complicatedly than I do.
Okay, I am glad to see your anticipations.
I always thought I am fighting this battle alone.
Teacher.
Hyorin is here.
Please drink.
Yes.
It has been tough lately right?
I can still handle it.
Didn’t the misfortune become something good? There will be another chance.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Teacher, congratulations.
What for?
You are moving into the palace soon.
It's still early.
The people are already talking about it, there's no difference from entering the Palace.
Is it?
You are always congratulating me. Thanks.
When I move into the palace, come to the palace often. We can drink tea and practice yoga together.
It's my honor to be invited by you, I've never enter the palace.
Then I will definitely invite you.
No, it's okay, I am almost recovered.
Mom's precious daughter Shin Chaegyung is very healthy here. Don’t you know?
I eat the best food and the best medications but it would be better if you are by my side.
If it was back at home, I would be cured in a day. Here, I have to wait for a least a few days.
Yes.
I am good now, really.
Mom, you have to take care of your health too.
I understand.
I am hanging up.
You hang up first.
Oi health nutrient, you look a bit better now.
I heard you asked for your mom in your sleep.
Oi. It's now my turn to hold you as hostage.
Every time you think about going home, I also wanted to allow you to.
But, the status as a Crown Princess is much too special so I can't allow it.
It's because I want to secure my position as a Crown Prince.
At least during this period of time, I do not want to go down in history as a useless Crown Prince.
What do you mean?
During this period?
This is going to happen one or two years from now.
What?
I will give up the position of the Crown Prince.
At that time, it would have been great if the grandchildren played around and had fun.
In the past you used to dance and play around in-front of your grandmother. Very obedient.
Don't wait for me.
I can give you nothing.
It's okay to just stay where you are. Just now you are standing beside me now.
Whether I meet shin or not, it's my choice.
If he gets hurt because of me, I do not want that.
That's all i want to say.
The new competition begins.
Isn't that a political marriage?
You think too much.
You really should be King.
You treasure everything she gave you.
You treasure it so much.
