The Princess' Man (공주의 남자)

-=The Upheaval of the Gye Yu Year (1453) The historical event where vice-premier Gim Jong Seo and Grand Prince An Pyeong were framed as traitors and executed for opposing Grand Prince Su Yang's coup=-

Where is His Excellency Grand Prince Su Yang now?

Please follow me.

Has Gim Seung Yu been released?

Yes.

He didn't realize we had intentionally released him, did he?

I don't think so.

If he believes you to be a friend,

he should be on his way to where his father is hiding.

He is a good guide in helping us find Gim Jong Seo.

Young Master.

Move aside.

Father!

I'm fine.

I'm going to the Ministry of Military Affairs. Lead the way.

-=Byeongjo: Ministry of Military Affairs in charge of appointing soldiers, logistics, weapons and defense, which is under the control of the State Council of Joseon.=-

Seung Yu!

Su Yang... I won't let you off even when I arrive in hell!

Father...

Father!

=1 year ago=-

You are really well-behaved and calm. Let me take a ride on you.

Once... Just once... all right?

1... 2... 3...

I'm up!

Agassi!

Agassi!

Aigoo, you got hurt again in the same spot.

I was just about to succeed.

It's because of this horse that you're getting bruises all over your legs.

If Madam finds out, what are you going to do?

I don't know why, but this fellow let me sat on his back.

Quick, quick, get up quickly.

The madam has been waiting for you.

Why are you so late?

Did your mistress go horse riding again?

No, no she didn't.

Tell me the truth right now!

Mother...

Actually I...

How is that possible?

For a child who can't even walk properly,

-=Grand Prince Su Yang=- For a child who can't even walk properly because of her injured leg,

-=Grand Prince Su Yang=- how is it possible for her to go horse riding?

how is it possible for her to go horse riding?

It has been a long time since we last entered the palace.

As a member of the royal family, you must never lose your poise.

Yes, Father.

As Royal Clansmen, we must never be regarded as ignorant people.

Thus, each of you must participate in the discussion enthusiastically and sincerely.

Yes.

Have you sent someone there?

He should have arrived by now.

Father.

=Gim Jong Seo=-

Grand Prince Su Yang has sent a letter.

Letter?

Grand Prince Su Yang hopes that Seung Yu can tie the knot with his daughter.

Seung Yu didn't come home again?

Sir.

The sun is already high up in the sky.

Please wake up.

It's time for you to enter the palace.

They're friends, but why do they differ so much?

Marriage proposal?

Don't spout nonsense.

When mother and father were talking, I eavesdropped on their conversation.

They were talking about proposing a marriage at Lord Gim Jong Seo's residence.

Are you sure it's my marriage?

Yes.

You still don't want to get married, right?

Tell Father

to marry me off instead.

He's the youngest son of the vice-premier who even the King concedes to...

Gim Seung Yu!

Doesn't his name sound dignified?

Let's make our way to Ja Mae Dang.

We still have to pay our respects to Her Highness the Princess.

Eonni, you can go by yourself.

She thinks she's the prettiest and greatest princess in the world.

It is so nauseating.

To be lofty yet humble... To be dignified yet fair...

To be esteemed yet humble

is the way to protect your status.

To be esteemed and yet fair is the way to command respect.

Teacher.

Yes, Your Highness.

I don't see the line you're reading in my book.

How is that possible?

It really isn't here.

That is a book your humble subject has read hundreds of times...

Are you trying to say that I am lying to you now?

That was not my intention.

Please check.

What... what?

I am asking you to come over to check.

Are you expecting me to bring the book over to you instead?

No... definitely not.

Your humble subject...

Please look at the next chapter.

Oh! What is this?

The princess is using her beauty as a weapon to tease the teacher.

This is really inappropriate.

Let's take advantage of this situation

to cancel Her Highness's lecture.

Whoever goes in will be kicked out.

All of the teachers' reputation in the Jong Hak has been tarnished.

Im Chang Gyo, Lee Eung Su, and Gil Byeong Won have all quit their post as jikgang. [Jikgang: Officials of rank five holding office in Seong Gyun Gwan as civil servants.]

She has already teased so many of us, yet she's still unsatisfied!

Now she has even teased Ryeom jikgang.

Haven't I reminded you time and time again not to lift the screen?

What are you doing?

Her Highness is still waiting for you.

In any case, you have to finish the lecture.

I'm too ashamed of myself.

Today you shall be responsible for Her Highness's lecture.

That's impossible.

Just dealing with those ignorant clanswomen

have caused me enough headaches.

Let the new jikgang take charge of this.

This fellow, where exactly did he...

Where did you come from?

I fell into a state of Dok Seo Sam Do while reading, so I was too absorbed to note the time... [Dok Seo Sam Do: the 3 things to use in reading a book - the eye, the mouth, and the mind.]

What did you say? [Dok Seo Sam Do: the three things to use in reading a book - the eye, the mouth, and the mind.]

What did you say?

- Dok Seo Sam Do? - Yes.

Exactly which library is providing you with gisaengs to study?

Why don't you take a look at your face?

My face?

What is this?

Only you would know. Who else is supposed to?

Hurry to where Her Highness is.

Isn't Her Highness's jikgang Ryeom Do Il?

He resigned.

Did Her Highness insult the teacher again?

This is really getting out of hand.

These men pretend to be morally upright, but all of them are just as bad.

Still, you were a bit too much.

Your Royal Highness, Miss Se Ryeong requests an audience with you.

Your Highness.

As a girl, must you really ride a horse?

Your personality is that of a wild child.

How could you hurt your body trying to do things men do?

Your Highness, why do you keep all your silk shoes

if you may never get to wear some of them?

Because I wish to own them.

The same applies to me.

Because I want to ride.

I want it even more because I'm not allowed to ride even though I want to.

Have you even gotten on the horse's back yet?

I've climbed onto it. But it only lasted a short while.

You've gotten hurt so many times, yet you still...

Your Highness, it's time for your lecture.

Miss Se Ryeong also needs to attend her own lecture for royal clanswomen.

Lecture, lecture!

There is nothing more annoying than that.

I refuse to go.

Your Highness, if His Majesty knows about this...

Abamama is helpless against me. (Abamama - used by Prince and Princess when calling their father)

They were talking about proposing a marriage at Lord Gim Jong Seo's residence.

What are you so absorbed thinking about?

If I'm locked up in the house after marriage,

maybe I would be able to understand how Your Highness feels.

What do you mean?

Your Highness is trapped in the depths of this palace. Don't you feel depressed?

What's there to be depressed about?

The palace has everything one would ever need.

Take a look at my backyard.

Doesn't it already house all the flowers that normally can't be found in Joseon?

Compared to those flowers that are specially cultivated,

I prefer ones that naturally grow in the wild.

Your Highness!

I've inquired about who the teacher is.

So there's still someone who dares to come?

It's jikgang Gim Seung Yu.

Gim Seung Yu?

He's the vice-premier's youngest son.

The vice-premiere's youngest son? He's the third son of the vice-premier who even the King concedes to...

Gim Seung Yu!

You absolutely must never lift the screen separating Her Highness from you.

Remember, and remember it well!

Please announce it.

Your Highness, the jikgang is here.

Your Highness, I am jikgang Gim Seung Yu.

To be able to give a lecture to Your Royal Highness

is my utmost honor.

Are you dissatisfied with me?

Why aren't you speaking so I can hear your famed beautiful voice?

Please open the Book of Filial Piety.

Who is this and where from?

It is Miss Se Ryeong from Grand Prince Su Yang's residence.

I don't care if he is Gim Seung Yu or Gim-whatever.

I've had enough with lecturers.

Your Highness,

do you wish to take a walk outside the palace?

Outside the palace?
