Queen Insoo (인수대비)

Long live! Long live! Long live the King!

So what abilities do you possess that will allow you to become the Head of the inner palace?

I want to become Grand Prince Su Yang's daughter-in-law.

Don't beg him, oppa.

Don't tell me in this vast land, there is no place to bury our father properly?

I.. won't be able to live much longer.

You... Do you live in the palace?

Please forgive me.

I'm the type of people who will feel extremely miserable if I can't speak my true feelings.

I wish to bring this child into the palace, and made her a palace maid.

If we are fated to meet again, I will tell you then.

This wedding must proceed smoothly, Grand Prince.

Is it you, who wishes to see me?

I'm asking you whether you're the one who asked to see me.

Who are you?

My name is Jang. Initial name is Song. Word is Won Myeong.

Grand Prince Su Yang, is my father.

I am not asking for your name.

So...

I was asking why you came to find me.

You can't understand words?

This marriage was decided on by the Elders of our families.

So I have to find an excuse.

Isn't it? I can't completely go against something that's decided by the Elders.

Yes, was that the meaning?

Because you wanted to reject the wedding, that's why you asked to see the bridegroom?

It's all right. If that's the case,

I will also accept it.

Are you saying anything will do?

I will follow your intentions because marriage cannot be forced.

There is no need to feel sorry.

Do you know who I was,

when we met for the first time in the palace?

You lost your way in the palace, surely you don't belong to the palace.

You're at the Great Hall which is only allowed for Royal Family.

You should be someone I know.

I can't figure out. Very curious. Felt very mysterious. All these were the facts.

So when a scholar official's daughter made the suggestion, Prince Do Won was also firmly against it.

Everything seems to be wine mixed with water, water mixed with wine.

So do you know who I am?

Of course I don't know.

Then, it's fated to be a temporary marriage.

I'm very sorry. She always had few manners.

You don't have to put it that way.

= Hak Hwak (father of Queen Insoo) =-

-= Hak Hwak (father of Queen In Soo) =- I know this doesn't follow the etiquette.

I already intended to meet her.

=Prince Do Wan (eldest son of Grand Prince Su Yang)=-

I already intended to meet her.

Are you referring to her?

Although it seems inappropriate to say this, she is really a very special lady.

=Grand Prince Su Yang and Queen Jeong Hui had two sons and one daughter.=

=The eldest son, Prince Do Won, was very different in character from his father, Grand Prince Su Yang.=

=Submissive personality, gentle behavior.=

What did Han Hak's daughter say?

Nothing much.

Nothing much?

Before this, she insisted to see the bridegroom, but why did she end up saying nothing?

-=Lady Yun (Grand Prince Su Yang's wife)=- Before this, she insisted to see the bridegroom, but why she ended up saying nothing?

-=Grand Prince Su Yang =-

She wanted to see me because...

Why did you stop? Quick continue with it.

She has seen me. There will be news soon, mother.

Don't tell me he has been rejected.

How could he be rejected?

Oh, how could such a thing happened?

A scholar official's daughter insisted to see the appearance of her bridegroom.

Even if she really has no manners, she still can't do this.

I feel that's not bad.

Not bad?

He is the person she is living with for her rest of her lifetime.

That child wanted to meet him. In fact, I'm quite agreeable to it.

I can't stand it.

I might as well get Ming Dynasty's princess to be my daughter-in-law. I can't stand this anymore.

What do you think?

What is it?

= Han Jeong (Queen In Soo) =-

Weak like a young lady.

Weak like a young lady.

-=Prince Gye Yang's wife (second sister of Queen In Soo)=- What are you trying to do? Do you know the status of his family?

Are you rejecting him?

What status? Isn't he just a royal offshoot?

Off...Offshoot?

Born as a dragon's child but yet becomes a python that cannot ascend to heaven. What's the use?

A python even after 1000 years, it's still a python.

Then in the first place, he already didn't catch your eyes.

Then why did you do it?

If they knew it, they would never let you off.

But they won't kill me, right? What abilities do they have?

Are you going to let her have her own way, Father?

Grand Prince Su Yang's wife surely won't forgive us for rejecting this marriage.

Please come in quickly, Right State Councillor.

How is his condition?

=Kim Jong Seo, Right State Councillor=-

He's just out of danger. -=Kim Jong Seo, Right State Councillor=-

=Kim Jong Seo, Right State Councillor=-

I heard that Kim Jong Seo was ordered to enter the palace urgently.

According to the imperial physicians, his Majesty's condition is very unstable.

If he passes away today or tomorrow, it will not be strange at all.

Is it that serious?

Grand Prince, we can't let them do what they want this time.

Grand Prince, we can't let them do what they want this time. -=Gwon Byeok (Advisor to Grand Prince Su Yang)=-

Before Se Jong the Great passed away, he issued a decree

to get Kim Jong Seo, who's stationed at Pyong Yang Province, to bring soldiers into the capital.

Whether it's then or now, the only person he could trust is Kim Jong Seo.

Today, Kim Jong Seo was ordered to enter the palace. It looks to me the same circumstances.

When there're major changes, he would ask Kim Jong Seo to guard the palace.

Stop it.

Grand Prince.

Will brother really kill me?

What can His Majesty do?

His Majesty is only Kim Jong Seo's puppet.

Please be careful with your words.

Emperor Tae Jo fought painstakingly to establish this empire.

How could we allow Kim Jong Seo to usurp the power so easily?

So we must kill Kim Jong Seo.

On what basis should it be?

Basis?

The Winner becomes the King.

Now are you trying to entice me into usurping the throne?

Killing Kim Jong Seo, how could this be considered as usurping the throne?

Please lie down, Your Majesty.

How can a living person lie down to receive his guest?

=Mun Jong, Se Jong's eldest son.=-

How can a living person lie down to receive his guest?

It's fine to have Eom Ja Chi here.

I don't know when I will die.

Your Majesty.

Come in.

Royal Noble Consort Hye has taken good care of the Prince Successor. She can be trusted.

-=Prince Successor (Yi Hong Wi, future King Dan Jong)=- -=Royal Noble Consort Hye (King Se Jong's 4th wife)=-

-=Prince Successor (Yi Hong Wi, future King Dan Jong)=- -=Royal Noble Consort Hye (King Se Jong's 4th wife)=-

Please sit down, Right State Councillor.

Quickly kowtow to Right State Councillor.

I can't receive this.

What are you waiting? I asked you to kowtow to him.

I count on you to take care of the Prince Successor.

Please protect the Prince Successor, Your Excellency.

I will trust Right State Councillor.

Please come over here, Your Highness.

Your Highness, even if it crushes my body and breaks my bones, and I die a thousand times,

I will still protect Your Highness.

What did Grand Prince say?

He's half-hearted.

Is this something that can be done half-heartedly?

At the time when King Se Jong The Great was about to die,

we were almost killed by Kim Jong Seo. It wasn't easy to escape from the danger.

Thinking about it now, that incident was too scary.

Deep into the night, Kim Jong Seo's soldiers came and surrounded our residence.

And it lasted as long as half a month.

Don't tell me you've forgotten?

Grand Prince, when you were placed under house arrest,

You almost didn't make it to your Father's funeral.

You must find a way to keep us alive. You can't sit and wait for your death.

Lady Bu, His Excellency surely has his own thinking.

Thinking?

He's too kind-hearted, and not decisive.

Right State Councillor, you're really here.

Right State Councillor, you must help me to matchmake.

Matchmake?

Yes, my son has fallen in love with Han Hak's daughter.

He's lovesick and has fallen ill as well.

Well, this is a big thing!

Aigoo, Chief State Councillor, you're here too.

Han Hak has 6 daughters. Which one are you referring to?

I heard she is the youngest.

This is really a big thing.

Han Hak's youngest daughter is supposed to be sent to the Ming Dynasty as concubine.

Concubine?

Han Hak's older sisters were all chosen to be imperial concubines by the Ming Dynasty's Emperor.

-=Hwang Bo In, Chief State Councillor=- Han Hak's older sisters were all chosen to be imperial concubines by the Ming Dynasty's Emperor.

That's why he acted so arrogantly.

That's why it's not possible.

That's right.

The Ming Dynasty's Emperor is only 22 years old.

If his youngest daughter becomes his concubine,

she surely will be treasured.

I was thinking why he's against it...

Let me give Grand Prince Su Yang a recommended prescription

that's very useful to treat lovesickness.

That's right.

Find horse manure and dry it under the sun. Then mix it with honey.

Right. I need some help from His Majesty.

If Brother is willing to help me matchmake them,

Han Hak might change his mind. I'm going in first.

Did you say horse manure, Chief State Councillor? Isn't it ox manure?

Thank you.

Horse manure. Horse manure.

How can this person behave in this way?

Isn't it not?

Last time, during that welcome ceremony, he's even dancing.

Today, he's pretending to be an idiot.

Su Yang might be afraid of you.

That's why he's a scary person.

Why is he scary?

This time, it's obvious that he's asking you to spare his life.

Don't tell me he's asking me to let him off?

So.

Chief State Councillor, are you making fun of me now?

What are you talking about?
