Queen Insoo (인수대비)

Queen Insoo ~Episode 43~

Your Majesty, Her Majesty has entered.

Escort her in.

Welcome.

Your Majesty, please receive Her Majesty's greeting.

What greeting is necessary between spouses?

All right.

Your Highness.

Is your body feeling well?

Once will suffice. Just sit down.

It's all right. Your body is heavy, so please stop.

The Queen has gotten pregnant in the past, but they said that she miscarried.

At the time, she didn't realize that she was miscarrying, but I hear that she found out later on?

Are you saying that she has been hiding that?

Please sit down.

Your Majesty,

I, who lack in so many ways, has become the owner of the Queen's Palace.

As I keep thinking of it, everything is dark in front of my eyes, since I don't know how to serve Your Majesty.

I said stop with the greeting and sit down. It looks like you're out of breath.

Your Highness, please sit down.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

When was month of the due date?

It is this November.

Hence why this must be the difficult time.

Yes, Your Majesty.

It is good to take frequent walks in the remaining months before giving birth.

According to the midwives, she must do that in order to give birth successfully.

You don't know what you're saying! This is the time when she should be more careful with her body.

I'm sorry, wife. Your coronation should have been held majestically.

It's nonsense, Your Majesty.

I'm saying that because I am the one who feels disappointed.

If you're that disappointed, then you can held one for me after I give birth to the Crown Prince.

Let's do that.

I'm sorry but Your Majesty,

when Her Majesty gives birth to the Crown Prince, then it will be a long waited celebration in the Palace.

Is that so? - Yes, Your Majesty.

Munjong was born while residing outside of the Palace, and so were Sejo and Yejong.

Hence why when Her Majesty gives birth to a son,

then he will be the Crown Prince who will be born in the Palace in very long time.

Is that right?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am a human who sure has plenty of fortune.

A Crown Prince? According to whom? It's the same as drinking the Kimchi broth first.

That's what I'm saying.

What is the Queen doing?

She is giving the greeting to His Majesty.

Did you deliver my message?

Yes, Your Highness.

How come Queen Dowager still hasn't arrived?

I'm sorry to say this, but Her Highness will receive the greeting separately, they said.

Receive the greeting separately?

She probably has a lot to say, since she has a new daughter-in-law.

I said to give the greetings together, since the Queen might feel tired having to carry her heavy body here and there.

Even if she would like to receive separate greeting! Grandmother-In-Law should receive it before Mother-In-Law!

It's all done. Let your legs out and sit comfortably.

I told everyone to leave, since you look like you're tired.

Your Majesty,

No matter how rigorous the Queen is, it is the same as being daughter-in-law outside of the Palace.

From now on, Your Majesty...Of course when meeting the three elders,

and even when meeting with a mere Court Lady, you must not treat me without proper respect.

Song Yi.

Your Majesty.

The reason why I appointed you as my wife was because I feel comfortable being with you.

Even so, are you saying that I should be proper in front of you?

Your Majesty... - Listen to what I have to say.

Since you lived in the same house, so you probably know, too. But the scariest and the most strict person in this world

is my mother.

In front of mother,

I felt suffocated.

Do you know why my brother went out side of mother's eyes?

I looked right at mother's eyes to fight my fear of her,

but since my brother is a nice person, he used to look down when mother starred at him.

In some ways,

my brother is by far better son than I am.

Then, is that the reason why you've appointed me as the Queen?

What are you saying?

The Queen Dowager has never liked me once.

Isn't it true

that you'd like to do what your mother doesn't approve?

What do you mean by discarding the temporal authority and the State Council's Seo Sa Jae?

Exactly whose idea was that?

The fact that I cannot properly rule as the King before I get rid of all the older loyal subjects

you know it better than anyone, right?

How many times do I have to tell you, so that you can understand what I'm saying?

I'm not telling you to stay still, because I'm afraid of the loyal subjects.

Your Majesty, just leave the politics to me.

That is not to be accomplished by forcing it with power.

Your Grandfather, Sejo tried to kill loyal subjects, and he tried to kill me as well.

However, he failed every time. Do you know why?

Because he couldn't protect the throne without those people.

You cannot rush it.

At some point, we'll have to kill Han Myung Hae.

The Great Queen Dowager's family must be thrown out of the State Council.

However, this is not the time.

If they all combine their power to fight, then you cannot protect that seat.

Do you understand, Your Majesty?

Yes, Mother.

I did accomplish one thing.

Since the Queen's family is dysfunctional, there is no one I can appoint as the family member.

In the future, you won't have problem because of your In-Law's family.

Is that why you chose Suk Yi, Yoon as the Queen?

I had lot of thoughts.

I thought about putting a daughter from a prestigious family, too...

If I did that, then her family will probably rise to power.

Even though the Queen is uneducated,

now that she has become my daughter-in-law, I will make her into a person.

What if she gets outside of your eyes?

If it can't be done by teaching her, then I should teach her until it does.

I will leave now then.

Your Majesty!

Leave it to me.

I will take care of everything.

I will do all the bad deeds, so you focus on doing only good deeds.

Your Majesty...

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

No matter what happens, I will do everything to make Her Highness become fond of me.

Just give birth to a son.

No matter what, you must give birth to a son.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Let's go to the Great Queen Dowager's.

I'm sorry, but Your Highness...The Queen Dowager is waiting for you.

Isn't it the law to give greeting to the elder of the Palace first?

Her Majesty is going to the Great Queen Dowager's

Did you say that she went to the Great Queen Dowager's?

Yes, Your Highness.

I said so many times that she must see me before...

Since she didn't even pretend to listen...

Before she went to greet the Great Queen Dowager,

I have something to tell her.

You should've gone to the Queen Dowager's first...

Wouldn't greeting the elder first the proper thing to do?

That is true.

The Queen Dowager's command of visiting her first was so eager,

so I told her to do that,

but since Her Majesty was being so stubborn being proper,

so I escorted her here first.

Why is there so much excuse?

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

She is telling the Queen's unfortunate situation...what excuse?

Isn' it obvious that the Queen Dowager gets her daughter-in-law's greeting first?

Obvious?

Then is it wrong to say that I want to see my granddaughter-in-law?

Give birth to a son, so you don't get hardships from mother-in-law.

Yes, Your Highness.

What Highness? Call me Grandmother from now on.

Yes, Grandmother.

Hyungnim, it turned out well.

Since the Queen gave the greeting to the Great Queen Dowager first,

wouldn't the Queen Dowager be quite upset?

It looks like we've got a good sight seeing.

She is about to get yet another hateful hair.

Why are you like that, Your Highness?

My stomach hurts, so I can't move.

You must overdone it.

What are you doing? Hurry up and escort Her Majesty to her chamber.

Your Highness, please endure it for a bit.

I will tell the doctors to enter the Queen's Palace.

Let's get to the Queen's Palace.

I definitely saw it with my own two eyes, Your Highness.

The Queen smiled while getting onto the royal palanquin?

Yes, Your Highness.

She is probably pretending to be sick. Since she doesn't want to give greeting to you, she pretended to have stomach pain

to go to the Queen's Palace. Isn't that right, Your Highness?

When I saw her smiling after that, I felt the chill.

Even if she is highly favored by His Majesty... - Stop it now.

Wouldn't that be the message for Your Highness?

These despicable ones!

How dare you trying to embarrass my daughter-in-law in front of me?!

Don't worry. There is an old saying

that said there is no tree that wouldn't fall over by hitting on it ten times.

Not ten or hundred,

we should hit it, even if we must hit it thousand times.

She smiled?

You smiled in front of those wenches?

That's how those wenches will run to the Queen Dowager to report it, right?

Your Highness, until you give birth to a son,

you can't get outside of the Queen Dowager's eyes.

Today I heard something entertaining from His Majesty.

What did you hear?

Open up the blanks. I should lie down before the Queen Dowager comes running.

Your Highness, until you give birth to a son...

Stop taking about "the son talk"!

Everyone is talking about that, I could die with suffocation.

Son! Son, son, son! Ach!

Is it true that the Queen has miscarried?

Not long before the Queen was appointed as Suk Yi, she was bleeding profusely.

Those who served her at the time,

they're talking among themselves about she must have miscarried.

Is she pretending to have done nothing after that?

We cannot know her intention.

When the Queen Dowager hears about this, then she'd really be pleased.

There is nothing to report to the Queen Dowager, Hyungnim.

Isn't the Queen's age more than 30?

If she miscarries again time time, then she won't be able to get pregnant again.

The Queen will miscarry?

We should make that happen.

Be careful what you're saying.

I know of a famous shaman.

Would the baby fall due to chanting spell?
