Perfect Crown (21세기 대군부인)

PERFECT CROWN

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY

Your Royal Highness, is your scandal with CEO Seong Huiju true?

Why was a doctor called to the hotel?

Would you care to respond?

Are you officially confirming it?

Are the rumors true?

- Is it true? - Do you acknowledge it?

Oh. It's Seong Huiju!

Prepare yourself to become the Grand Prince's wife.

You will be up against

the whole nation.

Before all that,

shall we see what you can do?

Well then,

how about a generous donation to the Crown?

Sway public opinion first.

The palace will remain silent.

Hmm.

You had me worried for a second.

Move faster already.

GRAND PRINCE I-AN ENTERS PALACE WITH CEO SEONG HUIJU.

Today, I'm going to show you the trending "Seong Huiju makeup" tutorial,

the look that stole Prince I-AN's heart.

"COMMONER" SEONG HUIJU ENTERS PALACE WHAT'S NEXT?

PERFECT CROWN

EPISODE 3.

Welcome, Your Royal Highness.

Her Majesty is looking for you.

- I will pay her a visit tomorrow. - Your Royal Highness.

Her Majesty has even postponed her meal and is waiting.

The matter seems rather urgent.

Perhaps you can see her now.

Wait for me. I shall be back.

By myself?

Are you afraid?

No.

Take a nap if you are tired.

Okay.

He's even a good actor.

NOT PRIVY TO CEO'S PRIVATE LIFE, A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION IF TRUE

Your Majesty.

Grand Prince I-AN has arrived.

Is such a delay necessary?

- I did not know you were looking for me. - Not that.

I ask whether such a delay is necessary

before you offer an apology for causing such a scandal.

I see.

I hear you brought that maiden with you.

I understand the need to align stories,

but did you have to bring her all the way to the palace?

Have you any intention

of denying it?

It appears I do not.

I plan to confirm

both the tryst at the hotel and the possibility of marriage.

Are you throwing a tantrum?

Premarital pregnancy…

You can rest assured

that no such tantrum will be thrown.

Your Royal Highness, Public Affairs has reached out.

What are you doing here?

- Pardon? - You should be guarding Anhwadang Hall.

To keep an eye on Seong Huiju.

But…

My apologies.

Seong Huiju.

Oh. You're here.

Uncle.

See, I told you it'd be spicy.

Have some water.

I am fine.

Your Majesty, what are you doing here at this late hour?

He said he was having trouble sleeping...

I did not ask you.

I was having trouble sleeping.

So I came by.

What does having trouble sleeping

have to do with this?

She said a full belly would help me fall asleep.

Come in, Court Lady Jung.

Your Majesty.

Shall I escort you to Queen Mother's quarters?

You couldn't just let him finish it in peace?

I mean, come on.

A bowl of ramyeon wouldn't have taken that long to finish.

And if he suffers indigestion?

You would be wholly to blame.

And if Queen Mother is angered?

All that over a measly bowl of ramyeon ?

The Queen Mother…

Denied the request.

Well…

We expected as much.

But you know, it still doesn't feel great.

Like I'm being bullied by my in-laws.

Wait! Hold on a second.

What will you do if my in-laws really bully me?

I mean, just look at how things are unfolding already.

Let's say the Queen Mother and I got into a fight.

Would you take my side?

Why aren't you answering?

Will you take their side and not mine

because they're your family?

I will take your side.

I must appear

insanely infatuated with you,

for people to believe

this absurd marriage is genuine.

No, Your Royal Highness.

You cannot let her sleep in Anhwadang Hall.

We have no choice with the palace gates shut.

We have the quarters of the palace attendants.

But she is not a palace attendant.

I shall look for other vacant quarters...

No need.

Get her a change of clothes as well.

Clothes?

Huh?

Can I get something that's 100% cotton?

My skin's a little sensitive.

Will you not even consider the sofa?

No. This is perfectly fine.

The sofa would be perfectly fine too.

Then you should go. That'd be perfect.

Stop!

My goodness.

- Oh, my. - Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness!

Stay still!

Your Royal Highness.

- Your Royal Highness! - What? Stay still…

My goodness.

Do you know what time it is right now?

It's unlike you to sleep in like this.

Ms. Seong is already on her way to work.

With a pep in her step, at that.

You didn't change?

No. Something wrong?

Are you trying to show off that you spent the night out?

Did you not have time to change?

I did have the time, but had no desire to.

I wanted people to know.

I didn't go home last night.

Oh.

Are you quite pleased?

Yes, I much prefer this over yakgwa.

Did you sleep well last night?

Did you dream about the late king again?

Hmm.

I am afraid.

Do not worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince.

- You will have me by your side... - You cannot, Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

- The wedding rites are about to commence. - So?

You should take your place out there.

Should His Majesty learn of this…

You will be punished for dishonoring the Crown Prince.

Are you prepared for that?

Your Royal Highness!

I clearly gave you a chance.

Whatever happens from here on…

You will have to…

Deal with it yourself.

I am scared.

Ah. Do not worry, Your Majesty.

You will always have your grandfather by your side.

Go on.

FAMILY APPRECIATION MONTH EVENT REPORT

A ROYAL SCANDAL? SEONG HUIJU HIT THE JACKPOT…

"A royal child out of wedlock? That's insane."

That's right. It's totally insane.

"Prince I-AN and Seong Huiju make a terrible couple."

No, we totally make the hottest couple.

Can you stop reading the comments?

Why? I need to monitor the situation closely.

"Guys, maybe she has something on him?

Why else would he date a commoner?"

Why do you think, loser?

Because I'm worth dating. That's why.

- You little… - Here.

The top five trending keywords are all about you.

Your hotel outfit is already sold out.

Really?

Call the PR team.

The PR team? Why?

Why else?

It's time to take back the number-one spot in sales.

How can you even think about that right now?

It's marriage, not retirement.

Oh. Jeongwoo?

Hello, sir.

- Isn't he so handsome? - Super handsome!

This is my first time seeing Prime Minister Min in person.

He looks like a total celebrity.

Right. But what's he doing here?

Maybe because of the scandal?

- Oh! That must be... - Why is no one working?

You're really going to marry him?
